Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort

Chapter 246: Chapter 246: Return of the King (Part 7)

After resting for a while in the residence, Mu Qingge rode Black Flame towards the Imperial Palace.

Back then, the extra Flame Horse had already been sent to Mu Xiong’s place by her order. To avoid trouble, Mu Xiong specially selected five Flame Horses to send into the palace, offering them to Qin Cang.

Therefore, the guards watching the palace gate were envious but not surprised to see Mu Qingge’s Flame Horse.

They only made secret comparisons between this magnificent Flame Horse and the five kept in the palace, concluding without exception that the one Mu Qingge rode exuded more of a regal bearing, and was more beautiful and agile.

At the final palace gate, unable to ride in, Mu Qingge had to dismount and proceed on foot to meet Qin Cang.

Towards this suspicious and selfish Emperor, Mu Qingge indeed held no affection. After meeting in the Imperial Study Room and having a few inconsequential conversations, she was dismissed by Qin Cang.

Turning around, she headed towards the Inner Courtyard of the Imperial Palace.

In the palace, there was one more person she had to pay respects to. That was the Empress Dowager!

Courtesy, courtesy, really something one cannot come to like!

Thinking of her grandfather’s words, Mu Qingge could only head towards Cixiang Palace where the Empress Dowager resided. It was to ensure she left no grounds for others to attack her.

Only, what Mu Qingge did not expect was to receive a cold shoulder after patiently arriving at Cixiang Palace.

Someone from the palace came out and conveyed that the Empress Dowager was taking a nap. She was told to leave the palace and wait for the Empress Dowager to summon her another day. The implication was: you can’t see the Empress Dowager just because you want to. Be obedient and stay at home; when she remembers and feels interested in seeing you, she will call you.

Brushing her sleeves, Mu Qingge turned around and left.

Not seeing? Suits her just fine!

She hadn’t forgotten that the two people she met today in the palace were the ones who previously ordered her assassination.

That she hadn’t taken a certain Emperor’s life earlier in the Imperial Study Room was already her restraining herself for the greater good, wasn’t it?

Heading towards the palace exit, Mu Qingge couldn’t help but quicken her pace.

The air in this Imperial Palace was so thin it made her feel uncomfortable.

Suddenly, she sensed someone approaching from behind, yet it carried no malice.

As her eyes flashed, she abandoned her defense, allowing the person behind to pounce.

Suddenly, her vision went dark as a pair of soft, faintly fragrant hands covered her eyes.

”Guess who I am!” A deliberately lowered voice, full of unmistakable joy, came from behind.

Even if the owner of the voice tried to disguise it, Mu Qingge instantly recognized who it was. She subtly smiled and said, without moving, ”Princess Yongle.”

”Ah! Little brother, you’re so boring, recognizing me so quickly.” The hands in front of her eyes instantly released, and the fragrance lingering around her nose floated away.

As her vision returned, Mu Qingge turned to look at the girl only shoulder-height to herself.

Compared to the meeting a year ago, the girl had grown taller. Yet, her chubby face hadn’t changed much, and her features were more delicate and pure.

The high-waisted palace dress enhanced her charm, and the loose skirt added an air of agility and grace.

The long hair was no longer in two pigtails but simply tied into one braid, cascading down her shoulder. Among the dark hair, only simple adornments were used, giving a fresh and ethereal appearance.

”Little brother, you finally returned. Did you come to see Lianlian?” Qin Yilian asked adorably, blinking her big eyes.

The expectant look in her eyes made it hard to say no.

However, Mu Qingge still truthfully replied, ”I came to see your father and also the Empress Dowager.”
