Quick Travel: Saving the Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Role

A few days later, news suddenly spread that a very powerful doctor had come to Yanjing and settled in a Taoist temple outside the city. Many dignitaries went to the Taoist temple to seek her treatment.

When Li Changhuan heard about this, he first asked someone to investigate this miracle doctor. Knowing that she was indeed quite capable, he wanted to invite her to the palace to treat the empress.

However, three groups of people went there but failed to invite her.

The miracle doctor was accompanied by two guards with high martial arts skills, who could not even defeat the secret guards of the Eastern Palace. Moreover, when asking a doctor to treat a disease, one cannot really kill her people, otherwise, it would not be asking someone to do a favor, but making enemies with her.

After being rejected several times, Li Changhuan decided to go there in person.

The Taoist temple was outside the city, and it would take several hours to ride back and forth on horseback. It was neither close nor far, so it was inconvenient to take Wuyou there, so Li Changhuan left him in the East Palace.

However, what she didn't know was that as soon as she left, the empress sent someone to invite Wuyou over.

When Li Changhuan was around, she could refuse entry even to those sent by the empress, but when she was not there, no one else in the Eastern Palace dared to disobey the imperial edict and could only watch Wuyou being taken away.

Wuyou was very frightened when he heard that the empress summoned him. Soon he saw her in the empress's bedroom. She was an old man lying on the bed in her twilight years. Even though some of the majesty of an emperor could still be seen between her brows, she was already dying.

He knelt and bowed deeply: "Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!"

"Get up." The empress leaned on the couch and coughed a few times. After he got up, she waved to him, "Come closer."

Wuyou walked closer with trepidation, stood in front of her, and lowered his head slightly.

The empress looked him up and down, then said, "He is indeed quite good, worthy of my love."

Wuyou said nothing.

"Are you Prime Minister Xiao's wandering child?"

Wuyou was surprised for a moment, and then he thought of what Li Changhuan had said. After a moment's hesitation, he replied, "No."

"Then are you willing to be Prime Minister Xiao's child?" The Empress pointed out directly: "As long as you become Prime Minister Xiao's legitimate son, I will immediately grant you marriage and make you the legitimate imperial princess. Are you willing?"

As she said this, her eyes were fixed on him.

She knew that he came from a poor family and had suffered a lot. He definitely had some flaws in his character, but they were minor flaws that were harmless. At this time, he should be more decisive and grab what he wanted.

Fortunately, Wuyou didn't think too long before he said firmly: "I am willing!"

"Okay." The empress laughed twice. "I'm not worried about anything else about Huan'er. I'm just worried that she's not interested in men and doesn't want to carry on the royal family's legacy. Since you've caught her eye, I don't mind giving you some special honors. Come, draft the decree!"

A quarter of an hour later, Wuyou walked out of the door holding the imperial edict and was respectfully sent back by the empress's guards.

The housekeeper, Zhen Dan and others were all very frightened, but they were greatly relieved to see him return safely.

Then they learned that His Majesty had issued an edict to allow him to be included in the family tree of the Prime Minister's Mansion, marry out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and become the emperor's princess. Everyone was more surprised than the other.

The Prime Minister's Office also received the imperial edict, and Prime Minister Xiao Yunxiu was not surprised at all.

The empress was about to die, and if she wanted to ask for an imperial decree to save her other daughters' lives, the best way was to please the princess.

Some people may think that she could have left a will, but the achievements of an emperor cannot be judged by himself alone. It must connect the past and the future. Many emperors in history who were revered as gods were able to become so-called perfect emperors because their predecessors laid the foundation and their descendants carried it forward.

She wanted the princess to remember her good deeds after she ascended the throne and to praise her in history books, so she needed to please the princess.

She is the ruler who maintains the status quo, and the princess is the one who has the hope of unifying the world.

Xiao Yunxiu wasn't even sure if Wuyou was her son. But that wasn't important. The legitimate son of the Emperor's daughter, the future empress, was the legitimate son of the Prime Minister's family. That was more important.

As for the other two men in the Prime Minister's Mansion, they had a different plan.

-

Li Changhuan set out in the morning and arrived at the Taoist temple at noon, where he met the legendary miracle doctor.

The miracle doctor treats people, and he certainly doesn't treat common colds and typhoid fever, but rather difficult and complicated diseases. There are many people coming to watch, but only a few can actually get a seat.

Li Changhuan came with her identity this time. The master of the Taoist temple came out to meet her in person, and then took her to see the miracle doctor.

Someone called out the name of the princess, and the surrounding people and officials' relatives all knelt down. However, the miracle doctor sat still and signaled with his eyes to the patient whose pulse he was examining not to move.

"Everyone get up."

Li Changhuan walked forward and stood beside the miracle doctor, quietly waiting for her to finish taking the patient's pulse. He then said to the patient, "You have Yin deficiency. I'll prescribe you a prescription. Drink it for a month. Avoid sexual intercourse within three months, and be moderate after that. It will gradually heal."

The patient was embarrassed to be told this in public, and mumbled, "Okay, thank you, doctor."

The miracle doctor wrote a prescription for her. She carefully put it away, thanked him repeatedly, and left.

"next."

When those people saw the princess beside her, they didn't dare to come forward.

Li Changhuan stood before her, looking down at her. "I would like to invite the miracle doctor to the palace to treat Your Majesty. Why is he unwilling?"

The doctor smiled at her and said, "How can someone seeking medical treatment ask the doctor to come to their door in person?"

"Your Majesty is seriously ill and cannot come here." Li Changhuan looked at the two young women with murderous aura not far away, and then looked at the people who were still boldly watching, wondering whether it would be appropriate to take direct action?

The miracle doctor looked thoughtful.

Then he said to the others, "Today's free clinic ends here. Please go back and come back another day."

Those people looked at each other, and then most of them retreated. Some of them were supporting patients, their faces full of anxiety, not knowing whether to leave or stay.

Li Changhuan said loudly, "Your Majesty is seriously ill. I will bring a miracle doctor to the palace to treat Your Majesty. Tomorrow I will have the imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital provide free medical treatment on Zhuque Street. You all should come early tomorrow."

Those people hesitated for a moment and then left.

When the room was empty, the doctor asked, "When did I agree to go back with you to treat Your Majesty?"

"The miracle doctor, give me a condition." Li Changhuan changed the subject: "Or I'll knock you out and carry you back."

Miracle doctor: “…”

The two servants immediately took an attacking stance, pointing their swords at Li Changhuan.

The people brought by Li Changhuan wanted to take action, but Li Changhuan stopped them.

The doctor smiled and said, "I've heard that the princess is an exceptional martial artist. Why don't you fight me and my two maids? If you win, I'll go with you to the palace to rescue His Majesty. If you lose, it'll be as if I had never been to this Taoist temple today."

Li Changhuan said nothing, drew the long sword from his waist and rushed towards the two men.

She learned a killing move.

The long sword slashed towards one of them, and the man raised his sword to block. The moment the two swords collided, a string of sparks was produced. At the same time, the maid felt a numbness in the palm of her hand, and she was so shocked that she almost let go.
