Chapter 256: Chapter 256: Mo Yinhe Got Kissed by His Wife Secretly 1
Si Mingjing took out a bottle of Melatonin from her pocket again. Opening the bottle, she took out two pills and said, "Your Majesty, removing the Poisonous Insect will be quite troublesome. You should take these two Melatonin pills first to alleviate the symptoms temporarily. Once your headache is relieved, I will find a way to draw out the Poisonous Insect."
Without another word, the King of Gendaya picked up the two Melatonin pills from Si Mingjing’s palm and swallowed them.
Then, with a low growl, he demanded, "Quick, bring me water."
An Attendant came over carrying water.
The King of Gendaya took a sip of water and swallowed the Melatonin.
Three minutes later, the King of Gendaya’s headache symptoms had eased.
Si Mingjing bowed. "Your Majesty, do you now see that I haven’t been deceiving you? As a physician, I only prescribe treatment according to the ailment. However, this can only temporarily paralyze the Poisonous Insect in your brain. Once it awakens, it will still wreak havoc in your head and cause your migraines, treating only the symptoms, not the root cause."
After his headache subsided, the King of Gendaya leaned back on his throne, remaining quiet for two minutes without speaking.
Eyes closed, he rested, utterly exhausted.
He found himself enveloped in an endless abyss of panic.
He recalled the first time he had experienced a migraine. It was when he had just ascended the throne. He had many brothers competing for the kingship, a situation akin to the ’War of the Nine Dragons’—a tragic and intense struggle for succession.
It is said that a general’s fame is built on ten thousand corpses; he had secured his throne at the bloody expense of many.
Among them, there was one woman he could never forget.
She was the woman he loved, named Ci En, but she loved his brother. He had poured his heart out to Ci En, only to be met with her unyielding refusal.
After ascending the throne, the first thing he did was to have his brother hacked into mincemeat right in front of Ci En.
He thought this would intimidate Ci En into submitting to him.
Instead, Ci En took her own life in front of him.
Before she died, she swore that even as a ghost, she would not let him go.
Subsequently, a plague broke out in the Royal Palace.
Some said it was the doing of Ci En’s vengeful spirit,
claiming she knew the Witch Poisonous Insect Technique,
and that she would not spare anyone in the Royal Palace.
He ordered all those who spread such rumors to be beheaded.
He also commanded the physicians to cure the plague.
Afterward, no one dared to mention it again.
But from then on, every time he remembered the hateful and desperate look in Ci En’s eyes as she died, his head would throb with excruciating pain.
The migraines worsened over the decades.
He sought out renowned physicians, but none could cure his migraines.
Who would have thought it was actually the Witch Poisonous Insect Technique!
Ci En had planted a Poisonous Insect in his brain.
Did that woman hate him so much?
He had simply wanted to possess her too desperately!
A wave of desolate anger swept through the King of Gendaya’s heart.
When he opened his eyes again, they were filled with a bloodthirsty, cold light.
"Speak! How can we draw out the Poisonous Insect in my brain?" The King of Gendaya bellowed.
Si Mingjing replied, "Your Majesty, to draw out the Poisonous Insect in your brain, I fear a craniotomy might be necessary. However, having studied traditional Chinese medicine since I was young, I can kill the Poisonous Insect in your brain using acupuncture and Chinese medicinal remedies, allowing you to expel it naturally. But to accurately administer the needles and kill the Poisonous Insect in your brain, I cannot do it alone. I need an assistant. Only with a coordinated effort between two people can this task be accomplished."
"Enough talk! Getting an assistant is easy! Servants, summon all the best doctors in the country immediately!" The King of Gendaya was extremely impatient.
The thought of having an insect in his brain was unbearable.
He couldn’t bear to wait even another moment.
Si Mingjing continued, "Your Majesty, the assistant I need is my senior martial brother. We were taught by the same master, so our synergy is perfect. If I were to partner with someone else for the first time, a lack of synergy could lead to accidents. After all, this isn’t an arm or any other part of the body we’re treating; it’s the brain. Given your esteemed status, how can any mistakes be tolerated?"
At this point, Mo Yinhe, who had been watching the drama unfold from his place in the grand hall, understood. A roguish smirk played on his lips. So, this was her scheme.
The King of Gendaya roared, "Where is he? Servants, bring him to me at once!"
No matter if he was at the ends of the earth, he wanted to see him immediately.
Si Mingjing bowed. "The Queen has recently been feeling unwell and invited my senior martial brother to treat her. Therefore, summoning him shouldn’t be too troublesome. You just need to ask the Queen."
"What a coincidence," the King of Gendaya said, his eyes narrowing.
At this moment, the King of Gendaya couldn’t be bothered to think things through carefully. He felt as if even the heavens were helping him quickly find a cure for his migraines.
"Queen, have her senior martial brother brought here!"
As soon as he spoke, the Queen exclaimed, "Your Majesty, that’s not true! Si Mingjing is full of lies! If I were ill, what kind of doctor within the country could I not summon? Why would I need to invite a mainlander? I have no idea who this ’senior martial brother’ she’s talking about is."
Hmph, there was no way she would hand over the person!
Si Mingjing feigned even greater surprise, her expression more innocently bewildered than the Queen’s. "Your Highness, you contracted a rather... delicate illness, one you didn’t want anyone in the country to know about. That’s why you invited my senior martial brother. How can you deny it outright? I even have our call record here. Or do you perhaps not wish for His Majesty’s migraines to improve, and that’s why you’re deliberately feigning ignorance?"
"Si Mingjing!" the Queen seethed with rage. "You!"
What did she mean by a ’delicate illness’ that she didn’t want people to know about?
This shameless woman, spewing lies, even dared to slander her reputation!
Si Mingjing didn’t even look at the Queen. She just twirled her ring phone and opened the call log. "Your Majesty, please listen..."
Si Mingjing had a habit of recording her calls. All her calls were automatically recorded and saved.
As she played the recording, the Queen’s commanding voice came through the phone, "Are you Si Mingjing? Your senior martial brother is currently in Gendaya, at my royal son’s residence..."
After this much played, Si Mingjing stopped the recording and continued, "Your Majesty, now you know I wasn’t lying, correct? I sincerely wish to treat your migraines. I hope you can bring my senior martial brother here soon so he can assist me."
The King of Gendaya slammed his palm heavily onto the armrest of his throne.
"Queen!"
"Your Majesty..."
The Queen’s heart blazed with fury. If she handed the person over today, she would lose all leverage over Si Mingjing.
Then who would treat her son’s leg?
"Do you wish for my death so that Gaoyang may ascend the throne sooner?"
The King of Gendaya’s grave accusation fell upon her. The Queen felt a chill run down her spine, her body breaking out in a cold sweat, as she hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, how could you think such a thing?"
"Then bring the person here!"
"...Yes."
The Queen dared not hesitate, fearing that even the slightest delay would arouse the King’s suspicious nature.
Si Mingjing added, "Your Majesty, I will go and decoct your medicine and make all necessary preparations. In one hour, I will administer the acupuncture."
"Hurry, then." The King of Gendaya nodded, satisfied.
Si Mingjing withdrew, walking gracefully towards Mo Yinhe.
Their eyes met, both pairs glinting with cunning.
As the girl approached, Mo Yinhe extended his large hand.
Si Mingjing also extended her delicate hand, which was enveloped by Mo Yinhe’s large one. Side by side, they departed with an air of nonchalant confidence.
