Chapter 5 | Doubts

The Royal Doctor rushed over from the royal school breathlessly and met Liu Yi at the palace's front gate. When he heard that the Emperor was angry, he couldn't help but feel anxious, and he carefully walked forward. "I have arrived late. Is His Majesty unhappy?"

Liu Yi shook his head, "His Majesty isn't unhappy..." Before the royal doctor could breathe a sigh of relief, Chief Liu went on to say, "His Majesty is very angry. I can't guarantee that if you go in now, you won't be punished."

The royal doctor's heart stilled, he nodded and walked in briskly. The maids in the chamber had been ordered to leave and two figures could vaguely be seen on the dragon bed behind the curtain. The royal doctor approached carefully. "Your Majesty, I was too late when I arrived at the royal school. Please forgive me."

"Royal doctor seems to have become quite old and his legs haven't been working properly. Should I help you remove it?"

Behind the curtain, Qi Xutian's voice was calm and without any ups and downs, holding Qi Mingyue who had stopped bleeding in his arms and was asleep. He caressed his cheeks, the young and tender face was no longer bloody, "Forget it, it would be too unsightly to see you without legs. I'll just make you disappear, then you don't be able to tarnish my sight anymore. What do you say?"

Through the curtain, the royal doctor felt an icy gaze land on him, there was a looming bloodthirsty murderous intent in them. He fell on his knees with a thump, "Please, Your Majesty, forgive this old minister..."

"Father..." Qi Mingyue's soft and childish voice suddenly sounded, laden with drowsiness, "it's so noisy, what's going on?"

At the end of this sentence, the royal doctor felt chills run down his spine and continued to beg for his life. "Your Majesty, the distance between the Royal Hospital and the Royal School is a lot. It is also accurate that I'm getting older, my legs don't function as well as they used to. Please consider my commitment to the palace all these years..."

Qi Mingyue looked at the man holding him, "You are going to kill someone over such a minor thing?"

"A minor thing? I feel very distressed for you. There is so much blood and there is also a wound on the forehead, I don't know when the scar will fade," Qi Xutian said coldly. , "If the royal doctor's legs were more useful, MingEr would have suffered less and I would not feel so distressed for MingEr. It is a serious crime committed by the royal doctor, how can you say this is a small matter?"

"Okay," after listening to his long list of words, Qi Mingyue's head hurt so much that he felt like he was going to faint and fell back on him, "I'm fine, let him go."

The royal doctor kneeling on the ground trembled with fear and did not dare to raise his head. He only heard Qi Xutian say: "Since MingEr wants you to live, then you will live. Still, aren't you going to come and see the wound?!"

Qi Mingyue listened to him say this and helplessly prepared to sit up. He did not intend to argue on this matter any further. Qi Xutian had already held him up and let him lie in his arms for the royal doctor's diagnosis and treatment.

The royal doctor lifted the curtain and saw the Emperor leaning against the side of the bed with his robe loosened, he held the Second Prince in his arms.

Although the Second Prince was pale, he did not look sick and weak. With smooth black hair and eyes squinting lightly, he glanced at him as he lifted the curtain. The royal doctor was swept by that glance, and suddenly he saw a glimpse of His Majesty when he was young. He realized that the Second Prince was so extraordinary, it was no wonder that the Emperor liked him so much. But he didn't dare delay and carefully set aside his hair to reveal his injured forehead and began examining the wound, "His Royal Highness' wound has stopped bleeding, it is a skin injury and there seem to be no major problems. But there is excessive blood loss and since His Royal Highness is young, he needs to be rehabilitated through medicine and nutritional soups, in addition to that, he must consume blood-enriching meals every day. After about three months, he would be back to peak health."
