The Divine Physician’s Overbearing Wife

Splat!

The knife was stabbed into Tian Qi’s heart. Tian Qi’s body froze and his head slowly tilted downward, staring at the knife stuck in his heart as blood flowed from the corners of his mouth. Everything that he wanted to say was stuck in his throat.

In the end, his head dropped to the side and he died.

The jail door was once again opened.

Two guards rushed over and put their fists to palms in greeting. “Madam, we heard Housekeeper Tian Qi’s voice. Are you alright?”

Lady Yuan smiled sadly. She turned around and left the prison.

‘Sir Ye, did you see it?

‘The enemies who had harmed you are dying by my hand, one by one.

‘Don’t worry. Very soon I will kill everyone, avenging the You family’s five hundred over people!’

After leaving the jail, Lady Yuan’s face color recovered a little.

From afar, she could see Zheng Tianwu rushing toward her.

Earlier on in the jail, she had used up all her strength and at the moment, her body had lost all strength as she crumbled to the floor.

“Yuan’er!” Zheng Tianwu was frightened as he quickly went to hold Lady Yuan up. As he looked on anxiously, he ordered, “Quick, quickly get the doctor here! Yuan’er, wake up! Don’t scare me!”

The dark yellow sky was reflecting Zheng Tianwu’s anxious face. His eyes were filled with tension.

“Marquis.”

In the east room.

The incense was burning.

Zheng Tianwu sat next to the bed, clutching Lady Yuan’s hand tightly. Besides worry, his eyes carried no other emotions.

“Housekeeper Tian Qi was killed by the Lady.”

The person behind him respectfully reported.

“Hmm.” Zheng Tianwu just grunted an acknowledgment and no longer responded.

The guard hesitated for a moment. “Housekeeper Tian Qi… is not the kind of person who would have harmed Lord Mu.”

Zheng Tianwu lowered his eyes. “I don’t care whether Tian Qi had really intended to harm Mu Yu or not. However, Yuan’er wanted to kill him, then let his despicable life be offered to Yuan’er. Nobody should question that!”

The guard’s body trembled. He had already noticed Zheng Tianwu’s eyes turning dark so, he quickly left with his head bowed.

“Yes, Marquis.”

“Leave, I will be here to accompany Yuan’er until she wakes up.”

Zheng Tianwu waved his hand then quickly turned his attention to Lady Yuan.

His eyes were full of tenderness and willingness to spoil her.

That was something that was previously not there.

In this life, he had killed many living beings. Regardless of whether it was a beast’s life or a human’s life, none of this mattered to him.

Everyone was just like an ant, there was no need for him to care.

But after he had met Yuan’er, he finally had someone he cared about…

He would not allow anyone to accuse her.

Whatever she said, he would believe it!

It did not matter if she was something bad that would bring calamity to the country and suffering to the citizens. Nor did it matter if she was a vixen in this story. None of it mattered to him.

He just wanted to be by her side…

“Marquis.”

At this moment, a guard rushed over and whispered into Zheng Tianwu’s ear.

Zheng Tianwu’s eyes sunk, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. “Is what you have said true?”

“Every sentence I have heard is true. It was overheard by a palace girl belonging to the little princess.”

“Good. Very good. Come with me, I want to enter the palace to meet the Eldest Prince!”

***

At night.

The sky was dark and the crescent moon was hidden behind the clouds.

Inside the palace walls, two petite figures carefully avoided all the imperial guards, moving forward while dodging and hiding.

“You Lan, the secret passage you have talked about, does it really exist?”

“Of course it’s real.” You Lan happily stroked her chin. “When I was a child, Father Emperor did not let me out, so I used to secretly sneak out through this secret passage. Yiyi, I have inquired about something, Eldest Imperial Brother has left for an appointment tonight. He is not in the palace. It is the best time for us to escape.”
