Chapter 1298: Facing a Calamity

Prince Anping stared at Mu Yiguan Mu, looking him up and down, his gaze somewhat chilling.

Mu Yiguan Mu couldn't help but suspect that the other party was a charlatan, and a low-class one at that.

After a long while, Prince Anping spat out a sentence: "Your body is not bad!"

Mu Yiguan Mu couldn't help but frown, yet felt a bit smug. He was very good at maintaining his health, so of course his body was not bad.

"There is a calamity coming soon. If not handled well, there will be a disaster of blood. However, if Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen protects you, you will surely be safe and sound."

What the hell?

"You mean, I am about to encounter a calamity."

"Exactly. You can choose not to believe it, but in the end, you will believe my judgment." At this moment, Prince Anping looked every bit the charlatan.

"I work in the Heavenly Prison every day, or I see patients at the clinic; where would a calamity come from? Could it be a patient at the clinic coming to make trouble?" Mu Yiguan Mu pondered.

Prince Anping only said: "I cannot see the specifics. I only see that you have a disaster of blood, but because Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen is here, you will definitely be safe."

"In other words, if Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen is not here, I will die."

"Not necessarily die, but it definitely won't be good. Life and death are on the line." Prince Anping was acting mysterious.

Mu Yiguan Mu felt uneasy.

Regarding Prince Anping's statement, he was half-believing and half-doubting.

Most of the patients received by the Mu family clinic were ordinary people. There were wealthy people, but not many. There were basically no nobles. If there were, he would refuse.

So, where could this calamity come from?

"Could it be the Heavenly Prison? Is there a prisoner riot?"

Prince Anping still shook his head, indicating he didn't know. He was very accurate, but he hadn't studied it systematically, so he could only be considered a half-bucket of water, relying entirely on his own talent.

Logically speaking, since he was so accurate, he should study it and learn it systematically.

However, Prince Anping expressed no interest.

"Since I am so accurate, why do I need to study it systematically? Besides, as a clan prince, if I learned those things, how could the palace tolerate me? I still want to live to a hundred."

A clan prince who can tell fortunes, read feng shui, and even set up feng shui arrays is not a good prince. Being content with one's lot and not messing around with strange things is what makes a good prince.

He didn't want to attract attention from the palace. Because he was so accurate, his life was already difficult. If he went to study it systematically, he would have lost his head long ago.

The Great Qian royal family were not kind-hearted people; they were all scum who ate people without spitting out the bones.

"Don't think so much. The Prince said it himself, with me protecting you, you will be safe." Chen Guanlou took full responsibility. "From today on, after work, I will send you home."

Mu Yiguan Mu asked: "Does the Officer believe him?"

"The Prince is still very accurate." Chen Guanlou only said this much. Being able to see through his inner essence and the fruit of the Dao of Longevity, he certainly believed it.

Prince Anping's constitution, in the cultivation world, would certainly be blessed by heaven. Unfortunately... one cannot cultivate immortality now.

Mu Yiguan Mu understood the implication and realized that Prince Anping must have some real skills. He would definitely have a calamity. He didn't expect the premonition to be so accurate.

For several days in a row, he was terrified. He told his old wife at home, and his wife told him to just ask for leave and not go out.

"That won't do! They said that only by staying by Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen's side can I be safe. Hiding at home might implicate you all."

"Then don't go to the clinic. These years, life has been hard for everyone; many patients who come to see the doctor cannot afford the consultation fee. When the late Emperor was alive, he said life was hard. I didn't expect that after changing to a new Emperor, life would be even harder."

"Shh, you dare to say such things, do you want to die?" Mu Yiguan Mu glared at his old wife, dressed neatly, and went out to work.

The day went smoothly.

After work, he went home, and someone invited him to drink—Imperial Physician Zhou from the Taiyi Academy.

The two were old acquaintances, and their families could be considered family friends.

On this trip out, Mu Yiguan Mu finally knew where the so-called calamity came from.

Prince Anping was truly accurate; he really got it right!

Early the next morning, he found Chen Guanlou with worry. "Officer, my calamity has arrived!"

"What's going on, tell me?" Chen Guanlou saw that Old Mu was intact and uninjured, and felt relieved for the time being.

"An Imperial Concubine in the palace is ill. She has a tumor at the root of her thigh, which has grown to her buttocks; it is said to be as big as a fist. The Taiyi Academy used medicine, but the effect was not good, and the tumor did not shrink."

"So..."

"The Taiyi Academy learned that I cut a tumor a few days ago, so they reported it to the Emperor, asking me to be the lead surgeon to help the Imperial Concubine cut the tumor in the palace. They also asked me to bring my granddaughter to assist. They said Wenxu is too young and inappropriate. But my granddaughter has only handled some ordinary external injuries; regarding cutting tumors, only Wenxu can help me."

"Wait..."

Chen Guanlou listened, and something felt wrong.

"You mean, you have already agreed?"

"Can I not agree? If I don't agree, the next time it will be the Embroidered Uniform Guard coming to invite me. I am timid and dare not deal with the Embroidered Uniform Guard."

"So you mean..."

"This is my calamity! According to the palace's requirements, if only my granddaughter can accompany me into the palace, I am worried that I will run out of energy halfway. Without Wenxu by my side, I am afraid something will go wrong. Doesn't this fulfill the calamity Prince Anping spoke of? He also said life and death are on the line, and sure enough."

Mu Yiguan Mu looked dejected, looking like he was about to die.

Chen Guanlou felt uneasy. "Don't worry, what are you worried about? You said it yourself, Prince Anping is accurate, and he said I can protect you, so I will definitely find a way to protect you. You mean, as long as Wenxu follows you into the palace to assist, you are confident?"

"Whether I am confident or not, I have to check the Imperial Concubine's body myself."

"How about this, you first make a request to the Taiyi Academy: first, enter the palace to check the Imperial Concubine's body, and second, bring your granddaughter and your grandson. Your grandson is responsible for physical strength and has accompanied you in doing a tumor surgery once. Without his help, something might go wrong. Don't worry about whether they agree or not, just report the request first. As for the rest, I will find a way for you. Isn't it just letting Wenxu assist you? This matter is simple."

Chen Guanlou thought of his sworn brother, Eunuch Wang Hai.

If not use Eunuch Wang Hai now, when to use him?

Key figures must be used on the cutting edge.

"I have one more unfeeling request." Mu Yiguan Mu was a bit conflicted.

"Speak!"

"Can the Officer accompany me into the palace on the day of the surgery for the Imperial Concubine? Without the Officer protecting me in the palace, I feel uneasy, fearing that my heart will not be steady and my hands will not be stable."

This is a problem.

High medical skill is important, but mindset is even more important.

Mindset issues cannot be ignored at any time.

Chen Guanlou agreed decisively. "Can! When you make the request, remember to add me. Also, remember to let them clean up a side room and disinfect it thoroughly. Take this opportunity to make more requests and fleece them as much as possible." ===== CHAPTER 1299 =====
