Chapter 137 Are you Medicine King Valley just a bunch of bug repairers?
The next day, Su Xiaoyu was awakened by the faint chirping of birds outside the stable.
The soreness in the back of her neck was still lingering. She frowned and opened her eyes with difficulty to look around.
Haystacks, stables.
In an instant, memories of being attacked by assassins last night flooded back like a tidal wave!
She jolted awake and sat up abruptly from behind the haystack! After looking around, she realized that the stable was empty, and the horse 'Zhaoye' was nowhere to be seen.
Not only the Crown Prince's imperial horses, but most of the stables in the entire horse farm were empty, with only a few horses left for pulling carriages or as spares.
"broken!"
Su Xiaoyu had a bad feeling and immediately ran out without thinking.
Last night, she heard Fugui say that before the autumn hunt begins, everyone will gather at the training ground, which is a huge square.
However, when Su Xiaoyu arrived at the training ground, panting, the main force had already disappeared. Only messy hoofprints and cart tracks remained on the ground, and some guards were still patrolling and on duty not far away.
Su Xiaoyu's heart sank, and she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
We arrived too late. Was this fate?
The Crown Prince fell from his horse, and the Marquis's residence, responsible for security during this incident, will be the first to be held accountable, whether it be the Marquis or the heir.
Then, the Marquis and the heir apparent will be placed under surveillance, and the Third Prince will immediately jump out and launch a fierce impeachment campaign against the Crown Prince, citing the reason that he "failed to protect the Crown Prince, resulting in the Crown Prince being seriously injured and thus failing to live up to the Emperor's grace."
In his fury and heartache, the emperor would immediately order the marquis and his son to be stripped of their official positions and imprisoned in their residences to await investigation.
And this is just the beginning. The Third Prince's investigative power will quickly fabricate charges against the Marquis's family as "colluding with border generals with ulterior motives" and using this as an opportunity to plot against the Crown Prince!
At that time, the forged secret letter and the 'witnesses' who had been bribed in advance will appear one after another, plunging the Marquis's mansion into an abyss of no return.
Just then, Lin Wan'er descends like a savior. She persuades her grandfather to help the Marquis's family and tries her best to maneuver in front of the Emperor. In the end, she barely manages to save the lives of everyone in the Marquis's family, but their titles and power are certainly lost.
Lin Wan'er's only condition for making the move was that Xiao Jingheng must marry her.
Therefore, under the pressure of his family's survival, Xiao Jingheng will eventually marry Lin Wan'er.
As for Crown Prince Chu Yu in the original book, after falling from his horse and becoming disabled, he not only lost his chance to ascend the throne, but also became depressed and despondent due to his physical disability and the difficulty of achieving his ambitions. In the end, he was bedridden and died of depression.
A crown prince who could have been a capable ruler ended up with such a tragic end.
No!
This absolutely cannot be done!
Thinking of the ending in the original book, Su Xiaoyu clenched her fists tightly, her mind rapidly weighing the options.
Whether for the sake of the Marquis's mansion or for the Crown Prince, she could not stand idly by and watch the tragedy unfold.
Su Xiaoyu took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.
Suddenly, a person flashed into her mind.
Shen Guangnian! Yes! Find Shen Guangnian!
He was in charge of the Eastern Depot, with his agents spread throughout the hunting grounds. He was also the most trusted chief eunuch by the emperor's side, and his words carried great weight.
If he were to send someone to find the Crown Prince and warn him in advance that there was a problem with the horse, it would be much more effective and would resolve the crisis.
With that in mind, Su Xiaoyu no longer hesitated. She took out the token that Shen Yuejiao had given her before she set off, intending to go to the outer perimeter of the core camp first and find someone to deliver a message to Shen Guangnian.
Just as Su Xiaoyu reached a fork in the road, a hand suddenly reached out from an unused tent and pulled her over with irresistible force!
"ah!"
Su Xiaoyu exclaimed in surprise, caught off guard and pulled to a secluded corner by the path, her back slamming heavily against the tent pole.
She was about to yell at someone, but when she looked up and saw who it was, she froze on the spot!
"He...the Divine Physician He?"
What are you doing here?
Su Xiaoyu clutched her chest, still shaken, and looked at him.
The other person still had an air of otherworldly wisdom, but now his face no longer had the previous calm and detachment. Instead, it carried an unprecedented seriousness and urgency.
"Girl, put away your thoughts and stop what you're trying to do right now!" Doctor Crane warned her.
Su Xiaoyu was shocked.
How could he know?
The Divine Physician Crane seemed to see through her thoughts. "You want to go find that Lord Shen and tell him that the Crown Prince's imperial horse has been tampered with in an attempt to change the Crown Prince's fate of falling from his horse, is that right?"
Su Xiaoyu's pupils contracted, and she took a half-step back warily, putting distance between herself and Doctor He.
"Sorry, I don't understand what you're saying."
They might think it, but they would never admit it out loud.
"Foolish child!" Doctor Crane cried out in anguish. "I warned you long ago that forcibly interfering with a predetermined destiny would come at a price you cannot bear. Even if it meant your soul was scattered and you were completely annihilated, would you be so fearless?"
"I……"
Su Xiaoyu opened her mouth, wanting to explain.
She meant to say that she was terrified of death, extremely terrified.
But... just because of this, are we just going to stand by and watch the tragedy happen?
Seeing her hesitation, Doctor Crane continued, "Do you think this is just a matter for you alone?"
His voice was heavy, carrying a sense of helpless protection and resolute determination.
"Do you know that the author of this book has long been riddled with loopholes and logical inconsistencies due to its immature and sloppy conception? The sole mission of our Medicine King Valley lineage, which has existed for generations, is to repair the plot, maintain the stability of this world, and prevent its complete collapse!"
Su Xiaoyu felt a chill run down her spine, and the hairs on her body stood on end.
"You mean... your Medicine King Valley is just a bunch of bug fixers?"
This explains why the legendary Medicine King Valley is mysterious and powerful, not subject to the jurisdiction of any of the kingdoms, and holds a transcendent status.
I've heard that all the disciples in the valley possess extraordinary abilities.
It turns out that these people were all restorers sent by the author!
"If it's a logical flaw in the author's work, they can just fill in the gaps in the later parts of the story. Why insist on following the established outline? Why force a fix? Wouldn't it be enough to just give the characters a perfect ending?"
"Shouldn't readers be most looking forward to a happy ending?"
Faced with Su Xiaoyu's question, Doctor He shook his head helplessly and said:
"Because the further the plot progresses, the stronger the self-awareness of the characters in the book becomes, which is no longer something the author can completely control."
The Crane Doctor's tone became more serious, "Even so, the core plot must not be changed! The Crown Prince falling from his horse, the Marquis's family being wronged, and Lin Wan'er saving the day and getting married are the key points set by the author."
If you insist on interfering, you will be forcibly altering the core plot. Not only will you be annihilated by the 'plot correction power,' but the entire world will also disappear completely due to the collapse of character settings and the chaos of logic. Everyone here will vanish into nothingness!
Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoyu was struck dumb, as if by lightning!
Originally, I thought that changing the plot would endanger myself, but I never expected that it would involve the life and death of the entire world.
Medicine King Valley, is it really the world's repairman? And if she insists on going her own way, will she become the fuse that destroys the world?
Save one person, or save the whole world?
The sudden influx of information was so overwhelming that Su Xiaoyu could hardly breathe.
