Divine Doctor: Daughter of the First Wife Chapter 1097 - Unable To Get Rid Of An Obsession, It Will Haunt You

Chapter 1097 Unable To Get Rid Of An Obsession, It Will Haunt You

Just like what Feng Yuheng told Jian Er in the past, she did not have that close of a relationship with Lu Ping. Lu Ping helped her, she also helped Lu Ping, they do not owe each other anything. But more or less, she did understand Lu Ping’s character and personality, with the matter involving Ren Xifeng now, she was willing to objectively talk about Lu Ping’s situation to the Ren family.
Lu Ping’s story began from when she saved the First Madam of Yao family during the Mid-autumn banquet, until the maid Jian Er came to Yu Palace to ask for help a few days ago. The Ren family listened seriously and were also really surprised. When Feng Yuheng finished speaking, she heard the General’s wife speak: “I did not expect that the Lu family could give birth to that kind of daughter.”
Ren Xifeng never had a good impression of Lu Ping, but hearing such words from Feng Yuheng today, based on her trust towards Feng Yuheng, she changed her opinion towards Lu Ping, she even expressed her opinion from another angle. She said: “It’s really similar to the Feng family in the past! With that kind of Feng family, they were still able to give birth to good daughters like Ah-Heng and Xiangrong.”
Old General Ren listened to the words of his wife and daughter, and with the explanation from Feng Yuheng, half a beat later, he said: “Based on this, my son did not judge wrongly?”
He was asking Feng Yuheng, she answered the Old General with a smile: “I do not know if he judged correctly or not, I just told you about the Lu Ping I know. This is not considered as putting in a good word for Lu Ping, I was only not adding insult to the injury. As for what Brother Ren is thinking, he needs to talk about it himself after he wakes up. As for the Lu family…… I will still keep that same opinion as before, Lu Ping is not an issue, but the Lu family definitely has issues. If there is no Lu family behind Lu Ping, then, everything will be much easier.”
This was Feng Yuheng’s suggestion, anfd Old General Ren understood the meaning behind these words. If Ren Xitao insisted on marrying Lu Ping, it is not as if it could not be done, but there must be no Lu family behind Lu Ping. He made a decision in his heart. He would see the Emperor and the Sixth Prince tomorrow, that Left Prime Minister, he could not allow Lu Song to continue in this position.
But the power of him alone was clearly not enough, for an old General who retired from the battlefield and court, wanting to impeach the current Prime Minister was not an easy task. Therefore, he needed to ask Feng Yuheng for help, and it was the same as asking the Ninth Prince for help at the same time. Only with this would the chances of Lu Song getting removed increase.
Feng Yuheng did not object to this, she even told Old General Ren clearly: “The throne will be replaced by a new generation one day, before the old gives way to the new, it is about time to reorganise.”
They have thought of this well, punishing Lu Song, making Lu Song lose the position of Prime Minister, causing the Lu family to become commoners. With Lu Ping in this situation, only then would the Ren family dare to allow her to marry in.
However, the next day, Old General Ren had not even entered the imperial palace! But early in the morning, he heard that there was a rumour spreading around in the streets outside, his son Ren Xitao had taken advantage of the Eldest Miss from the Lu family. Some people even described it vividly, the Prime Minister carried his daughter who had been taken advantage of out from the General’s manor with a mournful expression on his face. The Lu Eldest Miss had messy clothes and her hair was all loose, it was really miserable and pitiful.
Old General Ren did not understand, how did it turn into Ren Xitao taking advantage of Lu Ping? Ren Xitao had clearly saved her! He called Ren Xifeng over and asked about this, but who knew Ren Xifeng actually said: “When we reached the cave, Lu Ping and Older Brother were holding each other, and…… Older Brother was shirtless.”
“What?” Old General Ren felt troubled, “You are saying that the rumours outside are real?”
“Not necessarily.” Ren Xifeng said, “Brother had serious injuries on his body, likely he was shirtless for the sake of applying medicine. Why not Father ask Brother personally, whether this is true or not. It is fine if it is false. If it is true, if the Lu family wants to coerce us based on this, it might not be good for Father to mention the impeachment. After all, it was Older Brother who made the mistake first, if we are stubborn in pulling Lu Song down, he might grow defensive and bite us in return, making it difficult for Older Brother to do anything.”
Ren Xifeng’s analysis was reasonable, Old General Ren flicked his sleeves in anger and turned back to where Ren Xitao was to get to the bottom of the matter.
Ren Xitao woke up the previous evening, but he was still very weak. At this moment, he heard his father come and ask this, and could not help but feel dazed, not understanding what was going on. It was Ren Xifeng who reminded him: “Currently there are rumours outside that you took advantage of Lu Ping, quickly tell us Older Brother, those few days when the both of you were in the cave, did you do anything which crossed the line?”
Ren Xitao blushed slightly and could not help but chide his younger sister: “You’re a woman who has not married yet, how can you just ask just about anything? You still do not know what kind of person your older brother is? Lu family’s Eldest Miss is innocent, how can I bully her? In addition, jumping down from the mountaintop, with my injuries, how can I still…… have the energy.”
Once Old General Ren heard this, he felt reassured, leaving again with the flick of his sleeves. He must enter the imperial palace to see the Emperor this time, even if he had to harass and make unreasonable demands, he must drag Lu Song down from his position as Left Prime Minister.
Of course, Feng Yuheng would not allow him to do the tormenting on his own. In the morning, she headed to the General’s manor as arranged to examine Ren Xitao, and Xuan Tianming had already entered the imperial palace to convince the Sixth Prince. The two of them even arranged to meet in the imperial palace to meet the Emperor together. For some matters, once there was an idea, it needed to be carried out immediately without dragging it out. Lu Song was the same as Feng Jinyuan in the past, he was greedy and did not feel satisfied with what he had. If this kind of person remained in the court, he would be an obstacle when the Sixth Prince rose to power in the future.
Feng Yuheng entered the palace at noon and together with Xuan Tianming, accompanied the Emperor for lunch. At the same time, at Chun Palace, Xiangrong received a letter, it was sent from Ji An Prefecture, the Fourth Prince contracted a serious disease and the local Hundred Herb Hall could not do anything, with his life in danger, they were requested for Feng Third Miss to go to Ji An Prefecture to see the Fourth Prince for one last time.
When Xiangrong saw the letter, her first reaction was: Xuan Tianyi was lying to her! What contracting a serious disease, he was definitely trying to trick her into going to Ji An Prefecture. After so much time had passed, she thought that person had already given up, but did not expect that he still could not let it go.
She was a kind child and would not criticise Xuan Tianyi because of this, she just felt more pressure on herself and felt more guilty towards Xuan Tianyi.
But in the end, she still thought this information was false, and was prepared to tell the person who sent the letter to go back and tell Xuan Tianyi, she could not return to Ji An Prefecture for the time being, and even if she was going to return in the future, the relationship between her and Xuan Tianyi was only that of master and disciple, that was all. But without saying such words, she saw the person kneel on the ground with a “thunk”, kowtowing to her, and this young man who was not even twenty years of age actually cried and begged her: “Have mercy, Third Miss, This Servant does not care what you think, and does not care if you will go back to see our Highness, This Servant is only asking you for one thing, you and Princess Yu are sisters, can you go back and help us ask Princess Yu if she can examine our Highness? We do not know what illness it is, the people from Hundred Herb Hall cannot cure it, they said that in this world, only Princess Ji An will be able to rescue our Highness. Begging Third Miss, please help our Highness and ask a favour from Princess! Even if Princess does not return, even giving medicine is good, This Servant will leave tonight.”
As he said this, Xiangrong was surprised when hearing it and could not help but ask: “Your Highness is really sick?”
That person was stunned, asking in return: “Could it be that Third Miss thinks that it’s fake? Oh my, it is not fake, he is really sick! He has been sick for some days, when This Servant travelled towards the capital, it has already been more than half a month. He has rashes on his body and his temperature will rise at night. Even though it gets better in the day, those rashes will occasionally itch or hurt, it is really a lot of suffering. We have asked for a physician from Hundred Herb Hall and uses all kinds of methods, trying a few times with various medicines, but the treatment yielded no results.”
“How can this be?” Xiangrong was anxious and stood up with a “duang”, walking back and forth in the main hall. The thought she had about Xuan Tianyi tricking her had already disappeared, she only thought that this matter was genuine and started to analyse what kind of illness Xuan Tianyi had. As she analysed, she did not make any progress, and feeling helpless, she could only tell the person who delivered the letter: “Do not be anxious, I heard that Princess Yu entered the imperial palace today and can only return to Yu Palace later in the day. I will head to Yu Palace at night and listen to what my Second Sister has to say about this.”
Xiangrong was really anxious and was unable to sit still the whole afternoon, unable to focus even when she was chatting with Imperial Concubine Yun. When evening came, without even eating dinner, she boarded the horse carriage and hurried over to Yu Palace.
When the Seventh Prince Xuan Tianhua returned, Imperial Concubine Yun told him about this, but he only said once sentence: “Let nature take its course, that is for the best.” Then he did not speak anymore, only staring at the sky outside the house, a faint smile on his face.
At Yu Palace, Xiangrong described Xuan Tianyi’s symptoms to Feng Yuheng. After Feng Yuheng heard it, a question mark surfaced in her heart, but a short while after this question mark appeared, it dissipated and she smiled in a troubled manner. She only thought that Xuan Tianyi had not given up yet! Being able to think of this idea and even teaching his own servant how to lie convincingly to Xiangrong, he really put in a lot of effort. But she did not know, even if he did trick Xiangrong back to Ji An Prefecture, how was he going to pull this girl’s heart away from the Seventh Prince?
She asked Xiangrong: “Do you want to see him?”
Xiangrong said: “I’m not seeing him but saving him. Getting such a serious illness, if he is not saved, if he dies, I will feel very bad and will never be able to forgive myself.”
“Why?” Feng Yuheng asked her: “He is sick and this was not caused by you, everyone has a possibility of contracting an illness, why do you blame yourself?”
Xiangrong shook her head: “He is in his prime, how can he suddenly get this kind of serious illness? I thought and thought about it and in the end, it is still related to me. I spoke too harshly to him before he left the capital, didn’t Second Sister say before, if a person’s heart is not peaceful, if their emotions are not good, it is easy for serious diseases to attack the body. On the contrary, if a person maintains a sunny disposition, the chances of contracting an illness will decrease a lot. Therefore I think this matter was caused by me, I hope that he can recover.”
“Then after he recovers?” She continued to ask: “You know the feelings he has for you, if you reject him again, such an incident might happen again. Saving him one time, can you save him forever?”
Xiangrong shook her head slightly, “I can’t manage the eternal, because he has an obsession and is unable to get rid of it, he is haunted. Second Sister, give me some medicine! I am only going to take a look and will return when he recovers, about His Highness the Seventh Prince……”
“I will go and tell him.” Feng Yuheng smiled and patted Xiangrong’s head, “Our Xiangrong is also a beautiful person, everyone who sees you likes you, having someone court you is a good thing, do not be unhappy. I will find medicine for you and ask Ban Zou to be your bodyguard. The journey is long, take care of yourself.”
