The World's Number One Medical Hall

Chapter Fifty-Four: Rest Assured

"After I brought you out that day..." Tie Xiong's voice slowly echoed in the room.

Mo Bai had already taken the medicine and was still lying quietly on the bed, listening to Tie Xiong recount the story after he escaped that day.

Actually, the journey from the attack site to here is not complicated.

On that day, Tie Xiong never actually appeared in Jin Hai. The two brothers who entered Jin Hai on that rainy night were actually his fellow disciples in disguise.

Normally, it would be difficult to succeed, but on that day, the attack on the Ming King caused a huge uproar. How could the Jin Hai City Pass, which was so close by, not know about it? So before the Ming King entered the pass, they didn't dare to stop him or even investigate him, for fear of getting burned. At such a sensitive time, they might end up being accused of trying to assassinate the Ming King.

Therefore, on a rainy night, his two fellow disciples, wearing straw hats, galloped to the city gate. Before they even got close, they roared, "The Ming King is entering the city! Who among you dares to stop him?"

This sound was truly like a whirlwind, and no one dared to utter a sound as they hurriedly retreated, allowing it to advance unimpeded. From beginning to end, no one doubted that the person on the galloping warhorse was none other than the Ming King himself.

……

In fact, all of this was achieved by taking advantage of Mo Bai's final threat before leaving, which gave Tie Xiong and the others a temporary respite from their pursuers. It was during this short period that they were able to complete the perilous transfer of power.

When the dynasty realized what was happening and its troops entered Tianjin to search for the Ming King, Tie Xiong had already led Mo Bai towards Beihe Province.

Needless to say, the journey involved several cover-ups and twists and turns, but fortunately, his fellow disciples were all skilled at escaping, and they eventually succeeded in entering Beihe.

"At first, I didn't know that you, Sixth Master, were injured to such an extent. I thought you had suffered internal injuries from the battle with that Taoist priest, which caused you to fall into a coma. Originally, we were just going to rest here for a while. Because of your noble status, Your Highness, once you entered Jin Hai, you would not be able to hide your whereabouts. If the Imperial Court could not find you, they would definitely suspect something was amiss. Staying in Beihe was not a long-term solution. But unexpectedly, your condition suddenly deteriorated. You fell into a coma and never woke up again. It seemed that you might fall into a coma at any moment... Therefore, we had no choice but to stay here temporarily, hide carefully, and wait for you to wake up. Now, eight days have passed since that day!" Tie Xiong finished recounting the whole story.

Of course, some things were concealed, such as what had happened between the two brothers.

Even now, he still hasn't revealed that those people are actually his fellow disciples. When traveling the martial world, one must be cautious and never let one's guard down.

"Where... is he?" Mo Bai listened quietly to everything, his gaze lingering on Tie Xiong's face for a moment, then he managed to utter two words with great difficulty.

Tie Xiong, however, could understand what Mo Bai meant and knew that he was asking about other people.

"Because we don't know when you'll wake up, if too many people get there, it'll be easy to expose our whereabouts. So I simply had the others go ahead and wait for us in Mingzhu," Tie Xiong said softly, his eyes slightly lowered.

Mo Bai blinked, indicating that he understood. At this moment, he did not feel anything unusual. After all, he knew his own situation and even now, he could not guarantee that he would survive.

Tie Xiong's friends have participated in this major event and have gone this far, which is already more than enough. How can they stay here and take such a huge risk, waiting for eight days?

Of course, as for whether he had any thoughts about the friends Tie Xiong mentioned, he certainly did.

However, he did not intend to ask now. In fact, since Tie Xiong was still protecting him to this day, there was no need to mention those people on horseback that day. No matter what their relationship with Tie Xiong was, at least Tie Xiong had not betrayed him.

But before he could ask, Tie Xiong spoke up: "Sixth Master, I don't know the people on horseback that day."

His voice was sincere and not urgent, which made Mo Bai slightly startled. However, seeing that he had taken the initiative to speak, the corners of his mouth still managed to curl up slightly, as if he wanted to show a smile, and he weakly uttered a single word: "Chen..."

"Junior Brother Chen?" Tie Xiong reacted very quickly. In fact, he was not stupid. He often recalled that day and naturally remembered how much impact his angry roar at the people on horseback had had.

Mo Bai blinked to indicate her agreement, then looked at him quietly, her gaze pure and untainted.

Clearly, this was to tell Tie Xiong that he trusted him, and therefore he did not hide his doubts.

"I was just about to tell Your Highness about this!" Tie Xiong's expression darkened slightly, and his voice became noticeably quieter: "That day, you instructed the Princess to send Ning'er back..."

Actually, Tie Xiong was being a bit rash at this moment. How could he tell Mo Bai about his current physical condition?

This would definitely disturb his peace of mind and be detrimental to his recuperation. However, Tie Xiong was a man of strong character after all. He had to suppress this matter in front of his fellow disciples, but at this moment, in front of the Ming King, he really couldn't hold back.

"Ning'er...stealing...torture...Chen Zhiqi kicks down the royal carriage...being chased...being followed...killing the Ming King..."

When Tie Xiong recounted this series of stories, his tone was noticeably different from his previous calm. Even though he didn't reveal any ferocity, the way he occasionally gritted his teeth made Mo Bai understand the anger in his heart.

However, it was clear that his emotions were much clearer.

Although he already knew who Ning'er was from his memories, he was, after all, an outsider. Even though he felt a little reluctant, he was still able to remain rational.

However, he finally understood everything. In fact, Tie Xiong had already understood that after these words, a trap had been easily set up in front of him.

"This dynasty is truly on the verge of collapse!" Mo Bai remained silent for a long time before sighing inwardly.

He would never have known such a secret if he hadn't happened to overhear that conversation while he was "in a coma" that day.

But by this time, how could they not understand that another group of people already knew the situation and therefore set up another scheme to sabotage the royal plan and kill someone with a borrowed knife?

The key figures in this matter could only be Emperor Dingwu, Zhang Bangli, and Zhang Danshi.

Emperor Dingwu himself would never reveal the slightest secret. He even refused to change his physician without hesitation, and even the Empress was unaware of it, which shows how well he kept it a secret.

Therefore, the one who caused the problem must be either Zhang Bangli or Zhang Danshi. It is conceivable that they were able to participate because they must be the most trusted and reliable close ministers of Emperor Dingwu.

However, the news still leaked out. Mo Bai couldn't help but sigh. It was terrifying that the supreme emperor of the nation could have such a problem with such a secretive matter, which could have easily led to him being accused of "poisoning his son" and committing a serious crime of moral depravity, and even losing his throne.

Given this situation, what can Emperor Dingwu possibly accomplish? He doesn't even have this much control over his country. How can his dynasty not fall?

"I... know... don't worry!" Mo Bai slowly opened his mouth and managed to utter a complete sentence.
