In the palace, only the two of them remained. Yue Chanjuan knew that she could not hide this matter from Tuoba Fei, so she did not try to hide it from him. She thought, if there's anything, the first person who knows about it would be Tuoba Fei.
”Ding Zhizhong, how important is this matter? You have been a doctor for many years so you do not need me to remind you. If this gets out, no one can keep you alive. ”
”Plop …”
Ding Zhizhong knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, ”Your subject does not dare to reveal the slightest bit of my heaven and earth's gall. Your subject will keep his word.”
Ding Zhizhong's body trembled. Having learned of such a secretive matter, he thought that only death could prevent this secret from being revealed. Ever since ancient times, for the sake of such secretive matters, the Emperor's house would never allow anyone who knew of it to live.
As he continued kowtowing, the sounds of him kowtowing echoed throughout the palace.
Yue Chanjuan indifferently looked down at Ding Zhizhong, who was kneeling at her feet, begging for mercy. This kind of feeling allowed her to taste the kind of loftiness, the joy and confidence of being able to control everything that happened to others, including their lives.
She closed her eyes slightly. A moment later, she opened them again, ”It's good that you understand. I'm not the emperor of Great Karma. Even if you are someone sent by the Emperor, you should know where you are and how far away the Emperor is from you. Ding Zhizhong, in this life, do you still want to have the chance to return to the Great Kang? ”
Ding Zhizhong kneeled on the ground and kowtowed continuously: ”Da Yue branch, your subject has followed the Da Qin family and everything has been ordered by them. You will not dare to disobey at all. Your subject has always been treated coldly in the court. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been sent to the Great Moon Sect. ”
Yue Chan pondered for a moment before sneering, ”Ding Zhizhong, I also don't want to ask you much. Even if this matter were to leak out, I would forgive you, and Prince Xian of the Left would not forgive you either.”
Ding Zhizhong kowtowed and said: ”Your subject will not dare to reveal anything. Your subject is only an imperial physician, not a court official. Although this subject has come to the Great Moon Branch under the orders of the Emperor, it is only to help with the princess' diagnosis and treatment. The Emperor has no other orders, this subject has served the imperial family for many years, please enlighten the Da Qin family. ”
”It's good that you know what you're doing. You can leave now.”
Ding Zhizhong walked out of his bedroom. He was already drenched in sweat and his clothes were wet. Wiping away the sweat on his forehead, at that moment, he thought that he was dead for sure. He didn't expect that the Big Dipper's family didn't take his life.
Yue Chanjuan's expression was heavy as she could not figure out the mysteries behind all this. However, all of this was hidden deep within her heart. She could not tell anyone, nor could she discuss it with anyone.
”I'll discuss everything with Tuoba Fei when he returns. I presume that until now, he is truly willing to give me the position of Da Qin?”
Yue Chanjuan chuckled. After yesterday's actions, she had undoubtedly told Wang Ting and the Great Moon Branch Court that she had acknowledged her status as the Great Qin, and that she was truly handing over the status and power of the Great Qin to her.
Today, he even ordered the other juniors to come visit him tomorrow.
Yue Chanjuan took out the gold medallion she had just bestowed upon him. As she played with it in her hands, a dim light flashed in the depths of her eyes.
”Have I grown up? How is this possible? Even my body has not been well. How can I be? ”
”Cough, cough …”
Yue Chanjuan deliberately coughed a few times. For the past few days, only Ding Zhizhong had been treating her, but those imperial doctors had disappeared. She could guess where the imperial doctors were. They must have been transferred away for treatment.
”There are some illnesses that can't be diagnosed. Those hidden ailments, I'm afraid even the royal doctors can't do anything about it, right?”
