Chapter 1031

At the very least, if a patient was on the verge of death with only one breath left, he would not be sure of saving them.

Cui Wenzi stroked his beard and said, "Only today do I know how vast the world is and how many experts there are. In the past, Cui Wenzi underestimated the physicians of the world!"

He let out a sigh.

Then he thought of another question.

He hurriedly asked Su Xuan, "Since there is a physician like you in the palace, logically speaking, a mere plague should not be a problem, right? Why did His Majesty the Emperor still post an imperial edict to seek medical help from the common people?"

Lu Su had also contracted the plague, and in terms of symptoms, it was similar to those in the palace.

Since this person could cure Lu Su and was now in the palace, why couldn't he solve the plague in the palace?

Or was it that Lu Su's illness was not cured by him at all?

"A mere plague is indeed not a problem for me. I won't hide it from you, Mr. Cui, I have already cured most of the plague in the palace, except for Imperial Concubine Yushu."

Su Xuan's answer made Cui Wenzi stunned again, "Why is that?"

Cui Wenzi suddenly realized. No wonder he and Yi Xiaochuan didn't see any sign of the plague outbreak after entering the palace; it turned out it had all been cured by this person. Then, another doubt arose.

Why cure everyone, but not Imperial Concubine Yushu? Could it be that her plague was special?

Su Xuan gave the answer, "If I don't leave one patient, how can I have a reason to issue an imperial edict to the common people, and then draw a famous physician like you into the palace～～?"

Cui Wenzi couldn't help but widen his eyes.

He was a smart man; how could he not understand the meaning of Su Xuan's words?

Looking at this situation, the so-called critical illness of Imperial Concubine Yushu was clearly a bait used by the other party to lure him into the palace.

But why was the other party so sure that he would take up the imperial edict and come to the palace?

No, it was also possible that the other party did not know he would come to the palace, but simply used this matter to lure physicians from the common people into the palace. If no one took up the edict, it didn't matter. With the medical skills of the other party who could save even Lu Su, who was on the verge of death, he just needed to cure Imperial Concubine Yushu's illness at the last moment.

Thinking of this, Cui Wenzi suddenly felt like a hunter who had been hunting geese all day only to be blinded by them in the end.

This time, he had fallen for it.

Afterward, he thought of another thing.

That was about Yi Xiaochuan.

He had seen everything that happened between Yi Xiaochuan and Lu Su. Now, Lu Su was not dead, while Yi Xiaochuan was risking his life for another woman to come to this palace.

If Lu Su were to see Yi Xiaochuan, what would happen was self-evident.

At first, as a friend, Cui Wenzi felt a bit worried for Yi Xiaochuan.

But then he thought about it.

People live in this world to be happy and to find some fun, right? Having Yi Xiaochuan's fun to watch, how interesting that was.

He couldn't wait to see what it would be like when Lu Su and Yi Xiaochuan met.

And after all, he also had some complaints in his heart about Yi Xiaochuan changing his affections so quickly.

In the past, he had seen everything Lu Su did for Yi Xiaochuan.

That was why he sighed, "The word 'love' harms people deeply."

He did not know the story between Yi Xiaochuan and Yushu.

But in the short time after Lu Su "died," Yi Xiaochuan forgot Lu Su and fell in love with Yushu; this was truly inappropriate.

He felt that Lu Su's sacrifice was not worth it.

"Mr. Cui, please, His Majesty the Emperor wants to see you!"

While Cui Wenzi was having many thoughts, Su Xuan spoke again indifferently.

Hearing this, Cui Wenzi couldn't help but come back to his senses.

The Emperor actually wanted to see him?

He was just a recluse from the mountains, and wealth and glory were like clouds and smoke to him. If it weren't for Yi Xiaochuan, he wouldn't even have come to the palace. He did not expect the Emperor to be prepared to see him.

But since Su Xuan had already spoken, he had no possibility of refusing.

In the end, he could only follow Su Xuan and Lu Su to another place with an uneasy mood.

On the way, Lu Su took the initiative to leave.

Because of Yi Xiaochuan, her mood was very bad and she was very sad, needing to be quiet for a while.

So in the end, only Su Xuan took Cui Wenzi to the palace where the Emperor was.

In the Zhangtai Palace, a burly middle-aged man sat quietly behind a desk.

When Su Xuan arrived here, the other party put down the files in his hand, called him State Preceptor, and then looked at Cui Wenzi, "｀ 」 This must be Mr. Cui!"

Cui Wenzi did not understand how His Majesty the Emperor knew him, but when meeting His Majesty the Emperor, he still bowed respectfully, "Recluse Cui Wenzi greets His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Mr. Cui, no need for such formalities!"

Seeing Ying Zheng was very polite to Cui Wenzi. According to the heavenly secrets Su Xuan had glimpsed, this Mr. Cui in front of him was a well-deserved strange person who, as a mere mortal, would refine the elixir of immortality in the future.

Even if the main reason he could refine the elixir of immortality was the special nature of the heavenly star.

But being able to use the special nature of the heavenly star to refine an immortality elixir was itself extraordinary.

One must know that in his world, in the ancient (Ma Qianhao) era, with so many immortals and gods, he had never heard of anyone refining an elixir of immortality.

"According to the State Preceptor, Mr. Cui has superb medical skills. From now on, you shall serve as the Imperial Physician of our Great Qin!"

As soon as Seeing Ying Zheng spoke, he directly gave Cui Wenzi a position.

Cui Wenzi subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when he thought that the person in front of him was the First Emperor.

Being afraid of death, he ultimately did not refuse.

Mainly, he was afraid that if he refused His Majesty the Emperor's appointment, His Majesty would be angry and have him killed.

Cui Wenzi knew the principle of "use or execute."

It was just that he did not expect that the person beside him was actually the State Preceptor of Qin.

Earlier, when he arrived here, Seeing Ying Zheng called him State Preceptor. Cui Wenzi thought he had misheard, but now, after hearing Seeing Ying Zheng's words, he finally confirmed it.

"I haven't heard of Qin having a State Preceptor before? Also, until now, I don't seem to know his name…"
