The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1505 - 1589: Capturing Qinghe’s Double

But in the palace, there was already a "Qinghe" living under the surveillance of various forces. The Ninth Princess, Ji Jiuhuang, was uncertain whether Qinghe was involved in this matter, but for the Liang family, their actions, all their concerns, their code of conduct had only one starting point: everything was based on the person they loved the most.

Ji Jiuhuang might have needed to think carefully about her actions, but the men of the Liang family were not so constrained.

Liang Zhichen was skilled in strategy. Through a series of tests, he finally discovered clues, confirming that the "Qinghe" in the palace was not Xiao Qinghe himself, but merely a substitute.

That night, he and Yixuan entered the Imperial Palace via a secret passage and appeared unnoticed in Qinghe’s chamber, where they captured the substitute alive.

At home, in front of their wife and master, the brothers habitually restrained their sharp claws. However, once out of sight, all the dirty, foul, and sinister schemes and ruthless approaches were fully exposed. Women adorn themselves for those who appreciate them, and the same goes for men; everyone wants to appear perfect in the eyes of their beloved, hiding any shortcomings whenever possible, like a peacock displaying its feathers to show its best side to its beloved while concealing the unfavorable aspects of its character.

But at this moment, for the sake of their wife and master, to find them as quickly as possible, Zhichen’s emotions were in turmoil, and the deeper his anguish, the more ruthless and cold his methods became.

He captured Qinghe’s substitute and interrogated him, torturing him to the point of wishing for death. Although the substitute was stubborn, he couldn’t resist the continuous insertion of the True Word Gu as if it were free. In the end, the substitute confessed.

Originally, the substitute was one of Qinghe’s Hidden Guards. As a Hidden Guard, he strictly adhered to his bounds and never questioned his master’s thoughts. Therefore, he didn’t know much about Qinghe’s affairs, only that Qinghe had no feelings for the Eighth Princess and had long been deeply in love with the former Marshal Baowei.

Liang Zhichen speculated, could it be that Qinghe abducted their wife and master because he learned of her identity? No, that couldn’t be. Given what he currently understood of this person, if Qinghe knew that their wife and master was Marshal Baowei, he would never have secretly abducted her!

However, this person was quite intriguing.

Not cherishing what you have until it’s lost, and only then regretting. With his attitude back then, he approached Dong Dabao with a purpose from the very beginning, for the sake of exploitation. Regardless of the hidden truths, this feeling was impure from the start.

This person was very unfortunate, falling in love with the object he intended to use. And had he not fallen in love, what would have become of the past Dong Dabao, Dong Baowei? Losing a heart, only to realize that all the kindness from before was nothing more than a conspiracy.

Zhichen thought of this and sneered. "No matter what, Hui, she is the wife and master of our Liang family. Moreover, the past between the two..." The woman involved was not their wife and master, but another soul.

"Even if Qinghe’s true self isn’t in the Capital, the matters in this Capital need to be resolved." Zhichen pondered, and then he secretly entered the palace to meet the Ninth Princess. He and the Ninth Princess talked for a long time, but the content of their conversation remained unknown. It was only known that later Prince Meng had met with the Ninth Princess, and the Ninth Princess praised Zhichen highly.

This marked the beginning of the stormy and bloody turmoil in the Capital.
