Love is deep but fate is shallow, this beautiful wife has waited for a thousand years

Ruan Haoyu kept looking at the Purple Star in the north and said slowly, "The old man is my master, his name is Zhuo Sheng, and he is known as the Medical Immortal."

The medical immortal Zhuo Sheng is very famous.

Mu Xiaoqiao stood quietly. She felt a little nervous. The fog in her heart should be clearing up soon.

"Everyone in the world only knows about the Medical Immortal Zhuo Sheng, but they don't know that before he became the Medical Immortal, my master was actually a chief physician of the Imperial Hospital, that is, an imperial physician, responsible for the emperor's health care."

Mu Xiaoqiao didn't expect that Zhuo Sheng would actually be the imperial physician. Didn't she hear that he didn't save officials?

As if he had seen through Mu Xiaoqiao's thoughts, Ruan Haoyu said, "My master is the emperor's exclusive imperial physician, so he naturally wouldn't treat ordinary officials. This habit has been preserved to this day."

Mu Xiaoqiao thought about it and it made sense. Everyone has his or her own pride, and maybe this was Zhuo Sheng’s pride.

"After the death of the previous emperor, the new emperor ascended the throne and ordered all those who had served the previous emperor to be buried with him, including my master."

This dynasty still had a system of burying emperors alive with their dead. When an emperor died, his concubines, maids, eunuchs, and even imperial doctors had to be buried with him. It was euphemistically said that going to the afterlife to continue serving the late emperor was the highest honor.

However, those who are about to be buried alive do not think so.

Even ants are greedy for life, let alone humans?

Zhuo Sheng is a man of great medical skills and in his prime, with unfulfilled ambitions. How can he be willing to die like this?

Coincidentally, before she was buried alive with the emperor, the new emperor's favorite concubine, Concubine Li, suddenly fell ill and fell into a coma. All the other doctors in the palace had come to see her, and even the director of the Imperial Hospital was helpless. Someone said, "Zhuo Sheng is a skilled doctor. If he were here, he would definitely be able to cure Concubine Li."

The speaker may not have intended it, but the listener took it to heart. The new emperor immediately sent people to look for Zhuo Sheng, only to find out that he was on the list of people to be buried alive with the emperor.

The new emperor sent someone to bring Zhuo Sheng out of prison and told him that if he could cure Concubine Li, he would be spared from death and his status as a medical doctor would be restored. If he could not cure her, he would not only be buried alive with her but also be tortured to death.

Zhuo Sheng of course tried his best. He was a skilled doctor and after the treatment, Concubine Li woke up, but her body was still weak and she could only rest in bed. Zhuo Sheng said that Concubine Li's illness required acupuncture and medication for a long time before she could slowly recover.

The new emperor originally wanted to wait until he cured Concubine Li before killing him, but under this circumstance he did not dare to kill him, so he had to release him secretly and keep him in the Imperial Hospital specifically for the treatment of Concubine Li.

Soon, Concubine Li became pregnant and gave birth to the new emperor's eldest daughter.

During Concubine Li's pregnancy, Zhuo Sheng helped her to regulate her body and take care of the pregnant woman and the fetus.

In fact, he had a biggest secret that he didn't tell anyone, which was that he could have cured Concubine Li in one go, but because of his selfish desire to survive, he let Concubine Li stay bedridden for five years.

Although he saved his own life, he harmed others, who were the ones who gave him a chance to live, so Zhuo Sheng always felt guilty towards Concubine Li.

Later, a mutiny broke out and the palace was captured. Zhuo Sheng protected Concubine Li and escaped from the palace. The new emperor died. Concubine Li was disheartened. She had been bedridden for many years and felt that life was worse than death. Soon she fell seriously ill and no medicine could cure her.

Before her death, she entrusted her only daughter to Zhuo Sheng, the new emperor's last princess in the history of Wei.

Zhuo Sheng felt guilty towards Concubine Li. He thought that if he had not been so afraid of death and dragged Concubine Li down, she would not have died so soon. So he vowed to protect the little princess throughout her life.

"But unfortunately, one day when the old man went to treat a highly respected martial arts master, the little princess went out to play and her whereabouts have been unknown since then. The old man was furious and set the second rule that martial arts masters would not be saved."

After Ruan Haoyu finished speaking, the surroundings fell into silence.

He almost thought Mu Xiaoqiao had fallen asleep because of what he said. When he looked over, he found that her lips were tightly pursed and her eyes were red. After a long while, she said in a dry voice: "You mean, I am the last princess of the previous dynasty? My mother is Concubine Li?"

Ruan Haoyu nodded, "The royal family of the previous dynasty was surnamed Mu. Mu Xiaoqiao, you are the only remaining bloodline of the Great Wei Kingdom and the only heir to the Mu royal family."

Mu Xiaoqiao's heart was filled with agitation, and she found it hard to accept. The matter that she had been investigating for so long was suddenly revealed in front of her. For a moment, she didn't know how she felt.

All she had in her memory was her mother's gentle voice, but she had forgotten the environment and her mother's appearance.

"How did you find me? And how can you be sure that I am the lost little princess?"

What if I recognized the wrong person? Wouldn’t all my excitement be in vain?

"First, the little princess' maiden name was Mu Xiaoqiao. She was only five years old when she went missing and she only remembered her own name."

"Secondly, the little princess has a butterfly birthmark on her right wrist. It's not something that someone can just impersonate. Once, a man who was injured by you went to the Medical Valley to seek medical treatment. He accidentally mentioned your appearance and this birthmark. The old man took it to heart and immediately asked me to go out of the valley to look for it. It was thanks to you that I had the opportunity to go down the mountain for the first time."

Mu Xiaoqiao stretched out her right hand, and the butterfly birthmark was clearly visible.

"The old man said that he only owed one person in this life, and that was Concubine Li. He told me to keep you alive no matter what the situation was. If you have any requests, you can go to the Medical Immortal Valley to find him. And this..."

Ruan Haoyu took out a white jade token and handed it to her.

"This is the only token of trust recognized by all those who owe a promise to the Medical Immortal Valley. From now on, it belongs to you."

Mu Xiaoqiao opened her eyes wide. She had seen this white jade token in Ruan Haoyu's hand when she was in the Ice Cave. But more importantly, the Medical Immortal Valley had saved countless lives, and these people had promised to obey the Medical Immortal Valley's orders and do something regardless of life or death.

Now this only token is given to her?

Mu Xiaoqiao took it silently. It was pure white and flawless, a fine piece of jade, but it was bought with her mother's life.

"So, Zhuo Sheng indirectly caused the death of my mother, so what he did to me was to atone for his sins so that he could feel at ease?"

Ruan Haoyu was stunned and wanted to defend his old man, but after thinking about it, it seemed that it was indeed true.

"If you understand it this way, that's fine." He said this with some difficulty.

Mu Xiaoqiao quickly threw the white jade token to Ruan Haoyu and said firmly, "I don't want this, but I want to go to the Medical Immortal Valley to find Zhuo Sheng. I want to find out about my mother. He wants to atone his sins, but I won't let him. He killed my mother and lost me. I want him to feel guilty for the rest of his life."

After saying that, she flew up and soon disappeared.

Ruan Haoyu held the white jade token and smiled bitterly. The old man was in trouble this time. He met such a stubborn little girl. It would be difficult to fulfill his wish in this life!

Shaking his head, Ruan Haoyu also left.

The sky is full of stars, and the Purple Star is still shining brightly.
