These words shocked everyone, and Mu Yazhi's smug expression instantly shattered.
He wasn't a miracle doctor, so how was he able to cure the Empress Dowager?
Doctor Li continued to explain, "I am merely an outsider of the Divine Physician Sect, but the medicine used to treat the Empress Dowager was indeed given to me by the sect's spiritual healer, who is indeed in the capital."
Dr. Li's explanation was nothing short of astonishing.
Feng Guche frowned and asked, "Why didn't that spiritual healer show himself? How did he know about the Empress Dowager's illness and agree to treat her?"
"The spiritual healers of the Divine Physician Sect have always been solitary, wandering between mountains and rivers, not wanting their true identities to be known. They practice medicine with benevolence. Since they know that only he can cure the Empress Dowager's illness, they are naturally willing to lend a helping hand. For the spiritual healers, fame and fortune are meaningless."
“That day, the physician entrusted someone to give me medicine, but I did not know how to enter the palace for treatment. I thought of the night I was suddenly attacked by an assassin, and fortunately Princess Weiyang came to get the medicine and saved my life. So I asked Princess Weiyang to take me into the palace.”
This further confirms that Lu Wei's earlier claim that Mu Chenshuang assassinated Doctor Li and obstructed his treatment of the Empress Dowager was a frame-up.
Lu Wei harbored resentment. She had begged him to treat the Empress Dowager, but he had instead asked Mu Chenshuang to take him to the palace. Resentful, she pressed him, "Doctor Li, why didn't you deny your identity when Ya'er and I came to see you that day? You said you needed time to consider treating the Empress Dowager."
"Because the psychic doctor had given prior instructions, people would misunderstand that I am the psychic doctor. Having the identity of the psychic doctor would also make people believe that I can treat the Empress Dowager. As for what I need to consider, it is true that I am not confident. I cannot guarantee that I can use the medicine and acupuncture properly. Fortunately, the psychic doctor came to teach me for a night, and only then did I dare to enter the palace."
Dr. Li explained calmly and slowly.
Lu Wei and Mu Yazhi's expressions instantly collapsed, especially Mu Yazhi, who was about to reach the summit but fell into the valley and was torn to pieces.
Doctor Li is not a miracle doctor, so what right does she have to receive a reward?
"Since Madam Lu has approached you, why are you unwilling to let her take you into the palace?" Feng Guche pressed.
Doctor Li maintained his bowing posture and nodded, saying, "This is a difficult question for me to answer. I would prefer to ask Princess Weiyang for help, since she saved my life and, being a princess, she is more suitable to take me into the palace."
Dr. Li's words were like a hurricane, slapping the mother and daughter hard across the face, causing them to wince in pain.
After all, to outsiders, the mother and daughter were kind-hearted and gentle. However, Dr. Li, who was not familiar with Mu Chenshuang, was unwilling to believe the mother and daughter and preferred to believe the rumored vicious and domineering Mu Chenshuang.
This was a blatant humiliation for Lu Wei and Mu Yazhi.
"So that's how it is." The Empress suddenly said, "Your Majesty, so it is because the Empress's good fortune has touched the heavens that the miraculous physician happened to be in the capital and was willing to help. Doctor Li, may we invite this miraculous physician? The Empress and Your Majesty would like to thank him in person."
Doctor Li looked at the Empress and replied, "This is probably difficult to handle. The renowned physician has always been reluctant to show his face. I hope Your Majesty and Her Majesty the Empress will understand."
"That's a real pity," Feng Guche said sadly. "Please ask Doctor Li to express his gratitude to this miraculous healer. However, since Doctor Li has helped us today, I will certainly grant any request you may have."
"No, no, it was the skillful physician who saved the Empress Dowager. How could I, a humble commoner, dare to claim credit?"
Doctor Li insisted on refusing, so Feng Guche didn't press the matter further. He wanted to invite him to dine in the palace, but Doctor Li still politely declined.
Now, who would even think about what contributions Lu Wei and Mu Yazhi had made? They have been completely ignored.
Suddenly, Mu Chenshuang said, "Doctor Li, I've noticed that my younger sister has been wearing a veil all the time. I'm afraid she's injured. Could you please take a look and tell me what's wrong?"
These words were spoken.
All eyes were once again focused on Mu Yazhi.
Mu Yazhi was still kneeling on the ground, and the pain in her knees was nothing compared to the panic in her heart. She was already in a daze, and Mu Chenshuang's voice was like a soul-summoning device, disturbing her peace and pushing her to the brink of a nervous breakdown.
She just said that she had an allergic reaction after eating the things that Mu Chenshuang gave her.
Once the pulse diagnosis reveals that the growths on her face were caused by medication, her earlier lie will be exposed.
"yes."
Doctor Li responded and stepped forward. Seeing Doctor Li approach, Mu Yazhi suddenly became agitated and refused, saying, "Go away! I don't want to see! I don't want to see! I'm not sick!"
His wide eyes were filled with tears of terror.
Lu Wei sensed something was wrong and quickly reached out to support Mu Yazhi's shoulders, comforting her, "Ya'er!"
Mu Yazhi's sudden outburst of madness left everyone bewildered and suspicious.
It was just a pulse check, and what's more, it was to check the injury on her face. Her resistance must be suspicious.
Mu Yazhi leaned against Lu Wei, her whole body trembling violently. She had lost all face, and the mask of pretense that was about to be torn off made her hate it to the extreme. She could no longer control her emotions.
Sudden.
Mu Yazhi fainted in Lu Wei's arms.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Ya'er has been unwell recently, and I don't know what has upset her. I hope Your Majesty will allow me to take Ya'er back to the manor to rest."
Feng Guche's face was gloomy. "Madam Lu should go back and properly discipline her daughter."
Lu Wei nodded respectfully and said, "Yes!"
His eyes were filled with intense hatred as he lowered them.
