The Divine Physician’s Overbearing Wife Chapter 1572 - Keep Waiting II

Chapter 1572: Keep Waiting II

Ah Nan trembled and bit her lip. “No, but… Today, Noble Consort Lin’s body smells of perfumed powder…”
“I only used a fragrant powder, not poison… Your Majesty, you have to do justice on my behalf.”
Noble Consort Lin kneeled in panic. Her beautiful face looked miserable and pitiful.
Qi Fang sighed and turned to the empress. “Empress, there must be a misunderstanding. Noble Consort Lin didn’t go near Qin’er. It was not her…”
The empress did not speak.
Qi Fang continued, “Don’t worry, I will investigate this matter thoroughly and…”
Before he could finish his sentences, the empress had already pulled Qi Qin’er’s hand and walked to the room, slamming it shut.
This matter was definitely related to Noble Consort Lin, but the emperor had made it clear that he would not do justice for the empress. Although she was the empress, she did not have much power and could only rely on the emperor’s favor to support her in the palace.
“Mother…” Qi Qin’er pulled the empress’s sleeve. “I’m fine. Don’t worry, Mother.”
She pursed her pink lips and thought for a moment before saying, “Noble Consort Lin is not a good person, and Third Prince is also a bully. He’s not like what people think of him.”
Sister Xiao Qing said that she had to learn to complain and not be bullied like before.
The empress pulled Qi Qin’er into her arms and smiled bitterly.
“I envy Maiden Feng. She has a husband, but she still can live freely and can rely on herself. Unlike us… Who rely on the emperor’s favor… Rely on a man…”
“Qin’er…” The empress bowed her head and looked at the little girl in her arms. “You can go to Maiden Feng later… She’s a great person.”
“Alright…” Qi Qin’er nodded. “Although I was unconscious, I could still hear everything. I also knew that it was Mother who fed me Divine Spirit Fluid. I became worse after Noble Consort Lin visited me, and then Sister Xiao Qing fed me some soup, which tasted better than Divine Spirit Fluid. It was so delicious and made me feel much better.”
The little girl had an innocent smile on her face with a pair of large, bright eyes.
The empress was stunned. “It looks like Maiden Feng knows how to make Divine Spirit Fluid… And it’s the as pure as the Divine Spirit Fluid from back then! Qin’er, you mustn’t let anyone know about this. If your father asks, you say that Maiden Feng is a skilled physician.”
“Why?”
Qi Qin’er asked blankly.
The empress sneered. “Isn’t the emperor going to protect Feng Lianyi? And he helps her in every way that he can… He didn’t even drive her away after she had made such a big mistake… I’d like to see how far he can go for Feng Lianyi! I’ll make him lose all his chances!”
Qi Qin’er was a little confused. Her mother was really angry this time…
“Alright, Mother. I’ll listen to you, and I won’t let anyone know about this.”
Qi Qin’er smiled as bright as sunshine, sweeping away the rage inside the empress’s heart…

As soon as Feng Ruqing returned to her manor, she immediately saw a man standing in the doorway.
The man was so dazzling under the setting sun.
“State Preceptor…”
Feng Ruqing smiled widely and pounced onto him.
Nan Xian stretched out his arms to catch the young girl who had jumped into his arms. He was cautious, afraid that he would hurt the child in her belly.
