Divine Doctor: Daughter of the First Wife (Yang Shi Liu) 601

Second Young Miss of the Prime Minister’s Family?

“Hua’er.” On the road back to the capital from the East, a carriage rushed along. Imperial concubine Yun put Zi Rui to sleep, and the smile disappeared from her face, being replaced by the elegant look from when she had lived in the palace. it was ethereal and could not be described as human.

Xuan Tian Hua was flustered. It was as though this past half a year had been a grand dream. The imperial concubine Yun that had hid herself under his seat to follow him East, the imperial concubine Yun that drank and gambled with the men, the imperial concubine Yun that had could point at Bu Cong’s former subordinates and begin cursing loudly, the imperial concubine Yun that had strolled through every street and alley in Fu Zhou, even going into brothels, it seemed as though that imperial concubine Yun had completely disappeared. Now, he was facing the proud and slightly lazy imperial concubine Yun from Winter Moon Palace.

He tried to speak up; however, he could not call out “mother” in an intimate manner. Instead, it became: “Imperial concubine mother.”

Imperial concubine Yun had a bitter expression and pushed the curtain to the side. She peered through the window to look at the sights outside. After a while, she said: “I don’t want to go back to the palace. I pretended to be elegant formany years, and it is too exhausting. The one thing that I do miss is my former residence, along with my loved ones and friends from the residence. I even miss the black bears and magpies in the mountains. Unfortunately… I can’t go back.” She turned and looked at Xuan Tian Hua, “Hua’er, in the future, if you make some gains, imperial concubine mother will not ask you for anything else. I just beg that you find me some valley and build a residence for me there. Make it a natural and beautiful spot.”

Xuan Tian Hua choked up and averted his gaze. He did not reply for a long time.

Imperial concubine Yun repeatedly patted Zi Rui’s body and faintly said: “Back when you were younger than him, you were just as obedient. Youc ould quietly sleep on my lap while I sang songs from my time in the mountains. You were able to play songs when you were this young. Ming’er couldn’t do it. When he was young, he spent all of his time with a whip in his hand and whipping people. Back then, the imperial concubines of the inner palace suffered from being hit by him quite a bit.”

Xuan Tian Hua’s expression visibly changed. Memories began to flash through his mind, and his mind was pulled back a decade earlier.

Princes under the age of twelve did not need to live on their own and could still remain in the palace with their imperial concubine mothers. From a young age, he knew that imperial concubine Yun had adopted him. Imperial concubine Yun had once told him that she had just entered the imperial palace, and it was completely unfamiliar to her. She was also angry with the Emperor, neither wanting to see the other. She was truly bored out of her mind. This coincided with imperial concubine Zhao’s sudden death, thus she ran over and brought Xuan Tian Hua back. The previous Empress investigated; however, this was complained about to the Emperor by imperial concubine Yun. From that moment, he became her son.

At that time, he was two years of age, imperial concubine Yun’s relationship with the Emperor had improved, which resulted in old ninth. The two-year-old Xuan Tian Hua already had a great memory. He clearly remembered the night that imperial concubine Yun gave birth to his ninth brother. At that time, one of the imperial concubines had sent a servant to deliver a bowl of medicine. Imperial concubine Yun foolishly drank it and nearly died from complications. Nobody knew about this; however, he remembered this. After a few more years, he had some of his own power. He then sought out a pretext to have that imperial concubine’s maternal family punished. Following the extermination of the maternal family, that imperial concubine ended up living and dying on her own in the cold palace.
