1676 Divine Doctor (2/2)
He did not know until now that he carried that much weight in Ao Chun'er's heart.
Initially, Chen Xiaobei was getting ready to show himself out of the door. He was not about to stay and help people who did not want or appreciate his help.
But like the saying 'a true gentleman will sacrifice his life for a friend who understands him' – Ao Liancheng and Ao Chun'er were willing to swear on their own lives for Chen Xiaobei – therefore Chen Xiaobei too, was willing to humble himself and help them this once.
”Da Wangye, please allow me to say a few words. It's not too late to make a decision.” Chen Xiaobei stepped forward and looked at the emperor's Qi. ”His majesty's sickness is in the heart. The illness is caused by some strange poison that had entered the blood! This poison inhibits the Blood Qi's circulation. If I'm not mistaken, his majesty's pulse and breathing are so weak that it's almost non-existent!”
”How… How do you know these things…”
Not only was Da Wangye stupefied but everyone in the room was as well.
Chen Xiaobei's diagnosis was on spot on.
”Brother Liancheng, did you tell these things to Childe Chen?” Ao Chun'er asked.
Da Wangye spoke before Ao Liancheng could answer. ”Ao Liangcheng didn't tell him anything! He had been cultivating in seclusion before this. When he came out, he had to prepare for the Saint Duke's martial arts competition! To prevent him from being distracted, I gave orders that no one was allowed to tell him about his majesty's illness!”
Ao Chun'er's beautiful eyes widened in delight. ”That means Childe Chen's diagnosis of grandfather's condition was all based on his own medical knowledge! Which means that Childe Chen really is a divine doctor!”
”Divine doctor! Childe Chen is a divine doctor for sure!” Da Wangye nodded. ”Those people outside spent months to determine the cause of his majesty's illness! But all it took was one look for Childe Chen to do that! He did not even have to check his majesty's pulse! If he's not a divine doctor, then I don't know what he is!
The members of the royal family were all pleasantly surprised by this revelation.
If Chen Xiaobei truly was a divine doctor, the people of Neptune could then be saved!
”Childe Chen!” Da Wangye walked up to Chen Xiaobei and gave him a deep bow.
”Please forgive me for judging you by your appearance! I was blindsided! I, hereby, would like to apologize to you!” Da Wangye maintained his bowing position. ”Childe Chen, I'm deeply embarrassed by myself! But please, for the sake of the millions of citizens of Neptune Starfield, help us save our holy emperor!”
The other members of the royal family bowed to Chen Xiaobei as well, asking, ”Childe Chen! Please save our holy emperor!”
”Alright! Let's put that all that behind us! Please get up!” Chen Xiaobei said as he walked towards the holy emperor's bedside. ”I will now begin treating his majesty. Everyone, please vacate the room. Leave only two to three people to follow my instructions!”
”I will stay! Just tell me whatever you need!”
Da Wangye stepped forward, unwilling to pass on his responsibility to others.
”I'll stay too!” Ao Liancheng said.
”Me too!” Ao Chun'er cried.
When the rest of the people had left the room, Chen Xiaobei began the treatment.
