Chapter 257: 1 Merit of Curing Diseases and Saving Lives

"Don't tell this to anyone for now. Don't tell His Majesty either," Tao Yanyan advised.

Doctor Liu nodded and said, "Don't worry, Madam Tao, I am very tight-lipped. No matter if the thief is a man or a woman, if they break into your bedroom late at night and the news gets out, it will damage your reputation."

Tao Yanyan temporarily stopped this matter and asked Doctor Liu for medicine to treat the scar.

"Does the queen have any scars on her body?" asked Doctor Liu.

Tao Yanyan shook his head: "I asked for it from someone else. She hurt her face. She's still young, and I want to heal her."

Doctor Liu opened the medicine box and took out a small bottle of ointment: "If you apply it on your face, you should use this delicate ointment. Apply it three times a day, and it will be as good as new in less than two months."

Tao Yanyan took it and said, "Thank you, Doctor Liu. Qingfeng, go get the gift I prepared for Doctor Liu."

Doctor Liu declined, "It is my duty to help the Majesty. How can I ask for a gift from the Majesty? No, no!"

Tao Yanyan smiled and said, "Doctor Liu, don't think about refusing yet. Wait until you see what the gift is and then make a decision."

Qingfeng quickly brought a book over and handed it to Doctor Liu. Doctor Liu saw that it was a lost medical book and he became visibly excited.

"Hey, this, this is the lost 'Thousand Gold Prescription'? I heard from my master before that this medical book has long been lost, and the prescriptions recorded in it are priceless. If someone gets a prescription, just one of them will allow him to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life."

Doctor Liu was about to kneel down in front of Tao Yanyan, and Tao Yanyan quickly asked Mingyue to help him up.

"Why does Imperial Doctor Liu need such a big gift? This book was bought by Dong Fang when he went out of the palace. He bought it in a small study. He didn't know what kind of book it was. He only saw the title and thought it was a strange book about getting rich. The price was cheap and it was in an inconspicuous corner, so he bought it. I flipped through it and found that they were all prescriptions. I couldn't understand it either. I just wanted to give it to Imperial Doctor Liu to study. If the prescriptions on it are really effective, then it can be used to treat diseases and save lives, which is much more meaningful than keeping it in my hands."

Doctor Liu read a few pages and knew that this was an authentic prescription. He expressed his gratitude, "Your Majesty is truly the reincarnation of a living Bodhisattva. You gave me such a good thing without hesitation. I will accept it without hesitation. The prescriptions here are all rare and good ones. If they can be circulated, it will be a great deed."

Doctor Liu left happily, happier than when he received any reward before.

After seeing off Imperial Physician Liu, Tao Yanyan took Qingfeng and Mingyue around the entire Changchun Palace, mainly to see if there were any traces of footprints or the like, but unfortunately they found nothing.

This matter weighed on Tao Yanyan's mind. She asked Chang Tai and Dong Fang to be more vigilant in the next few days to see if the thief would come again.

The maid who had obtained Tao Yanyan's blood had already fled in the night. She delivered the blood bottle to the place agreed with the hall master, and then returned to the palace to be a quiet and inconspicuous maid, waiting for her chance to act.

For two consecutive days, Dong Fang and Chang Tai took turns on duty at night, but no one was found coming. Tao Yanyan was relieved and even doubted whether he had guessed wrong that the marks on the window were shoe prints.

A mysterious team suddenly arrived in Cao County, not far from the capital. Leading them was a handsome man in his twenties dressed in black.

He lived in a small inn and looked at his subordinates with cold eyes: "How long will I have to stay here? Is this how the people you sent out do things? Why are there no results yet?" After saying that, his face turned pale and he covered his chest and gasped.

The subordinate standing by said tremblingly: "Master, please calm down. It is true that the person has a special status and it is difficult for ordinary people to approach him. We have finally placed someone there and have been looking for an opportunity for the past few months. Master Fang sent a message saying that the blood has been successfully obtained and is on the way to be delivered at full speed. Please wait for another day, the blood will definitely be delivered."

The man snorted coldly, looked at the room he lived in, and said disdainfully: "Look at what kind of living place you have arranged? It's so shabby, how can it be worthy of my status?"

Although the Demon Cult is not a decent organization, its power should not be underestimated. It also has its own legitimate industries and earns considerable income. When has the dignified leader of the Demon Cult ever lived in such a small room and slept in such a simple bed?

His bedroom was magnificent and looked like heaven. Now, looking at the cheapness of the people around him who were not worthy of him, he was really angry.

The subordinate was trembling with fear, and roaring in his heart: "We are out here, we can't move the whole magnificent palace here, right? Now that we are out, don't make so many demands. We are here to confirm their identities and find your antidote, not to enjoy ourselves."

The black-clothed man calmed down and said, "I don't know if the Great Protector is right or not. He just took a quick glance on the shore and said that the woman looked like my grandmother and was my sister. My mother only had me as her legitimate son, so how could there be a sister? It was because that old man was a playboy when he was young and got into trouble with other women. Seventeen years have passed. My mother sent people to get rid of that woman. I heard that she was pregnant with a baby. Maybe my cheap sister is already dead."

The subordinate said respectfully: "Maybe she didn't die back then? If we can really confirm that this is the Lord's sister, it's actually a good thing. At least her blood can extend the life of the Lord, and it can be regarded as her repaying the debt owed to the Lord on behalf of her mother."

"Oh, repaying a debt? Because of her mother's endless struggle with that old immortal, my mother's temperament changed drastically. In a rage, she beat me up when I was young, leaving me with this lifelong heart palpitations. For so many years, I have been in charge of the Demon Cult, spending much more energy than a normal person. How can I repay all these debts? She'd better be able to cure my illness, otherwise, I will ask her for it back with interest!"

His tone was chilling, and even the subordinates who were used to the Demon Lord's ruthless methods felt like a gust of cold wind blowing through them, chilling them to the bone.

A day later, the blood that was collected with great difficulty was finally sent to Cao County. The Demon Lord of the Demon Cult used blood to test the relationship, and after the two drops of blood merged, a rare faint smile appeared on his face.

"God really helps me. I didn't expect that she really didn't die!"

"Congratulations, Master. Congratulations, Master. It looks like your heart disease can be cured!" Everyone in the Demon Cult was very happy. Finding the Demon Lord's half-sister was simply the biggest happy event in their Demon Cult in recent years.

Tao Yanyan had no idea about all this.

Seeing that Chang Tai and Dong Fang had been guarding for many days without any abnormality, she gradually forgot about the matter and continued to eat and drink, not knowing what would be waiting for her in the future.
