Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 779 - 778: The Fate of the Wicked (Part 1)

Chapter 779: Chapter 778: The Fate of the Wicked (Part 1)

Great Chu Imperial Palace, facing the several corpses that had just been carried away, Emperor Yongye sat withered on the dragon throne.

Beside Emperor Yongye, Li Qing also had swollen red eyes.

"Emperor, please restrain your grief."

Emperor Yongye remained silent, yet there were no tears in his eyes, for his tears, I fear, had long been dried up.

He had not expected that within just a few days, his princes would engage in a heart-wrenching struggle for the position of Crown Prince, nor had he anticipated that they would kill each other. In the end, even the Second Prince, who did not partake in the fight, met with a violent death.

"Li Qing, tell me, is this retribution for me?"

There was an endless melancholy in Emperor Yongye’s voice.

Once upon a time, he ascended the throne full of vigor, but now, because of this throne, he ended up in a situation where his family was ruined and his people were gone.

"Emperor, you still have the Seventh Prince and the Ninth Prince, and..."

Li Qing stopped mid-sentence, unable to think of any words to comfort Emperor Yongye.

"Reporting to the Emperor, the Seventh Prince is dead, the frontier has been lost, the Beiqi Allied Army has advanced."

A soldier, covered in dust and with a face full of sadness, followed behind him was the coffin of the Seventh Prince, Dongfang Li.

The frontier has been lost, the Seventh Prince is dead.

Emperor Yongye abruptly raised his head, feeling only a thunderous roar in his mind.

Over and over in his mind, there was only that sentence from the soldier.

A sweet, metallic taste came to Emperor Yongye’s throat, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Emperor."

All Emperor Yongye could hear was Li Qing’s panicked voice, his vision blurred, and he could see nothing clearly before he collapsed with a crash.

In the Great Chu Imperial Palace, Imperial Consort Dugu was admiring her own beauty in the mirror, her face proud between her brows, satisfied as all the princes had died, everything was as she desired.

Now that the Seventh Prince had become the final heir to the throne, once the frontier war was victorious, as soon as the Seventh Prince returned to Chu City, he could naturally become the Crown Prince, and soon after she would become the Crown Princess Consort, the Empress of Great Chu, all of which were Feng Xiangxue’s long-desired dreams.

Imperial Consort Dugu was full of pride.

"Imperial Princess Consort, something terrible has happened, the Emperor, he vomited blood and fainted."

A nanny hurriedly entered, her face full of anxiety.

"That old man is finally done for. He really could endure; I thought he would die of anger once he heard the news of the deaths of his sons."

Imperial Consort Dugu casually brushed her hair and chose a jade hairpin from her makeup box, playing with it.

"Imperial Princess Consort, the Seventh Prince is dead."

The nanny said, then knelt down.

Imperial Consort Dugu’s hand trembled, the sharp end of the hairpin pierced her finger, and blood surged out, she exclaimed in shock.

"What did you say, who is dead?"

"The Seventh Prince is dead, he was assassinated by Wu Wanwan from the Chen Dynasty on the frontier, his coffin is already being transported back."

The nanny was also full of grief, Imperial Consort Dugu’s face turned instantly pale.

"Dongfang Li is dead, what about the Jade Whistle?"

Imperial Consort Dugu became tense all over, she took deep breaths; Dongfang Li had died, what about the Jade Whistle she personally handed to him?

She gave the Jade Whistle to Dongfang Li so as to let him earn military merits, and also to use this leverage on Dongfang Li, but she had not anticipated Dongfang Li dying and losing the Jade Whistle.

If her master knew she had lost such an important Jade Whistle... Imperial Consort Dugu dared not think further.

"Princess Consort, what about the Emperor..."

Imperial Consort Dugu ignored the nanny, hurriedly searched the room, gathered some jewels and jewelry, and also found some silver notes, stuffing them all on herself, her only thought right now was to leave Chu City as quickly as possible.

She also knew that Dongfang Li was dead, everything was over, and she had lost her Jade Whistle; all of these, she feared, were related to her master.

The master was not dead at all, and once he knew that she had lost the Jade Whistle, he would definitely fly into a rage.

She must leave Chu City before the master returns to take control, running far away so that her master wouldn’t have the time to find her.

Imperial Princess Consort Dugu changed into the attire of a palace maid and hastily left the Imperial Palace. On

leaving, she thought for a moment, wrote a letter, hastily found a passerby on the street, and sent them off with a task.

She proceeded cautiously all the way to the outside of Feng Mansion.

Today, only Aunt Xue remained in Feng Mansion.

After Feng Zhao’an left Chu City, Feng Zhanlian had moved to the Imperial Academy and had never returned to Feng Mansion since.

Feng Zhao’an left some Silver Taels for Aunt Xue and even hired a maid to take care of her, but not long after his departure, Madam Feng brought some brutish servants to rob all the Silver Taels and the maid.

Being in the Imperial Palace, Imperial Princess Consort Dugu learned of this matter and ordered Madam Feng and both the mother and daughter of Feng Ruoyan to be executed by beating.

As for Aunt Xue, ever since Feng Zhan Tian died in front of her, her son and husband ignored her, and Aunt Xue became mad and delirious.

Outside Feng Mansion, Imperial Princess Consort Dugu pushed the door open and heard someone crying and screaming.

"Do not come looking for me, do not come looking for me, it wasn’t me who killed you. It was all done by Feng Zhanlian."

Imperial Princess Consort Dugu saw Aunt Xue cowering by the well in the courtyard, trembling all over.

Her appearance was haggard, her body emaciated as if she was no different from a madwoman, a stark contrast to the beautiful and delicate Aunt Xue of the past.

Imperial Princess Consort Dugu saw Aunt Xue in such a state, quickly stepped forward, and helped Aunt Xue up.

Aunt Xue did not recognize her, and pushed Imperial Princess Consort Dugu away.

"Do not come near, Feng Zhan Tian you evil spirit, you ruined me."

"Mother, it’s me, Xiangxue."

Imperial Princess Consort Dugu looked anxious; she wanted to escape Chu City but was also worried about Aunt Xue.

But she also knew that taking Aunt Xue with her would be nearly impossible, as Aunt Xue’s lunacy could very likely expose her identity and whereabouts.

"Zhao’an, you are my Zhao’an, Zhao’an you have finally come back."

Granny Xue smiled, holding onto Imperial Princess Consort Dugu’s hand tightly.

Empress Dugu’s face was filled with anger, she threw off Aunt Xue’s hand.

"What time is it now, and your mouth still only speaks of Zhao’an. In your heart, a son will always be more important than your daughter."

This frightened Aunt Xue who then started crying and making a scene.

"Feng Zhan Tian, do not come over, I didn’t kill you. It was the cold-blooded Feng Zhanlian who killed you."

She cried loudly.

"Stop shouting."

Seeing Aunt Xue making more and more noise, potentially alarming the neighbors, Feng Xiangxue hurriedly tried to cover Aunt Xue’s mouth.

However, Aunt Xue struggled vigorously, and amidst their tussle, Aunt Xue slipped, her body tilting backwards, and with a splash, she fell into the well behind her.

She struggled a few times in the well, then there was no more movement.

Imperial Princess Consort Dugu’s face turned pale as she stared in horror at the well. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"Mother."

Imperial Princess Consort Dugu called out softly, but there was no response from the well.

Imperial Princess Consort Dugu stammered, falling to the ground.

Giggling—

Laughter came through, and Feng Xiangxue, startled, looked behind her with wide eyes, only to see someone walking out of the side room, smiling amiably at her.
