"But what about your health?" Zong Jiu looked at Xuan Yuanpeng with heartache, worried that he wouldn't be able to hold on for long if the curse wasn't removed.
Xuanyuan Peng, however, took it in stride: "If my body can truly be cured by removing the curse, then it doesn't matter when the curse is removed. If removing the curse is useless, then we shouldn't alert the enemy."
Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Zong Jiu stopped talking.
How could he not understand the Emperor's intentions? The Emperor did all of this to pave the way for His Highness the Holy King.
He hoped His Highness the Holy King could complete his mission soon and return home quickly; he was genuinely afraid the Emperor wouldn't be able to endure it.
What if the Emperor were to... before His Highness the Holy King returns? Then Eastern Chu would be thrown into chaos!
...
Bamboo forest in the western suburbs.
When Pei Luo received the blood samples they sent, he immediately began to study them.
They spent the entire night comparing all the toxins, but found nothing.
Pei Luo thought of the Xuanmen medical techniques and decided to take the blood sample to see Dao Yi to see if he could find out anything.
So he went straight to Bailong Temple. As soon as he arrived at the foot of Bailong Temple, before he could even climb the mountain, he saw Daoyi.
Seeing Dao Yi running around aimlessly in the woods like a headless fly, Pei Luo quickly went over and called out to him, "Lu Shao!"
When Dao Yi turned around and saw Pei Luo, he was immediately overjoyed: "Dr. Luo, what are you doing here? I was just about to look for you!"
Pei Luo looked at him speechlessly: "You're not looking for me, you're looking for the path up the mountain!"
"What?" Dao looked completely bewildered.
He's been walking down the mountain for almost an hour now, and he still hasn't made it down?
Pei Luo was truly defeated by him.
He knew he didn't know the way, but he didn't know he was this bad at directions!
"Never mind, we're already here, and it's not convenient to talk here. Let's go to your meditation room first."
"Okay." Dao Yi replied, turned around and walked down the mountain again.
Pei Luo rolled her eyes speechlessly and quickly grabbed him: "You've got it backwards again, let's go up the mountain."
Fearing that Dao Yi might lose his way again, Pei Luo, as a guest, had no choice but to take the lead and guide Dao Yi.
"Abbot!" The young novices of Bailong Temple greeted Daoyi with Buddhist greetings.
When he arrived at Daoyi's meditation room, a young novice was tidying up. Upon seeing Daoyi return, he hurried over and said, "Abbot, you've returned from meeting your guests!"
"..."
Dao Yi didn't want to answer, but he couldn't lie, so he could only laugh awkwardly and say, "You can go now!"
"Yes." The young novice monk bowed and withdrew.
After the young novice monk left, Dao Yi closed the door and invited Pei Luo to sit down.
"What brings you here, Doctor Luo?" Dao Yi poured Pei Luo a cup of tea and handed it to him.
When he was with Pei Luo, Dao Yi felt like he was no longer a monk, but as if he had become the vice leader of the Xuanmen again. So when he spoke to Pei Luo, he stopped calling himself "this humble monk".
Pei Luo took a sip of tea before looking at him and guessing, "Why did you come to see me? And why should I come to see you?"
The reason he's in such a hurry to find him is probably because it's the same thing!
Dao understood instantly, and took out the blood sample that Bai had sent him: "You came to me for this too?"
Pei Luo didn't speak, but took out the small jade bottle from his pocket: "Did you find anything?"
Dao Yi raised an eyebrow: "What did you find out?"
Pei Luoke didn't have time to play games with him: "I didn't find anything out, so I thought I'd come here to see if your Xuanmen sect has a different perspective."
Dao Yi's eyebrows twitched, and he chuckled dryly, "Actually, I didn't find out either."
Pei Luo frowned: "Even you didn't find anything?"
Dao Yi shrugged and said, "This blood sample is very clean, at least there's no poisoning. As for what disease it is, you really can't tell from this blood sample."
Pei Luo deeply agreed with Dao Yi's words: "Indeed, but the guard who delivered the blood sample said it was from the Emperor of Eastern Chu. Since Bai Yatou sent someone to deliver it in such a hurry, it means that the Emperor's health must be having some problems."
Dao Yi remained noncommittal: "So what do you want to do?"
Pei Luo frowned: "I want to go to the Holy King's Mansion to see if there's anything they can help with?"
Ning'er was heavily pregnant, and he didn't want her to run around for these things, so it was better for him to go to the Holy King's Mansion.
He originally planned to go to the Holy King's Mansion before Ning'er gave birth, but now it seems he has no choice but to go.
Dao Yi knew about Bai Yatou's affair with the Emperor of Eastern Chu and was also a little worried: "I'll go with you."
Since Bai Yatou also sent someone to deliver a blood sample to him, he should at least give her an answer.
Since Doctor Luo is going to the Holy King's Mansion, he will go with her and give Bai Yatou his answer in person.
Pei Luo didn't know what illness the Emperor of Eastern Chu had, but thinking that Lu Shao's medical skills were quite good, he nodded in agreement: "If you have time, then let's go together."
Dao Yi explained the situation to the monks at the temple, and then went to Kyoto with Pei Luo.
Pei Luo was afraid of getting lost, so he didn't dare to use his lightness skill too fast along the way.
When the two arrived in Kyoto, they discovered that they had no idea where the Holy King's Mansion was.
Pei Luo had never been to the Holy King's Mansion before, nor had she inquired about it carefully, so she did not know its exact location.
Dao Yi had been here before, but he had no sense of direction and couldn't remember the way at all: "I only know that there are two stone lions at the entrance of the Holy King's Mansion."
"..." Pei Luo was speechless and wanted to roll her eyes again. It would have been better if she hadn't known!
"What are you still looking at? Ask away!"
Pei Luo grumbled and then tried to ask a passerby for directions.
But after taking only two steps, fearing they might get lost, they had no choice but to take him with them to ask for directions.
The two asked for directions along the way and wandered around the capital city for two hours, until it was dark, before finally finding the Holy King's Mansion with two stone lions at the entrance.
Looking at the three large characters "Holy King's Mansion" on the plaque, Dao Yi immediately exclaimed with delight, "Great, we've finally found it!"
Dao Yi was about to go over when Pei Luo stopped him, saying, "Wait a minute."
Dao turned around and looked at Pei Luo with a blank expression: "What's wrong?"
Pei Luo raised his chin at the imperial guards at the entrance of the Holy King's Mansion: "Didn't you see that the Holy King's Mansion is surrounded by those soldiers?"
Dao Yi then noticed the soldiers at the entrance of the Holy King's Mansion and exclaimed in alarm, "What's going on? The Holy King's Mansion is surrounded by soldiers!"
Pei Luo had no idea what had happened at the Holy King's Mansion.
However, judging from this trend, it doesn't look good at all.
"Let's go in through the main gate."
It was dark now, and with their martial arts skills, even if there were many soldiers around, it wouldn't be difficult for them to enter the Holy King's Mansion unnoticed.
The two successfully infiltrated the Holy King's Mansion, but once inside, they discovered that the mansion was vast, making it difficult to find Bai Fuya and Su Xuening.
They dared not walk around the Holy King's Palace openly, not because they were afraid of anything else, but because they were afraid of alerting the soldiers outside.
Fortunately, after wandering around the Holy King's mansion for a while, the two saw a familiar face: "Granny Shang."
