Chapter 209 Being heartless now means being brainless later.

Let's wait until the imperial physician examines us before making a decision.

"However, those two said that it was stolen from a divine doctor surnamed Shen. Who is this divine doctor surnamed Shen? A divine doctor must be very powerful. If he is a divine doctor, the things he has must be of high quality. And those two notorious thieves, they are notorious thieves. They wouldn't risk their lives to steal an ordinary thing, would they?"

Sheng Sheng pretended to think, and the more she talked, the more reasonable it seemed. Before long, she convinced herself and nodded affirmatively, "So, Sheng Sheng thinks the possibility is still very high."

Xie Yunchuan and Xie Yunyang had not mentioned to Xie Yuxiao that the deceased Physician Sikong had possessed many Rejuvenating Herbs, nor did they know that the current head of the Imperial Medical Academy of Jin and the Physician Shen mentioned by Shengsheng were Physician Sikong's apprentices. Therefore, Xie Yuxiao was somewhat puzzled when he heard Shengsheng mention this Physician Shen.

"Who is the Divine Physician Shen...?"

Sheng Sheng, of course, didn't know either. The only thing she knew was that she had heard those two notorious thieves mention it not long ago.

Sheng Sheng shook her head blankly: "Hmm... Sheng Sheng doesn't know either, but a miracle doctor must be a doctor with exceptional medical skills, otherwise, why would everyone call him a miracle doctor? So Sheng Sheng thinks there's still a good chance!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Yuxiao nodded repeatedly: "That makes sense."

Xie Yuxiao certainly wouldn't blindly assume that what Sheng Sheng said made sense just because of her brief analysis.

Xie Yuxiao just felt inexplicably that there was something mysterious about his daughter.

You could say she's lucky, but she always seems to run into bad luck.

You might think she's unlucky, but she always manages to escape danger unscathed and even gain some unexpected benefits.

Xie Yuxiao remembered the day Shengsheng was born, when all the birds sang together.

Looking at Sheng Sheng now, she does seem to be very popular with animals; even the cub of the king of beasts recognizes her as its master.

Xie Yuxiao sighed, unsure whether Sheng Sheng's mysterious aura was a good thing or a bad thing.

Well, the little dumpling is clever after all. As long as she is safe and sound, that's enough. He doesn't ask for anything else.

After the father and daughter had a serious discussion, Chunhua came to report that Xiao Quanzi had woken up.

"Oh, Xiao Quanzi is awake!" Sheng Sheng jumped up. "Father, Sheng Sheng is going to see Fifth Brother now!"

"Why--"

Xie Yuxiao looked at Shengsheng, who hadn't turned around, and sighed helplessly.

The sound returned to Xie Yunqi, who was sobbing and crying on Xiao Quanzi's body. Behind him, Consort Li was disgusted and speechless. She reached out to pull him up so that he would stop this shameful behavior.

Xie Yunqi didn't even look, flung his hand away, and continued wailing, "Waaaaah, Xiao Quanzi, you scared me to death! I thought you were going to die! If you died, who would take the punishment for me when I got into trouble? Waaaaah..."

Xiao Quanzi had just woken up. His whole body was covered in wounds wrapped in gauze. His face was pale, and even his breathing was very weak.

Xie Yunqi's crying made Xiao Quanzi's chest heave, and he almost choked.

"Your Highness...cough cough cough, this servant..."

"What? What did you say, Xiao Quanzi?!"

Xie Yunqi whimpered and brought her ear close to Xiao Quanzi's mouth, then moved her elbow so that it landed right on Xiao Quanzi's chest. This made it even harder for Xiao Quanzi to breathe, and he couldn't even cough properly, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

Xie Yunqi misunderstood, thinking that Xiao Quanzi was so excited to see him again after escaping death that he even sobbed and comforted Xiao Quanzi: "Waaah, Xiao Quanzi, don't be excited, I'm here, I'm here, you didn't die, you can take my punishment in the future!"

Xiao Quanzi: ...

Consort Li: ...

Sheng Sheng: ...

The imperial physician had already instructed his apprentice to prepare the medicine. When the physician, who had just gone out to bring the medicine back in, saw this scene, he was so startled that he almost dropped the medicine bowl.

"Oh, Your Highness, you can't just press someone down like that!"

Xiao Quanzi's wound was throbbing with pain from the pressure. The imperial physician noticed that his face was turning blue and was afraid that the person he had managed to save might die. He trembled as he stepped forward to move Xie Yunqi away, but hesitated to touch him because the other was a prince.

Consort Li strode over and grabbed Xie Yunqi by the ear: "You little brat, you're always causing trouble. The imperial physician went through so much trouble to save Xiao Quanzi, and you want to kill him?"

"Ouch!"

Xie Yunqi begged for mercy in pain, "Mother, what are you doing? It hurts so much!"

Consort Li sneered, "So you do feel pain? Xiao Quanzi is covered in injuries. You're so big, how can you not hurt him when you're pressing down on him?"

Xie Yunqi suddenly realized: "Oh! So that's how it is. No wonder Xiao Quanzi kept saying 'Aba Aba'."

Everyone fell silent.

Xiao Quanzi on the bed wanted to cry but couldn't. Although he didn't have the strength to speak, his five senses were clear. He really wanted to cry but couldn't.

The imperial physician instructed the young apprentice to administer the oral medicine to Xiao Quanzi, while he himself applied the external medicine to him.

Don't underestimate Xiao Quanzi just because he's a eunuch. A eunuch who can get Consort Li to speak to His Majesty personally and make the Fifth Prince cry like this is no ordinary eunuch.

The imperial physicians dared not relax for a moment, fearing that if they failed to cure the patient, these powerful figures, each more formidable than the last, would get angry and rip off their heads.

Xie Yunqi calmed down for the time being, and Shengsheng bounced in. As soon as Consort Li saw her, she quickly said, "Shengsheng, you're here! Come and teach your fifth brother a good lesson. He's so carefree all day long. In a few years, he'll become brainless! He doesn't know what he should or shouldn't do. It's really worrying me to death."

Sheng Sheng smiled and said, "Your Highness, Fifth Prince is too anxious. In fact, Fifth Prince still loves Xiao Quanzi very much."

Xie Yunqi chimed in, looking aggrieved: "That's right, that's right."

Sheng Sheng turned to Xie Yunqi and smiled, "However, Fifth Brother was indeed a bit—reckless."

Xie Yunqi: "..."

Xie Yunqi was horrified: "Sister, even you treat your brother like this!"

Consort Li sighed, feeling utterly helpless.

Sheng Sheng chatted with Xie Yunqi for a while and learned that Xiao Quanzi was fine now, as long as he took his medicine and applied the medicine on time every day.

After the imperial physician finished writing the medical prescription for Xiao Quanzi and left, Sheng Sheng also bid farewell to Consort Li and Xie Yunqi, and hurriedly caught up with the imperial physician.

"Uncle Imperial Physician!"

Upon hearing her call to him, the imperial physician bowed to her in a flustered manner, saying, "I dare not accept such praise. Does the Second Princess have something important to discuss with me?"

With a gentle smile, she said, "Uncle Imperial Physician, Father Emperor needs to speak with you."

That's not wrong. The "Rejuvenating Herb" is with the Emperor. Since the Emperor is going to find the imperial physician anyway, she can just call the imperial physician over now. How can that not be the Emperor looking for him?
