Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 757: Chapter 624: Setting a Trap for the Female Emperor

Just as Ye Lingyue was preparing to step back, she halted her movements.

”Your Majesty, if I may be so bold to ask, have you been feeling a chill in your limbs recently and found your complexion rather pale, with whitish lips and a greenish face?” Ye Lingyue suddenly asked.

The Empress was taken aback upon hearing this.

Indeed, she had not been feeling well recently. As a Martial Artist, she was stronger than most people and did not pay it much mind. Moreover, she applied makeup to her face, which should have hidden any signs of illness. How could a Maid from the Dan Palace see through that?

”There are indeed some symptoms, but how did you notice?” The Empress asked, somewhat surprised.

”My ancestors knew some Qi Observation Technique. A few months ago when I entered the palace, Your Majesty was enveloped by a purple aura, but today, I see a hint of blue in Your Majesty’s purple aura, often a sign of weakness and coldness. I have a unique acupressure technique. Just by massaging Your Majesty a few times, there will be some relief.” Ye Lingyue answered convincingly.

The Empress was skeptical.

Ever since she plotted against Qingfeng years ago, she often suffered from nightmares, which made her sleep poorly.

Despite Chen Hongru’s use of Elixir Pills over the years to regulate her condition, the nightmares were cured, but her cold limbs remained an unsolved problem.

Thinking of meeting Feng Lan later that evening, having better complexion would be preferable.

”Then come forward and massage me. If it is effective, you will be handsomely rewarded,” the Empress said and allowed Ye Lingyue to step forward.

Ye Lingyue feigned a massage for the Empress.

Ye Lingyue had previously done massages for the Empress Dowager in Daxia and was quite skilled, integrating some Cauldron Breath techniques and stimulating the Empress’s acupoints. The Empress soon felt drowsy.

Taking advantage of the Empress’s lack of attention, Ye Lingyue’s fingertip landed on the womb beneath the Empress’s abdomen and gently pressed...

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the Empress gradually awoke and discovered that she had broken out in a light sweat.

Though sweaty, the Empress felt comfortable and warm, as if she had drunk a pot of wine. Looking in the copper mirror, she noticed a rosy complexion on her cheeks, her appearance indeed improved.

”Skillful hands. Truly a clever one, worthy of being selected by Chen Hongru. Tell Chen Hongru, from now on you shall visit the palace every few days to massage me,” the Empress said while commanding someone to bring her a cup of warm water and eating a Beauty Pill.

”P>”

”As you command.” Seeing this, Ye Lingyue curled her lips in a slight smile, gave a small bow, and exited.

Upon leaving the Beiqing Imperial Palace, Ye Lingyue wiped the sweat from her forehead. Although she had done some meddling with the Empress, she feared that the Weimeng Elixir might still...

Lost in her thoughts, Ye Lingyue suddenly felt a cold breeze sweep up behind her.

On high alert, Ye Lingyue raised her hand, and with a ’bang’, she clashed palms with the person behind her.

That person evidently did not expect a Maid from the Dan Palace to possess such profound Primordial Power.

”Who are you, and why do you possess a Phoenix Token!”

Only then did Ye Lingyue see the newcomer clearly; it was none other than the Earth Venerate.

It turns out that after losing track of Ye Lingyue that day, the Earth Venerate knew Ye Lingyue had a Phoenix Token.

Using her own blood, she infused it into the Phoenix Token and invoked the Blood Phoenix Spirit, hoping to locate Ye Lingyue.

Who knew the Blood Phoenix would linger in front of the Dan Palace, unwilling to leave. The Earth Venerate knew Ye Lingyue must be hiding inside the palace.

That day, she planned to enter the Dan Palace with the Heavenly Venerate to search for Ye Lingyue’s whereabouts.

Little did they know that at this moment, the Phoenix Token suddenly exhibited unusual activity.

The Earth Venerate took this as an excuse to leave the Heavenly Venerate behind to deal with Chen Hongru and walked outside, where she saw a maid.

And it was in response to this maid that the Phoenix Token had reacted.

The Earth Venerate grew suspicious, thinking the maid must have stolen the Phoenix Token, and presumably knew Ye Lingyue’s whereabouts.

She followed the lead, until she saw Ye Lingyue emerge from the Imperial Palace. Seizing an unguarded moment, she attempted to abduct her.

Who would have thought that such a seemingly insignificant Dan Palace maid would be so powerful.

”Earth Venerate, it’s me,” Ye Lingyue exclaimed with joy upon seeing the Earth Venerate.

”You?” The Earth Venerate asked, dubious as she heard Ye Lingyue’s tone.

”Princess Qingfeng, I am Ling Yue,” Ye Lingyue, left with no alternative, took out the Phoenix Token.

”Are you truly Ling Yue?” The Earth Venerate was still somewhat incredulous.

Ye Lingyue had no choice but to succinctly convey the events of her body being swapped by the nefarious Soul Separation technique performed by Xue Pianran and her mother.

”Outrageous, Xue Pianran and her daughter dare to utilize such an Evil Technique to harm you,” the Earth Venerate shuddered with fear upon hearing this; even though she had faced life and death before, she had never heard of such preposterous events in the world.

”Earth Venerate, why are you here? Have you news of Feng Xun?” Seeing the Earth Venerate reminded Ye Lingyue of Feng Xun.

”He has already returned, but his situation is dire. His Cold Syndrome has flared up aggressively this time, and he urgently needs your treatment,” the Earth Venerate promptly remembered Feng Xun’s condition upon seeing Ye Lingyue.

Yet Ye Lingyue’s physical body was under threat and could not possibly leave Beiqing straight away.

Ye Lingyue hesitated for a moment before devising a strategy: once back at the Dan Palace, she planned to first find a way to contact the Heavenly Venerate, and have her take some Fortune Crane Back.

”Fortune Crane? Isn’t that just origami cranes? Could such trinkets save Xun’er?” The Earth Venerate frowned.

For Ye Lingyue’s Ancient Dragon Blood, Feng Xun had almost lost his life, and now Ye Lingyue was sending back just some paper cranes?

This made the Earth Venerate feel that Feng Xun was being vastly underappreciated.

”I can say with utmost confidence that those Fortune Cranes can stabilize Feng Xun’s condition,” Ye Lingyue would naturally not reveal to the Earth Venerate that those cranes held a secret; they contained Cauldron Breath.

She was deeply concerned about Feng Xun, but if she could not reclaim her own body, things would only get worse.

The Earth Venerate felt somewhat reassured after hearing this.

”Earth Venerate, there’s an even more pressing matter right now. You must find a way to enter the Imperial Palace tonight. The Beiqing Empress has ill intentions and has invited Feng Lan to the palace this evening,” Ye Lingyue intended to reveal everything about the Elixir Pills and the Empress to the Earth Venerate, but then she thought better of it and quietly withheld the matter regarding the Weimeng Elixir.

During the New Year’s Eve dinner, Ye Lingyue had noticed that, although Feng Lan had not regained his memory, he still had a certain affection for the Earth Venerate, his ”ex-wife.”

But the Earth Venerate still held a grudge for Feng Lan having completely forgotten her; unless given a push, the two would forever remain as they were, which even made Ye Lingyue, their junior, anxious.

”That matter is of no concern to me,” said the Earth Venerate, her face stiffening and showing clear disapproval.

”That may be true, but do you truly wish to let Feng Lan be with your enemies?” Ye Lingyue carefully studied the Earth Venerate’s expression.

The Earth Venerate remained silent.

”Earth Venerate, give it some thought, one misstep leads to a cascade of errors. I’ll head back to Dan Palace to report first,” Ye Lingyue knew the Earth Venerate was just too proud to admit her feelings, so she didn’t press further and instead returned to Dan Palace.
