Divine Doctor: Daughter of the First Wife

Chapter 1107 Able to Do Anything

Facts have proven that in order to live, humans would be capable of doing anything. Especially for people like Feng Fendai, she already harboured feelings of hatred towards the sisters of the Feng family, and had an almost perverted heart of comparing herself with others. Being unable to match up to Feng Yuheng was enough to make her angry, but who knew that Feng Xiangrong also ended up living in Chun Palace. Even though this was not said to the outside world, but for those with good observation skills, was it even that easy to live in Chun Palace? Especially for women, someone with such a deity aura actually could keep Feng Xiangrong in his manor, it would appear that good news would come from them soon.

Even though Feng Fendai had nothing against the Seventh Prince, she could not deal with the fact that the children of the Feng family were living better than her, she was extremely jealous, and wished for Yu Qianyin to get rid of Feng Xiangrong. Therefore, she was willing to cooperate with the other party, Feng Yuheng could not be deceived, but to deceive Feng Xiangrong, it was an easy thing to do.

Fendai’s suggestion was approved by Yu Qianyin, but Yu Qianyin was not someone who was convinced easily, she released Feng Fendai and Dong Ying who had woken up, keeping Xiao Bao as a hostage. Of course, Fendai wanted to take Xiao Bao out with her, but she could not do anything, either sister and brother died together now or she left first, cooperating with Yu Qianyin until she was satisfied so Xiao Bao would be let go.

When she left, she looked back to quickly glance at Xiao Bao. Her gaze swept over the man next to her and the people standing behind her, she suddenly saw a flash of ambition in all their eyes. A thought flashed through her hand and she vaguely sensed that the purpose for Zong Sui coming to Da Shun was definitely not that simple, in addition, with that heavily injured Fourth Prince, Fendai thought, perhaps the court which had been stable for a short while was going to experience a commotion again.

However, this had nothing to do with her at all, currently she only wanted to save Xiao Bao, no matter what Yu Qianyin wanted her to do, she would do her best to cooperate, the only thing she could do as an insignificant woman was to help the other party get rid of Feng Xiangrong. If Zong Sui could really mess up Da Shun, the Fifth Prince might be able to get good things out of it, breaking this situation which appeared to be fixed.

Feng Fendai and Dong Ying were sent out of that strange house. When they came out, their heads were covered as well, and when the people who sent her out let her go, threw her aside and left quickly, she pulled off the black cloth over her eyes and discovered that she was thrown into an alley. This alley was a dead end, with a wall behind them. Fendai stomped her feet, filled with hatred, but she had to submit to her fate. She stomped her foot, instructing Dong Ying to find a way back. Dong Ying also determined this for a long time before taking her out of the alley to return to Crystal courtyard.

But Dong Ying felt it was strange, she asked Fendai: “This Servant was unconscious for a long time and did not know many things. Young Miss, if it was This Servant and you who returned to the capital, why was Young Master also captured by them? In addition, what method did Young Miss use to escape? That young lady said just now that she wanted to keep Young Master as a hostage, would that be dangerous? Who are those people?”

Dong Ying had many questions and Fendai was frustrated hearing them, saying in annoyance: “Do not ask about things you shouldn’t, just treat it as nothing happened today.”

Dong Ying was stunned, her heart clenching, then she asked again: “Young Master disappeared, if the Fifth Prince asks in future, how should we answer?”

“How else can we answer? He ran out by himself, Xuan Tianyan was unable to keep an eye on the child, how can he still have to face to ask anything from us? It’s rather good that I am not asking him to pay for this loss! If he asks, just say you don’t know. If he asks any further, then let him search on his own, if he can’t find the child, then just pay a little brother back to me.”

Dong Ying did not dare to ask any more, Feng Fendai’s emotions were unstable, she was afraid that she was be punished as well if she asked too much. But the doubts in her heart were saved, and no matter how she thought, the events of today were strange.

At the same time, in the capital, Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng have also activated many people, secretly looking for that missing Eighth Prince. Unfortunately, after looking for so long, they could not obtain any clues. Asking the people in the palace, everyone who had seen the Eighth Prince leave told them that it was them who took him out, and because the two of them came personally, the wardens of the death row prison dared to release him, and the imperial guards at the palace gates dared to let him leave without asking anything.

Xuan Tianming did not understand at all, he asked Feng Yuheng: “Two people who look exactly like you and me? Ah-Heng, what do you think about this?”

At this moment, the two were riding horses on the streets, they looked like they were just strolling around, but their eyes were looking around constantly, searching every corner.

“Exactly like us……” Feng Yuheng’s thoughts drifted and she recalled everything which happened in the past, she told Xuan Tianming: “Do you still remember that time when Zong Sui’s Sixth Princess who called herself Yu Qianyin came to Da Shun? Before sticking to Seventh Brother, she had shown her face before, and even disguised as me to let Bu Cong leave the capital.”

“You’re saying that, the incident this time is related to Zong Sui?” Xuan Tianming frowned, he did receive news that there was internal strife in Zong Sui’s imperial court, the princes forced an abdication and fought for the throne, causing a huge stir. But that was news from very long ago, with the Emperor being inflicted with Gu in Da Shun afterwards, all his thoughts were directed at his own home, so he did not have the leisure to care about Zong Sui. But if the incident this time was really related to Da Shun, it might be another huge commotion! “Can Old Eighth still be cured?” He asked Feng Yuheng, “The last time we saw him, the rot has almost reached his knees and his bones could vaguely be seen, can a person like him still be saved?”

Feng Yuheng shook her head, “He cannot be saved, the poison was given by me, in this world, other than me, no one can save him, it is impossible even for Grandfather.” But because he could not be saved, that was the most puzzling part, “For someone who is about to die, what is the use of taking him out of the palace? Could it be that Gu clan who has been interacting with the Liu family?”

Xuan Tianming denied it immediately: “It won’t! If the Gu Shu ruler does not have the ability to settle this cleanly, he would not be able to ascend the throne of Gu Shu. That clan probably does not have a chance of surviving and naturally does not have the ability to come to Da Shun to cause trouble.”

As the pair were thinking, at this moment, they saw an imperial carriage approach hurriedly, Feng Yuheng recognised it immediately: “It is Seventh Brother’s imperial carriage.”

Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng approached. That imperial carriage also stopped in front of them, then when the curtain was pulled open, a page boy appeared from within, approaching the pair and bowing, saying: “Can Prince and Princess dismount and come here for a chat?”

The people from Chun Palace would never act mysterious without reason, for them to be this careful today, something major must have happened. Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng dismounted. That page boy moved next to their ears and talked like this, stunning the pair. Feng Yuheng immediately approached the horse carriage and pulled open the curtain, seeing Li Kun lying down inside and the imperial physician treating him.

She let the carriage curtain fall and nodded at Xuan Tianming. The pair did not say anything more and personally accompanied the horse carriage back to Chun Palace. After that, with Feng Yuheng personally providing treatment, Li Kun regained consciousness quickly.

Li Kun woke up and many things became much clearer. Therefore, Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng knew that the new Emperor of Zong Sui wanted to break away from Da Shun’s control, and also knew that the largest foreign power who supported the new Emperor onto the throne came from Duanmu Anguo whom they had failed to find, also knowing that there were people from Zong Sui chasing Li Kun and entering Da Shun.

However, with regards to the Eighth Prince’s disappearance, Li Kun did not know anything. He did provide a very good clue though: “My blood-related sister is the most skilled in disguise and knows how to make a type of human skin mask. The resemblance is close enough to be taken as the real thing. She is working together with the new Emperor now and has caused much harm to me, her blood-related older brother. If she also followed the pursuers all the way here, then one of the people who entered the palace must be her.” After saying this, he also looked at Feng Yuheng, saying: “In the earlier years, she had disguised as you before, doing it again is just repeating the same move.”

Feng Yuheng had already thought about the matter of Yu Qianyin participating, but she did not understand, why did the other party plan to do taking an almost dead Eighth Prince? Could it be that they are going to create a fake prince to cause trouble?

The more she thought, the more she felt it was possible and felt some irritation. That damned Xuan Tianmo, if she knew this would happen, she would have killed him directly. She had wanted him to suffer more but did not expect that this would give an opportunity for Zong Sui to make use of.

Li Kun raised his request to the pair once more: “I hope that Your Highness the Ninth Prince and Princess Yu can support me to regain the throne, I have the imperial edict of the previous Emperor with me and I feel compelled to take the position. With me at the throne, I will not make Da Shun an enemy, Zong Sui will forever be a subordinate nation to Da Shun and there will be no betrayal.”

His words were heartfelt, but it was not that easy to help a new Emperor ascend the throne. Xuan Tianming did not agree immediately, only saying that he would consider it and instructed him to recuperate and wait in Chun Palace and that an answer would be given to him a few days later.

The capital was peaceful on the surface, in reality, there were groups and groups of people searching in secret, looking for the Eighth Prince, also looking for those Zong Sui people who infiltrated into Da Shun, taking half a day and one night.

They were searching for people in the capital, and there was also a search going on in the hunting grounds. On the same day, the Fifth Prince discovered that Xiao Bao had disappeared. As his back was turned, that child had run off to an unknown place. After this happened, he asked around and a servant taking care of the horse carriages said that there was a child who wanted to return to the capital. Calling himself the younger brother to Feng family’s young miss, he said his older sister left first and had him catch up to her from behind.

Xuan Tianyan was so angry that smoke almost came out of his ears, it was a child, and they let him go because he said he wanted to go, was the driver an idiot? He clenched his fists, if not for the fact it was an emergency, he really wanted to teach these servants a lesson. But in the end, he could not afford the delay, pulling out his own horse, he hurried back to the capital together with one guard but saw signs of a fight on the way back.

Xuan Tianyan’s heart chilled. At this moment, he was not only worried about Xiao Bao, he was also worried about Feng Fendai. He did not know what happened on this route and did not know if Fendai and Xiao Bao were safe. He hated that he could not grow wings and fly back to the capital, helplessly, this journey was not short, when he entered the capital, it was almost the Zi hour.

(Translator’s note: Zi hour is 11pm to 1am in GMT+8)

The status of a prince was special and he could naturally enter the city gates. Once Xuan Tianyan returned to the capital, he immediately noticed that the atmosphere of the capital was not right, the abnormalities which were not easy for the normal citizens to sense could not escape his sights. In the middle of the night, why were there a few times more patrol officers than usual on the streets? In addition, the hidden guards who were prowling in the night, which faction did they come from?
