Huangfu Lingyao was nearly scared to death by her, thinking that she had discovered something extraordinary!
But what she said was not a trivial matter!
He hastily restrained his seductive expression, seamlessly switching to a clear and innocent face. But inside, his heart skipped a beat. He thought, ‘Has she really found something?’
Instantly, he felt very nervous; his heartbeat was even faster than before!
Liu Shimei quickly revealed her discovery. “Lingyao, just now it seemed like I diagnosed your pulse, and there was something deeply hidden, as if… as if a certain meridian was being suppressed by something!”
Huangfu Lingyao’s heart skipped a beat.
Liu Shimei was not strong in traditional Chinese medicine. After coming to this era, she had been diligently improving her skills in Chinese medicine. However, she did not understand the non-scientific elements of this era—martial arts and inner strength!
So, she did not realize what was suppressing that meridian. Qi Yang had also diagnosed Huangfu Lingyao’s pulse, perhaps noticing something, but—
Liu Shimei continued, “It passed quickly, almost like my illusion! So, my master and I discussed it. He said your pulse was indeed a bit strange, but he couldn’t figure it out either.”
Hearing this, Huangfu Lingyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked up, meeting his gaze, and said, “Lingyao, did you learn martial arts when you were young?”
“I…” Huangfu Lingyao felt cold sweat forming on his back!
He looked bewildered and thought for a moment, “Maybe I did learn, but I don’t remember!”
Oh no, oh no, I’m lying again!
Liu Shimei was completely absorbed in her discovery of his pulse and did not notice his change in expression. She continued, “You definitely practiced martial arts! I have to find some time to ask Imperial Physician Shu about your past condition!”
In his royal position, Liu Shimei felt a bit special and awkward. Asking others for information made her uneasy, afraid they might lie.
However, Shu Han’s son was her disciple. In this regard, even if Shu Han hid things from her, it was at least not based on deception!
Inside, Huangfu Lingyao felt bitter. He had to maintain an excited smile and said, “If I practiced martial arts, would I be very powerful? Could I fight against that Lang Hua?”
Lang Hua…
Liu Shimei could not help but laugh. She pinched his cheek and said, “You think you can beat Zhong Lang?”
Huangfu Lingyao glanced at her, then turned his head, his small eyes filled with stubbornness.
He decided to remain silent; fewer words meant fewer mistakes!
But Liu Shimei was immersed in her excitement. She said, “I don’t understand how internal energy is cultivated, so I’m not sure if the meridian suppressing your power is a martial meridian. So, even if you practiced martial arts as a child, you might not remember the techniques now, and you can’t use your inner energy.”
She analyzed slowly, saying, “But you’re very strong, much stronger than ordinary people. And whatever suppressed this meridian, I wonder if it was a drug you mistakenly took in the past, or perhaps… another method?”
Considering conspiracy theories, it might not be someone deliberately harming him behind his back!
Huangfu Lingyao silently stared at the back of her head, thinking, ‘How many holes does this little brain have? How can she think of everything? She seizes upon the tiniest clues and can weave a whole story out of them!’
However, he remained silent, maintaining a silly look on his face as he watched her.
Liu Shimei was lost in her thoughts until the carriage stopped. Lian Qiao said from outside, “Eldest Young Miss, we’ve returned to the Fusheng Pavilion.” Only then did she snap out of her thoughts.
She wished she could immediately ask Lu Ying to turn back and find Shu Han. But thinking of Shu Han being in the palace, entering was possible, but her identity was inconvenient. She thought it would be simpler to send a message through Shu Jun. So, she led Huangfu Lingyao out of the carriage.
It had been quite some time; the almsgiving had undoubtedly ended. After entering the hall, Xu Xian came over and said, “Eldest Young Miss, Ninth Young Master has already sent out the messages according to our plan..”
