Ghostly Masked Prince Xiao: Pampering and Spoiling the Little Adorable Consort

(21) Splendid Palace, Lonely Life

After determining that this Divine Doctor wasn't a divine doctor, Chu Qing-Yan, with hand over her forehead, took her parents and left without looking back. In spite of that Divine Doctor Zhu's urging for her to stay.

Chu Qing-Yan 'hehe' laughed, it's no wonder that just now, when these servants knew she wanted to look for that Divine Doctor Zhu, their faces had strange smiles. So, it turned out that they had already known who this Divine Doctor Zhu was. It seemed that even though she and Chu family had laid their cards on the table, only Chu family was taking an indifferent 'wait and see' attitude towards her.

However, Chu Qing-Yan didn't lost her sense of hope. She never placed any hope that Chu family would be able to help her on this matter.

At this time, Daddy Chu was pulling Mother Chu, happily taking large strides to walk ahead. Not taking any notice of the meaningful glances from the people in the surroundings. And Mother Chu was solely preoccupied with Daddy Chu, so she didn't pay attention to the peculiar gazes from other people.

A dim feeling of pity bubbled up from Chu Qing-Yan's heart. The affection between her parents from the previous life was like now, still very deep. If Daddy's mind was able to be restored, then everything would be even more beautiful.

She also didn't know when she had to honor the commitment to that imperial edict bestowing the marriage. Whatever the case, she must make most of the time she had to search for a doctor that had ways to treat Daddy's illness. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to sleep in peace.

Everything that happened to Chu Qing-Yan on the road had all been passed to Xiao Xu's ear. His face was expressionless, and he lightly tapped the wall inside the horse carriage and asked the subordinate outside, "Nowadays, where is Divine Doctor Luo?"

"Reporting back to Master, ever since three months ago, after Divine Doctor Luo had left the imperial palace, no trace of him could be found. Subordinate, in these days, will dispatch people to closely search for his whereabouts." A deferential voice came from outside.

Xiao Xu gave a grunt of affirmation.

"Master, we'll be entering the imperial palace after an incense's length of time."

Having heard what was said, Xiao Xu's indifferent gaze landed on the swaying curtain of the carriage in front of him. The wind lifted it, and the familiar streets outside leapt into his eyes, while his thoughts slowly floated far away.

A year ah, a full year he hadn't set foot in this place.

A pity that even if he was far away, these people would never think to take a break from pondering plots.

A trace of ridicule and mockery seemed to flash through that pair of black-as-ink, glass-like eyes. Fast as a burst of wind, it was concealed in the ink-colored depths. When one carefully looked again, that pair of good-looking eyes was like a peaceful pond without a ripple, unable to discern any mood in them at all.

"Your Highness Prince Ying, the Queen Empress has already waited for you for several days. Yesterday, she even threw a tea set of blue and white porcelain. With great difficulty, you have come after she had hoped for so long. Today, you shouldn't act as tough as the times from before. If the Queen Empress is provoked once again into anger, then what's thrown down won't just be a tea set.

Xiao Xu had just stepped foot into Zhao Yang Palace, when an old imperial servant, looking joyous at the tip of her brows, approached to welcome him. However, her words clearly carried some disapproval.

Fire Spirit, seeing this imperial servant, his eyebrows jumped a bit. This imperial servant was called Luo Yun, a blessed one at the side of Empress Liang. She had been by her side since Empress Liang was born, and could be considered similar to Empress Liang's wet nurse. In Empress Liang's mind, her position wasn't low. Therefore, this Luo Yun was always doted on and trusted by Empress Ling. She was often very rude to his family's Highness, completely lacking the awareness of her status as a servant. If it was not for giving Empress Liang some face, according to his family's Highness's temper, don't know how many times she would have died already.
