The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler

Chapter 857: Fight

A woman’s instinct was always very accurate. Jiang Yucheng just spoke two sentences to Chu Liuyue, but it made Shangguan Wan feel very uncomfortable.

She clenched her hands in her sleeves tightly and went forward with anger burning in her eyes. “Tomorrow is our wedding day. According to the rules, we can’t meet the day before. If not, it’ll be inauspicious. Even if you’re worried about Father, I’m still around in the palace. How can you just come over so casually?”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yucheng knitted his brows. “Wan’er, you’re thinking too much.”

“How am I thinking too much?” Shangguan Wan was even angrier. “Even normal people who get married try to avoid each other the day before, let alone us—”

This had always been a tradition that the Tianling Dynasty had passed down. Even if it was just for good luck, Jiang Yucheng shouldn’t have come to the palace at this time.

After seeing how demanding Shangguan Wan was, Jiang Yucheng’s patience gradually ran out as his face turned cold. “Since you care about this rule so much, I’ll leave right now.”

Then, he really turned around, whipped his sleeves, and left.

However, Jiang Yucheng ignored her words. He didn’t even pause for a single moment and directly left.

Anyone could tell how harsh and cold his back view was when he left.

The temperature of the yard instantly dropped to negative.

Shangguan Wan gradually recovered her senses as her face turned red and white in embarrassment.

However, Chu Liuyue just stood at the side and slightly raised her brows as if she didn’t even care about this matter.

She knew very clearly what kind of person Jiang Yucheng was. The most important person in his heart would forever be himself. Since when would such a selfish person care about others?

Shangguan Wan clenched her teeth tightly and suppressed the anger in her heart with much difficulty. “The two of you, follow me in to see Father!”

Then, she went in first.

Chu Liuyue and Zuo Mingxi followed behind her closely.

…

It was very quiet in Qingfeng Palace.

The cauldron was surrounded with white mist, and a faint smell of Long Xian Fragrance wafted toward their noses.

She silently looked in.

A person lay on the golden bed, but she could only see a vague figure from where she was. However, Chu Liuyue still recognized that the person was her father at first glance!

Her nose turned sour, and tears welled up in her eyes as a wave of warmth rushed up her heart and overwhelmed her.

When she was driven to the corner and finally decided to burn herself and commit suicide, she didn’t even bid her father farewell properly. Now that she had met him again, she had already become someone else.

Once Chu Liuyue thought of how he had laid here for two years, she felt pain and anger that almost shot through her chest.

She spent a lot of effort to restrain her urge to rush up.

Shangguan Wan walked in front and had already reached the bed. “Physician Zuo, check on Father’s condition first.”

Zuo Mingxi went forward. He pulled open the mesh and pulled out His Majesty’s hand, revealing the latter’s wrist on the outside as he meticulously took his pulse.

After a moment, he released the latter’s hand. “His Majesty hasn’t fully recovered yet, and his condition keeps fluctuating. If we want His Majesty to wake up, we need to treat him properly.”

Then, he glanced at Chu Liuyue. “If we can supply him with some Dancing Lotus and the blood of a legendary fiend, it will naturally be for the best.”

Everyone could guess why Shangguan Wan called Chu Liuyue over. Therefore, Zuo Mingxi directly said it.

Shangguan Wan asked, “Physician Zuo, do you have the confidence to refine the medicine for Father then?”

Zuo Mingxi laughed. “Your Highness, you might not know, but rare treasures like the Dancing Lotus and the blood of a legendary fiend don’t need refinement. You just need to boil them into soup medicine with some complementary herbs and then consume it directly.”

This saved time.

Shangguan Wan heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Chu Liuyue. “Ms. Chu, please take out the items.”

Chu Liuyue went forward and stood three steps before the bed. From here, she could vaguely see the outline of the familiar face.

At this moment, his eyes seemed to be tightly shut, and he had no consciousness as he lay in bed.

She said, “It’s… my honor to have these ingredients used for His Majesty’s health.”

Thinking of this, Shangguan Wan felt disdain in her heart.

Chu Liuyue took out a rectangular wooden box.

Shangguan Wan and Zuo Mingxi’s eyes lit up!

Then, Chu Liuyue opened the wooden box.

A Dancing Lotus was lying quietly within! The five translucent, pinkish-white petals had naturally closed up, and its stem was emerald green. It looked very lively as if it had just been plucked.

Chu Liuyue snapped her fingers, and Tuan Zi appeared on her shoulders.

Shangguan Wan looked up and saw the red-tailed phoenix rubbing against Chu Liuyue’s cheeks intimately, looking very obedient and wanting to flatter her.

Chu Liuyue seemed not to notice it as she touched Tuan Zi’s head. “Tuan Zi, can I borrow a drop of blood from you?”
