The Demon Queen of Divine Doctor is not to be trifled with

Chapter 782 Unveiling the Emperor’s List

Chapter 782: The Imperial Proclamation

The stall owner who had been cursing could no longer speak. The pain from his broken tongue made him faint after a short while.

Someone said, "Is he dead? People in the Central Plains often say that people bite their tongues to commit suicide, which means that if the tongue is cut off, the person is dead."

Some people also said, "Hurry up and report to the authorities! Don't let those Northern Qi people escape!"

But when he turned around, the people from Northern Qi were nowhere to be seen. They had already run away.

The scene was in chaos. People hurriedly carried the unconscious man to the clinic, and a team of soldiers began to search the city for the three Northern Qi people. Although there was no evidence to prove that the tongue was cut off and the Northern Qi people were involved, Su Yuan blamed those people and said that they were the ones who did it. The soldiers did not ask any questions and focused on catching them.

Ye Wenyan snorted coldly, "How barbaric and ridiculous. Without the Emperor of Northern Qi, can they do whatever they want? Su Yuan, a mere place, how big do you think you are?" She stretched out her hand and gestured forward a few times, then said to Quan Qingfan, "Your Quan family is lucky. You had the Emperor to protect you in the past, and now you have someone like me. Just wait for the territories to be taken back, Su Yuan will be yours sooner or later!"

Quan Qingfan laughed when he heard this, "Okay, our Yaoyao has this ambition, then I, as his elder brother, will just wait and see how Shanhe grows."

Ye Feizhou glared at him fiercely, "Can you please have some shame?"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Ye Wenyan quickly spoke to Ye Feizhou: "Second brother, please help me send those three Northern Qi people away, at least let them leave Xingzhou City safely."

Ye Feizhou snorted at Quan Qingfan, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go right away and bring back the half pound of tea."

After he finished speaking, his body moved, and it seemed as if he had wheels under his feet, and he moved so fast that he left a shadow.

Quan Qingfan opened his mouth and was about to say something back, but before he could say anything, Ye Feizhou disappeared.

He had to admit: "Young Master Ye's Kung Fu is truly amazing. It shows that my third brother really put in a lot of effort, and it was not in vain that he was scolded by my mother for so many years."

Ye Wenyan twitched her lips, and then she remembered that the Fifth Prince and the Third Prince were born to the same mother, and were real brothers from the same father and mother. She felt a little embarrassed when she thought about it. After all, he was a good son and had a chance to compete for the throne. But after being tossed around by her second brother, not only did he lose the throne, but he was also afraid that he would have no hope of having children in the future.

Quan Qingfan looked at her face for a while, and seeing her strange expression, he guessed what she was thinking and couldn't help laughing.

"The most difficult times have passed, let alone now. Ever since the day the Seventh Brother took the throne, all of us running for the throne have lost. From now on, you can just be an idle prince, and it doesn't matter if you have children or not, so no one will care too much about your second brother and my third brother's affairs. Yaoyao, you are you and he is him, you don't have to feel embarrassed for him, and he himself is not embarrassed."

Ye Wenyan touched his nose, laughed dryly twice, and was unwilling to discuss the matter further.

Quan Qingfan also tactfully changed the subject. He asked Ye Wenyan, "Did you lose that half of your tongue?"

Ye Wenyan nodded and said, "I don't like what Su Yuanren says, so why not just stop him from talking."

"Half of my tongue has fallen off. I'm afraid I won't be able to speak for the rest of my life. Will I die?"

"Witch doctors are popular in Suyuan. I heard that there are many witch doctor disciples even among the common people. So if that person can find a good doctor, he should not die. But if there is no decent doctor in Xingzhou City, then he may not survive."

Quan Qingfan nodded, "Yes, I hope he can't find a good doctor. This is only in Suyuan. We must keep a low profile when we enter the city in disguise. If I hear anyone talking like this in Northern Qi, I will tear his head off."

Ye Wenyan glanced at him and said, "Xiao Jiu, you weren't so violent when we first met. You were like a little white rabbit at that time, and you were very cute. Why are you showing your true colors now?"

Quan Qingfan liked to hear her call him Xiao Jiu, so he immediately changed his tone and said to her with a smile: "No, I have always been cute. Maybe because we are wearing Su Yuanren's clothes now, you have a wrong impression of me. In fact, I am still the cute Xiao Jiu. By the way, Yaoyao, are you worried that your second brother is in trouble? Can he do it alone?"

Ye Wenyan laughed, "How could my second brother be in trouble? You underestimate him too much. He can even enter the Northern Qi Palace as if it were no one's home. What a small border town of Suyuan is he."

When she said this, she had undisguised contempt, and her disgust and contempt for the country of Su Yuan was obvious.

Quan Qingfan wanted to say that he also despised this small broken country, which did not follow the right path every day and only did some weird tricks, which was very annoying. But before he could finish his words, he saw a commotion in front of him. A group of imperial soldiers were coming towards this side. When people saw them, they avoided them, fearing that the soldiers would bump into them.

Quan Qingfan also pulled Ye Wenyan to the side. He thought that these soldiers were still having trouble with that half tongue, but he didn't expect that they ignored what happened just now and walked to a wall to post a notice.

The people who had avoided it earlier came forward to take a look, and then they realized that what was posted was not an ordinary notice at all, but an imperial edict.

The imperial edict said that the king was seriously ill, and the divine doctor's prescription included a "phoenix eye", but the witch doctor's office did not have such a thing as phoenix eye, so now it was collected from the people. Whoever could take out the phoenix eye and cure the king's illness would not only be rewarded, but also the whole family would be enfeoffed, given a mansion, and given a salary, and his descendants would be blessed by the royal family.

For a while, people were discussing the issue, and the most common question was: "What exactly is a phoenix eye?"

Quan Qingfan also asked Ye Wenyan: "You are also a miracle doctor, have you heard of phoenix eye?" Ye Wenyan shook his head, "Never heard of it." After thinking about it, he said, "Maybe it is another medicinal herb, but Suyuan and Northern Qi call it differently, so it is unfamiliar to us. As for why the people of Suyuan don't know about it, it's normal. That medicinal herb must be a rare thing, otherwise it is impossible that even the Suyuan witch doctor clan can't take it out, so the people don't know. It's just..."

She frowned, feeling that there was something wrong with the imperial edict, so she casually threw this question to Quan Qingfan.

Quan Qingfan immediately said, "There is indeed a problem! The king is seriously ill, how can such a word be spread casually? If the people know that the king is seriously ill, wouldn't it confuse the people? In my opinion, the old king Su Yuan may be on his deathbed now, and this imperial edict was not posted by him at all. It should be posted by his sons who are waiting to succeed to the throne, to prepare the people psychologically and tell them that Su Yuan will have a new king to succeed to the throne. At the same time, it may also be to test the people's opinions and listen to who they like."

Ye Wenyan nodded, "That's just one of the reasons. You are also a royal family member, so you must think about the problem from the perspective of the overall situation, considering the conspiracy and the princes' fight for the throne. But I am just a little girl, so I think about the problem from a different perspective than you."

"Oh? So what did you think of?"

Ye Wenyan pointed, "Look, the imperial edict mentioned the person who prescribed medicine for the monarch, and the word used was miracle doctor, not witch doctor. But we all know that Suyuan is the world of witch doctors and high priests, and all doctors are from the witch doctor lineage. If you look further, it mentions that the witch doctor's office can't find the medicinal ingredient phoenix eye. What does this mean?" She didn't wait for Quan Qingfan to answer, and said, "It means that the person who treated the emperor and prescribed medicine was not a witch doctor, but an ordinary doctor who came from nowhere. And he is very likely from the Central Plains, because people in the Central Plains are very willing to call those with excellent medical skills miracle doctors."

Quan Qingfan suddenly realized, "Now that you put it that way, it makes sense. Could it be that a doctor from Northern Qi came to Su Yuan? But how did he gain the trust of the royal family? How did he stand out from so many witch doctors?"

No one could guess the answer to this question. Ye Wenyan stood in the crowd, looking at the imperial edict in front of him, without thinking much, and suddenly pushed through the crowd and walked forward. Quan Qingfan was not paying attention, and when he reacted, he saw that Ye Wenyan had torn off the imperial edict, and then said to the officers and soldiers beside him: "I have news about Fengyan."

When the officers and soldiers saw someone uncovering the imperial edict, they immediately surrounded them. Seeing that Ye Wenyan was just a teenage girl, they couldn't help but get angry. "Where did you come from, you little girl? This is an imperial edict, can you just uncover it casually? And you have information about the Phoenix Eye? Even the Witch Doctor Department is helpless with such an important thing, how can you get it out?"

Ye Wenyan was wearing a veil at this time. This kind of veil was the standard for women in Suyuan. Whether married or unmarried, they would like to cover their faces with such a piece when going out. Rich families would also work hard on the veil and add some gemstones to decorate it.

It was precisely because of this veil that it was not so easy for people to tell at a glance that she was not from Suyuan. In addition, she was good-looking, with big eyes and double eyelids, so her Central Plains features were even less obvious.

The soldiers did not see anything wrong with her and tried to take the imperial edict away. One of them kindly reminded her, "Little girl, the imperial edict cannot be taken down casually. If you take it down, you must really take out the things, otherwise it will cost you your life. Since you are young, I will not bother with you. The imperial edict is back, so go home quickly!"

The onlookers also said, "Yes, go home quickly, this is not something you can get involved in."

Ye Wenyan shook his head and said seriously: "I am not joking, I really have information about the Phoenix Eye. Although I cannot provide it for the time being, as long as I provide the information to His Majesty, the Phoenix Eye will definitely be found. My brother, it is important to treat His Majesty's illness. You should send me to Kyoto quickly! One day late will make His Majesty suffer one more day!"
