Chapter 220: Went outside the palace, Xiao Zian is dying
Although Divine Doctor Mo was old and experienced many things, he was not familiar with politics. He doesn’t understand how the emperor’s brain works. So, when he heard the emperor’s question, he didn’t think much about it: “Xiao w.a.n.gfei’s medical skills are indeed extraordinary. She can give Xiao w.a.n.gye acupuncture treatment. Acupuncture points were a very complex thing, this old one only instructed Xiao w.a.n.gfei once, but she could remember them well.”
“Really?” The Emperor’s mood becomes much worst.
It seems that he really did help Xiao Tianyao. Without this marriage, Xiao Tianyao’s legs will stay crippled.
At this time, Divine Doctor Mo still didn’t notice the strange behavior of the emperor. So, when he remembered some things from the past, he asked in curiosity: “Huangshang, this old one was somewhat puzzled. Xiao w.a.n.gfei was very skillful. How come she has chronic poison in her body? Why did Xiao w.a.n.gye choose to use this old one to heal his legs than her?”
The Emperor understood Xiao Tianyao’s thoughts: “Because Xiao w.a.n.gye doesn’t believe in her skills. And at that time, she was… …very young.” In other words, who will believe to a doctor who has chronic poison on her body? Even him, he would believe Divine Doctor Mo, who was famous.
It seems like Xiao Tianyao was really hopeless, so he let Lin Chujiu cure his legs. But as a result, he hit the jackpot!
“This old one understands.” When it comes to the Lin family affairs, Divine Doctor Mo paid no attention.
The Emperor was very upset, he wanted Divine Doctor Mo to retreat early. But suddenly, he remembered Xiao Tianyao’s revenge, so he gave him a reminder: “Xiao w.a.n.gye’s eyes are very sharp. He must have learned that Tiancang Pavilion sold the travel route of his grains and medicines. That’s why it was robbed. And so, he directly destroyed the Tiancang Pavilion. With his temper, he will never let go of those people who robbed his things. You should give them a message in advance if you don’t want Xiao w.a.n.gye to catch any of them.”
Ants can kill an elephant. Although they were only a small fry people, they were useful at times. So, the Emperor doesn’t mind helping those robbers a bit.
Divine Doctor Mo’s facial expression greatly changed: “This old one understood, thank you huangshang for the reminder.” After paying respect, Divine Doctor Mo hurriedly walked away.
Originally, because Xiao Tianyao’s legs were crippled. He had a little bit of connection with him. But, his medical skills were not as good as the people claimed, so… …
Xiao Tianyao’s legs become hopeless not long ago. And with his prestige in some sects, he gathered a group of young people to robbed Xiao Tianyao’s things.
The reason why those people stole Xiao Tianyao’s things, was not only to get his favor but also because they believed in his words that Xiao Tianyao’s legs cannot be cured.
But now, Xiao Tianyao’s legs were not only cured but also taking revenge. This event did not only gave a huge slap on his face but also made him the cause of others death.
If he won’t handle this thing clearly. He will not only lose his fame but also lose the connections with the sects.
Divine Doctor Mo walked out of the palace hall in a hurry. But while on the road, he met a small eunuch who came rus.h.i.+ng to him. In irritation, he kicked the small eunuch away: “Move away!”
In order to show courtesy to Divine Doctor Mo, the Emperor had allowed him to freely leave and enter the palace. Divine Doctor Mo knows his place and situation. So, he never walks around the palace, nor leave the palace.
But this time, things were different, he has no other choice but to leave and rush outside the palace.
Divine Doctor Mo hurriedly went to the palace gate, the palace guard blocked his way. So, he has no choice but to take out the token that the emperor has given him: “This old man will go out.”
After the palace guards checked and verified the token, they no longer stopped Divine Doctor Mo.
Coincidentally, Divine Doctor Mo hasn’t left the palace for a long time, when a small eunuch from the Third Prince courtyard chase after him. The small eunuch was running out of breath, but when he saw the palace guards, he immediately asked: “Have you seen Divine Doctor Mo? Where is he?” He didn’t saw Divine Doctor Mo in the palace. Someone had said to him that Divine Doctor Mo walked towards the palace gate. So, he chased after him in a hurry.
“Divine Doctor Mo? That gray-haired old man with a white long beard?” Divine Doctor Mo’s ident.i.ty was special in the palace. So, the palace guards can remember one or two of his appearance.
The small eunuch nodded his head quickly and said: “Yes, yes, that’s Divine Doctor Mo. Have you seen him?”
“He went outside the palace, about a quarter of an hour ago. He seems very anxious and was in a hurry. I’m afraid, you failed to catch up.” The palace guards kindly reminded the small eunuch. The small eunuch’s face changed: “Oh, this is bad!”
The small eunuch refused to take a break. He turned around and ran inside the palace. He hasn’t arrived inside the Third Prince’s room, but he shouted: “Imperial Concubine, Divine Doctor Mo, Divine Doctor Mo, he… …”
“Have you found Divine Doctor Mo?” Although Imperial Concubine Zhou has some suspicion, she has no other choice but to depend on Divine Doctor Mo. The palace also has a talented doctor, Imperial Doctor Qin, but he can’t cure the Third Prince’s disease.
The small eunuch busily shook his head: “Divine Doctor Mo went outside the palace. He left a quarter of an hour ago. He didn’t say where he will go. I failed to catch up.”
“He went outside the palace at this time?” Imperial Concubine Zhou‘s face changed. She couldn’t help but sneer, after hearing the small eunuch’s words.
Sure enough, Divine Doctor Mo wanted to pave a clear road for his daughter. He wanted to eradicate her and Xiao Zian.
If that was not the case, how can Xiao Zian’s condition suddenly become serious? And he left at this crucial moment?
If her son suddenly died, can she blame him when he was outside the palace?
“Zian… just wait, okay? Mother will not let something bad happen to you.” Imperial Concubine Zhou was using her son to fight for the Emperor’s favor, but she truly cares about him. With the Emperor’s favor for her, she can give birth to another son, but she didn’t do it.
For many years, Imperial Concubine Zhou has been guarding Xiao Zian, who was in a poor health. She never thought of giving up Xiao Zian, nor gave birth to another son.
“Get out of the way, this imperial concubine wants to see the emperor.” For her strong desire to save her son, Imperial Concubine Zhou erased the tears in her face and pulled out her hair accessories, making her appearance looks pitiful.
After the Emperor sent away Divine Doctor Mo, he didn’t call his palace ministers. He keeps thinking of a way on how he will give trouble to Xiao Tianyao.
Now that Xiao Tianyao’s legs were cured, his current advantages will not only disappear but will also put him at disadvantage.
He must find a way to reverse the situation, but… …
He hasn’t come up with a plan, when he heard Imperial Concubine Zhou‘s heartbreaking cry: “Huangshang, Huangshang… … I beg you, please save our son. Huangshang, this concubine begged you.”
“Imperial Concubine, you can’t go in. Imperial Concubine… … the palace harem is not allowed to enter the imperial court. Please, this slave asked Imperial Concubine to leave.” The Emperor’s eunuch stopped Imperial Concubine Zhou.
Imperial Concubine Zhou struggled to get inside, but she never really planned to cross the line. She just shouted and shouted: “I want to see the emperor, I want to see the emperor. Huangshang, Zian is dying… … I can’t help him. Let me see the emperor, even if it cost me my life, I have to get in and beg the emperor. Huangshang, please save my son… …”
