Kong Gu Zi turned and left, and the little medicine boy naturally followed.
But then came a loud "thud," showing how much force was used.
Shao'an knelt on the snow and kowtowed heavily to Kong Gu Zi. "Senior, I'm so sorry for trampling your snow lotus, but please, I beg you, save my young master!"
Then she lowered her head, her voice choked with emotion, and said, "My young master is named Mo Bai."
Upon hearing this, Kong Gu Zi and the young medicine boy stopped. Even though Kong Gu Zi was detached from worldly affairs, he knew of the rare and renowned ruler throughout history, Mo Bai.
Moreover, no one in the world dares to share the same name as the emperor.
The young apprentice couldn't help but tug at Kong Gu Zi's sleeve. "Master... this..."
Kong Gu Zi naturally understood what he was going to say, and let out a long sigh. "Alright, I agree to come out of the mountains, but only this once."
I originally wanted to find a quiet place to live a secluded life as I got older, but I made an exception.
However, it is a pity that such an emperor died young.
Upon hearing this, Shao'an's body trembled violently. "Thank you, senior! I will never forget your great kindness."
They quickly took Kong Gu Zi away.
Unfortunately, Kong Gu Zi was getting old and couldn't withstand the hardships along the way. By the time the three of them rushed back to Qiu County, Yao Yao wouldn't last much longer.
Yao Yao looked at the sky outside. "Xiao Dezi, Shao An still hasn't returned?"
Looking at his master, who was growing thinner and thinner, Xiao Dezi could not hide his sorrow.
"Not yet, I don't know when he'll be back, Master..."
Then I heard hurried footsteps in the yard, and then the door was pushed open forcefully.
"You brat, are you trying to murder me?! Put me down right now!"
Shao'an, annoyed that Kong Gu Zi was walking too slowly, simply carried him on his shoulder.
Shao'an put Kong Gu Zi down. Kong Gu Zi snorted coldly and looked up. Standing in front of him was a young man with an extraordinary aura but who was obviously weak. This person was Yao Yao.
"Shao'an, what's this?"
"Senior, please take a look at my young master!" As soon as Shao'an said this, Kong Gu Zi naturally understood the identity of the person in front of him: the Emperor Ju Xian, Mo Bai, who had caused a great uproar throughout the world.
His eyes lost some of their usual frivolity, and he became unusually quiet as he took Yao Yao's pulse.
Judging from this, it's obvious that this is the Kong Gu Zi we were looking for not long ago.
The more Kong Gu Zi examined this pulse, the deeper his brows furrowed.
Looking at Shao'an, he said, "May I have a word with you in private?"
Outside the door, someone said, "Hey, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that his pulse is clearly at its weakest point, he doesn't have many days left."
Shao'an looked enlightened. "Impossible...this is impossible...didn't they all say you're a miracle doctor? That you can bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded? You should save him!"
“Eh,” Kong Gu Zi was, after all, a doctor, and he felt a little sorry for him. “Even if we extend his life, what good will it do? He will still be living in pain. For him, death may be the only relief. Besides, I am only better at medicine than ordinary people. How can I have the ability to snatch people from the King of Hell?”
Shao'an entered the house in a daze.
"Cough cough cough cough" Yao Yao has been feeling increasingly weak lately, and judging from the original owner's time of death, it will be tomorrow.
"Shao'an," Yao Yao called out to Shao'an, who looked up blankly.
"Don't waste your energy. I know my body can't hold on much longer."
Living was torture for him.
"Besides, we've been in Qiu County for so long, and we've heard that the local customs and culture here are the best, but we haven't seen them yet. Why don't we go out and take a look? We might not be able to see them again in the future."
"Hmm..." Shao'an forced back the sobs in his voice.
It was sunset, and groups of two or three women walked past the two of them, chatting and laughing.
Under Yao Yao's reforms, she overcame all opposition to establish a girls' school, allowing women to attend school, learn to read and write, and even participate in the imperial examinations for women.
When the girls' school was first established, it was met with skepticism from many until the emergence of its first female top scholar. She completely overshadowed the new top scholar, which allowed the girls' school to gain a foothold.
Nowadays, families with even a little bit of wealth are starting to send their children to school to learn to read.
And this prosperous era was all created by him.
But... Shao'an felt bitter.
The next day, when Xiao Dezi tried to wake Yao Yao up, he found that Yao Yao had already left.
The commotion naturally woke up the others in the courtyard...
