Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 154 - 156: The Regent King Afflicted with a Strange Illness

Chapter 154: Chapter 156: The Regent King Afflicted with a Strange Illness

"Regent King! No, the Regent King has been ambushed by this woman."

The soldiers of Beiqi saw it, each like facing a great enemy, drew their swords, and surrounded Dongfang Lianhua.

"Mother, Xiao Li, are you all okay?"

Upon hearing that Xiao Junci had arrived at the Princess’ Mansion, Feng Bailing quickly rushed back. Just outside the Princess’ Mansion, she heard the noise, pushed through the crowd, and saw Dongfang Lianhua’s face full of shock.

"I’m fine, the one in trouble is the Regent King."

"Quick, to the Princess’ Mansion."

A team of Imperial Guards rushed through the streets of Chu City.

Leading them were the brothers Dongfang Li and Dongfang Cheng.

"Big brother, Xiao Junci just went to visit Princess Yong’an, would directly capturing him be too..."

When Dongfang Li arrived at the Imperial Palace, before he could see Emperor Yongye, he met Dongfang Cheng first.

As soon as he heard that Xiao Junci of Beiqi had arrived in Chu City and first visited Dongfang Lianhua, Dongfang Cheng, without another word, wanted to arrest him.

"What else is there to say? Recently, Father Emperor has been unwell, often feeling dizzy, and the Imperial Physician is currently taking his pulse. Why bother Father Emperor further? Xiao Junci, with his wild ambitions, has come to Chu City and first visited Dongfang Lianhua, clearly having premeditated collusion. It’s an excellent opportunity to capture Feng Bailing and her daughter all in one net."

On horseback, Dongfang Cheng sneered.

"Still, it’s better not to be too hasty. Xiao Junci is the Regent King of Beiqi, holding a high position and significant power, and is an envoy of Beiqi; you can’t just arrest people carelessly."

Dongfang Li, fearing that Dongfang Cheng would act rashly and ruin the relations between the two nations.

"If Dugu Wu couldn’t bring down Xiao Junci, and we managed to capture him, we can tell Father Emperor and the citizens of Great Chu that we are a hundred times stronger than Dugu Wu."

Riding the horses swiftly, they arrived outside the Princess’ Mansion and indeed saw a team of carriages.

"What a gallant Princess Yong’an, daring to collude..."

Dongfang Cheng dismounted from his horse, and upon another look, the soldiers of Beiqi Army had their crossbows drawn, terrifying the passersby into scattering in all directions.

"The King has been assassinated, kill them, avenge the King."

The soldiers of Beiqi Army caused a commotion, and Dongfang Cheng took another look; Xiao Junci was lying on the ground, motionless.

Dongfang Li was also stunned. Wasn’t it said to be collusion? An assassination?

What is this act playing out?

Soldiers from both sides clashed with short weapons, and the brawl turned chaotic, threatening to result in a bloodbath.

"How dare you cause trouble in Great Chu."

A cold shout was heard, a man’s cool voice, like a bucket of cold water, poured over the heads of the crossbow-wielding soldiers from both nations.

A horse carriage stopped outside the Princess’ Mansion, Dugu Wu sat in the carriage, his slender fingers parting the carriage curtains, his eyes hawk-like and wolf-like, instantly intimidating the arrogant soldiers of Beiqi.

"Dugu Wu, you’ve arrived just in time, what exactly is going on here?"

Dongfang Cheng was at a loss for ideas.

Xiao Junci assassinated?

This is a serious matter; he is the Regent King of Beiqi, being assassinated in Chu City would surely lead to war between the two nations.

"He’s not dead, just fainted. His body temperature is abnormal, high fever leading to unconsciousness, he needs immediate treatment."

Feng Bailing took the opportunity in the chaos to check Xiao Junci’s pulse.

"Is there a military doctor with the team?"

Dugu Wu glanced at the Beiqi soldiers, a man who looked like a vice general didn’t dare to delay and called out a military doctor.

That military doctor hurriedly stepped forward to take Xiao Junci’s pulse.

After checking the pulse, the military doctor nodded.

"Reporting to Vice General Zhou, the Regent King has developed a high fever, but his breathing is steady, no life-threatening condition. However, the cause of the illness is unclear."

"What? The King was fine all the way, but as soon as he arrived at the Princess’ Mansion, he collapsed. Yes, he had contact with the Princess of Great Chu, it must be her, she poisoned the Regent King."

Upon hearing this, Vice General Zhou was furiously enraged and drew his sword to kill Dongfang Lianhua.

"How dare you! You dare to slander this princess, have you seen any signs of poisoning on the Regent King’s body?"

Dongfang Lianhua’s face was stern, and her beautiful eyes emitted a fierce aura.

The vice general was taken aback by the question, and then looked at the military doctor.

"There are no signs of poisoning. It’s best to find a secluded place to check thoroughly, if it’s delayed further, it might be detrimental to the Regent King."

The military doctor quickly added.

"What are you waiting for, hurry up and carry him inside."

Vice General Zhou was about to carry the person into the Princess’ Mansion.

"Wait!"

Feng Bailing and Dugu Wu spoke up simultaneously.

"Carry him to the Princess’ Mansion, and have someone carefully look after him."

Dugu Wu did not want his rival Xiao Junci to stay in the Princess’ Mansion, and Feng Bailing quickly echoed his sentiments.

Xiao Junci’s illness came strangely; this man is very cunning. Perhaps he is pretending to be sick to stay in the Princess’ Mansion due to concerns for his mother and Xiao Li’s safety.

Eventually, Xiao Junci was carried into the Princess’ Mansion.

"Xiao Junci is a distinguished guest of Beiqi. Now that both princes are here, leave him to the princes to entertain."

Dugu Wu let down the carriage curtain without saying more, and the carriage left.

"Mother, let’s go back first."

Feng Bailing picked up Feng Xiaoli and turned to leave.

"Wait, Princess Yong’an, shouldn’t you explain why Xiao Junci came to visit you first instead of going to the Imperial Palace?"

Dongfang Cheng stopped Dongfang Lianhua.

"Eldest Prince, you should ask Xiao Junci about this. My mother barely spoke a few words with Xiao Junci, and everyone under the sun, passersby saw it clearly."

Feng Bailing chuckled dryly and pulled Dongfang Lianhua away.

"How could this be... Ah, let’s first go see Xiao Junci."

Only then did Dongfang Cheng come back to his senses, realizing he had taken on a tough task; the matter of urgency was to wake up Xiao Junci.

The news that Xiao Junci of Beiqi had fallen severely ill as soon as he arrived in Chu City reached the Imperial Palace.

"Xiao Junci fainted outside the Princess’ Mansion? The Imperial Physician went there too, and also had no solution?"

"Emperor, this is a good thing; Xiao Junci is a major threat to our country."

Upon hearing this, the ministers all showed joy.

"Now that Xiao Junci is the envoy from Beiqi and he fell seriously ill during his visit, what would other countries think? If Beiqi uses this as a pretext to attack in alliance with other dynasties, how could Great Chu possibly withstand it?"

Emperor Yongye’s expression darkened, feeling a headache approaching; he had been mentally lethargic recently, constantly drowsy, and the Imperial Hospital prescribed many remedies that didn’t improve his condition, bothering him immensely, and now, Xiao Junci had an incident at this time.

Emperor Yongye thought of Feng Bailing’s master, the Medical Buddha.

The fact that Feng Bailing has a formidable master is still a secret, known only to Emperor Yongye and Li Qing, not even the Empress Dowager knows.

Could it be that the senior has made a move?

But Feng Bailing also said that her master appears unpredictably, showing up only once every few years.

If he knew his disciple was in danger, he would likely appear.

The fact that Xiao Junci was targeted, and his informants also reported that Dongfang Lianhua did not receive any letters from the Emperor Bei Qi, it’s clear the mother and daughter are not spies for Beiqi.

Emperor Yongye pondered and made up his mind.

"Summon someone, send a decree to Feng Bailing, instruct her to cure Xiao Junci’s illness; if she cures him, there will be a reward, if not, I will definitely hold the Princess’ Mansion accountable."
