Chapter 598: Removing the Gu
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Divine Doctor Xue originally did not intend to come to Wanning City. He brought Liang Xue back to Hu Family Village and found out that the children had all gone to the prefecture capital to participate in the imperial examination. Since there was nothing to do in the village for the time being, he went to the prefecture capital.
After arriving at the prefecture capital, Divine Doctor Xue realized that Qin Huai had actually been poisoned by the Shared Fate Gu. Of course, Wang Wulang and the others did not know anything about Gu. But just hearing their descriptions of his symptoms made the words “Shared Fate Gu” appear in Divine Doctor Xue’s mind.
“Divine Doctor Xue is here in the palace. Hurry up and invite him in!” When Emperor Minghua heard that Divine Doctor Xue was asking to see him outside, he hurriedly invited him in.
To cure the Shared Fate Gu, there were two conditions. One was that the two people who had been poisoned had to be in the same location at the same time. Then, they had to undergo a strange set of acupuncture techniques to cure the Gu poison.
Back then, the Gu poison in Emperor Minghua’s body was personally cured by Divine Doctor Xue.
Unfortunately, after curing the Gu poison, Divine Doctor Xue bade farewell and left. He did not agree to Emperor Minghua’s request to remain as an imperial physician in the palace. Otherwise, Divine Doctor Xue would probably have already become a doctor of the Imperial Hospital.
Although they said that they would invite him in quickly, it was already after lunch when Divine Doctor Xue reached the palace with Liang Xue.
Ah Yu’s people had eaten with Empress Qin, and Emperor Minghua had also shamelessly come over to freeload. Empress Qin blocked the two children from being present and did not chase Emperor Minghua out directly, leaving him some face.
However, Ah Yu had been thinking about Liang Xue the entire time, so she ate in a daze and quickly finished eating. Then, she looked eagerly at the palace door.
“You miss her so much?” Qin Huai had arrived at some point and was sitting beside All Yu, his tone a little disappointed.
Ah Yu: “Big Brother Ah You, what’s wrong? Don’t you miss them? We haven’t seen them in a long time!”
Qin Huai: “No.”
It was not like they were good friends. What was there to miss about?
Qin Huai did not understand why Ah Yu was so enthusiastic about everyone.
Of course, he was only saying that on purpose to tease Ah Yu. During this period of time, he also realized that All Yu was actually not that happy. Perhaps she was worried about his illness.
It was good that someone could make her happy now.
After Divine Doctor Xue arrived, Emperor Minghua pulled him to the side hall to talk.
Ah Yu held Liang Xue’s hand and was extremely happy. “Big Sister Liang Xue, why are you in the palace too? You’ve been out for so long. Did you encounter anything fun? Let me tell you, we went out to play for a few years. It was very interesting—”
Before Liang Xue could speak, Ah Yu started talking. Liang Xue also smiled silently at her and did not speak for a long time.
Ah Yu spoke for a long time. Seeing that Liang Xue was silent, she even touched her cheek. “Big Sister Liang Xue, is there something on my face? Why are you staring at me?”
“It’s nothing. 1 just thought that after not seeing you for so many years, our Ah Yu is still so cute. Other young men will definitely be happy to see you.”
Ah Yu did not quite understand what this sentence meant, but when she heard that it was a praise for her, she accepted it happily.
“You haven’t told me where you’ve been and what happened?” Ah Yu said. “Big Sister Liang Xue, will you go back with us this time?”
Liang Xue said, “No, 1 plan to open a medical clinic in Wanning City. Master has already agreed.”
Liang Xue did not say anything else. During the days she had been traveling outside, Liang Xue’s horizons had long been broadened and she did not care about her original obsession.
Moreover, when she traveled with her master, she encountered a very interesting divine doctor. He was about her age. When that person first heard Divine Doctor Xue’s name, he insisted on competing with him. In the end, he was beaten badly and was in a very sorry state.
Later on, that person followed them for a few months and shamelessly learned a set of acupuncture techniques from their master before leaving happily.
Now that she thought about it, that person had also said that he had a medical clinic in Wanning City.
At the thought of this, Liang Xue’s face turned red, but she quickly returned to her senses and asked All Yu, “Why are you in the palace? I heard that Qin Huai has the Shared Fate Gu in his body. Master said that this is a very powerful Gu. Back then, after he helped dispel the Gu, his body became weak for many years.”
After Divine Doctor Xue helped to remove the Gu, not only was his body weak, he was even plotted against by his enemies in the end and lived in a daze for many years. If not for meeting Old Madam Wang, he might have remained a lunatic and a fool for the rest of his life..
