Chapter 60: Revealing the Other Party's Female Identity
"Please come this way. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is waiting for you in the conference room."
In the Prince's Mansion, a maid led the way for Mu Ci, who had time to look around at the place where Xue Qinghe lived.
Over the past two days, the three women's cultivation at the Yin-Yang Ice and Fire Eyes had been progressing in an orderly manner.
Mu Ci had also passed on the secret method of the Medicine King to them, and while Huo Wu was studying together, she began to delve into the method of self-awakening her own Spirit.
Due to the special nature of the Fire Shadow Spirit, she needed to find an optimal frequency between her body and shadow to achieve self-awakening.
Mu Ci couldn't help her with this; she could only rely on herself.
Compared to the special nature of Huo Wu's training, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yu'er's training was much more conventional. Apart from sitting next to the Ice and Fire Eyes to train their soul power, they also fought against soul beasts under Mu Ci's care.
After walking through the courtyard full of Heavenly Soul royal style, Mu Ci finally arrived at the reception location.
At this time, the handsome blond young man Xue Qinghe also walked out quickly to greet him.
"Brother Mu Ci, we haven't seen each other for a few days. Let's go inside and talk."
As he spoke, Xue Qinghe kindly took Mu Ci's hand and led him into the meeting room.
Sitting on the sofa, the maids around were called out by Xue Qinghe, and now there were only the two of them in the room.
Feeling the silence around the room, Mu Ci finally expressed his doubts.
"I wonder what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to talk to me about, and why he needs to keep it secret."
Xue Qinghe did not answer immediately. He poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Mu Ci, then leaned on the sofa and looked at Mu Ci and said.
"Brother Mu Ci, your reputation as the Medicine King has spread throughout the world thanks to your deeds. I wonder if you have any insights into poison techniques."
Poison technique?
Mu Ci frowned slightly, picked up the tea that Xue Qinghe pushed over, and took a sip, giving himself some time to think.
"Why is Qian Renxue asking this? According to the timeline, she should have already given Emperor Xue Ye the mixed poison prepared by Yang Wushuang. Why is she asking me this?"
"Do you want me to prepare a poison for her as a safety measure?"
However, Mu Ci didn't think about it for long and continued talking about the other party's topic.
"Medicine and poison are inseparable. Although I have never poisoned anyone, since I can use medicine to treat people, then from another perspective, I can naturally poison people."
"But this kind of thing doesn't benefit me, so I haven't done any research or achieved anything in this area."
"Your Highness, please do not be curious about this. If you don't master the poison technique well, you will hurt yourself."
Xue Qinghe smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "Little brother Mu Ci, you misunderstood. It's not that I want to learn poison techniques, but I have other requests."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, please speak." Mu Ci chuckled in his heart, wanting to see what kind of story this fake Crown Prince could come up with.
"Over the past few years, my father's health has been deteriorating day by day. I am worried about it."
"In the past few days, my father has been ill again and has been bedridden. Even the auxiliary Spirit Masters in the palace are unable to help him."
"I strongly suspect that someone has poisoned my father."
Having said that, Xue Qinghe's handsome face was filled with sorrow, and he rubbed his temples with his hands from time to time.
Looking at Xue Qinghe in front of him, who looked heartbroken for Emperor Xue Ye, Mu Ci couldn't help but marvel in his heart.
Qian Renxue's acting skills were amazing as she replaced Xue Qinghe for more than ten years without anyone noticing anything wrong.
Even Prince Xuexing and Xue Beng were killed only because of the accidental deaths of the two princes.
He believed that Xue Qinghe was ruthless and would do anything to gain the throne.
The two of them compromised and showed weakness for their own safety.
Even so, they never suspected that Xue Qinghe was someone else in disguise.
If Mu Ci hadn't known the whole story long ago, he might have been deceived.
"Why don't you look for Elder Ye of Nine-Star Begonia? He should still be in Heaven Dou City these days, right? Sect Master Ning of Seven Treasures City is also a good choice."
Mu Ci frowned slightly. It was not surprising that Emperor Xue Ye had some health problems.
As the royal family of the Heavenly Soul Empire, the Xue family did not have a Spirit as powerful as the Dai family of the Star Luo Empire.
The cultivation levels of emperors throughout the dynasties were not very high and were basically at the level of Soul King or Soul Emperor.
Soul Masters of this level were no different from ordinary people in terms of lifespan, so birth, aging, illness, and death were all very normal.
However, because he was a member of the royal family, if Emperor Xue Ye encountered a problem, even if the court Spirit Masters could not solve it, he could seek help from famous Spirit Masters from all over the country.
The most famous auxiliary Spirit Masters in the Heavenly Soul Empire were Master Ye of the Nine-Star Begonia and Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. No matter how you looked at it, it shouldn't be his turn.
It wasn't that he was not confident in his abilities, but that he was simply too young. It was understandable that he was not very capable and couldn't do things well in Douluo Continent.
For the sake of the emperor's life, it would be safer to seek help from these big figures.
"Alas, Elder Ye is powerless to do anything about this matter. You and I both know the effects of the Nine-Star Begonia. It's no exaggeration to say that it can bring the dead back to life. But Father's problem isn't about that."
"As for the teacher, to be honest, the royal family's worshiper is also a high-level Soul Sage of the auxiliary system, and his effect is not much different from that of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda."
"That's why my brother and I are extremely worried. I just happen to know that you are a very skilled doctor, so I came to you."
When Mu Ci heard about Xue Beng, he finally understood.
This was not because Xue Qinghe wanted to find him, but because he wanted Xue Beng to not be able to find him.
Everyone in Heaven Dou City knew that Poison Douluo Dugu Bo was a guest of honor of Prince Xuexing, and after Xue Beng knew about Xue Ye's situation, he would definitely go to discuss it with his uncle.
If Emperor Xue Ye could be cured in advance, wouldn't it be possible for him to surpass Xue Qinghe? Then, with some effort, he might even become the crown prince.
In order to seize this opportunity, Prince Xuexing would definitely look for Dugu Bo, and Dugu Bo would definitely look for him because of the agreement.
Therefore, Xue Qinghe became a little anxious at this time. If he really managed to detoxify the poison, his plan of more than ten years would be wasted.
Thinking of this, Mu Ci straightened his sitting posture.
At this moment, he didn't want to go around in circles with the eldest lady of the Spirit Hall in front of him.
Instead of playing the game of guessing me and guessing you, it was better to put the topic on the table.
The connection between their family and the Spirit Hall was definitely not inferior to anyone else. In terms of standing on the same side, he was on the same side as Qian Renxue.
"Your Highness, let's be frank!"
Xue Qinghe was stunned. What was going on?
Weren't they talking about Emperor Xue Ye? Why was he speaking so openly now?
"Little brother, what do you mean by that?"
"What I mean is, let's first talk about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Soul Empire."
"Why is it about being a girl?"
