Repairing the Past

Chapter 53

The pavilion door opened when Minister Chen arrived. Two guards with high martial skills let them inside. Minister Chen and Fu Bai stepped in unhindered.

Whereas Chu Yao had to refrain from fainting on the spot. I don't know why the feeling of tightness invaded his respiratory cavity. He had to take a deep breath. Time and time again. Just to calm down.

Ever since waking up from the painful 'sleep' four years ago, Chu Yao's body was no longer as normal as it once was. He is easily nervous for no reason. Sometimes panic causes tremors all over the hands. Even for a certain time, he can faint or vomit blood for no reason. Not to mention the other irregularities that often occur and his explosive attitude just because of trivial things.

All of that made him withdraw and increasingly incomprehensible. It is not easy for him to rise from a long slump. The traumatic feeling is still burning. Gives a very bad effect, not only on the mental but also on the physical that is no longer the same.

Chu Yao had to go to great lengths to survive with her new identity and had to give up a portion of her face covered for life.

The woman swallowed the saliva. Clenching the lips without releasing the grip of the hand. He continued to quietly follow the steps of the two people in front of him.

A few minutes later they reached the end of the corridor. There was a door that was closed there. Minister Chen cleared his throat before actually letting out a word.

“I, Chen Fei Yi, came with healer Fu brothers.”

With one jolt that read 'Clack!' the door was wide open. A black chess piece was lying under Minister Chen's feet.

The man was indifferent and immediately entered in the accompaniment of Fu Bai and Chu Yao who were walking down behind him.

The room was quiet. As if no one was living there at all. However, slowly but surely, the light footsteps of a man began to sound. Minister Chen bowed his body and Fu Bai and Chu Yao immediately kowtowed their respects to the emperor.

“Why are they not told to rest first?”

Chu Yao gasped at the familiar voice in her ears. His heart was guessing but he did not dare to be sure.

The face of a man was running around in his mind. Could it?

Nah!

Chu Yao did not dare to raise a face. In addition to violating decency and manners, he did not want the young emperor to see some of his face. Chu Yao felt that he was a little exaggerated. He had to focus and dismiss all the conjectures in his heart.

“You think the trip they did was a blink of an eye and they weren't exhausted?”

“Pardon my carelessness, your honor. I don't think far. In my brain there is only a glorious healing.”

The mood was silent again. Although Chu Yao's position was still prostrating, yet she could feel an intimidating aura enveloping them.

“Do as soon as possible!” The young Emperor's orders to minister Chen were firm.

The old man got up and invited Fu Bai to check the emperor's pulse. Fu Bai stood up and walked over with a body that was still slightly bowed.

The Emperor reached out a hand and Fu Bai examined him with great seriousness.

A few minutes later Fu Bai retreated and bowed respectfully, “If you'd like, I hope your highness is willing to be examined by my sister as well. There are a few things I should make sure to be with him.”

The young emperor nodded his head to minister Chen. The old man instantly understood and asked Chu Yao to come forward.

Chu Yao got up and stood up with a casual look. His limp knees almost made him lose his balance. Fortunately Fu Bai moved quickly. He held onto Chu Yao's almost squishy body from nervousness.

Chu Yao quickly stabilized. He did not delay the time to immediately complete the task given. Slowly he pressed the big wrist.

This hand!

Nah! It's just delusions. This familiar feeling is only because of the homesickness that accumulates. There's no way that guy's here.

The emperor is not him!

Be aware of Chu Yao!!!

Chu Yao. His eyes automatically closed when reading the irregular rhythm of the emperor's pulse.

“Your hand is bleeding.” The cold voice of the emperor made Chu Yao's concentration crumble.

The woman automatically pulled her hand and looked at her.

“Iya, it turns bloody.” Chu Yao's startled voice echoed throughout the room.

He subconsciously looked up and saw the emperor's face. How shocked Chu Yao was. Instantly he again lowered his face and asked for forgiveness because it had been presumptuous.

Chu Yao's body trembled with an extremely fast heartbeat. His face immediately paled. Not out of fear of punishment, but in her unexpected vision. He knew the emperor.

The young emperor was a man who had been with him for a long time. He was the one who protected her and was always there for her. And that man was also the one that Chu Yao had lied to with the high-dose sleeping medicine that Ye Zuan had given her.

Yes, that man was Mo Yan.

Emperor Alorra, Xu Xiao Yan was a former bodyguard of Chu Yao.

Chu Yao bit her lip. Trying to resist the clear granules that almost broke through his defensive wall. Slowly, he walked backwards. Following the instructions that Minister Chen gave them.

“Wait!” Intercept Mo Yan as Chu Yao turned around leaving her private room.

Without saying a word, the cold-faced man gave a small poselen pot to Chu Yao's hand. Then disappear from their sight. Chu Yao was stunned for a moment. He's out of words. His eyes were only fixed on the empty space and turned to the small pot in his hand. Heart warms.

Chu Yao missed him!

Very, very much missed him!

But they can't be together. Nah! More precisely Chu Yao should not crave for someone who was inappropriate for her.

Chu Yao must scold! He is nobody! It was no longer a noble lady who had power and power. Not necessarily the young man remembered him. Not necessarily still have the same taste as before for him.

Chu Yao oh Chu Yao..

You're too confident.. Like you were like four years ago..

Chu Yao chuckled softly. Making Fu Bai and Minister Chen who were conversing in front of him astonished. But only for a moment. The two men refocused on their conversation.

“Then please cooperate. I will inform the royal physician to help physician Fu as soon as possible.” Said Minister Chen politely.

He added, “We have prepared a resting place according to the requirements you provide. You two can immediately rest in it.”

Before retreating, Minister Chen called a male servant to escort Fu Bai and Chu Yao. Courteously, the servant led the way to the resting place that had been prepared for them.

The place is not too big. But it cannot be called small either. One pavilion inscribed with 'nature' with enclosed grounds. It consists of three separate rooms. In the middle of the yard there is a large gazebo with complete medical equipment as well as doubles as the main kitchen.

“On the right side is a room owned by young master Fu, in the middle of Miss Fu Rong while the left belongs to Miss Fu Hua.” Said the waiter, showing each room from across the gazebo.

“Master and miss can call the waiters by pressing this small lever and we will be here soon. This lever is not only here but also available in every room. Each room has a different system, so mister and miss do not have to worry, we will not go wrong in the room.”

Chu Yao nodded in understanding with the explanation the servant gave her. With just a single gesture, the maid withdrew and left Chu Yao and Fu Bai at that place.

***

The next day, a royal physician came to pay a visit to the nature pavilion. Fu Bai greeted him warmly. Let her sit down and have tea together.

They became acquainted with each other and discussed the condition of the young emperor with great seriousness. Chu Yao and Fu Rong who had been concocting herbs just silently listened.

“I agree with the hypothesis of the physician Qin,” Fu Bai said after the royal physician was done giving an explanation.

“The noble pulse is indeed irregular. As if eating each other. Put pressure on each other. This is the first time I have encountered such a strange pulse.” Fu Bai added while reading the paper that the physician Qin gave.

Physician Qin stroked his white beard. His old forehead was increasingly frowned at the thought of a way out.

“It seems that the noble one has some poison in his body. These toxins settle and fuse on their own. Then it creates a new kind of poison. In my opinion, the poison has been in his body long enough and binds to each other so it is difficult to treat with ordinary drugs.” The reply of the physician Qin chimed in the words of the young healer in front of him.

“Mr right. It's just that I think is weird here, how can the originally different poisons suddenly coalesce creating a new, very dangerous toxin by itself and causing significant changes to the hair and some noble internal organs. “

Physician Qin gasped, “Means healer Fu?”

“As someone who has long struggled with the world of poison, I find it impossible to unify poisons that have the opposite nature to each other. It is more impossible if the poisons merge suddenly and become a new variation. What else it just happens in the body without being stimulated by something. That makes no sense.”

“Did the noble accidentally do a method that actually helps the refinement of the poison?!” The physician Qin guessed.

“Entaihah, I'm not sure either.” Fu Bai replied skeptically, “I have to do a follow-up check while looking for a noble antidote.”

Both silent. Massaging the temples that begin to throb pain because they do not also find a satisfactory answer.

Finally physician Qin pampered. The old man left with many questions on his mind. Not only the physician Qin, Fu Bai was. The man took a deep breath and leaned his body against one of the pillars. His tired gaze now turned to Chu Yao.

“Xiao Hua, do you know his previous emperor majesty?” Chirping Fu Bai with curiosity.

Ever since entering the personal space of the ruler of Alorra, Fu Bai realized Chu Yao's attitude had changed. The woman pretended to be calm and spoke less and less. It was as if he was putting pressure on himself not to look suspicious.

“I don't know your majesty.” Chu Yao replied briefly without stopping her activities.

“And I will not go to that place again to accompany you to do a follow-up check.” Chu Yao added in a firm voice.

Fu Bai frowned in confusion, “The reason?”

Chu Yao gave the herbs in her hands to Fu Rong and walked up to Fu Bai, “My medical expertise is not much. My presence there won't give you any help. I was only a little able to do acupuncture. The rest you're all handling.”

“..So I better be here alone, helping Xiao Rong make medicine.” Chu Yao was as detailed as possible.

Fu Bai clucked, “You just avoided the emperor, didn't you?!”

Chu Yao did not budge. He even threw away his face and continued his activity of sorting herbs.

“It's natural you want to avoid. His glare and noble aura were indeed so terrifying. Facing him is like dealing with a ferocious white wolf.” Said Fu Bai who shuddered in horror.

Fu Rong who has been listening to you since last spoke up, “Take care of your mouth! If you want to die you better not take us both!”

Fu Bai immediately shut his mouth quickly. The view goes from one side to the other. He again breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that only the three of them were there. The herbs in Chu Yao's hands were now moving places on the shelf. As if not caring for her two foster siblings, the woman walked apathy toward the room with mixed feelings that never diminished.
