CEO Comes from Ancient Times - C204
Not long after Xi Sanmo left, Imperial Physician Ma, dressed in a light green robe, came in carrying a rosewood tray. When Huo Li saw that it was him, he felt relieved and disappointed at the same time.
Relaxing, Imperial Physician Ma was Huo Dashan’s imperial physician, as well as his master. His [Golden Needle Technique] was similar to that of Imperial Physician Ma’s. Their ages differed greatly, but their relationship was close.
What made them disappointed was that Imperial Physician Ma was the only one who came in, and Xi Sanmo had no idea where he had gone to.
“Is the prince looking for Miss Xi?” Imperial Physician Ma was over a hundred years old and had experienced countless things in the world. Huo Li’s stealthy gaze never left the door, and with a single glance, he saw through the truth.
Huo Li hurriedly withdrew his gaze and braced himself to renege on his debt. “Why is Ben Wang looking for her? Ben Wang hates him. I wish that she would just scram to the ends of the earth and never come back. Never appear before my eyes again.”
Imperial Physician Ma chuckled and placed the tray on a stool in front of the bed. “If this humble subject doesn’t remember wrongly, Prince and Young Miss Xi haven’t met before. This should be the first time you meet at court that day.” Even if you don’t like it when you meet her for the first time, you shouldn’t hate her so much.
Huo Li’s body was in great pain. He wanted to gather his internal force to repair the system, but his dantian was empty. He didn’t understand, so he turned to Imperial Physician Ma with a puzzled expression.
“Is Your Highness intentionally evading this humble subject’s topic?” Imperial Physician Ma didn’t give him any medicine. Instead, he stretched out his slender fingers and placed them accurately on the pulse on his left arm.
Huo Li was annoyed and closed his eyes angrily. He lay there motionless and his weak voice came out at the same time, “This king doesn’t like women, much less the woman that the empress forced into the world. There is no fate between the two of us. Since there’s no such thing as fate, why can’t I hate her? ”
Imperial Physician Ma laughed. “Since when has Your Highness learned to find excuses? In fact, this subject has already asked His Highness the crown prince and His Highness has discussed this matter with him.” Even if the prince didn’t like her being his wife, this subject still dared to ask, “If she asks the emperor to cancel the engagement and not be your concubine, will the prince still hate her?”
Hate? If she didn’t become his wangfei and his woman, would he still hate her?
Huo Li’s expression froze and his eyes stared blankly when he was questioned.
Imperial Physician Ma’s sharp eyes read the answer on his face. He withdrew his hand with a smile and said, “Since Your Highness doesn’t know why he hates her, why should you hate her?” Miss Xi is not as beautiful as Qingcheng, but she’s definitely a woman that can accompany the prince in his life. She can definitely stand by his side and silently shelter him from the wind and rain. ”
Hearing these words, Huo Li couldn’t describe the feeling in his heart. It was a little joyful, a little painful, and even a little resentful. “The imperial physician loves her so much. How about this prince make a convenient favor for her and give her a concubine?”
Imperial Physician Ma gave a hearty laugh that made his eyes bulge out, making him look extremely comfortable. “Your highness has always been tactful with his words. This humble subject remembers them in his heart. Your highness, when I ask you for a favor one day, don’t say you won’t give it to me!”
He was obviously the one who wanted to give it away, but hearing Imperial Physician Ma’s unrestrained reply, his temper flared up again. His chest rose and fell violently as he snorted coldly and turned his head to face the wall, no longer looking at the small side of Imperial Physician Ma’s mouth.
How could Imperial Physician Ma not understand his thoughts? He coughed twice, cleared his throat, and deliberately smiled as he spoke: “The prince is really generous, giving such a good woman to this old man, this old man will thank you first. But the prince knows, on the cliff, Miss Xi risked her life in order to save the prince’s life from the emperor.”
“What do you mean?” Huo Li was surprised. He turned his head but didn’t expect to move so fast. He felt dizzy and nauseous.
Imperial Physician Ma didn’t pay much attention to his pale face, nor did he care about his weak body. He stood up and strolled leisurely around the bedside, neither hurrying to tell her everything that had happened that day on the cliff face.
“That day in the palace, Prince had publicly insulted Miss Xi with his venomous tongue. Miss Xi did not hold a grudge. The Prince went missing, and the Crown Prince and General Xiao searched everywhere. Miss Xi was worried that the Prince would be safe, so she personally left the palace to ask the Crown Prince about the situation, and even accurately speculated the location of the Prince. ”
“On the cliff, the prince injured the crown prince. The crown prince vomited blood as he made his way back to the capital. He injured General Xiao and knocked him unconscious for two days. The Emperor was furious and left the palace. Even though Miss Xi knew there was a tiger in the mountains, she still risked her life to move forward. ”
“May I ask Your Highness, at that moment, what was Miss Xi’s goal? To become your wangfei? If she was beaten to death by you, would she still be an imperial concubine? This humble subject feels that she is looking for the prince’s people, to see if the prince can return safely. ”
“The King does not recognize any of his kin, and does not differentiate good from evil. If it were not for the timely intervention of the Emperor, Miss Xi would have been a dead woman by now. But even so, when the Emperor wanted to abandon the Prince at the peak of the mountain and leave the Prince to fend for himself, Miss Xi had still to kneel down and plead for the Prince’s life. ”
“The reason why His Highness is here is because the Emperor does not wish to see His Highness. The Emperor has sealed the internal energy of the Prince and has sent this humble subject here. This humble subject is not allowed to use the [Golden Needle Technique] to treat the Prince.
“The inferior and conservative method of treatment has caused the prince to have a high fever for four days. However, during these four days, Miss Xi was still sitting by the prince’s side, taking spoonful after spoonful of soup and serving him with a handkerchief, staying up all night and day.”
“If a prince can’t get the appreciation of the emperor, then he’s at most a leisurely prince. What right does the Prince of Leisure have? What was going on? “Prince, why would Miss Xi be greedy for your value? This humble subject still believes that Miss Xi only wants the prince’s men, it has nothing to do with power or status.”
“However, your highness did all sorts of wrong. Today, you did the right thing. That is, you wisely bestowed Miss Xi to this humble servant. This humble subject is unable to repay you in any way. I can only treat Miss Xi with kindness in order to repay your grace. ”
Huo Li’s heart softened and the hatred in his heart lessened, but Imperial Physician Ma’s last sentence had deeply agitated him. His hatred soared, and with some unknown strength, he reached out and swept the medicine bowl off the bedside tray, smashing it into pieces. Brown soup splattered onto Imperial Physician Ma’s foot, and even onto the hem of his shirt.
“Scram, scram! This King doesn’t want to see anyone, and I don’t want anyone to talk about Xi Sanmo. Scram, scram, all of you scram for this king …” Huo Li’s breathing was heavy and his voice was hoarse. Just thinking about how he was about to send Xi Sanmo away like this made his heart ache like it was being torn apart.
He didn’t get angry, but only shook off his clothes. He looked at Huo Li and said in an intentionally frightened voice, “If Your Highness doesn’t want to part with Miss Xi, then this humble subject will just do it. Why is Your Highness so angry? In fact, no matter how good Miss Xi was, she was still a woman. Although this humble subject was not talented and the mansion was empty, there was still no lack of women. Prince must not be angry, Miss Xi, I do not want it, I do not want it. ”
“Scram …”
“Alright, alright, this humble subject will take his leave now. This humble subject will make more medicine and have Miss Xi personally deliver it. Please calm down Your Highness, calm down.” Imperial Physician Ma was crafty and messed up Huo Li’s pool of clear water. Then he cleaned up the place and ran off, his feet slick with oil.
As soon as he ran out, he called over two eunuchs. One of them was assigned to take care of Huo Li, while the other was assigned to report to the emperor.
The two eunuchs took their positions. Huo Dashan was grinning from ear to ear when he received the news, but when Huo Li saw the eunuch enter, he angrily turned his head to the side and closed his eyes to sleep.
However, he couldn’t fall asleep no matter how hard he tried. He only saw Xi Sanmo’s face swaying in front of his eyes as he smiled.
He looked like someone who deserved a beating, like a smug little villain. Just like Imperial Physician Ma, the two of them being together was a perfect match!
What perfect match!
Scram!
Huo Li couldn’t bear to think about it. When he thought about the scene of Xi Sumo leaving with Imperial Physician Ma, he felt even more frustrated and frustrated. His hatred grew deeper, more inexplicable, and even more inexplicable.
He couldn’t sleep, so he waited. It was only then that he realized how long he had been brewing the medicine. The sun was already high in the sky and the bowl of medicine had yet to come out.
Huo Li’s patience had reached its peak as his hoarse voice boomed towards the eunuch, “How long will Imperial Physician Ma’s medicine last? This prince is about to die from pain. Only then will he be willing to see this prince die from pain on the bed!”
The young eunuch didn’t have Imperial Physician Ma’s worth. He trembled in fear, kneeling and kowtowing before stumbling out of the room to inquire about the situation.
But not long after he left, Imperial Physician Ma, who had changed into a white robe, came back with a tray. It was as if time had gone back to normal. What happened just now was simply an illusion.
Huo Li looked behind Imperial Physician Ma and saw that there was still no trace of Xi Sanmo. He bit his lip and said hatefully, “Didn’t this duke tell you to scram? Why did you scram back?”
How could Imperial Physician Ma not understand Huo Li’s words? He chuckled and placed the medicine on a stool by the bed. “The Emperor’s task is to make a routine diagnosis for the prince every day, make soup for him, and then help him catch his breath. “Actually, this humble subject should not be the one who delivers the soup. Besides, this humble subject has also said that he would ask Miss Xi to send the medicine, but this humble subject did not expect that Miss Xi would enter the palace so early in the morning and have not come back yet.”
“Enter the palace? What’s she doing in the palace? ” Huo Li was confused. His heart was empty. There was no end to it.
Imperial Physician Ma deliberately tortured Huo Li, then scooped up a spoonful of medicine and blew on it, “This humble official doesn’t know. Perhaps the prince hurt her in the morning, so she went to the palace and requested for the emperor to end the engagement.” Or perhaps she has someone else in her heart, just like this humble subject. She entered the palace to beg for the emperor to bestow her another marriage. Who knows? In any case, this humble subject does not know. ”
Huo Li gnashed his teeth in hatred. Only now did he realize that Imperial Physician Ma was such a detestable person. His eyes widened as he glared fiercely at him until his eyeballs were about to fall out.
Imperial Physician Ma acted like he didn’t see anything as he placed the medicine on Huo Li’s lips. With a smile that didn’t reach his eyes, he coaxed, “Come on, your highness. Drink the medicine and your body won’t hurt anymore.”
Drinking P!
If you don’t, This King will die from the pain!
Huo Li felt like the whole world was going against him. He snorted heavily and turned his head to the wall, closing his eyes to sleep.
Imperial Physician Ma was in no hurry. He placed the medicine in the tray and covered it with the lid before smiling indifferently, “Actually, in these four days, no one can feed the prince any medicine. Only Miss Xi can put the medicine in his mouth. Since Your Highness does not wish to drink now, we shall wait for Miss Xi’s return. Hopefully, Miss Xi will be able to return today. ”
“Xi Sanmo, if you dare to not come back, if you dare to find the emperor to break off the engagement, I will definitely kill your entire family.” Huo Li’s heart ached from anger as he clenched his fists tightly.
When Xi Sanmo came back, he would definitely give her a good beating. That evil woman with a loose personality, that evil woman …
