The Divine Physician’s Overbearing Wife

Hence, if the people out there knew that a spirit beast had attained Holy Warrior tier, simply no one would turn a blind eye to this.

In the ferocious wind, a beautiful lady came into sight. The lady was devastatingly gorgeous, her beauty could bring the city to its knees.

Standing aloof from the masses, the lady looked so imposing just like a reigning monarch.

“Ah Wang, Fu Chen, don’t let go of the people here. Move!”

***

In the imperial city of Tianyue Kingdom.

In the imperial study, a middle-aged man in bright yellow robes was sitting upright, flipping through the memorial in his hand.

At this time, an anxious voice spoke from outside. Someone barged into the imperial study and hurriedly kneeled down without even pronouncing his arrival.

“Your Majesty, something bad has happened! The spirit beasts are attacking the palace!”

‘What?’

Bang!

The memorial in his hand fell to the ground. He got up hastily.

“The spirit beasts are attacking the palace? Where is the eldest prince? Where is the retired emperor?”

“Both the eldest prince and the retired emperor… have passed”

“…” The color drained from the emperor’s face.

The emperor had always been living a carefree life and had left everything to the eldest prince and the retired emperor. All he needed to do was to read through the memorials and spend time with his concubines and consorts. He did not even need to care about the battles.

Now, someone was telling him that both the eldest prince and the retired emperor were dead?

“Why are these spirit beasts attacking the palace?” The emperor asked a long while after he had slumped to the ground, his eyes blank.

“Your Majesty, it is related to the lady—Gu Yiyi whom the eldest prince forcibly brought into the palace not long ago. She was the friend of the spirit beasts’ master. These spirit beasts are here for revenge,” the eunuch replied fearfully.

The emperor was aware of Gu Yiyi. She was irresistibly adorable and even the eldest prince who had never fallen for anyone before could not help falling in love with her and wanted to make her his side consort 1.

The emperor had agreed to it although he knew that the eldest prince had forcibly brought Gu Yiyi back to the palace.

The eldest prince would be the crown prince of Tianyue Kingdom in the future while Gu Yiyi was only an ordinary lady. He could naturally make anyone his consort. Moreover, Gu Yiyi would only be a side consort. Hence, she was not a threat to the principal consort.

However, the emperor had never thought that Gu Yiyi was so powerful and could ruin the entire Tianyue Kingdom.

“Open the palace’s gate.” The emperor had suddenly made up his mind. He got up from the Dragon Throne, staggered to his feet, swaying a little.

Shocked, the eunuch’s eyes widened.

“Your Majesty, we can’t do this. Once the gate is opened, the spirit beasts would rush into the palace. Hundreds and thousands of people would lose their lives!”

“Well, tell me. How many people have died in front of the palace gate?”

“None of them survived!”

“Since you know that the entire army has been wiped out and even the retired emperor could not stop these spirit beasts, do you think this small palace gate and the weak forces left in the palace could stop them? Tell me. Besides the people that the eldest prince had brought with him, how many more people have died?”

Stunned, the eunuch contemplated.

It had been a few days since the spirit beasts had come into the imperial city. However, it seemed that besides robbing the people, they had never hurt anyone. They only beat up the man who had bullied the spirit beasts and then rescued the spirit beasts from them.

“Open the palace’s gate. If we don’t open it now, it will be too late when they barge into the palace themselves.”

The emperor closed his eyes.

It was just a short moment, but he seemed to have aged a few decades. He even had a little hump on his back.
