The Doctress with Healing Hands: Your Highness, Please Behave Yourself

Chapter 37

Get out of the Palace to Sacrifice

“Don’t worry, your subordinate will ensure the completion of the mission!”

At the same time, in the Palace of Sunrise, Bai Qingqing, who was helping Zhao Yuchen to tie his belt, accidentally broke an emerald jade pedant .

“Clap!” With a crisp sound, the piece of jade fell to the ground and split apart, looking terrible .

Bai Qingqing’s heart trembled and her face suddenly turned pale .

As soon as she was about to bend down to pick up the pieces of the jade, she was stopped by Zhao Yuchen’s long arm .

“Don’t move, be careful not to cut your finger . Leave it to the maidservant . ”

Bai Qingqing looked up slowly and said uneasily, “Today is the sacrificial ceremony, I always feel that something unpredictable will happen . . . ”

“Qingqing, you’ve been so tense lately that you haven’t slept well for several nights in a row . That’s why you suffer from the symptoms of worrying about gain and loss . ”

Bai Qingqing shook her head . “I know I’m really over-nervous, but as long as Zhao Yuting doesn’t leave, my heart won’t settle . He suddenly returned here this time, and he must be scheming some unknown plot . ”

Zhao Yuchen laughed and consoled her, “Don’t you think you are increasing the strength of others and destroying your prestige?”

Bai Qingqing looked at him sadly and said in a delicate voice, “Who am I worried about on earth?”

“Well, I know you’re worrying about me, my wife . You’ve worked so hard . I promise your husband will go safely and return safely . Is that all right?”

“Who is your wife?”

Zhao Yuchen pulled her into his arms and whispered in her ear, “Didn’t you promise me that after the ceremony, you will be carried into my house by me in a big sedan chair with eight carriages, and have a baby with me as my wife?”

“Well, when did I say I was going to have a baby with you?”

Annoyed by Zhao Yuchen, the uneasiness accumulated in Bai Qingqing’s heart faded away .

The two shared the intimate time for a long period . It was not until the Grand Eunuch Li told him that the time was approaching and that he should prepare to leave that Zhao Yuchen reluctantly kissed the lovely Bai Qingqing on her forehead .

Before leaving, he urged her not to step out of the palace halfway before he came back . If anything happened, she should just send the flunkeys to do it . After the sacrificial ceremony was over, he would come back soon .

Around the palace he planted a number of inside experts to protect her, that was, to avoid someone being unfavorable to Qingqing .

Although Zhao Yuchen appeared unconcerned on the surface, his heart could not help but guard against Zhao Yuting, a conspirator, secretly making bad things happen .

After all matters arranged, Zhao Yuchen, accompanied by Ming Hao and others, finally started the journey of sacrifice with the little emperor and others .

It was customary for the royal family to hold sacrificial ceremonies at the Imperial Ancestral Temple at the end of each year .

This was the rule observed by the old ancestors of the Great Yan Kingdom . In addition to the Royal family, ministers above the fourth ranking in the palace must also go with them .

Although it was well known that most of the troops accompanied were carefully trained by the court, Bai Qingqing, who remained in the palace, still was inflicted by a vague sense of worry .

She always felt that something bad would happen at the sacrificial ceremony, but she could not predict what would happen .

Speaking of it, all should blame Zhao Yuting .

She thought that the resentment of that year would disappear with Su Ruoqing’s death, but God gave her a chance to rebirth and at the same time, along with the troubles of the past life had reappeared .

The waiting process was long and boring .

Bai Qingqing spent the whole day in anxiety and uneasiness .

Several times, she couldn’t restrain her agitation and almost rushed out of the palace gate to explore the Imperial Ancestral Temple .

The Grand Eunuch Li, of course, was desperate to stop her, and patiently said that the Emperor Emeritus and the little emperor would return to the palace safely and soundly .

Just after noon, Bai Qingqing, who was drinking tea in the Palace of Sunrise, heard a rush of footsteps outside the door .

The sound of the footstep stopped when it stayed outside . It did not take long for the sound of the footstep to fade away from clear to inaudible .

Her eyebrows frowned and a bad feeling came into her mind .

She put down the tea and came to the door . Then she saw the Grand Eunuch Li telling something to several eunuchs in a low voice .

“Grand Eunuch Li!”

Her voice startled Li Dafa .

“What happened? Who on earth has just been here?”

Li Dafa hastily shook his head and denied, “No one has ever been here . Did Bai Guniang misunderstand anything?”

Bai Qingqing, who was such a girl seeking truth, seeing Li Dafa refused to tell the truth, she immediately flew into a rage . “Li Dafa, if you don’t tell me the truth, I’ll rush out of the palace and go to the Imperial Ancestral Temple to inquire about the situation in person . ”

Li Dafa was shocked by her resolute expression . He believed that if he did not tell the truth, he would really piss her off .

With a bitter face, he said, “I won’t hide it from you . Someone did come just now . ”

“Who was it?”

“It was the guard Ming . ”

The guard Ming in Li Dafa’s words was naturally Zhao Yuchen’s trusted subordinate Ming Hao .

Bai Qingqing’s eyes were brightened and she said eagerly, “Are they back?”

“Uh . . . ”

Bai Qingqing’s heart sank sharply when she saw the other party’s hesitation to speak . “What happened, tell me . ”

“The guard said, Emperor . . . is missing!”

“What?”

The unexpected news really caught Bai Qingqing by surprise .

She always thought that the real person Zhao Yuting had to deal with was Zhao Yuchen, so she never worried about the safety of the little emperor from beginning to end .

At this time, she heard from the Grand Eunuch Li that the emperor was missing . She felt her head was heavy and her body was shaky . Before Li Dafa could finish speaking, she fell into a coma .

No one knew how long it took for Bai Qingqing to open her eyes slowly .

The first one that came to her sight was no one else but Zhao Yuchen, who was so worried .

“Qingqing, are you awake?”

After a while, Bai Qingqing came back to herself . She struggled to sit up from the bed, grabbed his arm tightly, and said sadly, “Grand Eunuch Li said Rui was missing . ”

Zhao Yuchen’s expression was very livid at this point . He thought that he would not make any mistakes in the sacrificial ceremonies . As a result, he failed to prevent danger .

On the way back, Zhao Rui suddenly said that he had a stomachache . When he was waited by several eunuchs to use the toilet, he was secretly plotted against and all the eunuchs died, while Zhao Rui disappeared suddenly .

Seeing Zhao Yuchen did not deny her doubts, Bai Qingqing’s heart immediately fell down to the bottom . Rui was a piece of flesh on her body . Now there was no information about him, which was more painful than killing herself .

“Qingqing, don’t worry . Maybe things aren’t as bad as you think . I’ve ordered all four city gates to be blocked . Before I find Rui, people outside can’t come in and people inside can’t go out . Unless they want to destroy themselves, I promise those who dare to hurt Rui can’t escape even if they grew a pair of wings . ”

“What if they even don’t care about themselves?”

Before Zhao Yuchen answered this question, Ming Hao’s voice suddenly came out of the door . “Lord Seventh, my subordinates just received a letter, which indicated that it should be personally opened by Bai Guniang . "

“Come in and show me . ”

A short time later, Ming Hao delivered the letter, but on the way it was robbed by Zhao Yuchen . He unfolded the letter in front of Bai Qingqing, and saw a few words scribbled on it: Three days later, see you in the old place of Red-crowned Crane Manor . If you don’t want the little emperor to have an accident, you should remember to go alone and don’t bring any soldier .

Although Zhao Yuting, king of Fengyang, was thought to be the initiator of the kidnapping by Zhao Yuchen, he was still furious when he saw the letter .

That bastard really let Qingqing go to meet him alone . With that request alone, he could not tolerate it .

“This appointment, I accept!”

After reading the letter, Bai Qingqing almost didn’t think about it and made the decision immediately .

“Qingqing, the Ninth shows no good intentions . If you go alone, it is clear that you will get into the trap set by him . ”

Bai Qingqing said coldly, “Rui is in his hands now . Do you think we have other choices?”

“Now that the trading place is clear, I will send someone to the Red-crowned Crane Manor personally to rescue Rui . ”

“No!”

Bai Qingqing shook her head resolutely . “I can’t risk Rui’s life . Even if I knew it was a trap, I would go to the danger to see what the Zhao Yuting was up to before I could make sure that Rui was safe and sound . ”

“Qingqing . . . ”

Seeing him wanting to stop her, Bai Qingqing suddenly said, “This is the last time I ask you a favor . After Rui’s affair is solved, no matter what kind of resentment you and I have had, from then on, it will be cleared up and never be mentioned again!”
