The Doctress with Healing Hands: Your Highness, Please Behave Yourself Chapter 36

Chapter 36


Abandoned Chess Piece
Being restrained in bed, Bai Qingqing saw the whole process this man bullied her son in a clumsy way, which made her annoyed .
“You aren’t afraid of being punished by God because you bullied the emperor for no reason?”
“I’m his father . It’s a natural part that fathers bully sons . So I did it reasonably and legally and won’t get punished . ”
“Zhao Yuchen, why haven’t I found you have the potential to be a scoundrel before!”
“You’ll find something more with a careful look . Besides that, I have yet another addiction that be a wolf and put you, a delicious little lamb, on the table and enjoy it . ”
“But I don’t wanna be your poor little lamb . ”
Zhao Yuchen gave a grin to show he would make it, and said with an evil look in his eyes, “Now it’s too late . Just be a lamb and wait to get into my stomach . ”
“Go to hell!”
Two days later, Lord Fengyang, Zhao Yuting who had left the capital city for six years, stately appeared in the royal palace of the Great Yan Kingdom with the reason of worshiping ancestors .
He couldn’t wait to remind Zhao Yuchen of his bad memory the moment he arrived .
“I heard brother went to Putuo Temple to keep your promise before long but was chased to kill by unknown assassins on your way back .
Nowadays, the world is peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment . But it’s incredible that my brother who had left from the place of emperor should be born grudges by foes instead of live a stable life .
I wonder who you have offended on earth that they did that to you . ”
Sitting and enjoying tea, Zhao Yuchen didn’t show any anger with malicious provocation of Zhao Yuting, but said with a smile of treachery, “Just a cowardly turtle who dares not show his head in the front . I clearly know who he is . ”
He took a sip of tea casually while talking, “Someone is doomed to my defeated opponent no matter in the past or now . ”
Giving a fake smile, Zhao Yuting answered, “Brother, you must know the truth that underestimating enemies is a great taboo for soldiers . ”
Zhao Yuchen said, “There are many kinds of foes in the world, some are gentlemen who deserve respect, while some are like mice in the gutter that are abhorrent and hateful but at the same time they unavoidably make others have compassion . Do you know why I have compassion for the guy?”
Before Zhao Yuting answered, he continued, “Because this mouse hidden behind for fear of his cover being blown, he went so far that he even refused to let go of a woman who has absolutely no power to fight .
You must know Liu Xiangyi, a woman who colluded with the mouse secretly, revealed the news that I had gone to Putuo Temple to keep promise .
But after what she had done was discovered, the mouse had no courage to come out and save her, and even seeing her corpse being hung on the gate for days, he didn’t show any sympathy . ”
Zhao Yuting answered, “Maybe Liu Xiangyi is merely an abandoned chess piece of no use value . ”
“Every piece on the chessboard has its use value . I can only say that this man is short-sighted and doomed to fail to achieve anything because it is so easy for him to abandon a piece . ” Zhao Yuchen said .
Though remaining a serene smile, the malicious and insidious gaze of Zhao Yuting looked daunting .
“Brother, it seems you use such emotional words as mouse in the gutter and short-sighted to vent deep resentment and discontent . ”
“No, you are wrong . Actually I’m grateful to the assassination the mouse made . As is said misfortune tests the sincerity of a relationship, no way could I meet the right person who is willing to spend a lifetime with me without what he did . ”
Zhao Yuting highly raised his eyebrows .
Zhao Yuchen answered his confusion soon, “I would release an official announcement to the world after ancestor worship ceremony that I would marry her in the palace as Empress Dowager . ”
Zhao Yuting changed countenance and couldn’t help saying, “I thought there was only a woman in your heart and that was Empress Xiaolie, Su Ruoqing, who had passed away six years ago . ”
“I still have only Ruoqing in my heart . ”
“Then what does Bai Qingqing mean to you?”
“The Ninth, it seems none of your business . ”
“I just want to speak out for Ruoqing . Don’t forget you hounded her to death . ”
Zhao Yuchen turned solemn, “I would make up for what I did myself . As for those mistakes put on me wrongly by other people, I would make efforts to let them pay a high price . ”
“Then I’ll wait to see what you do to fight your foe . ”
“Just wait and see!”
“I will!”
“Did Huijing in the Putuo Temple really say that to The Seventh?” Zhao Yuting asked to his private subordinate .
“The young Buddhist monk around Master Huijing had been bought in a high price . He told me the whole process that Lord Seventh and Bai Qingqing met with Huijing and some trends in Lord Seventh and Master Huijing’s contact these years . ”
In a hidden house situated in the northwest of the capital city, Zhao Yuting looked clouded after hearing the report of his subordinate .
He had heard that the host Buddhist Abbot in Putuo Temple was a brilliant monk who was capable of predicting providence and people’s destiny, as well as understanding thoroughly mortal world and nether world .
That year Suo Ruoqing was suspected by the Seventh that she had an illicit sexual relation with himself, and then in great anger, she committed suicide to prove her innocence . It made The Seventh felt so regretful and sorrowful that his eyes turned blind for six years .
Until Bai Qingqing showed up, life of the Seventh completely changed . Not only did he recover his sight, but his character became different .
He stopped being sentimentally attached to Su Ruoqing, showed his affection with Bai Qingqing to the public and even planned to marry her in the palace as Empress Dowager of the Great Yang Kingdom .
Did he really forget his wife Su Ruoqing?
No, that was not true . He himself said he would never change his love for Ruoqing .
That meant on no account would the Seventh marry others for no reason .
Thinking of this, Zhao Yuting’s thoughts got confused . He slowly closed his eyes and recalled the scene that the first time he hid himself in the entrance of the palace, saw the Seventh get on with Bai Qingqing .
At that time, the Seventh who kept low-profile would use a team of imperial bodyguards to capture a country girl . What surprised him more was that the Seventh had his eye on the girl fondly and passionately .
The Seventh showed his feelings in the bottom of his heart inadvertently, which made Zhao Yuting interested in the unknown Bai Qingqing .
He would like to see what Bai Qingqing, the country girl, meant to the Seventh on earth .
Therefore, he secretly colluded with Liu Xiangyi who host the harem and asked her to spy on the Seventh and Bai Qingqing’s movement .
But unfortunately, Liu Xiangyi was such an idiot who couldn't do anything right because not only did she fail to cover herself well, but also she lost her life .
As for the assassination, he felt regretful about failing to kill the Seventh .
The only outcome from it was that he managed to hijack Bai Qingqing and did find some clues after getting along with her for days .
For instance, she clearly knew he was accustomed to using left hand the first time they met .
Additionally, her daily habits, as well as her expression and tone of speaking were all familiar to him .
‘Love is to sustain as fate is written, that’s when reunion is to ensue . ’
The short sentence was as if virtually telling something mysterious .
Combing with the news his subordinate reported, Zhao Yuting who tended to be scrupulous had got to make a bold assumption .
The assumption was that there must be a hidden relationship between Su Ruoqing and Bai Qingqing .
When he thought of this, he abruptly opened eyes and greatly shocked at it .
Though an atheism he was, a series of unexplained facts made him reinforce the assumption .
If Su Ruoqing and Bai Qingqing were the same person, it would be reasonable for the Seventh to eagerly marry Bai Qingqing .
“Cheng Kun!”
He abruptly called his private subordinate and whispered some words with a grim face .
Cheng Kun took orders, turned around and left at a fast pace .
When he reached the door, Zhao Yuting worriedly stopped him and said in a cold voice, “And remember, failure is not an option for this mission . ”
