When the Emperor came to Qingyao's stall, Xiaoyi and Qingyao knew at the first moment that the middle-aged man wearing a human skin mask was the Emperor.
The Emperor pretended to be a seriously ill man, coughing continuously, and asked in a fake manner: "Doctor, am I dying?"
Qingyao and Xiaoyi rolled their eyes at the Emperor in their hearts. This man was truly an acting genius. No matter how Qingyao complained in her heart, she still smiled slightly and said, "Please take your hand out."
Upon hearing this, the Emperor obediently stretched out his hand. Qingyao knew from taking his pulse that there were a lot of poisons in the Emperor's body, including the sterile drug and other poisons. There were no less than three kinds of poisons in this man, and all of these three poisons were extremely overbearing. However, no one expected that these three poisons would combine with each other. Although the toxins were suppressed, the Emperor would still fall ill and suffer terribly every full moon night.
Qingyao knew how serious the emperor's injuries were after taking his pulse, and she couldn't help but look at him with some sympathy.
When the Emperor saw Qingyao's eyes, he felt that the masked doctor in front of him seemed to sympathize with him, which made the Emperor's face instantly unhappy. When the secret guards around him saw the Emperor's face change, they were all ready to take action.
At this time, Qingyao said, "Sir, please come to the tent next to me. I want to ask you something."
The Emperor made a slight gesture, and all his secret guards hid again. Qingyao naturally knew what was going on. Seeing the Emperor's gesture, she didn't care. She stood up and walked to the tent next to her. The Emperor followed her in.
Qingyao asked the emperor to sit down and then asked him some questions. At first, the emperor was indifferent until Qingyao asked him whether he would suffer heart-wrenching pain every full moon night, and would go crazy and bloodthirsty and get excited when he saw blood.
The Emperor then looked at Qingyao with a serious face filled with murderous intent. Qingyao pretended not to notice the murderous intent and sullen expression in the Emperor's eyes and continued to ask, "I just took your pulse and found out that someone has given you a drug that will kill you, is that correct?"
The murderous intent in the emperor's eyes could no longer be hidden. He smiled and stretched out his hand to strangle Qingyao's neck. When Qingyao saw the emperor rushing towards her, she immediately stepped back cautiously, and the emperor's hand missed.
He looked at the masked man in front of him, whose gender was unknown, and knew that his kung fu was not weak.
But the Emperor did not intend to let this person leave alive after knowing his illness, so he attacked Qingyao again. Qingyao countered his moves, which made the Emperor even more surprised and a little terrified.
He discovered that the person in front of him, regardless of gender, was actually better at martial arts than himself. This reminded him of the woman he had met half a month ago, that peerless beauty.
He has always wanted to tear off Qingyao's mask, but Qingyao would never give him the chance.
While dealing with the Emperor's attacks, Qing Yao casually said, "Rest assured, sir. Since you've come to me for treatment, you trust me. Since I can diagnose your illnesses and poisons, I naturally have the corresponding antidotes. How about a deal? I'll cure all your illnesses, and you'll pay me accordingly."
Upon hearing this, the Emperor stopped his attack. Then, his face darkened as he looked at Qingyao unhappily. He asked in a low voice, "What reward do you want? If you dare to ask for too much, I will make sure you die without a burial place!"
Qingyao smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, my friend. The reward I want is not gold or silver, but a promise."
The Emperor frowned and asked, "What promise?"
Qingyao said nonchalantly, "Let's discuss this promise again after the guest recovers."
The Emperor pondered for a moment and said, "If you can truly cure me, as long as it doesn't violate moral standards, I can give you this promise. But if you dare to lie to me, do you know the consequences?"
Qingyao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely do it."
Qing Yao then continued, "These poisons can't be cured in a day or two. They'll require a month of acupuncture and medicinal baths to completely cure them. So during this month, I need you to come to my home every day. I'll perform acupuncture and then prescribe the medicine for you. You can go home and soak in the medicinal bath for half an hour."
The Emperor nodded upon hearing this, bowing his head slightly to indicate understanding. He then asked, "Doctor, where should I find you? Could you please leave your name and address?"
Hearing this, Qingyao looked up at the Emperor and said, "I will tell you my address later. You just need to come to my house at midnight every night." This was also what Qingyao had thought of from the beginning. She needed this month to conquer the Emperor's heart. As long as she got close to the Emperor's heart, it would be easy to win him over.
Upon hearing this, Xiaoyi asked, "Grandfather, you wear this mask every day, can you take him down?"
Qingyao said, "Who told you that I'd be wearing a mask when he comes for treatment later? I'm not planning on playing guessing games with him. Let's just go for it. If that doesn't work, I'll just force myself on him. I don't believe I can't win over a man."
Xiao Yi's face turned black when he heard this, and then he said, "Then what's the address you gave him?"
Qingyao said, "There's a farm in the suburbs. We just need to arrive there before the Emperor at that time."
Xiao Yi heard this and said, "Aren't you afraid that he will find out about you?"
Qingyao said, "If he finds out about me, you won't have to exist anymore."
Xiao Yi was immediately shocked when he heard this and said, "Grandfather, don't worry, I will never let him find out about you."
Then Qingyao sat in front of the stall and wrote down her own address in the suburbs to the Emperor. After receiving the note, the Emperor returned to the palace.
After returning to the palace, he became more and more angry the more he thought about that person who didn't know whether it was a man or a woman. Humph, he then showed a bloodthirsty smile and thought: Let's wait and see, there will be some fun in the next month.
