Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot

Chapter 60 - 60 60 Feng Bailings Grand Gift

?Chapter 60: Chapter 60: Feng Bailing’s Grand Gift Chapter 60: Chapter 60: Feng Bailing’s Grand Gift Upon witnessing this scene, Feng Wan was utterly dumbfounded.

The Commandery Princess’ movements were frivolous, just like those of a patron in a brothel, casually pinching a girl’s hand while enjoying a song.

She treated the Prince like a brothel courtesan!

“Prince, you must push her hand away quickly! Please don’t be polite!”

Feng Wan silently screamed on the inside.

Dugu Wu stared at Feng Bailing’s hand; the hand was small and soft, akin to a cat’s paw, playfully scratching about.

“Why are you staring at me? I have a gift for you.”

Feng Bailing noticed that Dugu Wu had prepared a wheelchair, but she thought that using a wheelchair would not be beneficial to his recovery, so she had prepared an additional, special gift for him.

Saying so, she returned to the horse carriage and brought down a pair of crutches.

“These are crutches, they can even extend—very portable. I give them to you.”

The crutches Feng Bailing offered to Dugu Wu were made of titanium alloy.

She had indeed paid five thousand taels for an emergency kit, but considering that helping Dugu Wu recover sooner would also allow her to extricate herself earlier, she still decided to part with this significant sum.

Dugu Wu was a bit surprised; Great Chu did have crutches, but they were made of wood or bamboo, which were not very sturdy.

The pair of crutches given by Feng Bailing seemed to be made of metal, yet they were incredibly lightweight. Dugu Wu tried them and found them extremely flexible, lovingly unable to let them go for a while.

“Barely passable.”

Dugu Wu murmured in a low voice, using the crutches to walk forward, which made moving around much more convenient.

“Has Prince Wu also come to visit the Empress Dowager?”

Dongfang Lianhua’s impression of Dugu Wu was growing fonder and fonder, seeing the “interaction” between the two as a young couple cultivating their affection.

Prince Shun, the father of Dugu Wu, was the actual son of the Empress Dowager, while Emperor Yongye was also her son in name, though he was fostered by her. Thus, Dugu Wu was the Empress Dowager’s legitimate grandson.

Prince Shun had passed away at a young age, and before Dugu Wu could officially recognize his lineage and return to Prince Shun’s Mansion, he had lived with the Empress Dowager for a couple of years. It was also due to the Empress Dowager’s strong support that he could successfully claim his heritage. His relationship with the Empress Dowager was closer than that of the other Princes.

“The Empress Dowager has been unwell lately, so I came to see her.”

Dugu Wu had just seen Dongfang Lianhua a few days earlier and felt that she was somewhat different from when she was in the Princess’ Mansion, seemingly younger. Unlike regular people who cared about outward appearances, he didn’t inquire further.

After entering spring, the palace was blooming with flowers, and the growth of plants and trees was lush, especially inside Noble Princess Consort Xiao’s Qingluan Palace, where peach and apricot trees were particularly thriving.

With a smash, a fine cloisonné vase was shattered to pieces by Noble Princess Consort Xiao.

“Pah! A foster daughter wishing to become the legitimate First Princess Consort of my royal son? The Princess’ Mansion can keep dreaming its grand dreams.”

Noble Princess Consort Xiao’s beautiful face contorted with rage.

Nalan Yan’er sat beside her. She wore light makeup today and looked a little pale, her brows showing a hint of frailty, reminiscent of a sickly Xi Shi, eliciting sympathy from others.

Last night, when she received the news about the Seventh Prince, Noble Princess Consort Xiao wished she could have grown wings immediately to fly to the Princess’ Mansion and tear apart the shameless mother-daughter pair of the Feng Family.

The Empress Dowager had been seriously ill recently, leaving the physicians at a loss, which troubled the Emperor. She did not dare to bother him at this critical time, so she had no choice but to send Nalan Yan’er.

Little did she know it would end this way.

“Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince was indeed presumptuous this time. I don’t know what methods Feng Bailing employed to leave Feng Xiangxue’s face utterly disfigured. If he does not marry Feng Xiangxue, I fear the people of the Princess’ Mansion will not let the matter rest.”

Nalan Yan’er sighed.

She had earlier suspected that Dongfang Li had been poisoned, but after he returned to the Qian Residence for examination, not a trace of poison was found.

Where would she know that the poison administered to Dongfang Li was the unique poison of the Evil of Constellation, which had an effect lasting only one hour. After that time, it would vanish without a trace, and even the Imperial Physicians would not be able to detect it.

“Reporting to Noble Princess Consort Xiao, Princess Yong’an and Princess Shengping have entered the Imperial Palace and are heading towards Ciyuan Palace.”

A young palace maid came forward to report.

“How cunning of Dongfang Lianhua, daring to come to the Imperial Palace to stir up trouble. A princess out of favor, and she still wants to bully us, mother and son?”

Noble Princess Consort Xiao was furious.

“Your Majesty, Prince Wu is accompanying them.”

The maid’s words immediately caused Nalan Yan’er’s brows to furrow.

Shouldn’t Ah Wu be seeking Feng Bailing to settle scores? Why would he accompany Feng Bailing to the palace?

“Your Majesty, do not be angry. Although Feng Xiangxue is just an adopted daughter, she is talented in all six arts and is known as a gifted woman in the Yuxiu Academy, much more outstanding than Feng Bailing. If Your Majesty feels that she is not of high enough status for your brother, you could make her a concubine, and if you fancy a noble girl for him in the future, it will not be too late to establish her as the First Princess Consort.”

Nalan Yan’er spoke softly and gently.

Noble Princess Consort Xiao found these words pleasing to the ear.

Dongfang Li had been causing quite a fuss lately, and last time he even managed to offend Emperor Yongye in the Imperial Palace. She had warned him not to get involved with Feng Bailing anymore.

But he wouldn’t listen. Perhaps finding a woman to keep him in line would be a good method.

Moreover, Dongfang Li had always been quite good to Feng Xiangxue; accepting her as a concubine was something he could agree to.

“Yan’er, you are wise. I surely cannot allow the Princess’ Mansion to make accusations first. I will go with you to Ciyuan Palace now.”

Inside Ciyuan Palace, with the Empress Dowager suffering unbearable abdominal pain and no disease being identified, Emperor Yongye’s face was dark with anger.

A group of Imperial Physicians knelt on the ground, trembling in fear.

“A bunch of useless people! The Empress Dowager has been sick for several days, and you have come up with no solutions. What use is it for me to keep you around? Drag them out and behead them!”

Though not the Empress Dowager’s biological son, Emperor Yongye had been raised by her hand. His birth mother was of lowly status, so it was only because of the Empress Dowager’s patronage, along with Prince Shun’s abdication that he was able to ascend to the throne.

After the death of Prince Shun, Emperor Yongye always treated the Empress Dowager as his birth mother, with great filial piety.

Since the Spring Banquet, the Empress Dowager had been unwell, first with minor abdominal pain, then confined to bed and unable to get up. It had already been several days, and the Imperial Hospital had prescribed one medicine after another, all without effect.

“Your Majesty, this servant has a prescription to present to Your Majesty.”

Li Qing saw the Emperor in urgent need and, after hesitating for a moment, stepped forward to report.

“You have a method, why didn’t you mention it sooner? Bring it out and let the Imperial Hospital take a look.”

Emperor Yongye was overjoyed, and Li Qing immediately took out the medicine given by Feng Bailing.

The Imperial Physicians looked at it and shook their heads.

“Reporting to Mr. Li, the ingredients in this medicine are all meant to clear heat and detoxify. With the Empress Dowager’s abdominal pain, taking this medicine will do no good.”

“Your Majesty, the medical team has run out of ideas, and the Empress Dowager is in agony. This old servant sought this medicine. The doctor said that after three days of taking this medicine, the Empress Dowager will recover.”

Li Qing had just finished speaking when a cold laugh was heard. Noble Princess Consort Xiao, dressed to the nines, walked in with Nalan Yan’er.

“Chief Li, the doctor you’re referring to wouldn’t happen to be Feng Bailing, would it? This princess heard that you visited the Princess’ Mansion last night. How bold of you, Li Qing; what kind of person is Feng Bailing? Barely literate, and you dare to have the Empress Dowager take her medicine!”
