Medical Princess

Chapter 1267 Whose Son Are You?

“Chu Qing, don’t you think you overestimate yourself? How dare you plot against my wife?” Chu Liuchen withdrew his hand and slowly took the handkerchief from Xiao Xuanzi, his penetrating eyes deep and cold.

“Chu Liuchen, what do you mean?” Chu Qing gritted his teeth, and the blue veins on his forehead stood out. Suddenly, he stood up and clenched his fists in a growl.

He feared that he would ultimately become out of control and give Chu Liuchen two punches. He would be in serious trouble if he injured the invalid’s frail body.

“Chu Qing, what do you think will happen if I kill you?” Chu Liuchen narrowed his eyes and curled his mouth corners with sarcasm.

“How dare you!” Chu Qing snarled.

“Why don’t I dare to do that? Are you Uncle the Emperor’s son? Or do you think Imperial Grandmother values you?” Chu Liuchen mercilessly destroyed Chu Qing’s confidence. “You believe you can get everything you want as the deceased emperor’s son. How could you be so foolish to believe that? It may be inconvenient for my Uncle the Emperor to deal with you, but I don’t care. I am also the deceased emperor’s son. Moreover, I am his eldest legitimate son, but you… are a consort’s son of unknown origin.”

“Nonsense. We are both the deceased emperor’s sons. What right do you have to humiliate me?” Chu Qing was unable to restrain his anger.

“The sons of the deceased emperor?” Chu Liuchen slightly narrowed his eyes. This made his eyes appear even more chilling with intense killing intent.

Two guards suddenly appeared at the door. They were dressed in black armored suits, eying Chu Qing as if he were dead.

“What… what do you want to do?” Chu Qing was so scared that he took two steps back, and his face immediately turned pale. He had thought that Chu Liuchen was trying to frighten him. But now, he didn’t dare to go against him. The murderous look in Chu Liuchen’s eyes was apparent. “Don’t mess around, Chu Liuchen. I am your younger brother, your biological younger brother. We both are the deceased emperor’s descendants. If… if I’m put to death, even the Emperor will find it hard to explain my death to the world.”

“It can’t be hard for Uncle the Emperor to face the world. Instead, he will be happy to see us fight fiercely against each other. After your death, I will have to take the blame. He won’t be in a difficult situation at all. I’m in poor health anyway. Uncle the Emperor and Imperial Grandmother have been very good to me. I can repay their kindness to me with it. Besides, they would take good care of my wife after I die.”

Chu Liuchen flashed him a smile. In Chu Qing’s eyes, only a crazy man would smile in such a situation.

Chu Qing was scared, absolutely terrified. He trembled and stepped back, hiding behind the chair. He took a deep breath and suppressed the shock in his heart. “Eldest Brother, let’s… talk without heat. We are blood-related brothers. How can we cause death to each other? Our father… he will criticize us and turn in his grave… This… this is an unbearable unfilial act.”

“Father? How long has the deceased emperor been dead? I have lived long enough and have no intention of living. You happen to provoke me today and even dare to plot against my wife. Then, don’t blame me for being rude.” Chu Liuchen stood up with a smile and took a step forward.

Chu Qing took a step backward and almost fell into a panic. “Eldest Brother, don’t be like this. We are brothers. How could I plot against you? There must be a mistake.”

Chu Qing was about to cry. He didn’t expect Chu Liuchen to have gone entirely mad. He was indeed crazy. He had just started taking advantage of Princess Chen, and Chu Liuchen was out of his mind. If he had known that Chu Liuchen cared so much about Princess Chen, Chu Qing would have provoked Chu Liuchen foolishly.

“It doesn’t matter. I kill you, but maybe Uncle the Emperor and Imperial Grandmother will leave the case unsettled. After all, they have experienced many difficulties raising me for so many years,” Chu Liuchen said with an increasingly gentle smile.

Chu Qing was scared. He had never been so angry with Mo Qiuyi. What kind of idea did she offer? It even drove Chu Liuchen crazy! At this moment, he didn’t want to think about anything. He only wanted to leave as soon as possible and never come to Prince Chen’s Mansion again.

While maintaining vigilance against Chu Liuchen, Chu Qing stepped back to the door, not daring to stimulate Chu Liuchen significantly. “Eldest Brother, I’m wrong. It’s my fault. I’ll go back and slap that bitch twice. How audacious was she to frame up Princess Chen? I was not very strict with her. Eldest Brother, we are connected by blood. Are you really going to hurt me?”

“Connected by blood? Are you sure?” Chu Liuchen suddenly stopped and squinted at Chu Qing.

It looked like the gaze of death. Chu Qing’s heart trembled again, and he said subconsciously, “Eldest Brother, Prince Chen, I am your brother for real…”

“No, you are not!” Chu Liuchen smiled, but this time his smile was gloomy. “Ask your mother: whose son you are…”

“Okay… okay. I’ll ask her right now.” No matter what Chu Liuchen said, Chu Qing did not dare to disobey him now. Everything he said was right. He retreated to the door while answering, but the two guards just looked at him coldly. They would not take action without Chu Liuchen’s instructions. Chu Qing was instantly relieved at this thought.

As soon as he retreated to the door, he lifted his long robe, turned around, and strode downstairs. When he ran downstairs and saw his servant standing there, he held the pillar and gasped for breath as if he had escaped from death.

“Your highness, you… what’s wrong with you?” The servant ran over to help him up in a hurry and asked anxiously. His master had been very calm when he went upstairs. But now, he looked so scared that his face looked ghastly pale. His clothes were in a mess after such a short time.

He didn’t seem to see Prince Chen. Instead, he was in a mess as if being robbed.

Chu Qing gasped aloud and looked up, only to meet a pair of icy eyes. The handsome eyes seemed fathomless because of the ruthless and dark look. They looked like two bottomless pools. Seeing that Chu Qing was looking at him, Chu Liuchen smiled. Such a smile looked a little gentle and graceful in the sun.

However, Chu Qing’s legs almost went limp because of such a smile. He pushed the servant away and staggered out. He didn’t dare to stay here any longer for fear that Chu Liuchen would kill him regardless of the consequences.

If Chu Liuchen took his life away, Chu Qing didn’t know if the Emperor would punish him. But the Emperor and the Empress Dowager doted on Chu Liuchen. Knowing this, Chu Qing felt they would not punish Chu Liuchen even if he killed him.

Chu Liuchen leaned lazily against the building railings and watched Chu Qing fleeing in a panic, revealing a noble and complacent smile. The man with crazy killing intent before Chu Qing had long disappeared.

With a wave of his hand, the two guards left.

Xiao Xuanzi came over with a broad smile and said, “Your highness, Commandery Prince Qing is half dead with fright.”

From a distance, they could see Chu Qing running out desperately. One after another, servants in the mansion stepped aside to avoid him. Watching Chu Qing run away wildly, they were stunned. “What’s wrong with Commandery Prince Qing? Why does he look so scared?”

“Where is Princess Chen?” Chu Liuchen asked idly.

“Her Highness is making clothes, saying she wants to make a set for you,” said Xiao Xuanzi.

Chu Liuchen pulled his sleeves and extended his hands to let Xiao Xuanzi have a look. “Sleeves of my many clothes are short. I seem to have grown much taller.”

After saying that, he got up lazily and walked into the study.

Xiao Xuanzi blinked his eyes and finally understood after thinking for a while. Immediately, he said, “Master, I’ll report this to Her Highness and set her heart at rest. Princess Chen will make a lot of clothes for you.”

His master had not grown taller at all. He had just heard that Princess Chen was making clothes and wanted her to make a few more sets for him. However, his master was unwilling to say it. As his personal eunuch, it was his duty to see Princess Chen and let her know.

“Go ahead!” Chu Liuchen’s indifferent voice came from the study.

Xiao Xuanzi was secretly happy. “My master is like this. Well, he has put on several countenances in such a short time.” He ran away swiftly to the inner court.

Shao Wanru was indeed making clothes for Chu Liuchen. A set of royal blue clothes had not yet finished. After hearing Xiao Xuanzi’s report, she couldn’t help smiling lightly. Mo Qiuyi got some dirty tricks up her sleeve: she wanted to hype up the issue about Shao Jie’er. But unlucky for her, Shao Wanru was never vulnerable, though she was reluctant to confront Mo Qiuyi.

But since she couldn’t avoid coming into conflict with Mo Qiuyi, she might as well confront her.

Mo Qiuyi was not easy to deal with, nor was Princess Yuyan.

“Xiao Xuanzi, I heard Princess Yuyan went to the Commandery Prince Qing’s Mansion?”

“Yes, she did. She had a good talk with Consort Dowager Qing. The Miss of Mo’s Mansion also went there, but they didn’t meet each other.” Xiao Xuanzi knew what Shao Wanru meant. These things were confidential. But his master had asked him to say anything Princess Chen wanted to learn about.

“Can you find a way to let Princess Yuyan go there again?” Shao Wanru raised her eyebrows and said. Mo Qiuyi thought it was easy to become the legal wife of Commandery Prince Qing. Then, she decided to find something for her to do.

Mo Qiuyi seemed to be the key to many things, and so did Princess Yuyan. Shao Wanru was curious: which one of them would win at last? They were answers to many things. Who would have thought that? The key to some issues was not the few Princes but the two seemingly inconspicuous women.

“I know.” Xiao Xuanzi nodded with a smile and secretly mourned for the Commandery Prince Qing’s Mansion. How could anyone offend Princess Chen and Prince Chen without paying a heavy price…

Chu Qing fled to his home in a panic. Returning to the Commandery Prince Qing’s Mansion, he rushed to the inner court in a rage. At this moment, Consort Dowager Qing and Mo Qiuyi were still waiting for his good news. Seeing him coming in, Mo Qiuyi came forward and greeted him before the others. She asked in a sweet voice, “Your highness, you’re back. What happened? Did Prince Chen say anything?”

In Mo Qiuyi’s mind, it was not a big deal.

“Now look what you’ve done!!” Chu Qing was angry and ashamed, burning with rage. When he saw Mo Qiuyi, he was even angrier. When he ran out of Prince Chen’s Mansion, the servants there looked at him as if he were a fool. Thinking that Chu Liuchen almost killed him, he could no longer be as good-tempered as before. As such, he violently pushed her back!

Mo Qiuyi was violently pushed onto the door frame. She covered the back of her head in great pain and almost couldn’t speak. Her face became ashen, and she looked like she was about to faint.

“What’s the matter? Can’t you talk nicely?” Consort Dowager Qing said, and her face fell. Her innermost hatred toward Mo Qiuyi was one thing, and Chu Qing pushing Mo Qiuyi before her was quite another. Consort Dowager Qing was keen to get the force behind Mo Qiuyi. Thus, how could she let him do that?

No matter how much she disliked Mo Qiuyi, she had to keep the feeling in her heart.

“Mother, it’s all her fault. I almost couldn’t come back!” Chu Qing came to his senses at this time. Instead of going forward to push Mo Qiuyi, he pointed at her and snarled, “Mother, do you know what happened to me? It’s all because of her!”
