Chapter 125 Little 8 attacks Pei Huai Ren: Ball, you're the ball…
"What...what is this?!"
Pei Huai-ren suddenly stopped, his gaze sharp as lightning, pointing directly at Xiao Ba, his voice filled with surprise and confusion.
At this moment, Xiao Ba's mechanical arm was clinging tightly to the back of the Queen's hand. The cold, hard metal contrasted sharply with the Queen's delicate hand, making it particularly eye-catching.
On Xiao Ba's electronic screen, a pair of virtual eyes rolled their eyes helplessly, thinking to themselves: Another ignorant old fogey has arrived!
Its mechanical voice rang out, tinged with a hint of mockery: "Fine! You think I'm ugly? Then I'll leave?"
After saying that, Xiao Ba began to organize its toolbox, preparing to pull Consort De out of this awkward situation.
At this moment, Consort De nodded slightly to Pei Huai Ren, performing a respectful bow, her voice gentle and patient:
"Your Highness, I apologize for my inappropriate words. My sister, the Empress, has already received my treatment and her condition has improved considerably."
As soon as she finished speaking, Consort De gently pulled Xiao Ba back a few steps so that her figure would no longer block Pei Huai Ren's view.
As she moved, the Empress's figure came into clear view of Pei Huai Ren.
The Empress slowly rose and leaned against the headboard. Her complexion was noticeably rosier than before, and her eyes regained their former luster.
She spoke up to stop Pei Huai-ren's doubts and impulses:
"Ren'er, don't act rashly! Xiao Ba is the divine physician who has treated me, so he must be treated with care!"
If it weren't for it, your mother would probably have gone down to find your sister long ago!
When Pei Huai-ren's sister was mentioned, a fleeting, undisguised sadness flashed in the Empress's eyes. That sadness, like a wisp of smoke, drifted silently into the air, evoking pity in everyone present.
In fact, Pei Huai-ren did have a younger sister.
However, fate is always full of twists and turns;
Just as the Empress was six months pregnant, a sudden assassination attempt befell her.
At that moment, the assassin appeared suddenly like a ghost, his sharp blade gleaming coldly, and thrust it straight at the empress.
Faced with this terrifying scene, the Empress was terrified and collapsed to the ground in shock.
Extreme fear caused her body to react violently, and the fetus in her womb began to move restlessly; in an instant, blood gushed from the empress's lower body, and her condition was critical, and she was about to die from massive bleeding.
Just at this critical moment, Fu Mingyue arrived as if by divine intervention.
Without any panic, she quickly pulled out a bottle of mysterious medicine from her bosom—it was a hemostatic drug she had brought from the modern world!
Fu Mingyue quickly opened the bottle cap and evenly sprinkled the powdered hemostatic medicine onto the Empress's wound, then made her take it.
A miraculous thing happened: the gushing blood, as if by magic, gradually stopped flowing.
It was thanks to Fu Mingyue's decisive rescue that the Empress was able to escape death and save her precious life, but the princess in her womb could not be saved.
However, after this life-or-death ordeal, the Empress's health deteriorated drastically and she could never fully recover.
Now, she has to rely on bitter and hard-to-swallow herbal medicine every day to nourish her body and maintain basic life functions.
Worse still, the malaria that the Queen is suffering from this time is extremely severe and dangerous; the reason for this is the serious aftereffects left by the previous assassination attempt.
Each attack of her illness was like a demon gnawing at the queen's frail body, causing her unbearable pain.
Just when everyone was helpless and in despair over the Queen's condition, Xiao Ba, a seemingly ordinary sphere, unexpectedly appeared in everyone's sight.
Its appearance was like a ray of dawn, bringing new hope to the Queen's road to recovery.
However, when Pei Huai-ren saw Xiao Ba, his heart was filled with doubt and disbelief.
He stared wide-eyed at the unremarkable sphere, muttering to himself:
"Mother, are you really sure you're alright? This palace is filled with the most renowned doctors in the land. Are they really inferior to this..."
"Uh, is such a small round ball enough?"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but gasp, his face full of suspicion.
???
Suddenly, a row of eye-catching question marks flashed on Xiaoba's electronic screen. They were like jumping musical notes, expressing Xiaoba's confusion and dissatisfaction: "??????"
Immediately afterwards, Hachi's voice, tinged with anger and mockery, came through its speaker:
"Ball! You're the ball! Your whole family are balls!"
These words froze the atmosphere in the entire Fengyi Palace. All the palace servants couldn't help but gasp, secretly alarmed.
This legendary doctor dared to be so audacious, not only insulting the crown prince but also his entire family!
The palace servants looked at each other in bewilderment, thinking to themselves, "What should we do? This is probably a recipe for being beheaded!"
Xiao Ba's outspokenness undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to the Crown Prince's authority.
At that moment, Consort De reacted very quickly. She immediately reached out and covered Xiao Ba's mouth to stop it from saying anything inappropriate.
Then, she knelt down straight before the Empress, her voice tinged with urgency: "Empress, please don't be angry. Little Eight is still young, and children speak without thinking!"
Consort De knew in her heart that the Empress was lenient towards Xiao Ba, after all, it was Xiao Ba who had just saved her life.
The Empress smiled slightly, her eyes revealing tolerance and understanding for Xiao Ba. She gently shook her head and said softly:
"It's alright, it's alright! It was Ren'er who spoke inappropriately, it's not the fault of Little Eighth Divine Doctor! Sister, please get up!"
Her voice was soothing, which eased the tense atmosphere a little.
Upon hearing the Empress's words, Consort De slowly rose. Feeling the cold gaze from behind, her heart tightened, and then, as if suddenly realizing something, she said:
"Your Majesty, I suddenly remembered that Yunshang was also feeling unwell today. Now that you are alright, I will take Xiaoba back to see Yunshang!"
This was clearly an excuse, but Consort De's words gave everyone a way out.
No one present was a fool; they naturally understood that Consort De was looking for an excuse to leave, lest Xiao Ba cause any more trouble.
No one exposed the obvious lie; everyone tacitly chose to remain silent, allowing this small disturbance to subside.
The Empress nodded slightly, a barely perceptible smile on her face, and said softly, "Go, I will send someone to escort you back!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the head palace maid, Emerald, walked over gracefully, bowed respectfully to the Empress, and then turned around and began to make arrangements in an orderly manner.
Before long, a magnificent and exquisitely crafted sedan chair slowly drove up and stopped in front of Consort De and Xiao Ba.
Consort De gracefully boarded the sedan chair, with Xiao Ba following closely behind. Once they were settled, the sedan chair bearers lifted the chair and drove smoothly and swiftly towards Shanghe Palace.
Meanwhile, the once bustling and prosperous Fengyi Palace has now been completely emptied, with no one else in sight except for the Empress and Pei Huai Ren.
