Chapter 199
Mu Mingtang figured it out. The mantis caught the cicada, the oriole was behind,[1]
and the people behind the scenes wanted to deceive Xie Xuanchen, but Xie Xuanchen overturned the plan and deceived the other party to the death. The only question now is how to deal with the spice. What exactly are those spices? How to use them and what are the effects? If Xie Xuanchen’s disease is really manipulative, doesn’t it mean that this disease can be cured? Mu Mingtang thought deeply.Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen didn’t speak anymore. Both of them were thinking about the spice thing in their hearts, but neither dared to mention it in front of each other and tacitly avoided talking about it.
Mu Mingtang who was in deep thought, suddenly looked at Xie Xuanchen and asked, “Who is the person who made medicine for you?”
She originally thought that the Imperial Physician Bureau was in-charge of Xie Xuanchen’s medication, but later heard from the Imperial Physician Zhang, a foreign traveling doctor had made the prescription.
However, that was already two years ago. When the former emperor, Xie Yi, was alive, he would spend a lot of money to develop an antidote for Xie Xuanchen. Now that Xie Yi has been replaced by Xie Rui, the antidote is no longer mentioned, and even the materials and recipes from that year have been lost unknowingly.
Xie Xuanchen had thought about this for a long time. He sighed slightly, and said, “That’s a wandering doctor, living in no fixed place, and living in the world. My father originally asked the Imperial Medical Bureau to make pharmaceuticals, but the Imperial Medical Bureau was helpless, so he could only seek outsiders. When a traveling doctor who came to the capital learned that the emperor was searching for a doctor to cure me, he went to the palace to study my disease. He immersed himself in research for two or three months and prescribed me medication. The first service was really effective, and the court rewarded him with a lot of money. Then he took things with him and went to travel again. When we found out that there were side effects, we could not find that traveling doctor.”
“Ah?” Mu Mingtang was surprised when she heard that, “You really let him go. He’s gone? Shouldn’t he keep him until he heals you?”
“At that time, the emperor had already changed.”
“It’s okay, it’s only been two years, we’ll send someone to look for him again, and we’ll be able to find the wandering doctor. Didn’t he just see the emperor list come out back then, we’ll post the emperor list again. “
When Mu Mingtang said that, she knew that it was difficult to achieve. If the current emperor is Xie Yi, it is only a matter of one sentence to post the emperor list to find someone, but now the person on the throne is Xie Rui.
Xie Xuanchen sighed inaudibly: “It’s not about finding people. What I’m afraid of is that he’s already dead.” Mu Mingtang heard a sigh in his heart.
After getting a massage from Xie Xuanchen, she didn’t feel any pain, she wanted to wear her shirt.
“My Load, I..I want to change ….clothes.” After a while Mu Mingtang said shyly.
Then Xie Xuanchen turned around consciously and said, “I can’t see it, you can change your clothes.”
Mu Mingtang gave a low hum, picked up the middle coat on the side and tied it. She stumblingly fastened his belt, covering herself tightly, and then said to Xie Xuanchen, “I’m done.”
In fact, Xie Xuanchen heard it. He was very embarrassed at the moment, but he had to show a calm and composed look. He just turned around and was about to say something to ease the atmosphere, when he saw Mu Mingtang take two steps forward and suddenly open her arms to hug him: “It’s okay, we will definitely find a solution.”
