Chapter 440 - Seeking Cure from the Pavilion of Herbs (2/2)

Moreover, Lin Mengya was so perfect. While she was full of antics, behind all this, she was exceptionally mature and magnanimous.

If such a woman were to have any disability, would it not be the world’s greatest regret?

Therefore, he intended to heal Lin Mengya’s right arm no matter what.

“I think it looks very pretty too. Please thank Prince Yun on my behalf.”

In reality, Lin Mengya had accepted the situation. Although they did not breathe a word about it, she knew that although the crossbow arrow did not hurt her bone, her nerves would have been impacted when the arrow was being drawn out of her.

As a result, she could not exert strength on that arm at all.

Nevertheless, this was not the worst situation. At least she had survived and was this not the best thing?

“Oh yes, I’ve actually come to discuss something with you today.”

After a moment of hesitation, Zuo Qiuyu glanced at Lin Mengya’s right arm and decidedly told her what he tried to keep to himself earlier on.

“There’s no harm revealing this to me,” said Lin Mengya.

Long Tianyu could tell from his expression that what he was going to say had to do with Lin Mengya’s right arm.

To be honest, Qiu Yu could be considered to be a highly skillful physician.

If even he was at a loss at what to do, Lin Mengya’s recovery seemed so hopeless.

If there really was a way for her arm to recover, even if there was only a tiny chance of success, he would be willing to give it a try.

“Actually, I’m not going to hide this from you anymore. The reason the Nation of Lintian was able to stand strong was not only because of its favorable geographical factors. What is even more critical is a place called the Pavilion of Herbs. Within this Pavilion of Herbs is a gathering of tip-top physicians from all nations. In my opinion, they may have a way to help my cousin sister recover completely.”

She would be lying if she said she was not upset. Who would want to become paralyzed for the rest of his or her life?

Nevertheless, Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu had more or less guessed it.

The Pavilion of Herbs must be difficult to access.

Otherwise, why would Zuo Qiuyu rather visit the various famous physicians but not suggest seeking treatment from the Pavilion of Herbs at the beginning?

“Just speak your mind. There’s nothing to worry about.”

Lin Mengya paused for a while before she pretended to speak in a casual tone.

Everyone would have their reasons and difficulties. As much as possible, she did not want to create trouble for Zuo Qiuyu.

However, at this moment, she desperately wished to learn more about the Pavilion of Herbs.

“We need to give this matter further thought, because…”

Zuo Qiuyu braced himself to speak out about the difficulties he was facing.

Before he could do that, an authoritative voice interrupted him and said what he had wanted to say.

“This is because to engage the service of the Pavilion of Herbs, the subject needs to be either blood relations with the royal family or the pupils of the physicians in the Pavilion of Herbs. Apart from such conditions, it would be near impossible to engage them.”

Zuo Qiuchen seemed to have rushed here after the court adjourned.

Compared to how he usually dressed as a nobleman, today, he was wearing a crown and clad in a royal yellow imperial robe embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon. Finally, he was exuberating the air of an emperor of a nation.

The expression on his face neither betrayed joy nor sorrow. It was as if he had seen through all the things on earth.

The pride of being able to sit on the imperial throne which made him despise everything below him made him somewhat similar to Long Tianyu.

Both of them were extremely excellent men. Although they differed in their characters, they appear to belong to the same category when standing side by side with each other.

Long Tianyu might be stationed in another’s territory at the moment, but he was neither supercilious nor obsequious.

Moreover, Zuo Qiuchen admired him greatly. In fact, Zuo Qiuchen had even exempted him from certain etiquette.

He was probably the only person within the boundaries of the Nation of Lintian who had been bestowed such great honor.

Perhaps it was due to the appreciation and empathy they had for their kind.

“My cousin sister is our blood relation after all. Moreover, my aunt used to be the only disciple of the first elder of the Pavilion of Herbs. On this ground, they have to treat cousin sister.”

Zuo Qiuyu was determined to have Lin Mengya treated in the Pavilion of Herbs.

It was not because Zuo Qiuchen did not desire so, but rather, he was able to see things more clearly and understand certain circumstances more completely.

“You are excused.”

“Yes.”

The guards who were standing around left the room quietly.

The atmosphere became a little awkward. Lin Mengya was about to say something but realized that she did not know how to begin.

She must have made a correct assumption.

“Don’t you make trouble! Our aunt being the disciple of the first elder had been a well-kept secret in the royal family for decades! If this secret were to leak out, do you know how much trouble it would bring on our cousin sister?”

Zuo Qiuchen rebuked his younger brother as he gave him a severe look.

Zuo Qiuyu immediately realized his mistake, but he still tried to put on a front.

However, knowing that he was at fault, he could only try to protest through the look in his eyes.

Nevertheless, Lin Mengya, being exceptionally intelligent, could make an educated guess from their conversation.

If her mother, Zuo Shuqing, was the eldest princess of the Nation of Lintian and the secret disciple of the first elder, then the reason for keeping that secret was apparent.
