Chapter 63: The Banquet (5)
Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
"Jun Qing also came today? Are you feeling better?" The Emperor smiled gently at Jun Qing.
Jun Qing sat weakly on the wheelchair and as he tried to speak, his breathing became chaotic and he started gasping for his breath.
The Emperor's face changed immediately and quickly said: "Quick! Imperial Doctors quickly go have a look!"
Upon the Emperor's order, the two Imperial Doctors on standby quickly rushed over to Jun Qing's side and attended to him.
During the whole process, Jun Qing's face was pale and his breathing was very faint.
Jun Wu Xie sat there quietly sipping her tea looking at the two doctors taking the pulse of her uncle.
This uncle of hers was not bad, he added quite a clever touch. The purpose of the Emperor's invitation to Jun Qing was clear as day. When the Emperor started probing, Jun Qing immediately gave him this opportunity.
Jun Qing's situation was no different from the previous time they had taken his pulse. His pulse was very weak and his breath was faint… his life seemed to be so fragile and could be extinguished any moment.
After both the Imperial Doctors thoroughly checked, they whispered amongst themselves and turned towards the Emperor with a serious tone, said: "Please pardon us, but we are unable to resolve this for his highness. We can only advise his highness to rest as much as he can and do not cause any unnecessary strain on the heart." They were very subtle in their diagnosis.
The two Imperial Doctors were helpless and with their diagnosis, Jun Qing was already deemed dead.
The mood was heavy as all the ministers showed a face of regret and remorse, a total different emotion from what they were feeling inside.
"Go prepare some Ginseng." The Emperor ordered as he gave out a long sigh, giving the impression of a helpless enlightened ruler, he turned to Jun Xian and said: "If there is anything you need, just feel free to speak out. Since today Bai Yun Xian is also present, how about we let her have a look as well?"
Jun Xian got up respectfully: "This humble one is touched and very thankful for Your Majesty's grace!"
The Emperor nodded and Bai Yun Xian who was seated beside Mo Xuan Fei got up from her seat and walked over to take Jun Qing's pulse.
Jun Wu Xie rested her chin on her hand and looked at the approaching Bai Yun Xian, her eyes flashed an icy cold glint.
"Meow."
[This old fool is really disgusting, if he had truly wanted to save your uncle, he should have asked Bai Yun Xian to have a look earlier. What use is there to ask her come now?] The little black cat sneered as it puffed it's chest up unhappily. It naturally sided Jun Wu Xie's family and was lamenting on the unfair treatment they received.
"She's not here to see if she's able to save him but to check whether is he really dying." Jun Wu Xie calmly assessed. The Emperor thought that he was so smart but to her he was hopelessly stupid.
Want to use Bai Yun Xian to check on Jun Qing? He really regarded that woman too highly.
Qing Yun Clan's disciple? So what? In her eyes they were nothing but a joke.
Bai Yun Xian carried an air of aloofness as she covered his wrist with a thin cloth and tapped his wrist gently and took his pulse.
Jun Xian was nervous as he looked at Bai Yun Xian.
She was after all not an ordinary doctor but from the famed Qing Yun Clan. He was not sure of how good her abilities were as he had not witnessed them for himself but he knew they had to take this gamble.
His heart was filled with anxiety but when he looked over at Jun Wu Xie, he was surprised that his own granddaughter was preoccupied with the teacup in her hands and too lazy to even look at Bai Yun Xian.
With Jun Wu Xie's calmness, Jun Xian had a little peace of mind.
Shortly after, Bai Yun Xian straightened herself with a cold and aloof expression: "The Imperial Doctors' diagnosis was not wrong, my Master had tried his best to neutralise his poison but if my Master can't even clear his poison, I'm afraid no one can. It is already a miracle that my Master managed to suppress the poison for so many years." After singing praises of her master, she proudly glanced around the hall.

Even if Qing Yun Clan's Sovereign could not cure, who else is in this world could?
Bai Yun Xian's diagnosis gave the Emperor a huge relief, he felt as though a huge boulder was lifted off his shoulders.
Jun Xian whispered his thanks with a pale face as he silently sank bank into his seat. Those with sharp eyes noted his hands holding onto his wine cup was trembling.
Looks like Jun Qing's condition was really hopeless, look, even Jun Xian's hands were shaking! Indeed his hands were trembling but it never crossed their minds that it was not due to grief but due to him holding back his own laughter.
If it wasn't for the situation at hand, he could not wait to shout out to the whole world and tell them that his son's poison had already been completely cleared by his brilliant granddaughter! Not only that, his son would soon be able to walk again! Qing Yun Clan…was simply.. to simply put it they were simply ****!!!
Just his granddaughter alone could clear the poison that the Qing Yun Clan's Sovereign deemed hopeless, under the guidance of an esteemed master. This Bai Yun Xian actually had the audacity to say that her Master's solution was the best and if he could not cure it, no one else could! Hmph!
Previously he had admired the Qing Yun Clan fervently, however after seeing with his own eyes how his granddaughter easily did what their Sovereign could not accomplish, he had lost all his respect for the clan and scoffed at them instead.
Other than his family's Wu Xie, who else dares to say that they are best in the world?!
Jun Xian looked around at the reaction of the crowd and swore in his heart that after the comeback of his Lin Palace, he would make these guys know where they stand! He couldn't wait to see their expressions after they knew the truth!
For now, he played a distraught man.
Jun Wu Xie simply admired her own grandfather and uncle for their acting skills and gave them full points.
After completing the task, Bai Yun Xian went back to the Second Prince's side. He immediately looked at her gently and said: "Yun Xian, you've worked hard."
Bai Yun Xian smiled sweetly back.
"You really are a romantic at heart dear brother, looks like your feelings run deep." The silent Crown Prince suddenly spoke up, with a pair of sharp eyes staring intently at Mo Xuan Fei.
"Big Brother, you really know how to joke." He did not know why his brother suddenly praised them.
"Well, I don't know if this romantic you is a bit too irresponsible, favouring the new over the old is not the style of our Royal Family. Now here you are acting all lovey dovey with Miss Bai, have you ever thought about the feelings of others?" Mo Qian Yuan sneered.
Mo Xuan Fei's face stiffened.
Even a fool knew what Mo Qing Yuan meant as all eyes subconsciously shifted to Jun Wu Xie who had been neglected the whole night.
The infamous lady in question was surprisingly really quiet tonight, if not for the Crown Prince mentioning her, everyone had almost forgotten about her presence.
Mo Xuan Fei and Jun Wu Xie were betrothed, however after the appearance of Bai Yun Xian, Mo Xuan Fei no longer met up much with Jun Wu Xie and not long ago, the Emperor even broke their engagement.
When their engagement was broken off, the incident sparked a major uproar that spread beyond the State of Qi. Everyone had been anticipating the trouble she would bring with her, however she had instead remained low-key and disappeared for such a long time. In fact, this was the first time people had seen her after that incident.
Although she was more beautiful now, somehow they felt that there was something different about her from the past.
In the whole country, it could be said that she was one of the finest beauties. However with her brash,fiery,rude and arrogant personality it conflicted with her outward appearance. Today she was sitting quietly in the corner made her seem like totally different person!
CREATORS' THOUGHTS

Misty Cloud Translations: In the beginning it was emphasized that she was not a beauty however it changed after awhile. My guess is that… after she went through the whole lotus seed conditioning, her complexion had improved and she looked fresher too. In many other novels usually such changes will let them have virtually poreless skin almost akin to a baby’s skin. So think models without the photoshop and without makeup.
Also her demeanor is now different so the charisma she exudes now makes her more poise. And also she’s still growing, there’s this chinese saying “女人十八变” which if you do a search these are the literal :a girl changes eighteen times between childhood and womanhood (idiom) and not so literal: girl changes fast in physical appearance from childhood to adulthood.
Also, it had been emphasized over and over again how horrid the previous Wu Xie’s character was so perhaps her personality really was so bad that her beauty did not matter. No one wanted to have anything to do with her…
