Chapter 180 The Emperor Likes Feng Yun!
Anna was not happy with the marriage, so she ran away not long after marrying her father-in-law.
But his father-in-law had kept this a secret, and a couple of days ago the palace demanded the person from him, which he couldn't produce.
"Then what should we do?"
"My father-in-law is telling the truth. The royal family doesn't dare to blame him. After all, Princess Anna's escape is ultimately the royal family's responsibility."
It is said that the royal family plans to hold a secret banquet tomorrow night, and then select a woman to present to the father-in-law as a sign of sincerity.
"Why does the royal family of Country A always resort to such low-level tactics?" Xia Yue was both angry and helpless.
But at the same time, she had an idea.
She needs to infiltrate the secret banquet and find her father!
She wanted to know why her father, who was still alive, had ignored her and never returned to China all these years.
My mother and brother are both in the Feng family, so why doesn't my father try to reunite them?
The answer to all this can only be found when I see my father.
Qin Yeting saw through Xia Yue's thoughts and whispered, "Although you are the emperor's doctor, his cooperation with the black market exchange is shady and he won't take you in. Don't alert him for now."
“This is my only chance to get close to my father recently, and I don’t want to miss it,” Xia Yue replied calmly.
She had already made up her mind, and no matter what Qin Yeting said, she would not change her mind.
Seeing this, Qin Yeting had no choice but to stop for the time being.
The next day.
Just like yesterday, Xia Yue went to the palace to treat the emperor first.
Then, they were taken to that mysterious room to detoxify the woman wearing a mask.
In order to expel the toxins from the other person's body, she needs to perform precise acupuncture treatment.
There are several acupoints located on the face.
Coincidentally, Xia Yue really wanted to know who this person was.
So she suggested to the emperor, "I need to remove her mask and perform acupuncture on her face; facial nerve acupoints are also very important."
"Write down the acupuncture points and the timing, and I will arrange for another doctor to treat you." The emperor didn't want Xia Yue to see the woman's true face.
Xia Yue raised an eyebrow and said directly, "You want Gu Chen to treat you, right?"
The emperor was somewhat displeased that his thoughts had been seen through, but he did not say anything more.
After all, the hope for a successful treatment still rests in Xia Yue's hands.
Xia Yue looked at the person on the bed again, and then continued, "Although Gu Chen is my senior brother, he is obsessed with power struggles. Although he has talent in medicine, he has not been able to fully utilize it."
I'm not saying this behind his back, but his medical skills are probably far inferior to mine.
Although the poison can be cured, if it isn't completely removed, the facial nerves will be damaged, and the woman may develop facial paralysis later in life.
"It doesn't matter, as long as she's alive." The emperor didn't care about so much.
Anyway, ever since the palace coup, she has never been kind to me.
There's no difference between her facial paralysis and her usual gloomy face.
Xia Yue was somewhat annoyed when her attempt to test the waters failed.
What's wrong with this person? Since they went to such great lengths to have her save someone, why didn't she care whether the other person had facial paralysis in the end?
For a woman, no matter how old she is, she values her appearance.
Regardless of what she thought in her heart, on the surface, Xia Yue still had to pretend that nothing was wrong and continue with her treatment.
The treatment ended in the afternoon.
Xia Yue was blindfolded and led away again.
The emperor had something to do tonight, so he gave Xia Yue the day off early and told her to leave.
Xia Yue, however, insisted on staying, citing the emperor's treatment as the more important reason.
"Your Majesty, I am in good spirits today and can personally prepare the medicine. I am worried that when I am not around, you will find the medicine too bitter and refuse to drink it."
If that's the case, then all my previous treatments were for nothing.
Xia Yue looked for an excuse to stay.
Seeing Xia Yue's sincerity and hoping she could recover soon, the emperor ultimately allowed her to stay.
He went on to attend to his official duties.
Meanwhile, Xia Yue was outwardly preparing medicine, but in reality, she was plotting how to find her father!
Fortunately, Qin Yeting had spies in the palace responsible for investigating.
Xia Yue contacted her spies and obtained intelligence about the emperor.
She secretly lay in wait, hoping to infiltrate tonight's secret banquet.
But the palace was too big, and she was unfamiliar with the roads there.
As Xia Yue walked, she realized she had taken the wrong path!
She arrived at a very desolate courtyard, overgrown with weeds, with fallen leaves and dead trees.
At this moment, the sun had set, and the surroundings were dark and gloomy, exuding an eerie and chilling aura.
"Damn, what kind of place is this?" Xia Yue couldn't help but complain.
"This is the Cold Palace." A cold, hoarse female voice came from behind!
Xia Yue was startled and immediately turned around to look.
It was a middle-aged woman with disheveled hair, most of her face burned, making her ugly and ferocious.
She shone a flashlight into Xia Yue's eyes.
Xia Yue reached out and covered her face.
Upon seeing Xia Yue's appearance, the middle-aged woman dropped her flashlight and rushed over to choke Xia Yue!
"Feng Yun! How dare you come to me, you shameless woman! You damned traitor! If it weren't for you, my son would have become emperor long ago!"
The middle-aged woman cursed angrily, and the force with which she gripped Xia Yue's neck increased.
Xia Yue had no choice but to take out her gold needles and pierce the acupoints on the other person's hand!
"ah!"
The middle-aged woman cried out in pain and released Xia Yue.
Xia Yue took two steps back, looked at the madwoman, and carefully pondered what she had said.
