Reborn As Divine Doctor to Rule the World
Chapter 263 - Chapter 263 Chapter 264 Be My Wife

Chapter 263: Chapter 264: Be My Wife Chapter 263: Chapter 264: Be My Wife Pei Chengye left the Flower Tower disheveled, with red lipstick marks all over his face, and his hair strewn about.

“It’s best if I don’t catch that person, otherwise… Ow, let’s go, let’s hurry back.”

Pei Chengye cried out in pain as his guards quickly helped him leave.

The next day, all of Capital City knew that the Second Prince had gone to the Flower Tower and appeared very wretched when he came out, as if he had undergone a major struggle, which inevitably led to wild speculations about what the Second Prince had actually done at the Flower Tower.

Upon learning this news, the Empress was so furious that she smashed her teacup onto the floor.

With a “smack,” the porcelain cup shattered upon impact.

“This Cheng’er is really too careless! How could he be so easily schemed against!” the Empress said angrily.

The palace maids within the bedroom quickly cleaned up the broken porcelain while the nanny beside the Empress consoled her, “Your Majesty, don’t worry. If someone had intentionally set a trap for the Second Prince, he could have fallen for it no matter how cautious he was. What’s most important now is to find out who wishes to scheme against the Second Prince.”

The Empress immediately agreed with the nanny’s words and nodded, “We should indeed investigate thoroughly to find out who is plotting against Cheng’er behind his back!”

“What has Pei Huaian been up to recently?” the Empress always felt uneasy about him and considered him a lingering threat.

But now, getting rid of him without attracting the Emperor’s attention proved to be quite difficult; she could only keep a close watch on him and be ready to act promptly if she discovered anything unusual.

“The Fifth Prince has been at his mansion every day and hasn’t left his estate in recent times.”

“That’s good. Continue to monitor him, and report immediately if there’s any unusual activity,” the Empress said wearily, closing her eyes and massaging her forehead.

“Yes.”

The nanny stepped forward to press her temples to alleviate the headache.

In the estate, Pei Huaian listened to Ah Mo’s report and a cold smile turned up the corners of his mouth. “This is still letting him off easy.”

Ah Mo continued, “Master, recently the Fourth Prince and Princess Ninghe seem to be in communication. It appears the Fourth Prince is using Princess Ninghe to gain leverage.”

The Fourth Prince’s maternal family was insignificant, inadequate for him to summon any real power, so he had to find someone to leverage in order to climb higher.

“Oh?”

This was somewhat unexpected by Pei Huaian; he hadn’t thought the two of them would come together.

“In fact, they are using each other. Princess Ninghe wants to use the Fourth Prince to probe into your affair with Doctor Shao and the child, while the Fourth Prince wants to ingratiate himself with Princess Ninghe. It’s a perfect match for the two of them.”

“Ha, they must be bored out of their minds. Since they’re so eager to come together, if I don’t pair them up, it would be a waste of their efforts to come together.”

Pei Huaian wanted to take this opportunity to pair them up, so he could shake off Princess Ninghe and avoid being pressured into marriage, sparing Shao He from misconceptions.

“Your subordinate understands,” Ah Mo knew his master well and understood what he intended to do.

Pei Huaian looked up at the night sky before climbing over the wall.

When Shao He returned home, she saw Pei Huaian, who was playing with the child, and rolled her eyes.

Knowing she was probably in a bad mood, Pei Huaian immediately put down the child and approached her, saying, “You’re going to enter the palace tomorrow for a follow-up examination for Father Emperor, right? I’ll accompany you.”

“You’re going with me?” Shao He asked in surprise.

Seeing that he was serious, she frowned unhappily, “You’re still under house arrest for ten more days until the three-month period is complete. Going to the palace at this time might displease the Emperor. What if the Emperor blames you and punishes you more severely?”

Even she didn’t realize how much concern and worry filled her words.

Pei Huaian placed a hand on his forehead and said, “I naturally intend to plead with Father Emperor and seek his clemency. If I am confined again, my wife might be taken away by someone else.”

Only then did Shao He remember the disgusting things Pei Chengye had done recently. The matter had already spread far and wide, so it wasn’t surprising that he knew about it.

“He’s just mentally twisted.”

Mentioning Pei Chengye, Shao He felt a burst of anger inside her.

“He’s only interested in your medical skills, and he’s more afraid that you’ll be used by me, so he intentionally approached you,” Pei Huaian thought to himself, feeling even guiltier.

He lowered his eyes, hiding the emotions that lay beneath them.

Shao He glanced sideways at the person beside her and said irritably, “I’m well aware of his purpose, but I have nothing but contempt for such a despicable approach.”

“I will settle this matter.”

Since he had caused the situation, he naturally intended to resolve it.

Pei Huaian paused for a moment before tentatively asking, “About what I asked you the other day, have you decided?”

“What matter?” Shao He knit her brow.

Pei Huaian took a deep breath, his face reddening slightly as he said, “The matter of becoming my wife.”

Shao He’s eyes widened as she looked at Pei Huaian, not expecting him to still remember that!

After listening to him, Shao He was momentarily stunned, complex emotions flickering across her face.

After a while, she suppressed the fluttering emotions in her heart and slowly said, “What if I say no?”

Pei Huaian’s breathing grew heavier as disappointment appeared on his face, his voice tinged with a hint of dejection, “I know I kept things hidden from you initially. I apologize sincerely here and I will try my best to make up for you and the child.”
