The person who came was a man from the plane.
He wore a pale blue brocade robe, with a few cold plum blossoms tucked into his sleeves. A white jade crown held his black hair tightly in place, and his snow-white face eclipsed the surroundings.
He stood tall and straight, his steps leisurely. His brown eyes were like a deep pool, alone in the world, rather cold, proud and lonely.
"This servant pays homage to the Imperial Master..."
who?
Wei Shuyi didn't know this person, but seeing Wen Yu bowing so respectfully, he thought that his status in the palace was not low.
She struggled to stand up, but was stopped by the other party: "No need to be polite, just take a good rest."
His gaze lowered, a teardrop mole at the corner of his right eye, and his voice became increasingly clear and melodious: "I heard that Yu Gengyi was suffering in Yongxiang and was in critical condition. I came here specifically to investigate and to help ease the knot in your majesty's heart."
Xie Yanci actually cares about her so much?
Wei Shuyi felt that he was not seriously ill. There were very few imperial physicians entering and leaving Liufang Garden, and none of them were even as good as Jiang Yuanzheng.
What is the purpose of sending the highly respected national teacher at this time?
Although it was rude, she still asked, "Your Excellency, I luckily escaped the fire and wasn't seriously injured. I just need to rest for a few days. I'm sorry to have troubled you with all the trip! I wonder... what the Emperor wanted you to do?"
Wen Yu noticed the awkwardness in the atmosphere and quickly stepped forward to explain, "Miss, this is the Imperial Preceptor of our Great Zhou Dynasty. He has been traveling around the world and hasn't returned to the capital. It's truly remarkable that he's returned to the palace this time. His medical skills are superb, and he's a role model for our generation. If you have any ailments of yours, let him take a look. I'm sure they'll heal!"
Wei Shuyi suddenly remembered that rainy day.
In the emperor's forbidden palace, someone also mentioned: "The imperial master does not allow women to enter."
Is he the one who is respected by everyone and treated with courtesy by the emperor?
"It's alright." The man soothed her softly, walked in front of Wen Yu, and looked at her again, "I already know that Yu Gengyi was persecuted. I understand that you are wary of me. However, please don't misunderstand your majesty's good intentions."
"I dare not."
"Then I will begin to feel your pulse."
Wei Shuyi had just stretched out his left hand when he heard him continue to instruct, "Please take off Yu Gengyi's outer shirt."
Now, not only her, but even Wen Yu hesitated and did not take action.
The man reluctantly took out a long handkerchief, folded it several times, and covered his eyes with it. Relying on his memory, he walked around behind the screen and sat down steadily on the stool.
"Don't worry, I will never overstep the bounds. I will only act according to the rules."
Wen Yu then used his body to block her and gently took off her outer garment, leaving only a thin undergarment. "Master Imperial Master, it's done."
"Get out of the way." "Yes."
Just as Wen Yu stood sideways at the head of the bed, several golden threads pierced through the screen and flew towards Wei Shuyi! Rather than saying that they resembled the silk threads used in the embroidery room, it would be better to say that they were terrifying transformed living creatures!
At the end of each line, there is a small insect the size of a grain of rice.
They found the right position and, after a slight sting, penetrated into her skin, causing the golden threads to vibrate.
Wen Yu frowned as he watched, but was afraid that speaking out loud would affect the pulse diagnosis, so he could only bear it.
As for Wei Shuyi, after looking away, he felt no discomfort at all. Instead, a coolness spread from his shoulder to his wrist, greatly relieving the burning sensation of his wound.
"Thank you, Yu Gengyi, for your cooperation."
He exerted a little force, and the little bug left his body again, retreating along the direction of the golden thread!
The lone figure walked out from behind the screen and did not come forward. "I will report this to Your Majesty now. Please rest assured, Yu Gengyi, and recover from your injuries."
"Okay, thank you, sir."
It was not until I watched him leave that the strange feeling of resistance in my heart slowly dissipated.
Wei Shuyi asked worriedly, "Wen Yu, are you sure this is the person?"
"I'm sure! The prince went to great lengths to invite the Imperial Preceptor to the palace for a meeting. That's when I saw him... After all these years, his appearance hasn't changed at all. He's truly a cultivator!"
"You said he has extraordinary medical skills?"
"That's right!" Wen Yu responded enthusiastically. "When the prince asked us to choose the subjects we wanted to study, I envied the Imperial Master's celestial qualities and stature, so I secretly studied medicine. Many of the various elixirs and medicines in the palace, even the instruments used for punishment, were personally developed by the Imperial Master!"
Yes, she remembered.
Huaping, the frightened palace maid in Shoukang Palace, was afraid of the bowl of blood-eating juice.
The emperor specially arranged for such a distinguished person to take her pulse, was it really just for her pulse condition?
——Forbidden Palace.
"If you don't return to the capital, I won't be able to find a national player to play chess with." Xie Yanci placed a black piece, seemingly unintentionally, "Have you been to Liufang Garden?"
"I've already gone." The man, holding the white piece, observed the chess game. "Your Majesty's chess skills have improved significantly. If I don't respond carefully, I'll be completely destroyed in the next move!"
"Yu Huai, are you worried?"
"Minister, no."
Xie Yanci simply exposed his disguise: "Although the number of times we've played chess is limited, every game is worth reviewing and experiencing. If you weren't so distracted, you wouldn't have left such an obvious flaw at the beginning."
The light blue long sleeves moved, and the white piece fell back into place.
He bowed and responded solemnly, "I do have something important to report."
"I've told you countless times that you are the Grand Master of the Great Zhou. You don't need to behave like this in private."
"This matter is of such importance that I cannot discuss it casually." Yu Huai chose his words carefully. "If I were to say that even if Yu Gengyi committed the serious crime of witchcraft, Your Majesty cannot take her life, what would you say?"
Now, it was Xie Yanci's turn to fall silent.
This is a big taboo in the palace and the person should be punished with death penalty to serve as a warning to others.
Why can't it be dealt with?
He continued rambling, "Of course, I'm not convinced she's the culprit. I simply want to say that Yu Gengyi's fate is unusual, and I need to carefully examine it in conjunction with the astronomical phenomena. She must not be killed in the short term, otherwise, endless disasters will befall her."
"She was just a palace maid, with no relatives or friends, how could she..."
"This is what I'm confused about, and I can't answer Your Majesty for now." Yu Huai sighed and brought up the old case. "I've already seen the evidence from the Lin'an Palace witchcraft incident. They were just scare trinkets put in there later, not effective spells, and are harmless. Yu Gengyi had just entered Yongxiang when such a major incident occurred. Perhaps she was the one being wrongly accused."
The Imperial Master has always been a man of few words. Apart from discussing serious matters, he basically never talks about matters related to the imperial concubines.
The person in front of him suddenly broke the previous rules and seemed to be begging for mercy, which surprised Xie Yanci.
"I have already sent people to investigate the fire in Yongxiang. As for what you said, I will keep it in mind and treat Yu Gengyi with preferential treatment for the time being to ensure her safety."
"I thank Your Majesty for your consideration. It is getting late. I will leave the palace immediately and return when there is progress."
Xie Yanci nodded in response, but his eyes followed his long sleeves.
During the late emperor's lifetime, mountain torrents tore through the land, causing countless casualties, leaving the roads empty and stricken with starvation, and widespread disease. Amidst these natural and man-made disasters, the Imperial Preceptor remained calm and composed, rushing to command the response. He never once considered his own life or death, let alone panicked.
But he has changed today.
Even though he tried hard to control the trembling of his hands, the uncoordinated movements when walking still caught Xie Yanci's attention.
