Chapter 162: Hearing About Master Ji, the Divine Doctor, Once Again

Now that the new emperor had just ascended to the throne, although the overall situation in the court was settled, many matters were still unresolved, and what the new emperor's faction needed was naturally to stabilize as soon as possible.

As one of the forces under the new emperor, Xie Yuan should not have provoked Prince Bei so forcefully.

Sure enough, as soon as the man finished speaking, Prince Bei's face turned completely dark.

He wasn't a fool; if Miss Su was unwell, she wouldn't be running into the restaurant.

The few Dongrong servants by his side glared at Xie Yuan with even more anger.

"Presumptuous! How dare you lie to Prince Bei!"

Xie Yuan's gaze grew colder. Although he didn't move from where he stood, his aura suppressed the few servants, making them feel somewhat lacking in presence. His hand took over Jin'er's position pushing the wheelchair, and he looked down at Su Youyue.

"I naturally know the condition of my fiancée's body."

After hearing him say this, Su Youyue blinked and couldn't help but turn around to give the man a coquettish glare.

His words sounded so strange. If someone didn't know better, they would think he was talking about something else...

Receiving her gaze, the man merely curled his lips slightly.

Su Youyue took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to scold him, and had no choice but to nod in agreement: "Yes, Prince Bei, it's true that I'm not feeling well today. After coming out, I felt very dizzy, so I specifically wanted to come to the restaurant to drink a bowl of nourishing soup."

Seeing the two of them playing good cop, bad cop, Prince Bei's anger grew even more intense. He beckoned behind him, and a man with hair hanging on his shoulders and wearing a deep red and blue headband stepped forward from behind him.

"This is the imperial physician of Dongrong who came with me from Dongrong. Let him take a look at Miss."

Su Youyue almost spat blood, having forgotten this detail. How could a nobleman from Dongrong on an embassy not bring their own doctor?

Now that it was a prestigious prince traveling, the doctor he brought would naturally be skilled.

She was about to think of an excuse to refuse when she saw Prince Bei, as if remembering something, turn his eyes: "Miss Su, the imperial physician I've brought might be able to treat your leg."

The few girls behind Su Youyue were stunned for a moment before their eyes sparkled with hope.

This imperial physician from Dongrong should not be inferior to those from Great Sheng. Perhaps he really could treat it...

However, Su Youyue had long given up hope for these legs. She opened her mouth lightly, about to say no, but unexpectedly, Xie Yuan spoke again beside her: "Then we'll trouble Your Highness."

Su Youyue never expected that after he had subtly hinted for her to play along with him earlier, he would now be the first to change his stance.

If she agreed, there was no way she could avoid this meal today.

Prince Bei, however, nodded smugly: "Then let's proceed."

With the matter settled, Su Youyue could only turn back and frown fiercely at Xie Yuan.

But the man's eyes no longer held the light-heartedness they had in their private moments. They were heavy, as if pondering something deeply.

Inside the private room, the oddly dressed doctor first took Su Youyue's pulse and then reported: "Miss Su doesn't seem to have any symptoms of dizziness."

Su Youyue's face showed a hint of embarrassment. Of course, she had no symptoms of dizziness; it was all to deceive others.

So she said softly: "I did feel a bit dizzy before I came, but I feel much better after talking for a while."

Fortunately, the doctor didn't ask further. Nodding, he asked a few questions about her leg, such as when it was injured and whether both the tendons and bones were hurt or just one.

After asking, he actually reached out to touch Su Youyue's leg, seemingly wanting to see what the situation was.

But unexpectedly, Xie Yuan and Prince Bei spoke simultaneously: "Wait."

Everyone in the room couldn't help but look at the two of them.

A murky current flashed through Xie Yuan's eyes, and he didn't rush to speak again.

Instead, Prince Bei frowned and said: "Miss Su is a young lady, how can you touch her directly!"

The doctor's eyes showed some helplessness, but he quickly withdrew his hand.

In truth, to properly treat a leg ailment, it wasn't just a matter of touching it; it would likely require Miss Su to remove her skirt as well.

But how many young ladies could accept such a thing?

The customs between men and women in Great Sheng were already considered open-minded, and Dongrong was even more so. But even so, the women of Dongrong couldn't accept it, let alone the young ladies of Great Sheng.

So he could only step back: "Your Highness, Miss Su's leg has been injured for too long. Even if I use all my strength, it will be difficult to cure it."

After he finished speaking, Su Youyue's eyes showed no surprise.

She had heard such words countless times.

In the end, these doctors could only say they couldn't treat it and then leave.

The two maids and Xiao Feiyan behind her all showed disappointment upon hearing this.

At this moment, however, Xie Yuan asked: "What about Master Ji, the divine doctor of your country? Could he treat it?"

When the name Master Ji, the divine doctor, came out, not only did this doctor raise his head, but even Prince Bei and the few servants behind him raised their heads.

"If we could really find Master Ji, he could certainly treat Miss Su's leg ailment!"

The doctor said decisively.

His tone was so firm that it made Su Youyue pause in surprise.

And Prince Bei suddenly broke into a smile: "That's right, how could I forget? If Master Ji is here, he can definitely treat Miss Su! Miss Su, wait a moment, I'll write a letter to my brother, asking him to find Master Ji and send him to Great Sheng to treat your leg!"

"Dr. Ji, the divine physician?" Spring Bud, recognizing the title, couldn't help but recall, whispering to Jin'er, "Isn't this the one Xiao Zi Chu mentioned?"

Jin'er also remembered, nodding repeatedly. She thought that if even the Prince and the physicians of Dongrong Kingdom held Dr. Ji in such high esteem, perhaps he truly possessed miraculous healing abilities!

She looked at Su Youyue with eager eyes, wishing she would agree immediately.

If her Miss could walk and run like she did in her childhood, Jin'er would willingly trade ten years of her life! No, twenty years would be fine too!

Seeing the looks on everyone's faces in the room, Su Youyue hesitated for a moment before reluctantly nodding, "If it can be so, I would be deeply grateful to the Prince."

Regardless of their original intentions for wanting to help heal her legs, there was no doubt that they all wished for her recovery.

Faced with these gazes, it was difficult for her to refuse...

Upon her agreement, everyone in the room seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Xie Yuan looked at her intently, his gaze slowly sweeping over her legs, as if remembering something from the past, his eyes growing increasingly profound.

Since she had asked for assistance, there was no reason to refuse further, so Su Youyue stayed behind to accompany Prince Bei for the meal.

However, after Xie Yuan wheeled her to a corner of the table, he casually lifted his robe and sat directly in the path she would have taken out, effectively blocking Prince Bei, who was about to rush over, from reaching them.
