Long Yue watched his hesitant deanor with a cold smile.
There’s only one person, do you even need to ask? It’s my master, Duanmu Nan!
A doctor from the Imperial Palace claiming his dical skills are inferior to others is taboo; at best, he could lose his job, at worst, his life.
Yet Imperial Doctor Li still said so, which shows he’s truly at a loss?
Laughable!
If soone else said it, she might believe them, but from Imperial Doctor Li, she didn’t believe a word. There’s a conspiracy here!
"Ah, I rember now! Lady Jiao, you have a master, don’t you? His dical skills are unparalleled, even the Emperor praises him. Why not let him take a look?"
"Yes, yes, Yu Pin was previously disrespectful to Lady Jiao, but since you’re magnanimous, don’t hold it against her. Consider it an act of kindness, save her?"
A concubine who had a good relationship with Yu Pin pleaded for her.
"Yue’er..."
Yang Zhuoya glanced at Long Yue, her eyes flickering with so pleading. She too wanted to quickly cure Yu Pin and let the matter pass.
Long Yue looked around, seeing everyone focusing on her, knowing she couldn’t avoid this, she said: "Fine, Ning Xiang, go find my master!"
Ning Xiang was concerned about Long Yue, but Long Yue gave her a look, and she obediently went.
Half an hour later, Duanmu Nan entered the palace again.
Duanmu Nan looked at the majestic and splendid Imperial Palace, his expression darkened slightly; this is a place he should not be, for if he cos, blood will be shed...
But for her, he often broke his own rules.
Duanmu Nan took one last look at the palace walls, sighed softly, and walked with a bitter smile.
"Master!"
Until a clear and pleasant voice reached his ears, Duanmu Nan’s awareness gradually returned. His eyes focused, seeing a lively young woman in front of him.
She was so lively, beautiful, even six months pregnant, her striking charm couldn’t be hidden, her body had grown plump, making her even more captivating.
"Master, I’m sorry."
Long Yue noticed Duanmu Nan’s sowhat dazed expression and felt a little guilty. This was not for her diagnosis but for the Emperor’s woman. What if he’s implicated?
This Imperial Palace is deep, like a prehistoric beast, lying in wait with jaws wide open, ready to swallow you whole and tear you apart!
Long Yue didn’t want to involve her master but thought it was just a diagnosis, no big deal, right?
But for so reason, now seeing her master, she felt uneasy, as if sothing might happen?
"Are you Mr. Duanmu?"
The Crown Princess scrutinized Duanmu Nan, feeling his extraordinary aura, inevitably moved, she gave a slight bow, "Then, without further ado, please proceed, sir."
"Alright!"
Since Yu Pin was a palace concubine, Duanmu Nan couldn’t et her alone, so Long Yue, the Crown Princess, Princess Consort Zhen, and others went in together.
Strangely, Empress Qiao didn’t go in.
After entering, Duanmu Nan first checked Yu Pin’s pulse, then took out the silver needle box and began acupuncture.
"Master, is Yu Pin poisoned?"
Long Yue frowned slightly, curiously asking.
Duanmu Nan: "She is poisoned, but not deeply. Did she eat sothing special before?"
"Only peach gum made with Baihua honey. Ning Xiang, go fetch a bowl!"
"Mr. Duanmu."
Ning Xiang handed him a bowl of peach gum, and Duanmu Nan rely took a sniff, then shook his head: "There’s sothing in here she cannot eat. Consuming it causes rashes all over, and besides, she has been trapped sowhere, agitated, causing her to cough up blood."
"Oh my, Mr. Duanmu truly is amazing. It is indeed so; Yu Pin had been placed under house arrest by the Emperor. Staying in such a confined place for long, she’d surely feel irritable."
A concubine said, cleverly voicing Yu Pin’s dissatisfaction with Qi Yun, and if word reached the Emperor, she would be cold-shouldered.
Tsk tsk, the harem is full of pitfalls!
Duanmu Nan paid no attention to the concubine’s banter and began treating Yu Pin.
He took out a silver needle, roasted it over the fire, then applied it.
It took a full incense stick’s ti.
"Cough... cough..."
Yu Pin, who was in a deep sleep, let out a soft cough, spitting out black blood!
"Alright, I’ve expelled the toxins from her body, just give her dicine later. Farewell!"
The palace made him uneasy, so seeing signs of Yu Pin’s recovery, he intended to leave.
"Oh, wait!" The Crown Princess stepped forward, gracefully bowed to Duanmu Nan, smilingly said, "Thank you, Mr. Duanmu, for your righteous assistance, saving Yu Pin and clearing of suspicion. I am very grateful; should you need anything, do tell the Eastern Palace, and it will be arranged."
"No need, a physician’s heart is benevolent. I only did what was necessary."
Duanmu Nan appeared indifferent, not even bothering to bow to the Crown Princess, and was about to leave.
"Cough... cough... cough... May I ask, did you save ?"
Slowly waking up, Yu Pin caught sight of Duanmu Nan’s departing figure, that pure white, like an Immortal.
She gazed at him, mumbling, "Thank you, sir, for saving my life!"
Duanmu Nan turned, frowned at her: "No thanks!"
Without further acknowledgnt, he walked straight out of the chamber doors.
"Oh..." Yu Pin gazed at Duanmu Nan’s retreating back, softly said, "Lady Jiao, your master is truly remarkable. I thought I was dead for sure, yet here I am."
"dicine can cure no fatal illness!"
Long Yue said lightly.
"Yes, I’m alive, but still must thank Mr. Duanmu."
Long Yue glanced coldly at her. Since the woman was fine, she intended to leave; this palace was truly a place of trouble.
Yet, unforeseen events unfolded!
"Oh!" Yu Pin sighed gently, rubbed her brow, a deanor of sentintality, "Mr. Duanmu’s dical skill is so superb, it must be family-taught...
Lady Jiao, speaking of which, despite sharing the surna Duanmu, the Duanmu Family of Guyang County uses evil techniques to harm others, evildoing, whereas your master practices dicine to save..."
"Stop this nonsense!"
Yu Pin hadn’t finished speaking when an enraged Duanmu Nan, who hadn’t gone far, suddenly turned and rebuked loudly, even Long Yue was startled by Duanmu Nan’s angry deanor.
It was her first ti seeing her master angry, his eyes turned red, his dark eyes flashing with a bloodthirsty gleam!
Long Yue’s heart trembled, a wave of unease instantly swept over her!
Sothing happened, she knew sothing happened.
She had been pondering all along whether the Crown Princess or Queen Qiao might have hard her, but it turned out none of these mattered, the real trouble was her master!
When Yu Pin spoke of "the Duanmu Family using evil techniques to harm", her heart skipped a beat, realizing it was bad news.
Then her master’s reaction...
This is bad!
