Chapter 161 Your Highness, why aren't you smiling? Is it because you can't smile?
Yu Zhiyi said calmly, "Although the skills of the people in my Xuanmen are endless, anything used on people will only be most effective the first time it is used, and will become less and less effective afterward."
"When I treated Prince Xiaoyao before, I used a healing talisman. This is my first time using a healing talisman, and it's no surprise that it can completely heal and regenerate tissue."
“But the second use will not be as effective, and I cannot guarantee how far it will go. That is why I refused Your Majesty the Empress Dowager.”
"Because, Your Majesty, I do not wish to disappoint you."
The Empress Dowager's well-preserved face was now filled with disbelief: "Is it truly impossible to restore it to its former state?"
Yu Zhiyi sighed: "If Your Majesty insists that I undergo treatment, I will certainly try. However, if the result is not very good, I hope Your Majesty will not blame me."
The Empress Dowager was still struggling with the decision.
The emperor heard about Yu Zhiyi's visit to the palace after court and rushed over.
Upon entering the main hall, he overheard Yu Zhiyi's words, which sounded like she was shirking responsibility, and couldn't help but frown: "What's going on?"
Yu Zhiyi repeated what he had just said, and finally said, "If Your Majesty and the Empress guarantee that they will not hold me responsible, then I will take action. Otherwise... just lock me up."
Empress Dowager: "!"
She felt offended.
He's nothing but a mere imposter. Even if the emperor bestows upon him a special title, he's still just a lowly fifth-rank official. How dare he be so presumptuous in front of the Empress Dowager?
"Yu Zhiyi, you don't think that just because you helped me once, I won't do anything to you, do you?"
Yu Zhiyi said calmly, "The Empress Dowager has misunderstood."
The Empress Dowager felt a little better.
But Yu Zhiyi said, "Your Majesty's order was the reason I took action last time. The cause and effect lie with Your Majesty and me, and have nothing to do with Your Highness."
Empress Dowager: "..."
The story of three people—doesn't she deserve a name?
She was furious.
The emperor suddenly felt a headache coming on: "Minister Yu, say less."
He then looked at the Empress Dowager: "Mother, although Yu Qing speaks... a bit bluntly, she never lies. Since she says she can't guarantee the cure rate, we can't force her to do something we don't want her to do."
The Empress Dowager was still dissatisfied.
The Emperor then said, "Mother, think about Xiaoyao's current situation."
The Empress Dowager's expression changed.
After that day, the Prince of Leisure was crippled from the waist down.
Although he was disabled before, it was only disabled inside. Except when he was incontinent, he seemed to be a normal person at other times.
But now, his waist and buttocks were pierced, and afterwards, the imperial physicians made his wounds even more gruesome in order to remove wood chips from his body.
The middle part of his body is now a bloody mess, but because the debris has not been completely removed, the imperial physicians dare not let his wound heal completely...
The carefree prince nowadays even defecating and urinating are luxuries.
Because it hurts to urinate, and defecating feels like pulling out the whole mess.
In a short period of time, he had become skin and bones, and had lost his former vigor.
The Empress Dowager was not afraid that he would not be spirited and ambitious, but she was afraid that he would pass away at any time, and even more afraid that he would continue to suffer.
After closing her eyes, the Empress Dowager gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, go ahead and treat him. No matter how well you can treat him, I will never blame you."
Yu Zhiyi almost blurted out, "What if the treatment kills the person?"
When Yu Zhiyi saw the Carefree King again, she was still startled, even though she knew he was in bad shape.
The once handsome and noble man was now pale and thin, almost skin and bones, looking no better than the evil cultivator.
The room was filled with incense, but the incense couldn't mask the stench of excrement and blood.
As soon as Yu Zhiyi approached the bedside, the carefree prince opened his eyes as if sensing something.
Upon seeing her, he went berserk: "It was you, wasn't it! You're the one who ruined me!"
Yu Zhiyi ignored his words: "Your Highness, please keep a cheerful mood, so that I can ensure the effectiveness of my treatment this time."
The Carefree King: "..."
Not to mention him, even the palace servants in the room were speechless.
Listen to this, is this even human language?
The prince is in such a terrible state now; it would be a miracle if he could remain in a good mood.
Yu Zhiyi didn't think she had said anything excessive. Seeing that the Prince of Xiaoyao was just staring at her with his eyes wide open but couldn't say a word, she asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Your Highness? Are you not happy?"
The Carefree King: "..."
If he weren't having such a hard time speaking, he would definitely curse her to death!
Isn't that obvious?!
Not wanting to waste time, Yu Zhiyi wanted to get to Caonan Village as soon as possible, so she didn't say anything more and took out a healing talisman.
With a flick of her finger, the talisman transformed into specks of green light, which landed on the carefree king, instantly giving his complexion a rosier glow.
Ordinary people cannot see what changes are taking place in his body beneath the blanket, but Yu Zhiyi knows.
His festering skin was healing rapidly, and the fragments embedded in his skin transformed into tiny sparks of life, merging into his bones and blood without causing him any harm.
When the last bit of green light dissipated, Yu Zhiyi said, "It's done."
The carefree king's face lit up with joy.
He remembered that after Yu Zhiyi treated him last time, he was able to move immediately.
He tried to get up, but found his body still incredibly heavy. His face immediately darkened: "You dare to mock me!"
Yu Zhiyi looked completely innocent: "Before coming here, I had already explained the pros and cons to His Majesty and the Empress Dowager. If Your Highness has any complaints or grievances, you can ask them."
"Yu Zhiyi! You must heal me!"
"Yu Zhiyi! Come back!"
Ignoring the voices behind her, Yu Zhiyi entered the main hall: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have finished my treatment. If you are still concerned, you may send the imperial physician in to take a look."
The Empress Dowager didn't say any flattering words and directly let the imperial physician into the room.
Before long, the imperial physician came out, his face full of surprise: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, the prince's condition has greatly improved. Although he is still unable to get out of bed, his most fatal flesh wounds have completely healed. Moreover, according to my observation, although the prince has lost sensation in his lower body, his normal life is not affected."
His words were cryptic, but everyone understood what he meant.
In other words, he will no longer be incontinent.
The Empress Dowager was filled with mixed emotions and tried to discuss it with Yu Zhiyi: "Yu Qing, is there really no possibility of a full recovery?"
Yu Zhiyi spread her hands: "First of all, the healing talismans have been used up. Secondly, I have already explained the pros and cons. The first use is the most effective, and the effect will get worse and worse afterward. Moreover, the healing talisman is just a talisman after all, not a person. It has no human thoughts. It can cure diseases, but it cannot cure diseases according to a person's will."
"After three, the healing talisman will be almost ineffective."
"Is Your Majesty truly certain that you want to waste talismans on this no longer fatal symptom?"
