Chapter 502: Chapter 502: Divine Doctor Xu is Dead_1

By the time Wei Ruo and Wei Jinyi returned to the Capital City, it was already the end of July.

Xiu Fengyuan had almost fully recovered from his injuries, except his reattached arm, which still required a long period of rehabilitation before it could move freely. The rest of his body had essentially fully recovered.

After the scabs had fallen off of Lu Yuhong’s wounds, they began to apply the Scar Removal Cream that Wei Ruo had given them, making the scars on their bodies very shallow.

The original shallow scars were now completely invisible, and the deeper scars had significantly faded. Given time, they too would leave no trace, just like the other wounds.

Qi Zhen had also awakened, but his recovery was not at all comparable to Xiu Fengyuan and Lu Yuhong’s.

Not only was his leg broken and he couldn’t walk, but the large areas of burn wounds on his body were still horrific. The post-healing skin was pitted and twisted, like old tree roots coiled around his body.

Qi Zhen, who was always confident of his appearance, could not stand the way he looked now.

He not only confined himself in his room but also broke everything in the house.

Qi Yansong was helpless about this. The main culprit, Liang Dong was dead, and his family had all died before him. Qi Yansong wanted to avenge his son but couldn’t find anyone.

However, if it was just this, it would be manageable. But Fengyuan and Yuhong, who were injured along with his son, had already recovered remarkably.

This was unacceptable to Qi Zhen and Qi Yansong.

So, when he learned that King Rui and his wife were returning to the Capital City today, he sent someone to wait at the city gate early in the morning.

As soon as the people from King Rui Residence returned, he would enter the palace to request an imperial decree, asking the emperor to order Divine Doctor Xiu to come to his palace to heal his son, Zhen.

“Master, Master…”

The butler Qi Yansong had sent out hurriedly ran over.

“What’s the matter with you that you’re in such a hurry?”

“King Rui and Queen Rui are back!”

“Prepare the palanquin, I am going to enter the palace.” Qi Yansong rose from his Taishi Chair, preparing to leave.

“Master! That Divine Doctor Xiu is gone!”

“What do you mean, gone?”

“That is… he is… dead…” the Butler answered tremblingly.

Qi Yansong sat down heavily and after a while asked, “What happened?! How could Dr. Xiu be gone out of the blue?”

“Unfortunately, while King Rui and Queen Rui were on their journey back to the Capital, they ran into an ambush. Dr. Xiu was killed!”

“An ambush? That’s King Rui and Queen Rui! They are the most cherished by the current emperor! Who would be so bold to plot against them?!”

“This… this is beyond me.”

“So were King Rui and Queen Rui hurt?”

“No, both of them were unscathed.”

“Neither King Rui nor Queen Rui was injured, but it was the accompanying doctor who got killed?”

“Yes…Yes…”

“Huh.” Qi Yansong let out a sarcastic laugh, he did not believe that it was just a sheer coincidence.
