The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1402 - 1486: Loved Deep Within the Heart

Chapter 1402: Chapter 1486: Loved Deep Within the Heart
Hong Fei and Liu Yan received the order and immediately went to retrieve the remaining food, while Dong Huiying secretly found it amusing.
Doesn’t Yun Ge fall under the category of saying one thing but doing another, with a tough mouth but a soft heart?
Her slightly aloof demeanor truly makes her endearing to others from the bottom of their hearts.
After the meal, Dong Huiying suddenly thought of a question. She looked at Prince Meng with a mysterious expression: "I remember, there’s a double hidden in the secret passage of Prince’s study, who takes the Prince’s place when he’s not at the mansion, to avoid people’s notice?"
Prince Meng was rinsing his mouth and paused as he nodded, "Indeed, there is a double, hasn’t the Marshal seen it?"
"I dare not take on such a title, for I am currently without official position," Dong Huiying’s refusal was in response to Prince Meng calling her Marshal. Then she looked towards Ji Jiuhuang, who was eating like a small cat with her mouth stained with oil. "Since the Prince has a double, why hasn’t the Ninth Princess been given one and instead left to suffer in the palace?"
From Ji Jiuhuang’s disheveled appearance alone, one could tell she was living poorly in the Cold Palace. Even though many of the guards in the Cold Palace were people of Prince Meng, they could secretly care for Ji Jiuhuang. For instance, Ji Jiuhuang appeared dirty, but only on the surface; once she takes off her outer clothing, she’s clean inside.
In short, tied up in the palace, Dong Huiying couldn’t understand why Prince Meng cared for Ji Jiuhuang but left her to suffer in the palace. Couldn’t he find a double like a Hidden Guard to impersonate Ji Jiuhuang? By doing so, he could relocate Ji Jiuhuang to another place for better care, preventing incidents like Qinghe choking Ji Jiuhuang today.
Prince Meng’s face darkened. Even Yun Ge cast a suspicious glance at him. Clearly, he valued Ji Jiuhuang, so why was he watching her sink into the flames of suffering without doing anything?
Prince Meng felt bitter.
"Do you think I don’t want to?" This ’you’ not only answered Dong Huiying but also addressed Yun Ge’s questioning gaze.
Prince Meng sighed, "I don’t wish for her to be like this either, but there are certain things she must do."
"What does that mean?"
Prince Meng looked desolate: "This situation with a double, if you could think of it, don’t you think Lao Ba couldn’t? So he comes to test Ninth Sister from time to time. The Marshal once experienced Resurgence, so should understand that the Phoenix Blood in Ninth Sister is keenly attuned to Ancestors Resurgence. Each time they’d send a dozen people, among whom only one is an Ancestor Resurgence, and only the possessor of Phoenix Blood would sense the Ancestor Resurgence. Just this hurdle is hard to pass; a double could disguise as Ninth Sister, mimic her voice or personality, but the Phoenix Blood part is beyond imitation."
"Furthermore, there is one other crucial factor."
"After Ninth Sister first went mad, I once felt despair, but in truth, she regains some sanity from time to time. Over the years, both my endurance and Ninth Sister’s patience were part of a larger plan."
At this point, Prince Meng lowered his voice: "There’s something I’m not sure if you’re aware of. Dayuan has Five Ancient Aristocratic Families, which have been passed down for many years, seemingly since the first Emperor of Dayuan founded the nation. These families must remain loyal to the royal court. And the only one who can command these five families is none other than the reigning Empress!"
