Divine Doctor: Daughter of the First Wife-Chapter 1057 - Spying The Truth

Chapter 1057 Spying The Truth

Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui’s question amused Feng Yuheng, it tickled her so much that she could not even sit up straight, angering Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui such that she slammed the table and spoke angrily: “Impetuous! You are only a Prince’s wife, yet you dare to act so wantonly in front of This One?”

When Feng Yuheng finally stopped laughing, she asked Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui a question in return: “So what if I am acting wantonly? Your Highness Imperial Concubine Gui, is there still a need to be so secretive between the two of us? We have already clashed a few times, have you won before?”

“This One has won now!” Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui was very proud of this, “Da Shun still has a ruler, and would not overlook an insignificant girl like you doing anything you want. In the past, you had the Ninth Prince as your back and This One was not your match and was forced to retreat many times. But it is different now, This One is an Imperial Concubine Gui, the apple of the Emperor’s eye, Feng Yuheng, you no longer have the right to clash with This One, because, as long as This One says something, the Emperor can immediately order your execution.”

“Is that so?” Feng Yuheng covered her mouth and laughed again, “Then do you believe, if I die, you or the Eighth Prince, neither of you will continue living. Moreover, I will not die, don’t worry, I will live longer than all of you.”

“Feng Yuheng!” Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui was so angry that she turned green, “Who gave you the courage to act so brazenly?”

“I gave it to myself.” She told Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui seriously: “A thing like courage should not be from borrowing the power of others, but grown by oneself, it was won by one’s own efforts. Today, I dared to sit here and talk with you just like this, and I am confident I can leave this palace safely. If you do not believe me, you can try it, just like how you tested me using a bowl of tea which contained Gu poison, you can try how you will fare against me.”

She clearly pointed out the situation with one sentence, causing Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui’s expression to change suddenly, and she even stuttered: “What, what, what did you, say?”

“Did Your Highness not understand what I said? I said, do not think that many things are undetectable. In reality, the people who should know already have a rough idea. Also, that question you asked me just now, was the Eighth Prince’s illness caused by me? Then let me ask you, were you the one to implant the Gu in Father Emperor? Would you admit it? If you won’t admit, then there is no need to speak to me with such an immature question, what does Your Highness think?”

Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui did not with to talk to Feng Yuheng anymore, she did not even want to take another look at Feng Yuheng. Right now, Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui’s complexion was a little pale and her heart was in a panic, she wanted to chase Feng Yuheng away quickly, she needed to discuss with the Gu Master about this. If things continued like this, it would be bad! Moreover, Feng Yuheng was alright after drinking the tea? She was not afraid of Gu? Also, how did she know about Gu?”

Countless questions swirled around in Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui’s mind, she quickly dismissed Feng Yuheng and even shouted: “This One does not want your diagnosis and treatment, even if This One cannot conceive, This One does not want your examination. Leave, leave quickly!”

Feng Yuheng stood up unhurriedly and “drank” the remaining half bowl of tea in front of Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui. This was when she left Cun Shan Palace under the shocked gaze of the other party. It was just that before leaving, she happened to see the other party’s eyes glance inside the bedroom.

There was something fishy in the bedroom, at this moment, Feng Yuheng firmly believed this.

Leaving Cun Shan Palace, she brought Wang Chuan and walked briskly, then stopped in a quiet side path, she told Wang Chuan: “Go ahead first, if someone asks why you came out alone when you’re leaving the palace, tell them that I went to Winter Moon Palace to give Imperial Concubine Yun my greetings for the New Year.”

Once Wang Chuan heard her say this, she became tense, “Young Miss, are you going to act alone? You’re going to continue staying in the palace?”

“Yeah.” Feng Yuheng nodded, and reassured as the same time: “Don’t be anxious, it will be fine, this is not the first time I have entered the imperial palace alone, Xuan Tianming is not worried, what are you worried about? For this rundown place, though it is not considered walking on flat ground, it is similar. Either way, leave the palace first and don’t ask any more. The matter I have to handle is urgent and I do not have the leeway to explain to you in detail. Return quickly! I will be able to return to the palace by noon at the latest.”

Wang Chuan could never beat Feng Yuheng in stubbornness. Thinking about it, Feng Yuheng did frequently enter the palace on her own already, so she was a little more reassured. After giving some more advice, she had no other choice but to leave first.

When Wang Chuan was far away, Feng Yuheng surveyed her surroundings and when she confirmed that there was no one around, she immediately entered her Space.

The tea she stolen from Cun Shan Palace was still on the counter in her Space, but she did not have the leisure to research that. Making use of the convenience of moving around using her Space, she returned to the main hall of Cun Shan Palace.

This time, her goal was Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui’s bedroom. She had checked it in the past but did not find anything. It was different this time, she already saw panic in Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui’s anxious and worried gaze, and that panic appeared to require something or someone in the bedroom to ease it. At this hour, the Emperor was not around, she believed that as long as she returned alone, she could definitely find out what was suspicious in Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui’s bedroom.

Harbouring such feelings, Feng Yuheng revisited the location, and just as she appeared in the bedroom, she heard the faint sound of a heavy object being moved in a corner. She turned in the direction of the sound and was little slow, seeing only a corner, there seemed to be a wall that moved which closed quickly. The bedroom instantly became quiet, if not for the fact that she was confident in her instincts and her reaction speed, she would have thought that the sound just now was an illusion and would have thought the same for the moving wall.

But Feng Yuheng did not think that way, in that instant, she could confirm that what she wanted to find, what secrets she wanted to see, would be behind that wall. As long as she walked in, she could unravel all the mysteries.

She breathed in deeply, there were no servants on standby in this bedroom, and even Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui’s closest servant Yue Xiu was dismissed and could only stand guard outside. This meant that this bedroom was a forbidden area, or in other words, when that wall moved, this area was forbidden.

She did not wait any longer and quickly moved in front of that wall. Pressing the wall a few times, she roughly confirmed the thickness of this wall. Though it was not that accurate, it did not differ that greatly, at least if she used her Space, she could easily enter the other side of the wall.

Feng Yuheng disappeared, counting her steps in the Space, not daring to confirm where she would appear when she appeared on the other side of the wall. If she appeared right in front of Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui, things would be so awkward.

She counted five steps forward and shifted a few steps to the right. Measuring the width of the wall space from outside, she pondered that if she appeared again, she should be located next to the wall. With this, she would not be standing directly in the center, in front of people.

It was a gamble either way, she breathed in deeply and with a mental thought, she exited her Space with a flash, but she completely did not expect that with this appearance, she would stand in water.

Feng Yuheng was stunned, and showed an aghast expression, oh gosh, was this actually a bathroom?

But luckily it was a bathroom, there was too much steam floating around, making the range of visibility very small. In addition, she was very careful when moving, moving and stopping, so, even if she was already aware that two people were bathing together at a diagonal distance of around five steps away from her, she was not detected.

This was the first time she experienced falling in water directly when she came out from her space, Feng Yuheng felt it was disgusting, because this was not just water, this was bathwater, other people’s bathwater, and there was a man and woman bathing together in the water.

The good thing was those two were only teasing each other and did not do anything overly vigorous, the reason why they stopped at teasing each other was because the female lead Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui was currently panicking and had too many questions to ask that man.

Firstly, the first question was: “Why was your bowl of Gu tea useless against Feng Yuheng?”

That man shook his head: “It’s impossible, anyone, even people from the Gu clan, cannot escape from my Gu tea, unless she did not drink it at all.”

“She drank it!” Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui said with certainty, “I saw her drink it with my own eyes, she drank it twice, the first time half a bowl, finishing it the second time. But until she left the palace gates of Cun Shan Palace, there were no signs of her taking ill.”

“How can this be?” That man’s voice was filled with doubt. This was the first time he failed implanting a Gu, and he had failed in such a ridiculous way. Even after thinking for a long time, he could not understand.

And at this moment, Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui threw out a second question, she asked the other party: “That girl already talked about the old man being inflicted with Gu, could it be that she had seen through all our plans?”

That person told Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui: “What can she do even if she saw through it? I implanted a death heart Gu in him, there is no removing it unless I die. But if I die, the old Emperor will naturally die as well, so, even if they know, it will not affect me. Right now, the life of the old Emperor is in our hands, as long as the old Emperor is obedient, what can the girl do even if she could see through everything? Even if she said it out, who would believe her? Even if someone believes it, we have a way to have the old Emperor execute everyone who believes it.”

Having said this much, Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui breathed a sigh of relief. The two of them said nothing more and started to have their fun in the water. Feng Yuheng disappeared into her Space and did not have time to change out her wet clothes. Her mind kept replaying the phrase “Death Heart Gu”, feeling a chill down her spine.

That was the result she was most afraid of, a death heart Gu meant that there was no dispelling it, unless the person who raised the Gu died. However, the most lethal thing was, the death of the person who raised the Gu did not mean the dispelling of the Gu but would bring about the death of the person who was implanted with the Gu. This was too scary, with the implant of this death heart Gu, it was just like what that person said, what could she do? Unless she was able to hand over the Emperor’s life, but, could she do that?

Based on her heart, Feng Yuheng was still attached to the Emperor. The Emperor was a good person before being implanted with the Gu, protecting her from the beginning to the end, and because the old Emperor was protecting her from above, she was able to rise up when she came to this world. Right now, seeing the old Emperor being controlled, she felt an indescribable ache, especially when she saw Imperial Concubine Yun becoming thinner by the day in Chun Palace, she felt even more anxious.

Now she heard it was a death heart Gu, this was the first time in her life that Feng Yuheng felt very helpless, the first time she encountered a problem with no solution. When the medical techniques beyond this era encountered Gu techniques, she was really going crazy with helplessness.

Now she knew who was the person raising the Gu, it appeared that there was no reason for Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui or the Eighth Prince to live. However, she did not wish to act directly and kill those two now, because she was letting them off too easily. Currently, the lower half of the Eight Prince’s body was poisoned, she looked forward to seeing that old Eighth rot to death. As for Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui, she wanted to leave this person to the Emperor one day, letting him deal with her himself. But she did not know if the Emperor still had a chance to do so……
