The National Temple was bustling with activity, and the imperial doctors who were coming in and out were all very anxious.
Prince Duan was very anxious at the door. The Queen Mother held the Buddhist beads in her hand, frowned and looked at him, and said in a deep voice:
"Why are you so anxious? The result will be known soon. There's no need to rush."
The imperial physician rushed out and kowtowed three times to Prince Duan.
"Your Highness! Queen Mother! There's really no other way!"
"The princess's illness came on suddenly. I... I really can't do anything..."
"What did you say? What does this mean?!"
Prince Duan slapped his chair and stood up.
"What do you mean by that? She's always been in good health, how could she suddenly faint?"
"I really don't know!"
The minister was so timid that his voice was trembling.
"The princess's pulse is very weak and chaotic, as if something is running rampant inside her body."
"And, and..."
"Plus, the princess seems to be weak and may not make it through the night!!"
"What!"
These words were like a thunderclap that landed directly on Prince Duan's head. He lost his balance and fell down on the chair with his eyes wide open, as if he hadn't reacted.
"Is there no other way?"
Gu Fengnan frowned and said, he was more panicked than Prince Duan, but he was much calmer.
"What the hell is going on!"
"I really don't know!"
The doctor shuddered, and after a while he suddenly seemed to remember something.
"National Master! National Master may have a solution!"
"The Imperial Master may have a solution!"
At this time, Xu Qingyi just came from the door, with the scent of sandalwood on his body after taking a bath. He glanced at everyone and hurried in.
"I'll go take a look."
When Xu Qingyi was feeling Gu Qingsheng's pulse, her frown finally relaxed. Instead, the imperial physician was very nervous and kept crying to Xu Qingyi.
"Master Imperial Master, you must think of a solution, or I will lose my head!"
He ignored the doctor and walked out the door, looking at the Queen Mother and nodded.
"Queen Mother, the princess has planted a poison."
"This disease can be cured."
"but……"
"But what!"
Hearing that Gu Qingsheng could be saved, the Queen Mother was very happy as if she saw hope.
"Do you need any precious medicinal herbs? We have them all in the palace..."
"no."
Xu Qingyi's eyebrows dimmed as he rejected the Queen Mother.
"To save the princess from this poison, I need to constantly water it with my heart's blood, three times a day."
"I've practiced for years, bathed in fragrance, and the blood in my body has become an anti-toxin. I can save the princess this time, but if it continues for a long time..."
These words made everyone silent. If saving Gu Qingsheng required Xu Qingyi to go to such lengths, then who could force this high and mighty national teacher to continue to use his heart's blood to nourish him?
Even the emperor cannot control the imperial tutor. Now it is up to the imperial tutor to decide whether to save the princess or not.
Gu Fengnan looked at him coldly, as if he was recalling his childhood.
At that time, Xu Qingyi used his own blood to save Gu Qingsheng.
But now, I have to water it like this day and night, which is...
"if……"
"If I say so."
No one wanted to force Xu Qingyi, but Gu Fengnan stood up and looked directly at Xu Qingyi's face.
"If I say, 'Please let the Imperial Master marry Changle! Please let the Imperial Master marry Changle!' Then she will be your wife. Will you not save her then?"
Xu Qingyi slowly raised his head, looked at Gu Fengnan, and smiled in the midst of everyone's astonishment.
"No, I will save you."
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Prince Duan was so angry that his chest was tight. He didn't expect Gu Fengnan to come up with such a stupid method, and he yelled immediately.
"There's no other way! Father!"
"What can you do? Can you make the Imperial Master marry his blood day and night, stab himself every day, and heal Qingsheng's illness?"
His eyes were bloodshot, and this decision made Gu Fengnan a little unhappy.
"That's the Imperial Master! Father! Look! It's the Imperial Master!"
"There's no rule in Jin and Chu that the Imperial Master can't marry. Only in this way can Qingsheng be saved!"
Prince Duan understood what Gu Fengnan said. He sat down heavily on the chair and closed his eyes.
The Queen Mother sighed for a long time and shook her hands.
"Never mind, never mind."
"I have already lost one granddaughter, I cannot afford to lose another."
After saying that, she slowly left.
In the evening, an imperial decree granting marriage was delivered to the National Temple.
This national teacher, respected by everyone, is getting married.
…
Among the tombstones in the cemetery, a tombstone stands tall.
In front of the tombstone, a man stood and looked at it with tenderness in his eyes.
His face was as bright as the sun, and he no longer had the carefree look he used to have.
Lady Xi behind him lowered her eyebrows and spoke slowly
"Su Huai, until the end, I was thinking about His Highness."
"When Da Qi caught fire, the people in the palace split into two groups, one to protect the crown prince and the other to protect the princess."
"Later, we lived here in hiding, and the princess was saved."
"I didn't expect it to be too late in the end."
Some time had passed, and Lady Xi looked frail. She smiled slowly, her expression filled with helplessness.
"After the princess died, I dismissed all the girls from Huaixiang Pavilion. Perhaps they are living well now."
"If it weren't for this time, when the people from the Ruyi Sect found you for me, I might never have met the Crown Prince in this lifetime."
As she spoke, she looked at Du Wensa beside her.
Du Wensa nodded and said coldly
"It's nothing. I just happened to hear the church discussing this matter. It just so happens that you know that person, and we owe her a favor. That's all."
"The news that your remnants are at war with the Western Regions hasn't spread yet. But even if you're strong and healthy, the Western Regions are a sinister nation. I'm afraid..."
Liu Yanqiu squatted down and looked at the tombstone. The three words "Chen Suhuai" on it were very conspicuous.
The less emotion there is, the scarier it is.
He pursed his lips and said slowly
"Even if it's not possible, it must be done."
"This road is dark. Qiuyue and Suhuai are still waiting for me."
The tone of voice was icy cold, and Madam Xi felt a pang in her heart and turned her head away.
Du Wensa looked at Liu Yanqiu lying on the ground and said lightly
"We, the Ruyi Sect, will help you."
"It's a pity that Great Qi was destroyed. During that time, the leader was investigating this matter and found that people from the Western Regions were also harming us sisters."
"Since you have this intention, we will definitely help you to the end."
However, whether the Ruyi Sect went to help because of that woman or out of hatred was no longer important.
Liu Yanqiu certainly understood it in his heart, and murmured, thinking of the way Gu Qingsheng looked in his wedding dress that day.
"You've always been helping me..."
Touching the name on the tombstone, trying to pretend he didn't care, Liu Yanqiu asked
"How is she?"
Du Wensa also slowly raised her eyes
"We're getting married."
