"The Wu family has had ambitions for the throne for years, but they've been wary of my strength and haven't dared to act rashly. Today, that old bastard Wu Tianxiong came to demand an explanation, but in reality, he probably heard about my hidden illness and came to test my strength. I'll take this opportunity to extinguish his ambitions and help you vent your anger.
But don't think that the old man was completely defenseless under my sword just now. In fact, his strength is not that weak. He just can't see through my strength and dare not confront me. Otherwise, if I really want to go all out, with my injuries, I may not be his opponent after a long fight.
"There's no such thing as a completely impenetrable wall. He'll eventually find out about my injury. By then, Wu Tianxiong will have no qualms about giving it his all, and our Yue family will be wiped out," Lu Nianxin said solemnly.
"Grandma, what can I do?" Mu Hanyan asked.
Yue Fanchen had speculated on Wu Tianxiong's intentions in coming to the palace today, but he hadn't expected the situation to be even more serious than he'd anticipated. Mu Hanyan certainly didn't want to see his ambitions succeed, but with her strength as a sixth-rank swordsman, what could she do?
Although she couldn't see through her grandmother's strength, she knew that she was a master above the Sword Saint. Even if Wu Tianxiong was a little worse, he was definitely above the Sword Saint. She didn't think her strength could compete with the Sword Saint.
However, Mu Hanyan couldn't just watch the Wu family's conspiracy succeed and the Yue family suffer the disaster of being wiped out.
"You don't have to do anything, just wait and see. If anything goes wrong, leave Shangyue immediately and return to Anyun. Also, I know your mother's personality. Although she's a little stubborn, she's actually very affectionate. If anything happens to us, you must keep an eye on her and don't let her do anything stupid," Lu Nianxin said. Judging from her expression and tone, she was clearly giving Mu Hanyan instructions for her final arrangements.
After hearing her grandmother's arrangements, Mu Hanyan's eyes became a little moist.
"Silly child, why are you crying like this? Actually, I was just talking. Maybe Wu Tianxiong is not that brave, and I am just worrying about nothing." Seeing the tears in Mu Hanyan's eyes, Lu Nianxin comforted her again.
Mu Hanyan knew that she was not being overly concerned. If Wu Tianxiong had been hesitant before, today's test had clearly exposed his ambition. Lu Nianxin had understood this, which was why she said this to Mu Hanyan.
"Mother, how about I revoke my decision for now? We can discuss the matter of making Hanyan the eldest princess later." Yue Fanyi said.
Wu Tianxiong's test today was completely unexpected. It was not appropriate to confer the title of Princess on Mu Hanyan at this time. Revealing Mu Hanyan's identity at this time would implicate both mother and daughter.
"That's unnecessary. I can hide Fan Ling's affairs from others, but I can't hide them from that old fox Wu Tianxiong. If he really wants to seize power and usurp the throne, he will definitely not let Fan Ling go in order to eliminate the root of the problem. I don't know what despicable means he will use in secret.
If Ling Fan and Han Yan's identities were announced to the world, he would always have some reservations, and it would be difficult to take action." Lu Nianxin shook his head.
After hearing her grandmother's words, Mu Hanyan secretly praised her wisdom. To maintain hereditary rule, the royal families of various countries deeply detested power grabs and usurpations. If Shangyue and Anyun restored diplomatic relations, and she returned to Anyun as the eldest princess of Shangyue, even if Wu Tianxiong succeeded in his plot, he would be unable to assassinate them. Not only would the Anyun royal family, but not others, never allow it.
Wu Tianxiong's attempt to seize power and usurp the throne was not legitimate in the first place, and he would not be recognized by the royal families of other countries for at least several hundred years. Under such circumstances, how could he dare to easily break off relations with An Yun?
Of course, for Mu Hanyan, she probably couldn't hide in Anyun and live a miserable life, and she couldn't ignore the life and death of her relatives.
"Grandma, is your injury really incurable?" Mu Hanyan asked.
After all, Lu Nianxin's injury is the key. As long as her injury is healed, Wu Tianxiong would not dare to act rashly.
"I'm afraid it's incurable. Fan Yi has consulted countless famous doctors in the past two years, but they are all helpless. I have accepted my fate." Lu Nianxin said calmly.
"Can I take a look?" Mu Hanyan asked tentatively.
"You know medicine?" Lu Nianxin asked in surprise.
"I learned a little at Longyan College," Mu Hanyan answered honestly. After all, she had only been studying medicine for a short time, and she didn't have much confidence. But she couldn't rest easy until she tried.
"I forgot that the old guys in Longyan Academy are very creative. If you want to participate in the trial of the Fantasy Dragon Palace, you have to learn a little bit of everything. Well, just wait and see. If you really cure grandma's injury, grandma will give you whatever you want." Lu Nianxin obviously knew the rules of Longyan Academy. He knew that Mu Hanyan had learned a little bit of alchemy, alchemy and formations in addition to learning medicine, so he didn't take her medical skills seriously. But he didn't want to refuse her kindness, so he stretched out his hand and said.
Holding the pulse gate, Mu Hanyan activated the Divine Martial Soul Refining Technique, and a divine thought went into Lu Nian's heart to explore.
Compared to ordinary practitioners, Lu Nianxin's meridians are many times wider and stronger, and the energy in them is even more majestic and full of spiritual energy.
Mu Hanyan knew that this was actually no longer the energy of an ordinary swordsman, but the holy energy that only sword masters possessed. The power and mystery of it were simply incomparable to the energy of a swordsman.
Relying on the holy energy, masters at the level of Sword Saint can not only unleash the mighty sword that can break mountains and overturn seas, but their lifespan is also greatly increased. It is not difficult for them to live for five, six hundred years or even thousands of years.
However, at this time, the saint's energy in Lu Nianxin's body was extremely unstable, sometimes strong, sometimes weak, and sometimes intermittent, but there was no abnormality in the meridians, qi sea, and internal organs.
There were no signs of poisoning, no signs of sealing, and even no signs of injury. If Mu Hanyan hadn't known she'd been injured, she would have thought she had some strange illness.
"How could this happen? It doesn't make sense." After a long time, Mu Hanyan withdrew her hand and muttered to herself in confusion.
"Forget it. My injury is indeed strange. Not to mention the imperial physicians in the palace, even those so-called famous doctors who claim to be masters of medicine can't see any clues. You don't have to force it." Lu Nianxin said comfortingly, fearing that Mu Hanyan would be hit hard.
"Grandma, who exactly hurt you?" Mu Hanyan asked.
Faced with such injuries, she was completely helpless and could only try to find a way to heal the person who attacked her. As long as she could find that person and know the martial arts he used, she should be able to find a way to heal the injury.
"I'm not sure about that either," Lu Nianxin said after a moment's hesitation. Although it was only a momentary hesitation, it still didn't escape Mu Hanyan's eyes.
