Chapter 873 The Strange Fourth Master
The spiritual spring water could not replenish the spiritual power lost in her body at all. Now, Wenjiu's internal organs were burning with pain due to the drying up of spiritual energy.
It was a busy time, and these people didn't show her any love in a short period of time. She had to quickly grab some silver and exchange it for spirit stones.
Wen Jiu frowned. "Master Jiu, calm down. Even if we show up at the palace right away, we won't be able to help them. It's better to gather some information outside. Send someone to find out when the silver can be brought back."
Although Jiu Ye was anxious, he finally followed Wen Jiu's instructions and asked someone to get the silver.
But before the leader could leave, Elder Meng came into the room and said, "Gentlemen, it's been a long time."
"Mr. Meng, I hope you are well. Why did you come here in person?" Wen Jiu said with some effort.
"I heard that the Fourth Young Master was coming, so naturally I came to pay my respects. Speaking of which, I should be the host today, inviting you all to enjoy a drink. Things are going to be uneasy in the raindrop world these days, so you might as well leave first to avoid getting hurt."
As he spoke, Old Meng frowned slightly.
Wenjiu had already asked someone to put away the box full of banknotes. He casually touched the opening of the box and quietly exchanged the banknotes.
Without any hesitation, he exchanged one million taels for a spirit stone, held it in his hand, and absorbed it completely in a short time.
Wen Jiu let out a breath and looked at Elder Meng: "Elder Meng, what happened?"
Elder Meng nodded. "I don't know what's going on lately, but customers are often going berserk and hurting other customers. Today, two more injured people, but they've just been brought under control. As soon as I have time, I'll come over and tell the Fourth Young Master."
"Something happened here too?" Jiu Ye frowned and looked at Wen Jiu inquiringly.
Wen Jiu nodded slightly: "Mr. Meng, we are also investigating this matter now. Why don't you take us with you to take a look?"
…
Yuqing Palace
"What time is it? Is there no movement from the fourth brother?" Emperor Kangxi was getting a little restless. He paced around the door anxiously for several times and finally couldn't help asking.
"In reply to His Majesty, it's almost dawn. I'm afraid the Fourth Master won't get any news for a while. Why don't you go to court first? The entire court is waiting for you. If you don't go now, it will be too late."
Emperor Kangxi glanced into the room, then frowned and instructed the Crown Princess beside him: "If you have any news, send someone to tell me immediately."
The Crown Princess bowed and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Your daughter-in-law is always by your side. If there is any news, I will immediately send someone to pass it on to you. Your Majesty, please rest assured. Fourth Brother said that the success is very great."
Emperor Kangxi nodded, glanced at him again with a worried look, and after taking two steps, he suddenly stopped again. "Don't tell the Queen Mother about this for now. She's not feeling well today and I'm afraid she can't stand this kind of stimulation. Let's wait for the Fourth Prince to get some news before we tell her."
"I understand, your daughter-in-law. I respectfully send your Royal Father off."
Emperor Kangxi hurriedly left the Yuqing Palace and headed to the Qianqing Palace.
I went to the morning court with high spirits and dealt with most of the government affairs that needed to be dealt with in the near future. By then it was almost noon, and I hurried back without even having time to eat.
"Good luck to the Emperor." Everyone around him immediately saluted.
"No need to be polite, you're here too?" Emperor Kangxi took a look and saw that Master Wenjiu, the Ninth Master, the Tenth Master, the Thirteenth Master, and the Fourteenth Master were all there. He immediately rubbed his brows and found a chair to sit down. "Any news?"
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Don't be anxious, Father Emperor. Fourth brother has always been cautious in his actions. He must have the confidence in his heart to do so. Let's wait for a while, maybe we will hear good news." said the Ninth Master.
Emperor Kangxi frowned slightly, then looked at the imperial doctors in the distance and asked, "Do you know how to reattach a human arm?"
The twenty or so imperial doctors behind him looked at each other, then shook their heads.
"Your Majesty, this method is truly unheard of. We are uneducated and don't know how to implement it. We are truly incompetent. We can't help the Fourth Prince at all." Doctor Liu said.
After hearing this, Emperor Kangxi fell into a long silence.
The whole house was filled with an anxious mood.
At this moment, there was a sudden bang, and everyone subconsciously knocked over and picked up the door. The door of the prince's bedroom banged and exploded in all directions.
Dust filled the air instantly. After it dissipated for a long time, everyone looked carefully and was stunned when they saw the person in front of them clearly.
"Fourth brother? You're out?" Jiu Ye looked at the disheveled fourth brother in front of him in confusion: "How is it? Is the second brother's arm reattached?"
The Fourth Master in front of him stood there motionless, his eyes empty, and he didn't say a word for a long time.
"Fourth brother, what are you thinking about? Why is your hair still disheveled? Come on, tell me what happened?" Tenth Master asked anxiously.
Wen Jiu looked at the Fourth Master in front of him. His robes fluttered in the wind, and he seemed filled with a violent force. Furthermore, his aura seemed a little disordered, something was very wrong.
"Master, what's wrong with you? Can you hear us talking?" Wen Jiu couldn't help but call out softly.
When the Fourth Master heard the voice, his dark pupils met Wenjiu's eyes the next second.
Even though the wine was warm, my scalp felt tingling for a moment.
Fortunately, he looked away after a moment. He tilted his head, lost in thought, and after a while, he spoke in a hoarse voice, "The arm... is attached."
Then he just walked away.
"Fourth brother, what are you doing?" Emperor Kangxi also called him.
The Fourth Master in front of him paused and turned around.
Kangxi was also frowned by his gaze: "What's wrong with you? Why are you talking so dully?"
Emperor Kangxi had barely finished speaking when the Fourth Master flashed behind him. When he turned around, he saw his fourth son grabbing a guard's neck with one hand. With a snap, the neck of the second-rank sword-wielding guard in front of him was broken by him.
The man's body collapsed to the ground like a puddle of mud, no longer breathing.
The air froze in an instant.
"Fourth brother! Are you crazy? Kneel down and admit your mistake to the Emperor." Thirteenth was the first to react and subconsciously wanted to step forward and pull the Fourth Master.
Wen Jiu grabbed Thirteen and said, "Don't go over there yet."
Then he took a deep breath and walked slowly towards the Fourth Master: "Master, do you recognize Jiu'er?"
The Fourth Master looked at Wen Jiu, then tilted his head to look at the body he had just strangled, and said in a very calm tone: "He... has a problem."
