Medical Princess

Chapter 1304 Commandery Prince Qing’s Mansion Is in Chaos

“Where is Mo Yan?” Chu Liuyue asked. He helped get Shao Yanru out of the Palace, yet he did not notice her servant girl back then.

“Mo Yan is in Prince Chen’s Mansion. It’s said that Princess Chen took her out of the Palace at that time,” Shao Yanru said.

“Ask your sister-in-law to make a trip and take Mo Yan away. I’ll take her away from your sister-in-law’s place afterward,” Chu Liuyue said.

“Okay.” Shao Yanru obeyed.

Following that, Chu Liuyue asked about some other things, and Shao Yanru answered them one by one. She also brought Shao Hua’an in tactfully, saying that Shao Hua’an’s injured leg had recovered, and he could work now. Although he lost power now, his old friends were still there. If Chu Liuyue wanted something but it was inconvenient for him to show up, she could ask Shao Hua’an to do it.

Seeing that Shao Yanru thought for him wholeheartedly, Chu Liuyue nodded and asked someone to escort her back.

After Shao Yanru left, Mr. Liu, who had been sitting quietly aside, suddenly said, “Your Highness, do you feel anything fishy on this matter?”

“What’s fishy?” Chu Liuyue asked. He picked up the teacup at hand and took a sip.

“Your Highness, Although you helped Miss Shao back then, you didn’t dare to use too many people. However, Miss Shao actually came out of the Palace and disappeared all of a sudden.” Mr. Liu didn’t notice Shao Yanru before, but now he realized that he had neglected something. He thought for a while and asked Prince Chen in detail.

“Yes, it’s said that Chu Liuzhou did it,” Chu Liuyue took it lightly and said. Shao Yanru had told him about it, and she didn’t even hide the secret that Chu Liuzhou had occupied her from him.

“Your Highness, could it be that Miss Shao also turned to Prince Zhou for help when she asked you for help? It was a secret. Since she dared to ask Prince Zhou for help, it meant that she trusted Prince Zhou that he would not only keep the secret for her but also would help her, right?” Mr. Liu reminded Chu Liuyue cautiously.

In what case would a woman trust a man so much? No, to be exact, she trusted two men. When Chu Liuyue recalled the scene of the fight with Chu Liuzhou back then, his face suddenly turned gloomy.

It seemed that Shao Yanru had a connection with Chu Liuzhou for a long time, and it was more than that. She might be even more intimate with Chu Liuzhou than Chu Liuyue. They might have had sexually intimate a long time ago. Otherwise, why was she taken away by Chu Liuzhou instead of Chu Liuyue’s men after leaving the Palace? Back then, Chu Liuyue did send his men over to pick up Shao Yanru.

Thinking of this, Chu Liuyue became furious. If that was the case, he was just a backup. Chu Liuzhou was the one whom Shao Yanru loved. It was not difficult to explain why she abandoned Chu Liuzhou and turned to follow him later. Shao Yanru was smart. She realized that something went wrong with Chu Liuzhou’s situation, and she was afraid of being implicated, so she ran away in advance.

Of course, it was also possible that she hid in Prince Yue’s Mansion to wait for Chu Liuzhou to succeed before going back to Chu Liuzhou’s side.

Chu Liuyue slammed his hand hard on the table and cursed in a fierce voice, “Bitch!”

Apparently, Shao Yanru didn’t take him seriously.

“Your Highness, this is just my guess. It may not be accurate,” Mr. Liu explained carefully,

Noticing that Prince Yue was furious. Of course, Mr. Liu could not say that Shao Yanru probably had cuckolded Prince Yue. However, Mr. Liu thought Shao Yanru was a troublemaker.

Shao Yanru followed Prince Zhou before, and Prince Zhou’s Mansion ended up like this. Now she stayed in Prince Yue’s Mansion, so Mr. Liu was very worried.

“Your Highness, how about we send Miss Shao away?” Mr. Liu suggested.

“Where to send her?” Chu Liuyue asked coldly.

“We can send her to the manor in the suburb and keep an eye on her,” Mr. Liu said. It was not “protect her” but “keep an eye on her”. Of course, the meaning was different.

“Okay, send her away now,” Chu Liuyue agreed. He could interrogate Mo Yan personally when she came over, and he didn’t need Shao Yanru to come over.

That night, a carriage drove out of the backyard of Prince Yue’s Mansion to the suburb. It was a very ordinary carriage that was only used by servants usually, and it went through the back door, so no one notice it.

Of course, only those ordinary people didn’t notice it, but the person who had been keeping an eye on Prince Yue’s Mansion naturally found the movement and followed the carriage all the way…

It was not too late for Chu Qing to get the news, but he was delayed by some trivial things. Mo Qiuyi suddenly fainted, so he had no choice but to go to see her first. Chu Qing stayed by her side for a while until she woke up. Seeing that Mo Qiuyi didn’t look well, Chu Qing didn’t say anything more but just asked her to have a good rest before leaving with his servants.

Chu Qing went straight to the Consort Dowager’s place. The Consort Dowager looked even worse. She was sitting with Princess Yuyan, whose face looked pale.

Seeing Chu Qing come in, Princess Yuyan stood up and bowed to him.

Chu Qing waved his hand, motioning for her “Don’t stand on ceremony”. Then he sat down on the other side of the Consort Dowager and asked, “Mother, what’s going on? Why did my father give the Tiger Token to Chu Liuchen back then? I’m his son. Why didn’t he leave anything for me? I’m much healthier than that invalid.”

“Back then, your father didn’t know that I was having you,” the Consort Dowager said grumpily. “Half of the Tiger Token was in the hands of the former Empress, and the other half should be with your father. I don’t know why both halves are in the hands of Chu Liuchen now!”

“Mother, what else don’t you know? Why have you never mentioned such an important thing to me?” Chu Qing tried hard to hold it back but failed, so he asked angrily.

“I thought there would be no problem for the Tiger Token…” The Consort Dowager was restless.

“You thought? You’ve thought a lot of things, but how many of them are good?” Chu Qing was pissed off. If he had known about the Tiger Token, he could have followed this clue to get it ahead of Chu Liuchen. In that case, he would most likely be the crown prince now.

“I’m your mother!” Being rebuked like this by Chu Qing, and Princess Yuyan was next to her, the Consort Dowager felt so ashamed that she pounded the table angrily.

It fell silent in the room. Princess Yuyan sat still on the chair, for fear of attracting the attention of the mother and son. She regretted not leaving early. The reason why she stayed here was to inquire about Mo Qiuyi.

Apparently, she couldn’t get any news about Mo Qiuyi, and she might even become cannon fodder in the war between the Consort Dowager and Chu Qing.

Chu Qing calmed down and said slowly, “Mother, sorry, I was too anxious just now. What should we do now?”

“There is another person who is more qualified to inherit the throne than you. Take it easy. He is more anxious,” the Consort Dowager said. Then she looked at Princess Yuyan, who was sitting next to her.

Princess Yuyan understood immediately. She stood up and said, “My Lady, Your Highness, I have something to deal with in my courtyard. I’ll have to go.”

“Go ahead.” The Consort Dowager nodded.

After bowing to them respectively, Princess Yuyan slowly left the room. When she got out of the door and looked at the slightly closed door, she was in a bad mood.

“If Chu Liuchen becomes the crown prince, Shao Wanru will be the crown princess. No way! Only someone as noble as me can become the crown princess.”

“Your Highness.” the palace maid beside her reminded Princess Yuyan in a low voice.

Princess Yuyan understood that she couldn’t stand at the door for too long, lest she would arouse the suspicion of the mother and son inside. She had to leave with her people in heavy footsteps. Things had developed too fast. Princess Yuyan hadn’t settled her own affairs yet, and Chu Qing was about to lose his power and influence.

“Mother, what to do?” Watching Princess Yuyan leave, Chu Qing asked.

“What can we do? Make something happen to someone in the Palace.” The Consort Dowager’s face looked a little ferocious in the dark room.

“Which one?” Chu Qing thought for a moment and asked.

“The Empress Dowager,” the Consort Dowager said coldly.

“Will it be discovered by others?” Chu Qing asked uneasily. If he wanted to take action against the people in the Palace, he had to use their triumph card. It was not easy to enter the Palace right now.

The Consort Dowager gritted her teeth and said, “It will be the best way to disturb others’ view if something happens to the Empress Dowager at this time.” The Consort Dowager could not let go of this chance. She had worked hard for so long and even entered the Palace to accompany the deceased emperor. She just wanted to give the child in her belly a legitimate identity. Since God had given her a son, it was a chance given to her.

She had endured it for so many years and finally walked out of the Yuhui Nunnery. Now she could also get through the difficulty.

“Is she willing to do it?” Chu Qing still had scruples and asked.

“So what if she is not willing to? It comes the critical time of life and death. Moreover, Qiuyi is her granddaughter. Before she entered the Palace, she mentioned that there was a secret passage in the Palace that had not been revealed. If she took action, she would not be exposed easily. This is the best opportunity for now,” the Consort Dowager said calmly.

“But we arranged someone in the Palace of Benevolent Peace before, and the medicine powders provided by Princess Yuyan were also sent there,” Chu Qing said.

“The situation has changed. The medicine powders work too slowly, but they need to be used as usual. After the incident occurred, those people’s attention will be diverted to Chu Liuyue because he is the one who most hopes to see the chaos right now.” The Consort Dowager arranged in an orderly way, with a flash of light in her eyes. Even at this time, it was not the time to be desperate.

“How to deal with Commandery Prince Cheng?” After thinking about it for a while, Chu Qing thought that this was the only way.

“Promise Commandery Prince Cheng that we will give him a hand if he takes action,” the Consort Dowager sneered. There was only one throne. Both Chu Liuyue and Commandery Prince Cheng had taken a fancy to it, but neither of them would succeed. Only her son was destined to ascend the throne, and those people could be used by her.

With Chu Liuyue attracting attention in the front and the restless Commandery Prince Cheng taking action in the back, she and Chu Qing could steadily sit in Commandery Prince Qing’s Mansion and watch them tear each other apart.

With this thought, the Consort Dowager calmed down. She leaned over to discuss the details with Chu Qing carefully. After that, Chu Qing went to see Mo Qiuyi again, and he stayed at Mo Qiuyi’s place that night. Early the next morning, Chu Qing left the inner court with a letter written by Mo Qiuyi yesterday and went to the study room in the outer court…

When Princess Yuyan heard that Chu Qing had stayed with the sick Mo Qiuyi last night, she was so angry that she smashed several porcelain vases on the antique shelf. Even though Mo Qiuyi had been like this, Chu Qing was still eager to see her. It could be seen that there was no room for Princess Yuyan in Chu Qing’s heart at all. If Princess Yuyan did not fight for it, she would definitely end up miserably.

Princess Yuyan didn’t care about the external chaos, but she had to win in the internal strife first and then help Chu Qing to make a move…
