After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

Chapter 175 Cooperation

As for the matter about the blind doctor, she would make a decision after confirming the attitudes of both parties. She had no intention of revealing the truth at this time.

In the next few days, Yuan Qing paid special attention to Mu Xiaoxiao's movements.

She just wanted to know whether the person who was watching her silently from behind was the one she was thinking about.

As usual, Mu Xiaoxiao would go to the Imperial Hospital to get something before going out.

Yuan Qing followed her closely, and Mu Xiaoxiao also knew about this.

When turning around the rockery, Yuan Qing heard the familiar sound of wheels again.

"It's really you."

The man in the wheelchair stiffened and subconsciously wanted to leave.

But Yuan Qing would never let him go, so he walked around to him, blocked the wheel with his foot, and said to him, "Let's pick a place to talk."

Doctor Mu was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and Yuan Qing pushed him away.

The two arrived behind the rockery.

There are few people passing by here, so it's a good place to talk.

Doctor Mu seemed very nervous.

He wasn't sure what the man in front of him wanted to say. He had followed Mu Xiaoxiao for several days and naturally knew that this man was very close to Mu Xiaoxiao and was the person she trusted the most.

Thinking of this, Doctor Mu clenched his hands. The pain in his wrists seemed unable to calm him down.

Yuan Qing looked at his expression and asked, "Doctor Mu, do you know who I am?"

He shook his head.

Yuan Qing continued, "Mu Xiaoxiao is mine, Doctor Mu should understand this."

She deliberately provoked the man with words, but he was too patient and never got angry at her. Even when his emotions were most exposed, he just clenched his hands.

Yuan Qing sighed, "Xiao Xiao often told me about the past. She was still very young when she left home, so she doesn't remember many things clearly. She said that her greatest wish in life was to avenge her master, and..."

Doctor Mu seemed to have no reaction, but his slightly forward leaning body had actually revealed his thoughts.

"And his senior brother, Ruan Chenjiu."

When Doctor Mu heard this, his body trembled slightly and even his breathing became a little rapid.

Yuan Qing continued to provoke him, "I also helped her look for him, but there was no trace of him in the world. I didn't want to make her sad, so I lied to her and said that her senior brother had died when he was thrown off the mountain. This was told to me by an old beggar in the local area. Do you think she believed it?"

Yuan Qing watched his expression carefully, not wanting to miss even a single detail.

"She believed it and cried her heart out that night. If she hadn't avenged her master personally, she would have swallowed poison and followed her brother that night."

Doctor Mu finally spoke up after hearing her words: "Why are you telling me this?"

"You have been with her for a long time, right?" Yuan Qing smiled. "If I am not mistaken, you actually care about her a lot. If you hadn't said hello behind her back, it would have been impossible for Xiaoxiao to be in the Imperial Hospital so easily. This is her first time in Beijing, and she probably doesn't have many powerful friends in the whole capital, let alone the palace. I have already inquired about it, and I am afraid that the only one who has the power to help her during this period is you, Doctor Mu. Tell me if I am right, Mr. Ruan. No, I should call you Doctor Ruan."

When his identity was revealed, Ruan Chenjiu suddenly let go of his hand.

But he still maintained a natural guard against Yuan Qing, and his eyes, covered by white cloth, looked straight in her direction, as if he could see through her thoughts through the thick cloth.

Yuan Qing let him stare at her like that.

The two were relatively speechless.

Ruan Chenjiu smiled sadly and spread his hands on the armrest, "Even if I admit it, so what? I am not the same person I was before."

"This is what I want to tell you," Yuan Qing took a step forward, "As her master, I don't want her to be trapped in the past and never be able to see the glory of the future. She is still young and has a bright future -"

Yuan Qing stared at him closely and said, "So, I don't want you to appear in front of her. Forgive my impoliteness, Doctor Ruan, given your current state, if you appear in front of Xiaoxiao, what do you think you will bring to her?"

It should be a burden.

Ruan Chenjiu leaned back, his pale face full of sorrow.

He also knew that he was now a useless waste.

The person in front of him was right. He really shouldn't appear in front of Xiaoxiao again and add unnecessary burden and hatred to her.

"I understand," Ruan Chenjiu said hoarsely, "Don't worry, I will never appear in front of Xiaoxiao in this life."

Yuan Qing nodded with satisfaction. "That's good. I believe that Dr. Ruan is a man who keeps his promises and will not break his word. Then I can let her go without any worries."

She was about to leave when Ruan Chenjiu called out from behind, "Wait, what did you just say? Where do you want her to go?"

Yuan Qing turned around, with a look of deep displeasure between his eyebrows, "She is my subordinate, why do you care where I send her!"

When Ruan Chenjiu heard the man was about to leave, he actually forgot his own situation and struggled to get out of the wheelchair to stop him.

Yuan Qing quickly grabbed his wheelchair which was about to slide away and straightened him up, saying helplessly: "Why do you have to? I won't hurt her. Since you have decided not to intrude into her life anymore, then where she goes is none of your business."

Ruan Chenjiu grabbed her clothes tightly, as if he was determined to get an answer.

Yuan Qing could only tell him the plan: "Since you are Xiaoxiao's trusted senior brother, it's okay to tell you. I will send her back to the Divine Doctor Valley to find the former Valley Master."

"No!" Ruan Chenjiu stopped her immediately after hearing this, "She can't go back!"

"why?"

"Because..." Ruan Chenjiu seemed a little hesitant, "She is no match for that man. If she goes back alone, not only will she fail to rescue her master, but she will also lose her own life!"

He said this with a somewhat anxious tone, "Is this how you act as a master? You watch your men die. Is she just a pawn of yours?!"

Yuan Qing looked at him with a smile in her eyes, leaning against the rockery, "Finally I forced out your true thoughts."

Ruan Chenjiu was stunned, "What do you mean?"

"It's nothing," Yuan Qing walked out from behind him, "I just want to cooperate with the person behind you. After all, I don't have enough information, and I need someone who knows the inside story to fill in the gap for me. I promised Xiaoxiao that I would help her get revenge, but my ability is limited. I have been lurking for many years and have only planted one or two people, and that is under the premise of sacrifice. After thinking about it, I still think you are the most suitable, but I can't figure out your thoughts, so I can only test you."

Yuan Qing was somewhat unsure of Ruan Chenjiu's attitude at this moment.

He got rid of his previous impatience and turned back into the medical genius who was independent of this world. The name Chen Jiu really suits him.

If he hadn't had this injury, he would be famous all over the world now.
