Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1393 - 1367: Completely Unexpected

Upon hearing Emperor Wu of Han’s call, Wei Qing actually stepped down from his bed, knelt before Emperor Wu, and said, "This subject, Wei Qing, greets Your Majesty."

This scene left the people present wide-eyed with astonishment, their faces showing disbelief.

Of course, Ye Chen was definitely not among those people, after all, he knew what was going on.

If it were as the Imperial Physician had said, that Wei Qing was experiencing a momentary surge of strength before death, he wouldn’t have reacted to Emperor Wu’s call, let alone been able to get out of bed.

The only explanation for what they saw was that Wei Qing had truly recovered.

"Wei Qing, how do you feel?" Emperor Wu helped Wei Qing up and asked.

"This subject feels overflowing with strength, like a young man," Wei Qing said with a smile.

One must know that Wei Qing was not young, and it was impossible for him to truly feel as he described.

However, the Wei Qing before them indeed looked younger and was glowing, nothing like a man about to die.

"That’s wonderful, I knew you’d be alright," Emperor Wu said with a smile.

Seeing Wei Qing’s current condition, Emperor Wu’s anxious heart was once again at ease.

He hadn’t expected Wei Qing to actually awaken and seem so different from before, as if he’d become much younger.

"Your Majesty, I remember a young man treated me, and I must thank him," Wei Qing hurriedly said.

After taking the Elixir Pill given by Ye Chen, Wei Qing fell into a deep sleep, only recalling a young man had saved him, unaware of the treatment process.

"Release the distinguished person for me immediately," Emperor Wu instructed the two guards.

Upon hearing this, the two guards quickly released Ye Chen.

Ye Chen walked towards Wei Qing, and as he passed by the Imperial Physician, he said with a smile, "Imperial Physician, you lost."

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it," the Imperial Physician shouted loudly.

He hadn’t expected to actually lose. Despite studying medicine continuously, he was outdone by a young man. How could he accept this?

Ye Chen no longer paid attention to the nearly frantic Imperial Physician and headed towards Wei Qing and Emperor Wu.

"General Wei, you’ve finally awakened, His Majesty has been worried about you," Ye Chen said with a smile.

"Thanks to Mr. Ye for saving my life, I, Wei Qing, cannot repay this and must bow to you," Wei Qing said, about to bow to Ye Chen.

However, Ye Chen stopped him, feeling unworthy to receive such a gesture from Wei Qing, a man admired for his many battles and victories.

"Grand General, that’s too much," Ye Chen promptly declined.

"Ye Chen, I owe you an apology for earlier," Emperor Wu said awkwardly.

Ye Chen understood that Emperor Wu’s demeanor was due to him repeatedly challenging Long Wei, and had it been another emperor, his head would have rolled already.

Yet, here he was, safe and sound, showing that Emperor Wu was not a tyrant.

"Your Majesty, the fault lies with me for speaking out of turn and incurring Your Majesty’s wrath," Ye Chen said.

He felt that he too was at fault, and it wasn’t entirely Emperor Wu’s doing.

"Your Majesty, now that General Wei has awakened, I can leave, but I have one more matter to address," Ye Chen continued.

"Speak freely," Emperor Wu said with a smile.

His heart was filled with gratitude for Ye Chen, knowing that saving Wei Qing was akin to securing his kingdom.

"Earlier, I made a wager with the Imperial Physician, and I hope he can keep his promise and honor the bet," Ye Chen said, looking at Emperor Wu.

The Imperial Physician, upon hearing this, trembled. He had planned to remove Ye Chen but ended up ruining himself instead.

If he had known the outcome, the Imperial Physician would certainly not have bet against Ye Chen.

Even if he couldn’t oust Ye Chen, losing his position in the Imperial Hospital was not worth it.

Everyone understood that Ye Chen was implying the Imperial Physician should leave the Imperial Hospital.

Working at the Imperial Hospital wasn’t easy, and having finally gotten there, he was reluctant to leave.

"Imperial Physician Zhang, now that General Wei has awakened, it proves you’ve lost and should fulfill your promise," Emperor Wu said to the Imperial Physician whose expression was unpleasant.

"Your Majesty, I was wrong, please forgive me this time. Mr. Ye is indeed remarkable, as he managed to save the critically injured General Wei," Imperial Physician Zhang pleaded, kneeling before Emperor Wu.

"Don’t plead with me, it was you who made a bet with Ye Chen, so you need his forgiveness. If he forgives you, I can let you stay at the Imperial Hospital," Emperor Wu said impatiently, waving his hand.

The Imperial Physician had hoped Emperor Wu would speak on his behalf, but his response revealed his apprehension towards Ye Chen.

Since Emperor Wu couldn’t help, he had no choice but to approach Ye Chen himself, hoping for leniency.

After all, this was his first meeting with Ye Chen, and they had no prior grudge, perhaps he could escape this time.

Imperial Physician Zhang slowly approached Ye Chen, pleading, "Lord Ye, you truly are extraordinary, having saved General Wei. I greatly admire you and wish to learn medicine from you."

The Imperial Physician’s direct address to Ye Chen had changed to Lord Ye—such a significant shift.

Ye Chen remained silent, merely watching Imperial Physician Zhang, knowing he wasn’t just praising him. The Imperial Hospital physicians were notoriously arrogant, often looking down on others.

As expected, Imperial Physician Zhang continued, "Lord Ye, I apologize for offending you earlier, let’s forget about our wager. Truly, there are always skies beyond the skies."

Ye Chen replied with a smile, "Imperial Physician Zhang, how can a wager be forgotten? Wouldn’t that be somewhat frivolous? Besides, we made the bet before His Majesty."

He emphasized the words about betting before His Majesty to corner Imperial Physician Zhang.

"Indeed, Lord Ye speaks the truth, but perhaps you could spare this old man once? I would be endlessly grateful," Imperial Physician Zhang said, expressing his awkwardness.

"Imperial Physician, I don’t need your gratitude, just that you adhere to what you’ve stated," Ye Chen said expressionlessly.

Though Ye Chen wasn’t usually aggressive, Imperial Physician Zhang had repeatedly tried to eliminate him.

Faced with such a person, Ye Chen wouldn’t be merciful.

Hearing this, Imperial Physician Zhang was at a loss.
