Chapter 232 King Ji Invites Her to the Southern Zhao Capital to See a Patient

The King of Ji’s legs went weak with fear upon hearing Leng Ruo Li’s words.

"Heavens! Then is my wife still alive?" the King of Ji exclaimed.

He had heard of the method of caesarean section a few months prior. In the capital of Tianwu Kingdom, there was a "Veiled Divine Doctor" who had successfully saved General Su Xun’s wife, who was suffering from difficult labor, by using this method.

However, after this incident, the "Veiled Divine Doctor" had never appeared in the capital of Tianwu Kingdom again, and no one knew where she had gone.

Since then, there had been no further news of caesarean sections being performed elsewhere.

He did not believe he was lucky enough to encounter that "Veiled Divine Doctor."

Seeing the man’s disbelief, Leng Ruo Li replied again, "Your wife and your two children are safe!"

"Then let me in to see her alive with my own eyes, and I will believe your words," the King of Ji said sternly.

"You may, but to prevent your wife from bacterial infection and to help the wound heal faster, only you can enter. Everyone else must wait outside."

As Leng Ruo Li spoke, she made way for the King of Ji to enter the room and see his wife.

Following her, the King of Ji strode in and went to his wife's bedside.

He saw the pale woman on the bed, and his chest ached.

"Yingying, Yingying," the King of Ji called out her given name softly.

He had expected the woman on the bed to not respond, but to his surprise, she slowly opened her eyes upon hearing the King of Ji’s voice. Seeing his familiar face, her heart instantly felt more at ease.

Then, she raised her hand and touched her belly. Discovering that her stomach had shrunk, she immediately showed a panicked expression, "Your Highness, where are our children?"

"The children, where are the children?"

Upon hearing his wife's words, the King of Ji remembered the twins his wife had given birth to. He turned around, searching for the children everywhere.

"Your Highness, your children are here."

Seeing the couple searching for the children, Leng Ruo Li pushed the cradle containing the infants towards them.

The King and Queen of Ji looked at the strange little cart Leng Ruo Li had pushed over with great curiosity.

"Miss, what kind of cart is this? Can you push two children around in it?" the King of Ji immediately asked curiously.

"This is a baby stroller. It actually functions the same as a regular cradle, but it has a benefit: it has wheels at the bottom. We can put the children in the cart and gently push it around, freeing our hands. It's very convenient," Leng Ruo Li explained simply.

Actually, Leng Ruo Li had not intended to take out the baby stroller from her spatial supermarket for them to use. But as she had just emerged from her space, she happened to overhear Jun Mo Han calling this man the King of Ji. Therefore, she wanted to do them a favor by giving them a stroller.

When the King of Ji looked at the strange little cart, he immediately stood up and, full of curiosity, took the cart and pushed it around the room for a while, constantly marveling at its clever design and reluctant to let go.

Afterward, Leng Ruo Li left the room after giving the King of Ji instructions on post-caesarean care, leaving the space for the King and Queen of Ji.

However, as soon as she walked into the room, she saw Jun Mo Han and Chu Ming Xuan looking at her with admiration.

Jun Mo Han: "Ruo Li, you are truly outstanding."

Chu Ming Xuan: "Consort, I truly admire you."

Leng Ruo Li looked at the two of them speechlessly.

"I'm hungry. I'm going downstairs to eat now," Leng Ruo Li said, turning and heading downstairs.

Halfway through their meal, the King of Ji came downstairs and sat at their table.

"Consort Leng, I need to confirm something with you," the King of Ji asked with a smile.

Leng Ruo Li nodded, "Ask away."

"Were you the 'Veiled Divine Doctor' who performed a caesarean section on General Su Xun’s wife in the capital of Tianwu Kingdom a few months ago?" the King of Ji asked, glancing at Leng Ruo Li with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Leng Ruo Li raised an eyebrow. Her peerless eyes were as bright as the Milky Way and as radiant as the stars.

After a few seconds of thought, she said, "Yes, King of Ji, it is this consort."

Hearing Leng Ruo Li personally admit to being the "Veiled Divine Doctor," the King of Ji was immensely excited.

"Consort Leng, could you accompany us to the capital of Nanzhao to see a patient for me?"

"I'm sorry, King of Ji, we have other important matters to attend to, and I cannot agree to your request at the moment," Leng Ruo Li said with a faint, gentle smile.

"It's alright. You can still help me see that patient later, after you've finished your business. If your matters require my assistance, I would be very happy to help you," the King of Ji said readily.

"No need for help. How about you tell me about the patient's condition first? I can understand his situation and see if I can help," Leng Ruo Li said with a smile.

"He is a relative of mine who often experiences chest pain. I have sought out many renowned doctors in the world, but none have been able to cure this ailment. I wonder if Consort Leng can treat this illness?" the King of Ji asked her with great anticipation.

"I need to examine him to know his condition. I cannot make a judgment rashly at this moment," Leng Ruo Li replied truthfully.

"Is that so!" The King of Ji felt a bit disappointed upon hearing this.

However, he soon thought about it carefully and felt that Leng Ruo Li was right. It was extremely irresponsible to the patient to make a rash judgment about their condition without knowing the true situation.

At this moment, Chu Ming Xuan, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, "Your Highness King of Ji, the patient you are referring to is your maternal uncle, Shangguan Yi, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, the King of Ji paused slightly.

"Sir, how do you know about my uncle's affairs?" the King of Ji asked curiously.

"Several years ago, I accompanied my master to the capital of Nanzhao to see your uncle. His condition, specifically concerning his heart, is indeed difficult to treat," Chu Ming Xuan said with a hint of regret.

"Alas, I know it is difficult to treat, but I am still unwilling to give up. My consort and I have been out for three months. The first objective was to find our eldest son, who has been missing for four years. The second objective was to go to Mount Huoyan, located at the border of Nanzhao and Xiyu, to pick the Fire Spirit Ganoderma,"

"I heard that the Fire Spirit Ganoderma has miraculous effects in treating heart conditions, so I intended to secretly bring people to Mount Huoyan to pick it and bring it back to the capital to cure my uncle. However, I did not expect that after I left, my heavily pregnant consort would follow me out. Now, my wife and I have been staying here for three months, but we haven't found our son, nor have we harvested the Fire Spirit Ganoderma. Now that my consort has given birth here, we can only return."
