Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 446: Chapter 316: Prince Feng’s Two “Grand Gifts”

It turns out to be the Fifth Imperial Princess of Beiqing, no wonder she’s so arrogant.

Unlike Qing Bi’s favoritism towards Xiahou Qi, Xiahou Qi didn’t have much affection for this Fifth Imperial Princess of Beiqing.

Upon seeing this girl, Xiahou Qi couldn’t help but recall the deceased Fourth Prince Xia Houhong.

”As for me, I am Xiahou Qi from Daxia, the sixth son of Emperor Xia.” Fearing that Ye Lingyue might misunderstand, Xiahou Qi let go of Qing Bi and deliberately distanced himself from her before he faintly replied.

The Sixth Prince of Daxia?

Hearing this, Qing Bi became even more delighted.

She had heard before that the former Crown Prince of Daxia had recently died, and now the hottest candidate for the Crown Prince was Xiahou Qi, born from the Empress.

”Princess, this humble servant deserves death, it was just that a strange fog came suddenly, and I inadvertently lost track of the Princess. Princess, you were frightened just now, would you like to rest locally for today? I heard, Miss Ye has good medical skills, perhaps she could check if there’s any serious issue for our Princess?” Cong Lv was extremely cautious.

”Guard Cong, that’s a good proposal, I also feel dizzy, probably because I inhaled some of that black fog earlier. Let’s rest in Daxia for a few days. Sixth Prince, surely you wouldn’t rush us away, right?” Qing Bi quickly pretended to have a headache, her beautiful eyes looking at Xiahou Qi.

She was energetic earlier, wanting to teach Cong Lv a lesson, and in the next moment, she became a ”sick beauty”; even a fool could see that it was because of Xiahou Qi.

Even though he saw that Princess Qing Bi’s intention was not on the wine, considering the relationship between the two nations, Xiahou Qi still helplessly said.

”Of course we welcome you, but the housing in the Xixia Plain area is simple, it might inconvenience the Princess. I will immediately have someone prepare the nearest city, and host a banquet tonight to treat the Princess and everyone else.”

”Thank you very much, Sixth Prince. This is my first time in Daxia, maybe you could tell me about the customs and culture of Daxia?” Princess Qing Bi had already forgotten her earlier unhappiness, pestering Xiahou Qi with all kinds of questions.

Hong Mingyue also took notice, she looked at Ye Lingyue with a rather mocking glance, little did she know that the latter was not paying attention to Qing Bi, instead, she was discussing the Spiritual Beasts they found in the black fog earlier with Aguduo.

Disturbed by the black fog, the day quickly passed by, and everyone made their departure.

Since he had to entertain Qing Bi and others, Xiahou Qi could only go with Luo Song and others to the nearby city.

”Ling Yue, I will rush back first thing tomorrow morning.” Xiahou Qi specifically wanted to explain to Ye Lingyue before leaving.

”Elder apprentice brother, you don’t need to consider my feelings, you are the Prince of Daxia, the future Crown Prince, every act and move represents Daxia, maintaining a good relationship with Beiqing is what you should do. Even if you are reluctant, it is necessary, isn’t it?” Ye Lingyue’s words left Xiahou Qi shocked, his brows tinged with an unresolvable melancholy.

The implication of her words, how could Xiahou Qi not understand?

Since ancient times, a man loves both the country and the beauty, Ye Lingyue’s desires were something Xiahou Qi couldn’t fulfill.

”But even so, the person I love the most can only be you.” Xiahou Qi bitterly smiled, his eyes filled with an ever firmer affection.

”Who is that woman?” Princess Qing Bi, waiting impatiently ahead, turned back and saw Xiahou Qi gazing affectionately at Ye Lingyue.

That kind of look, anyone could tell there was something amiss.

”She is called Ye Lingyue, merely an ordinary civilian girl who, relying on her looks and persuasive tongue, won the favor of the Empress Dowager and the Empress, and was granted an empty title of a Princess. The Sixth Prince was also enchanted by her for a time.” Hong Mingyue stood next to Qing Bi and spoke.

Both women were of similar age and noble birth. After revealing that she was an Inner Sect Disciple from the Three-Life Valley, Hong Mingyue effortlessly struck up a cheerful conversation with Qing Bi.

”She’s just a commoner with filthy lineage, huh, and she even dares to covet a distinguished Prince? Such a shameless woman.” Qing Bi glared irritably at Ye Lingyue.

Feeling an inexplicable hostility, Ye Lingyue raised her head and met Qing Bi’s gaze, who then coquettishly exclaimed,

”Sixth Prince, it’s getting late, let’s depart soon.”

Xiahou Qi could only leave with a few of them.

”Brother Cong, your Princess has left, aren’t you going to quickly follow?”

Ye Lingyue was somewhat surprised to see that Cong Lv hadn’t immediately left with the others.

”Miss Ye, I’ve heard that you have an elegant and gentle heart, and are a very clever person. Seeing you today, indeed your reputation is well-deserved. Honestly, I am sworn brothers with Prince Feng. Our Feng San is much better than those nominally future Crown Princes. Here, this is something Feng San asked me to give to you. In the future, if you visit Beiqing, just present it, and you can freely pass through any city.” After saying that, Cong Lv took out an item and handed it to Ye Lingyue, then straddled his horse and rode off.

In a little while, only Ye Lingyue and Aguduo remained on the plain.

The Purple Micro Alabaster Elephant stood behind the two women.

Ye Lingyue felt bewildered, suspecting that Cong Lv’s visit was not simple; perhaps he specifically came to tell her that Feng Xun was more outstanding than Xiahou Qi.

The item given by Cong Lv was wrapped in silk. When Ye Lingyue unwrapped it, she found a token inside.

The token was the same Phoenix Token Ye Lingyue had seen earlier in Fengming Manor.

Initially, Ye Lingyue thought it was a jade-carved token, but upon holding it today, she realized that it wasn’t made of jade.

Although the material was unidentified, the Phoenix Token felt cool to the touch, much like Feng Xun’s body temperature.

As Ye Lingyue’s fingertips brushed over the Phoenix Token, they trembled slightly; the cool and smooth token, kept close to her body, felt as though Feng Xun was right by her side.

A faint blush naturally appeared on her face, and her lips curled into a smile.

Why did Cong Lv specifically bring the Phoenix Token to her?

”Lord, you’re blushing; could it be that you have a fever?” Aguduo, standing nearby, was puzzled and reached out to touch Ye Lingyue’s forehead.

”I’m fine, let’s also head back. At this time, my sister and Jin Wu Old Monster should be back too.” After being told by Aguduo, Ye Lingyue tucked the Phoenix Token into her clothes.

Hooves flew, several fine horses galloped across the vast Xixia Plain.

”Lord Cong, shouldn’t we look around, didn’t Emperor Qing send us to investigate the cause of the Hei Wu?” A group of guards followed closely behind Cong Lv.

”This time, I didn’t come to see any Hei Wu; I came to see my future sister-in-law,” said Cong Lv, tugging at the corner of his mouth to reveal a particularly indulgent smile. ”You all, go back to Beiqing immediately, tell Prince Feng that I’ve delivered ’the two big gifts’ he asked me to.”
