Chapter 3275 Success
Prince Gong left the Princess's residence in a rage, unable to resist saying to the eunuch beside him, "We went to such great lengths to invite so many people back to the capital, just to get that little bit of blood. Who would believe that?"
"Zhou Man must have wanted that blood," Prince Gong sneered. "Cut the grass at its roots, and Mingda actually wants to let him go after getting the blood. What the hell is she thinking?"
The eunuch didn't dare to speak, but just listened with his head lowered.
Prince Gong thought for a moment, then suppressed his anger and offered his help. However, his actions were not as gentle as Mingda's. He spread rumors, submitted memorials, and even ran to Changsheng Temple to see the monk Tianzhu. He said to him directly, "I have heard that the monk lived to be two hundred years old, and that eating his flesh can have the same effect. I wonder if it is true or not."
Narasavasavada: ...
Prince Gong frightened Na Luo Er, then turned around and walked away arrogantly.
Changyu and other princesses and princes also came to Beijing one after another. Changlefang and Xingningfang became lively, and the number of carriages and horses entering and leaving the two squares every day was more than ten times that before.
There was no way around it, as these two districts were mostly inhabited by royal relatives, not to mention the princes with fiefs, and even few princesses lived in the capital, most of them lived with their husbands in their husband's homes.
But everyone traveled in fancy cars and beautiful clothes, so it was a bit conspicuous to see cars carrying furniture and ornaments entering and leaving a mansion in Changlefang.
Princess Ankang opened the curtains and peeked outside. She saw the other party's car parked nearby. It waited until they passed before starting to move again. She asked, "Has Changlefang moved into a new home? I wonder who it is?"
This area is full of mansions owned by the imperial court. They are not bought or sold, but only given as rewards. The houses here are all big, and only Dukes and above can be given as rewards here.
"It's the Princess Liyang's Mansion, not far ahead."
Princess Ankang tilted her head slightly to glance over there, then lowered the curtains. "I've heard of your great name for a long time, but I've never met this princess. Her name seems rarely heard among the people."
The palace maid laughed and said, "People are used to calling her Lord Zhou and Little Miraculous Doctor. I heard that even the court officials often can't remember the title of Princess."
Princess Ankang nodded slightly, "I must have a proper meeting this time. As a woman, I think only my aunt has ever been able to stand before the court."
But it wasn't for long, and she spent most of her time leading troops to guard the border.
However, Princess Ankang still did not see Zhou Man. She was on vacation, concentrating on resting and playing with her daughter.
Little Bai Jingxing has been having a lot of fun in the capital these past two days. The capital is really so much fun.
When Zhou Man returned to court, the situation in the court had changed drastically. Even among the people, there were rumors that Na Luo'er's blood elixir could save the emperor's favorite Princess Mingda.
The other party only needs to pay a bowl of blood, and his life will not be in danger. Moreover, according to the doctor, drawing a bowl of blood will not have much impact on the body.
Zhou Man stood in the court hall, pretending that this matter had nothing to do with her, and listened to the ministers' discussions.
The emperor finally couldn't stop it and had to send someone to invite Na Luoer to the main hall to discuss the matter.
When Narasava received the summons, he knew that the matter was settled.
He sighed, put on his monk's robe, picked up his Buddhist beads, and went to Taiji Palace with a solemn expression.
Along the way, he was thinking about the reason for his failure. He was almost successful. Once the emperor finished this batch of medicine, he would take another batch and it would be almost done. By then, he would find an excuse to leave the capital...
Everything started to change when Mr. Zhou came back.
This is not Central India. The only real confidants around him are the two martial monks he brought from his hometown. Originally, they were from the Buddha family, and he could have helped the Huguo Temple here, but the Huguo Temple has always been distant and unwilling to interact much with the Changsheng Temple, which made him isolated and helpless.
He has been operating in the capital for more than half a year and has developed some followers, but the time is still too short. Few civil and military officials in the court are willing to speak for him.
The main reason was that the elders in charge disliked him. They had clearly accepted a lot of medicinal herbs from him, but they turned their backs on him...
Narālāsāva went up to the hall with all sorts of thoughts in his mind, and finally Minister Li came forward and asked him to give the princess blood.
Because he was a member of the imperial clan, he was the most qualified person to speak on this matter. With a look of self-blame and sadness on his face, he said, "Princess Mingda is the most beloved daughter of His Majesty and His Majesty. However, she has been frail and sickly since childhood, and there has been no cure. If Master is willing to donate a little blood, our royal family of Li and His Majesty will be deeply grateful."
Na Luoer said calmly, "Bodhisattva saves all living beings. It is my fate and honor to be able to save the princess. However, I am an old man. I have only heard that the blood of young people can make people's blood boil, but I have never heard that the blood of an old man like me can save people."
Minister Li said seriously, "But Master, you are not an ordinary old man. You are already two hundred years old and will live even longer. There is something in your blood that grants immortality. We do not expect the princess to live forever, but only hope that she is healthy and safe."
Luo Er's face looked unhappy. If this news got out, even if he could leave the capital alive in the future, he might not be able to return to his hometown alive - who knows how many people would want to drink his blood.
Na Luo Er knew that the situation was hopeless, so he stopped struggling and happily asked them to draw his blood.
Zhou Man swallowed and was eager to try, but Xiao Yuanzheng glared at her. She could only wait patiently and watch the medical assistant from the Imperial Hospital come forward with instruments to draw blood.
The blood drawing equipment in the Imperial Hospital has been improved a lot. It is not very painful and can be done with just a needle.
It was the first time that Na Luoer saw these devices. He watched his blood pass through the less transparent sheep intestines and fall into a container. He was stunned for a long time before he reacted.
The medical skills of the Great Jin Dynasty...are they really so miraculous?
No wonder, no wonder...
The medical assistant secretly glanced at Zhou Man and Xiao Yuanzheng standing in the front row. Seeing that they both nodded, he pulled out the needle to stop the bleeding.
After the blood was drawn, Zhou Man couldn't sit still anymore.
The emperor sitting above seemed to know what she was thinking. In fact, he also wanted to know how old Luo Er was. At this point, there was no point in continuing the grand court meeting, so he waved his hand and said, "Alright, let's end the grand court meeting here. Come, send the master back to rest."
Zhou Man immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the master has just lost blood. We at the Imperial Hospital have some precious herbs that can replenish blood. How about I examine the master and give him some herbs? He will recover soon."
The emperor nodded, "Yes."
Zhou Man became happy. Now, not only could he get blood, but he could also feel Luo Er's pulse.
But she was delusional, because Luo Er refused, "I'm just a little sleepy, I guess I'm tired, so I'll go back and rest first. Thank you, Lord Zhou, there's no need to take my pulse."
Zhou Man couldn't force him, so he could only watch him walk away with regret, then turned around and ran to find medical help.
The medical assistant had already placed the blood vessel in a box. He and Xiao Yuan were standing on the steps outside the Taiji Hall, holding the box and waiting. When he saw Zhou Man coming, he immediately presented the things to him.
Zhou Man opened the box and took a look, very satisfied. "It's well preserved. Give me the blood."
Xiao Yuanzheng asked her curiously, "How do you study this?"
Zhou Man couldn't bring herself to tell him that her teaching room had plenty of equipment and materials for blood tests, so she could only say, "Just wait for the results. Dean Xiao, can I be excused from reporting in for the next two days?"
Xiao Yuanzheng waved his hand and said, "Go, go."
Zhou Man happily held the box and turned around to leave the palace.
