Such a person stood at the top of the power, but also lived in the most crisis-ridden and dangerous environment.
Countless people would rack their brains to pull him down while fearing his power.
They would resort to every conceivable means.
Because that position was just too tempting.
Almost once a moment, there would be assassination attempts, repeated detection of food poisoning, and spies planted by various forces in the mansion as their secret stake-outs.
He lived under the surveillance of others every day, and was always on the verge of death.
People were jealous of him, while gloating.
Fu Yuzheng admired him.
If she were in his position, she thought she wouldn't have survived till now.
After returning to the royal residence, Fu Yuzheng went to the man's study without returning to the compound where she lived.
Standing at the door, she called out to Wei Cheng without pushing the door.
This was his main office, and he forbade anyone from entering it.
She also never dared to barge in on account of her status. She was far from qualified.
The moment, a man echoed, "Miss Fu, what's the matter?"
"The King has been away for several months, has he sent a letter saying when he will return?"
"The King acts freely, and I dare not ask."
Having expected this answer, Fu Yuzheng paused, "It has been spread in the capital that His Highness went to a small wine shop. His Highness has never cared about these people's livelihoods, so there have been many rumors in the court. I hope His Highness can return as soon as possible. The court requires the rule of the Regent."
"I will deliver the message on your behalf. Is there anything else?"
"Thank you for your time."
No more reply came, and Fu Yuzheng turned to leave.
She knew that while she was conversing with the hidden guard, there were countless people staring in the dark.
She had already carried out what should be seen for that person in the palace.
However, Xinghua Village, wine shop?
Did the King go there just really to make his rounds?
She heard that in addition to the emperor, there was a girl who traveled with the young master of the Qian's family with the King.
She was surnamed Liu.
Because of the rumors Feng Qingbai released in the capital, turbulent storms secretly set off anew.
She already vaguely sensed unrest once more.
Xinghua Village, thousands of miles away, was still peaceful.
After the evening meal at night, Liu Yusheng brought Feng Mohan to her own courtyard.
Feng Qingbai and Xue Qinglian also came.
Even the Liu family's elders also came to stay for a while because they were uneasy.
They were afraid of disturbing Liu Yusheng, so they willingly left.
During the meal, Nannan said she wanted to try to treat Mo Feng.
Hearing the word "try", the two elderlies felt their hearts racing a bit.
For the first time, their granddaughter was not sure how to treat a patient.
It meant that she wasn't completely confident.
They didn't know what kind of terrible disease the little boy had that it could make Nannan and even Axiu look grave.
However, they did not stop her.
Saving people was a good deed.
She couldn't just abandon him merely due to uncertainty.
When a doctor treated a patient, which one would dare to claim that he would definitely cure him. The results depended on doing your best and having a clear conscience.
Before leaving, Grandma Liu caressed the boy's head. "Good boy, don't be afraid and trust your Aunt Liu. She will do her best to heal you. I will go and make you some delicious food later. I'll make your favorite cabbage stuffed dumplings, so you can eat them when you are done with your medical treatment."
The hand on top of the boy's head was a little rough, and the calluses between her fingers even tousled his neat hair, but he felt warm.
This kind of warmth differed from what his Uncle gave him, but he liked it all the same, and even… felt regretful to part with it.
Without a trace, Feng Mohan rubbed the old woman's hand with his eyelashes fluttering. "Thank you, Grandma!"
After the two elderlies left, Liu Yusheng took out the watery paste ointment she made at noon in a small black pot.
Xue Qinglian looked at it and staggered.
"Is this the result of your noon refining?"
Was this refined medicine?
This was decocting herbs!
"It's as useful as it can be, regardless of form." Liu Yusheng gave him a face.
This was her level. What else could she do?
And the antidote she was going to use needed exactly this kind of medicinal liquid. A pill would not work instead.
"How do you want to proceed?" Feng Qingbai asked, "Do you need my help?"
"Wait, since you guys let me heal this kid too, then I should also be involved in it. So, whatever ideas you guys have, shouldn't you consult me about it?" Xue Qinglian said.
He must have a clear understanding from the beginning to end. For such an interesting poison, there would be nothing for him if the girl cured it.
He came on this trip and also received so many beatings. Wouldn't that be in vain?
Moreover, he was also curious about the extent of this young girl's medical skills.
Liu Yusheng looked at Xue Qinglian without hiding anything. "I suspect that the poison in Mo Feng's body comes from a Gu worm. If we want to completely detoxify him, we must first deal with that Gu worm. What I am going to do now is to lure that Gu worm out."
"Gu worm?" Xue Qinglian was quite surprised. "Lure it out? Do you mean to use this pot of dark matters?"
After saying that, he once again turned his eyes to the pot of medicine paste.
She used the word lure which meant that this medicine paste was too tempting for Gu worms. Otherwise, it wouldn't easily leave its host body.
In the end, what did this medicine paste contain that made this young girl so confident that she could lure it out?
"Whether it's a success or failure, we'll have to try to know," Liu Yusheng didn't speak more. "I will cut a small incision in Mo Feng's hand and soak his wound in the medicine paste. Afterward, just wait."
"If it comes out, don't kill it. I will keep it for research." Xue Qinglian's eyes faintly glowed.
Liu Yusheng pulled the boy and let him sit down at the table, then she rubbed his hair. "Don't be afraid, it will be fine."
"Aunt Liu, I'm not afraid." The boy stretched out his wrist and pulled up his sleeve. "Cut it!"
Liu Yusheng smiled and used the prepared spirits to disinfect his wrist. She then took out her usual scalpel from her medical kit and slashed lightning fast.
It was clean and neat that the boy didn't even feel the pain. A finger-width wound appeared between his wrists, and then Liu Yushing applied the medicinal paste on her hand.
She moved adeptly, nicking the outer skin of his wrist at the same time and also cutting his tendons shallowly without causing serious injury to the boy.
The Gu worm in his body followed his bloodstream and dwelled in his meridians. She has added a large amount of undiluted spiritual spring water in the boiled medicinal paste. If the smell of the spiritual spring water could entice the Gu worm, then it would burrow out from his meridians.
The waiting afterward was the most torturous. No one in the room spoke for a while, and their eyes were fixated on the medicinal paste.
Only Xue Qinglian, whose eyes were shining brighter and brighter, was staring at the scalpel that was set aside on the table.
He has never seen this kind of scalpel!
From the size and shape alone, he confirmed that it was a tool perfect for medical use. He was also a doctor, but he has never thought of creating such a thing as an aid in the past!
How in the world did this young girl's brain grow? At a young age, she could actually come up with such bizarre things?
