Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 2356 - 2312: Critical Step

"Hmph." He snorted coldly, feigning anger, "You better give me a reasonable explanation. Otherwise, just the attempt on my life is enough to condemn you a thousand times."

"Brother Chen Yang, where is the assassin?" Jing Kang did not argue with the Python King at this moment but directly asked Chen Yang.

"Standing right behind the Python King." Chen Yang pointed out directly without hesitation.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gazes.

That’s when they noticed that there was an extra person behind the Python King, whose presence had gone unnoticed.

Moreover, the person looked very unfamiliar, and no one had seen him before.

Oddly, he was wearing court attire.

That made it very suspicious.

"Python King, how has such a person appeared in the court?" Jing Kang narrowed his eyes and asked.

The other officials were also looking at the Python King with confusion.

The man standing behind the Python King was naturally one of his people.

"He’s a new teacher I found for Chuan’er; he came with me today, is there any problem?" The Python King introduced calmly and composedly.

"Crown Prince, my grievance is unjust, I merely followed the Princely Heir and did nothing." The Ghost Doctor seemed possessed by drama.

Upon hearing the Python King’s words, he immediately knelt down, crying out his innocence.

He truly seemed to have suffered greatly.

"Traitor, you speak slanderously; how could the teacher attempt an assassination on the Emperor? It is clearly your nonsense." The Heir of Python King also spoke loudly.

Chen Yang sneered directly, "Whether I’ve wronged him or not, a search of his belongings will reveal the truth."

Upon saying this, the Ghost Doctor’s face instantly changed.

The Python King and the Princely Heir’s expressions also shifted slightly.

Qin Qingfeng and Jing Kang noticed this.

Immediately, they realized that the Emperor might truly have been attacked.

Chen Yang’s actions were indeed a counterattack.

"Someone, search him." Without hesitation, Jing Kang ordered a nearby eunuch to conduct a body search.

The eunuch dared not defy Jing Kang’s command, so he immediately stepped forward to prepare for the search.

"Hold on!"

But how could the Python King allow the eunuch to search?

If the items were truly found, where would that leave him?

Frightened by the Python King’s rebuke, the eunuch froze in place, too scared to make a move.

"Imperial Uncle, what do you mean by this?" Jing Kang looked directly at the Python King.

The Python King’s face was somber, "Crown Prince, it’s too rash to search my subordinate based on his single sentence, is it not?"

"Crown Prince, it’s inappropriate, especially since the Emperor’s situation is urgent; there’s no time to waste."

"If this person truly has skill, he should first cure the Emperor’s illness; that would prove his innocence more than anything." The Prime Minister seized the opportunity and spoke up.

"You..." Jing Kang still wanted to persist with the search.

Qin Qingfeng suddenly interrupted Jing Kang.

"Crown Prince, the Prime Minister is right; the Emperor’s situation is critical, focusing on his treatment should be the priority, not the search." Qin Qingfeng said.

"This..." Jing Kang was momentarily stunned, not immediately understanding why to relent with the search.

But after glancing at the hall’s doors and windows and the Python King’s expression, he quickly grasped the situation.

To force a search now would be akin to a full-blown confrontation with the Python King.

Breaking through the last layer of protocol.

If broken, the Python King will surely discard his disguise entirely.

At that point, the situation becomes complicated.

Moreover, their forces are weak, and breaking ties would be very unfavorable for them.

After considering these factors, Jing Kang refrained from saying more.

"Young friend Chen Yang, proceed with the Emperor’s treatment; I’ll be watching closely. If anyone dares have half a wrongful intent, under the eyes of Great Jing’s people, everyone shall condemn them." Qin Qingfeng spoke dominantly.

The warning was very clear.

The officials echoed in agreement.

The ministers supporting the Python King were relatively few.

Most ministers in the hall were loyal to the Emperor, neutral hoping only for the Emperor’s recovery.

They would not favor any side.

This was precisely what the Python King feared; unless utterly desperate, he would never risk condemnation by the whole nation and engage in mutual destruction.

It’s not worth the losses.

He could only stand silently aside, swallowing this bitter pill.

Chen Yang naturally understood the stakes, so he refrained from dwelling on the assassination attempt for the moment.

Instead, he resumed channeling Spiritual Power, focusing on treating the Old Emperor.

Fortunately, the Muscle-Relaxing Grand Restoration Pill’s efficacy persisted.

He continued to clear the Old Emperor’s body’s reverse-flowing Spiritual Energy and nurtured his meridians.

The Old Emperor’s body now seemed filled with a raging river, rampaging wildly.

His treatment method was straightforward: segmenting the raging river into dozens or hundreds of parts using silver needles.

Meticulously smoothing out each segment to restore them to normal.

The concept was simple, but implementing it was not.

Extremely careful techniques were needed, and many details required attention during the process.

Thankfully, the Muscle-Relaxing Grand Restoration Pill’s effects lasted long, and Chen Yang’s medical skills were formidable.

After seven or eight hours, he finally managed to organize the Spiritual Energy within the Old Emperor.

At this point, the Old Emperor’s breathing stabilized.

His complexion improved, not as terrifying as before.

"Has the Emperor... recovered?"

An official witnessing this shuddered with excitement.

"No, the Emperor has not fully recovered; Master Chen merely sorted out the reverse-flowing Spiritual Energy in the Emperor’s body. The next step is to converge all Spiritual Energy and circulate it normally for success." The Medical Officer analyzed the situation carefully, with wide eyes.

Throughout the long treatment process, this Medical Officer’s observations were closest and most detailed.

He was utterly impressed by the medical skill shown by Chen Yang.

Indeed, they hadn’t thought of treating the Old Emperor in such a way.

If Chen Yang were older than them, it could be understandable.

Yet, Chen Yang, so young, possessed such expertise; how could they not be impressed?

In the great hall.

The Old Emperor’s situation truly reached a critical moment, as the Medical Officer stated.

Sorting the meridians was not the hardest part.

The hardest is integrating the separated meridians into a cohesive and normal flow.

If all meridians were successfully integrated and flowed normally without reversal, the Old Emperor’s illness would truly be healed.

The difficulty here was the lack of a direct connection to medical expertise.

Whether it integrated without reversal depended entirely on the Old Emperor’s luck.

If still reversed, it meant the Old Emperor’s fate was sealed.

None could reverse it.

Where medical skill was involved, Chen Yang was confident, but completely chance-based situations were beyond his grasp.

"Let’s hope your luck holds."

Chen Yang took a deep breath, proceeding with this crucial step.

Removing needles to begin integrating the smoothed meridians.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

Chen Yang acted decisively, removing ten needles at once.

Without the block of silver needles, Spiritual Energy quickly converged and circulated normally.

Chen Yang felt pleased; this was a good start.

Then he continued removing needles systematically.

Each time removing dozens of them at once.

None reversed.

Shortly, the Old Emperor’s half-body was operating normally.

As Spiritual Energy circulated normally, the Old Emperor’s complexion changed dramatically.

The purple hues began fading, gradually giving way to a healthy color.

Seeing this, everyone was deeply excited.
