The old emperor laughed and said, "I never thought that although the miracle doctor was practicing medicine to save people, he also cared about the world. This is really rare."
Bai Mo was invited by Ruge. He heard that this miracle doctor came from Dongqi, so he was on guard. He also heard that Ruge had gone to Dongqi after being missing for three months. He felt a little touched. This son was really filial as he searched for a famous doctor for him.
The old emperor was touched, but he didn't know that Ruge and Bai Mo were not very familiar with each other, and that the man was not invited by Ruge. None of this mattered. The most important thing was that his illness had improved.
His illness made him see many things and many people clearly...
Bai Mo bowed and smiled, "I am from Dongqi. As a commoner, I naturally hope that the world will be peaceful and free of war. That's why I dare to stay in Dayan for a while longer."
"Hahaha!" The old emperor laughed heartily, "Are you afraid that I will eat you? When two countries are at war, envoys and doctors are not killed. This has been the rule since ancient times. Don't worry, I am a wise ruler and I will not do such a thing as destroying the bridge after crossing the river."
As the saying goes, you can offend anyone but not the doctor, especially a doctor with great medical skills. In this era, medical resources are scarce. If you get angry and kill the doctor, who will you go to for treatment when you get sick in the future
Bai Mo smiled, "Thank you, Your Majesty." Seeing that the old emperor looked refreshed, he would not make things difficult for him, the miracle doctor from Dongqi.
Ever since the serial murders that Yuchi Gongru had committed in the Dongqi Imperial City years ago really challenged the national prestige of Dongqi, Xiao Yimo slammed the table and directly issued a declaration of war to Dayan, demanding an explanation, otherwise he would go to war.
The situation between Dongqi and Dayan is tense. Xiao Yichen brings Ji Lingxue to take advantage of the situation to take revenge on Yuchi Gongru. He also wants to see the attitude of Dayan. After all, the old emperor is getting old, and the next emperor is related to the destiny of Dayan and Dongqi.
In order to allow Xiao Yichen and his princess to have their own world without being disturbed, he sent him ahead. When he arrived at the gate of Dayan Imperial City, Ruge was just going out to seek medical treatment. With the reputation of being a miracle doctor, he was brought into the palace for a treat, but he knew that the old emperor was worried about him, and he had been under surveillance for the past few days.
The old emperor was so happy that he called the eunuch beside him and told him to take Bai Mo downstairs to have some rest. In the evening, he held a banquet in the palace to welcome Bai Mo.
Bai Mo gladly accepted it and followed his father-in-law out.
The old emperor got out of bed, stretched his waist, and sighed, "The sun is so bright today!"
At this time, at Ruge Mansion.
Ji Lingxue turned over and opened her eyes. Ji Lingxue, who was used to being held in Xiao Yichen's arms at night, looked at the empty bed beside her and felt inexplicably lost. It seemed as if something was missing in her heart, empty.
"Why didn't Xiao Yichen come back last night?" she murmured, getting up and changing clothes.
Ji Lingxue walked out of the room and went to the flower hall as usual. Ruge was already sitting there with a sumptuous breakfast in front of her.
Seeing Ji Lingxue coming over, Ruge raised his lips and smiled, then looked behind Ji Lingxue, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He was used to seeing these two people going in and out together every day, so it was really strange to see one of them suddenly missing.
"Don't look anymore, Xiao Yichen is gone..." Ji Lingxue sat down opposite Ruge, poured a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp, her tone very calm.
Ruge said, "He went out last night and never came back. Could he have encountered any danger? Otherwise, I will send someone to look for him secretly." He knew how good Xiao Yichen's kung fu was, but he couldn't understand why Xiao Yichen didn't come back all night. Could it be that he was really tripped up by Yuchi Gongru
Ji Lingxue waved her hand and said, "I entered the Imperial City with him secretly, and he has a special identity. I'm afraid your action will alert the enemy and ruin his plan."
Seeing that Ji Lingxue was not worried at all, Ruge smiled and joked, "You seem to have a lot of confidence in him. Aren't you afraid that he didn't come back last night because he went to a brothel?"
Ji Lingxue picked up the chopsticks and was about to pick up some meat. Hearing this, he looked up at Ruge and smiled, "As a man, it's normal to go anywhere..."
Ruge: "You are so generous. The Prince of Chen is so lucky to have a wife like you."
Are you generous
Ji Lingxue smiled. She has never been generous. If Xiao Yichen was really that kind of man, there wouldn't be no offspring in Prince Chen's Mansion until now.
After finishing breakfast in silence, Ji Lingxue was about to get up when a guard quickly walked towards Ruge, bowed and said, "Master, there is a message from the palace asking you to attend the palace banquet tonight to welcome the genius doctor."
Ji Lingxue raised her eyebrows. The old emperor of Dayan actually recovered from his illness? She turned her head and looked at Ruge.
Ruge nodded and waved her hand, asking the guards to leave.
Ji Lingxue couldn't hold back her anger and asked, "Bai Mo cured your emperor father's illness? This is really cause for celebration."
Bai Mo's medical skills are good, but not enough to bring the dead back to life. On her way to Dayan, she heard that the emperor of Dayan was seriously ill, so how come he is fine so soon
Ruge nodded and said, "That's only temporary. Bai Mo told me that my father has been taking a certain drug for many years. The poison has penetrated into his lungs. It is impossible to eradicate it. He just suppresses it with poison."
Ji Lingxue asked: "Who poisoned your emperor father?" The one who could poison a king must be someone very close to him. Because he trusted him, he did not take precautions.
Ruge shook her head. "I don't know about that. There's no way to find out. Maybe Father knows it himself, but he doesn't want to say it, nor does he want to punish the person who poisoned him."
Ji Lingxue shook her head. The emperor's mind was really hard to guess. He knew it was poisonous but still made people take it willingly. How much must he like the person who poisoned him
For a moment, the hall fell into silence, with only the slight rubbing sounds of spoons against bowls and dishes being heard.
Ji Lingxue asked, "Ruge, can I attend the palace banquet tonight?" She wanted to go into the palace to see if Xiao Yichen had hidden in the palace.
Ruge nodded without asking any reasons. Ji Lingxue had helped him a lot, so he would regard her small request as a way of repaying her, which was something he couldn't ask for more.
Ruge asked: "Under what identity do you want to enter the palace with me?"
Ji Lingxue looked at the men's clothes with disdain. She was tired of wearing men's clothes and it was time to change her outfit.
Ji Lingxue asked: "Are you short of a maid?"
Ruge smiled, and he clapped his hands. Immediately, two maids came out and bowed to Ji Lingxue, "Miss, please follow me."
At night, Ji Lingxue, wearing a maid's uniform and a silver peach blossom hairpin in her hair, got off the carriage behind Ruge. It was her first time to visit the palace of Dayan, so she looked up from time to time.
Ruge walked in front and stopped from time to time to wait for Ji Lingxue to catch up. The two of them entered the banquet hall one after the other.
Yuchi Gongru had been sitting in the hall for a long time, wearing gorgeous clothes under the candlelight.
He was handsome and extraordinary. When he heard the palace servant's report, he turned his head to look at the door. Ji Lingxue, who followed Ruge into the hall, instantly came into his sight.
Yuchi Gongru narrowed his eyes. This was the third time he met Ji Lingxue. The last two times, Ji Lingxue was kidnapped. She was dressed in ordinary clothes, with messy hair, and she didn't look good at all.
When he saw Ji Lingxue again today after she had dressed up carefully, Yuchi Gongru felt amazed.
Xiao Yichen’s woman is really pretty!
Yuchi Gongru licked the wine on his lips and thought, with a wicked smile on his lips. This woman actually attended the palace banquet with Ruge. She is quite brave. Could she think that Ruge would protect her? Just because she is the Princess of Dongqi, she can become a hostage with just one order from him.
While Yuchi Gongru was lost in thought, Ruge walked past him. He smelled a faint fragrance and looked up at Ji Lingxue's back.
Ruge sat down in the seat opposite Yuchi Gongru, raised her head to glance at Yuchi Gongru who had a strange look in his eyes, gave him a warning look, and then turned her eyes away.
Yuchi Gongru sneered in his heart. This royal brother seemed to care about nothing, but he didn't expect him to be so protective of this woman.
At this time, the eunuchs were heard singing loudly, "The Emperor has arrived!" Everyone in the hall kowtowed and bowed to welcome him respectfully.
Ji Lingxue looked up and saw the old emperor, Bai Mo and... Xiao Yichen entered the hall one after another.
Why is Xiao Yichen with Bai Mo
Ji Lingxue really wanted to ask, but the current situation did not allow it, so she had to continue to lower her head and pretend.
When Ji Lingxue lowered her head, she missed Xiao Yichen's meaningful look at her.
The old emperor sat on the main throne and said with a smile: "Everyone, get up!"
Yuchi Gongru and Yuchi Ruge then looked up at the old emperor, and were stunned when their eyes swept over Xiao Yichen who was sitting below.
The old emperor introduced: "Ruge, Gongru, this is Dongqi's genius doctor Bai Mo, I'm sure you all know him."
The corner of Yuchi Gongru's mouth twitched. How come he didn't know when Prince Chen changed his career to become a miracle doctor
Three black lines slid down Ruge's forehead. Was this calling a horse a zebra? He looked up at Bai Mo next to Xiao Yichen. This guy was the real boss.
Bai Mo shook his head. He didn't want anyone to impersonate him and cheat people, but Xiao Yichen's status was too high, so he had to endure it.
The old emperor smiled as he looked at Xiao Yichen and said, "Divine Doctor, you have really seen both princes, right? Then I won't introduce them. Come on, everyone, sit down and serve the food!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the palace maids brought exquisite trays with various delicious dishes to the tables. The old emperor raised the wine glass in his hand to toast Xiao Yichen, "This glass of wine is for the miracle doctor. If it weren't for the miracle doctor's miraculous healing, I would have died in my sleep on the dragon bed."
It was because the old emperor was in a coma when Bai Mo was treating him, and when he woke up occasionally, Bai Mo would go to prepare and decoct medicine, so Xiao Yichen had the opportunity to impersonate him.
Xiao Yichen shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is blessed with great fortune, how can you say such discouraging words? Come, come, have a drink." After saying that, he drank the first glass as a sign of respect.
Ji Lingxue stood behind Ruge with a pout.
After three rounds of drinking, Yuchi Gongru stood up and said to Xiao Yichen: "This prince would like to offer a toast to the miracle doctor. It is a blessing for Dayan that the miracle doctor has come all the way to Dayan."
His words were ambiguous. He was extremely hateful about Xiao Yichen's coming. If Xiao Yichen had not come to cause trouble, he would have become the new emperor of Dayan by now.
Xiao Yichen smiled and said, "I don't deserve such praise from the emperor. Saving lives is a doctor's duty." He raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.
Bai Mo rolled his eyes at the sky. All his credit was taken away by Xiao Yichen. He felt so miserable.
