Chapter 91: The Taming Of The Ghost Doctor (5)

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mister Liu did not dare express any form of dissatisfaction at the Ghost Doctor's words. He could only respond respectfully, "As you wish, Ghost Doctor."

"Little girl," The Ghost Doctor turned to look at Gu Ruoyun, her expression carrying a hint of flattery, "How did you manage to refine that Beauty Rejuvenation Pill? Can you teach me?"

At the beginning, the Ghost Doctor was only willing to listen to Gu Ruoyun, simply because of the oath she had to make. However, once she knew that Gu Ruoyun was indeed the one who had refined the Beauty Rejuvenation pill, her attitude completely changed. She did not even dare to have the slightest trace of disrespect in her voice.

Gu Ruoyun, on the other hand, had admitted to refining the Beauty Rejuvenation Pill on her own, simply to make the Ghost Doctor obey her more willingly!

"About that… I’ll have to ask my teacher for his opinion."

Gu Ruoyun rubbed her nose. Of course, this teacher was completely imaginary, but the Ghost Doctor did not suspect anything at all.

Based on Gu Ruoyun’s age, how could she have refined a legendary pill, if she did not have a teacher? The Ghost Doctor thought. Furthermore, her teacher is probably an old demon who had lived for many, many years…

"How about this then... Accept me as your disciple, little girl. You should feel proud of having the Ghost Doctor as your disciple." The Ghost Doctor chuckled. Clearly, in her eyes, Gu Ruoyun was like a juicy slab of meat.

Gu Ruoyun glanced at the Ghost Doctor’s smiling face, which was filled with flattery. She then shrugged and said, "Your medical skills aren’t good enough. You're not worthy to become my disciple."

If this had come out from any other person's mouth, the Ghost Doctor would surely have snorted in disdain but coming from her? She was a genius who could refine pills! The Ghost Doctor's medical skills were indeed paled in comparison to her.

After giving her answer, Gu Ruoyun bid farewell to Mister Liu, "My business is done here. Thank you for your guidance today, farewell."

She then turned and headed towards the door.

Upon seeing that Gu Ruoyun was about to disappear, the Ghost Doctor no longer cared about her act. She hurriedly ran after her.

"Wait for me, little master! Please, wait!"

...

Meanwhile, in the imperial courtyard, Imperial Concubine Ling was relaxing on a chaise lounge. She then turned towards a palace maid beside her and asked, "Where did His Imperial Highness go to after the dismissal of the morning court today?"

The palace maid replied respectfully, "It seems that the fourth prince of Vermillion Bird Country has come for a visit, so His Imperial Highness went to give him a welcome."

"The fourth prince of Vermillion Bird Country?" Imperial Concubine Ling frowned. Suddenly, a voice was heard from outside her door.

"Imperial Concubine, the second granddaughter of the Ling family, Ling Yu, is requesting for an audience."

"Xiao Ling Yu?" Imperial Concubine Ling rubbed her temples, feeling a headache, "That girl loves to cause trouble and has already caused no small amount of trouble for the Ling family. I wonder why she's here today… Let her in, servants."

Just as she gave the order, a fragrant breeze that came with the sound of loud sobbing blew in from outside the hall.

Ling Yu threw herself into Imperial Concubine Ling’s embrace, and cried out miserably, "Aunty! You have to bring justice for Grandfather and Brother!"

"What’s happened to your grandfather and your brother?" Imperial Concubine Ling asked as she frowned elegantly.

His Imperial Highness did not like his concubines to ask about matters outside the palace. The moment they entered the palace would be the same moment they severed any ties they had to the outside world. No news from outside the palace would ever reach her ears…

Thus, Imperial Concubine Ling still did not know of what had befallen the Ling family.

"Aunt, Grandfather is dead because of Gu Ruoyun! She's even caused my brother to become a cripple. He was even taken away by the Luo family!"

"What did you say?"

Imperial Concubine Ling rose from her seat immediately, and tightly clenched her fists. She slowly asked, "Is this true?"

"It’s all true," Ling Yu cried pitifully, "Gu Ruoyun allowed someone on her side to kill Grandfather. She's even crippled Brother herself. However, Second Granduncle is refusing to avenge Grandfather and Brother. After Grandfather passed away, he took full control of the family and has even sent people to watch over me so that I wouldn’t enter the palace to inform you about this. I had a hard time escaping the spies he had and running here to you."


Chapter 92: Ling Yu's Greediness (1)

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Imperial Concubine Ling slowly shut her eyes, her fists began to clench tighter and tighter as her elegant face unconsciously began to twist in a horrible manner. After a long pause, her eyes finally opened and she let out a breath of air.

"The Luo family… and Gu Ruoyun… I have a whole new level of respect for you now! Despite your knowledge that my father had a daughter as powerful as me, you still dared to cause him harm! Very well, don’t blame me for taking revenge for my father's sake!"

"Aunty."

Ling Yu lifted the gaze of her tear-stained eyes and looked at Imperial Concubine Ling pitifully.

"Yu’er, go send the message of my imperial decree. Gu Ruoyun is to present herself before me!"

Imperial Concubine Ling coldly declared.

General Luo was one of the men whom His Royal Highness relied heavily upon in the imperial court and while Imperial Concubine Ling was indeed a favored concubine, she would not be able to take down a general who had been granted great authority by the Emperor Himself. Gu Ruoyun, on the other hand, was different. Although the Hundred Herb Hall was strong and influential, she was merely a little apprentice. Shopkeeper Zhao of the Hundred Herb Hall was a clever man; he would never make an enemy of the entire Azure Dragon Country over an apprentice.

"Yes, Aunty."

Ling Yu was overjoyed, and a hint of viciousness flashed through her eyes.

"This time, let’s see how you’re going to survive this, Gu Ruoyun! Even if you had a hundred lives, they won’t save you now! As long as I have my the imperial decree from my Aunt, the Hundred Herb Hall would be mine if I so desired, what more a little apprentice like you."

It was clear that in Ling Yu’s heart, as powerful as the Hundred Herb Hall may be, it was only a little merchant shop that was powerless against the imperial powers.

In the imperial study.

Zuo Shangchen lazed on a sedan, his expression sleepy and insubordinate. His almond-shaped eyes carried a hint of a seductive smile and he could not even be bothered to look at the Emperor properly, who was sitting on the throne.

"Zuo Shangchen, is this your idea of proper etiquette as the fourth prince of the Vermillion Bird Country?" Leng Yanfeng knit his eyebrows, his somber face holding cold and clear disdain.

Upon hearing this, Zuo Shangchen smiled.

Nothing on earth could be compared with his magnificent smile. Not only were the women charmed, even men could not help but hold their breath in amazement.

"Your Royal Highness, I am far too used to doing as I like so I don't understand ceremonial etiquette. If I am unfit to speak with the Emperor of your country because of this, then I will take my leave."

After he spoke, Zuo Shangchen’s sedan got ready to leave when the Emperor, Leng Wujing, suddenly spoke up to stop him.

"Halt!"

"Why? You were the ones who are saying that I had no understanding of proper etiquette. Don’t tell me that you’re going to stop me from leaving after saying such things?"

Zuo Shangchen waved his feather fan and replied with a smile.

Leng Wujing narrowed His eyes. He had always thought that He could see through anyone, but since the beginning, He could not read this mischievous, smiling man at all…

It was as if he was a puzzle, filled with danger, a danger that filled him with fear…

That was right. Fear!

Even Leng Wujing didn’t know the reason for this. To actually think that even as the ruler of a country, He would actually be afraid of a young man that was only in his twenties.

"Fourth Prince, let’s be straightforward about this. Why have you come all the way from Vermillion Bird Country to Azure Dragon Country?"

"Oh," Zuo Shangchen caressed his chin and smiled lazily, "For one person."

"Who?"

"Gu Ruoyun!"

Gu Ruoyun? Leng Wujing was stunned. Gu Ruoyun... This name had been appearing quite often of late. Who would have thought that Zuo Shangchen would have come all the way here, just for her?

"Hmph!"

Leng Yanfeng scoffed, and replied expressionlessly, "Zuo Shangchen, as far as I know, you aren’t even acquainted with Gu Ruoyun."

"We didn’t know each other before," Zuo Shangchen raised his eyebrows, "However, I’ve long heard of her name. I came from far away just to meet her. It is laughable that such an incomparable genius would actually be mistaken as a good-for-nothing by every one of you. If I hadn't come here by coincidence, I wouldn’t have known that such a talented person would actually exist in this world."
