Against The Gods
Chapter 158 – Medical Saints

The morning of the second day, Yun Che followed Lan Xueruo to the Blue Wind Imperial Palace.

This was the first time he had entered the imperial palace in this life. Yun Che, more or less, had a feeling of being overwhelmed by the luxurious surroundings. The architecture of the imperial palace was naturally luxurious; golden-colored tiles glittered in the sunlight in all directions and instantly dazzled Yun Che's eyes.

Lan Xueruo was still modestly dressed. She would not be recognized by others outside, but inside the imperial palace, who would not be familiar with the only princess of the imperial family. Wherever they went, every bodyguard and palace maid would all immediately bow as soon as they saw Lan Xueruo, respectfully calling her "Princess Cang Yue". While following along with Lan Xueruo, Yun Che did not have to disguise himself or dress at all. The crown prince and the third prince had many eyes within the imperial palace; the incident he had followed Lan Xueruo to enter the imperial palace would definitely be known to the crown prince and the third prince shortly, after all, but Yun Che did not care about this matter. On the contrary, if he were to disguise himself, and the news that Princess Cang Yue was bringing an unknown person to the imperial palace to see the emperor, and the crown prince and the third prince were unable to investigate this person, he said, potentially potentially troublesome Lan Xueruo.

The imperial palace is huge. As Lan Xueruo walked over, she also introduced the important structure of the imperial palace to Yun Che. Unintentionally, they had already arrived in front of a majestic and majestic palace.

“This is my father's room. '' Lan Xueruo said with a slightly nervous expression. It was as if she was a normal girl who brought her lover to her parents, and was restless that she might not get her parents' approval.

The road to the palace had a large pond on both sides; the lotus flowers in the pond happened to bloom as the clear water surged in waves. Green willow trees swept beside the water and the lotus leaves drooped slightly as their flowers faced the wind, piercing through the air with a hint of sweetness.

"Mn, come on in. "Compared to Lan Xueruo, Yun Che was suddenly very calm.

With Lan Xueruo at the front, he led Yun Che towards the emperor's room. As soon as they stepped through the door, they saw a gray-robed old man, who had a beard hanging on his chest, walking towards them. Although this old man was obviously very old, his hair and beard were pitch-black; it was evident he was an expert in maintaining health. Despite being far away from him, Yun Che could faintly smell the scent of medicine.

Behind the old man followed two servants; although they were only servants, in the deepest part of their eyes, their arrogance was clearly visible —— even though they were in the imperial palace.

Seeing this old man, Lan Xueruo's footsteps stopped, hurriedly moved forward to meet them, and humbly greeted respectfully, “Master Gu, you came. How is my father's condition? "

Lan Xueruo's actions caused Yun Che to be stunned. From the way this old man dressed, he was definitely not a person from the imperial family, but with his grand identity as a princess, he suddenly took the initiative to greet her, and even made a simple greeting … As soon as Lan Xueruo said the two words "Master Gu", Yun Che's brows moved slightly; he immediately remembered someone.

"So, Your Majesty, the princess. "The old man muttered with a laughing face and was very friendly," This morning, I received the emperor's call so I came to take a look. Last night, the night air was cold and caused the emperor to suffer a slight cold wind; it was already no problem. As for the matter of the life vein of the emperor .. Huh, please forgive this old one for his incompetence, I still have not found a way to deal with it.

"Master Gu, please don't talk like that, my father's veins are already broken beyond repair, and there is no cure in this world. If my father is not under Mr. Gu's tutelage this year, I am worried .. In short, Mr. Gu must not blame himself. Cang Yue once again thanked Master Gu for this kindness. '' Lan Xueruo said with gratitude.

“When Princess Cang Yue said it like that, it really overestimated this old one. Your Majesty, please calm down, this old one will definitely do his best to ensure the health of the emperor ... The emperor will be sleeping soon, so if His Majesty wants to see the emperor, then quickly enter, please, this old one has to go. ”

"Be careful, Mr. Gu. ”

The old man carried a medicine chest and walked away with his aides. Lan Xueruo followed him with her eyes until he left; one could see his respect for this old man. Only when the old man was so far away did he turn his gaze back to Yun Che. He explains. "He was the Gu Master I mentioned earlier; in these few years, my father's illness was being treated by him. Only because of Master Gu then can my father struggle with death until now. ”

"Is his medical expertise that strong?" Holding his chin, Yun Che asked casually.

"Master Gu Qiuhong is already a hundred and sixty years old this year. Possessing the title of 'Medical Saint', his medical expertise was the best in the Blue Wind Empire. He is known publicly as the number one genius doctor. Moreover, not only was Master Gu's medical expertise extremely high, he also knew the art of opening a deep entrance; it can help profound practitioners in the posterior opening three deep entrances of the Sunflower Dew, Empty Seed and Heart Gate. , Having Master Gu open the deep entrance was practically every profound practitioner's dream in the Blue Wind Empire. Even the four major sects had always treated Master Gu as a prestigious guest because of that. Every year, they would respectfully ask Master Gu to open a deep entrance for the core disciples of their sect. Because of that, Master Gu was extremely famous in the Blue Wind Imperial City. The number of people who asked for it, owed him their lives, and owed him a favor, was incalculable. Thus, there had never been anyone who dared to offend Master Gu. Otherwise, there would be many people who would take the initiative to defend Master Gu .. Including the four major sects: Heavenly Sword Villa, Frozen Cloud Asgard, Xiao Sect, and the Burning Sky Clan.

While saying this, Lan Xueruo had a face full of respect; she clearly had admiration in the matter that she had towards this Master Gu.

"Medical Saints?" The corners of Yun Che's mouth retreated, revealing a somewhat disdainful frown. And in his heart, since his master was a medical saint, there was no one else in this world who was a match for the title of Medical Saint!

"How is this Master Gu?" Yun Che asked intentionally.

Lan Xueruo said, “Not only is Master Gu's healing art high, he also has good compassionate properties. He never used his status as the number one genius doctor to be arrogant, never treated anyone based on their status, and provided medical care to poor families without receiving payment most of the time. So the general opinion about Master Gu in the Blue Wind Imperial Family was excellent; everyone praised and admired him. However, it was once said that he sometimes had a bad temper; anyone who offended him, or any patient he disliked for any other reason, even if one were to give ten thousand pieces of gold, he would definitely not treat him. ”

"Oh, that's how it is .." Yun Che nodded, "Let's go, let's go in and see your father. ”

When comparing the ability to observe people, ten Lan Xueruos still could not compare to Yun Che. The first second Yun Che saw Gu Qiuhong, he was able to instantly deduce that .. This old geezer, was definitely not a good person!

Upon entering the room, the emperor's middle-aged eunuch immediately went to report.

“Since three years ago when Dad suddenly fell ill, he started spending most of his time inside his room and rarely came out. Because Dad's health was too bad, he couldn't bear the slightest cold wind. Even if he was exposed to some mild illness, it was still possible for it to be a danger to his life. ”Lan Xueruo said dejectedly,“ With the condition in which Father is, he is no longer able to manage the affairs of the nation, he is no longer able to manage the affairs of the nation, but my oldest imperial brother and third imperial brother started acting unwisely and had to bring the wolves into the household. After that, not only did they disrespect Father, they also sometimes tried to coerce Father, which made it impossible for Father to bequeath the throne to any of them; he had no other choice but to use his life to delay day after day … "

"Don't worry. "Yun Che lightly grasped Lan Xueruo's hand and comforted her," I've said this before, no matter what illness, as long as it's a disease, I will definitely have a way to cure it. ”

These words were not Yun Che's crazy talk. He was the successor of the medical saint; he would definitely not allow himself to tarnish his master's name!

"I believe you . '' Lan Xueruo replied softly.

"Your Majesty, as well as this young man, the emperor is waiting for you inside. Please sign. "The middle-aged eunuch stood at the door bowing at the waist and saluted respectfully.

After entering the emperor's room, Yun Che saw the old man leaning on the imperial bed at first glance. Lan Xueruo was nineteen years old, the crown prince would be thirty-three in eight days. Logically, the emperor should be around fifty or sixty years old. After living in the lap of luxury with countless herbs and legendary fruits, the emperor should not look old at that age, but the person on the bed looked withered with a waxy yellowish skin, gray white hair, and lifeless expression. He looked like an eighty-year-old elder past his prime.

Yun Che's brows suddenly lifted. This is…

"Dad!" Seeing how bad Cang Wanhe looked, Lan Xueruo's heart ached. He hurriedly rushed to the bed and asked anxiously, “A moment ago, in front of the bedroom door, we bumped into Master Gu. She said you had the flu again last night .. How do you feel now? Is this a little better? "

"Heh heh," Cang Wanhe looked towards Lan Xueruo affectionately. Right now, he could only feel the warmth of being the parent of this girl, “That's no problem anymore. We're afraid you'll be too worried again, so We're not telling you. Yue'er, the person you brought, shouldn't you introduce her? ”

Yun Che walked forward and cupped his hands: "Blue Wind Profound Palace Inner Palace disciple Yun Che, salute to His Majesty. ”

"Oh? You are Yun Che? "Cang Wanhe showed an astonished expression, and then began to laugh," Although We have been staying in this room for a long time, We are, too, as well, it has been heard that a young boy with surprising talent has emerged from Blue. The Wind Profound Palace. He defeated an Inner Palace disciple seven levels above him at such a young age and also managed to use the Colossal Overlord Sword which no one could use for several hundred years. Quite astonishing. ”

Yun Che slightly smiled and said humbly, “Your Majesty flattered me. This one was just an ordinary disciple from a profound palace who was not worthy of His Majesty's praise. ”

Yun Che's words made Lan Xueruo unable to hold back a laugh: “Pfft. Junior Brother Yun, usually you are arrogant and always have an arrogant attitude wherever you go. Why are you suddenly so polite in front of my father today? ”

When Cang Wanhe heard Yun Che's name before, he only slightly admired him. However, as soon as Lan Xueruo's words left her mouth, the way Cang Wanhe looked at Yun Che immediately changed; she knew her daughter very well, it was the first time she had seen her own daughter teasing a young man naturally.

As the Blue Wind Emperor, his eyes were extremely sharp. When Lan Xueruo spoke, from the way she looked at Yun Che, Cang Wanhe could see that something was not the same …

Cang Wanhe's expression did not waver as he kindly asked, "Yue'er, this 'Junior Brother Yun' is yours, should it be the person you have been looking for for two years?"

Last night, she had fully revealed all her secrets and untied the bonds in her heart. Lan Xueruo was no longer needed to avoid the topic of the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament in front of Yun Che. He calmly nodded and replied, “Ya. With regards to Junior Yun's talent, Father should have heard of it; I believe that after three years, Junior Yun's brother can reach a very high level. He really has the possibility of entering in the top hundred .. But the reason I brought Junior Brother Yun here today, is not just to introduce him to you. In fact, junior brother Yun is not only extremely talented in deep cultivation. He is also experienced in the field of medicine and often even claimed to be a genius doctor. ”

"Oh?" Cang Wanhe's face revealed his growing interest, "You're also an expert in medicine? Could it be that you intend to treat our illness?

"I'll try my best . '' Yun Che answered somewhat conservatively .. From the moment he entered the door, he had observed Cang Wanhe's skin, and gradually started to have a bad premonition.

"Heh heh, great. ”

Even Gu Qiuhong could not do anything, so it was impossible for anyone in the Blue Wind Empire to be able to treat him, let alone a seventeen-year-old child. But Cang Wanhe did not refuse and gently replied, "There is rarely someone who has such compassion, and because you are also the one that Yue'er brought along, she said, we have no reason to refuse. Only, We must tell you first, that according to Master Gu, what We have is not a disease, but rather a permanent damage to the veins of our lives due to the accumulation of labor; therefore, there is no need to force yourself if you do not know what to do. ”
