low-key is king

Chapter 9 Chief Physician of the Palace
"That night, Liu Qinghan deprived Ling'er of his blood with his own hands. Your elder brother lost his mind, and the prince fainted from anger on the spot. The huge Zhendong Palace has never recovered from it!"

Princess Zhendong's voice was somewhat suppressed, she could be heard on the verge of rage, and finally she said: "These are the reasons for the decline of the Zhendong Palace!"

"I believe that in the past ten years, you have not done anything in vain. Naturally, you also know the importance of the Saintess of Luoyou Mountain. When she speaks, the friends of the palace will be scattered like birds and beasts. Even the Xuanyang royal family of the same origin will start to make trouble soon after that!"

The concubine may have been worried for a long time, but she has already gotten used to it. Seeing her eyes sweeping over Lu Xun, she said softly, "Since you have already left, why are you coming back?"

"Because this is my home, in the palace, there are my father, mother, concubine, and elder brother!"

This time, Lu Xun's expression was straight. Hearing what he said, the princess turned her head, and there were some tears in her eyes, but she didn't want her youngest son to see it.

To be honest, I haven't seen Lu Xun for more than ten years, but seeing this baby son, who was still very immature back then, has grown into a handsome boy, which mother would not be happy?
The resentment in my heart disappeared the moment I saw Lu Xun.

It's just that the current Zhendong Palace is in turmoil, and Lu Xun chooses to return at this time. It seems that he has no cultivation base at all, not even a first-level martial artist, so he might as well be happy outside.

King Zhendong was in a coma and dying, his son Lu Zheng was insane, and now the power of the palace was in the hands of the third wife, mother and son, maybe this Prince Zhendong's mansion was a cave of dragons and tigers.

The concubine's indifference to Lu Xun was not because he hadn't returned home for ten years, but because she didn't want her second son to come back to this muddy water, which might cause fire.

"Mother, don't worry, since I'm back, everything will be mine!"

Lu Xun stepped forward, first lightly patted the back of Wang Hao's hand, and then, under the strange eyes of the latter, walked straight to the side of the bed, and put one hand on the wrist of Zhendong King Lu Mingyang.

"Xun... Xun'er, what are you?"

Seeing the strange light in Wang Hao's eyes, she first asked a question, and then said melancholy: "Mr. Cao of the palace has already seen your father, and also used medicine, but it's a pity... there is no way to recover!"

"Mr. Cao? Cao Song?"

Although he hasn't returned to the palace for ten years, Lu Xun still has some impressions of the chief physician of the palace, but when he thinks of the information he got from Tingxinlou, a gleam of light flashes in his eyes.

"Well, he is a fourth-rank doctor. In Xuanyang, there are not many people who can surpass him in medical skills. Thanks to his perseverance this year, he was able to hang your father's life. Otherwise, you may... ..."

The concubine didn't hear the strange tone of Lu Xun, she said something on her own, but she didn't finish the last sentence, which meant that if Dr. Cao Song hadn't hanged himself, your father might not be able to wait until you came back to see him for the last time.

"Fourth Grade Physician..."

Lu Xun nodded, ignored the princess, but asked in his mind: "Old man, is my father's illness really incurable?"

Lu Xun has no cultivation now, and the servants and cats outside are not Qi refiners. A pure martial artist cannot become a doctor, let alone a doctor with a product. Therefore, he can only turn to a certain mysterious person in his body for help.

"The liver qi is extremely strong, and it is internally induced. It is indeed the failure of the internal organs caused by anger, but it is not a serious disease. How could it be treated like this by a fourth-rank physician?"

Thanks to Lu Xun's mediation, an old guy in his body clearly sensed the current state of Zhendong King Lu Mingyang, but made a voice of doubt.

"The fainting caused by anger is actually just a temporary illness, and as time goes by, no matter how big the anger is in the heart, it will gradually subside. It only needs a few medicines to heal!"

The voice in his body continued to speak, causing Lu Xun's face to gradually show anger, and he seemed to have guessed what was going on.

"You mean to say that my father's illness was not so serious, but... he was cured like this?"

Lu Xun slowly withdrew his fingers. Although he didn't like the existence in his body, he didn't have any doubts about the other party's knowledge and experience.

"Old man, can my father's illness be cured?"

This is what Lu Xun is most concerned about. As for the one who made the secret move, it is probably the fourth-rank doctor Cao Song.

It's just that he has no evidence now, and the concubine mother also trusts "Mr. Cao", so it's not easy for him to directly bring it up.

"A mere fatality, it's a trivial matter!"

It wasn't until the soft voice in his body came out that Lu Xun finally let out a long breath. It seemed that the big stone that was pressing on his heart also fell into place at this moment.

"However, this old man is an illusory remnant soul. You need to do everything yourself, and the first prerequisite is that you must first become a first-level cultivator!"

The voice inside continued to speak, and when Lu Xun's face changed slightly and he was about to ask, he heard again: "I will teach you a method of sealing the acupoint first, which can keep his life safe for seven days, so your time is only Seven days!"

Hearing this, Lu Xun breathed a sigh of relief, then closed his eyes and meditated. After about a few breaths, he put his right hand's middle and middle fingers together, and immediately tapped the King of Zhendong's body a dozen times.

"Xun'er, you... are you a doctor?"

Seeing this, the concubine couldn't help but widen her beautiful eyes. Although Lu Xun's movements seemed a little clumsy at the moment, she actually saw a bit of Mr. Cao's shadow from her precious son.

"call……"

After a while, Lu Xun withdrew his finger, let out a long breath, and then replied: "Not yet, but the life of the father can be saved for seven days, don't worry, mother and concubine, I will definitely find a way to rescue the father!"

The princess was skeptical at first, but she heard from her maid Li Hua that Lu Xun, who has been back for ten days, is not even a first-level martial artist, let alone a monk's doctor.

"what?"

But when the princess turned her eyes to Zhendong King's face, she let out a cry of surprise.

Because the husband, whose face was as pale as ashes before, unexpectedly had two blushes on his cheeks, and looked more energetic than before.

Crunch!

Just when the princess was overjoyed and wanted to say something, the door of the main hall was pushed open, causing Lu Xun's eyes to turn away immediately.

Although the Zhendong Prince's Mansion is not what it used to be, it is the residence of a majestic prince, and someone dared to push the door directly to enter. In just that moment, several figures flashed in Lu Xun's mind.

"Mr. Cao!"

And when Li Hua at the door saluted the visitor respectfully, Lu Xun instantly knew who the visitor was. It was the Chief Physician of Zhendong Palace: Cao Song!

I have to say that Cao Song, a fourth-rank doctor, looks very good. He is wearing a green robe and has three long beards. If someone doesn't know the inside story, he may have a good impression of him at first impression.

The two princesses and servants in the house seemed to have acquiesced in Cao Song's unannounced entry.

Or maybe the current Cao Song is the only practitioner of the four realms in the palace, and also a doctor, so his status is not trivial.

Whether it is the life of Zhendong Wang Lu Yangming, or the madness and hysteria of the outside world, they all need this fourth-rank doctor to treat them.

To put it more bluntly, they can't afford to offend Cao Song now.

"Huh? Second Young Master is here too?"

Cao Song, who entered the hall, was not as arrogant as he had imagined. Instead, he focused his gaze on Lu Xun for the first time, and then glanced at the princess.

After all, Cao Song knew that the second son, Lu Xun, had returned to the palace for ten days, but he couldn't even enter this hall. It was obvious that the princess was still angry with Lu Xun for leaving home for ten years.

As the chief physician of the palace, Cao Song has stayed in Zhendong Palace for more than ten years. Ten years ago, he had seen Lu Xun who looked like a child.

The Chief Physician of the palace had his own plans, and naturally he would not pay attention to a Lu Xun who had no cultivation base at all, so after the words fell, he ignored them and walked straight to the bed.

"Ok?"

Cao Song, who walked to the side of the bed, with the eyes of a fourth-rank doctor, naturally saw a slight difference in Zhendong King's face at first glance, and his own face also became a little gloomy at this moment.

"Who moved the prince?"

For a while, Cao Song didn't suspect that it was Lu Xun's hands and feet, so his gloomy eyes turned directly to the princess, making the dignified princess of Zhendong feel tense.

Perhaps in the heart of Princess Zhao Lijing, Cao Song is the last life-saving straw for King Zhendong. After more than ten years of getting along, she is naturally more willing to believe in the medical skills of the chief physician of the palace.

The moment Cao Song yelled and asked, the princess's heart skipped a beat, and she thought to herself that there was something wrong with Lu Xunhu's messing around just now, right?

"Mr. Cao, what's the matter?"

The princess glanced at Lu Xun secretly, but she didn't expose it immediately. Of course she wanted to protect her son, so she asked directly.

"What's the matter? Wangfei, let me ask you, have you invited an outside doctor to treat the prince? What a fool!"

Under Lu Xun's gloomy gaze, the chief physician of the palace was not polite at all, he seemed to have guessed a possibility, and scolded the princess for a while.

It seems that Cao Song is angry that the princess does not believe him, or maybe he has some other purpose. If the outside doctors see any flaws, then he will not be able to stay in the palace.

"It was me who moved the hand, please speak politely!"

At this time, Lu Xun finally couldn't bear it anymore. Anyway, she was also a dignified princess, or his mother concubine. What kind of onion are you, Cao Song, who dare to scold you like this?
"Oh? The second son is also a doctor? How far is the doctor?"

Hearing this, Cao Song turned his head instantly, with a sneer on his face, and then continued to say without waiting for Lu Xun's answer: "Do you know that because of your nonsense, the prince could have survived for a month, but it's already There are less than seven days left!"
