"So, I wish to ask you to enter the palace to treat my father, the Emperor. At least try to see what kind of illness it is. If the Emperor continues to be in a coma like this, the court will surely be unstable, and trouble will arise."
The imperial physicians in the palace had been diagnosing for a long time but could not figure out the cause of the illness. The news had already been suppressed, but this matter could not be hidden for long. If the Emperor did not show himself for a long time, it would surely arouse speculation among the people.
Once some harbored disloyal intentions, there would undoubtedly be a bloody storm in the court.
After much thought, he realized that perhaps only Feng Jin in the entire capital could save his father.
"This… His Majesty's condition is naturally being treated by the imperial physicians. I am merely a village doctor and dare not tamper with His Majesty's dragon body. Prince Jing, please seek someone else with greater skill." kuAiδugg
What a mess. If something were to truly happen to the Emperor, she would surely be held accountable. She quite liked her head and preferred to stay safe and sound.
She did not want to take such a risk; it was better not to go. This task was not easy to undertake.
"Even if I beg you, no one else can do this but you…"
Chu Chenyi's tone was very humble. No matter what, he had to find a way to get Feng Jin into the palace today. Besides Feng Jin, no one else could diagnose his father.
"No, this is absolutely not possible. I will not go."
Feng Jin refused Chu Chenyi without a second thought. This was truly not a good job, and she really did not want to go.
"You… you are just going to watch and not help the dying?"
"I am not watching and not helping the dying, but I am helpless. The imperial physicians in the palace are all world-renowned doctors. If they have no solution, what can I do? I am merely a barefoot doctor from the countryside, with shallow medical skills and truly incapable of taking on such a responsibility. Prince Jing, please seek someone else with greater skill."
Feng Jin said these words, wishing she could debase herself to the dust, fearing only that this task would fall upon her.
"You… you are simply…" Chu Chenyi was anxious, and being angered by Feng Jin, he was speechless.
After a pause, Chu Chenyi's gaze fell on Lin Yuwei beside him: "Don't you know to help persuade her? I asked you to come precisely so you could say a few words."
"I think Sister Feng Jin is quite right. If this were me, I wouldn't go into the palace with you either. Do not do unto others what you would not have them do unto you. Don't you understand this, and you still have to force Sister Feng Jin to go!"
She did not want to come with Chu Chenyi in the first place. If she hadn't been forced to the point where she had no other choice, she wouldn't have come with him.
If she were asked to persuade Sister Feng Jin, she wouldn't know what to say and truly couldn't offer any words of comfort.
Putting herself in Feng Jin's shoes, if this happened to her today, she would also refuse without hesitation. Since she herself found it unacceptable, how could she have the nerve to persuade Sister Feng Jin to accept? These words truly couldn't be spoken.
She didn't know how Chu Chenyi could have such thick skin, saying such shameless words without even a change in his expression. It was truly admirable.
"You… you want to anger me to death!"
Chu Chenyi's voice even trembled. He had brought Lin Yuwei here precisely because he wanted her to say a few words, to have some effect.
Now, it was as if she had defected at the last minute, catching him completely off guard, and he didn't know how to deal with it.
He didn't know where Ling Mohan was hiding. He had been here for so long, and he hadn't received any news from him. He didn't know why he hadn't come to take a look. The situation was so dire, yet he was still recuperating at home.
"Right, Ling Mohan… I have a couple of words I want to say to him."
"His injuries have not yet healed, and he is recuperating and should not be seen. Anything you have to say, you can tell me, and it will be the same."
Feng Jin directly refused Chu Chenyi. She naturally knew what Chu Chenyi was scheming; wasn't he just trying to get Ling Mohan to persuade her together?
She wasn't a fool, so why would she give Chu Chenyi this opportunity? Naturally, she wouldn't let him see Ling Mohan.
"If you have nothing else, please leave. My manor has many things to attend to."
Feng Jin directly began to send them away. After speaking, she stood up and walked outside, instructing Cai Qing to see them out.
"Why don't we leave? The Emperor's illness is being looked after by the imperial physicians in the palace."
Lin Yuwei quietly said to Chu Chenyi, whose expression was not good after being refused entry. There was no point in staying any longer.
She had known from the beginning whether Sister Feng Jin would agree. When they came, she had already made it clear to him. He just wouldn't believe her and stubbornly dragged her on this trip. Now, he should finally give up.
"No, we can't just leave like this."
"What else do you want to do? Sister Feng Jin has already made herself clear. Just stop bothering her."
She was utterly speechless towards Chu Chenyi. She had never seen such a person; he was simply not thinking straight and insisted on doing such foolish things.
He couldn't possibly stay here forever, could he? Did she have to stay and accompany him?
"It's none of your business. You can either return to your manor or stay here for now."
As soon as his words fell, Chu Chenyi walked outside directly. No matter how Lin Yuwei called out behind him, she couldn't stop his forward steps.
She was truly exasperated with him. He was so stubborn, insisting on hitting his head against the same tree. Lin Yuwei stomped her feet impatiently.
How did she feel like she had boarded a pirate ship? At this moment, she didn't know whether to leave or stay.
After much hesitation, Lin Yuwei still decided to stay and wait for Chu Chenyi. In case she left, and Chu Chenyi, right after, went mad and looked for her again, it would be trouble again.
Chu Chenyi groped his way to the courtyard where Ling Mohan was staying, based on his memory. He directly flipped over the wall and then agilely jumped down.
After all, he was a dignified prince, yet he was now engaged in the business of climbing over walls to enter houses. If this were to spread, his reputation would be completely ruined.
He sneakily found the room where Ling Mohan was staying and felt for the door.
After a moment's pause, the tightly locked door was immediately opened from the inside. Ling Mohan, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, appeared before him.
"Why are you here?"
Ling Mohan looked at Chu Chenyi, who had appeared, with slight surprise. Why had he shown up at this time?
"I finally found you. If you're so capable, why don't you hide underground?"
