18 Days of Scavenging
The little robot simply delivers its warning and then turns and leaves.
As for whether humans will listen or not?
Sorry, this is not within the scope of a robot's work.
The eunuch leading the way looked at the king in fear, and seeing the latter nod, he followed Najitong with small steps.
The people at the center of the incident had left, but the Third Young Master, who remained behind, couldn't calm down for a while. He felt that he had always been in excellent health, with no problems walking, sitting, or lying down, so how could he have suddenly been poisoned!
That guy must be talking nonsense!
He must be jealous of JSG's previous rudeness, considering that he didn't even accept the apology from the dignified Third Young Master.
While thinking this, the Third Young Master unconsciously took off his jade pendant.
The king noticed his actions and said with a calm gaze, "It's just an object. If it bothers you, throw it away. Also, have someone summon the royal physician to take a good look at it."
With that, the king turned and left.
As for the remaining people kneeling on the ground?
All they heard was the faint farewell that followed the king's departing footsteps: "The rest of you, for your disrespect before the king, each shall receive fifteen strokes of the cane and be carried back."
It seemed like that was the end of it.
Of course not.
The third young master returned to his palace and, while waiting for the imperial physician to arrive, had someone report all the recent rumors about immortals.
He had hoped to find some trace of deception to comfort himself, but the more he listened, the more uneasy he felt.
The various legends surrounding this snow-haired deity are completely unlike those of the so-called "celestial masters" or "immortals" of the past, whose miracles are all vague and illusory "auspicious omens," nor are they the "miracles" that require various rituals to manifest beforehand.
Rather, it is a spatial art that is not limited by location, requires no preparation, and can be displayed at any time.
More importantly, the miracles performed by the Snow God are real and tangible. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and the entire Guanshi County benefited from them, turning the tide of the battle. This is something that cannot be faked!
Even with the return of Hong and Sheng's armies to the capital, the divine weapons and armor transformed by the magic of immortals were presented as real objects. The Military Equipment Bureau has been studying them day and night recently. However, even with the participation of the blacksmiths sent by Guanshi County, without the guidance of this snow-haired deity, they simply cannot fathom the mysteries within.
With this information as a basis, the rumor that the snow-haired deity was attacked with knives and axes in full view of everyone, yet his clothes were not even torn and his body was completely unharmed, which sounded very fake, became extremely credible.
The more the Third Young Master listened, the more restless he became.
In the end, he even felt uncomfortable all over his body, as if the undetected poison had spread throughout his body and was beyond the reach of medicine!
The Third Young Master felt that the wait for the imperial physician to arrive was extremely long.
He waited and waited, and finally saw Sun Yichao, the head of the Imperial Hospital, carrying a medicine box. He couldn't even wait for the other person to enter the door, and hurriedly took the initiative to go forward.
"Imperial Physician Sun, please quickly examine my body!"
Sun Yichao was surprised that the Third Young Master was in such a hurry, but he didn't say much. He asked someone to sit down nearby and then began to take the pulse.
"Your pulse is steady and smooth, and beats strongly. You are in good health, Third Young Master... Hmm, please wait a moment."
As Sun Yichao held on, a hint of hesitation flashed across his face.
The Third Young Master's heart pounded wildly as Sun Yichao took his pulse.
When he heard that his pulse was normal and there was nothing wrong, he felt a great sense of relief and couldn't help but resent the despicable person who had maliciously cursed him.
However, before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, he noticed that the imperial physician's expression was off.
The third young master's heart skipped a beat.
No, no way?
"What?! What's wrong with me?! I'm not really poisoned, am I?!" the Third Young Master asked anxiously.
Sun Yichao was puzzled because the pulse felt normal to the touch, yet there was something subtly off about it. He pondered for a long time but still couldn't figure out the reason.
Upon hearing the Third Young Master's words, it seemed he knew the reason behind it?
Sun Yichao immediately asked, "Poisoning? Could the Third Young Master please tell me the details so that I can better determine the cause?"
So the third young master recounted what had happened.
He even had someone hold the jade pendant out of the way so that Sun Yichao could take a look.
What the Third Young Master didn't expect was that Sun Yichao became very agitated after hearing who had said the conclusion that "the Third Young Master was poisoned".
While taking the third young master's pulse again, he muttered to himself, "Was it Master Ji who said that? It can't be wrong. I have to take a closer look. It must be because my skills are not good enough and I have missed something..."
The Third Young Master was stunned by what he heard.
A moment later, he realized that the rumors seemed to mention that the immortal master had saved Guanshi County from the plague that had destroyed the city.
Such medical skills, even if not divine, would surely inspire other doctors to yearn for them. Moreover, this head of the Imperial Hospital seems to be from the Sun family, which has a branch in Guanshi County.
At this moment, the Third Young Master did not consider the possibility that Sun Yichao might be deceiving him. He only thought that since the Immortal Master had such good medical skills, then his claim that he was poisoned...?
Instantly, the Third Young Master slumped into his seat.
Just then, Sun Yichao suddenly exclaimed, "Found it! Found it! It was hidden so well that we wouldn't have noticed it at all if the Immortal Master hadn't reminded us!"
Realizing the implications of those words, the Third Young Master's vision went black...
.
Na Jitong was completely unaware of what had happened in the Third Young Master's palace; at this moment, he was already thriving in the Military Equipment Bureau.
After the eunuch beside the king brought the person over, he left. The little robot introduced itself and was welcomed into the Armory. The officials there had already been captivated by the divine weapons and armor, and were filled with utmost respect for the creator.
Now that they've seen him in person, there's no resistance or backlash. They're all eager to become his personal assistants and follow him around!
Upon hearing that the King had arranged for the Immortal Master to come here to work, the Military Equipment Bureau was overjoyed and brought up all their previous questions to seek his advice.
In the little robot's eyes, these people are all contributing to the recycling of garbage, and it gives them pointers without holding back.
How to smelt iron more efficiently, how to achieve higher temperatures, how to improve fuel extraction rates, how to formulate special extracts, and so on.
The entire Ordnance Bureau was bustling with activity.
By the time the little robot was urged to go home and rest, it was already past midnight.
The road back to the residence from the palace was deserted and quiet; there wasn't a soul in sight. An ordinary person walking alone on such a road would likely feel uneasy and suspicious.
However, the little robot is not human, so the night has no effect on him.
So he walked on calmly until he suddenly saw several figures in front of his own house.
The little robot, not frightened at all, quickly recognized who the figure was.
It was the Third Young Master I had met during the day.
The little robot took a few steps closer, looking at the group of humans with a strange expression: "Hello?"
"Who!!" The Third Young Master was startled by the small robot that was moving so quietly. Upon realizing who it was, his terrified expression instantly turned to ecstatic joy. "Immortal Master! Please, Immortal Master, save me!!!"
His shouts even alerted the neighbors, and the scattered candles were lit.
The little robot looked around, then at the Third Young Master who clearly couldn't finish his sentence, and knew that it shouldn't disturb humans' sleep under normal circumstances.
So he pushed open the gate of the house and beckoned the Third Young Master and the others, "Come in and let's talk."
A group of people rushed in from outside.
As they stepped into the light, the little robot noticed that the eunuchs behind the Third Young Master were carrying or lifting boxes.
These boxes are similar to the gift boxes from before.
As soon as the Third Young Master entered, he eagerly instructed the eunuchs to bring in all the boxes, and didn't forget to ask Ji Tong, "Immortal Master, where should we put these things?"
"These... are for me?"
"Yes, yes, these are all gifts to apologize to the Immortal Master. I was blind and offended you during the day, so I can only offer these mundane items to apologize. If the Immortal Master feels it is not enough, please tell me how you wish to punish me, as long as, I only ask that you save my life."
In the end, the Third Young Master disregarded his status and knelt down in front of the little robot with a thud.
"Please, Immortal Master, have mercy and don't bother with a foolish mortal like me! I'm still so young, I don't want to die... Waaaaah..."
The butler and servants of the Nagi family, who came to greet their master, were all stunned by what they saw.
That's the esteemed Third Prince! The King's most beloved son! And now he's so utterly disregarding his manners, it's simply... simply...
The steward and the others tried their best to keep a low profile, afraid that the Third Young Master would see them. What if he remembered this incident later and took his anger out on them?
At this moment, the Third Young Master had no time to pay attention to the thoughts of the people around him. He was trembling with fear at the thought that he was poisoned and had no cure.
So what if he kneels before the immortal master! This is a deity! Even his father had to kneel to show respect when worshipping Heaven. What's wrong with him kneeling before a real deity?
If he weren't afraid of being disliked by the gods, he would have even wanted to hug the gods' legs and cry his heart out.
He could only pray that the gods would be merciful and save him.
Now only Master Ji can save his life!
After discovering that he had indeed been poisoned, the Third Young Master immediately ordered Sun Yichao to be given the antidote.
However, to his surprise, Sun Yichao said that he was powerless to help, saying that he had never seen such a poison in all his life, and that he had never encountered it in any of the medical books he had read.
Afterwards, the Third Prince personally went to the Imperial Hospital and summoned all the imperial physicians to examine him.
Some imperial physicians couldn't even detect the poisoning in the pulse. Those who could shook their heads, indicating that there was no cure for the poison.
Even with the king personally exerting pressure, the royal physicians were completely helpless against the poison.
Just when all hope seemed lost, Sun Yichao suddenly mentioned the medical skills of Master Ji.
The third young master grasped at this lifeline, not even waiting a day. He personally opened the storehouse and filled it with all sorts of apology treasures. He didn't care that it was the middle of the night and went to the gate of the auspicious residence to wait for the man.
That's why we're in this situation today.
