Chapter 233 Wedding
When the imperial doctors saw the sharp tip of the sword in front of them, they finally saw the true face of Emperor Liang!
They all knelt on the ground and said, "A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated! Your Majesty, please kill us! We will never accept castration!"
Emperor Liang's veins bulged with rage, but he wasn't completely mad. He roared, "Are you all trying to threaten me? My request is simple: just get through tomorrow night without a problem! Once the matter is settled, who cares if she's a princess or not?"
At this time, a young imperial physician kowtowed three times and said, "Your Majesty, I have an idea. I wonder if I should share it with you?"
Emperor Liang's tense nerves relaxed a little, and he said, "Just tell me! If you speak well, I will promote you to the position of Chief Imperial Physician!"
The doctor's face lit up with joy as he said, "Your Majesty, walls have ears. Can I speak to you in your ear?"
Emperor Liang nodded and said, "Okay, come over here!"
The doctor stepped forward and whispered in Emperor Liang's ear for a long time. The emperor's face turned from frighteningly dark to calm. Finally, he said to the doctor in front of him, "What's your name?"
The young doctor replied, "My surname is Lan, my given name is Hao, and I just joined the Imperial Hospital this year."
Emperor Liang nodded and said, "Okay, if everything goes well tomorrow, you will be the new Chief Imperial Physician!"
Bian Shining, who was kneeling on the ground, had a very ugly expression on his face. It was not that he was occupying the position of chief imperial physician and was unwilling to give it up, but the new imperial physician Lan Hao was not the best in medical skills, nor was he the most experienced. No matter what, it would not be his turn!
"Your Majesty, isn't this inappropriate? Lan Hao has just been in the Imperial Medical Bureau for less than a year and has a lot to learn. Isn't it too hasty to let him be the chief imperial physician?" Bian Shining said with a frown.
Emperor Liang snorted coldly and said, "I have said that whoever can help me solve the problem will be the chief physician. My words are golden. Bian Shining, are you questioning me? If you have the guts, come up with some advice!"
Bian Shining knew that Emperor Liang's vitals were seriously injured and could not be healed. He didn't know what kind of evil idea Lan Hao had that actually persuaded Emperor Liang!
Suddenly, Bian Shining felt someone pulling the corner of his robe twice. He glanced at the corner of his eye and saw that it was the imperial physician Guan Chenyang, with whom he had a good relationship. Guan Chenyang was reminding him not to talk back.
He took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, I just think this is a bit hasty. If Your Majesty insists on this, we will fully support you!"
Emperor Liang smiled contemptuously and said, "Everyone, step back! No one is allowed to tell anyone about what happened today, or you will all be castrated!"
"Yes! We will take our leave!" Bian Shining left Emperor Liang's bedroom with a group of imperial doctors.
After walking outside, Lan Hao stopped Bian Shining and said, "Master Doctor, are you very dissatisfied with me? I don't want to do that, but if I hadn't stood up and said something, all of us would have been dragged away and castrated!"
Bian Shining turned his head to look at Lan Hao and said expressionlessly: "I'm not dissatisfied, it's just that you are still young and there are still many things you need to learn in the palace. You should work harder in the future!"
Lan Hao wasn't impressed by Bian Shining's conventional answer. He shrugged and said, "Of course. I think the Medical Master will be happy to help me!"
Everyone knows that Lan Hao is pushing his limits, wanting this and that, but he doesn't even think about his own abilities.
Bian Shining smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely handle the work properly when the time comes. I will tell you everything I know!"
Lan Hao's face showed a look of surprise, and he said happily: "That's great! See you tomorrow!"
With that, Lan Hao walked out of the palace triumphantly. Some people who wanted to flatter him followed Lan Hao closely.
There were only a few elderly imperial physicians left by Bian Shining's side. These people had all received instruction from Bian Shining's master, Jiu Laoguai, and could be considered half-disciples, so emotionally, they supported Bian Shining more!
"Shi Ning, why are you so confused? Lan Hao is just a villain, why did you agree to him? People like him can only enter our Imperial Hospital thanks to his father who is the Minister of Justice. With his ability, no one dares to find him to practice medicine outside!" Guan Chenyang complained.
Bian Shining said with a smile, "You just saw it. The emperor insisted on making him the chief physician. Besides, job handover is a normal process, and I didn't say I would help him! Does he have to take me with him every time he takes the pulse of the empresses in the palace? Even if he is willing, I don't want it!"
Guan Chenyang's eyes gleamed as he said to the other doctors, "Don't help him! I want to see how long this idiot can stay as the chief doctor."
The other doctors agreed, "Don't worry! Those people who followed to flatter us don't have much ability. We won't be their stepping stones!"
"Alas! Shi Ning, when your master was still serving as the chief physician in the palace, the atmosphere in our Imperial Hospital was so good! No one without some skills could get in! Now, you can even buy the position of imperial physician. The world is really going downhill! Think about how your master ended up with his entire family wiped out. I wonder if we can live to see the day when we can retire and return home!"
Bian Shining looked around warily and quickly stopped the complaints of several imperial physicians. "We haven't even left the palace yet. There are so many patrolling guards here. Be careful not to let the emperor hear anything! Some things are better kept to yourself. If you keep things to yourself, you can always live a few more days! Let's go!"
The next day, the capital was filled with the sound of gongs and drums and firecrackers. People came out upon hearing the noise and stood on the streets to watch the excitement.
In the inn, Princess Pearl wore the wedding dress of the Dongsui Kingdom. With the help of her maid, she looked bright and charming, and even more beautiful than usual!
King Yu Feiyu dismissed everyone and handed a box to Princess Pearl, saying, "I've heard that Emperor Liang was attacked by an assassin and was seriously injured. So, if you want to win his heart, you might not be able to rely solely on your skills in bed! Here are the Susu flowers I prepared. You can put them in your incense or food. They'll make Emperor Liang feel dazed and completely obedient to you!"
Princess Pearl placed the box into her wide sleeves, bowed to Yu Feiyu, and said, "I know what to do. King, are you really leaving tomorrow?"
Yu Feiyu nodded and said, "That's right! I will leave a few people in the capital. I have already told your old lady Shan Po Po about this. She knows how to contact you outside the palace. You can go into the palace without worry!"
Princess Pearl reluctantly leaned on Yu Feiyu's shoulder, tears welling up in her eyes. "My King, do I really have to enter the palace? I want to go back with you, even if I have to be your lowest maid!"
