BXBX NOVEL Chapter 791 - 791: Escaped
Perhaps because she wanted to see Ji Luo, Empress Dowager Zhou refused to lie down even though she was in low spirits. Xuanyuan Qi was helpless and could only help her sit down on a chair.
Seeing that she could not even sit still and was still gritting her teeth, Shen Yijia rolled her eyes.
What was she doing, did she want to intimidate her mother?
Not long after, MO Yuan helped Ji Luo in.
Empress Dowager Zhou’s gaze had not left her since she stepped into the bedroom.
Ji Luo was wearing a veil, so her face could not be seen clearly. However, her eyes still evoked Empress Dowager Zhou’s memories when she first saw her.
She made a scene at the wedding banquet. She was ostentatious, unreasonable, and unreasonable. She did not have the gentleness and virtuousness that a woman should have.
Noticing the scar on the side of her eyebrows that extended from under the veil, Empress Dowager Zhou paused with a complicated expression. Ji Luo pretended not to notice and bowed to Xuanyuan Qi.
“No need to stand on ceremony.”
“I’ll have to trouble you with Ah Ce.” This was the first time Xuanyuan Qi had seen Ji Luo. He didn’t have as many complicated emotions as Empress Dowager Zhou. However, he felt a little guilty when he thought about how he was the culprit behind the separation of her and his second brother, so he subconsciously spoke more politely to her.
Ji Luo nodded indifferently and was helped to the bed by MO Yuan.
She began to check Xuanyuan Ce’s injuries. From the beginning to the end, she did not give Empress Dowager Zhou an extra look.
Song Jingchen and Shen Yijia looked at each other and realized that something was wrong. Ji Luo wasn’t a weak person, let alone needing someone to support her when he walked.
“Mother, are you feeling unwell?” Shen Yijia leaned over and asked worriedly.
“Mother is fine.”
Ji Luo retracted his hand and gestured for MO Yuan to take out the silver needles. He paused and said, “I don’t like outsiders present when I save people.”
It couldn’t be helped.
Eunuch Wu looked at Xuanyuan Qi carefully.
Xuanyuan Qi hesitated for a moment before finally helping Empress Dowager Zhou out of the bedroom.
Song Jingchen and Shen Yijia were Ji Luo’s daughters and son-in-law. They weren’t outsiders, so the two of them stayed with a clear conscience.
“He’s in a bad condition.” Ji Luo didn’t take the silver needles. At first, she thought that Song Jingchen had asked her to save him. After checking Xuanyuan Ce’s injuries, there was nothing she couldn’t understand.
Actually, she had not thought about these things in the past few days.
Shen Yijia got a glass of water and added a drop of spiritual liquid to it before handing it over. “Mother, take this.”
They did not let Xuanyuan Qi and Empress Dowager Zhou wait for long and went out of the sleeping hall.
Empress Dowager Zhou opened her mouth to ask, but she could not bring herself to do so. She could only keep glancing at Xuanyuan Qi. Receiving his mother’s hint, Xuanyuan Qi asked, “How’s Ah Ce?”
“He’s fine,” Ji Luo said directly.
When he heard this, the person who was most shocked was not Xuanyuan Qi, nor was it Empress Dowager Zhou, but the imperial physician.
His eyes widened. “How is this possible?” he thought.
To be able to sit in the position of the head of the imperial hospital, his medical skills were definitely not bad. He did not think that he would misdiagnose.
Based on the results of his examination just now, it was an understatement to say that the chances of waking up were slim.
How long had this person been inside for? How dare she say that he was fine?
However, when he listened to Xuanyuan Qi’s instructions and checked Xuanyuan Ce again, he had no choice but to believe it.
“His Highness will wake up in a few days,” he said with a trembling voice.
The reason why he was trembling was because he was completely excited. He looked at Ji Luo with a burning gaze.
Such ability was simply unparalleled.
If he could learn a thing or two…
Ji Luo seemed to see through his thoughts and handed over a piece of paper that she had prepared in advance.
“This is a set of acupuncture techniques passed down from my ancestors.
Senior, if you’re interested, you can study it.”
The imperial physician was stunned. As doctors, which one of them didn’t hold the prescription tightly in their hands? He had only thought about it just now, but he had never thought of asking for it.
He did not take it and said disapprovingly, “This is such an expensive thing.
You…”
Ji Luo interrupted him. “As a doctor, I’m supposed to save the dying and the injured. My abilities alone are limited. If Senior can use it to greater effect, my ancestors’ efforts over the past few lifetimes will not be in vain.”
Hearing this, the imperial physician could not help but feel deep veneration for Ji Luo. He first glanced at Xuanyuan Qi and saw that he did not object, so he took it with both hands.
“Since Madam handed this to me, I won’t hide it. I’ll definitely teach it to others. ”
Ji Luo did not say anything else. This acupuncture technique was indeed used to treat injuries to the head, but Xuanyuan Ce’s condition was more serious, so it was useless against him.
The reason why she took it out was to gloss over Xuanyuan Ce’s sudden improvement.
Moreover, she did not think that there was anything to hide.
She did not think much of it, but she did not know that the way Empress Dowager Zhou looked at her was even more complicated.
Xuanyuan Ce was already out of danger, so they bade them farewell and left the palace.
Xuanyuan Qi got someone to send them out. Thinking of something, Ji Luo stopped in his tracks and said, “Your Majesty, you’d better pay more attention to the situation of the various medical centers in Phoenix City these few days.”
“Mother? Are you really fine?” In the carriage, Shen Yijia asked Ji Luo, who was leaning against MO Yuan.
Ji Luo shook her head to indicate that she was fine.
Song Jingchen frowned. “Mother, did you go to look for the people from the
Valley of Heavenly Secrets?”
Ji Luo paused and sighed. “They managed to escape.”
In the palace, Xuanyuan Qi sent the empress dowager back to the Longevity
Palace and got someone to move Xuanyuan Ce to the next door of the Yuqian Palace to recuperate. Just as he picked up the memorial, the Demon Guards appeared and said that there were fewer envoys from the Wu Kingdom living in the posthouse.
Thinking of Ji Luo’s reminder before he left, he quickly got someone to surround the posthouse and instructed someone to keep an eye on the situation in the various medical centers..
