Back to Fate

Chapters. 20 Stories of Physician Liu

the flashback

That afternoon I and my two fellow royal healers were inside the main hall because the Crown Prince found a suspicious bag of powder from a servant who came from the orchid palace which was the residence palace of the concubine Hua Hui Mei who was the fifth prince's birth mother.

So the three of us were called in to identify the powder.

After a while we observed the powder, concluding that it was a commonly used powder-making and blushing ingredient so all felt relieved.

But when the powder will I return it in the original box, and when I was about to close the box and look dark inside the box I saw at a glance something like sparkling scattered powder mixed and I observed again, I smelled the powder thoroughly, and it turned out to be a very dangerous substance, a kind of nerve-paralysing poison, but the way it works is not through the digestive system.

Except through the pores and inhaled. If too often and long exposed to the substance it will cause paralysis of each nerve and that means also the paralysis of the body until finally will die with a thin body, which will cause paralysis of the body, because during the exposure period it also makes the appetite reduced drastically.

When I had come to that conclusion we imperial healers came back to the condition of the late concubine Ming Yua Lie. She was one of the princesses of the Zhang kingdom.

After that we said there began to be a riot because the emperor felt something was wrong with the death of his concubine that made his sixth son must lose the figure of his birth mother at the age of 3 months.

So from that moment on the sixth son was taken care of by his beloved concubine, Grand Consort Xian Yu Bin, mother of the second and fourth Princes.

Therefore, within one day the entire Wuxi empire became in an uproar because of the news of the motive for the assassination of the Emperor's concubine several years ago. And it began to be investigated for its truth.

While everyone was still in an uproar about it, we palace healers were also preoccupied with researching how the item worked.

But what was unexpected was when I got a call from the prime minister's residence Han Ling Gou to treat his second son who had been sick since childhood. Initially nothing happened and smoothly as usual but if carefully observed the disease suffered by the second young master of the Han prime minister is indeed similar to the early symptoms when the late imperial concubine sick and eventually died.

But it is strange why the child can survive for many years. Then I concluded that the young man was indeed exposed to the same poison at once and the dose was also very small.

I finally thought of something and there might also be a conspiracy behind all this.

When I went out of the room and wanted to find the great master Han to talk about my suspicions regarding the health of his second son I accidentally listened to two people talking.

Until I decided to hide. And it turns out it's true that this is a huge and complicated conspiracy to solve.

“Mr Han, have you done everything?” Ask that someone.

“Ahh Sir take it easy, all I have settled, after all all the evidence I have cleared and no one will be suspicious.” said Prime Minister Han

“Good, then the Empress will definitely remember your services. Especially if the plan this time was successful so that the Imperial Grand Concubine could be eliminated on false charges of deliberately poisoning a fellow concubine out of jealousy, then it was great for the Crown Prince's ascension later.” Said that person again which turned out to be Eunuch Shan from the Emperor Consort's residence.

“Thank you very much to the Empress, I am really flattered if Eunuch Shan has said so.” Prime Minister Han said.

“Then what about your outer child's plan. And don't forget to remind your mistress not to mess with the Empress's plans. Because regardless of the circumstances of the Main Princess of the Great General Shen Family it was still very useful to support the status of the Crown Prince. So remind your mistresses and children not to let them bully the Main Princess too much. It doesn't matter if she dies after becoming the Crown Prince's legal wife and taking the Crown Prince to the throne as the new Emperor.” Said Eunuch Shan.

“Kasim take it easy, I have set it up, my first son with him will immediately replace that loser Chen Zhang Wen's position and we can also attract that General Shen's first son to the crown prince's side as his loyal bodyguard or the commander of the shadow guard's son crown for a while, besides that my first daughter with him also I have pressed so as not to act like.” Reply Prime Minister Han.

“Good, make sure the path of the Crown Prince is smooth if you want your son who is lying inside to get well soon. And immediately do everything while the atmosphere is still murky, so that no one will care about you. Because their focus is still sidetracked by the appearance of the poison." Eunuch Shan said coldly.

“You don't worry, I'll make sure that the foolish General will be a loyal supporter of the Crown Prince. I believe Yun Xue Rou can control it.” Said Mr. Han

“Good, all you need to do is make sure your mistress is not defected and lest she know that you are only an accomplice of the Empress and you are just using her.” Kasim Shan warned and hurried away.

I who have seen the departure of the Empress' envoy have left Prime Minister Han alone,

then I came out of hiding then waited for the prime Minister Han in front of the second Young Master Han's pavilion to say goodbye.

But when in the middle of the road I felt that someone was following. Until finally I rushed into the horse carriage, but what I did not expect was that the coachman of the horse carriage was someone else who took me away in the opposite direction from the palace.

When he arrived at a quiet place on the edge of the forest and quite far from the direct settlement the train stopped and appeared 3 people dressed all in black with a face cover like a hitman.

“What's my fault, I don't think it ever offended you?” Physician Liu asked the assassins.

“Tak needs to ask a lot, you are just a small pebble that blocks the smooth path of our master, and we should have overcome you.” Said one of the hit men.

“Already, why do you talk to him so much better we kill him now.” Said another.

“No don't kill me, I won't harm anyone. Please release myself.” Said physician Liu begging to be released.

When assessing the atmosphere he experienced healer Liu finally understood if they were emissaries from the Empress, if not also definitely his henchmen.

For a moment he thought about how he could escape from the white tiger assassins.

Then he remembered something that might be useful to him but it was also risky if his calculations missed.

When the assassins started attacking him. Physician Liu tried to dodge, because even though he was a healer, he was also a cultivator even though it was not high. But he was determined to survive.

Especially when he remembered the son who was one of the subordinates of the Crown Prince's trust, then he was increasingly determined to dismantle their rottenness and free his son from their shackles.

Just when Physician Liu was exhausted and received many wounds from the three assassins, he took the opportunity while being sprawled and face down and took out a pill that could manipulate the pulse of a dead man from the dead his storage ring was given by his late teacher.

And then he swallowed the pill and prepared to hold his breath. In order to fool the hit men.

But luck also sided with him so that after he took the pill for a while he did not move and the assassins immediately checked his pulse.

And from a distance came the sound of a horse-drawn carriage going across where we were at that time. Therefore the assassins immediately left regardless of physician Liu again, because they thought he was dead.

And when the chariot crossed the road near the place of the fight, the coachman saw it and told the Master, who turned out to be Mr. Ye.

Finally Master Ye Hongli the owner of the slave market took him and helped him to treat the wounds on his body.

And because I felt indebted to him, I offered to become a slave, provided that only the royal people could take him as a slave, because he planned to make a plan to get my only son Liu Wu Shang out of the Crown Prince's entanglement.

Since no one had known that Wu Shang was my son all along, then for the time being it was safe for a while.

Actually Wu Shang decided to become one of the shadow bodyguards of the crown prince because he wanted to find support to investigate the death of his mother or my wife and also my unnatural little sister.

When Wu Shang returned from the academy back then he discovered his mother and aunt had been lying lifeless inside the residence.

While I don't know because I also rarely return to the residence because it is busy in the palace.

Flashback off

“So Wu Shang is your son Liu's only physician. I didn't think that even he was hiding this truth from me. Though we were good friends since entering the academy at that time.” Chen Zhang Wen said unexpectedly with the truth he had just heard.

“What a biadap human being who justifies all means to reach his personal desires they have the heart to play games with the lives of others.” Xi Lilian said furiously.

“Then do you also know who has framed me and what is the reason?” chen Zhang Wen.

“Yes they are indeed human beings, and the brain of this is all the empress, the queen, they want to get rid of you because you are a subordinate of Great General Shen's trust and you are very familiar with the Second Prince Son of Grand Concubine Xian Yu Bin.

Therefore the Empress thinks that you are one of the great obstacles to the Crown Prince, and also you are too formidable if rolled over. With their power they are in cahoots with the warlord who is under you who is your own younger brother Chen Yan Guo. Because he is also envious of your achievements and also your standing within the Chen.” family Physician Liu explained.

“What a great conspiracy. The tenyata of this imperial Empress was more terrifying than a war general in crafting a stratagem. Let's see after this what they can do, then I'll never stay put.” Xi Lilian said with a cruel grin and a murderous glint in her eyes.

“Alright then we should rest because the night is also late, I will return to my private residence not far from here whether you will come or stay here?” ask Xi Lilian.

“Eemm can we come?” chen Zhang Wen.

“Of course. You two hold my shoulders, we'll be heading for my residence soon.” Xi Lilian said to the two of them.

After saying that Xi Lilian directly teleported towards the courtyard of the main pavilion where she was going to live.

A few seconds later they arrived. And that made both of the people who were with him startled.

“Lian’er you... Can you teleport? I don't dream, do I?” Chen Zhang Wen asked stuttered.

Physician Liu was still stunned by observing the surroundings feeling disbelief in what he had just experienced.

“Actually how many more surprises you have hidden from us.” Physician Liu.
