Shen Yi Di Nu Divine Doctor: Daughter of the First Wife [Book 3]

Deceived at First

Before imperial concubine Yun went to Heavenly Hall, she was prepared to be deceived. She knew that Xuan Tian Ming and Feng Yu Heng had entered the palace today. If the Emperor could get hurt under their watch, there was no need for them to continue being together.

But in the end, this was an assassination attempt by Qian Zhou. It was far more serious than the usual cheap tricks that the Emperor employed. Imperial concubine Yun pondered long and hard. She had to go to Heavenly Hall. Even if it was not for herself, it would be for her son.

Of course, she had no intention of actually going in to see the Emperor. She was thinking that she would, at most, stand outside and say a few words through the door. Who knew that before she even got close to the hall, she heard the Emperor say that sort of thing. In anger, she turned around and left.

The palace maids of Winter Moon Palace had become accustomed to imperial concubine Yun not meeting the Emperor, and they were accustomed to imperial concubine Yun calling the Emperor that old man. Hearing her ask this, they quickly replied: "Imperial concubine is overthinking it. No matter who his Majesty curses, he would not curse imperial concubine."

Imperial concubine Yun rolled her eyes slightly, "Hmph, just being thought of by him is also considered being cursed."

Just now, the Emperor's shouts had been very loud, and everyone in Winter Moon Palace could hear them. This palace maid pitied the Emperor and tried to say a few words of advice: "How about imperial concubine sees his Majesty. It's already been so many years. It's quite pitiful."

"Pitiful? Him?" Imperial concubine Yun's eyes became angry, "He lied to me in the beginning. He locked me up in this cage. What would I see that sort of person for? Don't bring this subject up again."

The palace maid retracted her neck in fear and fell silent.

Imperial concubine Yun, however, asked: "Hua'er left the province to handle some business. Is he about to return?"

The palace maid replied: "His Highness the seventh prince has been away from the capital for almost two months. Thinking about it, it should be soon."

"Un." Imperial concubine Yun nodded then said to her: "Go to Heavenly Hall and tell Ming'er and A-Heng not to only focus on catching people. It's about time to come and eat something. What time is it already? If they don't eat soon, they will starve."

At this time, Xuan Tian Ming and Feng Yu Heng were discussing something related to Ru Jia. Xuan Tian Ming said: "She should be looking for a way to get out of the palace. There are definitely some people from Qian Zhou in hiding. Aside from the attendants that came to the capital with the imperial relative, there should be quite a few mixed in with the citizens."

Feng Yu Heng pondered a little then said: "Previously, wasn't there someone that said that Feng Kun used his identity as a child to visit Ru Jia a few times? Thinking about it, he must have said a few things to Ru Jia. The palace took all kinds of precautions, but they never expected that a person that did not look to be older than four-years-old would actually be a dwarf with an adult's mind. Guess, do you think that she has gotten out of the palace?"

At this time, the officials had already left the palace. Only Feng Jin Yuan remained in the hall. He said that in order to avoid suspicion and express his position, he would remain until Kang Yi was caught and brought into the palace. Xuan Tian Ming did not say anything and left him standing there. As for the conversation between the two, they naturally entered his ears.

When Feng Yu Heng spoke, she made sure to glance at her father. Pretending to continue the discussion, she asked: "Father, you should also guess."

Feng Jin Yuan lowered his head and did not speak.
