Miracle Doctor, Abandoned Daughter: The Sly Emperor's Wild Beast-Tamer Empress Chapter 175: Artificial Disease

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ling Yue took a closer look at the queen to get a better picture of the woman.

At more than thirty years of age, Liu Yun Xiu cant be considered exemplary with her appearance. Though that may be true, her graceful elegance was her main redeeming feature. Compared to the enchanting and charming look portrayed by Consort Luo, this woman was more befitting of her image as the ruler of the inner palace.

As expected of a scholarly woman of her background. According to what Ling Yue learned through her god mothers mouth, Liu Yun Xius father was the royal tutor of the current king, making her well respected among the old dowager and her husband. If not for the illness plaguing the sixth prince, things never wouldve fallen this far.

Flat cheeks with an unhealthy shade of yellow to her skin, its no wonder the king had beco estranged to this woman when she looks so horrible. An extra ten years mustve been added to her age due to this.

After a while, Liu Yun Xiu finally cos out of her unconscious state. Her eyes full of vigilance upon eting Ling Yues face.

Although it was Ling Yue who saved her, but if word gets out of the palace regarding her sons worsening condition, the king will no doubt order an execution as a result of the tainted reputation to the royal family.

This maiden in front cannot be stayed.

Through her keen senses, Ling Yue didnt miss the short glimr of murderous intent, Your highness, I am Madam Lans second daughter, Lan Ling Yue.

You are Ye Xuans second daughter? Upon hearing the girl was related to Madam Lan, Liu Yun Xiu imdiately cald down sowhat. Is your mother doing well? I havent seen her in years already.

Mother is doing very good. Ever since father got transferred back to the capital, shes been wanting to visit you in person. Just that she never got the opportunity. Though mother wanted to co see you during the last banquet at the Ghost Festival, but her request was firmly rejected by Consort Luo when brought up. If Madam Lan were to et her friend again in this state, its a certainty the woman would be saddened by the queens appearance.

Consort Luo? The queen was a little surprised by the story.

Your highness must be unware of the affairs in the inner palace and the pompous regard for power by Consort Luo. Over the years, that woman had used your na to dispose of the many concubines favored by the king himself, and whether it be in the public or in private, her influence now rivals your own. Ling Yues wording causes the queen to have a major change in her complexion.

To confirm the story, she turns to consult Chiyan and the rest of the maids in the room. Sure enough, none replied to her gaze, their heads deeply lowered.

Chiyan, are her words true? A thin layer of anger cos out of her face.

Prior to the sixth prince becoming sick, Liu Yun Xiu had governed the inner palace with great care and equality. Never once were their heavy rifts between the differing concubines.

My queen, Ive long wanted to inform you of this. Thanks to his majestys high favor and your previous ssage to leave her in charge, Consort Luo had amassed a formidable force under her using the crown prince as the banner. Now theres only the dowager left capable of suppressing the womans behavior, but even then, her highness would turn a blind eye whenever the crown prince is brought up. In his younger years, Chiyan had received a lot of help from the queens father so hes absolutely loyal to her.

Towards Ling Yue who managed to spill everything he never had the courage to do, Chiyan was very grateful inside.

The bla can only be on then for being so muddle all these years. Now that my son is in this state, I fear my title as queen is but a na now. Making a bitter smile, Liu Yun Xiu can tell the only reason nothing drastic has happened yet was solely due to the kings sentint towards her father, the royal tutor. If one day her father passes away, only banishnt into the cold palace awaits her and her son.

Dont be discouraged your highness, Consort Luo only managed to ascend to her current position thanks to the crown prince. Without that bargaining chip, the woman has nothing. Lets not forget, you also have your son the sixth prince. From what I heard, his highness is both gifted and more intelligent than the fourth prince. If we can sohow help him recover, Im certain the dowager and the king too will turn their favor back to your side. Whats there to worry about? Ling Yue repeatedly reminds her like a demons whisper.

Originally there had never been any enmity between Ling Yue and Consort Luo, but after tonights scheming, the grudge has been set. Besides, that womans colluding with the Hong Clan, its just a matter of ti anyways.

A friends enemy is her enemy, all she needs to do is to wipe them all out, thats the creed followed by Ling Yue.

At the ntion of her son, a spark of parental love cos out of her eyes, but more than that, theres an undeniable helplessness.

Ling Yue, your mother and I have been friends for many years so Ill tell you the truth. If its any other person trespassing into my Morning Flower Wing tonight, they be dead by now. I cannot allow anyone to learn of my sons worsening condition because many have died by his hands already. These arent unknown to the dowager from what I can tell, but his majesty the king is still oblivious to it. As an upright person, the king will definitely order my sons execution if words leak. Such a son, how can he compete with the current crown prince? Her eyes turn murky with tears, ready to slide out the corner at any mont.

Xia Hou Qi was once her greatest pride, but now its the queens greatest pain.

Royal Tutor Liu had advised her many tis before to conceive another child while shes still young, but in the end the instinct of a mother doesnt permit her to abandon the sixth prince.

What sort of illness is the sixth prince suffering from? Ling Yue only knows the prince was suffering from an illness, but specifics are unknown to her. This was also why she didnt rashly promise her god mothers request back then.

Originally she didnt want to ddle into the dirty waters of the palace, but now that others are shoving their hands in her face, theres no point in holding back. Besides, the attacks used by the sixth prince intrigued her quite a bit.

I dont know either what sort of illness my son is suffering from. All sorts of healers and alchemists have co to see him, but no matter the dicine or pills we use, none could prove useful. Over the years it only got worse. So ti ago Hou Qi could still recognize as her mother, but these two months, things have beco so terrible that hes attacking the servants. Weeping, tears began to flow again.

Dont be anxious your highness. I myself have so dical know how, why dont I have a look and see if theres anything to be done?

No, my sons temper is so bad recently that he will attack anyone who gets near. I was only bringing him food tonight and you saw what happened, the queen shakes her head.

No matter, I will have my ways to get close to his highness. However, before the diagnostic, I would like to survey his living quarters. Also, I will need a list of his usual diet and habits for careful assessnt.

Relying on her intuition, Ling Yue can be sure the sixth prince didnt beco like this due to illness. Theres sothing else going on.
