Chapter 138 Tan Zhuoyan prepares to establish a career
Liu Ruyi felt relieved to hear her daughter's clear and logical explanation that everything had been arranged. Her daughter had grown up and was no longer a little girl who needed her to worry about her. Now, she needed her daughter to worry about her.
Liu Ruyi looked at the shrine in the compartment and prayed silently in her heart that her husband would protect her and her daughter in the afterlife.
"This is a good arrangement, but can you always wear this human skin mask? The craftsmanship of the person who made this mask is amazing, and it's hard to tell whether it's real or fake. Why don't you just wear this human skin mask and dress up as a woman?"
Liu Ruyi looked her daughter up and down, feeling sorry for her daughter from the bottom of her heart that she didn't have to wear a mask in front of others.
"You have already severed ties with the prince, and have no further connection with the Marquis's Mansion, either internally or externally. Put on a mask, change your appearance, and start over."
As she spoke, Liu Ruyi was worried that she had said something wrong, and she looked up at Liu Mingyue's face nervously.
My daughter's face was as white as jade when she was young, but she later fell ill and developed scars on her face, which led to her being ridiculed and ostracized since she was a child.
Liu Ruyi's uneasy expression fell into Liu Mingyue's eyes. Liu Mingyue touched the birthmark on her cheek and shook her head indifferently: "Mother, in fact, the birthmark on my daughter's face is not unhealable."
"Can it be cured?" Liu Ruyi's dim pupils suddenly lit up, and she excitedly held Liu Mingyue's hand.
"It can be cured. My daughter had planned to wait until after the divorce before curing the scars on her face. Now that everything is settled, the treatment can be done slowly. Mother, don't worry about your daughter."
Liu Mingyue smiled at the woman. She had just been ignoring the scar on her face. Tan Zhuoyan was an absolute egoist. Once she found out that the scar on her face could be removed, it was hard to say whether she would agree to divorce.
The news of the divorce of the Prince and Princess Dingbei spread in the capital. Surprisingly, this incident did not cause any trouble because there was another thing that surprised the people in the city even more, that is, the prince's leg was cured.
After Liu Mingyue left the Marquis' Mansion, Bai Ziyu still went to the Mansion regularly to help Tan Zhuoyan treat her leg.
During this period, Liu Mingyue spent a lot of money to buy a lot of rare herbs to treat the birthmark on her face.
The reason why she has scars on her face is because there is poison in her body. As long as the poison is eliminated, the scars on her face will naturally disappear.
According to the original plan, when Qin Zhuoyan's leg disease reached the final stage of treatment, the treatment process was extremely painful.
Bai Ziyu soaked the silver needles for acupuncture with a special potion that would not harm people's lives. However, when the needles pierced the skin and flesh, the person being treated would feel a bone-eroding pain, which was extremely painful.
The pain caused by acupuncture is comparable to torture. Bai Ziyu feels that he may not be able to withstand it if it is used on himself. He thinks that after a few days of treatment, Qin Zhuoyan will not be able to bear the pain and torture and retreat.
Unexpectedly, Qin Zhuoyan was extremely cruel to herself. Although she turned pale as paper during the acupuncture process, she still insisted on holding on.
"Good doctor, is today's treatment over?" Qin Zhuoyan asked weakly after Bai Ziyu withdrew the needle.
Bai Ziyu nodded thoughtfully: "It's over."
If Qin Zhuoyan wasn't such a mediocre person and wasn't mean to Liu Mingyue, Bai Ziyu would really want to admire him.
The treatment process was so difficult, but Qin Zhuoyan endured it. Next, things would be difficult. He and Liu Mingyue's original intention was not to really help Qin Zhuoyan cure her leg disease.
"Thank you, miracle doctor! After I have accomplished something great, I will reward you handsomely!" Tan Zhuoyan stood up by supporting himself on his knees, sweating profusely from the pain.
Bai Ziyu was a little absent-minded. He nodded perfunctorily, picked up the medicine box and left the mansion.
He had to discuss with Liu Mingyue first to see what to do next. The treatment of his leg disease had not yet been completed, and any action would have to be taken during the remaining seven days of treatment.
Before Bai Ziyu could meet Liu Mingyue, news came from Koucheng that bandits were causing chaos.
Because of its terrain, Koucheng has been plagued by banditry since the founding of the country. Originally, the banditry was small-scale and not a big problem, but in recent years, due to the lack of military generals in the court, banditry has gradually arisen.
For the common people, this is a disaster, but for those who want to make achievements, this is a great opportunity to stand out and prove themselves. When Tan Zhuoyan learned that the bandits in Koucheng were in chaos, he felt that his chance to become famous had come.
Before his leg disease was healed, Tan Zhuoyan asked Dingbei Hou to write a letter to the emperor, asking Dingbei Hou to recommend him in the name of his father to lead 3,000 troops to Koucheng to eliminate the bandits. Dingbei Hou refused Tan Zhuoyan without a second thought.
"You have only just recovered from your leg disease. It is not appropriate for you to lead troops to suppress bandits. Bandits are all desperate criminals. How can you handle them?" Dingbei Hou knelt in front of the table and looked at his son standing in front of the door with a complicated expression. "It is not a good thing to be too eager for quick success."
An opportunity is one that comes at the right time. It is unclear whether it is a blessing or a curse for Qin Zhuoyan to rush into suppressing the bandits.
"Father, you have to believe in me! Before I got sick with a leg disease and couldn't walk, I was quite accomplished in martial arts and even received guidance from a martial arts champion. You know that I am not weak in swordplay, riding or archery."
Qin Zhuoyan thought that his leg was healed and his father would be happy if he could win honor for the Dingbei Marquis Mansion. However, he didn't expect that when he proposed to go to suppress bandits, his father refused without a second thought.
"Your martial arts attainments are not low, of course your father knows that, but it is too hasty to suppress the bandits. You are still young and energetic, and there will be many opportunities to make achievements in the future. There is no need to stick to the present one."
Marquis Dingbei did not achieve anything on the battlefield, but as the descendant of a military general, he knew very well that military merit was earned by stepping on countless corpses. People would die on the battlefield, and who knew who would be the one dying?
"Father, if you are unwilling to help me to submit a petition to the emperor, I will go to the palace to see the emperor myself. This time, the bandit suppression is my chance to avenge my previous shame. I have made up my mind and I don't want to wait any longer."
Tan Zhuoyan's tone did not allow for negotiation. Seeing that Dingbei Hou remained silent, the young man frowned slightly, bowed and left. Dingbei Hou could not persuade Tan Zhuoyan, so he finally agreed to help him submit the petition.
When he was young, Tan Zhuoyan was a leader among all the princes and had great martial arts skills. The current emperor was troubled by the issue of suppressing bandits, and Tan Zhuoyan was willing to lead the troops to fight the bandits as soon as his leg injury healed. The emperor admired his ambition and immediately issued an order to order Tan Zhuoyan to go to the battlefield five days later.
"Divine Doctor, in five days I will lead the troops to fight against the bandits. I don't know if my leg disease will..."
As soon as Bai Ziyu arrived at the house that day, Qin Zhuoyan asked Bai Ziyu about the final treatment plan for his legs.
Although I had ulterior motives in order to treat Tan Zhuoyan's leg disease, it would be a lie to say that I didn't bother.
No one knew the condition of Qin Zhuoyan's legs better than Bai Ziyu. His legs looked like they were normal, but the problem was still there.
