Chapter 379
…
His Majesty the Emperor spoke, and all the ministers looked up silently. Huo Qi did not want to waste any more time on this dinner with ulterior motives. He glanced at the heads below and looked at Ou Yueji, who was dancing the most happily tonight.
Huo Qi's gaze fixed on Ou Yueji casually for a moment, causing a layer of cold sweat to break out on Ou Yueji's back.
"I'm afraid I'll disappoint you all. I was only a subject in this experiment, and I wasn't the researcher. This experiment took five years, and you can imagine how complicated it was." Huo Qi paused, and the ministers fell silent. Then he continued with a nostalgic sigh:
"Five years ago, I became the first subject of this experiment simply to give it a try. It's no exaggeration to call me a guinea pig. Fortunately, I won the bet.
The researcher of this experiment is indebted to me for saving my life. She has worked tirelessly for my health for nearly six years. This cure for gene collapse syndrome is the result of her years of hard work day and night.
I don't have the nerve to ask my savior for the "secret recipe" after having "eaten well"~ Wouldn't that be too much of an ungrateful person! " The sarcasm in Huo Qi's words was very obvious, and Ou Yueji's face turned even paler with shame.
"Your Highness, the Second Prince is right. Personal research results are strictly protected by Imperial law. This master's experimental results are even more so. However, the news that gene collapse syndrome can be cured will bring hope to countless patients with gene collapse syndrome. Your Highness, could you please recommend this master to the Empire and His Majesty the Emperor? If so, I request that His Majesty entertain the master with the highest level of Imperial ceremony."
The one who stepped forward this time was Rong Yuhui, the former patriarch of the Rong family. He was worthy of being the head of the new clan and the old patriarch who led the Rong family to rise to the top. Once he said this, the irony in Huo Qi's words was resolved.
"Well, that's natural." The emperor, who was suddenly tickled, nodded in agreement.
Anyone who can research a cure for gene collapse disorder will surely be recorded in human history, and will naturally be able to receive the highest level of ceremony. Moreover, apart from anything else, as long as he can restore his son's health, what does the highest level of ceremony mean to him? Giving her a star field would be no problem.
"In that case, I will act as a middleman to invite the master to the capital on behalf of the empire. But the master is busy, and the outcome is unknown. I can only do my best." Huo Qi curled his lips and said with a smile.
"Your Highness, please do your best. If the master needs anything, please let us know. We will do our best to help. We only hope that the master is willing to come for a gathering." After saying this, Rong Yuhui bowed and returned to his seat.
"So do we."
"Of course, if necessary, I will not be polite to you."
The Second Prince and Patriarch Rong exchanged words, and the turmoil ended harmoniously. The people of the Old Clan were very puzzled by Huo Qi's "handing over the Master." After all, they could only benefit from having the Master in their hands. If they revealed the Master to the public, especially to the old foxes of the New Clan, there was no guarantee they wouldn't take him away. Even if they didn't, the benefits would likely be divided among the New Clan, a thought they found unacceptable.
However, no matter how many doubts and reluctance the old clans had, they could only keep these in their stomachs and not express them at all due to Huo Qi's majesty.
At the end of the banquet, the new and old ministers were all preoccupied with their own thoughts. Huo Qi, the head of the table, had already left, and the eighth prince, being young, also went to rest. Only the Emperor and the third prince, Huo Lie, were left. However, Huo Lie only took a few dishes once in a while, his mind already elsewhere. At the royal banquet, only the Emperor was present, leisurely enjoying the singing, dancing and delicious food.
