Chapter 533: Chapter 535: Back from the Dead

"Do you really think this is true?" a few palace maids whispered together.

"It’s possible. You haven’t seen Doctor Shao’s medical skills; he’s practically omnipotent."

"Nonsense, how can someone dead come back to life unless they were never dead to begin with?" an older palace maid retorted.

"That’s not necessarily true either. Doctor Shao can even cure those whom the Imperial Physician has declared beyond help."

"That... makes sense." The maids fell silent.

"Enough, let’s stop speculating. Just go and see for yourself," one of the maids interrupted, leading the way to the side hall.

In the courtyard, Shao He and others naturally noticed a few sneaky palace maids outside.

Yan Ze glanced at Shao He and coughed lightly, "What are you doing there!"

The maids turned pale with fright, as Pei Huaian strode over and demanded, "Speak!"

Just as they were about to run away, a roar came, "If anyone dares to take another step, it is conspiring with the murderer, and they will be executed."

"We’ve seen the Crown Prince." The maids lowered their eyes and bowed.

Pei Huaian scanned them indifferently, "What exactly is going on?"

The maids dared not speak further, exchanging uneasy glances.

Eventually, one maid gathered her courage, "Your Highness, we admire Doctor Shao’s medical skills, hearing he can resurrect the dead, so we wanted to see for ourselves."

"You have quite the nerve!"

"Your Highness, spare us, spare us!" the maids pleaded on their knees.

Yan Ze reminded, "Aren’t you starting your performance?"

Shao He smiled lightly, stepping forward, "Do you really want to see my medical skills?"

The maids trembled, "Yes, yes."

"I just happen to need a few helpers, come inside with me," Shao He suggested, raising an eyebrow.

The maids, in disbelief, "You’re not joking with us, are you, Doctor?"

"Do I look like I’m joking with you?"

"But..." the maids were nervous.

"Don’t worry, just do as I say, and you’ll leave safely."

After Shao He finished speaking, she turned her gaze towards Pei Huaian, "Isn’t that right, Your Highness?"

Pei Huaian nodded, "Yes."

The maids, upon hearing this, eagerly agreed.

Hence, they followed Shao He to a room where the maids, under her instructions, opened the windows and doors and lit incense.

Shao He pulled back the white cloth covering Ah Lan, and Yan Ze, seeing the pale, closed-eyed figure, whispered, "Are you sure you can do this?"

"We’ll see," Shao He responded.

She took out the prepared silver needles and thrust them directly into Ah Lan’s body; the formerly motionless body suddenly sat up and opened its eyes.

"Ah..." Yan Ze was startled by the sudden scene.

The maids were even more terrified, collapsing on the ground, their faces white as paper.

"This, this person..."

"Really came back to life?"

"My God, Doctor Shao really can resurrect the dead, it’s just, it’s miraculous."

"Quick, close the windows," Shao He shouted.

Yan Ze and the maids obediently closed the windows, and the room instantly darkened. Shao He took out two more silver needles and inserted them into the temples on either side; Ah Lan’s body lay down once more.

The maids breathed a sigh of relief.

"Did she really come back to life?" Yan Ze asked, frowning.

Though he knew it was all fictitious, the moment he saw Ah Lan sit up, he suddenly felt as if Shao He really could bring her back to life.

Shao He’s lips twitched, even the coroner had declared Ah Lan dead, how could she possibly bring her back to life, she was just a Doctor, not a deity.

Yan Ze, feeling Shao He’s gaze as though viewing him as an idiot, to ease the awkwardness, coughed lightly, "That’s enough, all of you go back now, and don’t speak of tonight’s events to anyone, or you know the consequences."

"Yes, Master Yan."

The maids hurried out of the room, the scene they had witnessed too shocking.

Pei Huaian watching the departing figures, "Now we just quietly wait."

"Yes, the fish has taken the bait; he will surely come again to investigate,"

The three exchanged a smile and turned to leave the room, locking the door behind them.

With the faint candlelight, they could roughly make out the figure lying on the bed, it was indeed Ah Lan.

He approached closer to examine, Ah Lan’s body was full of silver needles.

The man in black pulled out a dagger from his bosom, about to stab the figure on the bed again when the door suddenly burst open.

Shao He entered, yawning, "There’s no need to kill anymore; he’s already dead, he can’t possibly come back to life, I don’t have the skills to resurrect."

The man in black slowly turned around, realizing at that moment that he had been deceived.

Yan Ze snapped his folding fan shut and laughed, "I thought you wouldn’t come back tonight. Indeed, a killer’s instincts made you lose your judgment."

It’s the killer’s instinct to make sure their target is dead, and because of this, they got caught.

"So, who are you working for?"

The man in black was about to escape through the window when he saw countless arrows aimed at him.

"Do you think you can still escape?" Pei Huaian said with a cold laugh.

Suddenly, the man in black plucked the silver needles from Ah Lan’s body and hurled them at Shao He.
