Chapter 514: Chapter 513: Today, this palace wants to see who dares to stop

As Yan Wanqing passed by, there were already a crowd of people standing outside Linglan Palace.

She recognized them.

They were the personal Palace Maids of Sun Lianyi.

One of the maids, her face full of anger, exclaimed, "What audacity! Do you know who resides in Linglan Palace, yet you dare to detain all the Imperial Physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau!"

The nursemaid appeared humble on the surface, but the words she spoke still made people itch with hatred.

"The Imperial Concubine’s health is delicate, and the Crown Prince has also said to have the staff from the Imperial Medical Bureau stay on constant watch here. If Sun Imperial Concubine feels dissatisfied, she may well go and reason it out with the Crown Prince," she said.

"Nonsense! Do you know the little Crown Prince has just encountered an assassination, his life hanging by a thread? He is the Crown Prince’s eldest legitimate son; if anything happens to him, watch your old heads!" the maid said coldly, stretching out her hand and pushing the nursemaid aside: "Move aside, I need to speak with the Imperial Concubine myself."

"Hold up!" the nursemaid didn’t budge, looking unexpectedly like someone who had been trained.

"What status do you have to negotiate personally with the Imperial Concubine? If it were Sun Imperial Concubine herself here, that would be one thing, but you are..." the nursemaid looked her up and down, "not qualified."

The maid was so angry that her chest heaved rapidly, her breathing short, looking like she was about to lose control.

A clear voice tinged with a hint of murderous intent then rose from behind.

"Then see for yourself, am I qualified enough?"

As the nursemaid saw Yan Wanqing coming, and noticed blood beads faintly visible on her skirt hem, she quickly signaled to someone beside her,

Immediately, the person beside her exited, leaving the place.

Yan Wanqing saw this.

She knew they were going to fetch reinforcements, to fetch Crown Prince Xiao Pingfeng.

She didn’t want to intervene.

She stepped up the stairs, and Sun Lianyi’s Palace Maid bowed to her: "Greetings to the Crown Princess Consort."

"Go back. I will take care of my affairs personally. Sun Imperial Concubine has many inconveniences right now; there is no need for you to stand up for me anymore." She was now the famously known enchantress; Sun Lianyi should not be involved with her,

Currently, she was an orphaned mother within the depths of the palace, already in a delicate position.

Today, having her personal maid come to Linglan Palace to request an Imperial Physician was already very rare.

Yan Wanqing remembered this kindness.

The maid looked worried, but had to obey Yan Wanqing’s words and left first with her people: "The Crown Princess Consort must be careful. Tomorrow is the coronation ceremony, and Sun Imperial Concubine has entrusted me with a message for you: ’A lack of patience in small matters disrupts great plans.’

"I know," Yan Wanqing replied indifferently.

Her gaze kept falling on the nursemaid, and when everyone had walked far away, she spoke jestingly, "Get yourself together, nursemaid. Tell me now, am I qualified enough?"

The nursemaid had just begun to utter a word: "Im-the..."

"Enough, I don’t want to hear anymore." She raised her hand and directly clutched the nursemaid’s neck, cutting off the sound in her throat, her eyes full of murderous intent: "I will personally show you what it means to be dead, should have been dead a long time ago..."

She showed a cold, chilling smile, and under the horrified gazes of the onlookers, she twisted the nursemaid’s neck, leaving her lifeless.

"If my son is no more, today, not a single person inside Linglan Palace will leave alive," she declared.

She stepped forward into the interior, her gown trailing long behind her on the floor.

"Xiu Hong, come in. Take out all the Imperial Physicians; I want to see today who dares to stop us!"

Xiu Hong hurried inside.

At this moment, the Imperial Medical Bureau stood in a line inside the palace, looking at each other as Yan Wanqing entered, then bowed their heads down.

Among them, somewhat shamefully, were doctors from Tongren Hall who had been promoted by Yan Wanqing to the Imperial Medical Bureau.

At this moment, they felt nothing but shame.

"Crown Princess Consort, please forgive us. It’s not that we are unwilling to go, it’s just—" The words were swallowed back, some things really didn’t need to be said in full.

Yan Wanqing’s gaze swept over them and finally settled on the figure behind the curtain.

She chuckled softly, "I understand. Hurry along now, irrespective of the outcome, you must report back here at Linglan Palace, I will be waiting for you here."

Xiu Hong loudly urged on the side, "Imperial Physicians, please hurry! The young prince cannot wait any longer!"

The Imperial Medical Bureau hurriedly packed their medicine chests, ready to follow Xiu Hong out.

At this moment, a cough came from behind the curtain.

The Imperial Physicians were so frightened that they stopped in their tracks.

"Once you go out this door, it will be difficult to come back in."

The voice from inside was faint, but the Imperial Physicians turned pale upon hearing it.

Things not dignified enough to see the light of day.

Yan Wanqing walked towards the curtain, reached out her hand to pick up a nearby candlestick, and directly brushed off the still-burning candle, hot wax dripped onto the back of her hand, as if she was completely unaware.

"Qin Erya, I spared your life last time because you had the Concentric Gu, but if something happens to my son this time, see if I will still care whether this damned Poisonous Insect exists or not!"

She raised her hand and tore down the entire curtain in one go.

Revealing the sickly pale beauty inside.

Qin Erya was leaning on a couch, her long black hair draped over her ears, seemingly nourished back to health these past days by delicacies from the mountains and sea.

The sharp end of the candlestick was directed right at Qin Erya’s throat, a little further and it would draw blood.

Yet Qin Erya seemed unafraid, even managing to curl her lips into a smile.

"Just like, you killed my grandfather, right?"

"Xiu Hong!" Yan Wanqing’s eyes reddened as she shouted.

Xiu Hong, nearly crying, reached out to grasp the sleeve of the physician closest to her, "Please, come with this servant quickly."

The physician wore a troubled expression.

At this moment, a younger physician stepped forward, "I will go!"

He gritted his teeth, determined, "No matter what happens afterwards, I will risk it all to ensure the safety of the young prince, rest assured, Crown Princess Consort!"

Saying this, he started walking towards the exit, leading the way, and the remaining few also stood up.

Yan Wanqing recognized them, they were all from Tongren Hall.

It seemed they were repaying a debt of gratitude to her.

Xiu Hong led the Imperial Physicians away, and Yan Wanqing’s heart finally settled slightly. She pointed the sharp end of the bamboo holder at Qin Erya’s chin, "What did you threaten them with?"

"Nothing much, in life, everyone has a weakness. As long as you grasp that weakness, you control the person," Qin Erya raised her hand, pushing away the candlestick, and stared intently at Yan Wanqing, "Originally, I thought you were a person without weaknesses, but then I discovered, you are all weaknesses."

Hearing this, Yan Wanqing’s expression turned icy.

"That palace maid was sent by you!" she clenched the candlestick, "How dare you!"

"Why wouldn’t I dare? You killed my grandfather, so what’s wrong with me targeting your son? Yan Wanqing, don’t be too tyrannical. The rules of this world are not set by you!" Qin Erya sneered.

"Do you see? Tomorrow, I will join you and the Crown Prince and admire the view from the high place. You are the Empress, and I am Lan Consort. From now on, we both serve one husband. Today’s incident is just a small warning. In the future, keep your tail between your legs, I, Qin Erya, might even be generous enough to spare you and your son," she lowered her voice, "Otherwise, you and your son will disappear just like your maternal clan."

"What do you mean?!" Yan Wanqing frowned, about to ask more detail.

But she just saw Qin Erya suddenly grab her hand, and fiercely stabbed the sharp point of the candlestick into her own shoulder blade, the madness and cruelty in her eyes startling.

"What are you doing!" Xiao Pingfeng strode in and witnessed the scene.
