Chapter 194 The Former Senior Brother Who Caused Trouble
Qing Yi, however, was not embarrassed at all. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a bright smile: "Hello, Doctor Lin, thank you for what you did yesterday."
Qing Yi was grateful to Doctor Lin from the bottom of his heart. If he hadn't delivered the letter in time, Xiao Ye and Ruyi and the others... the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Actually, it was just a coincidence. I happened to have some free time yesterday, so I came to help Doctor Lin pick herbs. I accidentally mentioned that I had just met Doctor Li in the palace.
When Doctor Lin heard this, his heart skipped a beat. How could his senior brother suddenly come to Xibei Wangcheng? And even in the palace?
You know, ever since Master Li Zuo expelled him from the sect, he'd strictly forbidden him from even setting foot in Wangcheng. Years ago, Senior Brother had come here once before, but that was also to save the young prince's life, forced by Mu Bai and the others. After rescuing the young prince, he didn't dare stay a moment longer and hurried away.
The more Doctor Lin thought about it, the more he felt something was amiss. An inexplicable unease washed over him. He no longer cared about the herbs in his hand. Without even a moment to say hello to Qingqing, he hurried to find his senior brother, Li Qingting.
He was worried his senior brother might get into trouble in the palace. After all, this wasn't an ordinary place. The King of the Northwest held the power of life and death, and his temper was volatile. If his senior brother accidentally angered the prince, he might lose his life.
Doctor Lin hurried along and finally found Li Qingting. He anxiously asked, "Brother, why did you come to Xibeiwang City, and why did you come to the palace?"
Li Qingting naturally wouldn't tell the truth, saying he came to steal the Medicine Valley's rare medicinal herbs. He made up an excuse: "Someone paid me a large sum of money to come to Wangcheng to treat a patient. After the treatment, I was drinking at a restaurant and happened to run into the King of the Northwest and Mu Xin. They invited me so graciously that I followed them to the palace."
After hearing this, Doctor Lin frowned slightly. After thinking for a moment, he felt that this explanation was somewhat credible.
This senior brother of mine loves wine, beauties, and is also greedy for money. In any case, apart from his superb medical skills, in other aspects, he is no different from those ruffians in the world.
However, Doctor Lin still had doubts in his heart. The King of Northwest was not the kind of person who would sympathize with someone like Li Qingting. Why would he invite him to the palace for no reason?
Doctor Lin deliberately put on a stern face and used his master Li Zuo to scare him. Li Qingting was a little frightened, but he finally revealed the real purpose of the King of the Northwest asking him to come to the palace.
After listening to Li Qingting's story, Doctor Lin took a long time to react and exclaimed, "Isn't this causing trouble! What on earth was she thinking by giving the young prince drugs? This is clearly humiliating the young prince!"
Although this was an order from the prince himself, Doctor Lin was filled with worry. What if the young prince regained consciousness? Perhaps the young prince had no recourse against his father, but given his proud character, how could he tolerate such humiliation? Surely, the first person to suffer would be his former senior brother!
Doctor Lin had been at the palace for over a decade, having watched the young prince grow up before his own eyes. He knew full well that the young prince had been plagued by toxins since childhood, enduring immense pain. Yet, even at such a young age, the young prince never cried or raged. Like any other child from an aristocratic family, he diligently studied and learned to read, and practiced martial arts day and night.
The young prince was exceptionally intelligent, courageous, and knowledgeable, his mind even calmer than the prince's. In Doctor Lin's opinion, offending the young prince might be even more terrifying than directly offending the prince!
Thinking of this, Doctor Lin could no longer control his anger. He was so angry that his whole body was shaking. He pointed his finger at Li Qingting's nose and cursed: "You, you! You are confused and have no brains! You are really looking for death! Don't you want to think about the consequences?"
After scolding him, Doctor Lin was so anxious that he ran to Yunqi Courtyard. He thought that he must see the young prince as soon as possible to see if he could come up with any solution to remedy the situation.
However, when he arrived at Yunqi Courtyard, breathless, he was stopped by the guards at the door. The guards said expressionlessly, "The prince has ordered that no one is allowed to enter."
Doctor Lin was helpless. He didn't know martial arts and couldn't force his way in. After pacing around in circles for a few times, he had no choice but to trot off to the young prince's bedroom.
Along the way, he kept thinking of countermeasures in his mind. After thinking about it, he realized that he couldn't just ask others for help with this kind of thing. The only person he could trust was Qingfeng, the young prince's personal guard.
Unfortunately, when Doctor Lin hurriedly ran to the young prince's bedroom, Qingfeng was not there.
Doctor Lin was unfamiliar with Qing Yi and had some concerns, so he didn't dare to speak carelessly. Seeing how anxious Doctor Lin was, Qing Qing swore and persuaded Qing Yi to trust him. After Qing Qing's repeated persuasion, Doctor Lin finally gritted his teeth and revealed the truth to Qing Yi and Qing Qing: "The young prince has been drugged, and the prince wants the young prince to consummate his marriage with Ru Yi!"
After hearing this, Qing Yi's face darkened instantly, a fierce glint in his eyes. Without a word, he bolted out. Qing Qing didn't hesitate either, running after him.
Doctor Lin stood there, looking in the direction they left. Although he was still uneasy, he finally felt a little relieved. He gasped for breath and silently prayed that they could successfully rescue the young prince.
Later, he heard from others that Qingyi, the man who was described by Qingqing as being better to the young prince than Qingfeng, had turned the entire palace upside down.
