The Dishonest Son and The ‘Ghost’ Doctor Mother – Chapter 80

I Don’t Want Yu Qingluo to Save Someone in Vain

Qi Zhan’s body went still for a second, he quickly moved towards the bed happily and said in a low voice: “Crown… Master, are you awake?”

(TL: 太子 = crown prince, 主子 = Master, Lord. Since he is royalty, a man, young and someone else used 太 to initiate an address then I believe this should be his position in the Liuyun Country.)

“Prepare to return to our country.” The man’s voice was very soft. Although his vitality was still as frail as before, it was difficult for a subordinate to resist this command.

Even if he had just gained consciousness from his state of critical illness, his brain was still as functional as before, he immediately understood what was happening from the place they were in this moment.

Qi Zhan didn’t agree with his decision, but he also understood that their actions had been too big and they happened right at the feet of the emperor. It could be estimated that the news would soon reach the Emperor’s ears and it might create a diplomatic issue.

This time they had originally been looking for the 13th prince, who had left the country for a trip, but they hadn’t expected that they wouldn’t find anywhere in the road until they finally arrived in FengCang’s (TL: name of the country) capital. They contracting such a dangerous disease was even more of an unexpected occurrence. No matter what, they couldn’t stay in here anymore.

Thinking in this way, he instantly nodded: “I’ll immediately tell the others to prepare.”

“Wait.” the complexion of the man laying on the bed was still a bit dark, his mental state wasn’t the best either. He opened his mouth and, with some hesitation, said: “That young lady… forget it, you go and prepare.”

Qi Zhan nodded and turned around to leave the room at once.

The man narrowed his eyes slightly until the back of the other man could no longer be seen. Thinking back to that cold and confident voice that he heard when his consciousness was hazy, he felt that it was a pity that he woke up a step too late and only had the opportunity to catch a glimpse of her back departing.

And even didn’t thank her well.

Shaking his head, the man looked down at the child lying by his side and sighed, full of helplessness: “13th, you’ll be in trouble when we return.”

(TL: It’s normal for brothers and sisters to address each other by the order of birth in big families since they have many children. 13th child of the emperor, in this case, so he can be the ‘ small/little 13th)

Qi Zhan quickly walked in, following him was Jiang Yunsheng who was carrying with him some quality herbs.

Seeing that there were only the two patients inside but he couldn’t see Yu Qingluo, he immediately looked around puzzledly: “Where’s that Miss?”

“She left.” Qi Zhan glanced at him, feeling down. He had just asked Jiang Yunsheng about that Miss identity and how did he get to know her. But it just appears that that the doctor Jiang, who had vowed about her superb medical skills, didn’t even know the Miss’s name nor surname, or even where she lived.

Jiang Yunsheng was taken aback, after putting the medicines on the table, he ran out of the room as quick as possible. But, even after turning the pharmacy upside down, he still couldn’t find Yu Qingluo nor Jin Liuli. He punched his tight immediately. Just how could in such a short time that person completely vanish?

Sigh. Really stupid, he was too stupid. He didn’t even let other people watch that girl with superb skills.

He had just told his master about this and he wanted him to take that girl to him to see her. But who would have thought that, after leaving for a brief moment, he wouldn’t find her when he returned?

Jiang Yunsheng was extremely upset, that girl had such excellent medical skills. Not only did she diagnose a contagious and unmanageable disease, but also formulated countermeasures in such a short time and prescribed the right medicine. Thinking back to her amazing display of skills, he felt an itch in his heart.

Anyone who was really passionate about medicine would be unwilling to let go of such an opportunity to ask others for guidance. But this opportunity had been lost right in front of him.

Jiang Yunsheng was feeling depressed and had no way around this. After searching for a while in the streets, without any success, he anxiously returned to the pharmacy.

As soon as he went back, a man and two women jumped out of the backyard of the pharmacy.

Jin Liuli kept laughing: “This Doctor Jiang is a very interesting character. I thought at first that after he’d taken advantage of the benefits offered by Li Shi (TL: Yu Zuolin’s concubine) and lied to that man, he would be good for nothing. But unexpectedly, he is so passionate about medicine.

Mo Xian glared at her, stroking his forehead weakly: “Miss Yu, we really shouldn’t provoke those royals from Liuyun.”

“Oh, now that I’ve done it, so what?” Yu Qingluo shrugged her shoulders, not caring at all about it. And there was still a token that was given by Qi Zhan hidden in her clothes, so she was feeling satisfied and didn’t care about what she should or should not do.

“…” Mo Xian shed silent tears. Had he known earlier, he would have left this job for Shen Ying. He couldn’t help but feel his heart squeeze strongly.

“It’s getting late. Let’s go back.” Yu Qingluo looked at the sky, it was gradually darkening right now and it would probably be completely dark in half an hour or so.

Yup, in any case, she had finished all the things she had to do and she would be able to see that little guy when she went back, so she felt pretty fulfilled.

Mo Xian stared at her broadminded person, and almost spurted blood. Wiping out the sweat droplets from his forehead, he followed them out helplessly.

In the outer courtyard, the lantern had been hung outside and lit up. Someone was guarding the door for her.

Since knowing that little guy Nannan was the Lord’s son, the servants in the courtyard had all treated the child as if he was their ancestor. In particular, when they heard Nannan’s cute but narcissistic and childish manner of speaking, his popularity increased and their love for him all the more, so they treated him with all the good things they could.

As for the mother of the beloved Nannan, Yu Qingluo’s treatment level had also increased accordingly and everyone around greeted her with smiles on their faces.

And else, Yu Qingluo was originally the person that their Lord had asked them to take good care of. And everyone could see it clearly and understood more or less that Ye Xiudu’s care for Yu Qingluo was exceptional. So their enthusiasm for her had greatly surpassed that they had for Sheng Ying and the other 3 guards.

So, when the trio stepped through the door, Yu Qingluo was immediately surrounded by people, and seeing this, Mo Xian felt a bit disinherited.

It had been all a waste for him to get to know these people, so in the end, they would be even nicer to a woman who had just been to this courtyard for less than 2 days. He was not happy, not happy in the least!

Shen Ying stood aside, looking at the situation with the same feelings in his heart. But he himself was Yu Qingluo’s yes-man, so it didn’t matter that much. After Mo Xian looked over to him, he patted him on the shoulder and smiled: “The Lord has been looking for you.”

Mo Xian immediately let go of his depressed expression and, after nodding at his colleague, he turned to leave in the direction of the study.

Wen Tian and Peng Ying, who had recovered from a serious illness were already sitting inside of the study. Seeing him arrive, they only nodded slightly, then looked away again.

Ye Xiudu sat behind a desk and the panther who had been following him by his feet could no longer be seen at the moment. His fingers tapped rhythmically over the tabletop, the sound was entrancing but it couldn’t be used to determine his mood at the moment.

Mo Xian was a bit nervous and immediately reported what transpired earlier with Yu Qingluo to Ye Xiudu, including her treating those royals from Liuyun.

Ye Xiudu finished listening to it and chuckled: “Forget it, she has her own sense of measure. Moreover, even if she really got noticed by Liuyun’s royal family, that wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing for us. If she can cure then just cure it.”

Mo Xian and the others stared back at him. ‘ Lord, you are being way too indulgent towards Miss Yu, can’t you see it?’

“Wen Tian.” Ye Xiudu didn’t worry about this matter in the least, but turned his head and ordered the person sitting to his left: “Send someone to secretly follow those people from Liuyun and make sure they get out safely from the capital.”

“Does the Lord believes that they will be leaving tonight?”

Ye Xiudu nodded: “They made such a loud clamour in the pharmacy’s medical hall. There are many eyes staring in the capital, if we can see through their identities, then so can them. I’m afraid that they should have left by now. You go and stare at them, don’t let Yu Qingluo’s rescue be in vain.”

Wen Tian’s lips twitched, after nodding, he left the study. But he couldn’t help but complain in his mind. ‘Lord, I’m the admirer of the Ghost Doctor, not you.’

However, the moment he opened the door of the study he saw Shen Ying coming from outside and they almost ran into each other. The two hurriedly got on their feet and, before Wen Tian had the time to scold him, Shen Ying quickly said to Ye Xiudu inside: “Lord, someone came from the palace.”
