Therefore, in this backward ancient world, there was even less possibility of a cure.
She will suffer a lot later on!
Thinking that Chu Qinghe would suffer terribly from illness later on, Su Yujiao felt relieved, as it was a way of avenging Mudan.
When Su Yujiao saw the Empress, she was given some painkillers, but there was no way to treat the underlying cause.
After all, she needed to undergo a series of examinations, which she simply couldn't complete.
After prescribing the medicine, the Empress invited them to dine in the palace.
During the meal, Su Yujiao tried to remind the two princesses of something, but it seemed to be of no use.
She spoke too bluntly, and 'Heaven's Way' automatically filtered out her words.
Her words were too subtle for the Empress to understand.
Helpless, she could only look for another opportunity.
Perhaps, we'll have to go through Lu Ziqian.
It's unbelievable. They're divorced, yet they still sleep in the same bed, as if she can't let go of him.
She'd be happy to have someone else enter her dreams, but she doesn't want too many people to know her secret.
The Prince's Residence.
Chu Zhongyuan sat in the hot spring pool, surrounded by steam, with beautiful women by his side, in the epitome of luxury.
Upon closer inspection, one could see human figures floating in the pool, with slender figures and fair skin, like mermaids.
Four palace maids were nearby, some massaging shoulders, some patting backs, and some feeding fruit...
Chu Zhongyuan closed his eyes and enjoyed himself, not at all like someone under house arrest.
Suddenly, a man who looked like a eunuch approached with a bow and light steps: "Master, Nightshade has returned."
"Let him in."
"yes."
Chu Zhongyuan patted the woman's head and said indifferently, "You may all leave."
All the birds in the pond quietly withdrew.
"Speak."
A masked man in black knelt respectfully before Chu Zhongyuan: "Your subordinate greets Your Majesty."
"Speak."
"My subordinate followed the Crown Prince of the Southern Frontier Kingdom all the way and found out that Chen Yunniang was not the Holy Maiden of the Southern Frontier Kingdom. The real Holy Maiden was Su Yujiao."
Chu Zhongyuan nodded; he had known about Chen Yunniang's fake sainthood for a long time.
What he wanted to know was what was so special about the Holy Maiden of the Southern Frontier Kingdom that made the Southern Frontier Kingdom so respectful.
Or is their reverence for the saint simply a matter of faith?
"What else did you find out? Is Chen Yunniang alive or dead?"
"Chen Yunniang was imprisoned by the Crown Prince of the Southern Frontier Kingdom in a secret chamber, heavily guarded, and she had no way to escape."
"Chen Yunniang doesn't seem to have anything special about her; I think she's just an ordinary woman."
"What is so special about the Holy Maiden of the Southern Frontier Kingdom?" he asked.
"I've heard that the true Holy Maiden of the Southern Frontier Kingdom possesses a Dragon-Snake Jade. Once the jade pendant recognizes its owner, it grants the ability to summon wind and rain, conjure objects out of thin air, and be omnipotent!"
"I also overheard from their conversation that Su Yujiao has already pledged allegiance to her master through a blood transfusion."
Can summon wind and rain, conjure objects out of thin air, and be omnipotent?
Chu Zhongyuan narrowed his eyes slightly. Isn't this a god?
Is Su Yujiao really that miraculous?
Or is it the magic of that jade pendant?
"Go and call Night Wind."
"You continue to keep an eye on things in the Southern Frontier Kingdom. Rescue Chen Yunniang at all costs."
"yes."
He refused to believe that Chen Yunniang had nothing special about her, otherwise why would she appear so frequently in his dreams and eventually become the person who climbed to the top with him?
Chu Zhongyuan emerged from the pool, casually draped an outer robe over his shoulders, and left the hot spring palace.
He found a black satchel in the study; it was picked up by his men after Jin Mudan's accident.
He had looked at the things inside; they were all strange and unfamiliar, and he didn't recognize any of them.
Without exception, these things, in terms of both workmanship and materials, were things that the Great Ming Kingdom did not possess.
To be precise, it's something that doesn't exist in this era!
Chu Zhongyuan pulled out the short dagger, which was extremely hard and gleamed with a cold light. The material it was made of was even superior to his Xuan Tie sword.
Are these all things from heaven?
"Master, did you summon me?"
"Hmm, I've been keeping an eye on Su Yujiao's every move these past few days. Have you discovered anything?"
Ye Feng respectfully replied, "Miss Su seems to have become omnipotent lately; some of her actions even seem strange to me."
"Explain in detail."
"A while ago, on the night you were first placed under house arrest, Miss Su seemed to be very happy."
Chu Zhongyuan paused slightly as he played with the dagger, a half-smile playing on his lips.
"continue."
Ye Feng glanced at his master's face and, seeing that he wasn't angry, continued, "That night, Miss Su personally prepared a large table of food to celebrate... cough cough... your confinement."
Ye Feng glanced at Chu Zhongyuan's expression again, and seeing that he didn't react, he continued.
"The Crown Prince and the two little princesses all went."
"Miss Su took out a very beautiful pastry from the house, which was decorated with fresh flowers, and said that she made it herself."
"But I've been watching Miss Su's every move all day. She was indeed busy all day, but she didn't make any pastries."
"She just went into the kitchen once, and when she came out, she had a box of pastries in her hand."
"Over the next two days, Miss Su made one for the Empress and another for Wei Zhong."
"Without exception, she took them directly from the kitchen."
"She told the people in the courtyard that she got up early in the morning to prepare things, and even picked flowers, kneaded dough, cracked eggs, and sprinkled powdered sugar in front of the cook..."
"They even kept saying that the things made for the Empress had to be more exquisite, and that the craftsmanship had to be kept secret."
"Her words made it seem as if she was making pastries, but her subordinates could see it clearly from the roof beams."
"After she kicked the cook out, all the dough was steamed into buns, and the flowers were thrown into the stove."
"Then, as she was about to leave, she took a box of flower pastries out of the cupboard."
Chu Zhongyuan asked incredulously, "You saw her appear out of thin air with your own eyes?"
Night Wind shook his head: "I didn't see it, which is also what I find strange."
"I wonder if she hid it in the closet beforehand, or if it appeared out of thin air?"
"If it had been hidden beforehand, I should have seen it."
"In short, that Miss Su is very strange."
"Also, on the day that the Lu family patriarch held his birthday banquet, Zhou jumped into the well. She took the opportunity to go into the room and then took out a very strange rope from her sleeve."
"The rope was very thick and large, with some hooks and straps on it. In short, it was a huge ball in your hand."
"She actually took it out directly from her sleeve."
"That night was hot, and Miss Su was wearing very close-fitting and thin clothes. It was impossible for her to have such a large bundle of rope in her sleeves."
“There are many such incidents, but each time I was unable to witness with my own eyes how she conjured things out of thin air.”
Chu Zhongyuan's lips curled into a smile: "Interesting."
Have you seen her jade pendant?
"No."
"Send a few more people to keep an eye on it."
"yes."
Chu Zhongyuan stood alone by the window, his gaze deep, as if he were brewing a grand plan.
He once said he wanted both the empire and the beauty!
