He was still a bit bewildered.
He was momentarily lost in a fog.
But soon Lu Hao calmed down.
It wasn't surprising that his master could heal his face!
It would have been surprising if she couldn't!
"Yes, it's her. A divine physician healed her. How can there be someone whose medical skills far surpass yours in this world? Lu Hao, are you truly the Holy Hand Divine Physician?" Zhan Ming's words then made him doubt Lu Hao again.
But Lu Hao wasn't flustered.
Times had changed. The Holy Hand Divine Physician wasn't someone else, it was his master. What was there to be afraid of!
As long as his master didn't expose him, he would still be the Holy Hand Divine Physician!
"Of course, I am the Holy Hand Divine Physician. If the Regent has any doubts, he can stop all medication now and let this divine physician come. The world is vast, and there are many divine physicians. It's not surprising for someone whose medical skills far surpass mine," Lu Hao replied grandly.
His tone also carried a hint of arrogance and displeasure.
If Zhan Ming knew that the one who could heal his disfigured face was the true Holy Hand Divine Physician, and that the one who healed her was his master, he might be so shocked he'd vomit blood.
Zhan Ming narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Lu Hao.
His peripheral vision caught sight of his darkened palm.
"As for the Regent's physical condition, it doesn't matter if the medication is stopped now. The hidden ailment is already seven or eight parts healed," Lu Hao added.
He had seen some of it when he took his pulse just now.
Zhan Ming should be able to impregnate a woman now, but even if a woman could get pregnant, she might miscarry within a few days.
Upon hearing this, Zhan Ming's eyes regained their brilliance. "Are you telling the truth?"
"The Regent can try," Lu Hao said with great confidence.
"Really?!" Zhan Ming confirmed again.
Lu Hao nodded.
Zhan Ming suddenly stood up, looked down at Lu Hao, his eyes bright, and all the gloom seemed to vanish from them. "Very well! It seems I misunderstood you."
Although he said this, his mind was elsewhere.
He had to find the divine physician that Yun Yueyin had mentioned!
He absolutely could not tolerate his hands remaining black.
As for whether he would find the divine physician to treat Yun Yueyin, that would depend on whether she had the fate for it!
...
Night fell.
Two carriages entered the city one after another.
Without attracting anyone's attention.
They silently separated at a fork in the road.
After returning to the General's mansion with Yun Xiaojing, Yun Shu first had dinner.
Yun Changfeng was not present at dinner. The servants said that Yun Changfeng had gone out in the afternoon and had likely gone to the palace.
Yun Shu arranged for Yu Le and the others to bathe Xiaojing, and then she also leisurely took a rose-scented bath.
Meanwhile.
At the Night King's mansion.
Zhan Xiaoli and Gu Xiaofeng were tired after playing all day and had retired to their respective rooms to bathe.
As for Zhan Tianye, shortly after entering the mansion, the doorman reported that General Yun wanted to see him.
"Why has General Yun visited so suddenly?" Qiu Lu asked, surprised.
Zhan Tianye's dark eyes flashed slightly. After a moment of thought, he ordered, "Invite General Yun in."
"Yes!"
After the doorman left, Qiu Lu still looked at Zhan Tianye, full of doubt. "Your Highness, General Yun... is this...?"
General Yun had never visited the Night King's mansion before.
This was the first time.
Why did he have a feeling that the visitor was not friendly?
Zhan Tianye looked down at the tea by his hand. "It should be about Yun Shu."
"Ah? Could it be that General Yun also knows the truth?" Qiu Lu exclaimed.
Zhan Tianye said nothing more.
Instead, his dark eyes were very deep.
After a moment.
Yun Changfeng, accompanied by the doorman, arrived at Zhan Tianye's study.
This was Yun Changfeng's first time at the Night King's mansion.
If it weren't for Shu'er, he probably wouldn't have had the chance to visit the Night King's mansion.
"I pay my respects to the Night King." Although Yun Changfeng wished he could have killed Zhan Tianye, he still had to follow etiquette.
Zhan Tianye immediately said, "General, there's no need for so much ceremony."
"Ceremony must be observed, as it is my duty," Yun Changfeng replied politely but coolly.
However, his gaze towards Zhan Tianye clearly conveyed ill will and coldness.
Qiu Lu clearly sensed it; the visitor was indeed not friendly!
Zhan Tianye nodded, said nothing more, but looked up at Qiu Lu, signaling him to withdraw.
Qiu Lu withdrew as ordered.
After Qiu Lu left.
Yun Changfeng was no longer polite, directly sitting down beside him, his face faintly showing anger. "Does the Night King know the purpose of my visit today?"
Originally, they had been minding their own business. They both served the country and its people in court and assisted the Emperor.
On the surface, everything had always been calm.
Zhan Tianye knew perfectly well. He had no intention of pretending ignorance. Since he was responsible, he naturally had to admit it. He nodded, "I know what this is about. It concerns Xiaoli, the other two, and the second daughter of the Yun family."
When Yun Changfeng heard this, he could no longer suppress the burning rage in his heart. He slammed the table and stood up. "Night King, you actually bullied my daughter! And let her bear everything alone all these years!"
For the past few days, whenever this matter crossed his mind, it caused him immense pain!
His hatred was agonizing!
"This matter is indeed my oversight. I believe General Yun is also somewhat aware of the reasons behind it from back then. I will bear whatever responsibility I must," Zhan Tianye said, sincerely admitting his mistake and stating his willingness to take responsibility.
This straightforward admission of his attitude considerably quelled Yun Changfeng's anger for the moment.
He considered Zhan Tianye to be a true man.
"I know some of the reasons for what happened back then, but the Night King used to loathe Shu'er the most. Now, you say you want to be responsible, are you trying to snatch all three children away? And then make Shu'er suffer the pain of separation from her flesh and blood?" Yun Changfeng narrowed his eyes and asked coldly.
They were all men, and men understood other men's thoughts better.
Zhan Tianye's eyes were deep, as hazy and profound as the night sky, making it impossible to discern what he was thinking.
Then, Yun Changfeng heard Zhan Tianye say, "Five years ago, I did indeed loathe Yun Shu, but now, my feelings towards her have changed."
"Oh?" Yun Changfeng raised an eyebrow.
What did this mean?
Could it be that the Night King also liked Shu'er?
Recalling that the Night King had seemed to appear around Shu'er quite often recently, unlike his previous behavior of avoiding her whenever they met.
Could it be...
Was it really as he guessed?
Zhan Tianye suddenly looked at Yun Changfeng with determination and uttered words that shocked Yun Changfeng. "I intend to marry Yun Shu."
A moment later.
Outside the Night King's mansion.
Yun Changfeng was still feeling dizzy and confused.
He sat in the carriage for a long time, not recovering his senses.
It wasn't until a cool night breeze blew into the carriage that Yun Changfeng suddenly jolted awake.
"The Night King actually wants to marry Shu'er!" Yun Changfeng exclaimed, slapping his thigh.
How could this be?
It was beyond his expectations!
