Unbridled Medical Expert Consort: Demon Prince, Be Good-Chapter 70.1 - Stop at Nothing to Steal the Girl

Chapter 70a: Stop at Nothing to Steal the Girl

He was truly extremely stunned for a long time. Western Chu’s emperor stared at Nalan Ye, suspecting whether he’d heard wrong.

“My, my dear subject Ye……We haven’t misheard, right?”

The Emperor had never ever stuttered before. His eyes opened as wide as a ball. “What did you say just now? I seemed to not have heard clearly. Will you repeat it again?”

“This humble servant would like to ask Your Majesty to bestow a marriage upon me.” Nalan Ye repeated himself once again.

The was the best method that he could think of to enable him and Luo Qing Luan to be together. As long as the Emperor issued an imperial decree, no one would be able to block it. Even if that little lass didn’t like him, it’s still useless.

Moreover, he had the confidence that as long as there’s more time, she would naturally understand what’s good about him.

As for Nangong Qing……although Nangong Qing was the Crown Prince, and could even be considered his friend, Nalan Ye lived by the creed that as long as he fancied someone, he would exhaust every possible method in order to win them. Moreover, this was the first woman that he wholeheartedly fell in love with. He could not miss this opportunity.

The Emperor finally heard clearly and immediately laughed out loud, imperial countenance greatly pleased. “My dear subject Ye actually has someone he likes. This is truly rare. We wonder which family’s daughter has this blessing to be fancied by you? Tell Us, We will surely bestow marriage on your behalf.”

And at this moment, in a bright courtyard within the palace, Luo Qing Luan was conversing with the Empress. She was putting in great effort in order to be able to extricate herself from the possibility of marrying the Crown Prince. She didn’t have a clue that her own fate had already been secretly changed.

Having heard what Luo Qing Luan said, the Empress, who originally fully intended to speak on the Crown Prince’s behalf, found her attention diverted. She couldn’t help but be both surprised and delighted. “Qing Luan, is what you’re saying real?”

“How can I dare to fool Your Highness. These words were indeed all spoken by my master.” Luo Qing Luan withdrew the hand she was using to take the Empress’ pulse and smiled faintly. “Although Your Highness has never been pregnant before, that absolutely doesn’t mean that you can’t have children. My master and I have discussed Your Highness’ condition and Master said that if she tried her hand, there should be a three in ten chance of success.”

“Three tenths?” Empress Wang’s joy was only lessened a little before she immediately laughed again. “Good. Good. I’m willing to have your Master try. I wonder when she can start? Do we need to first receive your master into the imperial palace before we speak further?”

Although there was no absolute certainty, compared to what the imperial physicians told her previously, that she won’t be able to have a child in this lifetime, Luo Qing Luan’s master’s thirty percent chance still gave her unlimited hope.

No matter what, even if there was only a slight possibility, she still wouldn’t let it go.

Who among the women from the inner palace didn’t hope to have their own child? Don’t mention a prince. Even if they could birth a princess, the second half of their life would still be hopeful, certainly better than turning old and fading away, better than a lifetime of solitude and loneliness.

As for Nangong Qing? Although he was raised under her name, when all was said and done, he wasn’t her biological child. She still hoped that she could have her own flesh and blood.

Very satisfied with Empress Wang’s attitude and eagerness, Luo Qing Luan hesitated, and appeared a little alarmed as she replied. “There’s something Your Highness doesn’t know, my master……her personality is a little strange. I already informed Your Highness last time. When my master examines a patient, not only does she not want anyone there at all, I’m afraid even Your Highness will need to personally visit her before my master will be able to……”

Knitting her eyebrows, Empress Wang nodded. “As long as your master truly improves my health, when I have my child, I will certainly reward her handsomely. Qing Luan, return first to tell your master that I will find an excuse to first tell His Majesty. In at most three days, I will go visit the general’s mansion.”

Succeeding without a hitch, Luo Qing Luan nodded her head and replied. “Yes, Your Highness, I will immediately return to tell Master. Please be at ease, Your Highness, there absolutely won’t be a fourth person who will know of this matter.”

Luo Qing Luan had just departed for a short time when Nangong Qing came in. “Imperial Mother, I came to pay respects to you.” Nangong Qing said deferentially.

In a good mood, Empress Wang smiled and called out to him. “Come here, but don’t be disappointed. Qing Luan just left.”

He indeed heard that Luo Qing Luan entered the palace. Nangong Qing had not seen her for many days. Last time, he invited her to his mansion last time, but something came up when she was on her way and she never came. He even thought that he’d be able to encounter her beautiful tracks today. Who knew he still came one step late.

Seeing Nangong Qing’s completely disappointed appearance, Empress Wang was certain that he liked Luo Qing Luan. If this was a normal time, she would’ve had a good chat with Nangong Qing. But now, she urgently left to advise the emperor of her need to leave the palace. She wasn’t in the mood for anything else, therefore, she then called the palace maids to help her change.

“Imperial Mother, didn’t you say before that you’ll help me choose my consort, I wonder……” Nangong Qing asked probingly.

“I’ve already met them all. I feel that among all of the important officials’ daughters, there are only two suitable candidates.” After she finished changing, the empress continued, “One is the Marquis of Xuanping’s youngest daughter, Yuchi Lianqing. Her appearance is dignified and beautiful. She is a woman of virtue and talent. I like her quite a bit. The second one is the noble born daughter from the general’s mansion, Luo Qing Luan. I’m also deeply moved by her.”

Watching Nangong Qing, Empress Wang asked him. “It’s just, I wonder who my imperial son favors?”

Without waiting for Nangong Qing to answer, Empress Wang already walked towards the palace exit. “That’s right, Imperial Mother needs to go see your Imperial Father for something. You should go back and think about first about girl you actually like and inform me next time. I’ll then go look for your Imperial Father so that he can issue an imperial decree on your behalf. How’s that?”

Nangong Qing cupped his hands happily. “Thank you, Imperial Mother.”

After leaving the palace, Nangong Qing immediately visited the Prince of Chu’s Mansion. He wanted to tell Nalan Ye of this matter.
