The Demon Queen of Divine Doctor is not to be trifled with

Chapter 25 Ye Qingcheng, Quan Qingcheng

The Shenxian Hall was the residence of successive emperors of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

When the late emperor passed away, the palace servants had cleared out all the things used by the late emperor in the palace, leaving only an empty palace, quietly waiting for the new master.

Yun Chen and Wu Fei stood outside the palace, silently staring at the closed palace door. The fourth lady of the Ye family and the seventh prince had been inside for a while, dismissing all the palace servants. No one knew how the disease was being treated, let alone how it was treated.

Wu Fei was a little worried and asked Yun Chen in a low voice: "Is it really safe? The Seventh Prince has never spoken since he was born. How can Fourth Miss Ye make a mute person speak? Unless the Emperor does it himself, it is impossible!"

Yun Chen sighed and shook his head, "I don't know why the Emperor specifically asked Fourth Miss Ye to do this, but since the Emperor specially invited people to the palace and told him about this in person, he must have his reasons. You can't trust anyone but the Emperor, so from this perspective, this matter is still very safe." He glanced at Wu Fei and kindly reminded, "Just now, Fourth Miss protected you in front of the Queen, and you owe Fourth Miss a huge favor!"

Wu Fei nodded repeatedly, "Yes, you are welcome. From now on, whenever the Fourth Miss gives you an order, I will definitely do it without hesitation."

Behind them, a burst of sobbing could be heard. The two turned around and saw Concubine Yu from the harem walking towards them.

Yupin was thirty-four years old this year and was the biological mother of the Seventh Prince. She had a very good relationship with the late Emperor. Not only did she give birth to the last Prince, but she was also the one who took care of the late Emperor when he was in poor health over the years.

It can be said that in the last two years of the late emperor's life, Concubine Yu was the only woman by his side.

In fact, she should have been promoted to a concubine long ago, after all, she had a prince by her side. But because the seventh prince was a mute, she felt sorry for the royal family, so she proposed to promote him to a concubine several times, but she refused every time.

Wu Fei was very respectful to Concubine Yu, and when he saw her coming, he quickly bowed and saluted.

Yun Chen also followed suit and saluted, and took the initiative to say: "His Highness the Seventh Prince is already in the Palace of the Immortals."

Yupin wiped her tears and asked Yunchen in confusion, "Why did the emperor let Cheng'er succeed to the throne? He is only sixteen years old and he is still mute." At this point, he looked towards the hall in front of him, "They said that the daughter of the first-rank general's mansion is treating Cheng'er's illness. Can she cure him? Is his throat really sick?"

Concubine Yu looked very unhappy. She had already been crying very hard because of the emperor's death, and now thinking about her son's muteness made her feel even more upset.

She always remembered the past. She remembered that when her son was born, he cried very loudly. When he was about one year old, he grabbed the small item sent by the emperor and called "Daddy". His voice was very clear and beautiful. But later, he became mute for some reason. For more than ten years, he has not spoken again.

Everyone said that the Seventh Prince was born dumb, but she was the only one who knew that her son was not born dumb, and it was very likely that he was harmed by someone. But she couldn't say that, and she couldn't investigate the matter. The emperor couldn't even keep her and her son safe, and now that she had no backers, she had to keep this matter to herself.

Yun Chen looked at Concubine Yu for a while and replied, "Whether it is a disease or not, if the Emperor says it can be cured, then it can be cured. It is the rule of Northern Qi to crown the youngest instead of the oldest. Your Highness the Seventh Prince is the youngest prince and he should naturally inherit the throne."

"But……"

"No buts." Yun Chen interrupted her, "Madam Yu, I'll say it again, this is the decision of the Emperor!"

Yupin stopped talking. Yes, the Emperor's decision, the Emperor's words were the imperial decree, the Emperor's words were the will of heaven, and even the Emperor could not resist the will of heaven. What else could she say? Wu Fei advised: "Your Majesty, although the succession of the Seventh Prince to the throne was beyond your expectation, you should think positively about everything. Since the Emperor wants the Seventh Prince to succeed to the throne, the Seventh Prince's throat must be cured. Let's wait a little longer. When the Seventh Prince walks out of the Fairy Palace, he will be able to speak. Aren't you looking forward to it?"

In the east wing of the Palace of Immortals, Ye Wenyan sat on a chair, staring blankly at the Seventh Prince opposite him, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

In her previous life, she had a cousin who looked like this. He was a handsome young man, kind and sincere, with a pair of peach blossom eyes embedded in his delicate and fair face, and his lips were upturned, which would show a clean smile.

That was her third uncle's child. He liked to follow her since he was young. He could disobey his parents, but he would definitely listen to his cousin. Because he was born white and clean like a little girl, her third aunt jokingly named him Ye Qingcheng.

When Ye Qingcheng grew up, she was very dissatisfied with her name, but her mother was too tough and her thoughts of changing her name were suppressed several times.

On the night when the Ye family was exterminated, the first shot fired at her was blocked by Ye Qingcheng. Before dying, the child pushed her away and told her to leave quickly, not to think about revenge, and to run as far as possible.

But where could she run to? The higher-ups wanted to wipe out the Xuanmai Ye family, and she couldn't escape even if she ran to the ends of the earth.

She withdrew her thoughts, looked at the boy in front of her, and asked, "Do you know who I am?"

The boy nodded. Although he couldn't speak, he could hear the sound.

Ye Wenyan also nodded, "It's OK if you know it, then I won't introduce myself."

The Seventh Prince was obviously a little nervous. He tried to grab her hand, but in the end he only grabbed her sleeve.

Ye Wenyan smiled and said, "I know what you mean. Don't worry, I will heal you. But I will only heal you so that you can speak. As for how to go in the future, you have to figure it out by yourself."

The young man nodded again. She continued, "I don't know whether it was right or wrong for the emperor to push you to the throne, but you are a prince, and from the day you were born, you have to prepare for the possibility of inheriting the throne one day. So this is your fate, and you should accept it."

She raised her hand and gently covered his throat. "You are not born dumb, but you are disabled by external forces. I don't know who did this to you, but fortunately you are only dumb, not deaf. Muteness does not affect hearing, but deafness affects language. If the other party had damaged your ears, then even if I restored your hearing today, your language function would still be an obstacle."

The hand covering the throat slowly moved up and fell to the eyes, "Close it! When you open it again, you can speak. If you are bored now, you can think about what the first sentence you will say to me later."

The Seventh Prince closed his eyes obediently. She spread out her palms, and the wintersweets in her palms shattered, turning into white light and drilling into the Seventh Prince's throat.

After a short moment, her voice sounded again: "Okay."

Alright? The Seventh Prince opened his eyes, looking surprised. He tried to make a sound, but due to nervousness he could only babbled.

She smiled and told him: "Don't be afraid. Although you have never spoken, you have been able to hear all kinds of voices since you were a child. You should say the same thing as others say."

The Seventh Prince pondered for a while, then he called her, "Sister."

Ye Wenyan was suddenly stunned, and looked at the young man again and again, "I thought you would say thank you, but I didn't expect you to call me sister. Seventh Prince, Eunuch Wu said that you are sixteen years old and I am only fifteen, so you can't call me sister."

"But I just think you are my elder sister, and I think you are actually much older than me, and you can teach me many things." The Seventh Prince had his own ideas, "If you think it is inappropriate, then I will call you in private, and you don't refuse."

She was helpless, "It's up to you! Seventh Prince, is your name Quan Qingcheng?" "Yes!" He said these three words seriously, "Quan Qingcheng, Qing as in the blue sky, Cheng as in the city wall."

"Qingcheng?" Suddenly her nose felt sore, and she suddenly laughed. She grabbed the boy's hand and said, "Qingcheng, that's great. It's great that your name is Qingcheng."

The Seventh Prince was puzzled. "Why? Does this name have any special meaning? Sister, you seem to be about to cry, but why are your hands so cold? Why is your face so pale? Sister, are you sick?"

She shook her head, "No, my sister is not sick, it's just that it's been snowing outside and she's cold."

"Then let's sit by the stove. It will be warmer." He pulled Ye Wenyan to move the chair closer to the charcoal stove, and then said, "Sister, do you think I should be the emperor or not?"

Ye Wenyan looked at him for a while and sighed softly, "Qingcheng, you have no choice."

"So do you want me to do it or not?" She sighed again, "I don't have a choice. This is your royal family's business. I'm just a servant. It's not my turn to have the final say on this matter. Besides, I don't know what the other princes are like. I don't know if they are good or bad, and whether they are suitable to inherit the throne."

After thinking about it again, he added, "But your sixth brother is not a good person. He has a grudge against me. No matter what I say, he will not get anything good."

Quan Qingcheng smiled, "Sister, you have an interesting personality. I've heard that the fourth daughter of the Ye family is very powerful. Today I see that her reputation is well-deserved."

She waved her hand, "Okay, don't mention the past. It makes me angry."

"Then let's not talk about it." Quan Qingcheng was very obedient, "Sister, I heard that you got married yesterday, but my sixth brother..."

"Don't even mention this. It'll only make me more angry." She was really upset. She had originally called her sister, and she thought this kid was sweet and good at coaxing people. How could she suddenly bring up something irrelevant? She warned, "Remember, the one who is marrying your sixth brother is my cousin Ye Hongzhuang, not me, Ye Wenyan. I have nothing to do with your sixth brother." She patted Quan Qingcheng, "Okay, stand up and adjust your mood. People are waiting for you outside! There is one more thing you must remember. Don't mention how I cured you of this disease. If anyone must ask, just push the blame on Yunchen and say that the Imperial Observatory forbids you to say it, because it will ruin the country's destiny. Remember?"

Quan Qingcheng nodded, "I remember."

"Also, don't tell anyone about the fact that someone caused you to become disabled. You have to learn to protect yourself. When you are fully grown, you can settle the score. Do you understand?"

Quan Qingcheng nodded again, "I understand!"

"Okay, let's go!" She looked out the window. The thick window paper could not block the bright morning light.

The day is about to dawn. From this moment on, the Northern Qi Kingdom will usher in a new generation of emperor!
