Without Further Ado (Part Two)
When Xun Chi’s group arrived at the Emperor’s palace, there were quite a few court officials and imperial concubines gathered around.
Hearing the news, Imperial Consort Xian rushed out of the hall and saw Xun Chi in the group, which caused her to immediately start swaying.
He had long eyebrows that drooped past the shoulders, a beard that was pure white, a radiant energy, and an aura of divinity.
Anyone who saw him would not doubt the accuracy of his title, Deity of Medicine.
Aside from the sage doctor of this era, who else could live to such an age and be in such high spirits?
“Your Highness, take care of yourself. You must be exhausted from taking care of His Majesty.”
Mu Jin was quick to support her, and that was the only reason that she did not lose control.
She glanced at the eldest prince, and the latter gave her a look. Imperial Consort Xian personally stepped forward to invite Xun Chi.
“Deity of Medicine, His Majesty is in the palace. Please come in.”
The imperial guards stationed outside the palace saw the sword at Tian Shu’s hip and wanted to stop him.
Eunuch Gao’s expression changed, but it was already too late to stop them.
The cold-faced disciple in white glared at the people blocking them, “The things from Immortals Valley are not to be touched by outsiders.”
“Honored guest, swords are not permitted to be brought next to His Majesty. These are the rules of our Eastern Ling’s imperial palace. Please…”
Before he could finish speaking, Xun Chi got annoyed and said: “So annoying! You are the ones who invited me to treat the Emperor’s illness. If you dare to keep mouthing off, I won’t treat him!”
Upon hearing these arrogant words, some of the officials said in fright: “H-h-how… How could you dare…”
Xun Chi waved his sleeve, and a strong gust pushed the door open. He then disappeared in front of everyone’s eyes.
“Wh-wh-where… is he?”
Yu Fu said: “Eunuch Gao, master has a strange temperament. If he says that he won’t treat him, he really might decide to not treat him.”
After saying this, she gave Eunuch Gao a profound look and led Tian Shu into the hall.
Eunuch Gao shuddered but immediately recovered and headed into the hall.
Imperial Consort Xian lifted the hem of her dress, wanting to go into the palace, but with another gust of wind, the door was heavily closed.
With a bang, all of the officials and imperial concubines were held outside.
While everyone was hesitating, they could only turn their eyes on Gu ShuBai. This easily-annoyed Deity of Medicine was living in Marquis Gu’s Manor.
Gu ShuBai said: “The Deity of Medicine has a strange temperament. He is also the same in Marquis Gu’s Manor, and it’s very difficult for me. But since he said that he will save His Majesty, he should save him, right? There’s no need to pay any mind to something like that sword. Everyone also saw the Deity of Medicine’s divine power. If he wants to kill someone, there’s absolutely no need for a sword.”
After saying this, he let out a long sigh, “Even I was kicked down from the top of a tree by him. His movements were too fast. They were so fast that I couldn’t even react.”
Frightening!
Did he want to kill Gu ShuBai or something?
Right, they had heard that Marquis Gu’s Manor had privately announced an engagement for Gu Shubai and Yu Fu, and this Deity of Medicine was very unhappy. Even now, he has yet to agree.
The second prince looked around at the officials, “That’s right. The Deity of Medicine does indeed have a strange temperament. Today, in Marquis Gu’s Manor, he had Marquis Gu kneel to him before he was willing to come into the palace to treat father Emperor…”
What did he say?
He had Gu HuaiJiang kneel?!
This Deity of Medicine was too much. He was truly too much. He actually dared to humiliate the most venerated marquis general of Eastern Ling!
Was being able to treat illness so amazing?
It was indeed amazing.
Even if they were displeased by Xun Chi’s offensive deeds, everyone had to obediently wait outside the palace.
When it came to the Deity of Medicine’s rumored ability possibly being fake, the empress dowager living to the age of 80 before passing away was evidence against this.
To have that ability, it was no wonder he was so hot-tempered.
Imperial Consort Xian listened to the conversation between the officials, as they talked about how exceptional Xun Chi’s abilities were and how much the empress dowager benefited. The more she heard, the paler she became.
With such a skilled doctor, would the poison that the eldest prince had used be noticed?
If he noticed it, would the investigation lead to herself and the eldest prince…
Amidst the crowd, the leader of the civil officials, Yin Shuo, quietly stood there and watched Imperial Consort Xian’s expressions.
The reactions from the mother and son duo were really quite entertaining.
In the hall, Emperor Ning lay on his bed with only a sliver of consciousness remaining.
In his stupor, he saw a divine person in white clothes drift toward him. He was surrounded by a divine aura that invoked feelings of reverence from all who saw him.
He could barely raise his hand and performed a fitting gesture, “Amitabha Buddha, sir immortal must have come from afar. Please forgive Us for not going out to greet you.”
He mistook Xun Chi for a Daoist but performed a Buddhist greeting.
Yu Fu saw this and immediately knew that things were not good. The person behind the poisoning must have felt that things were progressing too slowly. He should not be poisoned to such a degree.
Eunuch Gao stood to the side and reminded, “Your Majesty, this is the great Deity of Medicine. He came to examine you.”
Xun Chi waved his hand, and a silver needle flew out from his sleeve, landing on Emperor Ning’s brow.
Eunuch Gao covered his mouth in fear; however, Emperor Ning slowly began to regain his consciousness. The look in his eyes slowly began clearing up.
“So it was the Deity of Medicine. We finally managed to have Our wish come true. Back then, Our mother Empress was saved by you. Decades have passed, yet… yet you do not seem to have changed at all.”
Emperor Ning still remembered Xun Chi, but Xun Chi no longer remembered him.
He ran his fingers through his beard and sat on the chair brought out by Eunuch Gao, “Cut the pointless talk and extend your arm.”
