Princess Medical Doctor

Chapter 78: Incapable ruler and who will take advantage

Yes, Divine Doctor Mo is planning to kill Lin Chujiu. He might have said to Xiao Tianyao that he will help to cure her disease, but it doesn’t mean that he doesn’t have any intention to kill her.

And just like what Su Cha said, with Divine Doctor Mo’s reputation, he could easily find a more powerful man than Xiao Tianyao if he was only looking for someone that can protect his daughter and take her in as a wife.

But still, Divine Doctor Mo had chosen Xiao Tianyao because her daughter loves him. So, as a father, he will naturally fulfill his daughter’s wishes. Divine Doctor Mo wouldn’t tell this to anyone. Other people wouldn’t notice it anyway. After all, in front of those people earlier, his daughter didn’t show any interest to Xiao Tianyao.

*

Before Divine Doctor Mo was invited in Xiao Wangfu. Xiao Tianyao had tried everything to quiet down his enemies from the outside. After they had put a bounty of thousand of silvers in Zhou Si’s head. He hasn’t shown up himself for a week. Anyway, that was understandable because of Jing Chi, the number one ranked assassin had accepted Xiao Tianyao’s request. So, if Zhou Si will show himself, it will be his lost.

As for the Emperor?

The Emperor had tried to assassinate Xiao Tianyao several times now, but he always suffered heavy losses because of Xiao Tianyao’s preparedness. The Emperor wants to quietly kill him, so it’s very impossible.

Why quietly kill him?

Xiao Tianyao has no crime, so if the Emperor will kill him openly. He must face his people’s wrath for killing their country’s hero and brother. Additionally, the Emperor is not sure if he could kill Xiao Tianyao up front. If he failed to kill him, surely, he will be the one to die.

So for now, Xiao Wangfu doesn’t need to worry about the cunning Emperor’s assassination attempt. And it can be said that everything is ready. They only need to wait for Divine Doctor Mo’s miracle treatment.

*

On the third day of their stay in Xiao Wangfu, Divine Doctor Mo brought his daughter to Jin Tian Courtyard where Xiao Tianyao’s treatment will occur. Lin Chujiu also followed after them. Although the shelf inside was full of Divine Doctor Mo’s medicines, once he started his treatment to Xiao Tianyao. These medicines will surely be drastically reduced.

In Jin Tian Courtyard, there were a group of three guardsmen that were guarding every door and every layer of the place to make sure that there were no loopholes. Each guard has their own schedule to ensure that no one is taking advantage of their post and that no one is trying to make a seamless connection outside the mansion.

All the servants inside the Jin Tian Courtyard were old male servants from Xiao Wangfu. And they were personally selected by Housekeeper Cao to ensure that no one will try to contact the outside world and to make sure that the operation will go smoothly.

During the treatment, no one is allowed to come in or to come out, to eat or to drink outside Jin Tian Courtyard. Including Xiao Tianyao himself.

Xiao Wangfu only wants to concentrate on the treatment. So, in order to avoid the Emperor’s sudden imperial edict, they had announced that Divine Doctor Mo’s treatment to Princess Xiao will now start and Prince Xiao will accompany her throughout the whole treatment. And because of that, Xiao Wangfu will put aside all political concerns until the treatment was finished.

By doing this, they did not only avoided the people’s sudden visits, but also the Emperor sudden summon to Xiao Tianyao in the palace. With this, the Emperor also lost his chance to interrupt the treatment or bring trouble to Xiao Wangfu.

When the announcement was made, rumors started spreading again in the whole capital. And this time, Prince Xiao become more popular than before to the Capital ladies because he is willing to avoid political affairs just to stay by his wife’s side.

Although there were a lot of unmarried women that envy Lin Chujiu, they still wish her a good luck. Some of them even wish for her to get well. However, when Lin Wanting heard the rumors about Xiao Tianyao’s “deep affection” to Lin Chujiu. She cannot help but feel sad, then her heart started aching again because of regrets. Why marrying into Xiao Wangfu didn’t come to her mind a bit more early ah?

If she married into the Wangfu, then she will be able to hold Prince Xiao into her palm like a pet. Who cares about the Crown Prince and the Empress anyway? At this moment, Lin Wanting no longer cares about the others. Her eyes can only see Prince Xiao.

The more you can’t have it the more you wanted to get it. Not to mention, Lin Wanting really fell love at first sight to Xiao Tianyao. Lin Wanting almost talk about Xiao Tianyao every day, she even mentions his name in front of the Crown Prince. Thankfully, the Crown Prince was turning a blind eye on it, but still, Lin Furen couldn’t help but get anxious. Lin Furen keep persuading Lin Wanting to stop, but Lin Wanting doesn’t listen. So, Lin Furen doesn’t know what to do anymore.

Unmarried women keep praising Prince Xiao’s unconditional love, but the official men don’t think the same. In their eyes, men could love a beauty but not to the extent of abandoning political duties.

Some crazy scholar student who felt an extreme irritation couldn’t even help but to say: “Fortunately, the first Emperor didn’t let Prince Xiao become the Emperor. If Prince Xiao is the current emperor, and he and his beauty is this happy, then we the crowd will feel much greater bitterness.”

East Country’s scholar students have political rights to verbally attacked government officials. But not to the point where they will mention the emperor’s position. His words are not long, but after that, he was invited by someone to “drink a tea” and then he never appeared again.

This event can be said as intentional plan. Because after that crazy scholar student criticized Xiao Tianyao. Another scholar tried to criticized Xiao Tianyao intensely, but not as straight forward like the crazy scholar student. However, this another scholar criticism is like a curse that’s enough to poke someone’s, heart. After that, rumors with full of mockery to Xiao Tianyao soon spread in the capital.

“Someone intentionally did this!” When Su Cha read the report about Xiao Tianyao, he couldn’t stop himself from slamming his desk in anger. But, he was only a frail scholar, so when he slammed the table. His hand was in so much pain to the point where he couldn’t even hold a pen.

“Young Master, here’s the ointment.” The Clever Servant delivered the ointment on time. Su Cha started spreading the ointment to his hand while whispering on the side: “Is this worthy to report to Tianyao? Tianyao doesn’t worry about his image, so why should I worry? Even if he got worried, he cannot change anything outside at this time.”

“Oh well, Wangye doesn’t need to know.” He will just explain later to Xiao Tianyao.

Jin Tian Courtyard was fully closed, so the news doesn’t reach them. Of course, Su Cha can get in, but he won’t report such thing to Xiao Tianyao because he doesn’t want to increase his worries.

“Young Master, what will we do with this rumors?” The Clever Servant asked.

“Let them make trouble as much as they want, I don’t care as long they will not cause trouble inside the Xiao Wangfu.” The most important thing right now is Xiao Tinayao’s treatment, so Su Cha doesn’t have the energy to waste on them.

“But, if those scholar students continue these rumors and instigated the people’s heart, I’m afraid they might siege the Xiao Wangfu.” They should stop them when they still could.

“Your worry is not unreasonable, but this thing can only be stopped by that man.” Su Cha was referring to the Emperor.

No one had still dared to enter the Xiao Wangfu. But, in just a short period of time, the rumors set off a great disturbance in the whole capital. Su Cha thinks that the current emperor had the ability to stop this, but if only the emperor wants to.

Now, Su Cha can only hope that Divine Doctor Mo’s treatment will be finished earlier. So that Xiao Tianyao can solve this himself, but... ...

Sickness comes like a landslide, but goes slowly like spinning silk (idiom). Not to mention, Xiao Tianyao’s treatment was dragged for too long, so an immediate treatment would be impossible. However, a temporary treatment would be enough.

And who will take advantage of Xiao Tianyao’s disease anyway? The Emperor wants to take Xiao Tianyao’s life, so why would he lend a hand ah?
