Amazing Pastoral World: Unparalleled Medical Queen

What kind of girl is she?

His Highness seems to care very much about her.

………………

Chenwang Mansion in Pingzhou.

"This... this prescription is real? How is this possible?" Qu Wei stared with her beautiful almond eyes wide open, still not believing it.

"How can it not be true? Many patients who have taken the medicine are slowly getting better. Everyone is vying to spread the merits of the person who developed this prescription!" King Chen's face was not looking good. He slammed the prescription on the table and said angrily, "Wei Er, didn't you say that no one in the world could develop this prescription except you?"

Qu Wei looked at the prescription carefully, her face becoming increasingly stiff.

She had studied medicine for many years and was proficient in medicine. How could she not understand the value of this prescription? It was precisely because she understood the subtlety of this prescription that she felt even more embarrassed.

This prescription was like a slap in the face.

As conceited as she was before, she is now as embarrassed.

"Godfather, who developed this?"

"I heard that it was a peasant girl named Lu Ke'er." King Chen's face was gloomy. "Now, people everywhere are praising her merits and comparing her to a savior fairy. Wei'er, if you developed this prescription, then the credit would go to you, which would be of great benefit to this king's cause. Unfortunately..."

It's a pity that someone got there first.

Qu Wei's face became even uglier.

"Godfather, what kind of person is this Lu Ke'er?"

No one has ever been able to surpass her in medical skills.

The sudden appearance of Lu Ke'er made her feel like a thorn in her side.

"Not very clear. I heard that she hasn't reached marriage age yet." Prince Chen replied.

Qu Wei was shocked.

So young, younger than her.

Qu Wei is sixteen this year. Even her master said that she is a rare genius for her medical accomplishments at her age. But now, someone has surpassed her.

How could she be willing to do so?

"Don't worry, godfather. Wei'er is very interested in this person. I must go and meet her."

King Chen raised his eyebrows and thought of a plan: "Alright. If this girl can be used by me, that would be the best. If not..."

A cold light flashed in Qu Wei's eyes, and she lowered her head and said, "Wei'er understands."

The staff member glanced at Prince Chen cautiously, with a conflicted look on his face: "Your Majesty, His Majesty has sent a third imperial edict, urging Your Majesty to come to the capital. Your Majesty, please read..."

"Reply to father and tell him that I am infected with the disease and cannot return to the capital." Prince Chen shook his sleeves, looking angry.

Qu Wei frowned slightly: "Father, it's not a good idea to keep dragging it out like this. If it causes His Majesty's dissatisfaction, he will directly accuse the prince of deceiving the emperor and disobeying the order. What should we do?"

"I am the legitimate son, but he abolished the legitimate son and enthroned a concubine. I have long been dissatisfied!" Prince Chen said angrily, "My father only has that father and son in his heart. What am I in his eyes? He summoned me to the capital this time with ill intentions. If I return to the capital as ordered, I will be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth. It will be difficult for me to accomplish anything!"

"What foster father said makes sense." Qu Wei sighed, very regretful, "Wei'er really feels sorry for foster father. Foster father is a man of great talent and has the appearance of a king. Just because of your majesty's favoritism, foster father had to hand over the world to others. The crown prince is not even twenty years old, but he is already the crown prince. Isn't he relying on your majesty's favoritism and favor? In Wei'er's opinion, if there is no your majesty's favor, what else does the crown prince have?"

Upon hearing this, Prince Chen felt a sense of depression in his heart that he had no way to relieve.

He swung his sleeves and swept a cup of tea on the table to the ground. The cup fell to the ground with a crisp sound, and the fragments flew everywhere.

"That's right. It's because of my father's partiality that I, a legitimate son, will have to bow down to my illegitimate nephew in the future! Why?!" he roared loudly.

The staff was so frightened that their faces turned pale and they stood aside, not daring to move.

Qu Wei's eyes flashed with a fierce light, but her face was full of sadness and heartache. She looked at Prince Chen and comforted him softly, "Foster father, you must take care of yourself. The ministers in the court must understand that if it weren't for your majesty's favor, the position of crown prince would never have fallen to the lineage of Prince Jing. Fortunately, God has a good eye. The crown prince is in poor health, and I don't know if he can hold on until he succeeds to the throne."

"When Ye Feng was born, the imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital said that he would not live long. But, hasn't he lived well for the past seventeen years?" When it comes to this, Prince Chen is very upset. "How can this kid be so lucky? He was poisoned in the womb and was born with the poison, but he didn't die. Over the years, he couldn't be killed by poison or assassination. He is simply an indestructible bug!"

The staff member hung his head low, not daring to breathe.

Qu Wei raised her head and smiled faintly: "Although the Crown Prince is the son of the emperor, he is still a mortal body. His body has been eroded by various toxins and is already riddled with holes. He is about to run out of energy. Foster father, Wei'er thinks that in time, the Crown Prince will not be a concern. Even if he can survive, he can only rely on Your Majesty. Without Your Majesty's support, he is just a young boy, and he is nothing, right?"

King Chen met her gaze, and his heart skipped a beat: "Weier, what do you mean?"

Qu Wei looked directly at Prince Chen, and something seemed to flow in her eyes: "Adoptive father, you should know better than anyone else, right? If it weren't for Your Majesty, what would Prince Jing and his son have to compare with you, Adoptive Father?"

King Chen's heart was pounding.

He was breathing rapidly, his eyes were wide open, and his chest was heaving violently.

An evil thought suddenly arose from the deepest part of his heart, lingering in his mind, and could not be shaken off.

What if...what if the father is gone? What will happen to his good brother Ye Wenhan and his son?

Will the civil and military officials really support them?

After all, Ye Wenyan was the prince born to the empress, and he was the legitimate son and heir to the throne of Qi State.

He had always wanted to build up his own power, looking for every opportunity to assassinate King Jing and his son, clearing obstacles for the future and paving the way for his smooth ascension to the throne. But now it seems that he actually has a faster way to go.

Why would he go so far?

Qu Wei sneered in her heart.

This is the love of the heavenly family.

In the face of power, father and son, brothers... as long as they are obstacles on the road to the pinnacle of power, they can all be abandoned.

Qu Wei lowered her head slightly, hiding the sarcasm and disdain in her eyes.

She knew that King Chen had been seduced by her. She had planted the seeds of sin in the ravine of King Chen's desire, and when the time was right, it would take root and sprout.

Ma Dani lay in bed coughing violently. In just a few days, she had become pale and thin, and her spirit was weak. Soon, the bedding and the lapels were stained with blood.

"Mother, mother..." Jin Feng's eyes were filled with tears, but she didn't dare to go forward. She stood a few feet away from the bed and called her.

"Feng,...go...go find..." Ma Dani said with difficulty.
