The Second Life of Hu Liena
29. Physician prophecy.

Hu Boqin was very surprised to hear the story from Changing, about his daughter's resistance to the poison masters sent by the Yue Family.

"How can my daughter do all that?" Said Hu Boqin while kneading his temple.

He felt confused and happy after knowing that his daughter could do such an amazing thing.

"Hamba was also initially in disbelief, sir. But after seeing the seriousness of the Wang brothers when telling it, then the servant believed it"

Changing spoke as he clenched his hand, it was seen there that he was also satisfied with Hu Liena's change.

"Does anyone know about this other than the three of you?" Hu Boqin asked her bodyguards.

"Nothing, Sir." Reply Changing.

"Good! Don't tell me about this anymore, it'll be very dangerous for my daughter in the future."

"Good, Master!" Reply to Changing quickly.

Changing promised himself not to divulge the matter to anyone, even if he had to exchange the promise for his own life, he would never open his mouth.

Without them knowing, the problem has been known by two people who are now facing each other.

"Are you sure he did it?" Li Junjie asked Guotin who was kneeling before him.

"Hamba sure, Your Majesty!" Answer Guotin.

"Hem ...," Li Junjie nodded in satisfaction. "It seems, this girl has changed a lot."

"Hamba also thinks like that, Your Majesty. Miss Hu Liena whom I knew a long time ago, was a foolish and careless girl." Guotin stopped his words because he found Li Junjie glancing at him with a difficult look.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty!" He said while bowing his head.

Li Junjie only snorted and did not respond to the remarks from him.

After a while passed, Li Junjie returned to talking but on a different topic.

"What about Physician Hong's business?

"He's ready to meet you, at the lake near the city park tomorrow." Answer Changing again.

"Lake in the city park?" Li Junjie furrowed his brows.

"Yes, Your Majesty! Physician Hong is only willing to meet you there." Said Changing explaining Physician Hong's request.

Li Junjie took a breath, finally Physician Hong was willing to meet with him.

"You arrange my meeting, with him." Li Junjie's orders greeted Guotin with a nod of his head.

Guotin immediately went to do his duty to arrange a meeting with Physician Hong and arrange a guard around the lake.

Meanwhile, Li Junjie who was still sitting there grinned as he remembered Hu Liena.

"That little thing has turned into a giant stork." Li Junjie murmured while smiling at his thin lips.

The next day...

Li Junjie waited for the arrival of Physician Hong at the pre-determined place.

Li Junjie did not reject Physician Hong's request at all, as he knew the middle-aged man was hard to persuade and extremely stubborn.

He was also unwilling to use his authority as a Prince, just to scare someone.

"Sincerely servant, Prince." There was the sound of Physician Hong giving a salute behind him.

"No need to hesitate, Physician" Li Junjie replied without turning his head.

"What do you want to talk to this old servant, Prince." Physician Hong asked flatly, he is indeed famous for his straightforward nature.

"Without me telling you, you'd have known." Said Li Junjie again, still looking towards the lake.

"The servant is truly foolish, to know the thoughts of a great man like you." Physician Hong said in a humble manner, his attitude was already not what it used to be when he was at Hu Liena's residence.

Li Junjie turned his head towards Physician Hong and looked at him very sharply.

Physician Hong did not budge, he remained standing in his place fearlessly with Li Junjie's gaze directed at him.

"I've been wanting to see you for a long time, Doctor." Said Li Junjie coldly.

Physician Hong understood Li Junjie's intentions, one of the reasons being that he had always refused to meet her. And right now, the Grand Prince was insinuating himself.

"Hamba knows, Prince. And for that, I stand here now." Reply Physician Hong politely.

Li Junjie stopped his steps right in front of Physician Hong at this moment, and their distance was only a few steps apart.

Others may be afraid to go head-to-head with a Prince who is most feared in his country.

In contrast to Physician Hong, who was now even looking back at Li Junjie's eyes very calmly.

"I want you to tell me information, about the Physician in the prophecy." Li Junjie said calmly.

While Physician Hong, just fell silent in his place. He could have guessed, if Prince Jun would have asked him that.

With a heavy heart, Physician Hong finally opened his voice. "I know it, but to protect his safety, I can't tell you or anyone. Forgive me, Prince."

"I know I'm gonna get answers like this from you, but don't you realize, I've been struggling just to be able to ask you this." Said Li Junjie while taking a heavy breath.

Physician Hong shook his head, he knew how far Li Junjie had gone to meet him. But he also could not do anything, Hu Liena's safety depended on him.

If he opened his mouth this time, it was unknown who would hunt down Hu Liena. Because the Physician in divination is valuable, and will attract the attention of the bad guys who will utilize his skills.

"Hamba's really sorry, Prince." Physician Hong said with great emphasis.

Li Junjie looked at the old face of Physician Hong who was beginning to fill with wrinkles. Nor can he force it, for it is beyond his power.

All he wanted was information and not coercion, although in fact, he could do that if needed.

"I appreciate your decision, Doctor." Said Li Junjie with a heavy tone, although he was reluctant but he could do nothing.

Li Junjie had already made his decision, he would search for the information himself. If he's lucky, he'll be saved. And if he fails, he will accept defeat.

"Thank you, Prince." Sahut Tabib Hong while cupping his hands in front of his chest.

"Well, you can go now." Li Junjie said as he flicked his sleeves and turned back towards the lake.

Implied sadness on Li Junjie's face at this moment. In fact, it was just one step away that he almost reached his goal. But all failed miserably, leaving only a disappointment.

...----------------...

In the distance, Hu Liena looked at the two people with her chest crossed.

"What is the old physician and the arrogant Prince doing there?" Said Hu Liena as she raised her eyebrows.

He had been waiting for Physician Hong in the city park for a long time, but the person he was waiting for did not come either.

Apparently, after he went around for a while. Physician Hong was busy talking to the person he had always been avoiding, Prince Jun.

"Maybe there's something important they're talking about, miss." Reply Luqiu from the side of Hu Liena.

"I know that ...," Hu Liena said lazily.

"My question is, what important thing did the Old Physician talk to him about. To the extent that, he forgot his promise to me to meet in this place." Further Hu Liena who was upset by the behavior of Physician Hong.

"Hahhh .. I have an idea, Miss." Said Luqiu with sparkling eyes.

Hu Liena raised her eyebrows before speaking. "What idea?"

"We'll go there and ask them directly about what they're talking about." Luqiu said as she pointed towards the lake where Physician Hong and Li Junjie were.

Tock....

Ouch...

"Sick Miss!" Shouted Luqiu as she held onto her forehead that had just been clenched by Hu Liena.

"Your fool is dead again, I'm doing it for therapy." Hu Liena said as she rolled her eyes.

"But Miss ... if the therapy is like that, won't it get worse?" Said Luqiu still stroking her forehead which was still feeling pain.

"Who said that? tell me! Let me hit him in the head." Hu Liena said so upset that Luqiu continued to speak.
