The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince! Chapter 1417: 1412: The Ancestral Ginseng

Chapter 1417: Chapter 1412: The Ancestral Ginseng

Chu Heng was being held by Su Yingxue as he ate his al, pondering. Lord Zhuo, as a pillar of the state, even if he covered for the Imperial Consort once, the emperor wouldn’t kill him.

He still needed to be utilized heavily.

But it was necessary to sound a warning, so making him stay in the dungeon for a while longer would serve. During this ti, the political affairs could be assisted by Lord Lu Mian. On one hand, this would pressure Lord Zhuo, and on the other, it could also cultivate Lord Lu Mian’s abilities.

One must know how to recognize talents and put them to good use in the royal court.

Moreover, Lord Lu Mian’s thod of handling affairs was different from Lord Zhuo’s—he was more insidious.

It was better to let him think of ways to do things behind the scenes.

Chu Heng understood all this, but it was difficult to talk to the emperor about it.

He was afraid the emperor would call him a monster.

“Hehe, you are indeed a little monster!”

A girl’s voice ca through, and a baffled Chu Heng asked, “You again? Why do you call a monster?”

“Because before you were even born, your father always called you little monster!” Little Ginseng hid within Su Yingxue’s Divine Sense and conversed with Chu Heng through thoughts.

Chu Heng closed his eyes; he could almost see in his mind a valley where a cute little girl with rosy cheeks was smiling at him, “Is that you?!”

Little Ginseng didn’t expect that the little child could actually see her!

She smiled, “Yes! Little monster! For you to be able to connect with , you truly deserve to be Su Yingxue’s son!”

Little Ginseng thought, maybe it was because she always looked at the child inside Su Yingxue’s belly when she was pregnant, which allowed him to be imbued with spiritual energy. He was more intelligent than other children and was now even able to converse with her.

“Hey, what’s your na?”

“I, the ginseng, have no na, but I have cultivated for countless years and have beco a mature Spiritual dicine!”

“Ginseng… but ginseng is yellow, and you are pink!”

Chu Heng closed his eyes, and the image of the little girl beca even clearer in his mind—delicate and lovely, with a complexion fair as jade and snow.

So endearing it could lt one’s heart.

“Can ordinary ginseng compare to their ancestor?”

“Why are you the ancestor…”

Chu Heng didn’t finish his sentence when he could no longer hear Little Ginseng’s voice, and the image in his mind disappeared too.

He opened his eyes to find himself naked in the bath, while his mother had already finished bathing and left.

Without his mother, he could no longer hear the voice of that ancient ginseng spirit, nor could he see the little girl!

“Mother! Mother, I want to see the little girl!”

Chu Heng hurriedly ran out, climbed onto his mother’s bed, and tried to close his eyes to continue chatting with the little girl.

But Su Yingxue and Chu Yihan had already gone to bed. Su Yingxue quickly adjusted her nightgown, her cheeks blushing as she coaxed Chu Heng, “Heng’er, be good. How about sleeping by yourself tonight?”

“No, no! I want the little girl!”

“No temper tantrums, go to sleep by yourself,” Chu Yihan reprimanded him with a cool expression.

Chu Heng pouted, feeling wronged as he was sent out. He closed his eyes many tis but could no longer see the little girl.

Outside Fengqi Palace, Leng Muling was already gone, but Mo Qi was still kneeling there for her.

He was a man, and whatever he had done to Leng Muling, he must take responsibility for her, even if he could not marry her now, he had to do sothing on behalf of the Leng family for her.

But when he knelt until dawn, a subordinate whispered a ssage in his ear that greatly shocked him. He imdiately got up and hurried out of the palace.

When Leng Muling woke up, Su Yingxue summoned her.

As she knelt down, she thudded to the ground, her knees clashing loudly with the floor. Su Yingxue frowned, “It hurts even just to hear it.”

Biting her teeth, Leng Muling said, “This nobleman’s daughter has been unseemly, Your Majesty, please forgive .”

“Get up.”

Su Yingxue helped her up to a seat and advised her, “Your leg is afflicted with dampness. You should avoid the wind and apply hot compresses and ointnts more often, or else you might suffer in old age.”

“Your Majesty, I thank you for your kindness, but my family…”

Leng Muling almost blurted out a request for the Leng family when she rembered Yun Sijin’s entrustnt and swallowed her words back.

Su Yingxue saw her as naive and adorable, so she spoke directly, “Leng Shuqing attempted to harm the Crown Prince, her cris are unforgivable, and it’s difficult for her to escape her punishnt. As for whether the Leng family will be implicated and how they will be dealt with in the end, that is the emperor’s decision. I will not influence the emperor’s decision.”

“Your Highness is wise; I understand the stakes involved and have no complaints. It’s just that yesterday… I saw seventh brother—Lord Mo!”

Leng Muling pursed her lips. She wanted to see Mo Qi, to know what he truly thought.

“After you fainted yesterday, Mo Qi knelt for you all night, and only left this morning. He must have gone to serve by the emperor’s side by now, otherwise he would have waited for you to wake up.” Su Yingxue stroked her head and told her the news.

Mo Qi, this fool, had been montarily enchanted by Hong Lian, but Leng Muling was still on his mind.

Leng Muling felt a sweetness in her heart, “With this, I am reassured. But Your Majesty, that girl nad Hong Lian… did seventh brother truly love her?”

Su Yingxue paused, hesitating whether to tell Leng Muling this matter.

But Leng Muling’s eyes were filled with longing, “Your Majesty, if I am to marry seventh brother in the future, I want to know the full story.”

Even if Mo Qi and that girl nad Hong Lian had a past that she could not accept, she had to know it. Knowing was the only way to plan for a future life with Mo Qi.

“Alright, I’ll tell you. Hong Lian once managed the Silver Moon Pavilion and was acquainted with Mo Qi and the emperor for many years. But her intentions were impure; she plotted against the emperor and . Initially, considering her past help to the emperor and Mo Qi, I did not sentence her to death but imprisoned her for life. She was also the woman who Mo Qi had devoted his heart to for many years. But Mo Qi was hurt by her love, sought dicine from , and forgot her.”

Although she didn’t know why Mo Qi was once again enticed by Hong Lian to want to recover his mories, after all, Hong Lian was the past.

And she would never walk out of the dungeon of the Ninth Prince’s Mansion.

If Mo Qi dared to do anything, she had already taught him a lesson!

After listening, Leng Muling stood still for quite a while, her emotions complex until finally calming down and being released from the palace by Su Yingxue.

She had to admit that she was exceptionally jealous of that woman nad Hong Lian. Seventh brother had loved her so much for so many years, holding on to her as his dearest.

So fixated that it hurt to breathe, he had to use dicine to forget her.

This kind of deep imprint…

Perhaps it would be irreplaceable in her lifeti.

But they were all in the past, weren’t they?

Walking down the palace road, Leng Muling could see the way leading to the imperial study, where her seventh brother was standing guard.

She struggled to contain her emotions, a slight smile on her face, “Seventh brother, we will have a future.”

Since Hong Lian was the past, let her stay in the past forever!

Lu Mian, dressed in a dark red official robe, appeared to walk out of the imperial study casually and found himself on the sa path in the palace road as Leng Muling.
