Chapter 10: The Grand Deception

Royte was taken aback, turning around to find that it was indeed the reckless young man who had spoken. He couldn't help but be stunned and frowned, asking, "What did you say?"

A considerable number of onlookers have gathered around, and the sound of their discussions reaches my ears

Let us go!" Karl gritted his teeth. Although he longed to take revenge on Xu Feng himself, it was clearly impossible at this moment. Well, charging at the medical team would certainly lead to execution. It is just a pity for that elven beauty.

Does he not know that he is to be beheaded

... ...

Not long ago, the Emperor entrusted me with the task of seeking renowned physicians for the princess. This is indeed a thankless and arduous task. It must be noted that even His Holiness the Pope is powerless against the princess's illness. Where can one possibly find such renowned physicians?

Vaguely, Xu Feng felt that he had gotten himself into serious trouble

As the Emperor of the Empire, His Majesty the Fifteenth Bafiya is immensely wealthy, with countless concubines in his harem, who have borne him dozens of offspring. Among these royal nobles, the most favored are Princess Ailiya and the Master of Books.

Are you really a doctor

She is my assistant. As the saying goes, when there are many lice, one does not itch; when there are many debts, one does not worry; and when lies are told frequently, one does not blush.

A drop of cold sweat trickled down Xu Feng's forehead. From the discussions among the surrounding crowd, he had generally grasped the sequence of events. Dazed, he wondered how he could be so unfortunate. This time... things had taken a turn for the worse

I said I could cure the princess's illness

Could he be trying to escape the charges, speaking nonsense

At this moment, Xu Feng found himself in a very dangerous situation, surrounded by a group of fully armed knights. Swords were drawn, bows were drawn, and as he gazed at the glinting battle spears, the young man's heart began to feel uneasy... Could this not be the wedding procession?

Adult

The count's eyes were filled with suspicion, after all, Xu Feng's appearance did not resemble that of a renowned physician at all. In people's impressions, skilled medical practitioners, often referred to as the holy hands of the medical field, are usually elderly men with white hair and beard. Yet this young man was clearly no more than twenty years old.

Everyone knows of the Emperor's affection for Princess Alia. At this moment, to offend the imperial entourage seeking medical help is simply courting death. Unfortunately, Xu Feng was unaware of this... He still thought it was a wealthy family marrying off their daughter.

It is not a cold caused by wind and chill, nor has she ever been injured; she has simply remained in a coma. This has greatly distressed the Emperor. The imperial physicians have held consultations for half a day but have been unable to provide any explanation. The Emperor's wrath has been provoked, and several physicians have already been executed. Yet, no one has been able to determine the cause of the princess's illness. As he watches his beloved daughter grow weaker day by day, the Emperor even personally visited the temple. However, even the Holy Pontiff, with his omnipotent light magic, has still been unable to awaken the princess

Hmm. Xu Feng nodded; at this point, he could only brace himself and pretend.

The little princess is sixteen years old this year, exceptionally intelligent and stunningly beautiful. His Majesty the Emperor regards her as a precious jewel, almost granting her every wish, showering her with excessive affection. However, just recently, the little princess fell ill

Surrounding hetushu.com, his knights parted to create a path. A middle-aged man dressed as a noble rode forward and coldly glanced at Xu Feng: "Take him away and deal with him for disrespecting the royal family."

Reluctantly licking his lips, the baron felt a surge of wicked desire within him and turned to head towards the direction of the brothel

Indeed, I am not lying to you. Xu Feng began to fabricate a lie with a sincere expression: "My master is a reclusive renowned physician. I have been following my teacher to the mountains to gather herbs since I was young. What just happened was merely a misunderstanding. I originally came to the capital to treat the princess..."

Heavens, how dare you obstruct the procession seeking medical aid for the princess

"Wait a moment!" A voice entered my ears: "I can cure the princess's illness"

Poor fellow

At this moment, Xu Feng was also determined to take risks. Joking around and showing disrespect to the royal family was a crime that would certainly lead to execution in the Middle Ages. Xu Feng did not wish to meet an early demise, so he falsely claimed that he could cure the princess's illness, intending to first stabilize the situation with the other party, and then find a way to escape midway.

The count's expression was complex. To be honest, he did not believe Xu Feng's claims, but... His Majesty the Emperor had only given three days, and today was the final deadline. The situation could not possibly get any worse, so with the mindset of trying anything as a last resort, the count finally nodded: "Let him go!"

Earl Reitberg was in a very bad mood. Her Highness the Princess had been ill for half a month. During this time, the Emperor's temper had been extremely volatile, and several nobles had already been stripped of their titles for minor offenses. As the Grand Chamberlain, he could be said to be walking on thin ice, filled with trepidation.

Be bold, take him down for me

What should we do? The attendants exchanged glances with one another

As the emperor, could he truly bear to watch his daughter succumb to illness? Thus, Emperor Bafiya the Fifteenth issued a royal decree, seeking renowned physicians to treat the princess.

I am sorry for being a burden to you

The assistant's expression was somewhat peculiar, but at this moment, he had no mood to delve deeper into it. He ordered that the two be taken back to the palace, though their treatment would be vastly different from before. Having transformed from prisoners into "renowned doctors" treating Her Highness the Princess, at least until the lies were exposed, the two would enjoy good treatment. They were invited into the carriage, with knights clearing the way ahead, surrounded by attendants. Of course, whether those guards were there to protect or to prevent the two from escaping remained to be discussed.

A soft and melodious voice reached my ears. Turning around, I saw the fairy girl with an expression full of remorse. Xu Feng shook his head and said, "No matter what your situation is, that shameless baron is to blame. He is the one responsible for this. One day, I will make him pay the price."

The emperor has only granted three days' time, and perhaps after three days, I will no longer be a count, as I may be stripped of my title due to poor performance. Considering this, Reuter's mood can be described as exceedingly terrible

And before us is the procession seeking medical assistance

Nevertheless, for the time being, it is safe

"Then she is..." the count pointed to the elven girl who was lying on the back of the young man
