Yu Youniang only discovered at the age of five that her mother was actually the true daughter of the Yong'an Marquis Estate, who had been separated from them for over twenty years.
The da...
Chapter 109 What is a Buddha's Son? The Son of Buddha?
Wei Zhao finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Youning, even though I know thanking you is useless, I still want to thank you!"
Yu Youning really helped him so much!
If it weren't for Yu Youning, he and his mother would probably have died this time.
He was not afraid of death, but he did not want his mother to die tragically, and he did not want those who harmed him and his mother to live freely.
Fortunately, he met Youning!
Chu Huaixu looked at Yu Youning curiously, "Youning, why do you carry a poisonous insect with you? I've never seen you use it before."
Yu Youning's eyes rolled around.
She would never say that she had just asked her father to give her this to play with this morning.
Seeing that Yu Youning just smiled but didn't say anything, Chu Huaixu didn't ask any more questions.
Soon, the carriage stopped.
The three of them got off the carriage and followed Lord Gou inside.
A lot of people were seen along the way, and everyone looked at Yu Youning eagerly.
Yu Youning walked with his head held high, without any fear or embarrassment.
Just her calm and composed appearance made the Nanzhao delegation look at her with a higher regard.
When he entered the room and saw Wei Xu sleeping, Yu Youning checked him carefully.
Finally, acupuncture was performed with gold needles and careful observation was performed.
In fact, he just took advantage of the time when the golden needles were pricking his acupoints to put the Gu into Wei Xu's body.
Yu Youning put away the golden needle and said seriously, "I already know what's going on with him."
Lord Gou instantly perked up, "Little genius doctor, please speak!"
"He's having trouble acclimatizing. He'll fall into a deep sleep once he arrives in Dayong. If he doesn't leave soon, he'll just die in his sleep."
"If you want to save him, send him away from Dayong as soon as possible. As long as he leaves Dayong, he will wake up immediately."
Lord Gou had seen cases of acclimatization before, but this was the first time he had seen life-threatening acclimatization.
"This... little genius doctor, could it be that he made a mistake? It took several days from entering Dayong to reaching the capital, but the Third Prince was fine at that time!"
“It just didn’t show up.”
"This is a good thing. If it had been revealed earlier, the outbreak would have been faster, and you probably wouldn't have had the chance to get him out of Dayong."
"I've said everything I need to say. It's up to you whether you listen or not!"
After saying that, Yu Youning hugged her arms and turned to look out the window.
She wanted to imitate her master and act profound. Her master liked it this way when he was being mysterious.
But Yu Youning didn't know that in the eyes of others, her current appearance not only did not show the slightest bit of depth and obsession, but instead she looked silly and cute, with a little bit of tsundere, which was enough to melt people's hearts.
Lord Gou looked at Yu Youning like this and was even more afraid to believe what Yu Youning said.
Catching sight of Chu Huaixu from the corner of his eye, Lord Gou immediately bowed deeply to him and said, "Your Highness, may I ask—"
Before Lord Gou could finish speaking, Chu Huaixu interrupted him.
"Master Gou, Youning is the last disciple of the Medicine King Valley's master. If you don't believe her, I'm afraid we can only ask the Medicine King Valley's master to treat her. But the master is difficult to invite, and I don't know if the Third Prince can wait that long..."
Lord Gou looked at Yu Youning in disbelief, "This... the little genius doctor is actually the last disciple of the master of Medicine King Valley? I didn't recognize him! Since the little genius doctor said so, I think he can't be wrong. I will arrange for someone to send the third prince back, but-"
"Master Gou, if you have any troubles, please feel free to tell me."
"However, only the Third Prince has come from the royal family this time. If another prince were to come at the last minute, I think he would be too late. How would we proceed with the competition?"
Chu Huaixu thought for a moment and looked at Wei Zhao, "Isn't there still the Seventh Prince?"
"Seventh Prince?"
Lord Gou looked at Wei Zhao, not knowing what to say for a moment.
If Wei Zhao were to lead Nanzhao to participate in the competition, wouldn't that elevate Wei Zhao's status?
If he wins in the end, Wei Zhao will become a hero of Nanzhao and be respected and loved by the people.
By then, wouldn’t the queen be so angry that she would die?
What should I do if I take my anger out on him?
Seeing that Lord Gou was hesitant to speak, Chu Huaixu didn't care. "Lord Gou, you can consider this matter slowly. Let's arrange to send the Third Prince back first. This matter cannot be delayed."
This remark woke Lord Gou up from his dream, and he nodded in agreement and made arrangements immediately.
After Lord Gou left, Yu Youning, Wei Zhao and Chu Huaixu looked at each other, their eyes filled with smiles.
Things are going even better than expected.
Lord Gou is really capable of taking action. An hour later, someone escorted Wei Xu back to Nanzhao.
Wei Xu had already left, and there was nothing more for Yu Youning and the other two to do here, so they left directly.
After leaving the post station, the carriage did not return to the Imperial College, but went to a restaurant.
This restaurant has been open for many years. It has a rich and delicious menu, and adds a few new dishes every year. Few of them are not delicious.
The three of them went upstairs and sat down in a private room. Yu Youning didn't even bother looking at the menu, and said directly and boldly, "Bring up all the dishes you have!"
The waiter was a little surprised, as he had never seen anyone ordering food like this!
But the materials worn by the three of them were not cheap, and their demeanor and appearance were even more extraordinary. One could tell at a glance that they were either rich or noble.
The waiter didn't dare to offend anyone, so after agreeing, he hurried to the kitchen to urge the food to be served.
As soon as the waiter left, the door was opened again and a man walked in quietly.
He lowered his eyebrows slightly and looked very ordinary, the kind of ordinary that no one would notice if he were thrown into a crowd.
Chu Huaixu handed over the porcelain bottle containing the mother Gu and explained how to control the Gu and what to pay attention to.
"Youning, is there anything else you want to add?" Chu Huaixu asked Yu Youning.
“No!”
Chu Huaixu then looked at the man and said, "Go!"
The man quickly dodged and disappeared in the blink of an eye, without even the sound of footsteps.
Yu Youning looked left and right, up and down.
After looking around, he suddenly spoke.
"Last time I ate at the restaurant, I ate hibiscus flowers. I won't be able to eat them again this time, will I?"
Chu Huaixu and Wei Zhao were both stunned when they heard this.
No wonder I felt a sense of familiarity the moment I entered the restaurant, as if I had done something similar before. Turns out I really had!
Thinking of the last experience, Chu Huaixu frowned.
Just then, there was a knock on the door and several waiters came in with trays. Soon they filled the table with food.
The food was delicious and tasty. Yu Youning picked up the chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
After taking a few bites, seeing that Chu Huaixu and Wei Zhao hadn't started yet, Yu Youning didn't forget to call them, "Eat! I've tasted it, and there's no hibiscus flower in it."
Although it was comforting, it didn't have much effect.
Chu Huaixu looked at the table full of food and felt that he had a psychological trauma.
It’s better not to bring Youning out to eat in the future!
But as soon as this idea came up, Chu Huaixu himself rejected it.
What if there are still people in the capital who use hibiscus flowers to harm others?
Most people cannot even tell the existence of hibiscus flowers before they become addicted.
Thinking about it this way, I should take Yu Youning out for dinner every day!
Change to a different restaurant every day, and visit a few snack shops as well, just treat it as a random inspection!
Yu Youning had no idea what Chu Huaixu was thinking. She happily ate her meal, and her belly became so round that it looked like there was a small watermelon hidden inside.
Chu Huaixu didn't expect that just because he was thinking about something else, Yu Youning would stretch himself like this. He was so scared that his face turned pale.
"Youning, are you okay?"
Yu Youning stood up and touched his stomach. "It's okay! It will be digested quickly."
Chu Huaixu was about to ask how fast "very fast" was when he saw that the belly disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"Alright!" Yu Youning smiled happily, not taking what had just happened seriously at all, "Let's go!"
Chu Huaixu looked at Yu Youning's belly worriedly.
Is there really anyone who can eat so much?
How is it possible that so much food was digested in the blink of an eye?
Is there something wrong with Yu Youning's body?
With this doubt in mind, in the next few days, Chu Huaixu took Yu Youning out for a walk and eat in the capital every day, while also observing her belly.
The more I observe, the more frightened I become.
The stomach seemed like a bottomless pit that could not be filled no matter what.
Worried, Chu Huaixu met Yu Tingwan alone.
"Madam Yu, has Youning been such a big eater since she was little?"
Just by hearing this question, Yu Tingwan knew why Chu Huaixu came.
"Yes, Youning has been such a big eater since she was a child. Her master has examined her and there is nothing wrong with her body. Your Highness does not need to worry." Yu Tingwan said with a smile.
Chu Huaixu was so worried about Yu Youning's health that he came to ask her specifically, which made Yu Tingwan very satisfied. The look in her eyes when she looked at Chu Huaixu became even gentler.
Chu Huaixu looked straight at Yu Tingwan, and seeing that Yu Tingwan looked calm and not pretending at all, he felt relieved.
Although I know that there must be something special about Yu Youning, as long as it is harmless to her body, that's enough!
As the two were talking, Yu Youning ran in happily, "Mother! Prince! People from Xiliang Kingdom are here! I heard that a Buddhist disciple has come! I want to go and see!"
"Mother, what is a Buddha's son? Is he the Buddha's son? Can the Buddha also get married? Who would he marry?"
Yu Tingwan hurriedly covered Yu Youning's mouth. Even if there were no outsiders here, she couldn't let Yu Youning talk nonsense like that.
"Youning, don't say this again!" Yu Tingwan said seriously.
Yu Youning's eyes widened with confusion, but she still nodded.
No more, never again.
Let her go!
Yu Tingwan reluctantly let go of Yu Youning's mouth and explained to her carefully, "Buddha's son is not the son of the Buddha. It is a noble title that also refers to Arhats or Bodhisattvas. But generally speaking, it still means that this person has a high status. Do you understand?"
"I see, I see! It's the same as the title of Crown Prince, right?"
Yu Tingwan was about to speak when she heard Chu Huaixu answer with a smile.
"Youning is right."
Yu Tingwan, "......"
What is right?
Just pamper her!
