Divine Doctor: Daughter of the First Wife-Chapter 1060 - Ah, Imperial Concubine Yun!

Chapter 1060 Ah, Imperial Concubine Yun!

The Emperor felt that the Empress had a deeper meaning behind her words, but he did not ask anymore, because the proud and distant expression on the Empress’ face made him feel a little angry. Though he had forgotten a lot, he still remembered the true purpose for keeping this woman in the Empress seat. Unfortunately, the “happy working partner” relationship was completely forgotten.

The Emperor waved behind him and turned around to walk a few steps, indicating that the two of them leave. Zhang Yuan followed behind the Empress and walked away quietly, but as the footsteps were heard, the Emperor turned around the watched the two of them leave, feeling unhappy. “All of you don’t follow Us, We wish to talk a walk alone.” He ordered the palace staff following behind him. Giving this order with a cold expression, no one dared to disobey.

Finally, the Emperor was free of being followed by that group of people and relaxed completely, walking on the roads in the palace, his steps also quickened a lot.

It seemed like it had been a long time since he felt like this, he felt that he had been suppressed for much too long. Even if Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui was by his side, he would still feel oppressed occasionally. That feeling of oppression was from his heart and there was no source.

As he walked, he would occasionally meet the palace staff walking around and waved his hand to dismiss them. When he finally stopped walking and looked up, he discovered that he was standing in front of a very large and imposing palace courtyard gate. He jolted slightly, staring at this palace courtyard for a long time, not looking away.

“Winter Moon Palace?” The horizontal board in front of the palace courtyard gate had these three large words written it, the Emperor read it out under his breath and his heart immediately underwent a monstrous change. That headache flared up again and together with it, the happenings of the past which were familiar yet foreign flashed through his head like he was watching an opera.

Those snippets were scattered but were vivid, he remembered him and Zhang Yuan standing in front of this gate, singing mountain songs; he remembered coming in front of this large gate countless times, and it seemed like the people inside did not allow him in; he remembered this palace courtyard had a major fire, after that he personally supervised the reconstruction and even obtained silver from a number of ministers; he also remembered that he seemed to be able to enter this palace courtyard gate after that and was very close to a woman inside, eating all three meals together but not staying overnight. That woman was very very beautiful and had an indescribable aura of a deity, she completely could not be compared with a regular woman like Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui.

When this thought came, the Emperor was stunned again, why did he describe Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui as a regular woman? Wasn’t that his most favoured Imperial Concubine Gui? What was wrong with him?

Just as he was thinking deeply and not understanding anything, a palace staff walked by on the side road, the Emperor gestured and asked him to approach. That Eunuch wanted to kneel but the Emperor stopped him, only asking: “Tell Us, the person living in this Winter Moon Palace, who is it?”

That Eunuch was clearly stunned, then he said in a terrified tone: “It’s Her Highness Imperial Concubine Yun!” Then he lifted his head to look at the Emperor in confusion, his gaze filled with suspicion.

The Emperor also detected this and asked: “What? We do not remember who is staying in this palace courtyard, that’s very strange?”

The palace staff nodded and wanted to say something, yet he did not dare, only looking down and staying where he was, completely silent.

“You can leave!” The Emperor did not bother asking anymore, he clearly knew what was wrong with him, his mind had forgotten many things, he knew that clearly. It was just that sometimes those things appeared very vividly yet did not sustain or long and became vague again. Thinking about it, the person staying in this palace courtyard must have been gradually forgotten by him due to this problem!

The Eunuch lowered his head and left, and after walking a long distance away, he still looked back and saw the Emperor standing there in a daze, and he could not help but feel some sadness in his heart.

With regards to the huge change in the Emperor’s temperament, it was considered an obscure issue in the imperial palace, but the people were aware of a certain extent. He was just a lowly Eunuch who was serving a Jie Yu and it was normally difficult for him the meet the Emperor. Passing by this place today, it was because he was helping Her Highness Jie Yu to pluck a few plums in the garden. But who did not know about what was going on between the Emperor and Her Highness Imperial Concubine Yun! This was a little cruel to the concubines and noble ladies in the imperial palace, but that was an anecdote frequently spoke about in Da Shun, the Emperor did not love his harem and only loved Imperial Concubine Yun who was not willing to see him for twenty years. Because of this, the Emperor was already given the label of being stupidly in love. But the Emperor did not even remember Imperial Concubine Yun now, this Eunuch sighed lightly, and only said that things would never be constant, who knew that Imperial Concubine Yun would end up like this today?

“Ah, Imperial Concubine Yun!” The Emperor recalled those snippets which flashed through his brain and thought of the beautiful woman which had some deity-like aura, the edges of his mouth raising to show a smile. He walked a few steps towards the palace gate and raised his head to knock on the door. As he knocked, he wondered, why was the palace gate shut so lightly during the day?

After knocking for a while, the palace gate was finally opened by someone at a pace which was not too fast or too slow. The one who came out to open the door was a Head Palace maid, she was a little surprised to see him but was not that nervous. She only bowed respectfully, then said: “Good day, Your Majesty, Her Highness Imperial Concubine Yun is not receiving guests, please go back, Your Majesty!”

“Hm?” The Emperor was confused hearing this, “Having Us return? Isn’t this where Imperial Concubine Yun lives? We are the Emperor and have not heard anything about the concubines chasing the Emperor outside. In this imperial palace, is there any place which We still cannot enter?” He reached out to push the door as he spoke, intending to step inside.

But the Head Palace maid knelt down immediately and blocked his way, say calmly: “If Your Majesty insists on entering, This Servant cannot stop you. But This Servant also received the order of Her Highness Imperial Concubine Yun not receiving guests, especially not Your Majesty. Therefore, if Your Majesty wishes to force your way in, then This Servant can only die here. Your Majesty, please step over This Servant’s body!”

“What did you say?” The Emperor was shocked, he really did not expect that there was this kind of servant in this imperial palace, the Winter Moon Palace was really putting itself in such a high position! He wanted to lose his temper, but before that fire could reach the top of his head, the waves of headache begin. The Emperor held one side of his head and held the large gate of the palace courtyard with his other hand, his expression showing great pain.

Seeing this, the kneeling palace maid quickly asked: “Is Your Majesty alright? Do you need This Servant to send someone to fetch an imperial physician?” After saying this, she looked behind him and noticed that there was no palace staff following him and could not help but think it was strange.

For the Emperor to come to Winter Moon Palace alone, it was nothing new. In the past, when Imperial Concubine Yun did not meet him, he would frequently come over here alone to cause a ruckus. It did not matter if it was daytime or nighttime, he was especially stubborn. But the current situation was different from the past, the Emperor was being managed by Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui, how could he still come to Winter Moon Palace alone? And based on what he said just now, he seemed to feel that the Winter Moon Palace’s rules were strange, could it be, that the Emperor truly forgotten everything from the past? Including Imperial Concubine Yun?

“There is no need to summon an imperial physician, We will be alright in a while.” The Emperor leaned on the palace gate, trying this best not to think about anything related to this Winter Moon Palace and Imperial Concubine Yun, trying this best to clear out that beautiful woman from his memories, then did his best to think about Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui who he loved the most now…… finally, the headache started to ease. He let out a long breath and backed up two steps, telling that palace maid: “Since Imperial Concubine Yun insists on not meeting, then We will not enter, close the gate!”

After he said this, the palace maid from Winter Moon Palace did not hold back at all, close the courtyard gate directly and bolted it from inside.

The Emperor showed a troubled smile, only thinking why this Winter Moon Palace guarded against him as if they were guarding against a thief? Not only did they close the gate in daytime, they even bolted it? What were they doing?

However, he was not in the mood to continue guessing, afraid that thinking too much would trigger a headache. But thinking about it, he was puzzled, why was that headache only curable by Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui? Just now he thought about Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui and was soothed, that was why his headache eased, why was that? Could it be that Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui was a medicine? It did not even need to be eaten, he could recover just by thinking of her?

For the first time, the old Emperor felt something was queer about this. Towards Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui, this was also the first time he grew wary and even thought of something bold: “If things continued like this, it was the same as him being addicted to Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui. He was the Emperor! How could he be addicted to something or someone? This won’t do, this won’t do, he needed to think of something to get rid of this addiction known as Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui.

On this end, there was some loosening in the Emperor’s mental state, while in the Sheng Palace, faced with Xuan Tianmo whose illness had flared up, Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui was so frightened that she turned pale.

Xuan Tianmo’s itching symptoms flared up every day, and it got worse every single time. Since two days ago, the anti-itching medicine given by the imperial physician no longer had any effect. He ordered his people to buy various anti-itching medicines from outside and they even went to Hundred Herb Hall to buy medicine. Unfortunately, the medicines brought back could not stop his itch, to the point that he could not bear with it anymore and had to go scratch it. And with this scratching, the area was scratched until blood and flesh mixed together, if one did not look closely, his ‘son’ could not even be seen, it was a terrifying sight.

When Imperial Concubine arrived, Xuan Tianmo was scratching the itch. She saw her own son’s body and hand covered in blood and screamed in fright.

This scream caused Xuan Tianmo to return to his senses. Turning and seeing Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui, he shouted: “Imperial Concubine Mother! Did you investigate? Who was the one who harmed me?”

Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui was so frightened that she almost lost her soul, only coming back to her senses with Xuan Tianmo’s shout, yet she shook her head in terror: “I checked but did not find anything. I also asked the place in the imperial palace which raised the private mentors, it was not done by them.”

“Then who else can it be?” Xuan Tianmo slammed his hand on the bedframe, his lower body itched so much that he laughed and cried, his hand scratching continuously. Once he used some force, he pulled off some flesh. But he did not feel the pain at all, only caring about the itch, this feeling was worse than death.

Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui lost all hope as well, she looked at the area of Xuan Tianmo’s lower body, thinking directly: “It’s finished! It’s all finished!” Having that injury, it would not recover at all, with that part being useless and Xuan Tianmo not having a son, even if he sat on the throne, it was a waste. But it was not absolute, at that time, they could just adopt a few children, it was not that hard, she was just afraid that under the torture of the pain, Xuan Tianmo might not even be able to keep his life. If Xuan Tianmo died, what hopes did she have?

Thinking about it, she pressed down on her lower abdomen subconsciously. Her stomach was also disappointment, there were no signs at all. Whether it was the Emperor’s seed, or that Gu Master’s seed, she was not that picky now, she just wanted her stomach to swell up soon to complete her important matter. And the son in front of her, if there was no hope at all, it was fine not having him.

Her actions and expression were seen by Xuan Tianmo immediately. Anger flared in his eyes and pointing at Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui, he shouted: “Don’t get any other ideas! I’m telling you, I will definitely recover! Definitely!”
