Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor-Chapter 919 - 71: Twists and Turns

For the first time in his life, Dugu Xiu felt the impulse to tear a woman apart, devour her completely, and make her entirely his own, never to be coveted by anyone else. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Dugu Xiu, in a fit of rage, tore open Yun Sheng’s bodice, and suddenly his arm went numb as if it had been struck by something.

"Dugu Xiu, let go of me, or you’ll regret it for the rest of your life," Yun Sheng struck at Dugu Xiu with her palm.

"Humph, you’ve indeed learned some strange skills, but still too weak, like scratching an itch through a boot," Dugu Xiu pinned down Yun Sheng’s leg, lifted her whole body up, and threw her hard onto the bed.

Today, he must have her no matter what.

Dugu Xiu once thought he could make Yun Sheng accept him.

Little did he know, Yun Sheng already hated him to the core.

If that’s the case, then she shouldn’t blame him for using force.

"Bang bang bang"

A series of urgent knocks came from outside the door.

"Who!"

Dugu Xiu, like an enraged lion, glared at Yun Sheng without turning his head.

He already said no one was allowed to disturb him, who dared to interfere at this moment.

"Crown Prince, there’s a major problem, the Emperor has been poisoned!"

"What?" Dugu Xiu was startled, he gloomily glanced at Yun Sheng and put on his robe.

Outside, a guard waited anxiously, stammering, "Reporting to the Crown Prince, the Emperor and several concubines, along with many citizens in the city, have been poisoned, and currently are in a high fever, not waking."

"Yun Sheng, is this your doing?" Dugu Xiu flicked his sleeve, turned, and grabbed Yun Sheng.

"I’m a Doctor, not a butcher," Yun Sheng glared fiercely at Dugu Xiu.

The two were like roosters with bloodshot eyes, necks red and puffed up.

Indeed, although Yun Sheng was cunning, she was not yet at the point of poisoning and murdering.

As a Doctor, Yun Sheng still had certain boundaries.

"Even if it wasn’t you, you can’t escape the connection, come, help my father recover, if it doesn’t work, I’ll behead Yun Canglang first," Dugu Xiu carried Yun Sheng over his shoulder and rushed towards Dugu Sheng’s residence in the Emperor Palace.

Inside the Hou Qin Palace, after experiencing a visit from the Elf Karma Fire, along the way, ruins were everywhere, the once resplendent Emperor Palace was also heavily damaged.

The poisoned and unconscious Dugu Sheng looked like gold paper, lying on the sickbed.

These days, the Hou Qin Palace had misfortune upon misfortune, yesterday, Dugu Sheng was cozily resting in the favored concubine Princess Consort Zi’s palace, when suddenly heard cries of fire rescue.

As soon as the cries fell, a fireball rushed into the Qianzi Palace, burning fiercely.

Qianzi Palace’s beams all crashed down.

At that time, Dugu Sheng was still undressed with Princess Consort Zi, hearing the cries, he only had time to put on pants, and rushed out carrying the frightened Princess Consort Zi.

After narrowly escaping death, early the next morning, Princess Consort Zi personally cooked a bowl of restorative soup to help Dugu Sheng calm his nerves, only for Dugu Sheng to drink the soup and suddenly change his complexion, collapsing unconscious.

Doctors from the Imperial Hospital were all summoned.

But no one had any means against the aggressive poison assailing Dugu Sheng.

Meanwhile, similar situations were happening in various places in Hou Qin and Yang City.

Dugu Sheng arrived, Princess Consort Zi was kneeling on the ground.

The Imperial Physicians approached, examining Dugu Xiu’s skin tone, pulling back his eyelids, listening to his pulse and heartbeat.

"When was he poisoned? Were there any reactions during the period?"

"Earlier this morning, after drinking the soup sent by Princess Consort Zi, His Highness became unconscious," a palace maid truthfully reported.

"What’s the Holy Emperor’s condition, can the poison be cured?" Empress Qing saw the Physicians’ troubled expressions, gossiping amongst themselves, and grew all the more angry.

"Empress, the Emperor’s poison is very strange, we’ve searched through medical books and can’t find the cause. We’ve used medicine to suppress the poison, but the poison seems alive, consuming the medication’s effect, instead becoming more fierce," the Imperial Physicians all looked terrified.

The implication was clear, they had no means to cure the poison.

"Princess Consort Zi, you’re so bold, someone, drag her out," Empress Qing always saw Princess Consort Zi as a thorn in her side, this time with the Emperor poisoned, she seized the chance to deal with Princess Consort Zi.

"Have mercy, I know nothing," Princess Consort Zi was extremely frightened, she had no idea why the Holy Emperor was poisoned.

"Any fool can see she didn’t poison him, or are you saying, Empress Qing, you’re worse than a fool," a mocking voice entered along with Dugu Xiu.

"Xiu’er, quickly check on your father," Empress Qing seeing Dugu Xiu looked like she found a mainstay, but seeing he came with Yun Sheng, she was infuriated.

"Why bring this little wretch here, she killed Qing Qiang," Empress Qing seeing Yun Sheng, grew vengeful.

"Mother, she is a Doctor, I have yet to see someone with better Medical Skill. Moreover, she’s speaking the truth, the poisoned people in the palace are not only my father alone, Princess Consort Zi must also be innocent," Dugu Xiu felt both love and hate for Yun Sheng.

But one thing, he couldn’t deny.

Whether Yun Sheng’s Medical Skill was the best on the continent, Dugu Xiu did not yet know, but one thing, her Medical Skill was definitely the most miraculous he’d seen.

Previously, when Yun Bahe was severely injured, it was Yun Sheng who used bizarre needle techniques to heal him.

Rumor had it, she had cured the grievously poisoned Empress Tang Yuan in Tang Yuan.

Dugu Xiu glanced at Yun Sheng.

"Will she save him? It’s a good thing she doesn’t kill your father," Empress Qing grumbled.

Yun Sheng snorted inwardly, Dugu Xiu’s brain must have been kicked by a mule, she absolutely would not save Dugu Sheng.

"I’ve heard, in the Capital, many citizens are poisoned too. I’ll have her test on those citizens first. Mother, don’t worry, father will definitely be fine," Dugu Xiu’s words ignited the anger in Yun Sheng’s heart.

"Dugu Xiu, you’re so despicable," Yun Sheng could sit by and watch the Emperor of Post Qin die, but she absolutely would not sit idly while innocent citizens die.

The Yun Sheng Dugu Xiu knew, sometimes vicious, sometimes cunning, but her Little Ci’en Hall annually conducted free consultations, providing free medicine and checkups for commoners.

Just for this, Dugu Xiu could assert Yun Sheng would not sit idly by.

"Someone, bring some patients from the city into the Imperial Palace," Dugu Xiu commanded.

"Wait, the patients are seriously ill, how can they be randomly moved. Tell me where the most severe poison outbreak is, I’ll go personally. If you don’t agree, I won’t see patients," Yun Sheng snorted.

She only glanced distantly at Dugu Xiu’s expression, a trace of astonishment flickered beneath her eyes.
