Chapter 152 The Divine Physician and the Regent's Wife (14)
Was that Nalan Zhimeng?
Lin Jingyi never expected that Nalan Zhimeng would not be able to rest in peace even after her death.
Unexpectedly, Nalan Zhimeng's death had such a significant impact on Huangfu Yaoyu.
In Xie Yuan's previous life, Huangfu Yaoyu ultimately ascended to that position so that the woman he loved could become the most honored person in the world.
Now that woman is dead, he has become so despondent.
Lin Jingyi concealed his aura, evaded the guards outside, and slipped into the room.
He formed a hand seal and set up a protective barrier.
With a slight lift of his right hand, the red candles in the room instantly ignited.
Holding Nalan Zhimeng's body, Huangfu Yaoyu frowned slightly. He was startled by the sudden light and slowly opened his eyes.
Those eyes were bloodshot.
"Huangfu Yaoyu".
Upon hearing Lin Jingyi's voice, Huangfu Yaoyu jumped up, his dark eyes seemingly seeing a glimmer of hope.
"Yuanyuan, you're back." Huangfu Yaoyu's tone was filled with excitement, and he continued:
"Quickly, detoxify my mother."
He seemed unaware of Lin Jingyi's unusual behavior, nor of the changing weather outside.
Lin Jingyi smiled and said, "She's already dead."
Huangfu Yaoyu was stunned for a moment, then shouted at Lin Jingyi, "Impossible! You're lying to me! You just don't want to cure her!"
As he spoke, Huangfu Yaoyu staggered to Lin Jingyi and tried to pull her up, but Lin Jingyi dodged him.
He could only manage a confident smile:
"Yuan Yuan, if you can help my mother detoxify, I will marry you right away, okay?"
Lin Jingyi looked disgusted.
"I don't like you looking like this."
His hair and beard were a mess, and he had an indescribable stench emanating from him.
"Yes, I'll go wash up now and become the way you like."
As Huangfu Yaoyu spoke, he prepared to leave the palace.
Lin Jingyi pulled out a sword from his spatial storage and pointed it at Huangfu Yaoyu, blocking his path.
"Yuan Yuan, what are you doing?" Huangfu Yaoyu asked, puzzled, then gently coaxed her.
"Alright, now is not the time to be temperamental. Let's detoxify my mother first, okay?"
"Pfft." Lin Jingyi chuckled: "Huangfu Yaoyu, stop deceiving yourself, okay? Nalan Zhimeng is already dead."
"No, Zhimeng is alive and well. Don't curse her, or I'll have your entire family executed!"
Huangfu Yaoyu began to ramble incoherently.
Seeing him like this, Lin Jingyi felt that killing him would be too lenient.
Why not let him live in such pain?
Lin Jingyi put the sword in his hand into his spatial storage.
"Yuan Yuan, please, this is the first and last time I'm begging you, please save my mother."
As he spoke, Huangfu Yaoyu was about to kneel down in front of Lin Jingyi.
Lin Jingyi didn't dodge and let him kneel down.
"You regret it now, don't you?" Seeing Huangfu Yaoyu's state, Lin Jingyi wanted to say something that would hurt him deeply.
"When I was young, I watched helplessly as my father married the woman I loved as his empress, and I was powerless to resist."
"Now that you've finally gained power, your beloved has left you. Do you regret not taking her with you when you left?"
Huangfu Yaoyu suddenly went berserk.
"You're lying! I didn't abandon her, she won't leave me, you're talking nonsense, you're lying...!"
"Tsk. Did you see that? Nalan Zhimeng's corpse on the bed is already rotting and emitting a foul stench. Look..."
As Lin Jingyi spoke, he kicked Huangfu Yaoyu to Nalan Zhimeng's bedside.
She was afraid of getting it dirty.
"Zhimeng, wake up, don't sleep..." Huangfu Yaoyu shook Nalan Zhimeng.
Then, the maggots on Nalan Zhimeng's body were scattered onto the darkened bed by Huangfu Yaoyu.
Some of them even bounced onto Huangfu Yaoyu.
He seemed oblivious to all of this; in his eyes, Nalan Zhimeng was just like someone lying in bed asleep.
"Look, no matter how much you shake her, she won't wake up," Lin Jingyi said, suppressing his nausea.
“She’s just sleeping too deeply…” Huangfu Yaoyu murmured.
“Actually, I knew you were going to kill me a long time ago, so I didn’t seal the poison in Nalan Zhimeng to prevent it from spreading.”
Lin Jingyi paused for a moment, then continued, "I only sealed her pain receptors; the poison still spread to her internal organs... until she died from the poison!"
"That's why she's experiencing a false sense of well-being and isn't feeling any pain!"
"You brought me here, and it was you... who killed her!"
"No...that's not how it is. You don't know, you're so stupid, how could you possibly know? My mother was just asleep."
Despite Lin Jingyi's explanation, Huangfu Yaoyu still didn't believe it.
Seeing him like this, Lin Jingyi lost the will to watch any longer.
Now that Huangfu Yaoyu has become like this, even without her lifting a finger, those he offended in the past will not let him go.
Thinking it over, Lin Jingyi extinguished the candle and removed the barrier.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the candle went out, Huangfu Yaoyu started shouting loudly. Lin Jingyi had just left when the guards outside heard the noise and ran in.
After lighting the candles, Huangfu Yaoyu stopped yelling and looked around for Lin Jingyi.
"Yuan Yuan... Yuan Yuan... Xie Yuan, come out here!" But in the end, there was no response.
Lin Jingyi had already left the palace when the guards went in to check.
The guards looked at each other in confusion upon hearing Huangfu Yaoyu's shouts. Was the regent hallucinating?
Seeing that Huangfu Yaoyu was unharmed and in no serious condition, the guards closed the door and left.
Huangfu Yaoyu and Nalan Zhimeng were left alone in the room.
As soon as Lin Jingyi left the palace, he cast a purification spell on himself to get rid of the stench that had settled on him, and flew back to the inn.
The mission to take revenge on Huangfu Yaoyu is almost complete, and it has caused him great psychological pain.
Anyway, she can stay in this world for a long time, so she's not afraid that Huangfu Yaoyu will die.
Now her only tasks are to be filial to her parents and help people in need.
[System, since the Divine Healer Valley is currently living in seclusion, if I continue to help people, I will be unable to fulfill my filial duties to my parents.]
Lin Jingyi felt that this task was somewhat contradictory.
[Host, you don't need to spend your whole life helping others.]
Lin Jingyi thought about it and agreed. Since Xie's parents were in good health and she didn't need to worry, she decided to focus on helping people first.
This will be a good opportunity to gain some practical experience.
The next morning, Lin Jingyi and the other two had lunch.
"Big brother, senior brother, my matter is resolved. Next, shall we accompany senior brother back to Yun Kingdom?" Lin Jingyi thought that he could treat patients along the way.
"When did Junior Sister go... to resolve this?" Yun Rong asked in confusion.
"last night."
"Well, Xie Yuan, you actually dared to secretly risk your life behind our backs!" Xie Qing was a little angry; his little sister was always taking risks behind their backs.
Lin Jingyi knew that Xie Qing was worried about her, so she wasn't annoyed.
He smiled and said, "Xie Qing, I think you are no longer my match."
She's at the peak of the late Qi Refining stage, just one step away from the Foundation Establishment stage.
"It's all because I let you win!" Xie Qing recalled that he had held back when he sparred with Xie Yuan before, and he never expected that his little sister would use it against him now.
Lin Jingyi raised an eyebrow: "Shall we have a competition?"
"No, I won't compare." Xie Qing shook his head, finding it pointless.
"That means I'm better than you. I'm the best here. From now on, you'll have to follow my instructions."
Lin Jingyi raised his lips, wanting to provoke Xie Qing.
"Okay, okay, you're the best. We'll listen to you from now on." Xie Qing thought it was better not to argue with her younger sister, because even if she won, she might have to coax her in the end.
Yunrong watched the siblings bickering with a smile.
"After breakfast, the three of us will set off for the Yun Kingdom."
"Yes," Xie Qing and Yun Rong replied in unison.
It feels pretty good to be pampered, Lin Jingyi thought to himself.
Before leaving the city, the three bought three fine horses at the horse market, and each rode one horse out of the city.
Traveling and stopping frequently, Lin Jingyi changed into a dignified and otherworldly appearance, holding a flag for healing the sick and helping the world. In each place he visited, he would provide medical treatment to the local villagers.
Those with money could contribute a small amount, while Lin Jingyi would give the money he had spent on medical consultations to those who didn't have money to get their medicine.
Xie Qing and Yun Rong acted as her apprentices, and seeing that Lin Jingyi was having fun, they were happy to cooperate.
Some girls, attracted by Xie Qing and Yun Rong's good looks, would seek their medical attention even when they weren't sick. Lin Jingyi would always let the two of them deal with these situations themselves.
"Young master, being a wandering doctor is no good. Why not come back with me and become my son-in-law?" At this moment, a plump girl dressed in bright colors, but all her clothes were made of fine fabric, said to Yun Rong with a sly smile.
Yun Rong looked helplessly at Lin Jingyi, who was diligently writing prescriptions for the patient. She had no choice but to bite the bullet and say:
"Thank you for your kind offer, but I already have someone I love."
The plump young lady covered her face and wept: "I would be willing to marry you as your concubine..."
As the plump young lady spoke, she got up to sit on Yun Rong's lap.
Yun Rong jumped up and moved away from the fat girl.
"Young master... I feel a tightness in my chest..." the girl said, pulling Xie Qing's hand towards her chest.
Xie Qing's face turned pale: "Men and women should not touch each other. Please have some self-respect, young lady."
"Don't doctors see patients regardless of gender?"
……
This kind of thing happened frequently, and eventually the two of them couldn't stand it anymore, so they also made themselves look ugly.
Lin Jingyi also teased the two, saying, "Big brother and senior brother are considered rare beauties in the martial arts world. Isn't it a waste of such good looks to dress up like this?"
What followed was a sharp rap on the head from Xie Qing.
"You're good-looking too; dressed as a man, you'd definitely be a dashing young man. How about this, I'll play the master, and you can be the apprentice?"
Lin Jingyi smiled and shook his head in refusal.
After hearing Lin Jingyi's words, Yun Rong's ears turned red and her eyes were fixed on Lin Jingyi.
At that time, Lin Jing was also arguing with Xie Qing, but he also noticed Yun Rong's gaze.
I can only pretend I didn't see it.
Six months later, three long-bearded old men, two tall and one short, rode horses and carried a banner that read "Helping the World with Medicine" to the border of the Yun Kingdom.
Fortunately, there is no war now, so it was easy for the group to enter the Yun Kingdom.
After passing twelve more checkpoints, we will reach the royal palace of the Yun Kingdom.
