Imperial Court? Little Prince? Medicine King Valley?
Could it be that Little Baby is the young child who was poisoned by the Empress?
Su Qingluo listened attentively to Little Kingfisher’s narration, holding the soft, adorable little body in her arms. Her heart ached as she involuntarily tightened her embrace.
Power struggles of the royalty – how innocent was the young child in it all.
A naive, ignorant child, suffering from pain and illness since birth.
And yet, some people were still unwilling to let him go. Just after leaving the Imperial Palace, and losing his parents’ protection, he immediately faced assassination attempts.
“Where is Medicine King Valley?”
Having been inseparable from the clingy little child for three days, Su Qingluo had to admit that Little Baby had held a special place in her heart.
She didn’t want the little child she had struggled to heal to continue suffering from the poison.
Fortunately, there was Medicine King Valley. Since the Immortal Sect’s expert had foretold that Little Baby’s fate would change in Medicine King Valley, the Divine Doctors there should be able to cure his disease.
“You can reach it by following Weishui River downstream and passing through Woniu Village. After that, it’s another three hundred miles.”
Little Kingfisher disagreed with his Master’s opinion, looking down on the so-called expert of the Immortal Sect.
In this world, no medical skills could surpass those of his Master.
If he could figure out that the Little Prince’s destined benefactor was in the southeast, why couldn’t he also predict that the real savior was actually in Woniu Village?
“Three hundred miles isn’t far. If we hurry on horseback, we’ll arrive in two days and won’t delay the treatment.”
Su Qingluo had no other concerns and was wholeheartedly thinking about Little Baby’s well-being.
Little Baby’s condition had improved quite a bit over the last three days of treatment. If the Divine Doctors of Medicine King Valley continued to follow this method of treatment, there was hope for a complete recovery and removal of the poison within a year or so.
“Master, that woman has instructed the County Magistrate to report to Capital City and request reinforcements. Capital City is not far from Mingshui County, only about two hundred miles. The Imperial Court will receive the message, and someone will come over the day after tomorrow at the latest.”
Little Kingfisher wasn’t interested in Medicine King Valley and continued to divulge information on the topics that piqued his interest.
Su Qingluo, quick-witted as she was, furrowed her brows upon hearing this and gently reminded, “Yin’er, stay vigilant these two days. Keep an eye on the Medical Hall in secret and protect that woman. She is the only witness who can identify the murderer. The mastermind behind the assassination won’t leave any loose ends.”
Little Kingfisher shared the same thoughts: “Master, that woman had the same idea. She didn’t want to go back with us because she didn’t want to involve us.”
“She has already ordered Mingshui County Magistrate to find a child of the same age as the Little Prince and send him to the Medical Hall. She claims that the Little Prince, like her, was seriously injured and unconscious because of the assassination attempt.”
“Sigh.”
Su Qingluo’s eyes dimmed, and she let out a melancholic sigh. She had mixed feelings about the woman’s actions: “She wholeheartedly thinks of the Little Prince’s best interests. Her loyalty is commendable, but in doing so, she’s putting another child in danger.”
“Master, rest assured, I’ll do my best to protect that child.”
Little Kingfisher felt connected to his Master’s thoughts, sensed her concerns, and proudly raised his little head. He volunteered to help relieve her worries.
Su Qingluo felt slightly relieved, “I’m counting on you, Yin’er. I have to take care of Little Baby and can’t spare any attention for anything else.”
“Um, don’t worry, Master. I’ll go and check where the Magistrate found that child from.
With a new goal in mind, Little Kingfisher couldn’t be more excited. He flapped his delicate little wings a few times before taking off into the sky.
Yin’er, it’s so good to have you around!
Su Qingluo held the innocent Little Baby close, inhaling the unique, milky scent of infancy, her heart melting..
