Unbridled Medical Expert Consort: Demon Prince, Be Good

Chapter 54a: Slowly Taking Shape

Luo Qing Luan focused her attention on creating a fake teacher. This person……naturally would be her in disguise. The location……of course it’s best at the general’s mansion. But, how should she present this. She should consider what to say a bit more. After all, the other person was Empress Wang, who identity was precious.

“Your Highness, there’s something you don’t know. Even though I’ve studied medicine on my own for several years, in order to properly understand the material, I still needed to depend on Teacher’s guidance.” Seeing Empress Wang nodding agreeing that this is expected, she continued again, but with a slightly embarrassed expression. “My teacher’s medical expertise is brilliant and limitless. Even if I studied for an entire lifetime, I’m afraid I still won’t be able to learn everything, but Teacher, she……”

“What is it? Does your teacher have some difficulty?” Empress Wang immediately asked.

She originally already gave up, her heart dead. Even the imperial physicians in the palace were unable to do anything about it, yet now, she suddenly heard Luo Qing Luan speak of such a brilliant teacher. A trace of hope birthed again at the bottom of her heart.

Having a child was the most cherished desire of every woman within the inner palace. Empress Wang was no exception. Even though she was the empress, the mother of the entire world, each day that she didn’t have her own body was another day that she couldn’t escape from feeling somewhat uncontented. 

Although the crown prince was filial and thoughtful, and was extremely respectful towards her, he was, after all, the ex-empress, her cousin’s son. He was close enough to her, but in the end, he still couldn’t compare to her own son.

Watching Luo Qing Luan, Empress Wang was a bit nervous. Even though this hope very likely might make her disappointed again, as long as there was a slight possibility, she wanted to give it a try.

“It’s just that my teacher, her personality is a little strange, I’m afraid……” Luo Qing Luan deliberately hummed and hawed, appearing as if she was embarrassed. “Even if I tell Teacher, and she is willing to diagnose and treat Your Highness, to have her comply with those secular etiquettes, and personally enter the palace, I’m afraid……”

Turned out it’s such a small matter. Empress Wang’s misgivings immediately vanished into thin air. “No problem. If your teacher truly can……”

She had not finished speaking when a shy voice arrived from a not so distant place. “Greetings Your Highness the Empress.”

The two of them turned their heads to look. Turned out it was a palace maid.

“Good afternoon, Your Highness. Our imperial concubine felt a bit unwell again this morning. Thinking that Miss Luo may not have left, she had this servant come here to check……” That palace maid very cautiously took a glance at Luo Qing Luan, then immediately lowered her head not daring to talk.

“Oh. I actually almost forgot. Qing Luan, it’s great that you’re here. It’s unknown whether that condition of Imperial Consort Song from yesterday has gotten better or not. How about you quickly go and see her?” Empress Wang asked.

Previously originally decided to go see her, Luo Qing Luan nodded her head. “Yes, Your Highness.”

Within Modest Model Palace……

The flowering crab apples outside the palace hall were as dark green as jade. Under the autumn sunshine, they were fresh, green and alluring. Several palace maids were sweeping the front of the main hall meticulously and carefully, not daring to make any sound, afraid they would disturb the resting Imperial Consort Song.

Inside the palace hall, Imperial Consort Song was sitting on a recliner, her back resting on a mottled bamboo pillow, eyebrows furrowing slightly. Her tender and beautiful red lips also lost their previous color.

Last night was supposed to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, yet she didn’t expect to nearly lose her life. Once she thought of this, panic rose from the bottom of her heart.

“Imperial Mother don’t need to hesitate. I think it’s still better to have the imperial physician come take a look at you.” Fifth Prince Nangong Chen sat by her side, somewhat worried.

Luckily, the heavens protected her with fortune to escape the calamity. Once he thought of how he almost parted eternally with his mother, he wished that he could kill the imperial physician who had been treating his mother. Not even able to take care of a little illness like the cough, he simply deserved to die!

He also knew what happened last night, but he certainly never imagined that it would be Luo Qing Luan who saved his mother. 

Both her displeased and joyous expressions appeared in his mind. Such an exceptional young flower, pure and refined, compared to the Luo Qing Shuang who he’d recently brought into his residence……even though the two are sisters, Luo Qing Shuang compared to Luo Qing Luan was truly inferior by not just a little.

One was barely enough to be considered charming and moving, but pitted against Luo Qing Luan’s appearance like an immortal dressed in white, Nangong Chen suddenly lost all interest.

Full of regret yet again, why didn’t he discover Luo Qing Luan’s true appearance earlier? Not only was she beautiful, she was also good at playing the zither. The main point was that she even saved Imperial Mother. If he had another chance to choose, he wouldn’t dissolve his engagement with Luo Qing Luan even if he was beaten to death.

“Child Chen, even though you were engaged to the second Miss Luo in the past, I really have not heard that she was versed in medicine.” Touching upon the matter of his mother’s health, Nangong Chen hesitated a little, but still replied, “Maybe last night was a coincidence. I certainly will thank her, but Mother’s body is precious and noble, it’s still better……”

“Since Fifth Prince is concerned about my capability, then let’s forget it.”

Suddenly, a sweet sounding and indifferent voice arrived at the door to the palace hall. Nangong Chen’s heart skipped a beat as he promptly turned his head. He did not have the chance to speak before Imperial Concubine Song beside him already sat up and quickly responded. “No no no, Qing Luan, don’t you listen to his nonsense. Xuancao, hurry and invite Miss Luo inside.”

Her dress swayed slightly, similar to a white lotus bloom, graceful and fragrant. She had not arrived, yet a scent like orchid and musk flower quietly came pouring in. Her lips were like peach blossoms in march, pink, soft, and full. She wore an indifferent expression on her face. Couldn’t tell whether she was angry, or smiling.

With but a turn of his head, Nangong Chen already blanked out due to what he saw.

It had been merely a half month since seeing her, yet she unexpectedly had already grown so enchanting, just like an immortal banished from heaven?

Only taking a quick glance at Nangong Chen, Luo Qing Luan didn’t expect to see him here.
