Unbridled Medical Expert Consort: Demon Prince, Be Good

Chapter 89a: Nangong Chen Turned Up Uninvited

No matter whether it’s the imperial inner palace or the imperial court during this period of time, what numerous imperial concubines and perhaps court officials were constantly talking about was the matter of Empress Wang’s pregnancy.

At present, Empress Wang had already found out that she’s pregnancy for some ten plus days. Ever since she visited the General’s Mansion and returned last time, she’d started to pay close attention. After one month, she really did conceive a dragon descendant smoothly. Even while ecstatic, she very much tried to conceal it while, but in the end, her eyebrows still exposed a joyful expression which was detected by the emperor.

This was the kind of happy occasion which even an emperor would be happy about. He immediately sent for imperial physicians to examine Empress Wang again. Sure enough, she was already with child for over one month.

Empress Wang kept in mind Luo Qing Luan’s warning and absolutely did not say that her health was poor and was only conceived after receiving treatment from a medical expert. She only said that the heavens had blessed her with joy and bestowed a dragon child upon her. She pushed everything to the will of heaven.

The emperor was extremely joyous and naturally wouldn’t investigate this matter, but Empress Wang knew in her heart what happened. In regards to Qing Luan and that master, she naturally was even more intensely grateful in her heart and told herself that in the future, if there’s a chance, she would repay them.

As for Fifth Prince’s side consort, Luo Qing Shuang coming to pay respects previously, Empress Wang didn’t mind. It’s only because Luo Qing Shuang was also carrying a child that there unavoidably was some common subject to talk about. Adding to that Luo Qing Shuang painstakingly ingratiating herself, each and every word that she spoke aimed at Empress Wang’s heart, therefore, she retained Luo Qing Shuang and straightforwardly had her stay in the palace, so that they could chat at any time.

Even though Empress Wang was careful, but as long as anything related to Luo Qing Luan was mentioned, a smile would spread across her face. Empress Wang subconsciously praised Luo Qing Luan again and again. The speaker spoke casually, but the listener paid careful attention. Luo Qing Shuang hated Luo Qing Luan to begin with. In this way, she hated her even deeper to the bone.

Before three days had passed, Luo Qing Shuang sent someone to report these details back to Fifth Prince’s Mansion. Nangong Chen also became even more interested in Luo Qing Luan. In the past, he was already surprised by Luo Qing Luan’s celestial like appearance being revealed. Nangong Chen, who regretted the decision he made to cancel the engagement, regretted it again. Even though he liked Luo Qing Shuang’s obedient and sweet and charming nature, how could it not be better if he obtained an additional pure, untainted by a speck of dust, Luo Qing Luan? In regards to two sisters sharing the same husband, this kind of matter, Nangong Chen revered it as a story that captured the imagination.

Harboring a specific objective, Nangong Chen arrived at the General’s Mansion in casual dress. He only brought one attendant. He even prevented the gatekeeper from announcing his arrival.

He especially chose a time when Luo Cheng wasn’t at home, so as to avoid being questioned about his other matters, such as the question of why he wanted to see Luo Qing Luan. Nangong Chen stealthily came to Luo Qing Luan’s little courtyard

Melodious zither music was floating upwards. It turned out that this was the time that Luo felt like she wanted to play a song today. The silvery sounds appeared lively and sweet-sounding, similar to the babble of creek water flowing, and also seemed like heavenly music aflutter. Listening, Nangong Chen became infatuated, staring fixedly at that absolutely gorgeous woman wearing a white dress in the distance. He watched with his soul gone.

Dai Yue listened with a stupidly blank expression like she always did, standing there completely frozen.

Once the song ended, Luo Qing Luan moved her fingers and nodded her head in satisfaction. She stood up.

“Dai Yue. Put the zither away properly.” It’s good enough to play for a short while. She was merely prompted by a sudden impulse once in a while to pass the time, that’s all. Even though she didn’t like playing the zither too much, since she had the ability, furthermore the tone wasn’t bad, she felt she might as well continue to preserve her skills, so as to avoid losing her touch.

Thinking about it, in the past, she even knew brush calligraphy, the game of go, chinese chess, art appraisal and so forth. These were basically everything that Ghost Doctor was good at. He naturally also taught everything to her, lock, stock and barrel. If she had time in the future, there’s no harm in her practicing them again. At the moment, she’s a bit hungry. She’s thinking of going out to eat something.

Dai Yue stared blankly before regaining her senses, but appeared somewhat reluctant to stop. When she picked up the zither, she even fiddled with the strings a little bit, appearing to be very curious. “My Lady, your playing is really pleasant to listen to, much better than the way that Miss Yuchi plays.” These words were not meant to flatter, she felt that her mistress was good at everything.

Luo Qing Luan smiled slightly. “Dai Yue, if you like to play the zither, I’ll teach you next time, alright?”

“Really?” Dai Yue was happy to hear this, but in a moment, became sad again. “My Lady, let’s forget it. Why would a servant know how to play the zither and stuff? These are all things young ladies do. I’m just a servant.”

“What servant or whatever. You’re one of my people. If I say it’s possible, then it’s possible.” Luo Qing Luan didn’t think in terms of a servant’s low class. As long as Dai Yue wanted to, even if it’s teaching her play the zither, paint, or simple medical knowledge, everything’s possible.

“Then I’m truly grateful to My Lady......”

Dai Yue had not finished s. peaking when the words of praise sounded from a not so distant place, “Sure enough, Younger Sister Qing Luan is kindhearted. You’re so good towards your servant. This Prince admires that very much.”

Once she heard this unharmonious voice, so familiar to her, without turning her head, Luo Qing Luan already guessed who it was.

“Elder Sister is not here. Has Fifth Prince taken a wrong turn?” Luo Qing Luan asked unenthusiastically, frowning slightly. She had never had a favorable impression of Nangong Chen. Even if he was the Fifth Prince of Western Chu, she only felt that this person was nauseating and vulgar, unbearably lascivious. It’s no wonder that the current emperor didn’t like him. It wasn’t without cause. Recalling the scene after the new year of him and Luo Qing Shuang being together, she was simply nauseated enough to throw up.

Even though this man before him was rather handsome and was even wearing a smile, a polite and amiable appearance, she still only felt disgust.
