Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1391 - 1365: A Bet with the Imperial Physician

After Ye Chen infused the Light of Life into Wei Qing, Wei Qing did not immediately wake up and remained in a coma.

He wasn’t worried at all, because the system was always reliable; it just needed some time.

However, Emperor Wu of Han, waiting at the door, was already impatient, and someone beside him had been saying that Ye Chen had already escaped.

"Someone, open the door for me." Emperor Wu of Han couldn’t wait anymore and said.

Upon hearing this, two guards quickly came over and pushed the door open. They originally thought the door was locked and exerted a lot of force.

But discovered in frustration that the door wasn’t locked at all, and because they pushed harder, they immediately fell inside after opening the door.

Ye Chen was startled by the noise from behind and hurriedly turned around to look, only to find two guards lying on the ground.

Emperor Wu of Han did not expect Ye Chen to still be in the room and couldn’t help but show a puzzled expression.

Thinking back to what everyone had just told him, Ye Chen indeed had reasons to escape.

But now, the man was standing right in front of him, which surprised Emperor Wu of Han.

"You’re still here?" Emperor Wu of Han blurted out his thoughts.

"Your Majesty, where else would I be if not here?" Ye Chen did not answer but asked in return.

He was well aware of Emperor Wu of Han’s thoughts and the thoughts of those standing outside the room; they certainly thought he took the opportunity to flee.

Everyone was surprised to see Ye Chen standing there.

"Ye Chen, how is Wei Qing?" Emperor Wu of Han hurriedly shifted the topic.

After all, he was the Emperor and couldn’t voice his suspicions in front of everyone, as it would tarnish his image.

"I have treated his injuries, but he has not woken up yet. We need to wait a little longer, and I shall take my leave for now." Ye Chen said, looking at Emperor Wu of Han.

Ye Chen knew that the items from the system store were definitely not ordinary and might be able to heal Wei Qing.

Having spent hundred million to buy the Light of Life and infused it into Wei Qing’s body, it surely would have an effect.

Moreover, Ye Chen had completed the delivery task and saw no need to waste time here, thinking it was best to return quickly lest Su Wanyi and the others became anxious.

Before Emperor Wu of Han could speak, an Imperial Physician spoke with a derisive expression: "Your Majesty, you mustn’t let this man leave. It’s been so long, and the Grand General still hasn’t woken up. Apparently, he hasn’t treated the Grand General’s injuries well."

"Your Majesty, if you don’t believe it, you can check if the Grand General still has injuries on him?" Ye Chen said.

Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Emperor Wu of Han promptly went to Wei Qing’s side, carefully examining the previously injured areas. Miraculously, all the scars had disappeared, and Wei Qing’s body no longer bore the shocking wounds.

"Amazing, truly amazing," Emperor Wu of Han said, incredulous.

Upon hearing him, everyone stretched their necks to have a closer look, also witnessing the miraculous sight.

"Ye Chen, you’re remarkable, I must reward you heavily," Emperor Wu of Han said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, this doesn’t prove anything. I know of a salve that can remove scars from one’s body. I suspect that’s what he used, but the key is for the Grand General to wake up," the Imperial Physician spoke again.

Ye Chen didn’t know why he had offended this Imperial Physician, who was repeatedly opposing him.

The reason was that this Imperial Physician had learned Ye Chen cured Emperor Wu of Han’s inability to eat. Though he’d tried numerous remedies and prescribed many medications, none worked.

Since Ye Chen cured this ailment, he was bound to be favored by Emperor Wu of Han. If he also healed Grand General Wei Qing, Ye Chen would become a close figure to Emperor Wu of Han, thus threatening the physician’s position.

"Since you persistently antagonize me, don’t blame me," Ye Chen thought to himself.

Ye Chen never initiates conflicts, but he won’t let go once provoked.

"Your Majesty, since you’re so worried, I’ll wait until General Wei wakes up before leaving," Ye Chen said to Emperor Wu of Han.

Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Emperor Wu of Han felt a weight lift from his mind; he had indeed thought about this, worried Wei Qing might not awaken.

Emperor Wu of Han nodded and smiled, saying, "Then I’ll have to trouble Ye Chen."

Seeing Emperor Wu of Han being so courteous to Ye Chen, the Imperial Physician felt even more envious and swore to use any means necessary.

"My dear Imperial Physician, since you don’t believe in my medical skills, why don’t we make a bet? If General Wei wakes up within the time of burning an incense stick, you must admit your skills are inferior and leave the Imperial Hospital. How about that?" Ye Chen said, looking at the provoked physician.

"No problem, but what if General Wei doesn’t wake up?" The physician asked.

"Then it’s simple; let the Emperor sentence me to death," Ye Chen replied.

"Alright, it’s a deal," the physician said with a sinister smile.

With his years of experience, he knew someone like Wei Qing couldn’t possibly be cured, having sustained numerous injuries over many years in battle. Surface injuries weren’t the issue, but internal ones were hard to heal.

As time passed, everyone continued to watch Wei Qing lying on the bed.

No one believed Wei Qing would wake up, as it was well known that his internal organs had long been injured due to war injuries, which couldn’t be easily cured.

"Looks like Ye Chen is doomed today."

"Well, who asked him to overestimate himself by taking this hot potato?"

"He wouldn’t have survived anyway even if he didn’t take it."

"Indeed, it’s just a matter of buying time; he’ll be dead sooner or later."

Several ministers who had good relations exchanged glances, continuously speaking in ventriloquism.

They had already decided Ye Chen was undoubtedly going to die today, even feeling some regret seeing Ye Chen’s expression.

So young and losing his life due to arrogance, it was truly a pity.

Ye Chen mentioned an incense burning time because the system told him that Wei Qing could awaken in less than half an hour.

The ancient incense time is equivalent to half an hour in modern times.

On the surface, Wei Qing’s body had no changes; only Ye Chen knew the Light of Life was continuously repairing Wei Qing’s internal organs. Once repaired, Wei Qing would wake.

Emperor Wu of Han watched Wei Qing, who hadn’t awakened yet, and furrowed his brows.
