Wang Qingyao suddenly remembered that the first time she heard about the Green Demon was from Bian Siyue, and Bian Siyue had heard it from her master.
Her eyes lit up. Bian Siyue looked at her sparkling eyes and was slightly stunned.
Something seemed wrong.
Were blind people's eyes like this?
As Bian Siyue was recalling what other blind people she had seen looked like, she heard Wang Qingyao ask in a voice of suppressed excitement, "Where is your master from? Is he from Yunzhou?"
Bian Siyue withdrew her wandering thoughts and pondered, "I don't know if he's from Yunzhou, but my master lived in Yunzhou for a long time. He even bragged to me that legends of him were everywhere in Yunzhou."
Thinking of her master, Bian Siyue couldn't help but show a nostalgic smile.
Wang Qingyao's mind raced, and she asked, "What does your master look like? How old is he?"
"My master said it's rude to casually ask a man's age, so no one in my family knows how old he is. But he always looked like he was in his forties, with a goatee. He had a very ordinary appearance, not at all like a divine doctor. He was very interesting. Other divine doctors were very low-key, but he was different; he often boasted."
Bian Siyue smiled, "It wasn't boasting, everything he said was true. He was extremely confident in his medical skills."
Bian Siyue remembered the days when the Bian family's home was not ransacked, and her parents and brothers were alive. Her nose twitched.
She wiped her eyes and pulled herself together, "Princess, although I've only learned a tiny fraction of my master's skills, I have talent. My master used to say I was a once-in-a-century medical genius. You have to believe me!"
At this moment, Wang Qingyao was certain that Bian Siyue's master was the same divine doctor that Bai Junchun had mentioned.
She chuckled, "I believe you, but I believe your master even more. Why don't we try to find your master? That way, there will be more hope of curing my eyes."
Bian Siyue was taken aback. Finding her master.
"But I don't know where he went. When my family had trouble, he happened to be traveling the world. I don't know if he returned to Duanjing later. My master himself is elusive; even after taking me as a disciple, I don't see him much more than a few times a year."
"Can you draw your master?"
Bian Siyue nodded vigorously, "Of course. Once a master, always a father."
Bian Siyue was very confident.
Wang Qingyao immediately ordered someone to prepare brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. Bian Siyue sat at the desk and drew. After about the time it takes an incense stick to burn, she put down her brush.
"Princess, I'm done."
She didn't show it to Wang Qingyao, as Wang Qingyao couldn't see at the moment.
Wang Qingyao also didn't look, only nodding, "When the Prince returns, I will have him issue an order to find your master."
Thinking of the possibility of seeing her master again, Bian Siyue became a little excited.
After she left, Wang Qingyao asked Yin Zhu to help her walk. Passing by the desk, she casually glanced at Bian Siyue's drawing.
Heh, it was abstract enough. She could only confirm it was a man.
Wang Qingyao sighed helplessly.
In the evening, Xiao Yun returned. Wang Qingyao dismissed everyone and showed him Bian Siyue's drawing.
"Bian Siyue's master is said to be a divine doctor, very famous in Yunzhou. We know about the Green Demon thanks to him. If we can find him and have him create an antidote for the Green Demon, wouldn't that be foolproof?"
Xiao Yun looked at the drawing for a long time, "Why does this divine doctor seem a bit familiar..."
Wang Qingyao was greatly surprised. How could he seem familiar from such a drawing?
"Like whom?"
"I can't recall. It's not the face, but the demeanor."
Wang Qingyao put the drawing away, "Don't think about it. The more you think, the less you'll remember. Just let it go, and perhaps you'll suddenly recall it someday."
Xiao Yun nodded in agreement.
Wang Qingyao then asked about his visit to the palace today.
Xiao Yun was about to tell her about it. Hearing her question, he sighed, "When I went to the palace today, Shun Feng was indeed not serving the Emperor. I told the Emperor about the assassination attempt last night, saying that person was Shun Feng. I saw his face."
"What was the Emperor's reaction?"
"The Emperor was very surprised and very angry."
"I did as you said, knelt on the ground, and cried my eyes out, saying that if the ruler wants a subject to die, the subject must die. If I couldn't die, I should stand up and kill myself. Why go to such lengths to have someone assassinate me!"
Wang Qingyao raised an eyebrow, "I didn't tell you to fake cry with tears and snot."
Xiao Yun chuckled, "The Emperor scolded me furiously. He really almost swore to the heavens. I said if it wasn't the Emperor, then it must be the Empress Dowager."
Wang Qingyao gave him a thumbs-up, truly good at deducing.
"As a result, the Emperor scolded me again, saying I was heartless. How could the Empress Dowager, who treated me so well, send someone to kill me!"
"So I asked the Emperor, if it wasn't the Emperor and not the Empress Dowager, then whose orders was Shun Feng acting upon."
Wang Qingyao's heart also tensed with his words.
Xiao Yun sighed, "Unfortunately, the Emperor didn't fall for it. No matter how I provoked him, he didn't slip up. He only said it wasn't him or the Empress Dowager, and that he would protect me."
Wang Qingyao's heart stirred. Not the Emperor, not the Empress Dowager.
She seemed to know who it was.
