The sister-in-law was wrong, please forgive her, my black-bellied brother-in-law

So before Qiao Xi could speak, Ren Qingzhou answered for her:

"Father, Junior Sister's wound is very deep this time, and it's unlikely that there will be no scar.

And the wound was very long, almost covering the entire cheek."

"so serious!"

Ren Xuanyong widened his eyes in shock, staring at Qiao Xi's injured cheek for a while, then pursed his lips and continued,

"There are two doctors in the palace who are good at treating knife wounds."

Having said this, he raised his hand without turning his head, and saw a eunuch bowing and stepping forward.

"Li Chengen, go to the Imperial Hospital immediately and bring Cheng Hegui and Yan Jingxing."

Li Chengen has served Ren Xuanyong for many years and knows every detail of the current emperor's affairs.

When he heard that the two imperial physicians were to be called, he was startled.

You must know that these two are the emperor's exclusive imperial physicians. In the Nine Palaces, they are only responsible for treating the emperor. Only in special circumstances will the emperor order them to treat some meritorious ministers.

Now the emperor actually asked those two to treat a married woman. It seems that this woman is no ordinary person.

"Yes, I'll go right away."

Li Chengen took the order and left. When passing by Qiao Xi, he bowed slightly and nodded politely before leaving Shujing Palace.

Out of politeness, Qiao Xi nodded in return.

She didn't know that Li Chengen's small action caused two people in the hall to frown.

Ruan Yunheng clenched her hands in her sleeves until her long nails pricked her palms, and then she let go.

When Ren Qingzhou heard the names of the two imperial physicians, he was stunned for a moment, and then he figured out the key.

His good father still had doubts.

In that case, let him see it for himself.

Li Chengen is someone close to the emperor, and everyone in Jiuque knows him.

So when he got things done, there was no resistance at all.

After a while, everyone in Shujing Palace saw him leading two imperial doctors carrying medicine boxes into the hall.

Just looking at their medicine boxes, they were made of the finest wood. Most importantly, the surface of the boxes was shiny and covered with a layer of oil paste.

This was caused by prolonged rubbing with the hands. The two doctors seemed relatively young, so I guess these two medicine boxes were for family use.

From this, we can infer that their medical skills should not be underestimated.

Qiao Xi couldn't help but secretly feel fortunate that she didn't take the medicine she developed before coming here, but just applied some medicine on her face.

They first paid their respects to the current ruler, Ren Xuanyong, and then one of them stepped forward, holding a medicine pillow and was about to take Ren Xuanyong's pulse.

Ren Xuanyong waved his hand, raised his eyelids slightly, and said slowly:

"I want you to come here, not to treat me, but to treat her."

She? Which she?

Cheng Hegui and Yan Jingxing looked at each other, and both saw doubt in each other's eyes.

This time, without Ren Xuanyong's instructions, Li Chengen walked up to the two of them, made a gesture of invitation with one hand, and said politely:

"Doctor Yan, Doctor Cheng, the Emperor wants you to examine this woman."

Li Chengen wanted to call her Madam Qiao Xi, but after hesitating for a moment, he finally didn't say that.

When Yan Jingxing and Cheng Hegui saw the person they were going to treat, they buried their confusion in their hearts and began to treat Qiao Xi according to the treatment procedures.

Cheng Hegui is good at taking pulses, while Yan Jingxing is good at treating external injuries.

The two people had a clear division of labor, one took the pulse, and the other carefully untied the white bandage on Qiao Xi's face.

As the white cloth was untied, before it was completely untied, one could see with the naked eye that the white cloth inside was stained with blood.

This is stained by the blood that seeped out after the wound was sutured.

When the white cloth was completely removed from Qiao Xi's cheek, bursts of gasps were heard in Shujing Palace.

Except for the parties involved, Ren Qingzhou and Li Wen, everyone else remained calm.

There was a long, hideous centipede lying on Qiao Xi's once flawless face.

The centipede is dark red in color with a very thin white line running from its head to its feet.

It makes the centipede look even uglier, and people who see it can't help but stay away from it.

As a doctor, Yan Jingxing had treated many patients before entering the Nine Palaces.

After entering Jiuque, although he became the emperor's personal physician, he also treated generals who had been on the battlefield for a long time.

Generals have to fight bravely on the battlefield, and getting injured is common. Sometimes the injuries are so serious that you can even see the bones covered by flesh.

But he never thought those wounds were scary. But today, looking at the dark red centipede on Qiao Xi's face, he felt very scary and disgusted.

So much so that when he just untied the white cloth, he let out a low cry.

Ren Xuanyong, who was sitting at the top seat, narrowed his eyes unconsciously and thought to himself:

I didn’t expect that Xu Qiao’s injury was real.

"Yan Jingxing, will the wound on her face leave a scar after it heals?"

This is the only thing Ren Xuanyong cares about now.

Hearing the emperor's question, Yan Jingxing quickly put down the white cloth in his hand, collected his thoughts, stood up and saluted Ren Xuanyong, and then carefully replied:

"Your Majesty, the wound is too deep, so it will definitely leave a scar. However, the scar should be slightly lighter than it is now."

"Oh!"

Ren Xuanyong tapped the table lightly with his knuckles, making a regular knocking sound.

The knocking sound was neither loud nor soft, but very powerful. It could reach the heart through the ears, one sound after another, as if knocking on everyone's heart.

Everyone held their breath and looked at Ren Xuanyong, not daring to make any move.

Cheng Hegui was checking Qiao Xi's pulse when he suddenly wiped her forehead with his left hand, and his palm was wet.

He took a deep breath, released his right hand from taking Ren Xuanyong's pulse, and bowed respectfully:

"Your Majesty, this woman," he paused, "has only suffered minor injuries and is not seriously injured."

"Cheng Hegui, look at her face. Is there any chance of her recovering to normal?"

Hearing this, Cheng Hegui nodded, turned around again to face Qiao Xi, stared at her face and began to examine it carefully.

After a while, everyone heard his answer, which was almost the same as Yan Jingxing's.

Ren Xuanyong showed no abnormality in his expression in response to their answers, but a careful person could still see some clues.

The light in his eyes at this moment was much dimmer than before.

His eyes were not fixed on Qiao Xi.

Seeing Ren Xuanyong like this, Concubine Ruan Yunheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Father, may I take my junior sister away?"

Ren Qingzhou respectfully asked for instructions.

"Junior Sister? She is also a disciple of the Xiao family? Under whose name?"

Ren Xuanyong usually cares more about national affairs, or his favorite concubines in the harem will take up some of his time.

Therefore, not much attention was paid to the royal children.

But fortunately, he still knew a little about what his princes and princesses were doing.

When he heard about the Xiao family just now, he remembered that his third son was a disciple of the Xiao family.

"Reporting to the Emperor, my little sister has become a disciple of my uncle-master, Xiao Yushan."

"That means her master is Xiao Yushan, the legendary doctor of Tianle Country."

"Exactly!"

"I remember that Divine Doctor Xiao was an exceptional doctor, and it seemed that no one in the entire Tianle Kingdom could match his skill.

As his disciple, could he stand by and watch his apprentice get disfigured?"

"Well, Father, to be honest, my uncle said a few days ago that he had something to deal with and would have to leave Baidi City for a few days.

Until now, he has not returned. So it is still unknown whether the uncle can heal the little sister's face.

Unknown?

Everyone gave a negative answer to the question about the scars on her face. It seemed that most of them were incurable.

But what a pity for such a beauty!

Ren Xuanyong felt sorry for a long time, then waved to Ren Qingzhou, indicating that he could take his people away.

Qiao Xi followed Ren Qingzhou to the outside of Shujing Palace. After taking only two steps, she suddenly heard a voice coming from inside the palace, which immediately made her stop.

"My beloved, the Grand Tutor has been on leave these past few days due to illness. Do you know why he is feeling unwell?"
