Chapter 869 If anyone dares to disrespect you, I will break his legs.
The wine warming process is also in full swing.
Things went much more smoothly than expected, but the spiritual energy was also consumed faster than expected.
Unconsciously, Wenjiu had already exchanged all the love given to her by the Empress Dowager, as well as the love given to her by Emperor Kangxi recently, which could be exchanged for spirit stones, into spirit stones.
However, the spirit stones are consumed much faster than expected.
It didn't take long before there were no more spirit stones left to consume.
"Master, hold on, it's been three days. Just one more breath and we'll be done!"
Wenjiu took a deep breath: "Okay."
At this time, her whole body was soaked in sweat, and because she had no spiritual stones to nourish her body, her whole body was trembling.
"Xiao Jin, I can't hold on for much longer!"
"Almost there! Almost there!"
Xiao Jin's whole body was also red at this moment, as if the extreme tension of the past few days had almost reached his limit.
Fortunately, one second before Wenjiu ran out of energy, Xiaojin finally withdrew his hand, and then jumped up in surprise: "Master! The pill is done!"
After Wen Jiu withdrew, he collapsed on the bed, gasping for breath several times.
"Master! After taking this pill, Honghui's heart will be reshaped, and he will no longer be ravaged by illness."
Wen Jiu took a deep breath, stretched his muscles, and said in confusion, "This is really strange. I've been exhausting myself these days outputting spiritual energy, and now, not only has my realm not regressed, but I feel like I've touched the edge of level seven. It's as if I've mastered this spiritual energy even more proficiently."
"That's natural, Master. This is also a rare opportunity for tempering. I'm sure you'll break through soon."
Wenjiu also felt it. After letting out a long breath, he fell headfirst onto the bed again.
"I'm really tired."
"Jiu'er! You're finally awake!"
After hearing this, Wen Jiu subconsciously looked to the side, and found that the Fourth Master had appeared in front of her without her knowing.
The stubble on the Fourth Master's face has begun to appear, and his complexion is obviously a little haggard.
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine, but you scared me to death."
Wenjiu curled the corners of his mouth and said, "What can happen to me? Don't worry, sir." As he said that, he stuffed the bottle into the Fourth Master's hand.
"Master, I have mastered it. If Honghui takes this pill, it will save his life. Please send it to him quickly and don't let anyone else do it."
The Fourth Master stared at the bottle for a while and asked, "So this is what you've been doing these past two days?"
Wen Jiu just smiled: "I am doing this for you. With this elixir, you don't have to worry about the child's health anymore. Go quickly, I fed him a herb before. I believe Honghui can hold on until today, but it's hard to say if he can hold on for a longer time. It's just hard for him, and he will have to endure a lot of torture."
After saying that, Wen Jiu nudged the Fourth Master and said, "I'm exhausted too. It's a good time to rest up."
For a moment, the Fourth Master felt that the pill was a thousand pounds heavy, but with his peach blossom eyes smiling as he warmed the wine, he finally took the jade bottle.
"Jiu'er... I owe you too much. If Honghui dares to disrespect you in the future, I will definitely break his legs."
"When did Master ever owe me anything? Master should have done his best to treat Jiu'er well. Jiu'er knows that. Send him to the child quickly. He has become my disciple now, so how could he not respect me?"
As she spoke, she winked at the Fourth Master playfully.
The Fourth Master was stunned when he heard this, but his heart felt warm.
Yesterday seemed like a dream.
Even though he was healing, he was still extremely anxious. On the one hand, he was concerned about Honghui's health, and on the other hand, he was worried about Jiuer. In addition, he really couldn't figure out the origin of this dark aura, and what kind of sinister plan the person behind it was brewing.
As he gritted his teeth and tried his best to trap the dark energy in his body in one place, a day had passed unknowingly.
He went out with mixed feelings, having prepared himself for the worst outcome, but he didn't expect that Jiuer had already helped him solve all his problems.
He actually didn't know what to say, and was at a loss for a moment. No one had ever given so much effort just for him.
In the end, he couldn't help himself and reached out to take the warm wine into his arms.
"Wait for me, I'll be back soon."
After that, he placed a kiss on her forehead and walked out the door quickly. He couldn't delay with Honghui, and he wouldn't let her efforts go to waste.
After the Fourth Master left, Wen Jiu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then he called several of his trusted aides to come over.
"Master, the Thirteenth Master has been staying in the mansion these past two days to help with things. He is now staying in the guest room. The Ninth Master and the Tenth Master also come here every day, but they went back to the mansion to rest last night. The Fourteenth Master was summoned back to the palace by Concubine De the night before yesterday, but he also stayed with us for a whole day yesterday." Liusu said.
"Master Guangci was pestered by Master Jiu and his men to play chess all night long. I didn't see you last morning, so I left without any further entanglement. The most important thing is that our house has been attacked for two consecutive days. Fortunately, we have Prince Zhan Dagumi and Buyanbuyu Dashao and others, otherwise I'm afraid something really would have happened." said Shanzha.
Wen Jiu frowned. "Someone comes to assassinate me every day? What's their method? Have they ever captured anyone alive?"
Da Shao shook his head slightly. "The man who came here is a rare master. He fought against Buyu and was not at all at a disadvantage. The day before yesterday, only one person sneaked into the mansion, and he slipped away. Yesterday, seven or eight people came, but they didn't show any reluctance to fight. It seemed more like... they were here to test him!"
"Tsk tsk, there are actually assassins in this palace. It seems that his life as a prince is not as comfortable as my life as a prince.
If someone in Khalkha dared to enter my house and assassinate me, I'm afraid I wouldn't want to die!" Prince Zhan Dagumi couldn't help but be surprised.
"This has never happened before. No matter how you look at it, it seems unusual." Wen Jiu frowned. "This matter must be reported to the prince. Explain every detail clearly. Also, what are those black-clad men wearing? Is it possible to find out their martial arts skills? Are they from the capital?"
Bu Yan frowned slightly and said, "My dear Concubine, I have traveled extensively with the Fourth Master over the years and have seen the styles of various families. This time, I have fought the most with one of them, and I can confirm that his martial arts are definitely not those of the people in the capital. He is not a rebel, and he is definitely not a royal guard.
These people seem like... seem like..."
"Just tell me, who are you trying to make anxious to death?" Zhan Dagumi couldn't help but urge.
Bu Yan frowned and said, "I'm a little unsure. I vaguely feel like they're from the Western Regions."
Wen Jiu drank a sip of the spiritual spring water. The lack of spiritual energy in her body made her feel drowsy. Now she felt that her blood vessels were slightly nourished by the spiritual energy. She perked up a little and asked again, "How confident are you?"
"I'm only 40% sure," Buyan continued. "Years ago, I accompanied my master to the Western Regions. Because we were in urgent need of Western Snow Lotus, we stayed there for some time. We had some conflicts with the local tyrants. But this man's methods aren't entirely similar, only his punches and kicks are slightly similar. Also, he smells like a unique spice. I think I smelled it before when I went to the Western Regions, but it's so subtle that I can't quite recall the name."
Wen Jiu's fingers subconsciously rubbed the teacup: "Western Regions..."
"I think what I said is correct."
As soon as the voice came out, Wenjiu subconsciously looked towards the door, and saw the Fourth Master and the Thirteenth Master entering the room.
"Master, you're back so soon?" Wen Jiu stood up and took two steps, then asked, "Thirteen, what did you mean by that just now?"
