Xing Bang transmigrated into the palace as a fake eunuch. He started in the Cold Palace, where there were not only abandoned concubines but also the female family members and daughters of convicted...
Xing Bang followed the young eunuch to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. This time, they did not go directly to the imperial study as before, but went to a side hall nearby.
After entering, Liu Xian was not there, only Cao Zhengchun was there, and it was obvious that he was waiting for Xing Bang here.
Soon, the young eunuch closed the door and went out.
Xing Bang took two quick steps to Cao Zhengchun and bowed respectfully.
"No need to be so polite. Please sit down. Your Majesty is taking a nap right now. Please wait here for a while."
"Yes, father-in-law!"
Xing Bang didn't hesitate and sat down below Cao Zhengchun.
It is not difficult to guess that he must have something to tell me.
As expected, Cao Zhengchun spoke up soon, "Little Korean, His Majesty summoned you here probably to ask about something related to the dragon's body...
I tell you, if His Majesty asks you about other things, you can answer them yourself, but if he talks about some illnesses and asks you if you have any way to cure them, of course, only you know whether you can cure them. I don’t care about these. If you can cure them, then everything will be fine.”
"But, remember one thing. Even if you have no other options, you must not tell the truth. You must leave hope for His Majesty..."
"Can you understand what we say?"
Cao Zhengchun naturally wouldn't explain it too clearly to Xing Bang. He knew Liu Xian's problems best, and he also knew how powerful the witch god's curse was. Therefore, he basically had no hope, but he knew Liu Xian's inner desire even better.
Therefore, Cao Zhengchun would never allow Xing Bang to beat Liu Xian to death with a stick just because he was powerless.
After he said that, Xing Bang knew what was going on, but he still pretended to be confused and worried, and said, "Eunuch, if I can treat it, I will definitely do my best, but if I can't, it's not a crime of deceiving the emperor. If I can't hide it from His Majesty, he will be furious and I will lose my head."
"I know this well. Just follow my instructions. Don't worry. Nothing will happen. This is also for the sake of His Majesty."
Cao Zhengchun looked serious.
"In that case, I will just follow your orders, sir."
Xing Bang could already guess what was going on and had the answer in his mind. It was not that it could not be cured, but that it really could not be cured.
There was no choice but to agree.
"Okay, very good. No matter what the result is, our family is here to ensure that you are safe!"
"Thank you, father-in-law!"
Xing Bang nodded. You don't have to tell me. Liu Xian won't do anything to me...
Not long after.
"Okay, go to the Imperial Study and wait, we'll go see His Majesty!"
As he was speaking, Cao Zhengchun stood up, and Xing Bang followed suit.
…
Xing Bang waited in the imperial study for about a quarter of an hour, and then Liu Xian came over and sat down behind the dragon table.
After bowing, he stood in front of the dragon table.
Soon, Liu Xian said, "Little Korean, I heard that you went to treat Lady Gao today."
"Yes, sire!"
Liu Xian hesitated for a moment before continuing, "I had forgotten about your superb medical skills..." This kind of thing is difficult for a man to talk about, let alone an emperor.
"Little Korean, Chinese medicine emphasizes observation, listening, questioning and palpation. What do you think of my current complexion?"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Xing Bang responded, then looked up at Liu Xian. This was obviously just nonsense spoken out of embarrassment, which further confirmed his intention. Don't think that I don't know about your affairs. You just want to regain your glory!
However, Xing Bang still had to pretend to be confused and act very serious...
"Your Majesty, although your complexion still shows signs of illness, you are like a completely different person compared to the past few days. If you take good care of yourself over time, I believe your Majesty will get better and better."
"Little Korean, you really have some skills. I hope it's as you said!"
Liu Xian nodded and said these words which were somewhat insincere. It was obvious that none of this mattered, as the key point had not yet been adjusted and spoken.
"But, little stick, since you can tell that I have an internal illness, I wonder if you can tell what it is?"
"Your Majesty, I dare not make a rash judgment. I'd better check your pulse before making a final conclusion."
Although Xing Bang had thought of his response, he still decided to be more conventional. Since he was going to cheat, he had to be more professional so that people would be more convinced.
Seeking medical advice was a normal thing, so Liu Xian agreed readily.
Then, he lay down on the soft couch next to him. Cao Zhengchun quickly moved a stool, and Xing Bang sat next to him and began to take Liu Xian's pulse.
Liu Xian was really serious. He could feel Long's pulse just by touching his hands. He lay down calmly, fearing that the diagnosis might be wrong.
Xing Bang pretended to close his eyes. He knew what was of concern without diagnosis, and he would talk about it in a moment.
However, Xing Bang was not unable to diagnose the problem. Liu Xian's pulse was extremely disordered. He was undoubtedly strong on the outside but weak on the inside. This showed how powerful the witchcraft was.
What a useless person!
It was almost time, so Xing Bang finished the pulse diagnosis.
"Your Majesty, your basic condition is fine, but your spleen and kidneys are seriously damaged. I'm afraid it's..."
Xing Bang would naturally not touch upon other things, and would only talk about the key points. Liu Xian naturally would not hold out the slightest hope that he would be able to resolve the curse of the witch god, and only held out the hope that he could be at least a little bit more normal.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a little bit bad, but it’s really frustrating if it’s not good enough!
"Well, in that case, little stick boy, do you have any tricks to help me?"
Xing Bang's implicitness was exactly what Liu Xian wanted. He understood it and didn't need to say any more unnecessary nonsense.
