With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.

After they finished their dinner, Nangong Wu sent the three children and Li Shuang and her son into the space.

"Let's go! Let's go for a walk and visit your father while we're at it." Nangong Wu raised her hand, and a medicine box appeared in her hand. She then stepped outside.

Although Emperor Nanqi underwent hemodialysis, he still had to monitor the patient's vital signs more than three times a day.

"Let me carry it!" Bei Chenyan took the medicine box from her and went out of the palace with her.

"When I came back, I had already seen my father. He said your treatment was very effective, and he felt much better. He also seemed to be in much more spirits than before."

"Mm." Nangong Wu nodded slightly.

He underwent dialysis and was prescribed the best medication. How could it be anything but good?

Inside the Yikun Palace, Emperor Nanqi, knowing that Nangong Wu would be coming, sat on the dragon bed in his nightgown, waiting for them.

Eunuch Yu entered and reported, "Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince and Physician Huo have arrived."

"Let them in. From now on, when the Crown Prince or the divine physician comes, there's no need to announce their arrival. Let them come in directly," Emperor Nanqi ordered.

"This old servant obeys the decree!" Eunuch Yu bowed and responded, then withdrew to invite Bei Chenyan and Nangong Wu in. He then discreetly closed the door to the bedchamber and stood guard outside, holding a whisk in his arms.

"Your son greets Your Majesty."

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Bei Chenyan and Nangong Wu bowed to Emperor Nanqi.

"You've arrived, no need for formalities!" The Southern Qi Emperor, looking at Nangong Wu's rather ordinary-looking face, asked the question that had been nagging at him for the past two days:

"The princess's appearance is quite different from the portrait; she must not look like her original self, right?"

He had seen Nangong Wu's portrait before. The first time he saw her, she had a scar on her face. Later, her face was healed, and she grew into an extremely beautiful woman with exquisite features that could topple kingdoms.

"No." Nangong Wu shook her head, but did not intend to remove the fake leather mask. "I wore the fake leather mask for convenience when I was out and about."

"Indeed," Emperor Nanqi understood.

"Your Majesty, let me examine your body." Nangong Wu first observed the extent of Emperor Nanqi's edema, and then asked him if he had any difficulty breathing.

Then she opened the medicine box, took out a blood pressure monitor and a medical record folder, and first took the blood pressure of Emperor Nanqi.

After taking her blood pressure, she wrote it down on her medical record card.

After testing her blood pressure, she took out a medical-grade electronic scale and weighed Emperor Nanqi.

The Emperor of Nanqi looked at the strange and unusual things she took out, things he had never seen before, and was very curious.

"The princess truly lives up to her reputation as a divine physician; the things she uses are all extraordinary."

The imperial physician examined him by taking his pulse and looking at his tongue and eyes.

This Nangong Wu is quite something; her diagnosis completely breaks away from the traditional method of pulse taking. Perhaps she really can save his life.

"Father, these are instruments for treating illnesses. They can detect what's wrong with the human body, and they're much more accurate than taking a pulse," Bei Chenyan explained to Emperor Nanqi, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Nangong Wu ignored them and wrote down the results of the examination she had given to Emperor Nanqi.

She then asked about Emperor Nanqi's urine output, as these are key indicators for assessing his condition.

This made the Emperor of Southern Qi very embarrassed.

It was quite embarrassing for the daughter-in-law to ask her father-in-law about his urination.

"this……"

The imperial physicians also inquired about these situations, but they used very euphemistic language when they asked.

Helpless, Bei Chenyan patiently explained to him, "Father, the princess asked you these questions, just answer truthfully. They are all to understand your condition and to cure you as soon as possible."

"I understand!" Emperor Nanqi saw that Nangong Wu's expression was calm and she did not feel embarrassed at all about asking such a private matter, so he answered her question frankly.

After examining Emperor Nanqi, Nangong Wu prescribed some medicine and wrote down how to take it and other precautions on a piece of paper, which she then placed on the table for Eunuch Yu.

Emperor Nanqi was in a good mood. "This afternoon, the Medicine King came to examine me and said that my condition has improved, which surprised me greatly."

Princess Runing, the Medicine King also said that if you can cure the poison in my body, he will want to become your disciple. He asked me to ask for your opinion on his behalf.

The Medicine King said, "If you agree to take him as your disciple, you can use any medicinal herbs in the entire Medicine King Valley, and you can even use the Medicine King's name to become famous throughout the world."

The Medicine King is a universally recognized divine physician, and his medicines are the best, priceless. Not to mention ordinary people, even emperors from various countries might not be able to see the Medicine King in person.

If it weren't for his connection with the Medicine King, he wouldn't have been able to find anyone. Yet this medical prodigy actually said he wanted to become Nangong Wu's apprentice! He even wanted to use the name of Medicine King Valley to promote her—a very tempting offer.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Wu's expression turned cold, and she directly refused, "I will not accept disciples." The tone of the Medicine King's words made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

She said that if she could cure the poison of the Southern Qi Emperor, the Medicine King would become her disciple.

What if he can't cure Emperor Nanqi's illness? Will he then refuse to become her disciple? This is an attitude tinged with arrogance. The fact that a generation of Medicine King would become her disciple and use the name of Medicine King Valley to promote her is as if it were an honor. It's utterly ridiculous!

She knew perfectly well what this Medicine King was up to!

If she can cure the Southern Qi Emperor's illness, then becoming her disciple is simply to find out how she treats him.

He clearly wanted to learn her medical skills and that's why he wanted to become her disciple, but his attitude was condescending, lacking any of the humility one should have when seeking knowledge.

She doesn't care about the name of Medicine King Valley!

"The princess disagrees?" Emperor Nanqi was taken aback by her words, not expecting her to refuse.

"Father, the princess doesn't need to earn money by treating people." Bei Chenyan also saw through the Medicine King's intentions and felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"You're right! It was my brain that was confused!" Emperor Nanqi also realized this.

He was misled by the words of the Medicine King, thinking that ordinary people hope to become famous, be worshipped and admired, and also gain wealth.

But Nangong Wu is no ordinary person; she is already famous throughout the land! Why would she covet the title of Medicine King?

Nangong Wu suddenly thought of a question and asked Emperor Nanqi, "Your Majesty, has the Medicine King seen the medicine I prescribed for you?" "Yes, he has. He picked up one of each of those small white, green, and red pills, big and small, wanting to study them. But you only prescribed enough for three doses, and there's only that small packet left. Eunuch Yu was worried that the dosage wouldn't be enough and would affect my condition, so he didn't give it to him." Emperor Nanqi told her the truth.

"As expected." Nangong Wu's lips curled into a cold smile.

She doesn't object to people discussing medical techniques with her, but she strongly dislikes people like the Medicine King who come with the intention of scheming against her.

Bei Chenyan's expression also darkened. "Can the Medicine King identify the ingredients in those pills?"
