Chapter 106 You're unhappy? Come down and hit me!
Yu Zhiyi smiled slightly and "kindly" explained to him: "Healing is different from divination. Although divination also requires energy and spiritual power, for me, that consumption is just a drop in the ocean."
"Your Highness is now completely paralyzed. Although the imperial physicians of the Imperial Medical Bureau have done their best to save and protect your waist injury, it has only slowed down the rate of deterioration. The imperial physicians should have told you that if the injury continues to worsen, your life will be in danger in three to five days, or even ten to fifteen days."
"If we cannot completely stop the worsening of your injuries, you will surely die within a month."
The carefree king remained silent.
That's exactly what the imperial physicians said, which is why they were desperate and tried everything, not only searching for famous doctors but also trying to use metaphysics to cure their illnesses.
Overwhelmed with emotion, the Empress Dowager quickly said, "As long as you can save Prince Xiaoyao's life and restore his health, I will give you 20,000 taels of silver! You will also receive the rewards that the Emperor promised."
Yu Zhiyi said solemnly, "Your Majesty, I am not a greedy person. The money I asked for is what I deserve. The ten thousand taels is for losses."
He then looked at the Prince of Xiaoyao and said, "The remaining 1,500 taels are for compensation for emotional distress and the cost of a transfer talisman, which Your Highness needs to reimburse."
Having known You Bingyue for a long time, Xiaoyao Wang knew what compensation for emotional distress was.
Although he didn't know what a teleportation talisman was, he understood that the woman was taking the opportunity to retaliate against him for sending assassins.
He gritted his teeth and, before the Empress Dowager and the Emperor could ask, gritted his teeth and replied, "Alright!"
Yu Zhiyi's smile widened and became even brighter: "Your Highness is so magnanimous."
The Carefree King: "..."
I don't want to accept this praise.
When he sent someone to assassinate Yu Zhiyi, in order to absolve himself of responsibility, he did not use his own people, but instead sought out a trusted master from the martial arts world.
He spent a thousand taels of silver on this.
Now Yu Zhiyi is making outrageous demands, asking for another 1,500 taels.
Having lived for nearly thirty years, this was the first time that the carefree king had so profoundly experienced what it meant to lose both his wife and his army.
"Your Majesty and the Empress, please wait outside. The treatment will take a considerable amount of time. I guarantee that the moment the door opens will be the moment Prince Xiaoyao will be able to get out of bed."
The emperor and empress dowager exchanged a glance.
The emperor thought for a moment and then instructed, "Physician Yu, the Prince of Xiaoyao is my own younger brother. You... take good care of him."
He knew about the conflict between Prince Xiaoyao and Yu Zhiyi.
He had already figured out the reason why the carefree prince went mad that day after the palace banquet.
Upon learning that his foolish younger brother had used his privileges to arrange for a woman to attend a palace banquet for another man, and even used a vile drug at the banquet to stand up for her...
He was almost furious.
If the medicine had worked as intended, he could have praised his brother for being useful. But unfortunately, he ended up drinking the medicine himself and making a fool of himself.
Upon learning the whole story, the emperor was so disgusted that he almost threw his younger brother away.
As for the rest...
One can only say that it's good to be confused sometimes.
He said this specifically to remind Yu Zhiyi that he didn't care about their petty grudges or their private squabbles, but they shouldn't be ambiguous when it came to matters of life and death.
Yu Zhiyi naturally understood.
All I can say is that being born into the right family is a blessing.
Because he has an older brother who is the emperor and a mother who is the empress dowager, the carefree prince can get away with anything he does.
Yu Zhiyi hadn't originally intended to report this in front of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor; the people of Tianji Sect were brave, not stupid.
The door creaked shut, leaving only Yu Zhiyi and Xiaoyao Wang in the room.
When the room quieted down, the carefree Prince, who had been enjoying himself, could no longer maintain his carefree attitude. Instead, he felt a little uneasy: "You... what do you want to do?"
It's not that he's cowardly; he's simply unable to act right now, and the person he's repeatedly framed is standing not far away.
There were only the two of them left in the room. If the other party wanted to fight to the death, no one could save him.
Even if the other party is punished or even loses their life in the end, so what?
He suddenly realized that compared to the people he disliked being unhappy or dying, he would rather he be alive.
Yu Zhiyi admired the sudden change in the Prince of Xiaoyao's expression, and seeing the cowardice in his eyes, she sneered: "I thought Your Highness was some kind of superhuman being, but it turns out you can be cowardly too."
"How dare you!"
The carefree prince was shocked, furious, and ashamed: "Yu Zhiyi, do you know who you're talking to!"
Yu Zhiyi chuckled: "I'm talking to you, Prince Xiaoyao. If you don't like what I'm saying... come down and hit me."
The carefree king: "???"
Are you even speaking human language?!
"Yu Zhiyi, how dare you humiliate me! Just wait until I recover..."
Yu Zhiyi looked at him mockingly: "After you're better, what are your plans, Your Highness?"
The Carefree King: "..."
Making threats against bad guys when you're completely defenseless is the stupidest thing you can do.
The carefree king forced himself to suppress his anger.
He knew he should say something conciliatory, but he just couldn't bring himself to say it.
In this world, the only woman he could coax with sweet words was Yue'er.
He closed his eyes tightly and simply stopped talking.
Anyway, this woman has already promised her brother and mother. If she dares to go back on her word, he doesn't need to do anything; her brother and mother can deal with him.
Yu Zhiyi found a chair and sat down, leisurely sipping the tea on the table.
I must say, the things in the palace are really good.
Although this tea is of ordinary quality, it has a sweet aftertaste, leaves a warm feeling in the stomach, and carries an indescribable aroma.
Looking at the pastries on the table, they were also carefully made by the imperial chefs in the palace, and were even more delicious than those from Qi Ji, the most popular pastry shop outside.
It's sweet but not cloying, melts in your mouth, and doesn't have the dryness of ordinary desserts.
The carefree prince and others did not wait for Yu Zhiyi to come and treat his illness. Instead, they heard the sounds of drinking tea and chewing.
He secretly peeked out and nearly died of anger.
That woman! That woman!
She promised to treat his illness, but instead she started drinking his tea and eating his snacks!
What did she think this place was?
Is this her home?
What is she here for? On vacation?
"Are you even capable? If not, then get out!"
Yu Zhiyi lifted her eyelids: "I'm not a man, Your Highness, there's no need to provoke me like this."
After saying that, he ignored the carefree king and continued eating and drinking.
The Carefree King: "..."
He was so angry, but there was nothing he could do.
This bedroom is very large, and everything in the palace is made of the finest materials.
His own palace was equipped with soundproof materials, and given his current severe injuries and extreme weakness, although he could speak normally, he couldn't shout at all.
If he could call for help, he would have summoned the Emperor and Empress Dowager long ago.
Let them see what kind of person they've invited!
The carefree king was very angry.
The carefree king was devastated.
But all you can do is get angry for nothing and break down in frustration.
He watched as Yu Zhiyi ate and drank her fill, then sat down in a chair and closed her eyes to rest, showing no intention whatsoever of treating his illness.
