On the third floor of the Medical Pavilion, a beautiful man is feeding a crow that is staying in a cage. The rare smile is showing on his face, which, most of the time, can only be seen if he is with his favorite pets."Master, shopkeeper Yu is here to see you." Xi Ma told the man but heard no response after a while.
Xi Ma knows that the master is aware of the commotion from the lower level of the Medical Pavilion.
He is also aware that all the things that were said on the lower level are heard by the master.
Mortals that have high cultivation have enhanced senses and he is sure his master have very sharp senses.
Looking at his master, Xi Ma felt that he was not heard. "Master?"
"I"m not deaf. Why so noisy?"
Xi Ma bowed and just looked at his dirty shoes. "Master, if it"s noisy, why are we not back yet to the palace?" He muttered.
His master, His Highness Prince Wei Jiayi, seldom goes out from his palace. He even seldom visits the Medical Pavilion, so not many know that he owns it.
If they know, they will surely curry favor with the Prince that they sometimes call a b.a.s.t.a.r.d when he is not around.
Many say that Prince Wei Jiayi was not really the son of the current emperor and he was just bestowed with the prince t.i.tle.
Despite all of these facts, it is forbidden to have any matter regarding the origin of Prince Wei discussed with the emperor as he dotes on him too much to the extent that the emperor just allows him to do all the things that he wants.
For Xi Ma, it will be a good sight to see those officials" embarra.s.sed faces when they learn that the Medical Pavilion is owned by the supposed b.a.s.t.a.r.d prince.
Xi Ma knows that his master does not want the throne, but since he is still a prince, even though he does not show his capabilities, the other princes still feel threatened.
Just like a snake that wants to swallow an elephant, their greed may end up killing them.
The number of high-ranking officials that Prince Wei is comfortable with can be counted on one hand. One of them is Left Minister Gao Qi.
Despite knowing that he can take advantage of the master"s generosity, Minister Gao still insisted payment for the blood replenis.h.i.+ng pill given by the master.
It was just unfortunate that the humble and trustworthy official has got a rogue daughter!
They know what happened. They also know the current condition of the Gao young miss. Judging by the severe wounds, it may take a while before she can recover.
She may also not able to get any husband because of the possible scars that were left by the incident.
At least she lived. If she continues chasing the second prince though, her father may die early because of worry. She may even end up dead next time.
"Deal with Yu An and the thing downstairs." Xi Ma heard his master Wei Jiayi. Yu An is shopkeeper Yu.
"Yes, master." Xi Ma bowed and went outside the room.
…..
Outside the room, shopkeeper Yu is preparing to speak with Wei Jiayi.
The door opened, but before he was able to get in or say anything, Xi Ma already closed it after coming out it from it.
"Let"s go." "Xi Ma said, then walked pa.s.sed shopkeeper Yu.
"Go? I have not even spoken with the owner yet!" Thinking this, he looked at the closed door, shook his head and just decided to follow Xi Ma.
