Chapter 75: Chapter 75 The Disciple of Medical Buddha Chapter 75: Chapter 75 The Disciple of Medical Buddha “Ninth Prince, I have offended you.”
He grabbed Dongfang Mosheng’s hand, and Dongfang Mosheng only felt a warm current pulsing through his hand, pushing the black poison out of the wound. In the blink of an eye, the blood from the two bite marks returned to a bright red.
This skill impressed Feng Bailing, who realized in a critical moment, Dugu Wu’s capabilities were more useful than a first aid kit.
Thinking of the first aid kit, Feng Bailing noticed that Dugu Wu was holding it in his arms, her eyes lighting up visibly as she saw a huge amount of Emperor’s aura entering the first aid kit.
“Thank you, Prince Wu.”
Although a life was saved, Dongfang Mosheng’s complexion turned even paler, and Dongfang Li hurriedly helped him up.
“I told you not to come to worship. You encountered a snake and still protected her. She is even more poisonous than vipers. Have you forgotten that she almost killed your grandmother?”
Dongfang Li said indignantly.
“The one who harmed the Empress Dowager was someone else. Nanny Gui by Princess Yong’an’s side was controlled by the Blessing Technique, she switched the Empress Dowager’s medicine, and has already been executed on the spot.”
Dugu Wu mentioned the Blessing Technique, his gaze sweeping across Dongfang Li and Dongfang Mosheng, both of whom were somewhat shocked but showed no anomalies.
“What are you still doing here? Follow me to Ciyuan Palace.”
Dugu Wu spoke tersely, grabbing Feng Bailing’s hand and leaving.
It was only after the two had walked away that Dongfang Li came to his senses.
“Who allowed her to leave the Cold Palace?”
“Brother Seven, don’t you understand? You and I are no match for Prince Wu now.”
The bleeding from the wound on Dongfang Mosheng’s arm had stopped, and he lowered his eyes, his long lashes casting a shadow over the greyness beneath.
“That damned bastard, I’m going to report this to Father Emperor.”
Dongfang Li left with a face full of anger.
The storm came quickly and left just as quickly.
“Lucky you came in time, now the Empress Dowager can be saved.”
Feng Bailing retrieved her first aid kit and hurriedly opened it.
Upon opening, she was both amused and frustrated.
The first aid kit not only had extra potent medicine, but they were also specifically tailored to the Empress Dowager’s height and weight, thoughtfully specifying how much medicine to take three times a day.
First aid kit, could you be any more obsequious!
Feng Bailing chuckled dryly and closed the box.
By the time they returned to Ciyuan Palace, fifteen minutes had passed.
Feng Bailing quickly administered the potent medicine to the Empress Dowager, and Emperor Yongye also arrived.
“For the next three days, both you and Dugu will stay in the palace. If the Empress Dowager improves, I will not hold you accountable. If anything happens to her, I will not spare you.”
Emperor Yongye’s expression remained grim, but he did not pursue Dugu Wu’s unauthorized entry to the Imperial Palace.
Feng Bailing had the same intentions—though the potent medicine works, its effects are strong. With Dugu Wu’s Emperor’s aura for protection, the Empress Dowager would surely recover.
“Princess Shengping, come with me.”
Emperor Yongye commanded Dugu Wu to stay with the Empress Dowager, taking Feng Bailing to a side hall.
“Bring that box of yours for me to inspect.”
Emperor Yongye had already learned from Li Qing about Nanny Gui stealing the box.
Feng Bailing’s heart tightened, knowing Emperor Yongye had grown suspicious.
Although she did her best to conceal her medical skills, the sudden recovery of Dongfang Lianhua and the anti-parasitic medicine for the Empress Dowager had already aroused the suspicious Emperor Yongye’s mistrust.
The first aid kit was delivered before Emperor Yongye.
Li Qing opened it and handed it to Emperor Yongye.
Inside the square box, there was nothing.
“Where did you get those medicines from? Don’t lie to me, these medicines cannot possibly be found in the market.”
Once Emperor Yongye finished speaking, Feng Bailing immediately knelt down.
“Not hiding from the Emperor, actually those medicines were not from a traveling merchant, but were secretly given to me by my master.”
Feng Bailing spoke calmly.
Emperor Yongye has numerous informants, and the excuse of a traveling merchant will be exposed sooner or later.
“Who is your master? Why have you never mentioned her before?”
Emperor Yongye’s gaze was deep, staring at Feng Bailing as if trying to find any trace of lying.
But Feng Bailing was open and honest, looking up at Emperor Yongye.
“My master is the Medical Buddha. Three years ago, I was in the Other Manor…about to give birth. That day, I had a hemorrhage during labor and nearly lost my life. My master, an extraordinary recluse, happened to pass by the manor and saved my life. After saving me, she lived in the manor for a year, taught me some basic medical skills, and left me some medicines. The medicine for Mr. Li’s eye disease was also casually mentioned by her, and I remembered it.”
Feng Bailing spoke methodically, and no flaws could be detected at first listen.
Feng Bailing giving birth before marriage was originally a scandal.
But since the child was Dugu Wu’s, it was a different situation.
“Is there such a person as the Medical Buddha in other countries?”
Emperor Yongye glanced at Li Qing.
“Reporting to the Emperor, the world is vast and wonders abound, perhaps there really is such a person. After all, the Imperial Physicians of the Imperial Hospital are helpless with the Empress Dowager’s illness.”
Li Qing answered softly.
“After she took me as her disciple, she instructed me not to publicize it, to avoid unnecessary trouble.”
Seeing Emperor Yongye’s expression, Feng Bailing knew he was halfway convinced.
She suddenly removed the veil from her face.
Under the lamplight, the woman’s features were exquisitely beautiful, her face smooth as a peeled egg.
Both Emperor Yongye and Li Qing gasped upon seeing this.
They had both seen Feng Bailing’s face before.
Before she was sent to the Other Manor, her face was covered with unsightly blemishes, which led Dongfang Li to strongly desire to call off their engagement.
For this face, even many Imperial Physicians visited the Princess’ Mansion, all to no avail.
Yet the Feng Bailing before them was like a different person, even Emperor Yongye, who had seen countless women, found it striking.
Feng Bailing had inherited Dongfang Lianhua’s fine looks, and with eyes that captivated, her aura had changed drastically from before. Now, she indeed rivaled Nalan Yan’er.
Seventh Brother indeed threw away a pearl and picked up a fish eye.
Emperor Yongye silently sighed in his heart.
“The Medical Buddha’s skills are unparalleled, and my face is the best proof.”
These words completely dispelled Emperor Yongye’s doubts.
“Good child, it’s been hard on you to hide such a big secret. If there really is such a person as the Medical Buddha, having her would be a fortune for Great Chu. If she ever comes to Great Chu, you must introduce her to me.”
For divine doctors, from ancient times to the present, from kings to common folks, everyone tries very hard to win their favors.
Emperor Yongye was no exception.
Who doesn’t fall ill, even emperors fear death.
Knowing that Feng Bailing was the sole disciple of the Medical Buddha, Emperor Yongye looked at her with added warmth.
“Since your master is so powerful, what about Dugu’s leg?”
Emperor Yongye, while helping Feng Bailing up, suddenly remembered something and his face changed.
It’s no wonder Dugu Wu agreed to marry Feng Bailing, could it be he knew she had a Medical Buddha behind her?
