Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 187 - 189: The Problem with the Bridal Gown
Chapter 187: Chapter 189: The Problem with the Bridal Gown
"Evil of Constellation is dead?"
Dugu Wu was slightly amazed.
"It happened last night. That old fellow from Evil of Constellation should have died long ago. He previously plotted against us and that score hasn’t been settled yet. Unknowingly seeking his own death, he dared to steal the Heavenly Stone from several countries."
Lu Yin said excitedly, filled with gossip.
"Evil of Constellation was clever all his life, how could he be so careless this time. He’s done plenty of sneaky things, but it’s rather strange for him to brazenly steal the Heavenly Stone."
Dugu Wu didn’t see it as simply as Lu Yin did.
He had dealt with Evil of Constellation several times and knew his temperament quite well.
Xingxiu Sect is ranked among the top ten in the Sky Blue Continent, and it’s suspicious that Evil was hacked to mincemeat and died in his own bed.
"People die for wealth and birds die for food; Evil wanted the Heavenly Iron, mostly to kill you. Unfortunately, he was at the end of his strength and his Gang Qi was broken by the Dragon Slayer Sword forged from Heavenly Iron. However, this makes the Heavenly Stone even more invaluable; it can kill Evil and most Wuji Experts too. Dugu, you must be careful."
Lu Yin’s expression became solemn.
Nations fight desperately for the Heavenly Stone, all for the domination of the Sky Blue Continent.
It’s said that the battle for the Heavenly Stone this time ended in a stalemate.
But the biggest profiteer isn’t the struggling nations, but the Xingxiu Sect.
"Evil of Constellation is dead, but no Heavenly Iron or Heavenly Stone was found near his corpse. The entire Xingxiu Sect was turned upside down, and whatever he stole from those nations wasn’t found. Clearly, whether it’s the Heavenly Iron or the Heavenly Stone, they are definitely still within Xingxiu Sect."
Lu Yin sighed.
"This is even more strange. What kind of person was Evil of Constellation, and how could he allow the Heavenly Stone to fall into his disciples’ hands? The thief must be someone else."
Dugu Wu speculated.
"Impossible, I have some spies in the armies of several nations, and on the night Evil acted, some people witnessed it themselves. It was him; beyond that, the disguise can’t possibly include the same power and the Wuji Wood Seal, right?"
Lu Yin shook his head.
He was skilled in the art of disguise, but he couldn’t disguise the Wenhua Wuji Seal.
Dugu Wu fell into deep thought.
"Sir, there is trouble. The Commandery Princess has been summoned into the palace by Emperor Yongye."
Feng Wan reported as usual, but his voice carried an urgency today.
Dugu Wu remained composed.
"Tomorrow Feng Bailing and I are getting married, it’s not strange for Emperor Yongye to summon her."
After all, Emperor Yongye was Feng Bailing’s uncle.
He has eased his attitude towards Dongfang Lianhua and her daughter recently.
"But while summoning the Commandery Princess, the Emperor also asked her to bring the ’Phoenix Robe’ into the palace."
Feng Wan hadn’t finished speaking before Dugu Wu rose to his feet.
This wedding was arranged hastily, and Dugu Wu inadvertently heard that Feng Bailing’s wedding dress couldn’t be made in time, so he had Feng Wan send over a set...
"Dugu, it’s inconvenient for you to enter the palace at this time."
Lu Yin hurriedly stopped Dugu Wu; as the groom with no summons, rushing into the palace would be discourteous.
Dugu Wu paused.
He recalled what Nalan Yan’er had told him at the Xia He Banquet.
Feng Bailing was a spy for Emperor Yongye.
A spy... Dugu Wu’s heart sank.
She might take the opportunity to act during tomorrow’s wedding.
He half-mockingly curved his lips, a cryptic undertone swirling in his eyes.
Inside the palace’s walls, the corridors wind back and forth, and though Feng Bailing had entered the palace several times,
today she felt some trepidation.
Early in the morning, Li Qing personally came to summon her into the palace. Entering the palace was one thing, but she had to bring her wedding dress for the next day.
"Commandery Princess, the Emperor has been unwell these days, you must be careful with your words."
Li Qing walked ahead, Feng Bailing in the middle, with several little eunuchs deliberately lagging behind. Li Qing lowered his voice, advising.
"And this set of clothes."
Li Qing’s mouth twitched slightly, pointing to the wedding dress held by Feng Bailing.
Bright red wedding dress, just like the azaleas in March and roses in June.
Today, Feng Bailing also found out that this wedding dress has a unique name "Phoenix Robe."
"Chief Li, is there any problem with this wedding dress?"
Feng Bailing pondered; when Dugu Wu gave her the wedding dress, he did not say much.
"Commandery Princess, this wedding dress belonged to Lady Dugu. Lady almost entered the palace back then."
Li Qing whispered.
Lady Dugu almost entered the palace?
Feng Bailing paused in her steps.
My goodness, the imperial family is indeed the imperial family, always able to surprise her.
Dugu Wu’s mother is Lady Dugu, his father is Prince Shun, and Lady Dugu almost entered the palace.
But when Feng Wan sent the wedding dress, she mentioned that it had never been used.
People from Prince Shun’s Mansion never mentioned Lady Dugu.
This mysterious Lady Dugu, just like an invisible person.
Unwed with a child, almost entered the palace, Feng Bailing could already imagine a dramatic saga of brothers fighting over a woman.
Li Qing just gave a hint, unwilling to say more.
Feng Bailing was led all the way to the Imperial Study.
Upon entering, she saw a bright yellow Dragon Robe.
Emperor Yongye stood with his hands behind his back.
His gaze fell on a painting on the wall.
Feng Bailing had been to Emperor Yongye’s Imperial Study once.
She remembered the Imperial Study was decorated very elegantly and simply, without even one extra painting on the walls.
But today, there was an additional painting, seemingly newly hung.
Seeing that Emperor Yongye did not speak, Feng Bailing knelt on the ground, her gaze slightly lifted, catching sight of that painting.
"Double-colored orchid!"
Feng Bailing saw the painting clearly, a flicker of astonishment crossing her eyes.
The lifelike orchid was blooming enchantingly.
The painter was obviously also skilled in the art of painting.
This meant that, in the Imperial Palace, someone had once cultivated a double-colored orchid.
Emperor Yongye came back to his senses, his cold eyes then fell on the wedding dress in Feng Bailing’s hands.
His fingers touched the wedding dress.
Every thread and line seemed to carry her scent.
"Unexpectedly, she eventually ’married’ into Prince Shun’s Mansion."
Emotions churned in Emperor Yongye’s eyes.
"Dugu Wu treats you well. Unfortunately, you don’t deserve this wedding dress."
Emperor Yongye gave a cold laugh. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
"If His Majesty doesn’t like it, this wedding dress..."
"Just a piece of clothing, after all; I can let go of people, let alone a wedding dress."
Emperor Yongye’s eyes turned icy again, the wedding dress evoking some unpleasant memories.
"You may take action tomorrow."
Emperor Yongye suddenly spoke.
Feng Bailing understood the secret decree.
What was to come had arrived; Emperor Yongye could not wait any longer.
"This servant obeys but also please remember my mother’s divorce paper," Feng Bailing said solemnly.
