51 Chapter 51 Treatment for the Unworthy (1/2)
Gong Weixie and Feng Jun Yi finally agreed to each other's condition. ”Lord Gong, Zhen would like you to meet Master Lao. He is zhen's mother in law Yang Hua's master. Zhen knows you recognized the well-known miracle doctor to ask your consent to send one of the guards together with him during the treatment.” Feng Jun Yi said without a change in his expression.
Gong Weixie replied him with a loud laugh. ”Are you saying that you don't trust me your majesty?” He might be laughing but everyone on the room knows that he is offended.
”Trust is a word that doesn't exist in the Jianghu. Zhen is just thinking and acting accordingly since we are at the Jianghu's territory. Zhen knows that Lord Gong understands where I'm coming from.” Feng Jun Yi said without a change in expression. The Jianghu members commend him for his courage and tough heart to be able to calmly converse with the devilish Lord. Specially in his current angry mood.
”That made sense. Your majesty really is a tough one. No wonder your step mother always failed to bring you down. I can see that she is looking down on a mountain thinking that it is just a hill.” Feng Jun Yi didn't reply and Gong Weixie didn't mind it either and just continue. ”Fine. I will allow it. It would be a problem if he is too nervous throughout the treatment and I might end up squashing his old bones.”

Lin Xulian, together with her elder brother Lin Huang followed Gong Weixie and his servants towards his bedchamber for his treatment. He is aware of his sickness and only a few of his subordinates and his women knew about it. He has two subordinates inside the bedchamber to guard him and make sure that the treatment won't end up in a mishap.
”Greetings Lord Gong. His majesty did all the pleasantries earlier but I would like to personally greet you.” Xulian said in the closest to an old man's voice she could muster.
Gong Weixie knitted his brows and look at the small old man up and down. ”Old Master Lao, your voice sounds weird. Like an old lady.”
Hearing his remarks, Xulian wasn't worried but instead disappointed. She was so confident before opening her mouth to speak but Gong Weixie shattered her self-esteem. 'Am I not that convincing enough? I am a great con artist! I could deceive even my family, well aside from big brother Huang.' Because of that, she had a sad expression and said ”Oh that. Young man, you are still considered young. Reaching my age of one hundred and ten, your voice would start to change. I could still remember during my younger years, the women often chased me because of my good looks and deep sultry voice. But now even your bones would start to shrink and your back would bend. When I was young—”
Lin Xulian didn't even have the chance to finish her act when Gong Weixie made her stop. ”Stop! Stop! Or I might lose it and kill you if you don't shut up. Old people sure nags a lot. Let's just start the treatment.”
Lin Xulian placed her fingers in his pulse. She had to put fake wrinkles on her hand because it would be visible outside her robes. But because of it she could find it hard to feel the pulse so it took a bit of a long time. ”I can say that Lord Gong wanted to keep your situation a secret knowing the nature of it. I could also assume that you already knew about it so let's go directly to the treatment. But let me first give you something like a proof that you are cured after the treatment.”
