"Father, since the King of the Western Regions wants to play an open conspiracy, why don't we play with him?"
Chu Qingluan's eyes turned slightly, and suddenly she said, "Tomorrow, I will invite the King of the Western Regions to have a chat as a princess, and test him."
The King of Chu looked up at her: "Oh? Why?"
"Just say thank you for taking care of me during the trip. After all, I was able to escape and return to the capital safely thanks to his delegation. It is reasonable for me to express my gratitude."
Emperor Chu hesitated for a moment and nodded slowly, "This is indeed a very good reason."
"But remember not to alert the enemy."
…
On the other hand, after Amur left the palace, the warm smile on his face suddenly faded, and his whole body exuded a low pressure.
Seeing this, the servants behind him all knelt down silently.
Wu Ya was no exception, looking at the tall man in front of her with some trepidation.
In fact, she was not a princess from the Western Regions, but a female doctor from a witch doctor tribe. Because of her beauty, she was chosen by Amur to replace the real Princess Uya and came to Da Chu.
At first, everyone in the tribe thought that Amur had chosen her and wanted to take her back to his tent as a concubine.
But Wuya never expected that what Amur valued was only her medical skills.
"Everyone, back off!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and was about to leave when they heard Amur say, "Wuya, stay!"
Wu Ya's heart tightened, and the others all gave her a look that told her to wish her the best.
When the palace door was closed, Amur turned his back to Uya, and his tall figure cast a heavy shadow on the wall.
"How is the health of the Emperor Chu?" he suddenly asked in a low and dangerous voice.
Wu Ya knelt on the ground and answered truthfully: "Your Majesty, His Majesty the King of Chu has stagnation in the lung meridian and deficiency of both Qi and blood. It should be due to years of overwork and chronic poisoning..."
"Can it be cured?"
Before Wu Ya could finish speaking, Amur interrupted impatiently.
Wu Ya swallowed and said, "If we use the snow lotus from the Western Region as a guide and combine it with acupuncture, it can be cured within three months."
"Cure?" Amur turned around suddenly, staring at Wuya with hawk-like eyes, his tall figure almost covering her.
"Who told you to cure it?"
"Starting tomorrow, go tell the people of the King of Chu that his illness is incurable and can only be treated with your unique secret technique over a long period of time."
Wu Ya raised her head, her eyes full of astonishment: "Your Majesty! This..."
"If the treatment is stopped halfway, the condition will worsen and the patient will die suddenly." Amur said word by word, and raised Wuya's chin with his hand, his tone dangerous.
"Do you understand?"
Wu Ya's face turned pale instantly, and she shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely not allowed. Doctors are kind-hearted, how can they deceive patients like this? If the diagnosis and treatment are delayed because of lies, it will cost lives!"
She is a female doctor from the witch doctor tribe. She was taught by her elders since she was young that "treating illness is like seeing yourself", and she has never thought of using her medical skills to harm others.
Amur sneered and increased the strength in his hands, forcing her to look up.
"Do you think that I asked you to replace Princess Wuya so that you can come to Da Chu and be a living Buddha?"
If I don't hold the emperor in my hands, how can I bring back the person in my heart?
Seeing Wu Ya crying in pain, he released her chin and said quietly, "You just need to do as I say. After you are done, I will allow you to return to the witch doctor tribe and give you a hundred taels of gold so that your people can have food and clothing. If you dare not obey, you should know what I will do!"
Wu Ya was in despair.
Of course she knew how cruel this young king was.
When he killed his own uncle and brother, she had already heard about it in the witch doctor tribe.
"Yes... your servant, obey your command!"
Amur patted her face with satisfaction and said, "Very good. Remember, from today on, you are the real Princess Wuya, the most noble princess in my Western Regions."
He turned and walked to the window, looking in the direction of the palace, a determined gleam flashing in his eyes.
——
In the afternoon, Amur received a note from Chu Qingluan, saying that in order to thank him for his care along the way, a banquet was held in Zuixianlou to entertain Amur.
He looked at the elegant yet graceful handwriting on the post, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
In the private room on the third floor of Zuixian Tower, Chu Qingluan had already been waiting there.
Outside the window is the bustling street scene of the capital, but inside the building it is so quiet that only the sound of the wafting tea fragrance can be heard.
Chu Qingluan was wearing a plain long dress, with a little makeup on, and only a white jade hairpin in her hair, looking elegant and picturesque.
After Amur entered the room, he sat down politely.
Chu Qingluan personally held the pot and poured wine for him.
"Your Majesty, thank you for your care along the way. I'll offer you a toast."
Amur raised his glass, his eyes burning, "Princess, you are too polite. It is my honor to escort you back to the capital."
After three rounds of drinking, Amur put down his cup and said with a smile, "Now that the princess has returned safely, it's time for me to ask for a promise."
Chu Qingluan paused for a moment while holding the teacup, then looked at Amur: "I naturally remember the promise your Majesty made, but I don't know when your Majesty wants to see her?"
"Of course the sooner the better." Amur answered without hesitation.
"This time, I came to Da Chu, not only to congratulate your emperor on his birthday, but most importantly, to see her."
Chu Qingluan put down the teacup and looked at Amur calmly: "Your Majesty is so affectionate, and I am deeply moved. I would like to ask, Your Majesty, in what capacity do you come to see Concubine Jiang of our dynasty?"
When Amur heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, as if he had not expected Chu Qingluan to be so direct.
He pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course, as an old friend."
