Liuying was anxious to get a better look.
But he could not go any further, so he could only hold back his anxiety and stepped back a little, and like the other eunuchs, bowed and bent to one side.
“How is His Majesty?”
Consort Xiao Xian’s voice came out.
Liu Ying pricked up his ears.
The courtyard was black in front of his eyes, he didn’t even have the strength to get up, so he sprawled on the ground and turned in one direction, kneeling towards Consort Xiao Xian, “In reply to Your Majesty’s words, His Majesty still hasn’t improved.”
Consort Xiao Xianfei’s body shook for a moment.
“Mother Consort!”
The Fourth Prince was quick-eyed to hold her up.
Consort Xiao Xianfei signaled that she was fine and asked in a shaky voice, “Isn’t there any other way?”
The courtier knocked his head on the ground, “I have done my best.”
The courtier was really at his wit’s end, all the needles had been injected and all the medicine had been used, but the emperor was unresponsive, just like a living dead man.
Originally he wanted to suggest that Song Wangyue be allowed into the palace again, but he was also afraid that if Song Wangyue really woke the emperor up, the emperor would keep Song Wangyue in the palace on the grounds that she had touched his dragon body, then he would become a sinner.
Xiao Xianfei closed her eyes, “Put up a notice, search for famous doctors all over the world, anyone who can cure the emperor will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold.”
Liu Ying originally wanted to see Eunuch Huang before leaving, but after hearing the words of the courtier, he lost his mind. Even the eunuchs at the Imperial Hospital were at their wits’ end, so the Emperor must be in a coma. If he saw Eunuch Huang at this time, he would probably silence him.
When the crowd wasn’t looking, Liu Ying slipped out of the Emperor’s bedchamber and quickly left the palace, taking out the clothes he had hidden in a hidden place and putting them on, hurrying home.
Before he reached the entrance of his home, he sensed something strange and hurriedly stopped and stealthily stayed in the shadows, watching the men of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division surround the Liu family.
He didn’t expect that the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses would search his house so quickly. He hadn’t brought any silver with him when he came out, and since the city was under martial law and the gates were closed, he had nowhere to go.
Liu Ying hated him so much that he almost gouged the skin off the wall next to him. He was in this situation because of Song Wan Yue, and he wanted her dead and buried!
……
A team of forbidden guards came out of the palace with a notice, the two stayed in the city, the rest left the city on horseback and headed for the various provinces and counties.
The city was under siege and the streets were empty, so no one saw the notices posted. The two guardsmen rode on their horses and banged gongs while shouting out the contents of the notices.
Naturally, Song Wangyue heard it, and smiled as she went to find Doctor Yao, “Master, your chance to make a fortune has come.”
Doctor Yao was sitting in a rocking chair with his eyes closed, not even moving his eyelids at the words.
“Do you want ten thousand taels of gold?”
Doctor Yao snapped open his eyes.
Song Wangyue moved a small stool and sat beside him, telling him about the notice shouted by the forbidden guards.
Once he heard that he was going into the palace to treat the emperor, Doctor Yao closed his eyes again, afraid that he would see that the emperor was not dead after he entered the palace and feed him another handful of poison.
“I’m not going to hide it from you, but his illness is the result of my drugging.”
Doctor Yao opened his eyes again.
“So the Master had to be asked to come into the palace so that he would wake up when he should.”
Dafu Yao wished she had never taken on this apprentice, knowing full well how much her master hated that dog of an emperor.
Song Wan Yue was so wronged, she hadn’t known that Master had returned when she had administered the medicine, she had wanted to wait until the time was almost right and enter the palace herself disguised as a divine doctor, but who let Master return.
Song Wan Yue pretended not to see his disgusted look and smiled seductively, “Ten thousand taels of gold, if it was converted into silver, it could almost fill a room, Master, are you sure you don’t want it?”
Master Yao wanted to have the backbone to say no, but when he thought of the 10,000 taels of gold, he couldn’t say it, so he gave a cold snort with a pretentious face.
“Moreover, Master, you can also take the opportunity to abuse those eunuch doctors in the palace. Don’t they boast of their superior medical skills? So many of them are inferior to you alone.”
Imagining the appearance of the eunuch doctors bending down and calling him “divine doctor”, Doctor Yao could not pretend any longer, “Alright, I will go to the palace with great difficulty.”
“Master is still good to me.”
Dr Yao waved his hand in disgust, “Go, go, go! Don’t be an eyesore in front of me, just let me know when you need to go into the palace.”
Song Wan Yue blinked her eyes, she wanted to tell her master that she had sent someone to fetch Master Yao from Renshantang and that she should be arriving in the capital soon. Since her master disliked her so much, she would not be an eyesore to him.
After finishing his speech, Doctor Yao closed his eyes, not seeing the expression on Song Wangyue’s face as she watched the good show. Brothers have not seen each other for years, and when they see each other they definitely have two lines of tears. Although it was a bit disrespectful, she was trying to really want to see what it was like for her master to cry.
In the meantime, Song San and the three of them took Master Yao to the city gate.
The city gates were tightly closed and no one was allowed to enter or leave at will without any business.
Seeing Song San’s men riding up to the palace gates, the soldiers guarding the city barked from the walls, “Who is it?”
On his way here, he had come across smallpox patients being transported out of the city, and Song San knew that there might be an outbreak of smallpox in the city.
Song Wangyue’s reputation was now very loud, even more so than that of the Minister of the Six Ministries, and when they heard that they were there on Song Wangyue’s orders to invite a doctor, the men guarding the gates came down quickly from the city tower, opened the gates and let them in.
Song San thanked him and rode his horse into the city. The empty streets made him feel even more uneasy, and he kept on beating his horse in a hurry.
Yao was tied behind him, and he had to be tied to the horse to keep him from falling apart.
When he arrived at Song Si’s house, Song San jumped off his horse and carried him inside at a fast pace.
He was almost dragged along and was in agony, “Elder brother Song, you should put me down first.”
Only then did Song San remember that there was someone on his back, so he apologised and untied the rope.
“Eldest young master.”
Song San called out.
Song Si nodded, “This is Master Yao, right?”
Hearing Song San call out for the Eldest Young Master, Master Yao knew Song Si’s identity and was busy standing firm, following suit and calling out, “Sir Song.”
Seeing that he could not even stand still, Song Si said, “Yue’er has already arranged a place for Master Yao to stay in the courtyard over there, I will take you there.”
“Thank you for your trouble.”
Song Si waved his hand and gestured for Song San to assist him to the side where Doctor Yao lived.
……
Song Wan Yue just saw the three people at the door, badly glanced at Dr. Yao, got up to welcome them out, deliberately loud, “Yao boss, hard work.”
Yao?
Doctor Yao opened his eyes, saw the person at the door, and stood up in a tentative manner.
