After Taoist Nun Meng led people to settle Mr. Yuan, she led the way for Jiang Xiancao.
On the way, Jiang Xiancao asked in a low voice:
"How's the situation at the palace?"
Nun Meng shook her head solemnly. "The Emperor's condition remains unrecoverable. The Imperial Hospital is helpless. I've been to see him, and his symptoms are bizarre. They don't seem like pure poisoning, but they don't look completely like being possessed by an evil spirit either."
When Jiang Xiancao heard that even Taoist Nun Meng couldn't see the crux of Emperor Yong's problem, her heart sank.
"His Royal Highness Prince Zhan is staying by the Queen Mother's side, guarding the Emperor together, never leaving his side."
Taoist nun Meng knew that although Jiang Xiancao didn't show it on her face, she was worried about Shen Yubai in her heart. She looked at her and said, "Your Highness has a secret technique to protect himself. Even the Pavilion Master of Tianming Pavilion can't easily harm him."
Jiang Xiancao nodded, paused and said:
"If any more officers from the Imperial Guards are attacked, the palace will fall into the control of the Queen and her men."
Taoist nun Meng smiled coldly, "Don't worry, they can't attack the imperial guards anymore.
The soldiers of the Imperial Guard had already been screened by the Imperial City Administration, and they also carried amulets with them, so ordinary evil spells could not control them.
Unless they use a living soul to forcibly possess someone else's body like they did just now, even among the sorcerers of the Tianming Pavilion, there are only one or two who can forcibly possess someone else's body by forcing their soul out of their body. I just detained one of them. Unless their Pavilion Master personally intervenes, no one else will be able to invade the body of a Forbidden Army general again."
Jiang Xiancao frowned slightly, "But that Pavilion Master..."
"He's not available."
Nun Meng was very confident, and the smile on her lips was tinged with a hint of cunning. "His Royal Highness Prince Zhan gave me his approximate location. I caused him some trouble, and he is now unable to spare any time."
She sent Jiang Xiancao to the outside of Emperor Yong's bedroom, then turned and left, saying that she had something else to do.
Jiang Xiancao knew that she was busy fighting with the leader of Tianming Pavilion, so she walked into the bedroom. It was completely silent inside, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
All the palace servants who originally served in the bedroom were cleared out, leaving only two of Emperor Yong's personal maids. Even Eunuch Sun was nowhere to be seen.
Jiang Xiancao could probably guess the reason. The palace maids who stayed behind were all assigned by the Queen Mother and were not Emperor Yong's people. Although Eunuch Sun had always been loyal to Emperor Yong, he was unlucky because he had the same surname as the Queen.
Over the years, the Queen has been trying to secretly win over Eunuch Sun, and has mentioned more than once that she wants to become a relative of Eunuch Sun. Eunuch Sun has repeatedly declined, and for this, he has offended the Queen.
However, there is no way to know whether he has secretly accepted the Queen's coercion and inducement. Especially in this precarious time when everything is a threat, the Queen Mother will certainly not be at ease with him continuing to serve Emperor Yong.
Jiang Xiancao walked to the curtain of the dragon bed. Through the curtain, she could vaguely see the empress dowager sitting beside the bed, feeding medicine to Emperor Yong one spoonful at a time.
Chen Yubai was also standing outside the curtain. He raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Xiancao. When the two looked at each other, Jiang Xiancao's heartbeat quickened slightly.
Although she knew he was fine on the way, she still felt at ease only when she saw him with her own eyes.
Seeing him standing in front of her, it was like a void in her heart was filled.
This feeling was unfamiliar to her.
When she rescued Shen Tingsi and then returned to the Jiang family to be engaged to him, she had developed a vague affection for him, with the innocence of a young girl's first love, and a little longing for the future and love.
She originally thought that she really liked him, but after he did those things to humiliate her, she felt hurt more because her self-esteem was trampled upon.
Later she realized that what she had loved was never actually Shen Tingsi himself.
But it was the hope she once placed on him.
However, Shen Yubai is different from him.
She still couldn't quite figure out what exactly was different between them, but she had a vague yet firm feeling in her heart that they were different.
