Chapter 206 The Chosen One
Yunyi was taken aback and was about to say something when Xiao Tai'an waved his hand and said, "It's getting late, so I won't keep you for dinner. Go back now."
"You guys..." Yunyi couldn't help but chuckle. "Never mind, I won't ask anymore. I'm leaving." Then she got up and left the courtyard.
But once outside, his brow furrowed. It seemed that the deposed crown prince wasn't going to sit idly by and wait for his fate.
Inside the room, Xiao Taiping couldn't help but chuckle: "Brother, you're just telling her that? Aren't you afraid she might do something out of curiosity?"
“This girl knows what she's doing.” Xiao Tai’an smiled slightly, then paused. “Do you remember what happened on the day the Crown Prince turned one year old?”
“I remember, back then, Master Zhiyan, who had been in seclusion at Huguo Temple, suddenly came out of seclusion and found our Xiao family. He said that the Crown Prince would face a great calamity in the future, which would have a significant impact and would result in bloodshed if he couldn’t overcome it, but a woman of destiny would come to his aid…” Xiao Taiping paused, “Brother, you mean she will be the woman of destiny?”
"Does it need more time to verify?"
"But if she really is the chosen one, then the Crown Princess of the Gu family..."
"Hehe." Xiao Tai'an laughed. "Second brother, does the assistance of a woman destined by heaven necessarily mean marriage? I remember Master Zhiyan once said that the Gu family's daughter is a phoenix destined by heaven."
Xiao Taiping frowned.
"Alright, let's wait and see." Xiao Tai'an had a premonition that the fate of the Great Zhou Dynasty might very well depend on Yun Yi in the future.
Xue's Medical Clinic, backyard.
Two charcoal braziers were burning in the room, making it warm and cozy.
A masked man lay naked on the bed, his body covered with deep and shallow scars, especially his two lower legs, which were clearly twisted in a strange way, obviously not properly reattached after being broken.
At this moment, the man's body was covered with silver needles.
Xue Buwei stood beside the bathtub with a basket in his hand, placing the medicinal herbs from the basket into the tub one by one. The originally clear water quickly turned dark brown, and the aroma of the herbs filled the room with the steam.
Soon, the door was pushed open, and a man walked in carrying a bucket of hot water, which he poured directly into the bathtub.
If Yunyi were here, she would definitely recognize him at a glance; this was Jing Han, whom she had arranged to impersonate Huo Qingyuan.
After Xue Buwei finished putting out the medicinal herbs, he went over and pulled out the silver needles from the man's body: "Put them in the bathtub."
Jing Han picked up the man and put him into the bathtub.
Although the man tried his best to endure it, he still couldn't help but let out a scream.
"Brother." Jing Han hurriedly reached out and grasped the masked man's hand.
"Second Master, you must endure it; the process of removing the poison is very difficult," Xue Buwei sighed.
“It’s alright.” The masked man shook his head slightly. “I can handle it.” His voice was hoarse and broken.
"Seventh Master, I'll have to trouble you to fetch some hot water. If the temperature is too low, the medicine won't be effective enough." Xue Buwei looked at Jing Han.
Jing Han nodded, picked up the wooden bucket, and went out again.
About half an hour later, Xue Buwei finished treating the masked man, watched him fall into a deep sleep, and then left the room.
"Seventh Master, after this, the poison in Second Master's body has been basically cleared, and his life has been saved, but..." Xue Buwei looked at Jing Han, "but the scar on Second Master's face and his leg... I'm not sure if they can be fully healed."
"Old Xue, I know who can cure him." Jing Han, however, was no longer worried as before, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
"Who?"
"It's Yunyi, the girl who gave you the mountain breeze before."
"Her?" Xue Buwei frowned slightly. "She does have medical skills, but..."
"She cured Sanya's legs, and she also cured Ning Wushuang's face in the capital."
Xue Buwei gasped, then smiled: "If it can really be cured, that would be wonderful. God help us."
"I think we still need you to handle this."
“No problem.” Xue Buwei nodded. “I’ll go find her tomorrow.”
Jing Han took a deep breath, his eyes filled with hope.
Yunyi was unaware that she was being targeted again. By the time Ning Xingchen arrived at the village, she was already on her way to Zhao Family Village.
Because Zhao Dazhuang sent a letter through someone, they were willing to move to Xiajiazhuang and work with Yunyi.
However, Zhao Dazhuang didn't want anyone to know they were leaving, so he wondered if Yunyi could drive a carriage over to help them move.
Yunyi happened to be home, so of course it was fine.
She is happy to provide the best possible benefits to anyone who is talented.
Upon seeing Wang Tianshun, Ning Xingchen's previously nonchalant expression immediately turned serious: "You..."
"This humble subject greets Your Highness." Wang Tianshun was about to kneel down to pay his respects.
"No need for formalities." Ning Xingchen quickly reached out to help him up. "That old doctor, let's go inside and talk."
Wang Tianshun hurriedly ushered the person into the house.
"You all stay outside and keep watch," Ning Xingchen instructed his men, then followed Wang Tianshun into the house alone. "Imperial Physician Wang, it's you? Back then..."
“Young Master, I am now Wang Tianshun, the doctor of Xiajia Village.” Wang Tianshun hurriedly interrupted Ning Xingchen.
Ning Xingchen suddenly laughed: "Yes, you are a divine doctor now. My mother sent me to ask for medicine." As he spoke, he placed a box on the table. "This is two thousand taels of silver. I'm asking for a box of medicine."
"It's ready." Wang Tianshun handed over the medicine. "After this box, the princess will be completely cured."
Ning Xingchen gave the medicine to his personal guards and told them to send it back as quickly as possible, but he didn't leave.
“You’re going back to Beijing?” Wang Tianshun frowned.
"I finally got out, how could I go back so soon?" Ning Xingchen shook his head. "Besides, I know Bai An is here. We're good brothers, I have to go see him."
"But……"
"Medical genius, stop with the 'buts'! I am the prince, and you, a mere country doctor, dare to interfere with me?"
"Your Highness, I don't mean to interfere, but Bai An hasn't been doing so well lately."
"Oh?" Ning Xingchen perked up immediately. "What's wrong with it? Tell me quickly, so I can have a laugh too."
Wang Tianshun: ...
He then recounted Bai An's ordeal.
"Who is this person with such ability?" Ning Xingchen's eyes widened immediately upon hearing this. "They actually dealt with that scourge? Can you introduce me to them? I want to become their disciple."
"Hehe." Wang Tianshun chuckled but didn't respond. He really wanted to say that you also know that person, but considering that Yun Yi hadn't spoken, he kept quiet.
"Come on, show me around the village." Ning Xingchen didn't hesitate and pulled Wang Tianshun out of the courtyard. "I think this place is quite well-developed."
