Cao Mengde Really Has a Silver Tongue
Has someone from the Heaven Dou Empire arrived?
"Who is it?" Qian Renxue asked hurriedly.
But Cao Mengde was seen gazing at the entrance of the Rejuvenation Hall, seemingly expecting something.
"Of course, it's Xue Ye!"
Cao Mengde, now a deity, had long sensed the aura of the Xue Ye approaching Rejuvenation Hall.
Hiss!
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue was utterly shocked.
Cao Mengde said yesterday that the Xue Ye would fall ill soon, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
Actually.
When Cao Mengde cast the Gu spell on Qian Renxue, he also cast it on Xue Ye at the same time.
At that time.
He began to plan and strategize how to make the Heaven Dou Palace Coup easier.
"Since we're here, let's seize the Heaven Dou Imperial Power first."
"You all go to the examination room and leave for a bit. Watch how I make fun of him."
Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and Hu Liena entered the consultation room and waited quietly.
Not long after.
Then, a dozen or so Soul Master escorted a person wearing a bamboo hat as they entered.
Cao Mengde took a closer look.
It was discovered that these Soul Masters were all disguised and were not wearing the uniforms of the Heaven Dou Empire.
It seems this is also for the sake of Xue Ye's identity.
"Hello, I have recently fallen seriously ill, and I hope that Lord Mengde can treat me." The man wearing a bamboo hat spoke in an aged voice.
"Of course, please have a seat."
"All irrelevant personnel, get out." Cao Mengde waved his hand.
At first.
These loyal guards were still worried about Xue Ye's safety.
But then Xue Ye waved his hand, and they withdrew from the Rejuvenation Hall, standing guard outside the gate to prevent anyone from entering at will—a way of protecting His Majesty.
As Cao Mengde had predicted, when the old man removed his straw hat...
He truly is the Xue Ye.
What illness does His Majesty suffer from?
Upon hearing this...
The Xue Ye was nearly scared to death.
"You..."
How did you know my identity?
Why was the Xue Ye so panicked?
You need to know.
This is the Spirit Hall. He, the ruler of a nation, is like someone who has entered a foreign wolf's den, where he is at risk of losing his life at any moment.
If it weren't for the fact that Cao Mengde wouldn't leave Spirit City to seek medical treatment...
He wouldn't take that risk.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to panic. I, Cao Mengde, am the heir to Dual Godhood. If I cannot even see through you mortals, wouldn't I be too weak?"
Xue Ye nodded, realizing what was happening.
Yes.
Cao Mengde was a deity.
It seems the power of the gods is beyond his comprehension.
There should be a way to cure my strange illness.
"Lord Mengde, I have recently contracted a strange illness. I sleep for an hour, wake up for an hour, and then sleep for another hour. My thoughts and actions are completely out of control. When the time is up, my body will not obey my commands."
To be honest.
This illness is driving Xue Ye almost insane.
Think about it.
I sleep for an hour, and then wake up for an hour.
Did they sleep, or not?
It went on and on, in a never-ending cycle, and my body was about to break down.
"Oh, I can cure this disease, so don't worry."
Cao Mengde made a solemn promise.
Besides.
What illness of his is incurable?
Besides, he was the one who dug the hole.
Upon hearing that there was hope for a cure, Xue Ye was overjoyed, and tears welled up in his eyes.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Lord Mengde."
"If you can cure my illness, I am willing to give you any reward."
Cao Mengde nodded with a smile.
He just liked the feeling of Xue Ye throwing himself at him.
To gain Xue Ye's trust, he started to lie.
"Your Majesty, where is the Imperial Seal of the Heaven Dou Empire?"
Imperial Seal of the State?
Xue Ye instinctively tensed up.
What was the meaning of Cao Mengde's question about the Imperial Seal of the State?
Your Majesty, please do not misunderstand.
"You have royal blood flowing through your veins, and this strange illness requires the spiritual energy of your ancestors to dispel it, and the Imperial Seal contains the spiritual energy of His Majesty's ancestors."
Oh?
Oh, I see.
Hearing Cao Mengde inquire about the process of obtaining the Imperial Seal of the State.
The three people hiding in the examination room almost burst out laughing.
"That Cao Mengde, he's really good with words," Qian Renxue muttered softly.
Bibi Dong subconsciously replied, "Yes!"
This seemed to be the first normal conversation between mother and daughter. Although it wasn't about anything direct, the way they communicated made them both feel a chill, and they turned away to avoid each other.
"Is the Imperial Seal of the State really necessary?" Xue Ye wanted to inquire further, wondering if there were any other solutions.
After all, the Imperial Seal of the State was extremely valuable to him.
This is not only his personal matter, but also concerns the entire Heaven Dou Empire.
Cao Mengde nodded and said, "Yes, this is the only way to save His Majesty. I need to use Divine Power to force out the spiritual energy from the Imperial Seal and then transfer it into His Majesty's body, and His Majesty will recover."
The Xue Ye.
I still intend to do as Cao Mengde said.
The other party is a deity; there's no need for me to deceive a mortal like him.
"The Imperial Seal is a precious item, and I do not carry it with me."
"I will send someone back to retrieve it immediately."
Upon hearing this...
Cao Mengde plopped up from the stool. "No need. I will accompany His Majesty to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace to avoid wasting our time by making His Majesty go back and forth."
Xue Ye felt extremely honored.
I almost burst into tears on the spot.
"Lord Mengde, are you truly willing to accompany me to the Heaven Dou Empire?"
Cao Mengde replied with a smile.
"Everyone says I don't accept going out to practice medicine, but Your Majesty is different. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, so naturally you enjoy different treatment."
"The reason why the Heaven Dou Empire enjoys peace and prosperity, and favorable weather, is entirely due to a wise ruler like Your Majesty."
These words made Xue Ye grin from ear to ear.
It seems that Cao Mengde is always paying attention to the fate of the Heaven Dou Empire.
I thought Cao Mengde was living in Spirit City and must have some connection with the Spirit Hall, but now it seems I was overthinking it.
Maybe.
Taking advantage of this opportunity to treat his illness, he could also bring Cao Mengde into the Heaven Dou Empire's camp.
"Lord Mengde, let's set off then. My carriage is just outside the gate."
Car driving?
To be honest...
Cao Mengde wanted to use his Divine Power directly to lead everyone to the Heaven Dou Empire.
But he refused.
Instead, he gladly accepted Xue Ye's kindness.
"Alright, then I'll trouble Your Majesty to hire a carriage for me as well. Please allow me to pack, and I will accompany Your Majesty to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace."
Xue Ye was overjoyed and hurriedly went out of the Rejuvenation Hall to make arrangements.
Cao Mengde then went to the consultation room.
Qian Renxue said, "Mengde, in that case, I will go to the Heaven Dou Empire with you now."
Once the Imperial Seal of the State is in hand.
That would make it much easier for her to inherit the throne.
Cao Mengde did not answer Qian Renxue's question, but looked at Bibi Dong, seemingly waiting for her opinion.
Bibi Dong was somewhat embarrassed and even began to avoid Cao Mengde's gaze.
Why are you looking at me like that?
"You can go, I don't have the time."
Cao Mengde chuckled.
"All three of you will probably have to go."
