Cao Zhengchun was a slightly plump eunuch with gray hair at his temples. The corners of his eyes were a little sharp, and he had a seemingly harmless smile on his face. However, if one looked closely, he gave off a very evil feeling.
"Little Yu greets Eunuch Cao!"
Tian Boguang bowed and cupped his hands. He didn't pay too much attention to Cao Zhengchun. After being brought to the East Chamber by Eunuch Li, he had been very cautious. This made Eunuch Li very satisfied. It was a great advantage for a young man not to be impatient. At this moment, he only took a glance at Cao Zhengchun and immediately bowed.
"Oh? You're Little Yu. You're indeed a smart kid with good eyesight. It's just a pity that you've become a pitiful person like us!”Cao Zhengchun looked at Tian Boguang from head to toe and said with some regret.
"Eunuch Cao, you flatter me. This brat only has this lowly life. It is already a fluke that he can live until now. There is nothing to regret.”Tian Boguang immediately replied in a humble manner.
"I heard that you were already clean before you entered the palace. From the looks of it, you've also practiced martial arts. No matter what, it's better to mix in the martial arts world than to come to the palace, right?”Cao Zhengchun's eyes were fixed on him. Even though Tian Boguang had his head lowered, he could feel a sharp gaze on him. This made his heart tremble.
"I don't dare to expire, Eunuch. I was fighting with an enemy and unfortunately injured my subordinates. My strength was also damaged, so I chose to come to the palace. I'm content with just being able to live.”Tian Boguang said so. It was common to get injured there during martial arts competitions. Many sinister martial arts such as Monkey Steals Peaches were specifically used to hurt people there. Tian Boguang's statement was flawless, and it also explained why he came to the palace to be a eunuch.
Moreover, Cao Zhengchun's strength was far higher than Tian Boguang's. He had noticed Tian Boguang's condition the moment he entered the door. He was a second-rate expert but had the strength of a third-rate expert. That was why he asked the previous question.
"I didn't expect you to be so open-minded at such a young age. Although your lifeblood is gone, as long as you're still alive, everything is possible. Everything is illusory. Only your life is the most important.”
"I don't dare to compare myself to Cao Gong. I didn't think so much. I only thought that I would be satisfied if I could survive.”Tian Boguang didn't show any joy. He still looked cautious. No matter what Cao Zhengchun was thinking, there was nothing wrong with being careful.
Cao Zhengchun, who had been observing Tian Boguang, praised him for being able to remain calm despite his repeated praises. His attitude was as respectful as before. This made Cao Zhengchun praise him in his heart. He was a smart kid who knew how to conduct himself and see things. Moreover, from the matter of him sending things to find a backer, his temperament was decisive enough. He knew how to cause trouble. He was a talent!
"That's right. You're a talent. Although your strength is a bit weak now, you're a smart person. I'm also a person who loves talents. As for Imperial Physician Zhao, he is now the Divine Marquis's subordinate, so it is not easy to touch him for the time being. However, he cannot touch you either. You should go back and be your pharmacy eunuch first.”
"Yes, Little Yu understands! Thank you for taking me in, Eunuch!"
Hearing Cao Zhengchun's words, Tian Boguang immediately replied. He understood Cao Zhengchun's meaning. Imperial Physician Zhao was the Divine Marquis's man, and this Divine Marquis was referring to the Iron Gut Divine Marquis Zhu Bujue. Presumably, those missing blood corals and other medicinal herbs were used as a stepping stone by Cao Zhengchun to rely on Zhu Bujue. This could also explain why a group of imperial physicians suddenly joined in. It should be because of Zhu Bujue's orders and not the Emperor's path. The current Emperor was only a teenager. He had no power at all.
When Cao Zhengchun said that he would act according to the situation, he was merely telling him to think of a way to get the evidence to topple Imperial Physician Zhao. He wanted him to get rid of Imperial Physician Zhao himself. This was also Cao Zhengchun's test to see if he was a useful talent. He also guaranteed that Lin Cheng would not be punished for the previous incident with the herbs and that he would be able to fight against Imperial Physician Zhao.
After returning to the Imperial Physician Court, Tian Boguang acted as if nothing had happened. No matter what, with Cao Zhengchun as his backer, he did not have to worry about being punished and beheaded one day. The most important thing now was to seize the time to absorb Yin Qi to increase his strength. Then, he would think about how to deal with Imperial Physician Zhao and take revenge on Commander Guo. He had never forgotten Commander Guo's kick!
"Little Yu, you're a reliable eunuch in the pharmacy. You even got to know a big shot like Eunuch Cao.”
On this day, Tian Boguang, who had just finished his lunch, was preparing to return to the pharmacy to continue his cultivation. He did not expect to meet Imperial Physician Zhao face to face. After seeing Tian Boguang, he pretended to exclaim. The few new imperial physicians who followed him also looked at Tian Boguang with disdain.
Imperial Physician Zhao had coincidentally discovered that Tian Boguang was actually in contact with Cao Zhengchun. Only then did he know that Tian Boguang had actually become Cao Zhengchun's man without a sound. He was so depressed that he came to look for face.
Tian Boguang had always been working hard on his cultivation. He did not have much contact with these new imperial physicians. Because of his identity as a eunuch, these imperial physicians did not give him a good look. Now that they knew that he was together with Cao Zhengchun, who had an extremely bad reputation, although they were afraid in their hearts, they did not hide their disdainful expressions. It was obvious that they despised Tian Boguang.
"In that case, it's still Lord Imperial Physician Ling's Dao that is higher. This method of diverting trouble to the east and borrowing flowers to present Buddha is incomparably brilliant. I still need to learn more from you! Lord Imperial Physician Ling, you can come to the pharmacy more often when you have time. Recently, a few precious medicinal herbs have arrived!”
As Tian Boguang spoke, he didn't even look at Imperial Physician Zhao's gloomy face and left. As for those Imperial Physicians who looked down on him, why would he need them to look up to him? There was no need to lower himself to the same level as a group of people who would be beheaded at any time. Two years later, there would be a new batch.
"Humph!"
Imperial Physician Zhao looked at Tian Boguang's back and snorted unhappily. He had miscalculated. He had thought that he had found a scapegoat, but he did not expect Tian Boguang to find Cao Zhengchun as a backer. Now, not only could he not be used as a scapegoat, but he had also lost his authority over the pharmacy as an imperial physician. It could be said that he had lost both his wife and his soldiers.
That night, Tian Boguang was cultivating, and some uninvited guests came to the palace. Their target was the back palace not far from the Imperial Academy of Medicine!
