The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1627 - 1714: Six of One, Half a Dozen of the Other

Bai Xian’s injuries are gradually healing. Since that day, Shu Yu has not come again.

Bai Xian was disheartened by this, but he did not wallow in despair for long. He had gone through great lengths to get himself admitted here, with considerable ambitions in mind, and could not let some matters cause all his previous efforts to go to waste, else wouldn’t that be putting the cart before the horse?

Once his health improved, he began to walk around.

He visited from door to door, sometimes going to see Liu Yi and Bazak. He had always been mindful of Liu Yi taking his pulse before, feeling that this person seemed to be probing him. But despite visiting several times, he gained no significant insights, and as for Qinghe... he appeared there a few times too.

Ostensibly, he went to pay respects to Qinghe Zhengjun, outwardly presenting an appearance as if he had been completely bewitched by the Mind-Bewitching Gu, acting like a naive and foolish person, yearning for the Eighth Princess all day long, yet secretly he searched for an opportunity to strike at Qinghe.

The purpose of his going there had two main goals: one being the Eighth Princess, and the other being Qinghe.

Since the life and death of the Eighth Princess were uncertain, and finding her was temporarily impossible, he thought it might be worthwhile to deal with Qinghe first.

Qinghe felt that Bai Xian seemed rather peculiar.

This feeling was ineffable and hard to describe; if one had to attribute it, it could possibly be called intuition.

Due to the influence of this intuition, the deeply suspicious Qinghe had Ah Lian investigate Bai Xian. Through this investigation, they actually uncovered something.

That day, when Bai Xian routinely came to ’pay respects’ to Qinghe, he heard the sound of flute music before even entering the door.

Qinghe’s flute music was extraordinarily poignant and evocative, showcasing a profound mastery of music.

Having lived in the Zhu Family Main House, this wasn’t the first time Bai Xian heard Qinghe perform music, but each time, it left him with different impressions. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

This person truly possessed exceptional talent!

Sadly... Bai Xian shook his head gently in secret, then immediately put on an appearance of being moved to tears, saying, "Zhengjun, whenever I hear your flute, I don’t know why, but I always think of the person I’ve been longing for."

Qinghe lowered the jade flute slowly and turned to Bai Xian, "Is this person you long for the Madam of the Liang Family, Lady Dong?"

Bai Xian was suddenly taken aback. "Zhengjun, what do you mean by this? How come Bai Xian does not understand?"

Qinghe’s lips curled into a faint smile, "You don’t need to understand, just as I don’t need to understand why you profess your love for another, yet still meticulously lurk near the Eighth Princess, outwardly displaying deep affection, but secretly hiring assassins from the Assassin Alliance to target the Princess."

Bai Xian’s secrets had all been laid bare.

Qinghe lifted his robe and slowly took a seat. He poured himself a cup of tea. If one disregarded his inner nature and looked solely at his appearance, he indeed embodied refinement and elegance.

Bai Xian struggled to maintain his composure, but internally he felt rather helpless. But as they say, even if you lose, don’t lose face; he retorted, "Indeed, whether understanding or not understanding, there’s not much difference. Just like Zhengjun, despite suffering from the Mind-Bewitching Gu, your mind has never been swayed by it, and you still put up a fond couple act with the Eighth Princess. Therefore, you and I are just about equally matched."

Is this the pot calling the kettle black?

Qinghe glanced at him, "I don’t know how deep your schemes are, but I feel you are akin to a fool."

Qinghe took a sip of tea and then leisurely said, "In fact, I somewhat admire your courage, daring to speak so brashly before me. Do you realize where you are, and that everyone around you belongs to me! With just a word from me, your head could immediately roll!"
