Chapter 579: Give Trouble Where It's Due, Mediocre Physician Can Infect

Deng Mo showed a puzzled expression. For the Demon Slaying Department, Eunuch Li was indeed a rare visitor. 

In the past, when His Majesty had instructions for the Demon Slaying Department, they were usually delivered by people from the Prison Department.

Qin Feng couldn’t help but shrink a little, thinking to himself, ‘Could it be that Eunuch Li is summoning me to teach Princess Anya’s cultivation?’

That wouldn’t be possible. Just last night, he had caused a crisis of trust, and the next day, he was going to meet with this person again. If the wives found out about this, it would be like falling into a mud pit – whatever that meant, it wouldn’t be good…

Led by the Demon Slayer, Eunuch Li climbed up to the attic and spoke as soon as he entered, “Young Master Qin, it was quite difficult for me to find you.”

Damn it… Qin Feng’s face stiffened. “Why did Eunuch Li come to find me?”

Eunuch Li glanced at Deng Mo beside him, hesitated, and then said nothing.

Chief Deng understood and nodded. “I’ll get out of the way first. If you have anything to say, you guys can talk to yourselves.”

Just as he was about to leave, Eunuch Li stopped him. “Actually, this matter concerns Chief Deng as well. There’s no need for you to leave.”

After pausing for a moment, Eunuch Li continued, “Just last night, the Physician in charge of treating Chief Deng, Physician Qian, died in the mansion. The cause of death was diagnosed as a sudden stroke.”

Deng Mo’s expression darkened and Qin Feng’s eyebrows furrowed.

Perhaps one case could be dismissed as a coincidence, but when it happens twice, it becomes suspicious.

Remembering what had been said earlier about the animosity within the Imperial Physician’s team, both men began to speculate.

Deng Mo asked, “Have any anomalies been discovered?”

Eunuch Li shook his head. “After Physician Pang’s case, Emperor Ming naturally took extra precautions and sent officials from the prison department to ensure the safety of all imperial Physicians.”

“Even last night, when Physician Qian and his wife were intimate, there were guards outside the room and no abnormalities were found.”

“The prison department is indeed dedicated…” Qin Feng’s eyes showed admiration. In the long night, listening to those seductive sounds, how could an ordinary man endure it?

On the other hand, Physician Qian was no longer young. He’s really strong at his age and still have the ability for such activities.

Qin Feng asked again, “Did the Physician who examined the bodies find any problems?”

“No, that is why I specifically came to see Young Master Qin, hoping that you could re-examine the bodies of the deceased Physicians.”

After a moment of thought, Qin Feng agreed, “In that case, please lead the way, Eunuch Li.”

Deng Mo beside them also said, “Since I have nothing else to do, I’ll come with you to take a look. Perhaps there is a high-level practitioner of the Hundred Ghost Dao who has used a method you don’t know about.”

Eunuch Li looked hesitant. “But Chief Deng, your health…”

Deng Mo waved his hand. “It’s fine. With the treatment I received from this young man earlier, my body has recovered a lot, far beyond what it was before.”

Eunuch Li was stunned for a moment, then carefully examined Deng Mo and was shocked. Compared to before, Chief Deng’s complexion was indeed much improved.

But Qin Feng only received the order from Emperor Ming yesterday, and in just half an hour from his arrival at the Demon Slaying Department today, he was able to achieve such results?

‘The medical skills of the Qin family’s boy must have already reached the peak. No wonder His Majesty chose him to replace the deceased Physician.’

‘If he can truly cure Chief Deng, then the troubles caused by the Asura Clan in the Eastern Territory will be temporarily alleviated.’ Eunuch Li sighed inwardly, even more eager for the upcoming examination of the bodies to yield results.

…

Led by Eunuch Li, Qin Feng and the others quickly arrived at the hut where the bodies of the two Physicians were kept.

The bodies of the two Physicians were properly preserved, with ice around them to provide cold, ensuring that the bodies would not decompose rapidly in a short time.

There were also three men dressed as Imperial Physicians over there, examining the body with silver needles.

Eunuch Li pointed to the three and explained, “His Majesty has always been suspicious about the deaths of the two Imperial Physicians, so he has had the Imperial Physicians examine the bodies continuously.”

“Unfortunately, they have found nothing so far.”

Qin Feng nodded slightly. Those who could become emperors were all meticulous thinkers, so he wasn’t surprised.

Upon seeing Eunuch Li, the three Imperial Physicians immediately bowed respectfully. The eldest of them stepped forward submissively and said, “We have found nothing unusual so far. Please, Eunuch Li, convey to His Majesty our request for a few more days of grace.”

Although it was bitterly cold in here, with temperatures much lower than outside, beads of sweat formed on the old man’s forehead. It was unclear whether it was from exhaustion from examining the bodies, or fear of Emperor Ming’s accusations.

Or perhaps both?

Qin Feng glanced at the three men – two elderly and one middle-aged – who were part of the Imperial Physician’s team he had met at the palace yesterday. It was likely that they were the ones Emperor Ming had summoned to re-examine the bodies.

Eunuch Li replied, “I am not here on His Majesty’s orders, but because you have not yet produced satisfactory results. That is why His Majesty sent Master Qin here to re-examine the bodies.”

Upon hearing this, the three Imperial Physicians looked at Qin Feng in unison.

Qin Feng’s reputation in the Imperial City was now outstanding, and they naturally recognised him.

Moreover, it was this young lord who had solved the mysterious meridian damage ailments that had plagued the palace’s Imperial Physicians, as well as the strange epidemic that had occurred in the Imperial City on the night of the New Year Festival.

It was no exaggeration to say that this person’s medical skills surpassed those of most of the Imperial Physicians in the palace, and even the old Imperial Physicians were no match for him.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged Imperial Physician exclaimed excitedly, “So you are the famous Master Qin! Today, I finally have the honour of meeting you in person!”

Curious, Qin Feng asked, “And you are?”

“I understand if Master Qin doesn’t recognise me. My name is Chen Nian, I am also an imperial physician in the palace.” 

“I often heard about Master Qin’s glorious deeds in treating the imperial family.” 

“It’s well known that it’s extremely difficult to attain enlightenment in the Literature Saint Dao Lineage through medical skills. But Master Qin has gradually reached his current level, even attracting Heavenly Tribulation at the fourth level. It’s truly amazing!”

After a pause, Chen Nian continued, “At first, I was worried about my limited abilities and feared that I might disappoint His Majesty’s trust by failing to detect any problems with the bodies. But with Master Qin here, I no longer have to worry. With your medical skills, I’m sure you’ll find some clues!”

The people present were all experienced individuals who immediately understood the implicit meaning behind his words.

Deng Mo and Eunuch Li frowned slightly.

The two elderly Imperial Physicians showed a hint of joy in their eyes and immediately echoed Chen Nian’s sentiments.

Although the words seemed to express admiration, they were actually praising Qin Feng.

If the problem could be discovered and His Majesty wasn’t angry, everyone would be happy. 

If the problem couldn’t be discovered and His Majesty was angry, Qin Feng would bear the brunt of it, as his medical skills were the highest among them!

Or perhaps, if even the highly skilled Qin Feng couldn’t detect any problems, it would mean that the deaths of the two Imperial Physicians were truly beyond suspicion!

In any of these three situations, all three Imperial Physicians can accept.

Qin Feng glanced at the smiling Chen Nian and raised an eyebrow.

He thought it was his fan, but he didn’t expect it to be a smiling tiger… He didn’t answer, but walked straight to the two corpses.

Seeing this, Chen Nian hurriedly stood beside him and asked, “Master Qin, do you mind if I stand here and learn a thing or two?”

Qin Feng turned his head and smiled, “I do mind. Please step aside. Mediocrity is contagious.”
