Divine Doctor: Daughter of the First Wife (Yang Shi Liu) 601

Confrontation

Xuan Tian Mo spoke on his own; however, the Emperor, who was seated on the throne, was thinking about something completely different from him. At this time, the old emperor turned his head and asked Zhang Yuan: “What did the one kneeling below say just now?” He was asking about the Persian medical practitioner. The Persian words had left the Emperor confused.

But with him being confused, Zhang Yuan was also confused! But since his master, the Emperor, had asked, he could not shake his head and use an ambiguous answer like “I don’t know” to irresponsibly handle it, thus he thought for a bit then said: “It’s most likely a greeting to Your Majesty. Something along the lines of long live Your Majesty or something like that! Either way, this is the first time meeting, so it would just be a salute and paying respects. Not much else could be said.”

The Emperor nodded and thought for a while, looking at the Persian; however, he muttered: “He does not look affable in the slightest. I wonder if all of the men from Persia look like this. With this sort of appearance, how can he practice medicine?”

Zhang Yuan rolled his eyes and quietly said: “If his medical abilities are good, that’s enough. What do you care what he looks like? It’s not as if you’re choosing girls for the palace.”

The Emperor and Zhang Yuan did not understand Persian and naturally could not understand what exactly that person was saying, and the eighth prince, Xuan Tian Mo, also did not understand Persian. In fact, it could be said that not a single person from Da Shun in the hall could understand Persian because Persia and Da Shun had not established diplomatic relations. There were other small countries in between, and the journey was far. Their languages were different, and the two sides had only heard stories of the other; however, there was no need for diplomatic relations.

Of course, not understanding was not understanding; however, it did not mean that there was no knowledge about it. At the very least, Feng Yu Heng could understand a bit. In truth, the so-called Persia was actually modern Iran, but in this era, it still belonged to Persia, and they spoke the ancient Persian language. Though it belonged to the same family as modern Iran’s language, there were still very big differences. It could be said that modern Iran’s language came about from the evolution of ancient Persian over the course of thousands of years, which even caused changes in the writing. It was very complicated. Feng Yu Heng was proficient in the language of Iran. Now with some guessing and conjecture, she pondered for a while; however, she also knew that the person had indeed said something along the lines of long live Your Majesty. It was just that it was said a bit bluntly.

The Emperor spoke to let him stand; however, he handed over the initiative to Xuan Tian Mo. After all, the person had been brought over by Xuan Tian Mo, and it was said that he would speak about Persian medicine. This caused the Emperor to feel a bit interested. He was already extremely curious about Feng Yu Heng’s ability to treat and save patients. Now that he heard that a Persian would personally speak about it, that was very much so capable of fulfilling his curiosity.

Xuan Tian Mo was rather intimate, telling the Emperor: “Father Emperor, this Persian practitioner of medicine also knows how to speak our Da Shun’s language. Son once spoke with him about the Persian medicine that younger sister had learned, but this practitioner had some different opinions.”

As he spoke, he gestured for the medical practitioner to speak, and the medical practitioner saluted to the Emperor once more, speaking in Chinese that was very awkward yet understandable: “His Highness the eighth prince once mentioned the Persian medicine that Imperial Daughter practiced, being able to use strange medical pills and tablets to save people and also being able to use a strange tube to pump water into a person’s body. Even more, she was able to use a blade to cut open a person’s skin and connect muscles to bone. This old one was extremely in awe upon hearing this because our Persia does not have this sort of medical technique!” The medical practitioner expressed his shock over this matter then began to speak about true Persian medicine.
