Chapter 185: Chapter 185 Hope
The room was as silent as death.
He Ying had not spoken for a long time, just staring intently at the pale, frail woman in front of him.
A Divine Doctor who couldn’t even cure her own illness, and an uninvited female healer at that, was hard to completely trust no matter how one looked at her.
After a long while,
Hong Zhao covered her mouth with a cough, then looked at Sang Yan: “Since the Emperor and Empress don’t trust this common girl, I shall take my leave.”
She said this and then called out towards the door, “Qing Wu, push me out.”
Her voice fell.
A maidservant clad in green, dressed as a maid, entered from outside.
She was also holding a small snow-white monkey in her arms.
As soon as the little monkey saw Hong Zhao, it eagerly jumped onto her, curling up obediently in her arms.
“Wait!”
Sang Yan was a bit anxious.
Having been influenced by what He Ying said, she too had doubts about Hong Zhao’s intentions, but skepticism aside, they couldn’t just let her leave.
As long as there was hope for a cure, they couldn’t let the opportunity slip away.
“This snow monkey is really cute.”
She casually picked a lighthearted topic.
Hong Zhao’s eyes showed confusion. “Does the Empress need something else?”
Sang Yan pursed her lips and took a compromise approach: “I see you’re unwell, why don’t you rest here for a couple of days?”
She knew that He Ying would send someone to verify Hong Zhao’s identity and her credibility.
What do you think?
