"No Wedding Unless Enemies and Lovers" 《不是冤家不拜堂》Chapter 162

 The old emperor smiled: "I didn't think the miracle doctor doesn't only practice medicine to save people but even think of the world, it really is hard to come by, hard to come by."

Bai Mo was invited by Ru Ge, hearing this miracle doctor came from Dongqi, he could only be on guard, Ru Ge disappeared for three months supposedly in Dongqi, he was somewhat moved, this son of his was so filial to look everywhere for a famous doctor.

The old emperor was touched, how was he to know Ru Ge and Bai Mo wasn't actually very close, he also wasn't invited by Ru Ge, this wasn't important, the most important was his condition had improved.

With this illness, it made him see a lot of people and things very clearly...

Bai Mo cupped his hands smiling: "This subordinate is from Dongqi, as a commoner I naturally wish for peace and no war, that's why...this subordinate dared to stay longer in Dayan."

"Hahaha!" The old emperor brightly smiled, "You're afraid we'll eat you, fights between two countries won't lead to doctors being beheaded, that's been the rule since ancient times, don't worry we are a fair ruler and won't abandon one's benefactor upon achieving ones goal."

The saying goes offend anyone but a doctor, especially a doctor with great skills.

In this era there was a shortage of medical treatments and resources, if a doctor has their head chopped off in a fit of anger, when one gets ill in the future, who would treat you?

Bai Mo laughed: "Thank you your majesty." Seeing the old emperor fully of vitality, and wouldn't cause trouble for him a Dongqi miracle doctor.

Since the incident of Yuchi Gong Ru killing a chain of people before the new year in Dongqi, it was challenging the national prestige of Dongqi, Xiao Yi Mo patted the table with a written war challenge wanting Dayan to take responsibility, otherwise they would meet on the battlefield.

Dongqi and Dayan's situation was tense, Xiao Yi Chen bringing Ji Ling Xue here and taking advantage of the situation to seek revenge on Yuchi Gong Ru, it was also to see what Dayan's attitude was, after all Dayan's old emperor was of some age, the next emperor would decide the fate of Dongqi and Dayan.

In order to not disturb Xiao Yi Chen and Ji Ling Xue in their own world, he made the first move, he reached the gates of Dayan's palace, he just happened to come across Ru Ge going to seek a doctor, as a famous miracle doctor he was brought into the palace, it was hospitable, but he knew the old emperor wasn't at ease with him, these past few days he had always been watched.

The old emperor was happy, calling for the eunuch at the side, instructing him to take Bai Mo to rest, at night he arranged for a great banquet to welcome Bai Mo.

Bai Mo gladly accepted, following the eunuch out.

The old emperor got off the couch, stretching his waist, deeply sighing: "The sun feels so good today!"

At this moment, Ru Ge's residence.

Ji Ling Xue opened her eyes, Ji Ling Xue who was used to being held asleep at night by Xiao Yi Chen looked at the empty space beside her in the bed, she felt an indescribable lost, like something was missing in her heart, empty.

"Why didn't Xiao Yi Chen return last night?" She muttered, getting out of bed she got changed.

Ji Ling Xue left the room, and as usual headed to the reception pavilion, inside the reception pavilion Ru Ge was already sitting there, a sumptuous breakfast placed in front of him.

Seeing Ji Ling Xue arrive, Ru Ge lips turned into a smile, line of sight falling behind Ji Ling Xue, astonishment streaking across his eyes, he was already used to seeing the two of them coming and going every day, joined at the hip, suddenly it was rather odd to see one less person.

"Don't look, Xiao Yi Chen has disappeared..." Ji Ling Xue sat down opposite Ru Ge, pouring a cup of tea she drank it in one mouthful, her tone was very calm.

Ru Ge said: "He didn't come back last night, nothing happened to him right, this prince can send people to secretly take a look."

He knew how Xiao Yi Chen's martial arts was, only he couldn't understand why Xiao Yi Chen didn't return for the whole night, could he really have been hindered by Yuchi Gong Ru?

Ji Ling Xue waved her hand: "We entered the capital city secretly, his status is also so special, your action would alert others and ruin his plans."

Seeing Ji Ling Xue wasn't worried at all, Ru Ge smiled making fun of her: "You have a lot of confidence in him, you're not afraid he didn't return last night because he went to the red-light district?"

Ji Ling Xue picked up her chopsticks taking a piece of meat, having heard what was said she looked at Ru Ge and laughed: "Men, going there is normal..."

Ru Ge: "You're so generous, prince Chen is fortunate to have such a wife."

Generous? Ji Ling Xue laughed, she has never been generous, if Xiao Yi Chen was really that kind of man, there would be more than a single heir in the prince Chen's residence right now.

She silently finished eating breakfast, Ji Ling Xue was about to get up, a guard quickly walked over to Ru Ge, cupping his hands in greetings: "Master, a message came from the palace, inviting master to participate in the banquet tonight to welcome the miracle doctor."

Ji Ling Xue raised an eyebrow, Dayan's old emperor actually recovered from his illness? She turned to look at Ru Ge, Ru Ge nodded and waved his hand, sending the guard away.

Ji Ling Xue got impatient, opening her mouth to ask: "Bai Mo that old emperor father's illness has been treated? It's indeed worthy of celebrating."

Bai Mo's medical skills were pretty good, but not to the extent of bringing the dead back to life, on the way to Dayan she heard Dayan's emperor was seriously ill, how could he recover so quickly.

Ru Ge nodded: "That is only temporary, Bai Mo told me before, emperor father has been taking one kind of medicine all year long, the poison has reached the bottom of his heart, its impossible to eradicate it completely, he only supressed it by curing the effects."

Ji Ling Xue followed up: "Who poisoned your emperor father?" To be able to poison a ruler of a nation, it must be someone very close to him, because he trusted them he wasn't on guard.

Ru Ge shook his head, "That I don't know, I don't have the ability to look into it, maybe emperor father knows himself, but he isn't willing to say, and isn't willing to punish the person who poisoned him."

Ji Ling Xue shook her head, the thoughts of an emperor was hard to guess, he knew it was poisonous but still took it, perfectly happy to do so, how much does he like the person who poisoned him?

Momentarily, the reception pavilion fell silent, there was only the sound of spoon lightly touching a bowl.

Ji Ling Xue asked: "Ru Ge, at the palace banquet tonight, can I attend?"

She wanted to take a look at the palace, was Xiao Yi Chen hiding in the palace.

Ru Ge nodded, not asking for the reason, Ji Ling Xue helped him a lot, as for her little request, it could be considered repaying her, this was an opportunity.

Ru Ge asked: "What identity do you want to enter the palace with me?"

Ji Ling Xue looked at the men's clothes on her in distain, she was bored of disguising as a man, she ought to change outfits.

Ji Ling Xue said: "You lack a maid right?"

Ru Ge laughed, he clapped, immediately two maids walked over, bowing at Ji Ling Xue, "Young lady, please follow us."

At night, Ji Ling Xue was wearing a maid's outfit, a peach blossom silver hairpin in her hair as she followed behind Ru Ge into the carriage, it was the first time she came to Dayan's palace, Ji Ling Xue looked around from time to time.

Ru Ge walking in front would stop and wait for Ji Ling Xue from time to time to catch up, the two of them entered one after the other into the banquet hall.

Yuchi Gong Ru was already sitting in the hall, wearing a splendid outfit looking unusually good under the candlelight, hearing the servant's announcement, he turned to look at the door, Ji Ling Xue who followed behind Ru Ge entered his sight suddenly.

Yuchi Gong Ru narrowed his eyes, this was the third time he met Ji Ling Xue face to face, the previous two times was when Ji Ling Xue had been kidnapped, wearing common clothing, hair in a mess, no figure to be spoken of.

Today seeing Ji Ling Xue dressed up, Yuchi Gong Ru felt stunned.

Xiao Yi Chen's woman was really good looking!

Yuchi Gong Ru licked the wine on his lips as he thought, a wicked smile on his lips, this woman actually participated in the palace banquet with Ru Ge, she was very bold, he can't think Ru Ge can protect her right?

Just as princess Chen of Dongqi, at his command, she could become a hostage.

While Yuchi Gong Ru's thoughts were flying around, Ru Ge walked past him, he smelt a faint scent, raising his head he glanced at Ji Ling Xue's back.

Ru Ge sat down opposite Yuchi Gong Ru, he looked at Yuchi Gong Ru who had a strange look in his eyes, after giving him a warning glance, he then looked away.

Yuchi Gong Ru sneered in his heart, this imperial brother didn't seem to pay attention to anything, he unexpectedly protected this woman a lot.

At this moment, a eunuch loudly announced "The emperor has arrived!"

Everyone in the hall neatly kowtowed to respectfully welcome him.

Ji Ling Xue took a glance, the old emperor and Bai Mo as well as...Xiao Yi Chen entered the hall after them.

Why was Xiao Yi Chen with Bai Mo? Ji Ling Xue really wanted to ask, but she couldn't in the current situation, she could only continue to keep her head lowered.

Ji Ling Xue, with her head bowed, missed the profound look Xiao Yi Chen gave her.

The old emperor sat at the main seat, smiling: "All rise!"

Yuchi Gong Ru and Yuchi Ru Ge then looked up at the old emperor, when their eyes swept over Xiao Yi Chen they were surprised.

The old emperor introduced: "Ru Ge, Gong Ru, this is Dongqi's miracle doctor Bai Mo, you ought to know him."

Yuchi Gong Ru's lips twitched, when did Xiao Yi Chen become a miracle doctor, how did he not know.

Three black lines fell down Ru Ge's forehead, was this a deliberate misrepresentation? He then looked at Bai Mo who was next to her, this was the actual person.

Bai Mo shook his head, he also didn't want someone to pretend to be him and pass off as someone else, Xiao Yi Chen used his position to pressurise him, he felt wronged.

The old emperor smiled at Xiao Yi Chen, smiling: "Miracle doctor, you've seen the two princes before, so I won't introduce you, come, come, come, sit down, serve the food!" 

He had just spoken, the maids carried refined trays, each kinds of delicious and fine food placed onto the tables, the old emperor raised the wine cup in his hand at Xiao Yi Chen, "This cup of wine is in respect to medicine, if it wasn't for the miracle doctor's magical hands, we would have passed away in our sleep on the bed."

It was because when Bai Mo was treating the old emperor, the old emperor was unconscious, when he occasionally woke up, Bai Mo had gone to dispense and brew medicine, because of this Xiao Yi Chen could fake it.

Xiao Yi Chen shook his head: "Emperor is greatly blessed, how can you speak so demoralising, come, come, come, drink, drink." He finished speaking and downed it in respect.

Ji Ling Xue stood behind Ru Ge with her lips curled, after three rounds of wine, Yuchi Gong Ru stood up saying to Xiao Yi Chen: "This prince respectfully offers the doctor a cup of wine, miracle doctor can travel so far to Dayan, it really is the good fortune of Dayan." 

He played on words regarding Xiao Yi Chen's arrival, he really was ruthless to the bones, if it wasn't for Ru Ge causing trouble then Xiao Yi Chen, he would already be the new emperor of Dayan.

Xiao Yi Chen laughed, "I don't deserve the praise from the emperor, saving a life is a doctor's duty." As he spoke he raised his head drinking the wine in the cup.

Bai Mo rolled his eyes to the sky, all the credit had been stolen by Xiao Yi Chen, he felt very bleak.
