I woke up as the Villainous Empress

36 Master Jiang Tai

Yang Ning sighed in relief and secretly waved at Xing Bao with a smirk on her face when the guards dragged her out of the room.

She was glad that Xing Bao was punished as she had wanted but the punishment was not up to her liking.

It was too light for the crimes that she had committed until now.

Too bad that she was only punished to be flogged hundred times, otherwise the way she has treated Yang Ning and Xiaowei until now and has misused her power as the Head Maid, she deserves to be investigated officially by the state and be punished accordingly.

At least their punishment would not be as light as hers if Xing Bao were to be punished by the laws of the Empire. Because the laws for the servants misbehaving with their masters are way more ruthless than just being flogged 100 times.

There are high chances that she will be either flogged to death or would have been kicked out of the capital with nothing to astray in the mountains for not only looking down and mistreating the future Crown Princess of the Empire but also wishing her to die, which can be considered treason in a way against the royal family.

The least she was planning was to get her flogged a hundred times and kick her out of the Yang Household. Because it would have been better if she could get rid of the Head Maid, who always torture Yang Ning and this would have been her goodbye present to Yang Ning before she goes back to her world.

She is not going to live in this fictional world for her whole life after all!

However, after the great performance by Chang Ah, she was forced to reduce the punishment that she had planned for Xing Bao.

.....

Because if she disregards the words of Chang Ah, who is her so-called mother, people will call her hateful names such as ‘Vicious Yang Ning ‘, ‘Unfilial daughter’, ‘Shameless girl’, and whatnot.

Keeping the public sentiments in mind and Yang Luoyang, rather than kicking the Head Maid out of the Household, Yang Ning punished her to be flogged hundred times and deposed her from her position.

Because she can go against Chang Ah but she is not powerful enough to stand up against Yang Luoyang, who is not only her father but has a close relationship with His Majesty.

” Father, if there is nothing else, I will also take-” Yang Ning was bidding goodbye to Yang Luoyang, however before she can leave the study room and go back to her chamber to rest, she was interrupted by the guard who came running inside and bowed to Yang Luoyang before informing them about the appearance of the unexpected guests. ” My Lord, the people from the Royal Palace have come and are asking for the presence of the Young Lady.”

Yang Ning raised her brows in confusion when the guard looked at her expectantly. She

pointed a finger at her in puzzlement and asked, ” Me? Why?”

She returned from the Palace a while ago, who would have come to look for her in such a short time? That too....without any prior notice.

“Master Jiang Tai, it’s a great honor to serve you. However, can I ask you the reason for your sudden visit?” Yang Luoyang asked cautiously as he poured a cup of tea for the man sitting in front of him.

Yang Ning raised her brows in surprise to see Yang Luoyang treating the man with so much respect and speaking politely.

He even served him a cup of tea himself? That’s surprising!

She stared at the old man in puzzlement, who was sitting opposite her and frowned wondering what could be the identity of this man who has brought the arrogant Yang Luoyang on his toes.

The man with a mysterious identity looked old and had sagging wrinkles on his face. His silver beard was neatly trimmed and was expressing his cold and indifferent personality.

He was just sitting there, however, his aura was enough to put everyone on their toes. Even Yang Luoyang was speaking politely to him.

That means he must be a man of Power. Otherwise, there is no way Yang Luoyang would treat him with so much respect.

The old man did not answer Yang Luoyang’s question and silently sipped on the tea while ignoring his existence.

The man sitting next to the old man smiled nervously as he answered on his behalf, ” Minister Yang, We came here to fulfill the command of the Crown Prince.”

” We heard that Lady Yang Ning was sick for the past two days. That’s why he has asked us to check on her health and treat her.”

“The Crown Prince did that?” Yang Luoyang’s eyes widened in shock when he found out about this truth.

” Yes. Initially, When he asked someone to visit the Yang Household, I was supposed to come to treat Lady Yang Ning, however, the Crown Prince requested the Master to come and check on her health.”

Yang Ning pursed her lips when she realized that the cold and indifferent old man sitting in front of her was none other than the Master of all the physicians in the Zheng Empire, The Great Jiang Tai.

Just as the name suggests, he is the Master of all physicians in the Empire and has taught them the principles of medicine.

He is currently working as the Chief Physician at the Imperial Medicine Department and only tends to His Majesty and the Crown Prince who is going to succeed the throne in the future.

He is highly knowledgeable in his field and was popular for having golden hands.

Whoever he treats, gets better in no time. No one in the Empire doubts his medicinal knowledge and practice.

.

‘How come that kind of famous personality came to check on me?’ Yang Ning was speechless as she was not expecting this kind of celebrity treatment.

‘ Does he want to confirm If I was really sick or was faking my sickness?’ She wondered.

Because there was no way that a guy who loathed her in the was suddenly showing concern towards her.

It was strange. In so many ways.

In the , Master Jiang Tai has helped the Female lead and Zheng Liang to come together since she used to work at the Imperial Medicine Department as the only female nurse.

He was like a father figure to the female lead and obviously, used to hate Yang Ning, who was known for tormenting the girl.

‘Wait. Since I haven’t gotten married to the Crown Prince and the Female lead hasn’t appeared in the story yet, does that mean he does not hate me?’ She thought.

Will it be safe to get treated by him? He won’t poison her, will he?

–

Even Yang Luoyang was surprised when he heard that the Crown prince himself has requested Master Jiang Tai to visit his household to check on Yang Ning.

Has he taken a liking to Yang Ning? That’s why he is showing his concern towards her?

His eyes lit up, realizing that his plan is finally working. Seems like having a useless daughter like Yang Ning can come into use someday.

She is not completely useless after all.
