Heavenly Divine Doctor: Abandoned Concubine - Chapter 125 - Fear (1)

Chapter 125 – Fear (1)
Lu Lingzhi accompanied Mo Rongzhan back to the hunting ground. Ye Zhen’s fantastic dancing still reeling in the Emperor’s mind. Though Lu Lingzhi heard Tang Zhen say that Lu Yaoyao’s dancing was excellent before, he didn’t expect it to be so magnificent.

On the other hand, Lu Lingzhi was frustrated. He misplayed his cards, and now, Ye Zhen had finally caught the Emperor’s eyes.

If he knew that she would be as dazzling as spring, he would have definitely kept Mo Rongzhan from seeing her!

“Your Majesty, the little prince is still in the college.” Lu Lingzhi could not help but speak in a low voice when he saw Mo Rongzhan silent.

Mo Rongzhan’s indifferent voice soon came. “Let’s leave him be. With Tang Zhen by his side, nothing bad will struck him.”

“Of course, Your Majesty.” Lu Lingzhi agreed, but in his heart, he wondered why the Little Prince was so concerned about Ye Zhen. Heck, it undoubtedly became a convenience to Tang Zhen.

“Lingzhi, why did your sister decided to enter the medical academy?” Mo Rongzhan walked at a leisurely pace and asked casually.

Lu Lingzhi followed him slowly. He did not dare to walk too fast because his foot was yet to recover entirely. “Back to the Emperor, my Third aunt and uncle are proficient in medicine, and they greatly influenced my sister. She also has the talent, so she thought of taking the examination.”

“Is it because of her medicine that your injured foot is healing fast?” Mo Rongzhan raised his brows inquisitively and asked, gazing down at Lu Lingzhi’s foot.

In just a few days, Mo Rongzhan was surprised to see him walk, even though a bit unstable. Generally speaking, a fractured bone will take at least a month to recuperate.

“Strange to say, the first time I took the medicine she gave, it felt miraculous, but later on, its effects somewhat subsided.” Lu Lingzhi laughed, not knowing how Ye Zhen’s medicine didn’t work as well as the one she gave to Lu Xiangzhi.

Mo Rongzhan only nodded slightly, and the topic did not continue its course—favoring Lu Lingzhi. He did not want him to pay too much attention to Lu Yaoyao. Therefore, now that the Emperor no longer mentions her, Lu Lingzhi naturally followed suit.

Finally, he was able to breathe with ease—but this was only for a while, for the Emperor’s next words shook him once more.

“The first time I met Shuang’er, she said she had a childhood nickname.” Mo Rongzhan suddenly mentioned Lu Wushuang.

Nickname? What nickname is the Emperor talking about?

He has never heard the late Wang Fei Ye Zhen mention a nickname of hers before. Is there anything else he didn’t know?

“I have been away from the capital since I was a child. I always followed my father everywhere, so I am not certain of how my grandmother called the Wang Fei.”

Instantly, Mo Rongzhan’s lips thinned in a grimace. Lu Wushuang said that she has no nickname, but even if she has one, it can’t possibly be the same as her cousin Yao Yao.

“You once said that Shuang’er was once ill when she was still a child. Is that the reason why she forgot things?” Mo Rongzhan asked in a direct tone.

Lu Lingzhi’s heart was already ringing furiously with alarm bells.Why does the Emperor always ask about the past these days? Does he already suspect that Lu Wushuang is not his rescuer?

Before he handed the jade pendant over to Lu Wushuang, the Emperor had utterly believed that she was the savior he met during his childhood. How could he doubt it now?

“Yes, when my sister, the Wang Fei, was ten years old, she suffered fever and only got better after two days of treatment. But when she woke up, she forgot a lot about the past, so we called for a doctor who advised us to refrain in forcing her to remember her forgotten memories.” Lu Lingzhi spoke clearly, feeding Mo Rongzhan with his lies.

If Mo Rongzhan hadn’t found the torn purse in the woods and remembered that the little girl said her name was Yao Yao, he wouldn’t have doubted Lu Wushuang, and until now, he would have doted on her still.

Some part of him wanted to believe her. But once doubts arise in the heart and mind, more of it will follow.
