Prince Jingkang and Chen Yang enter the Imperial City as the Old Emperor's condition deteriorates. Jingkang is summoned to the Eastern Palace but must wait for an audience. Chen Yang reveals he needs three rare medicinal ingredients to treat the Old Emperor. Jingkang is then summoned to Taihe Hall, where the Python King has gathered officials, to meet the ailing Emperor.

Swoosh.

As soon as Jing Kang spoke, the court reacted immediately.

Only, many people’s reactions varied greatly.

Some were pleasantly surprised, while others were shocked...

Standing high above, the Python King’s face also changed upon hearing this.

He had long known that upon Jing Kang’s return, he would certainly take action.

But he never imagined it would happen so quickly.

Could the old man standing beside him be the expert he spoke of?

Thinking of this, the Python King’s eyes narrowed slightly.

His hands, folded behind his back, slowly tightened, as a sinister Spiritual Energy quietly gathered in his palms.

He was already planning to make a move against Qin Qingfeng.

"Brother Chen Yang."

But unexpectedly, Jing Kang called Chen Yang out from the crowd.

Swoosh.

Seeing this, everyone was taken aback.

This, is this the so-called expert?

So young?

"Crown Prince, could this person be the expert you’re speaking of?" a civil official asked with suspicion.

"Indeed, this is the expert who can treat my father’s meridian reversal symptoms." Jing Kang nodded without hesitation.

Ha.

Upon hearing this, the Python King’s faction directly laughed.

They shook their heads, the implication clear.

And those who supported Jing Kang naturally had grim expressions.

They also found it hard to believe that such a young man, seemingly in his twenties, could treat meridian reversal.

So many Imperial Physicians couldn’t solve it, could he?

The Python King also chuckled, and the Spiritual Energy he had been using instantly dissipated.

"Your Highness, you must be joking, with so many Imperial Physicians unable to solve my brother’s illness, can this young man handle it?" the Python King retorted coldly.

"Of course he can, Brother Chen Yang’s medical skills are ones I’ve witnessed with my own eyes." Facing the ridicule, Jing Kang remained fearless, still full of confidence, with a calm demeanor.

Seeing the Crown Prince’s demeanor so calm, even some of the ridiculing ministers began to take him seriously.

"Oh? How sure are you?" continued the Python King.

"Brother Chen Yang, tell the Imperial Uncle how confident you are," Jing Kang turned to Chen Yang without answering.

Chen Yang responded without hesitation, "Completely confident."

"Hahaha, meridian reversal symptoms, completely confident?"

"This must be madness."

"Crown Prince, with such a complicated illness that so many Imperial Physicians couldn’t solve, can he possibly be completely confident?"

...

The ministers who had just started to take Chen Yang seriously were instantly overwhelmed by Chen Yang’s answer, and they all burst into laughter.

The Python King also couldn’t help but laugh.

Though he said nothing more, his laughter confirmed everything.

"Brother Chen Yang, come with me to see my father." Unperturbed by the laughter, Jing Kang directly led Chen Yang up the steps to the dragon throne.

Swoosh...

Seeing the two approach, the guards next to the dragon throne immediately made a move to draw their swords.

With one glance from the Python King, they slowly retreated.

The Python King had originally planned to kill the healer.

But now seeing the visitor so young, he had grown dismissive and didn’t think Chen Yang could cure the Emperor.

Thus, he felt no need to act.

On the contrary, he hoped Chen Yang would begin treating the Emperor quickly.

Meridian reversal is extremely serious.

A single mistake could lead to severe meridian rupture, causing major issues.

If that happened, wouldn’t he be able to blame the Emperor’s demise on the Crown Prince?

The Python King sneered internally.

Little did he know that all of his thoughts were captured by Chen Yang and Qin Qingfeng.

How could Chen Yang possibly be completely confident in treating the Emperor?

He spoke so arrogantly earlier just to create a pretentious facade and confuse the Python King.

The Python King was indeed conceited and fell directly into the trap.

Therefore, they were not only safe, but also could truly proceed with treating the Old Emperor.

"Father."

Approaching the dragon throne, the Crown Prince Jing Kang’s mood immediately grew somber.

Because the Old Emperor’s condition was genuinely dire at the moment.

His face had turned purple due to the spirit collision... and there were hints of turning black.

The entire person was deeply unconscious and unable to awaken.

Chen Yang glanced at the general condition and then extended his hand to check the Old Emperor’s pulse.

Unexpectedly, before he could even approach the Old Emperor, he was repelled by a great force.

"Hahaha..."

Seeing this, the ministers aligned with the Python King burst into laughter once more.

The Python King also smirked, "My brother’s meridian reversal has long left his Spiritual Energy uncontrollable, yet released at will; surely, the expert doesn’t lack this understanding?"

"Haha, a moment of carelessness," Chen Yang grinned slightly, pretending to make excuses.

In fact, he was speaking the truth.

He truly had been careless earlier.

He assumed the Old Emperor’s situation wasn’t that dire.

But judging from the leaked Spiritual Energy just then, the Old Emperor’s condition was extremely perilous.

One mistake indeed risked a life-threatening meridian rupture...

Hmm...

Chen Yang forcibly activated his Spiritual Power, withstanding the leaking energy to check the Old Emperor’s pulse.

The pulse-checking process was very quiet.

After approximately eight to ten minutes, Chen Yang was already sweating profusely.

He then loosened his grip.

"Brother Chen Yang, how is my father’s condition?" Jing Kang asked quickly.

At this moment, the laughter from beneath the hall had ceased, and everyone was expectantly watching Chen Yang.

Although, in many people’s eyes, Chen Yang was wholly unreliable.

Having checked it, they all wanted to hear what Chen Yang had to say.

Chen Yang scanned the room, saying, "The illness is not difficult to cure."

"I only need to employ some tricks to awaken your father, and thoroughly resolve the meridian reversal issue."

Ha-haha...

Following Chen Yang’s words, someone below the hall couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

The Python King also curled his lips in complete disregard for Chen Yang.

He directly viewed Chen Yang as an incompetent person.

To seek fame and attention.

"Vice Minister Chen, what are you laughing at?" the Crown Prince Jing Kang stared at the person laughing loudest.

"Reporting to Your Highness, I am merely pleased for the Emperor’s recovery, and happy for our Great Jing Dynasty; should the Emperor recover, it is a blessing for the realm," Vice Minister Chen replied, one eye open, telling a lie.

His laughter moments ago was plainly mocking.

"Ha, indeed," the Crown Prince Jing Kang did not expose him, merely smiled faintly before looking back at Chen Yang, "Then Brother Chen Yang, when can you start the treatment?"

"I’ll go back and make some preparations," Chen Yang casually replied.

"Alright." Crown Prince Jing Kang nodded, then looked at the Python King, "Imperial Uncle, in the coming days, please take great care of my father."

"Haha, rest assured, Your Highness; I will certainly take good care of my brother, waiting for this Master Chen’s treatment," the Python King laughed.

"Mm, then we’ll be leaving first." Jing Kang nodded, and under everyone’s watchful eyes, left Taihe Hall with Chen Yang and Qin Qingfeng, returning to the Eastern Palace.

After Jing Kang departed, naturally the civil and military officials in the hall also left.

However, the Python King’s men quietly returned and paid him a visit.

A group of people sat together to discuss today’s events.
