CHAPTER 224: CHAPTER 153: SHE MIGHT ALREADY CARRY THEIR CHILD IN HER BELLY...

The old imperial physician pondered, suddenly spoke loudly, "Madam, please forgive an old man’s incompetence! The General’s injuries are quite severe; I fear they may threaten his life! It is said that there is a Divine Doctor in the Western Regions, who can save someone as long as they have a breath left!"

The old imperial physician raised his eyes, sneaked a glance at the Little Princess, seeing no response from her, continued probing, "The General’s mother is a person from the Western Regions, perhaps... she might be able to invite this Divine Doctor? Madam, should you..."

"Useless fool!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the ethereal Little Princess suddenly shout angrily.

The large hand clutching his wrist finally loosened its grip.

The old imperial physician sighed deeply, lifted his robe, and knelt down, "It is I who am useless! It is the Imperial Hospital that is incompetent! Please, Madam, punish me!"

Behind him, a group of dumbfounded imperial physicians exchanged bewildered glances.

You old fool, if you’re the one who’s useless, why involve the entire Imperial Hospital? Others haven’t even examined the General’s injuries!

But... what can be done when the person is a scholar at the Imperial Hospital? What can be done when the person has high moral standing?

If you really hog the spotlight and fail to heal the General’s injuries, not only will you be punished, but you’ll also offend your superior, which would completely ruin your future!

So, even if there’s bellyaching, no one dares to take the initiative.

After the old imperial physician knelt down, behind him, more than ten imperial physicians also knelt sparsely on the ground, claiming their incompetence.

Yun Chunnuan silently praised the old imperial physician in her heart.

Truly a seasoned veteran of the palace, just look at how flawlessly he shifted the blame!

For the first time, she felt that her Barbarian General wasn’t a simple-minded, reckless brute.

Having the old imperial physician diagnose the illness was his idea; even the direction in which the old physician would shift the blame, he guessed almost completely right.

Such a man, such a husband, made her feel more at ease.

However, for the old imperial physician to think he could completely avoid blame, that was impossible.

Since he boarded this pirate ship... ah, pshaw! Her family is a massive oil tanker, not a small, broken ship, he can’t get off either way!

The old imperial physician thought he was free of blame.

But unexpectedly, the Little Princess got angry and had him go to the palace to invite the Princess Consort!!!

This was dragging him down together!

But he, without paying attention, had already boarded the pirate ship...

Today’s commotion, you think it’s just the General and the King losing their temper?

Not really, I’m afraid the King’s actions towards the General last night have already chilled the General’s heart thoroughly.

From now on, who knows what the court might change into?

The old imperial physician just wanted to cry...

What fate was this! Serving in the court for forty-four years, witnessing two changes in the ruler of Bianliao, is this to be... a third time?

He must align himself early to survive well in the future!

As for which side to stand on, isn’t it obvious!

Just take a look at the princes birthed by the Queen, who only know how to eat, drink, and play, if Bianliao were handed over to them, it would be completely finished!

The old imperial physician was nervous beyond measure, as even a word or act from him was sufficient to affect Bianliao’s future.

But he comforted himself, it’s all for the country.

After the old imperial physician led a group of imperial physicians away, they went straight to the Princess Consort’s palace.

Just right, the King was in Ningxiang Hall, and the old imperial physician exaggerated the General’s situation.

That degree of realism even startled Ayimu.

Impatiently brought Ayimu out of the palace, upon seeing her son lying on the sickbed, with a face ashen as death, truly frightened her immensely.

Until her daughter-in-law tightly held her hand, Ayimu became belatedly aware.

Of course, it wouldn’t be complete without a performance of a grand drama.

In the end, the King of Bianliao even personally left the palace to visit his son at the General Mansion.

Except... he never dreamt that the Little Princess of Great Xia would be so unreasonable and willful!

Throwing tantrums in his presence was one thing, but she also made all sorts of unreasonable demands!

What’s the most outrageous?!

This Great Xia Princess unbelievably asked him for Bianliao’s land!!!

He, Yelyu Erlun, is no fool, how could he gift his nation’s territory to a person from the Central Plains? And not to mention a Princess of the Great Xia Country!

Isn’t the war between Great Xia and Bianliao for territorial disputes?

But what did the Little Princess say?

She said her husband was now lying on the bed, unsure whether he would live or die!

And she might already have their flesh and blood in her womb...

This land, she wanted it for her husband, for her child.

If he, as the King, couldn’t even fulfill this request, then should her husband really suffer mishaps, she wouldn’t be able to continue living in Bianliao, better go back to Great Xia now...
