Chapter 995: Search for the Godly Doctor

How was the situation in the capital now? Ning Shu felt that after this long, Xuan Xiaotian had probably given up searching for Xuan Hongyu. After all, it had almost been a year.
They had already reached the Western Regions. However, the Western Regions was a collective term and no one knew where exactly the godly doctor was.
Xuan Hongyu wasn’t in a rush. He didn’t even seem to be that concerned, so Ning Shu just spent her free time slowly asking around about the godly doctor.
Ning Shu asked Xuan Hongyu, “Master, do you still want to know about what’s happening with Shangguan Qingrou?”
“Of course,” replied Xuan Hongyu matter-of-factly.
Ning Shu: ...
She shouldn’t have asked.
“Eleven, say, how do you think Shangguan Qingrou and Xuan Xiaotian are doing now?” Xuan Hongyu started chatting with Ning Shu.
The mother of a nation was pinned with the reputation of having lost her chastity. There was no way the ministers would allow a woman with a ruined reputation to be the master of the inner palace.
Shangguan Qingrou’s situation probably wasn’t very good. Things would depend on whether Xuan Xiaotian would be able to block the external world’s pressure for her.
Love could only grow and thrive if the people could withstand the attacks of reality. However, many loves, more often than not, were defeated by cruel reality. Xuan Xiaotian, in particular, was the monarch of a nation. If he wanted to defend his position as emperor, he had to make some sacrifices.
The question was whether Xuan Xiaotian would sacrifice his true love.
Love was a very frail and illusory thing. It was possible to fall in love with a person due to just a glance, but love could also dissipate very quickly. It was like a mirage.
What Ning Shu sought was not to have someone by her side that loved her, but to be able to live carefreely in the hundreds of thousands of worlds. She wanted to be able to keep living and see the skies of every plane.
After meeting Xuan Hongyu, Ning Shu felt even more strongly that being a single dog was pretty good. If she encountered someone like Xuan Hongyu, life would directly become a tragedy. Things were already this painful when she was simply Xuan Hongyu’s subordinate, she couldn’t imagine what it was like for Shangguan Qingrou.
“This subordinate doesn’t know how Miss Shangguan is doing,” replied Ning Shu.
Xuan Hongyu sat down on the carriage and propped up his chin with his hand. His hair fell over his shoulders slightly and some strands lifted in the wind. The view of his back was killer, but his front was filled with sores. “This prince actually hopes that Shangguan Qingrou would be empress for a lifetime.”
Ning Shu glanced at him. His conscience has flared up!?
“That way, they could torment each other for a lifetime,” said Xuan Hongyu.
Ning Shu: →_→
So evil!
“Master, you can endure Miss Shangguan being at someone else’s side?” asked Ning Shu. This wasn’t Xuan Hongyu’s style.
Xuan Hongyu glanced at Ning Shu then said faintly, “Of course not. Even if it’s going to be mutual torment, it should be with this prince.”
There was seriously no point chatting with a nutjob.
Ning Shu eventually managed to find the godly doctor. The godly doctor was a very old man whose long beard was completely white. As he took Xuan Hongyu’s pulse, his hand even shook.
After checking the pulse, he didn’t say anything and just wrote a prescription that was to be taken three times a day.
Xuan Hongyu didn’t really like this godly doctor. After running all the way here, traveling several thousand miles, this was the godly doctor?
Ning Shu put away the prescription and started simmering it for Xuan Hongyu every day, three times a day. It was always a huge ocean-like bowl. Xuan Hongyu drank so much of this medicine that his face turned green.
And it didn’t seem to have much effect.
“Head to Jiang Province,” said Xuan Hongyu.
Ning Shu was surprised. “What for?”
Xuan Hongyu’s eyes narrowed slightly as he rubbed a copper tiger-shaped item.
