The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince!-Chapter 1388 - 1383: Zi Wei Has a Daughter?
Chapter 1388 -1383: Zi Wei Has a Daughter?
Chen Qingshui nodded slightly after hearing her, “Yes, Princess.”
She went down to fetch the medicine to treat her wounds, and upon coming out, she saw Zhuo Qing and a person clad in a black cloak entering the chamber.
Zhuo Qing was familiar to her, but the person beside her was a mystery, gender unknown. Zhuo Qing seemed to harbor great hostility towards her, yet that person exuded an air of mysteriousness.
Chen Qingshui usually didn’t meddle in affairs that were not her own, concerned only with the affairs of Long Guan City, thus she did not pay much attention.
Yun Dan and Zhuo Qing had come to meet Chen Ruobai together, evidently having received news that something was amiss in Long Guan City, which had alarmed them both.
Zhuo Qing reported, “Princess, Long Guan City is a city of corpse puppets, and the army of corpse puppets all comes from there. Now, Su Yingxue has investigated and likely discovered a method to break the power of the corpse puppet army, which is certainly disadvantageous for us. If this war drags on, the people of Ji Yun Country will all suffer disastrously, the consequences will be extensive, and dead bodies will cover the fields! In the end, all the women of the nation won’t meet a good fate either!”
“Do you mean to say that you want this princess to surrender to Chu Yihan?” Chen Ruobai’s gaze turned icy, a oppressive aura emanating from her.
Yun Dan also spoke up in time, “Lord Zhuo, do you now wish to surrender? Do you really think, after surrendering, that the women of Ji Yun Country will be well-treated? Chu Yihan could simply replace the king of Ji Yun Country, would Lord Zhuo along with the current female officials and palace guards not end up disgraced and executed?”
Zhuo Qing candidly replied, “If sacrificing our lives can bring tranquility to the majority of the populace, I have no fear of death.”
She already knew she had erred, had taken a wrong path, and must be responsible for it, paying the price with her life was not unjustifiable!
“Zhuo Qing, who allowed you to speak such words?” Chen Ruobai impatiently threw a teacup at Zhuo Qing’s head.
Zhuo Qing, with a bleeding head, knelt down in pain, “Calm your anger, Princess! Though your humble servant has erred, I was ultimately considering the princess and the people. The corpse puppet army is too brutal, our previous policies were indeed flawed. As the Prime Minister assisting you, Your Highness, I made serious mistakes in policy, which is a grave responsibility of mine. I am determined to atone with my death, not failing you, Princess… But, knowing our wrongs, why should we persist in these errors?”

Continuing to create corpse puppets and venting anger on men would only aggravate public disdain and intensify civil strife. Without a standard, losing balance between men and women is ultimately unsustainable.
Having erred, why not make amends?
The sage once said, to know one’s errors and correct them is the greatest of goodness!
A fury welled up in Chen Ruobai, who stood up from her throne and stormed down, grabbing Zhuo Qing by her clothes, pulling her close, her eyes bloodshot, “Mistake! Mistake! You realize your mistake now! How did you speak to this princess at first? You said men are foul contaminants, that women should strengthen themselves and stand independent, that women could also be officials and establish a country, and now you start to refute your own statements?”
“Your servant wasn’t wrong in my intentions, but Princess… your methods were truly cruel!”
Zhuo Qing had always been fearful of speaking the truth in front of Chen Ruobai, but now, if she didn’t speak, it would truly be too late!
Chen Ruobai was nearing madness!
Previously with Mu Rongche around, although she would vent her anger on others, she still retained some rationality, at least able to consider some of Mu Rongche’s words.
Now that Mu Rongche had been captured by Chu Yihan, she was like someone who had lost her heart, killing people day by day, practicing with corpse puppets incessantly, causing her own body to break down.
She was cultivating the King Gu using her body as the vessel, which was not a means to extend her life. Now, by accelerating her gu cultivation, her vital essence had collapsed.
Zhuo Qing looked at her with heartache, noticing strands of silver amidst her black hair, “Princess, your cultivation of the Gu hurts others, but it also harms yourself! Look, your white hair!”
She lifted a strand of Chen Ruobai’s white hair, tears falling in pity.
Chen Ruobai, startled, exclaimed, “This is… my hair?”
Had it started turning white already?
As the King Gu consumed her essence blood to produce gu insects, her proliferation of white hair was a sign of her depleted essence blood.
Was she about to die?
Chen Ruobai threw Zhuo Qing aside, filled with deep hatred in her heart!
“Mu Rongche hasn’t been captured yet, this princess cannot die!”
Chen Ruobai screamed with all her might.
She hadn’t even killed all the people of Lian Hai Kingdom yet, why should she die before them?
Seeing her unsettled mind, Yun Dan immediately supported her and whispered in her ear, “Princess, do not worry. I have a way to prolong your life, and you will surely achieve immortality.”
“What way?” Chen Ruobai narrowed her eyes. She knew immortality was impossible, but if there was a way to rejuvenate her spirit now, she could cultivate more Gu insects. Otherwise, she would definitely be defeated by Chu Yihan!
Yun Dan helped Chen Ruobai return to her chamber. When Zhuo Qing saw her again, her white hair had turned back to black, and her vitality seemed much improved.
Chen Ruobai ordered, “Zhuo Qing, bring all the members of Lian Hai Kingdom’s royal family before me.”
“Princess, what are you going to do?” Zhuo Qing had a bad feeling.
Chen Ruobai did not tell her, but a reminder from Yun Dan sparked an idea for a countermeasure in her.
Chu Yihan had sent people to probe her Long Guan City, so she would take the opportunity to strike first while he was unprepared!

The east was brightening, and orange-gold sunlight spread across the grassland, the breeze bringing a vibrant scene.
Three people stood beside a hot air balloon, looking at each other with varied expressions in their eyes.
Zi Wei was extremely nervous, fearing that Su Yingxue would no longer want him.
Yue Lian was silently holding back her concern for Zi Wei.
Su Yingxue felt complicated. She did not know why Yue Lian suddenly appeared to save her, but at that moment, all she wanted to say was, “You two…did you plan this?”
To forgo a peaceful and happy life to return to her side?
Yue Lian had an answer in her heart, obviously something she and Zi Wei had discussed.
But Zi Wei did not want Su Yingxue to find out!
Since he was poor at lying, it was up to her to cover it up.
Her face lifted into a pure smile, “What are you saying, Your Majesty? I’m not acquainted with this palace guard at all! Isn’t he one of Your Majesty’s men?”
“He is, but he…” Su Yingxue was puzzled and tested them further, “You and your husband are joking with Her Majesty in this manner, and Her Majesty is not pleased!”
In an instant, Yue Lian knelt down, “This humble woman was not joking with Your Majesty. Please forgive me!”
Zi Wei also knelt, remaining silent.
“Not joking? When I initially allowed Zi Wei to leave Jiang Du City, he needn’t have returned to Her Majesty’s side in this life, yet you indulged him and even changed his appearance? How did you manage that?” What puzzled Su Yingxue the most was this!
Yue Lian’s hands clenched and then slightly relaxed, “Your Majesty misunderstands! My husband is at home accompanying our daughter and did not come with me.”
She looked up, feigning confusion.
This indeed made Su Yingxue pause, “You have a daughter now?”
