Chapter 514 Are you practicing dual cultivation with your furnacecauldron?
Ye Qing'an and Yi Moxu got off the carriage with Eleven. As soon as they got off the carriage, they saw three eunuchs waiting outside. The one in the lead was the person next to Yi Yunkui.
The eunuch's gaze lingered on Yi Moxu's face for a long time, his eyes full of scrutiny.
Ye Qing'an quickly said, "Please don't be offended, Your Excellency. Doctor Xu has a reason for covering his face. I will personally apologize to the Emperor after we meet later."
The eunuch nodded and bowed his head: "Since Miss Ye has said so, please proceed."
"Thank you."
Yi Yun Kui and the others waited in Huayang Palace until the eunuchs led the two into the hall to pay their respects before waving his hand and saying, "Rise."
The two stood up, and Yi Yun Kui's gaze fell on Yi Mo Xu: "This is Doctor Xu? Why is he still wearing a mask?"
Although the words seemed to be addressed to Ye Qing'an, her gaze was actually fixed on Yi Moxu.
Yi Moxu lowered his eyes and bowed: "This humble subject was once framed and imprisoned, and was subjected to the punishment of facial tattooing. Later, his name was cleared and he was able to see the light of day again. However, the tattoo on my face was too frightening, so I covered my face for many years because I did not want to frighten patients."
"Tattooing your face?" Yi Yun Kui seemed to remember something, his smile turning cold: "I'm not that easily frightened. You should take off your mask."
“…Yes.” Yi Moxu responded softly, hesitated slightly before taking off his mask and raising his head.
Yi Yun Kui's gaze fell on Yi Mo Xu's face, his eyes lingered, and after a long while, he finally found his voice: "You have heterochromia?"
"Yes." Yi Moxu nodded, his eyes deep and unreadable: "Born with heterochromia, he is often regarded as a ghost."
Perhaps it was because Yi Moxu's appearance was too shocking to Yi Yunkui, Yi Yunkui remained silent for a long time. After a while, he pursed his lips. He had an eerie face, but he did medical work and saved people. It was quite interesting.
Yi Yun Kui naturally noticed the tattoo on his face as well. The tattoo had turned slightly bluish, indicating that it had been there for some years.
"If it weren't for your heterochromatic eyes and tattooed face, your appearance would probably attract women all over the world." Yi Yun Kui laughed, but there was no smile in his eyes.
He doesn't like men who are too good-looking, as it makes him feel threatened.
"I've heard your medical skills are extremely high?" Yi Yun Kui asked, his gaze sizing up Yi Mo Xu. Just looking at Yi Mo Xu's face, he looked to be only in his early twenties. Even if someone in their early twenties is exceptionally intelligent, medical skills require a lot of practice and experience to improve. What kind of superb medical skills are those if they only talk about it on paper?
Yi Moxu smiled faintly: "Whether a doctor's skills are good or not is just a matter of word of mouth among patients. If a patient is cured by me, he will think that my medical skills are good. But if a patient does not have his/her problems solved by me, he/she will think that my medical skills are not good."
"It's probably because among the people the Emperor knows in Wangjing, there are a few who have been cured by me, that's why there are such rumors."
Yi Yun Kui laughed heartily: "That's quite true, an honest man. So, quietly, is there anything I've done wrong?"
Yi Moxu raised his eyes and looked at Yi Yunkui's face. His expression was very calm. He stared at him for a while, then frowned slightly.
Seeing Yi Moxu's expression, Yi Yunkui stuck his tongue out at his cheek and sneered inwardly, "What? Is something wrong?"
"Your Majesty is in good health and has no major illnesses, but..." Yi Moxu lowered his eyes: "Has Your Majesty been...?"
Yi Moxu was halfway through her sentence when she seemed to have something difficult to say, and only raised her eyes to look at the eunuch standing in the hall.
Yi Yun Kui naturally noticed Yi Mo Xu's gaze, his expression growing even colder, but he remained silent.
"The Emperor has indeed been feeling unwell recently, and it is related to... the furnace."
"Furnace?" Yi Yun Kui narrowed his eyes suddenly, as if something had suddenly come to mind. He pursed his lips and stared intently at Yi Mo Xu, then his gaze fell on Ye Qing An and the eleventh person standing beside Ye Qing An.
"Liu Deren," Yi Yun Kui instructed the eunuch beside him, "Take the young master of Miss Ye's family to the side hall for some refreshments. Everyone else, please leave as well."
Ye Qing'an lowered her head and exchanged a glance with Eleven, both seeing the same meaning in each other's eyes: "Just as I thought."
Eleven turned to look at Yi Yun Kui, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes, and then almost subconsciously tightened her grip on Ye Qing An's hand.
Ye Qing'an gently squeezed Eleven's palm: "It's alright, go with Eunuch Liu. There's lots of good food at Eunuch Liu's place. Your mother will come to pick you up later."
"Okay." Eleven replied, hesitantly letting go of his hand, and followed behind Eunuch Liu, who had already walked to his side. He walked outside with Eunuch Liu, but every two steps he would turn back to look at Ye Qing'an, looking somewhat afraid.
Yi Yun Kui naturally saw the reactions of the mother and son. Women, especially women with children, are indeed incapable of accomplishing great things.
After all the palace servants had left, Yi Yun Kui turned to Yi Mo Xu and said, "Now that there is no one else in the hall, Physician Xu, please speak. Is there anything wrong with my body? Is it related to the furnace?"
"Yes." Yi Moxu nodded: "The Emperor must have encountered some problems while cultivating with the furnace recently."
"It's just a matter of medical diagnosis, observation, auscultation, inquiry and palpation. I can only see so much through 'observation'. If Your Majesty wishes me to take a closer look, I'm afraid I'll need to take Your Majesty's pulse."
Yi Yun Kui narrowed his eyes. What Yi Mo Xu had just said was indeed true. Recently, when he was cultivating with the furnace, he couldn't find the right method. Not only could he not increase his power quickly, but he also experienced a backflow of spiritual energy.
He originally thought it was because of the furnace, so he secretly disposed of several furnaces and replaced them, but there was no improvement.
Yi Yun Kui pondered for a moment before smiling and extending his hand: "Of course, you are someone brought by Miss Ye, so I naturally trust you."
Yi Moxu lowered his head and took two steps forward, placing his fingers on Yi Yunkui's hand.
Yi Yun Kui looked at Yi Mo Xu. Even from a distance, he already felt that this person's appearance was too outstanding. Now that the person was in front of him, he felt even more shocked.
Yi Yun Kui frowned. Such outstanding looks always reminded him of someone.
Although that person and Xu Mo in front of him had no resemblance whatsoever, he inexplicably associated the two of them together and felt inexplicably uneasy.
As Yi Yun Kui pondered, his gaze gradually drifted away...
Yi Moxu's fingers twitched slightly. He looked up and stared intently at Yi Yunkui before speaking slowly, "Are you cultivating with a furnace?"
Yi Yun Kui chuckled: "Dual cultivation? I guess you could call it dual cultivation? But sometimes there are times when we cultivate three or four times."
Upon hearing Yi Yun Kui's words, Ye Qing An immediately raised her head, her gaze intense...
