Chapter 89
The atmosphere in the capital gradually became tense.
Inside the embassy.
Yu Ruo looked at the latest information about the seventh prince.
Before they came to the Great Zhou, they only focused on the three princes who were able to attend court and participate in government affairs, and the rest were placed in secondary positions.
He was born with a bad mother and was the reincarnation of an evil fetus. When he was two years old, he was suddenly taken out of Ju'an Palace by the emperor as if by God, and the emperor chose Concubine Xuan as his adoptive mother.
The feared Marquis of the Sword took the initiative to hand over power and transformed the Northern Frontier into a decentralized system similar to that of Zhennan Pass, eliminating the vigilance of the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty and also allowing the Seventh Prince, who had been sickly since childhood, to receive more care.
It is even said that his adult brothers did not regard the youngest and sickly brother as a rival. Instead, because they were impressed by the power behind him, they showed their friendship to him from time to time.
Everything is just right.
At this time, Yu Ruo only felt that God favored the Seventh Prince, and had no idea how much effort Qu Dubian had put in from the beginning of the collapse to the smooth flow of the game, and how many times he had to avoid the schemes in order to survive.
Gu Xin said, "Your Highness, Duke Lu is still in prison. I heard he hasn't slept for three days... The people of Da Zhou have been interrogating him. If this continues, he might spill some palace secrets. That would be bad."
Yu Ruo: "Even if Father tries to appease the Queen's family, he won't really tell him important secrets. At most, he will reveal some embarrassing things, which is not a big deal."
Is there anything more humiliating than defeat in battle?
The most important thing now is when the seventh prince of the Great Zhou will wake up.
In the past two days, the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple of the Great Zhou have gone completely crazy. Their wolf-like spirit is frightening, as if they will not stop until they have bitten off a large piece of meat from Nanning.
The little advantage he had gained through his clumsy calculations was gone.
The Great Zhou was so aggressive that they stepped on the table and spoke passionately during the negotiation. The conditions that had been put forward, such as the six cities of Youyun and the eight cities of Jiangzhou and a certain amount of silver, were restored in the blink of an eye. Not only that, they also demanded double the silver as compensation, on the grounds that the money would be used for the medical treatment of their seventh prince.
The Minister of Revenue was so excited that he couldn't sleep at home these two days.
Although it was not a good idea to think this way, he really wanted to set off firecrackers to thank the Seventh Prince - please, this dizziness is so good, so wonderful!
How much silver and land did you give to Da Zhou during the days you were dizzy?
What a bullshit that Prince Yu Ruo was injured and fell, and he openly exposed it and knew it was a blackmail. How could their Seventh Prince come here openly and honestly!
-
Concubine Xuan specifically asked Ye Xiaoyuan to go to the Marquis Chijian's Mansion.
She was worried that Madam Wu was too worried in the Marquis' Mansion and something might happen.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wu's condition was much better than Ye Xiaoyuan thought.
Instead, she comforted Ye Xiaoyuan: "I know, you just tell Empress Xuan to rest assured. Xiaoguai hates me worrying about him the most. When he wakes up, tell him that he doesn't have to rush here to see me. Grandma is still very strong and can take care of herself. Tell him to have a good rest and come out to play after he recovers."
Ye Xiaoyuan: "Well, as soon as there is any news from Shunning Palace, I will come and tell you."
Master Fang didn't sleep much either.
He walked back and forth in the yard with his hands behind his back. Although he was used to the Seventh Prince taking sick leave from time to time, this was the first time he had seen him sleep for three days.
The barbarians in Nanning are indeed rude.
-
The day after the letter from the king arrived in Nanning, agreeing to cede six cities of Youyun and twelve cities of Jiangzhou, and to double the silver as compensation.
Inside Shunning Palace.
Qu Watanabe finally regained consciousness.
My eyelids felt heavy and I tried for a while but still couldn't move. I was probably hungry and had no strength, but I felt very comfortable.
A warmth flowed through his meridians, like a spring breeze blowing life into the earth. To put it more bluntly, it was like taking a bath.
I don’t know how long I slept... It seems that it will take some time for my body and consciousness to reconnect.
Qu Duan looked at the simulator.
His Dantian had been opened, so he could buy the next chapter of Mian Shou Jue.
[Remaining life span: 9 years and 75 days]
[Simulated diseases: fever, rhinitis (nasal sinusitis), cough...]
[Backpack: Novel 401/123, Detoxification Pill 2/2, Incense Powder Making Recipe 1/1...]
Qu Dubian glanced over these and picked up the last one.
Simulator: [[Mian Shou Jue·Part 2] will be sold for three years, do you want to buy it? ]
After a moment's hesitation, Qu Watanabe confirmed the purchase.
[[Mian Shou Jue·Part 2] has been purchased, the remaining lifespan is 6 years and 75 days, please check the purchased items in the backpack]
After working hard for another three years, I went bankrupt just because I bought all the books.
He asked the simulator: "I feel that your program settings are unreasonable. How about adding some disease types with longer trial periods, and then increasing the bonus lifespan? Look, some chronic diseases are compressed into two or three days. They must not be written carefully, right?"
Simulator: [Your suggestion has been included.]
"Okay," Qu Duan went into his backpack to look at the next chapter of his newly purchased mental method.
On the first page it says: Mian Shou Jue, all things will come back to life, vitality will return, muscles and bones will be nourished externally, and essence will be contained internally.
Qu Dubian compared other mental methods with the Mian Shou Jue and found that the gap between the two was quite large, and there were also slight differences in the routes of the circulation of true qi.
If the first part is about the circulation of meridians, the second part is to teach him how to use this true energy.
Including detailed methods of injuring, killing, and healing.
The more he looked, the more serious Qu Watanabe became.
"...The true qi flowing through the body can gradually repair the damaged meridians." He had already felt this deeply when he had previously attacked Dantian acupoint. The damaged meridians were recovering faster as his true qi circulated.
But he studied the explanation in the next chapter, which said that he could repair the meridians of others by circulating his Qi in their bodies? Was there any hope for his uncle to stand up again?
Reading further, I found that his method of helping was not working. To repair the meridians, the true Qi must be nourished in the body all the time.
First, he couldn't be with his uncle all the time, and his father would definitely not be happy about that; second, he was still a relatively newbie at this stage, and with such little internal energy, he might fall down even if he tried to climb walls and fly over eaves, let alone heal others' injuries.
Qu Watanabe sighed.
He closed his backpack and checked his favorability again.
Wen Xiaochun: 59
Xie Mingxuan (Princess Xuan): 50
B 12:43
Zhang Chansi: 39
Fang Hechuan (Fang Taifu): 37
Xia Fuyang: 35
Xi Zixing: 30
Um? ? ?
Qu Dubian blinked and looked at the favorability of Xia Fuyang and Xi Zixing again.
While he was unconscious, one jumped from 26 to 35, and the other jumped from 25 to 30.
...What's wrong with these two? Why are they suddenly so generous?
In the past few years that they have known each other, they were so stingy in giving favorability points, but why did they give more as soon as he fell into a coma? Did they finally realize that he was an important friend in their hearts?
It is really difficult to collect favorability points in the simulator. In the novels he read, the full favorability score is 100, and the favorability points of the protagonists increase rapidly as they collect them.
He is fine, with a full score of 60 for favorability, and every move up is catalyzed by the accumulation of time. He has been here for seven years, and he is still a little short of the highest score, Xiaochun.
But when the favorability is over 20, it should be a good friend, and above 30, it is important. When he was with Xia Fuyang and Xi Zixing, he could feel that they were sincere to him.
Increase! Increase more, Qu Dubian thought happily, he is not bad, others treat him well, he treats others better. He deserves others' love, and he does not treat any sincerity unfairly.
In the future, he will have to take Xi Zixing with him to observe his other royal brothers more often, so that this guy at the bottom can grow faster.
After about a quarter of an hour, Qu Dubian felt his strength slowly returning to his body.
He slowly opened his eyes.
The light in the room wasn't very glaring, but he still squinted a little uncomfortably.
Sitting beside his bed was Concubine Xuan, who was taking a nap with her head propped up. Her face looked a little haggard, as if she had been waiting for quite a while.
Qu Dubian moved his fingers and gently poked Concubine Xuan's arm with his fingertips. He hadn't eaten for three days and he didn't have much strength, so the strength he used was like a kitten scratching an itch.
Concubine Xuan suddenly opened her eyes.
Qu Duan smiled at her: "Xuan..."
Concubine Xuan immediately stood up and rushed to the door: "Imperial Physician!!"
Qu Watanabe: “…”
What a fast speed.
The imperial physician came upon hearing the news. Ye Xiaoyuan, Concubine Guo, Zhiyi... a group of people gathered in front of the bed. The sound of dogs barking was heard in Shunning Palace. Dahei squeezed in, wagging his tail anxiously, scratching the end of the bed with his paws and his chin pressed on the feet of the bipedal cub.
Then he quietly watched Doctor Yang taking Qu Dubian's pulse.
Concubine Xuan: "Xiao Qi, if you feel uncomfortable, tell the imperial physician."
Qu Duan nodded: "I'm fine, but I don't have the strength."
Ye Xiaoyuan: "Your Highness has been in a coma for three days and has only eaten rice soup and sweetened water. Of course he has no strength." His little face looked thinner.
"Come, Your Highness, sit up and take a break."
Doctor Yang placed a pillow behind him so that he could lean back and half sit comfortably.
Qu Dubian looked at his left hand. It felt a little swollen, painful, and itchy. He was injured from holding the whip.
Doctor Yang said with a smile: "Fortunately, the injury was not to the right hand, otherwise it would have delayed writing, right? Your Highness should be fine now, but you should pay attention to eating lighter foods these days, and avoid spicy and greasy foods, otherwise you may have stomach discomfort."
"Eat some rice porridge later to let your body gradually adapt."
Normally, it would be fine to eat something else, but Doctor Yang was worried that the Seventh Prince, a frequent visitor to the Imperial Hospital, would not be able to adapt.
Ye Xiaoyuan wrote it down: "Okay."
Concubine Xuan was finally relieved. "It's good that everything is fine. I'll send someone to tell Marquis Chijian's mansion so that your grandmother won't worry."
Qu Watanabe: “Yeah!”
Concubine Xuan nodded, went out to take care of the rice porridge, and then asked Xinqing to pass the message to the Marquis Chijian's Mansion.
Qu Watanabe squeezed Zhiyi's hand and said, "Sister, I'm fine! I'm fine. Xia Fuyang probably won't be able to beat me in the future."
Zhiyi was a little depressed: "Don't fight with others in the future. It hurts so much. I was scared. Bring guards with you when you go out," she whispered, "Xia Fuyang is good at fighting. You can trick him into being your thug."
She knew her brother's ability to deceive people.
"Look, Dahei is so worried that he hasn't eaten much in the past two days."
She picked up Dahei, and Dahei pressed his paw on Qu Dubian's hand and whimpered softly a few times.
Qu Dubian raised his hand and touched Dahei's ear. "Oh, our Dahei looks thinner. Sister, do you have any more snacks we made? I'll feed him two pieces."
"Yes, waiting."
Zhiyi brought some snacks, and soon the rice porridge that Concubine Xuan had cooked was ready, along with some refreshing and appetizing side dishes.
Qu Dubian mixed the side dishes into the rice porridge and ate with Dahei.
Concubine Xuan: "Someone just went to the Purple Palace to notify him. I guess His Majesty will come over soon."
When Qu Dubian heard this, he quickly finished the meal in two bites.
This has to be put on a show to get some benefits from Lao Deng.
Not long after they finished eating, a voice came from outside: "Your Majesty has arrived!"
Emperor Chongzhao hurried over and stepped into the door of Qu Dubian's bedroom: "I heard from the palace servant who delivered the message that Xiaoqi has woken up."
He looked at the bed and saw his youngest son leaning against the headboard. He was stunned for a moment when he saw him, and then he instantly became very aggrieved, with red eyes. He raised his bandaged hand that looked like a pig's hoof towards him. The wind and rain were beating on the little white flower, and he looked so pitiful and miserable:
"Dad, my son was beaten so badly!"
