Heretic Doctor Useless Consort

Chapter 16

The next day…

The Southern Palace courtyard—that had originally become peaceful—was suddenly thrown into chaos again. Not long after, Ye Qianli’s room door was heavily banged on.

“Phew…”

This made the eyes of Ye Qianli—who had just let out a breath of turbid air and only felt refreshed—turn cold.

Bang!

Clang!

At the same time, the door to her room was violently kicked open. The broken pieces of wood struck a large porcelain bottle in the hall, causing a loud explosion.

Without even waiting for Ye Qianli to go out and welcome them or even giving her any time to freshen up, she heard the people who had barged in from outside yell, “What are you all dawdling for? Hurry up, go in and detain Eldest Young Miss.”

Bang!

As a result, Ye Qianli’s bedroom door was rudely kicked open. Under the lead of that old grandma who had mocked her previously, a group of her Ye family’s private guards charged into the room one after another aggressively.

Some of the private guards even looked towards the bed impolitely the moment they entered. They looked at Ye Qianli, who was on the bed. This was something that had never happened in Ye Qianli’s 16 years of life as a noblewoman.

As the Eldest Young Lady of the Ye family, her bedroom had always been a sacred existence in the Ye family. Other than her female family members and female servants, even her father—Ye Fengtian—had never been here, let alone other men.

“Get out!” Such rudeness and offense made the coldness in Ye Qianli’s eyes intensify. She then shouted out sharply, and for a moment…

Buzz!

All the people who had barged in one after another instantly felt as if they were struck between the brows by a sharp killing intent. Their hearts and souls trembled because of this, and their movements even stopped.

At this moment—especially those private guards who had rudely looked towards Ye Qianli, they felt that the girl sitting cross-legged on the bed in front of them, even though she was only wearing plain white undergarments, was actually so proper and untouchable! She felt like a high saint whom they could not offend.

“…”

Silence. The intruders immediately fell into a strange silence. Even though they were the Ye family’s private guards, they were all martial artists who cultivated mystic energy! They were all extraordinarily courageous people, but at this moment, they were all suppressed by Ye Qianli’s imposing aura.

“Yes…”

After a long while, the leader of the intruders—who was the strongest ninth-rank mystic apprentice in this group of private guards—subconsciously wanted to open his mouth to explain when he finally found his voice after much difficulty.

Although according to the instructions they had received, there was no need to explain anything and they could just take her away, he couldn’t help but want to explain himself respectfully at this moment.

Yet…

“Get lost.”

Ye Qianli did not accept the explanation. Her renewed cold shout already carried a hint of burning intent… And an especially powerful pressure that instantly crushed everyone who entered the venue, causing all of them to withdraw from the house with a swish.

None of them stopped hesitantly, and none of them moved slowly. Before their minds could even react, their bodies had already retreated and shut the door nimbly.

“…”

After retreating for quite a while, the group of people felt a lingering fear as cold sweat dripped down their foreheads. Many of them could not help but think: Eldest Young Lady… is she really crippled?

Why did Eldest Young Lady give them the feeling that she was not crippled at all? She still looked like the aloof eldest young lady within the mansion, a genius and goddess who could not be blasphemed against by mortals.

She even felt more noble and otherworldly.

But…

“Young Miss has such a huge temper, but no matter how big your temper is today, it’s not up to you. Why are you guys still not going in?! What are you afraid of her for? How can a shameless sl*t like her be fit to be the Eldest Young Lady? What a joke.”

That old granny, who had brought these people over, did not believe that Ye Qianli was not crippled. She firmly believed that the Doctor Jiang sent over by the crown prince would not make a mistake. More so, she firmly believed that her judgment was correct.

The prince and the princess consort didn’t like the Eldest Young Lady to begin with. In addition to today’s crime, she firmly believed that the Young Lady Cousin could replace the Eldest Young Lady completely. The harder and more ruthlessly she stepped on the Eldest Young Lady now, the more she would be valued by the Young Lady Cousin for sure in the future.

“…”

However, the response to the old granny was still silence. Not a single private guard responded to her call again. As cultivators, they were much more sensitive than ordinary people. They were rather afraid due to their inner judgment.

“What a bunch of useless people. They’re not even as good as an ordinary old woman like me.” The old grandma looked at them with contempt. Instead, she held her head high with her chest puffed out and tried to walk into the house once more.

However, just as she was about to push the door open, it was pushed open from the inside. She could not dodge in time and was slapped right in the face by the door.

Bang!

This old thing without any cultivation was sent flying in front of the private guards without any surprise. Then, she fell to the ground with a bang, lying down and facing upwards like an old dog.

Two streams of nosebleeds flowed out from that completely unappealing face of hers. That miserable look… Even the private guards felt the pain.

Ye Qianli, who pushed open the door and walked out, did not even look at this sick old dog. She walked out from within the house without any sideways glance. She already put on the image of a well-dressed noble lady.

Ye Qianli wore a white gown that was as soft and elegant as flowing clouds. On her body, it did not give people any sense of plainness or paleness. It only gave people a noble and otherworldly feeling! It was as if a goddess from the nine heavens had descended to the mortal world.

She wore a dangling, vivid, and realistic Nine Phoenix Sky Ornament that shook the heavens as if a real Nine Phoenix was about to ride the wind and break through the heavens. However, the hairpin attached to her silky-black hair didn’t overshadow the main attraction in the slightest. As if it was only opening up a path for her to soar into the clear blue sky.

A noble lady; a heavenly goddess!

Everyone who saw Ye Qianli in this poise received a sort of déjà vu of those ‘six characters’. Especially when she walked into the main hall of the Southern Palace with her back facing the light, step by step into the huge hall that had an oppressive aura.

Even Ye Fengtian and Su Qin, who were sitting high above, and Su Lianhua, who was slumped on the settee, could not get rid of this feeling.

Even though Su Lianhua was the most unwilling—among them—to admit that Ye Qianli was nobler than her, she could not help but concede with extreme jealousy… Ye Qianli was indeed nobler than her! More high-end than her!

In particular, Ye Qianli—who was dressed beautifully today—gave Su Lianhua a feeling that she was more beautiful than her—much more beautiful! Her eyes carried their own brilliance like colored glass, her brows were passionate like spring mountains, her exquisite nose was straight and glossy, and her lips were as red as the feathers of a Vermilion Bird.

It could be said that, at this moment, Ye Qianli had perfectly demonstrated what was called imposing! She was what they called noble and goddess-like.

Unfortunately…

She had been crippled.

When Ye Fengtian saw this kind of ambience from his daughter, he felt endless regret in his heart. He always knew that, although this daughter’s personality wasn’t likable, she was definitely capable.

Having grown up very beautifully, she looked very much like his mother. Back then, his mother— who had many suitors in the royal capital—was also so noble and domineering in his memory. She was so beautiful that even he, her son, felt a sense of distance.

“Someone, come and prepare a seat for the Eldest Young Lady.” Ye Fengtian’s voice was very gentle as he spoke with that trace of admiration in his heart.

“What is she sitting for?!” Su Qin screeched furiously.
