"Your Majesty, the people have been brought!"
In the military camp outside Zhongzhou City, Helian Chen brought several people dressed in Taoist robes and monk robes.
"Hmm! Let them take a close look! I want to know, what exactly happened to the Sage?"
Xie Yuan has been in Zhongzhou for three days.
She lived in the royal tent, recuperating while staying by Helian Jue's bedside.
Helian Jue remained unconscious, and the imperial physicians, led by the chief physician, were practically on the verge of suicide.
They knew that if they couldn't awaken the saint, they, and even their families, might not be able to save their lives.
It was a matter of life and death, so they dared not slack off.
Unfortunately, their own medical skills were limited, and they couldn't find the cause of the illness.
However, their clandestine search in Zhongzhou and the surrounding areas yielded no results in finding any hidden doctors among the common people.
It seems that doctors and herbal medicine alone cannot save Helian Jue.
Then, the monks and Taoist priests took their places.
These are all highly accomplished masters whom Helian Chen sought out in Zhongzhou and the surrounding areas.
Some of them were already very old, but just by looking at them, they had the appearance of compassionate immortals.
only--
Cough cough, even a deity couldn't wake a madman who's deliberately pretending to be asleep.
"It's not witchcraft! It's not a curse!"
"There is no retribution in the underworld, no cycle of cause and effect!"
Several highly skilled individuals followed in the footsteps of the imperial physicians, almost to the point of hanging themselves.
There was nothing they could do; the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was lying on the bed.
The woman sitting by the bed was no ordinary woman confined to her home, but the Empress, who held the power of life and death.
With just a single command from her, heads would roll and blood would flow like rivers.
The emperor's coma had driven the usually calm and composed empress into a state of anxiety and madness.
No one, including Helian Chen, could guarantee that the Empress would not go on a killing spree for the sake of the Emperor!
However, enlightened masters are ultimately better at deceiving people than imperial physicians.
"Your Majesty, perhaps His Majesty has just returned from the battlefield, his killings were too heavy, and he is tainted with bloodlust—"
A kind-looking senior monk spoke with an air of seriousness.
Well, Buddhism has always emphasized atonement and the elimination of karmic obstacles.
They habitually advise people to do good and accumulate good karma.
Unable to figure out why Helian Jue had fallen into a coma, he could only bring up the recently concluded war in the Northwest.
Firstly, find an excuse to refuse;
Secondly, it was also an opportunity to persuade the Empress to do more good deeds and less killing.
"Nonsense! The Sage is the true Son of Heaven, naturally protected by the purple aura of a true dragon!"
Although Xie Yuan had to play the role of someone desperately seeking any treatment, he still instinctively wanted to side with and protect Helian Jue.
"...The sage is indeed the Son of Heaven, but he is still only in physical form and cannot withstand the purple aura and bloodlust for the time being..."
The head monk was intimidated by Xie Yuan's imposing presence, so the old Taoist priest with white hair and beard took his place.
This monk was more "sincere" than the senior monk, not only helping to smooth things over, but also bringing out the temple's prized treasure—the Seven Star Sword.
It is said that this is an ancient sword with a history of several hundred years, and the seven copper nails on it were personally refined by a Taoist master.
It can ward off evil spirits, bring blessings, and avert disasters!
"Your Majesty may hang this sword on the due east side of the bed; it will dispel the blood and evil energy from His Majesty!"
Xie Yuan: ...I don't believe your nonsense!
He was internally complaining, and his eyes were filled with doubt.
However, with medical treatment proving ineffective and nowhere else to turn for help, it seemed that only seeking divine intervention remained as an option!
"Someone, hang the Seven Star Sword in the position designated by the Master!"
Helian Chen: ...What a scoundrel! How dare he try to deceive the Empress like this!
While cursing inwardly, he secretly noted down the nonsense spouted by these charlatans, and didn't forget to follow Xie Yuan's instructions and properly arrange the Seven Star Sword.
Even after using the Spirit Sword's Evil-Repelling Technique, Xie Yuan still couldn't send these enlightened masters away.
Since we're already here, let's stay near the royal tent and chant sutras and pray for Helian Jue.
Monks and Taoists: ...
"It's been almost half a month. I've been at the royal tent for five days, and Helian Jue is still going on!"
Xie Yuan dismissed the enlightened masters, toured the military camp, and then returned to the royal tent.
She sat in front of the couch, looking intently at Helian Jue, but in her mind she was thinking, "I have been guarding Helian Jue almost day and night, and I only leave him for two quarters of an hour each day."
This gap should have been the time when the shadow guards secretly fed Helian Jue some food and reported the situation to him.
Time was short, and Helian Jue ate very little.
Therefore, in just five days, Helian Jue lost even more weight.
Her cheeks were somewhat sunken.
His body was also somewhat weak.
Being constantly lying down and having bitter medicine forced down one's throat can make even a perfectly healthy person feel utterly miserable.
Helian Jue must have lost a lot of weight, but he still refuses to end this farce.
"It seems he still hasn't had enough!"
Xie Yuan reached out and massaged Helian Jue's limbs to prevent muscle relaxation.
But in his heart, he had already made up his mind: it seems that he had no choice but to do it.
Otherwise, the insane Helian Jue would continue to endure it indefinitely.
Xie Yuan was starting to feel the strain.
She missed her child, but was also worried about everything in Beijing!
Sigh, even knowing that someone is secretly watching, they still take the risk.
Xie Yuanzhen couldn't understand how there could be such a madman as Helian Jue in this world.
What's even more terrifying is that this lunatic is her husband, whom she can't divorce at all, and he's also an emperor who has the power of life and death over everyone!
...
A month has passed since the earthquake in Southwest China, and Xie Yuan has already dispatched three forces to carry out rescue operations.
