The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 799 - 383: Make Another Move (Three Updates)
Xiao Jinxing remained unmoved.
For him, there was nothing left in Xuzhou to be attached to.
"Thatโs right!" Xiaowu suddenly thought of something. ๐๐ซ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ฅ.๐๐๐
Xiao Jinxing didnโt respond.
"Do you remember that little girl?" Xiaowuโs voice grew loud, clearly excited, "During the temple fair in Xuzhou City, everyone went to worship the Empress. Then the little girl said her mommyโs medical skills are far superior to the Empressโs. I thought she was lying just to show off, but now that I think about it, perhaps her mommy is the Divine Doctor!"
Xiaowu suddenly had a moment of intelligence.
He even admired himself for being able to think of so much.
Xiao Jinxing seemed to react a bit to what Xiaowu had said.
Divine Doctor?!
This term, too, was heard in the palace.
It is said they could bring the dead back to life, comparable to a reincarnation of Hua Tuo.
And yet, he never took it seriously.
Many folk tales are just thatโtales.
Not worth full belief.
Now listening to Xiaowu saying this, and thinking about what that little girl said...
His eyes suddenly tightened, and he asked incisively, "Why is there such faith in the Empress in Xuzhou?"
"Iโll send someone to investigate right away." Xiaowu saw the Emperorโs interest and quickly responded.
Xiao Jinxing nodded.
Xiaowu quickly left.
Xiao Jinxing calmed himself down.
Last nightโs disappointment, utter disappointment, made it hard for him to think about many things.
He kept wallowing in the pain of feeling like he had lost it all over again.
However, now recalling...
What Xing Yang said was indeed logical and flawless.
It was the perfection of the answers that now made him suspect something fishy.
Why.
Those aspects he was most skeptical about, how could the other party dismiss his thoughts so easily and skillfully?
Were they prepared beforehand, had they guessed his doubts, and thus crafted all their responses in advance?!
Xiao Jinxing clenched his fists.
The flames that had been completely extinguished, at this moment, suddenly ignited wildly again.
He stayed inside the Guilai Inn, contemplating these matters while waiting for Xiaowu to return.
After a while.
Xiaowu hurried back to the inn and reported, "My lord, I just inquired several people, and everyone said the same thing."
"Years ago, Xuzhou was without reliable doctors; falling ill meant facing death. Then itโs said that a filial son, whose father was on the verge of death from a long illness, carved a statue of the Empress. Her divine medical skills were already known among the people. He then prayed to the Empress, hoping for her blessing for his father to recover, and miraculously, his father got better and was like a normal person. Since then, this event spread, and the people of Xuzhou City began to fervently believe in the Empress, thinking she could prevent them from getting sores and diseases."
Xiao Jinxing controlled his emotions and listened calmly.
"Not long after this event was known, Anโs Medical Hall was established. Nearly all the doctors in Xuzhou then gathered at the medical hall, and their medical skills miraculously improved dramatically. To this day, common diseases within Xuzhou City can be resolved with just a few prescriptions. As such, Xuzhou truly can be said to be thriving and peaceful!" Xiaowu gasped after speaking so much, paused for a moment and continued, "And the advancement in Xuzhouโs medical skills, the citizens all attribute it to the Empressโs credit, so for them, the Empress is even more effective than the Jade Emperor or Guanyin Bodhisattva."
"I want to meet that filial son." Xiao Jinxingโs voice was tinged with urgency as he struggled to remain composed.
"I have already sent people to look for him, but it might be difficult to find him since this all happened years ago, and itโs mostly passed down by word of mouth; it might not be easy to locate him in a short time," Xiaowu said, "However, I think that filial son is just a clue. I now suspect more that the mommy the little girl mentioned is the folk-rumored Divine Doctor."
Xiao Jinxingโs eyes flickered thoughtfully, remembering the words of the little girl on that day.
He nodded slightly, indicating his agreement.
"But what is a mommy?" Xiaowu was puzzled again.
He had never heard of this term before.
"Just find the little girl, and we will know." Xiao Jinxing naturally didnโt know.
Little Wu suddenly stopped talking.
Xiao Jinxing looked at him, his eyebrows tightening, "Didnโt I tell you to send her back?"
"My lord." Little Wu grimaced, "While following the little girl, I suddenly lost her because I was outwitted by another little girl. Ashamed, I did not report to the Emperor, and it was my fault, please punish me, my lord."
Xiao Jinxing obviously looked displeased.
"Iโll go find her," Little Wu quickly said.
"No need." Xiao Jinxing directly refused, "Itโs not difficult to lure out this Divine Doctor."
"Hmm?" Little Wu was surprised.
But with the Emperorโs wisdom, he indeed didnโt need to doubt.
"You just mentioned that the medical skills of Anโs Medical Hall in Langzhong have rapidly advanced."
"Yes." Little Wu quickly nodded.
"Do you truly believe itโs because the Empress is watching over from heaven?"
"So, lord, you mean that the Divine Doctor is hiding in Anโs Medical Hall." Little Wu suddenly realized.
He had been too excited just now, he hadnโt thought so much.
Once he understood, he quickly said, "Lord, Iโll immediately go and bring everyone from Anโs Medical Hall in Langzhong."
"Has the Divine Doctor never shown himself publicly?" Xiao Jinxing asked.
"Yes," Little Wu replied.
He felt somewhat displeased in his heart.
Do these people from Xuzhou all like to be so mysterious?!
An Anji Boss, so secretive.
And now this Divine Doctor, appearing and disappearing unpredictably.
Is there really something so shameful?!
"So, youโre sure you can meet him if you go?" Xiao Jinxing asked.
"How then can we meet him?" Little Wu was out of ideas.
He himself was also a military general.
Thinking was really too difficult for him.
"Very simple." Xiao Jinxingโs eyes narrowed.
As long as he uses his authority, that will do.
He said coldly, "I want to see the county magistrate of Xuzhou."
"In what capacity?"
"As the Emperor."
Little Wuโs eyes widened.
This was an incognito inspection, wasnโt it?!
Xiao Jinxing gave no further explanations.
Little Wu naturally did not dare to ask more and simply accepted the command.
And before long.
The county magistrate of Xuzhou arrived at the Guilai Inn in official attire, trembling and knelt before Xiao Jinxing, "This humble official greets the Emperor, long live, long live, long live the Emperor!"
Xiao Jinxing looked at Jiang Chengren, the middle-aged and slightly portly man, "Rise."
Jiang Chengren did not dare to rise, continually kneeling on the ground, "This humble official did not know of the Emperorโs arrival in Xuzhou and failed to welcome you immediately; I deserve to die a thousand deaths."
"I came incognito, and indeed I had no wish for others to know I was in Xuzhou. Today I summoned you for one thing only."
"It is this humble officialโs greatest honor to serve the Emperor; I am ready to die thousands of times!"
