The Emperor Wants To Marry The Doctor

Chu Liuyue wasn’t courteous at all as she swiftly sat down at the side after thanking her.
Others might be wary of Shangguan Wan’s identity, but not her.

Shangguan Wan saw her carefree manner and was speechless for a moment.
After a momentary pause, she found a topic to start off with.
“Ms.
Chu, I’ve already heard about what happened at the clan competition.
Your talent is really enviable.”

Chu Liuyue smiled.
“Compared to you, Third Princess, my talent is nothing.
I heard that you had already become a stage-seven warrior two years ago.
How can I compare to you?”

Shangguan Wan felt something stuck in her heart.

She was indeed a stage-seven warrior two years ago, but her Yuan meridian was ruined after that incident.
Nothing she did could recover it—she had long become akin to a useless person.

Chu Liuyue’s words were undoubtedly pricking her heart.

She forced a smile, picked up her teacup, and sipped it, hiding the cold expression on her face.
From the corner of her eye, she saw that Chu Liuyue smiled slightly with a sincere expression. That’s true.
There are only three people who know about my condition, including myself.
How would Chu Liuyue know about it?

“My elder sister left me more than a year ago, and I have been devastated over it for a long time.
I fell gravely sick, and even now, I frequently can’t sleep.
Thus, it’s inevitable that I neglected my cultivation.
Sorry for letting you see this joke.”

Chu Liuyue’s eyebrows rose slightly.
“Third Princess’s elder sister should be the late Princess, right? It looks like both of you were on really good terms.
Every time you bring her up, you look very upset.”

“Of course.
I grew up with my elder sister from a young age, and our relationship can’t be compared to others.” Shangguan Wan placed her teacup down—which made quite a sound—before she looked at Chu Liuyue.
“Ms.
Chu, don’t mind me, but you really look quite similar to my elder sister.
So every time I look at you, I’ll think about her.
But speaking of which, Ms.
Chu, you seem to have heard rumors about my elder sister?”

Chu Liuyue’s expression didn’t change.
“Actually, I just heard Young Master Jian mention her a few times.”

Shangguan Wan’s heart tingled.
“Oh? Jian Fengchi? What did he tell you?”

Chu Liuyue smiled nonchalantly.
“When Young Master Jian first met me, he said that I looked like someone from his past, and he mentioned a few small incidents between them.
I only found out that he was talking about the Princess after I came to Xi Ling.”

Chu Liuyue pushed the blame to Jian Fengchi without hesitation. Shangguan Wan will definitely suspect Jian Fengchi, but it’s impossible for her to start a conflict with him over this.
In the past, Jian Fengchi was on quite good terms with Shangguan Wan, but now…

Chu Liuyue also didn’t know what happened between them, but it was clear that the two of them weren’t as close as before.

Jian Fengchi had always been carefree.
If he hated a person, he definitely wouldn’t let that person have a good time.
This was the case for the late Shangguan Yue and naturally even more so toward Shangguan Wan.

“I see… It’s not strange that he’d tell you about this because he always had a good relationship with my elder sister.
After she passed on, he was sad for quite some time,” said Shangguan Wan slowly as she looked down.

Chu Liuyue was dazed. Jian Fengchi… was sad for me? How could that be? Back then, both of us hated each other when we saw each other.
Whenever Jian Fengchi had the chance, he would go against me and cause trouble for me.
I didn’t expect…

“Forget it; let’s not talk about that.
I heard that you came from Country Yao Chen outside Heaven’s Canopy, right?”

Chu Liuyue nodded.

Shangguan Wan looked at her and slightly smiled as she seemingly asked unintentionally, “I heard that you were born with a lacking Yuan meridian and only officially started cultivating more than a year ago.
I’m quite curious.
How did you… heal your Yuan meridian?”
