Shen Yi Di Nu Divine Doctor: Daughter of the First Wife (神医嫡女) [Book 2]

The Emperor's Imperial Instructions

Qing Shuang told Xuan Tian Ye: "This servant spent quite a long time at the county princess' manor, and I entered the second young miss' room a few times; however, I have never seen the phoenix hairpin. It was only today at the Refined Deity Building that I saw her take it out. This servant is wondering, could it be that the hairpin is not even kept on the second young miss, instead it is his Highness Prince Yu who keeps it?"

This was something Xuan Tian Ye had considered before, but it still could not explain how Qing Shuang had failed today. Moreover.... "A Nu." He called Qing Shuang's original name, "How many years have you followed this prince?"

Qing Shuang's body trembled and quickly said: "This servant was saved by your Highness the year I was four. Up to now, it has been twelve years."

"Twelve years." Xuan Tian Ye looked at her, as a cruel light flitted through his eyes, "Twelve years of feelings could not compare with a pair of earrings?"

"Master!" Qing Shuang was extremely shocked, as she feared this topic this most; however, this was something he had truly taken to heart: "This servant truly does not know the eldest prince. I have not even met him before!"

Unfortunately, Xuan Tian Ye had already taken Feng Yu Heng's words to heart. Moreover, Qing Shuang being unable to present the phoenix hairpin, which he had personally seen be placed into the sleeve pocket. All the signs told him that this girl named A Nu had already betrayed him.

"Guards!" Xuan Tian Ye angrily shouted, and an imperial guard immediately entered: "Lock her up. It will be fine so long as she does not die." Throwing out these words, he turned and left.

Qing Shuang watched as Xuan Tian Ye left without a trace of feeling. Even though she was still kneeling and only wearing a belly band, a guard still went up and began dragging her. She loudly shouted: "Master!" But the other side did not even look back.

The next day, a large piece of news spread around the capital about how the future Princess Yu lost the phoenix hairpin personally awarded by the Emperor!

When this news reached the Feng manor, the matriarch was drinking tea. Upon hearing this news from the servant, the tea got caught in her throat, causing her to nearly choke herself to death.

"Where is A-Heng?" The matriarch grabbed granny Zhao and anxiously said: "Quick, quickly send someone to call A-Heng over!"

Granny Zhao complied and quickly informed a servant to go over to Tong Sheng pavilion. The matriarch continued: "What is the phoenix hairpin? How could she lose such a thing? Say, is this news real or fake?"

Granny Zhao was also in a state of shock. When she returned from the Refined Deity Building the night before, everything was still fine. Could it be that something happened after she left?

"Elder madam." She helplessly said: "Regardless of whether it's true or false, these sorts of rumors are not good to the second young miss!"

"It's not just not good for her!" The matriarch could not stand it, "Most important is our Feng family. Originally, Jin Yuan had been appreciated by the Emperor and was allowed to go North, but now that he is sharing the burden of relieving the disaster, something like this happened at home. Tell me, is this...."

The matriarch was so panicked that she did not know what she should say. She wanted to say that Feng Yu Heng did not make enough of a good showing and caused too much trouble, but she was unable to say it. After all, she had put in great effort to take care of her back injury. Now, it was almost completely healed. So if she said anything bad about her behind her back, she would always feel a little as though she were abandoning her benefactor.
