Chapter 391: The Whereabouts of the Heart of Darkness
Chapter 393 Visiting Lieyang Castle again (II)
The huge room was filled with solemn atmosphere. The woman who had just passed out of coma was the third princess of the Lieyang Empire, Princess Mana.
Princess Mana has long, black and shiny hair, her beautiful eyes are soft and gentle as water. The delicate body of Wulu Fufeng seems to collapse when it is tortured by illness, but her skin is a bit unhealthy pale.
Looking at Princess Mana who was unconscious, an old man in white robe looked sore, and his tone seemed to be a roar of a wild beast, saying, "Master Barron, Princess Princess..."
Today is the second time that Princess Mana has developed ill within these thirty days. Looking back, it has been one year, only once every two years. However, as Princess Mana grows older, the period between the onset is getting shorter and shorter, from the first two years, one year... to this day, it will occur once every ten days.
Under the long-term pain and torture, Princess Mana's pretty face has long lost her youthful vitality, and she is full of fatigue. Even if she has fallen into a coma, her expression is still tense.
"The princess's condition is becoming increasingly dangerous. Not only is the time between the onset shorter, but the pain is gradually increasing every time. Today, you even have to use violent agents to relieve the princess' pain. Alas... the princess has worked hard for too long. After the last few months of life, I really can't bear to see His princess continue to suffer. Since that's the case, it's better..." Speaking of this, Barron was silent for a while, and then continued: "I will advise Your Majesty. If Princess Mana gets sick again, I hope that you can get your Majesty's permission to free Princess Mana from the torture of the illness."
The old man who spoke was named Barron. He was recognized as the number one doctor in the Lieyang Empire, but he did not belong to the imperial royal family. He would appear in the Lieyang Castle today just to treat Princess Mana's illness. For this reason, he has frequently entered and exited Lieyang Castle in recent years, at least hundreds of times, but he was helpless and still failed to solve Princess Mana's illness.
"..." Hearing what Baron said, a group of royal doctors remained silent. They knew very well that if Princess Mana's condition did not improve, she could only live for one to two months at most. However, according to Princess Mana's current situation, the princess would probably have been sick at least twice in this to two months, and the accompanying pain would definitely be even more severe than today.
Everyone understands that if you continue to live, it has become a torture for the woman in front of you.
Barron laughed at himself: When Princess Mana dies, this matter may become a regret for me throughout my life. Haha... Even the disease caused by His Royal Highness the Princess cannot be detected. It is ridiculous that everyone even calls me the first doctor.
After years of treatment, he is undoubtedly the person who knows the princess's physical condition best. However, even so, he still failed to find out the cause of the disease. The title of the first doctor is simply a sarcasm to him.
Hearing the gentle breath of the woman on the bed, Barron looked at the people around him and said, "The princess now needs to rest, let's all leave first."
Hearing this, the doctors nodded, let down their footsteps, and quickly left Princess Mana's dormitory.
"Teacher Barron, is there really no other way to treat Mana?" When everyone left, the person who spoke was a middle-aged man. Among the elderly doctors, he was only about forty years old, and he seemed particularly abrupt.
His name is Moda. He is kind and simple by nature. He vows to use medical skills to save the world's illnesses and sufferings. He is the only disciple Barron accepted in his life.
Hearing what Moda said, Barron did not answer his question, but instead glared and scolded: "Non-no, how can you call His Highness the Princess's name directly?"
"Teacher, I was wrong!" After being scolded by Barron, Moda shrank his head. He didn't look like a middle-aged man, but he was more like a child who was scolded for doing something wrong.
Seeing Moda, who was hunched up like an ostrich, Baron was not beaten or scolded, he had to say helplessly: "Oh...forget it, I know that your personality is like this. Fortunately, there are no outsiders now, but you must remember that you must not call His Highness the Princess so presumptuously in front of everyone."
Moda nodded, and after seeing that Barron had no intention of continuing to blame him, he asked the previous question and said, "Teacher, are you really helpless?"
Although Moda did not specify it, Baron naturally understood that he was referring to Princess Mana. Suddenly, Baron shook his head regretfully, did not directly answer this question, but said, "Let's go, go to Jin to meet His Majesty with your teacher."
After speaking, Barron walked out of Princess Mana's dormitory. Seeing this, Moda was lost for a while, and then followed in a panic.
※※※※
When Barron arrived at the audition hall, Emperor Ogden had already sat in the first place, his expression was calm, as if he had learned about Barron's arrival in advance.
Ogden, the emperor of a country, this middle-aged man who has overwhelmed his power has become a bit sad recently. The reason is self-evident, and it is for his daughter who has been suffering since childhood.
"Master Barron." Seeing Barron's arrival, Ogden nodded slightly. Although he did not stand up to greet him directly, in his capacity, this was already a great etiquette.
Barron bent down respectfully and said ashamed: "Your Majesty said that, "Master, please forgive me for being so shameless." As Barron bowed respectfully, Moda, who was bent down, dared not look directly at the person in front of him.
As soon as Barron's words came out, Ogden's expression showed a little loss. From what Barron said, he had already noticed what Barron wanted to express.
The feeling of loss flashed away, and soon Ogden returned to his usual calmness and said slowly: "Master Barron does not need to blame himself. If Mana's fate is like this, even the most powerful doctor will be unable to make a comeback. Mana can prolong her life to this day. Master Barron's efforts are invaluable, and he will be rewarded without guilt in terms of the meaning."
"Your Majesty is so powerful that I admire you deeply." Barron said respectfully and then went straight to the topic, saying, "I have something to ask for when I come this time. This matter may make Your Majesty unhappy. However, I hope Your Majesty can give up."
Ogden frowned slightly and said indifferently: "Master Barron said it's okay."
Barron was so keen. Although Ogden's frowning behavior was not noticeable, he still noticed it. However, remembering the painful appearance of Princess Mana when she was sick, the kind old man still bit the bullet and remained silent for a while, lowered his head and asked, "...If the princess becomes ill again, I hope that your Majesty can give up and let His Majesty be relieved from the torture of illness."
As soon as his tone fell, the atmosphere of the scene was extremely serious. In an instant, an imperial aura swept across the audience. The expression on Ogden's face was gloomy and sunny, as if there was a possibility of an outbreak at any time.
Under the cover of the emperor's aura, everyone below felt difficulty breathing and was panicked. Moda stared at his teacher with a worried look on his face.
The silence lasted for a few minutes, and the scene was silent and no one dared to speak out. However, at this moment, an old man in black robe seemed to have not noticed the severity of the atmosphere and suddenly appeared beside Ogden.
As soon as the old man in black robe appeared, he immediately murmured in Ogden's ear. Suddenly, Ogden's expression changed and he shouted softly: "Okay, let him try it, you go and invite him immediately."
