Medical Consort, the Prince is Pretending to be Dumb Again

Chapter 321: Attracting Negative Energy

Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Peony Banquet ended on a sour note.

For those not involved, the biggest gain from this event was simply entertainment!

During this Peony Banquet, the power struggle among the four potential candidates for the Crown Prince’s Consort was shattered. Princess Ping’an was doomed, leaving Miss Liu, Miss Zhang, and Miss Miao.

Unexpectedly, the one who brought down Yu Wanqing was none of these three, but Liu Shimei, who had narrowly missed becoming the Crown Prince’s consort!

After returning to the Capital City, it was once again a storm.

Four Florses Alley in the outer city.

A few old and young people sat busy under an old locust tree. Qi Yang, while making herbal pills, said, “Disciple, what kind of constitution do you have? Why does everything seem to revolve around you?”

Sitting beside, Liu Shimei sipped tea and read a medical book. She casually replied, “Clickbait, attracting negative attention, hot topic magnet, queen of gossip, rumors’ queen… just pick any title.”

Qi Yang and Zhong Lang were speechless.

Mo’er and Lian Qiao were speechless.

The four of them stopped making herbal pills and looked at Liu Shimei, perplexed. They could not understand what she was talking about.

Perhaps only ‘attracting negative attention’ was something they could grasp?

Suddenly, silence surrounded them. Liu Shimei lifted her head from the book and smiled, saying, “In short, it’s like the tree wants tranquility, but the wind won’t cease. A thriving tree in the forest will inevitably face strong winds!”

She used a figurative expression, and finally, they understood!

“Speaking of which, how will the Emperor deal with this matter?”Qi Yang asked again, “The Grand Princess won’t let it go, right?”

If it was just for Yu Wanqing, they would not necessarily involve the entire family. But with Liu Shimei’s interference, Huangfu He seemed determined to hold the Yu family accountable, and it appeared that the conflict was escalating into a clash between the two families, the Liang and Yu families…

He continued, “Will they become enemies?”

Liu Shimei slowly explained, “I’ve discussed this matter with Seventh Uncle and Ninth Brother on my way back to the Capital. They said that if we become enemies, so be it. Although the Yu family seems to have a high status due to the Grand Princess, they come from a military background and have declined over the years, similar to the Liang family. So, they’re not afraid of a confrontation.”

“But one key difference is that the Liang family is much more united, while the Yu family is like scattered sand internally.”

“The groom has long since passed away, and the entire family relies on the Grand Princess and the title of the royal family. Such a situation is disadvantageous for the Yu family.”

“The most crucial point is that Yu Wanqing has caused a major uproar this time. It’s no longer a simple squabble among young girls. It has turned into a matter concerning the relationship between the Crown Prince and King Dun Yu. She has spread rumors and caused trouble within the palace.”

“Therefore, the royal family will not tolerate Yu Wanqing. This is one of the results.”

After listening, the usually quiet Zhong Lang pointed out another critical point, “Another outcome is that the more united the Liang family, the more cautious the Emperor becomes.”

Liu Shimei fell silent.

She was well aware of this fact, which was why she felt the need to find an exit strategy. After all, the Liang family was already in decline. It did not matter if there was no conflict, but if a war broke out… just thinking about her loved ones possibly being sent to their deaths made Liu Shimei feel extremely uneasy.

It would be better to advise a shift in focus and not place all eggs in one basket!

She still needed to return to the Liang family as soon as possible to discuss this with Liang Wei and her uncle, Liang Yong.

Of course, since Liang Sheng knew that she wanted to open a medical center, he would definitely go back and tell Liang Wei. She also needed to go back and explain.

“Disciple, I can’t help but feel that you’re losing out here!” Qi Yang put down the herbal pills and looked at Liu Shimei. “You’re not fighting to become the Crown Prince’s Consort, so why bother with this battle against her enemies? This time, you’ve allowed the Grand Chancellor’s Residence to gain an advantage!”

“I didn’t want this to happen either!” Liu Shimei stroked her forehead. They insist on provoking me, so what can I do? 1 can’t just take it lying down and let them deal with me, right?”

At this point, Zhong Lang asked, “What about Miss Zhang and Miss Miao? Are they safe?”
