Chapter 62: Can’t Find Chu Chengye
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The Grand Eunuch Liu Fu was a powerful figure in the palace, serving as the empress’s confidant and having significant authority. He held a piece of yellow fabric in his hand. “This is a decree from the empress, ordering the search of this medical hall to find any suspicious individuals or items. Lord Liang, do you intend to defy the decree?”
“I dare not,” Liang Jin replied when he saw the decree, refraining from further comment.
With a hint of apology in his eyes, he looked at Su Yingxue. “No one can defy the empress’s decree.”
Su Yingxue smiled and responded, “It’s alright, Lord Liang. The genius doctor doesn’t visit the clinic every day.”
Upon hearing this, Liang Jin felt relieved. He wouldn’t have to worry about explaining the situation to his madam when he returned.
Liu Fu, accompanied by the Imperial Guards, thoroughly searched the medical hall, inside and out, including the medicine cabinet. However, they couldn’t find a single trace of Chu Chengye.
Liu Fu came out anxiously and pointed at Su Yingxue. “Where is your genius doctor? Did you hide her… Quickly bring her out! We are searching for empress orders, and there must be no mistakes!”
Su Yingxue found herself in a difficult situation. “The genius doctor is quite temperamental and doesn’t work at the clinic every day. She may be resting or visiting the residence of a certain lord.”
“In that case, where does your genius doctor reside now? Tell me!” Liu Fu’s voice grew sharper, resembling a stone scraping against a wall.
“The genius doctor doesn’t have a fixed residence.”
“Then which lord’s residence is she currently visiting? Speak up!”
“I… I don’t know either. The genius doctor is quite capricious. Why don’t you search every lord’s residence in Jiang Du City?” Su Yingxue kindly suggested.
Liu Fu was infuriated by her words. “You just wait!”
He didn’t have the time or the courage to search every lord’s residence in Jiang Du City!
He left with the Imperial Guards and could only search for Chu Chengye from house to house.
However, after a whole day of searching, they had no results. Liu Fu cautiously returned to the palace and kneeled in front of the empress with a thud. “Empress! I am useless. I couldn’t find the Seventh Prince! But Your Highness is a remarkable individual, and he will surely be safe!”
“Useless! What purpose do 1 have in keeping you all? My Ye’er! If anything happens to my Ye’er… the genius doctor, Tongchang Medical Center, I want them all dead!” The empress’s eyes turned red, filled with intense rage.
That genius doctor surnamed Chu was a rival she had never encountered before in all these years!
She had failed to deal with her on multiple occasions, and now she had even lost Chu Chengye!
However, she couldn’t openly search for Chu Chengye. If the emperor found out that Chu Chengye went missing because of her actions against the genius doctor, they would surely have a heated argument. Moreover, Chu Chengye’s standing in the emperor’s heart would be affected.
But if she didn’t search for Chu Chengye, what if that deranged genius doctor did something to him…
“Ye’er, my son must not face any danger! Go and bring Su Yurou to me!” The empress gritted her teeth and slammed the table.
Su Yurou was quickly brought before the empress. Kneeling in front of her, she felt the empress’s overwhelming anger and couldn’t help but worry in her heart.
“Su Yurou, you useless person! What kind of idea was that? Your elder sister is not easily threatened, and now even my Ye’er has gone missing. If anything happens to him, I will kill you first!” The empress grabbed the teacup beside her and hurled it at Su Yurou.
Su Yurou dared not dodge, and the teacup struck her forehead, causing blood to flow down and stain her pure white dress..
