Chapter 482 Disease
Anyone with ears could hear what he was saying; it was an undisguised provocation and threat.

Zhu Yu couldn't help but glance at Yan Daoxin, feeling that his move was somewhat risky.

She knew Yan Daoxin's considerations. He must have known that in the past year or so, King Fan had seen countless doctors and sorcerers who came seeking advancement. He had probably seen all sorts of people, some with real skills and others who were just there to swindle.

If you don't show some arrogance and pride, it might be really hard to gain the other party's trust.

On the other hand, judging from the various rumors they had heard before, it seemed that no doctor could actually leave this place safely after treating Brahma.

The state that Brahma was in looked so strange. Even if Yan Daoxin had the ability to cure him, it was hard to say whether the other party would be worried about ruining his reputation and choose to kill him to silence him.

Yan Daoxin's words were a way of giving Fan Wang a heads-up, letting him know that the people in front of him were not ordinary doctors from the martial arts world, and that he could not simply kill them off.

This is certainly necessary and reasonable, but...

Nobody knows what kind of methods this Brahma King uses. What if saying this directly angers him? Would he simply order his guards to drag them away and behead them in a fit of rage?
Now, all Zhu Yu can do is silently hope that this Brahma King is not someone who is easily provoked, and that he should cherish his life and not do anything impulsive.

After hearing Yan Daoxin's words, Brahma did not speak immediately. Instead, he looked him up and down with his bulging eyes, his expression making it difficult to guess his true feelings.

"Hahaha, indeed a great teacher produces a great student! This disciple of Qiyun Mountain speaks with quite an impressive air!" After a moment of silence, Brahma suddenly laughed and nodded to Yan Daoxin, "With such courage, you'd better also have matching medical skills, otherwise..."

Zhu Yu lowered his eyes, waiting for what would follow "otherwise," guessing that it wouldn't be anything good. But after waiting, he didn't hear anything more. He couldn't help but look up, and only then did he realize that something was wrong.

The Brahma King stood motionless, half-leaning there, as if frozen in place, with only his eyes still moving.

His face was flushed red, many times more so than before, his chest heaved violently, and his nostrils flared dramatically. He looked like someone you couldn't quite describe.

Upon seeing this, the eunuch immediately understood what was going on and quickly stepped forward to help the King of Brahma to his feet, then escorted him into the inner palace.

Yan Daoxin had seen all of this and was now waiting for the remaining eunuch to call him so that he could go inside to take the Brahma King's pulse and then administer acupuncture or medicine as soon as possible to alleviate the sudden symptoms.

The remaining eunuch simply walked over, lowered the curtain he had just lifted, and then hurriedly ran away.

The five people left behind looked at each other, somewhat bewildered.

"Where...did they go?" Zhu Yu asked, somewhat puzzled.

Yan Daoxin pursed her lips: "There's probably some familiar method that can calm this Brahma King down first." Zhu Yu frowned, remained silent for a while, looked around, and seeing that no one was around and that the Brahma King had been helped to the inner hall by two eunuchs without any further movement, she moved closer to Lu Qing.

Knowing how good Lu Qing's hearing was, she spoke to him in her softest voice, "I feel like something's not quite right..."

Logically speaking, shouldn't the runes and talismans have been stopped back in the front courtyard?

"Many witch doctors here, just as Yan Daoxin said, have a more elaborate witchcraft style than practicing medicine, so they often need to set up altars to do some rituals, and inevitably bring along protectors and the like."

"But it's indeed unusual that they didn't ask or stop us. After all, this is the Prince's residence." Lu Qing nodded slightly and replied softly.

“There’s one more thing,” Zhu Yu said to him, “walking through the entire palace, from front to back, have you ever seen a single mirror, let alone a pond that could reflect your image?”
The bedchamber was filled with all sorts of gauze curtains, things that obstructed the view, as if... they didn't want the king to see his current appearance with his own eyes.

Over there, the arrogant guards of the royal palace are searching everywhere for young girls, while the guards inside the palace are showing a lack of vigilance towards outsiders, not to mention the strange layout of the palace...

She looked at Lu Qing with some concern, though she couldn't see his expression through the curtain: "I can't help but worry that it's not just us who want to see this king; there are others who also want us to see him."

"Have we walked right into a trap they've set?"

"Don't worry, there's always a way out. Going with the flow is also a good strategy." Lu Qingwei's veil trembled slightly, clearly indicating that he was gently shaking his head inside.

Since Lu Qing was aware of the situation, Zhu Yu breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that Lu Qing would never do anything impulsive or risky, and since someone had already taken precautions, she didn't need to worry unnecessarily.

After a while, several people came in from outside. The eunuch who had just left returned with two other eunuchs, each of whom was holding the hand of a richly dressed woman.

Judging from their clothes and attire, they seemed to be the concubines and beauties in the backyard of the Brahma Palace. However, the two women's terrified expressions made something seem amiss.

More importantly, the Brahma King's behavior just now clearly indicated that something was wrong with his body. In this situation, even if the shaman in the royal palace who was not very skilled was found, or if a bowl of medicine was brought, it would make more sense.

What...you brought two bewildered women here...what are you planning to do?
Based on his instinctive deduction, Zhu Yu could come up with an answer in his mind. After all, in the palace of a vassal king, a eunuch hurriedly ran to bring a woman over, and considering the King's expression and reaction...

However, this answer is too unreasonable and outrageous, so much so that even if she made the connection, she was unwilling to believe that such a possibility existed.

However, she soon learned a lesson from the facts—sometimes, you have to believe the objective facts you see with your own eyes, no matter how outrageous or beyond your usual common sense.
