"Is this talking about you?" Qing Qian's voice lacked the coldness and alienation of the past, and carried a barely perceptible sweetness, yet was wrapped in a barely noticeable sigh!
"You..." Yuan'er opened her eyes wide, looking at the tall and majestic figure in the dark woods who was hugging her young lady tightly, but she covered her lips because she knew it was an important matter. The lantern in her hand had already fallen to the ground when the man appeared in front of her. The candlelight in her face made the forest even more gloomy in the cold wind, and also made Yuan'er's heart jump!
"Yuan'er, I'm fine!" Rong Rong spoke softly, gently pushed away the man who was occupying her, stood up from his arms and prepared to walk towards the frightened maid!
"Where are you going again?" A dissatisfied complaint suddenly sounded in the silent forest. Then, a veil was lifted up in the faint light, followed by the rustling sound of a dress. Rong Rong was once again imprisoned in the arms of a domineering man!
"You scared her!" Rong Rong said calmly, but she raised her hand that was originally hanging by her side and gently hit him on the back. Then she turned to look at Yuan'er and ordered, "Go back and rest first!"
"No, Miss! I want to stay with you!" But Yuan'er shook her head vigorously, refusing to leave here no matter what! Even though she knew who was coming, she still couldn't bear to leave Rongrong!
"Hmph!" A light, cold snort emanated from the man's nose. A voice colder than the mountain breeze instantly echoed in this small world. "Your maidservant is truly loyal!"
Having said that, the man's eyes when he looked at Yuan'er were full of bloodthirstiness!
Rong Rong saw his intention and immediately grabbed his hands, saying anxiously, "Jingyuan, don't hurt her! She is my family too!"
Hearing Rong Rong's voice, especially the rare anxiety and worry in her tone, Qi Jingyuan immediately put away his murderous aura. He looked at the frightened Yuan'er again, and then turned his gaze to the person in his arms!
Silver-grey moonlight sprinkled through the interlaced leaves, and a few scattered rays of light fell on her face, highlighting her peerless beauty and illuminating her enchanting eyes, making Qi Jingyuan sink into her again and again. The arms around her waist tightened unconsciously, and he fiercely trapped the woman who had escaped from his arms against his chest, not allowing her any chance of escape!
"Someone come here!" A low shout was heard, and a man in black suddenly appeared in the woods!
In the blink of an eye, he was seen kneeling at Qi Jingyuan's feet, waiting for his master's orders!
"Take her back!" His eyes filled with longing stared at Rong Rong in his arms, and his tone was cold as he gave the order!
"Yes!" He responded in a low voice, and the man in black flashed behind Yuan'er in an instant. With a knife, Yuan'er's body went limp. Then he carried Yuan'er on one shoulder and walked along the mountain road towards the backyard room of Puguo Temple!
"You!" Knowing Qi Jingyuan's personality too well, Rong Rong was immediately anxious when she saw Yuan'er being taken away by his men. She suddenly pressed her hands against Qi Jingyuan's chest, as if to push him away and chase him. But before she could exert any strength, she felt a sudden tightening force at her waist. Her slightly opened red lips had already been occupied by two extremely cold thin lips...
The twists and turns of feelings spread in the hearts of both of them with this kiss. Her lips were warm and soft, with a hint of fragrance and sweetness, while his lips were hard and cold, with a toughness and plundering attitude that would not allow her to refuse. He made her retreat inch by inch, and then he marched straight into that delicate mouth, mixing her clove and dancing with him, domineeringly not allowing her to think about other people and things in front of him!
The hands that were tightly wrapped around her waist caressed her cheeks that were slightly flushed due to the intoxication of love with a confused and passionate touch. The slightly hot palms brought Rong Rong back to her senses instantly. She used her hands on his chest to slightly push away the overly intimate distance between them. Before his next attack, she cleverly lowered her head and leaned in his arms, listening to the strong heartbeat in his chest, and at the same time calming her mood that was aroused by him!
"Rong'er..." Having experienced all the torment and longing, this murmur was filled with sadness and heartache. Qi Jingyuan lowered his head and kissed her flawless white forehead carefully, never willing to let go of her in his arms!
Rong Rong clutched tightly at his shirt, regaining her composure as quickly as possible. However, her flushed cheeks betrayed her inner thoughts. Hearing his helpless cry, Rong Rong's heart trembled. A tear that had been hidden in her eyes for a long time suddenly burst out, but disappeared into his clothes the next second. She bit her lip and spoke, "Why are you here again? Don't you know that Puguo Temple is full of imperial guards? Do you hope to be captured alive like Qi Jinghan? Are you going to die?"
She tried hard to control her emotions and voice, but her voice still rose slightly when she thought of the scene that Qi Jingyuan would have to endure if he was killed. Rong Rong raised her head because of worry and anger in her heart. She looked at him in the dark night, but found that the coldness in his eyes was no longer there, and a smile of surprise was gradually climbing up the corners of his eyes and eyebrows!
"Are you worried about me, Rong'er?" Still not missing a single opportunity to touch her, Qi Jingyuan's big hands, which had returned to normal temperature, gently covered her fair cheeks, touching the incredible delicacy, while conveying his meticulous care!
He looked into her slightly moist eyes with a faint smile, and saw that there was only his figure in those pupils as dark as the night, which pleased Qi Jingyuan even more and made him laugh softly!
"Still laughing!" A pair of soft little hands immediately covered his lips. Rong Rong looked around nervously for a moment, then turned to stare at the man in front of her who was always bold and reckless. She was also worried that his laughter would be carried to the ears of the guards by the wind!
"Rong'er, I'm very happy that you are like this!" He lowered his head, leaned over and whispered in her jade-white ear. The warm breath immediately sprinkled on Rongrong's ears, making Rongrong and her slender white neck glow red, which made Qi Jingyuan in a very good mood. He gently lifted her chin with one hand, letting her only look at him all the time, so that there was only him in her eyes from beginning to end!
The fiery gaze burned her heart, making Rong Rong want to escape from the love web he had woven for her, but she forgot that the man in front of her was an extremely domineering prince. Even if she wanted to withdraw, it would be in vain without his nod!
"Why don't you look at me?" Seeing that she tried to turn her head away again and again, the smile in Qi Jingyuan's eyes disappeared, and an angry questioning voice sounded above her head, but the movements of his hands were still as gentle as ever. Without hurting her, he lifted her face again!
When their eyes met, her eyes were slightly moist but she did not shed tears, while his eyes were filled with majesty as if he was dissatisfied with her attitude at the moment!
The slender fingertips carried the magic that could easily make her lose her composure. They gradually moved from her slender neck to her slightly red lips, gently rubbing her pink lips with those dry fingertips, and growled with a hint of annoyance, "He actually kissed you, and you actually let him kiss you! Damn Emperor Yugan, that shameless lecher! He dared to touch my woman. I really should have burned down his palace back then! Damn bastard!"
Endless insults echoed in the mountains and forests. Little did she know that while listening to Qi Jingyuan's endless insults, Rong Rong's clothes on the back had already been soaked. If Commander Wu heard it, Qi Jingyuan would be in danger again!
"I am his concubine!" Before she could indulge in his love, Rong Rong immediately grabbed his right hand and stated this fact calmly and objectively!
Little did she know that this fact drove Qi Jingyuan crazy. A force so great that made her cry out in pain made her press against his chest in an instant. Before she could open her mouth, her lips were sealed by him!
Qi Jingyuan closed his eyes tightly, refusing to look at Rong Rong's always calm eyes. At the same time, he bit her lips hard with punishment, not letting her hateful little mouth have the chance to spit out the facts that would make him vomit blood!
One hand tightly embraced her waist, as if he wanted to crush her and embed her into his bones, and the other hand gently supported the back of her head to prevent her neck from getting sore from looking up. Although he was furious, Qi Jingyuan still inadvertently showed his tenderness and consideration!
"Rong'er, don't say that! You know what I care about the most, and what I regret the most, so why do you still say such things? Considering how hard I'm trying, don't say that again!" He bit her delicate lips gently, and their lips touched. Qi Jingyuan kept murmuring against her lips. The pleading tone made Rong Rong's heart tremble. The hands that were against his chest gradually passed through his armpits and pressed against his back. With a hint of indulgence, she tightly grabbed the clothes on his back, not wanting to let go!
"Rong'er, I want you! I want you to be my Crown Princess!" Feeling the changes in Rong Rong, Qi Jingyuan was delighted and continued to speak!
After he finished speaking, his cunning tongue had already slipped into her mouth. Without giving her any time to think, he devoured all her reason and thoughts with the most passionate kiss!
"Rong'er... Rong'er..." The long sigh echoed in the hearts of the two for a long time. Qi Jingyuan kept calling out to the person who was tightly held in his arms. Although Rong Rong did not respond, she took the initiative to meet his passionate kiss and let him do whatever he wanted on her lips!
"Come back to Northern Qi with me!" After finally waiting for her to leave the filthy palace and get away from the filthy Yugan Emperor, Qi Jingyuan's only thought at this moment was to take her away from this land full of conspiracy! Especially after tasting her beauty, he was unwilling to let go, not even if he died!
Hearing his request, Rong Rong couldn't help but shudder all over, and immediately woke up from the passion of love. She stood up from his arms, gently wrapped her arms around his waist, but with a trace of sadness in her eyes, she stared at his handsome face and said with difficulty, "No!"
After she finished speaking, Rong Rong felt a soreness in her nose, but she would not allow herself to cry in front of him, so she bit her lips tightly, forcing back the tears that were about to burst out, and looked at him with slightly wet eyes, but the determination in her eyes was not something that anyone could change!
"Do you want to continue to make me angry? Do you think that pervert will let you go when you return to the palace this time? Do you think my people will rescue you in time every time?" Qi Jingyuan roared with his eyes blazing, holding her shoulders with his hands instead!
Looking at his handsome face that was full of life because of anger, Rong Rong raised her hand and gently stroked the face that she had imagined in her heart more than ten thousand times. There was a deep and strong love in her eyes, but the persistence in her heart would not change. With a hint of cruelty, she said, "I know everything you have done! But I can't abandon the Rong family, I can't abandon my people! Do I have to sacrifice the lives of the entire Rong family for my own happiness? Jingyuan, I can't do it! Even if I want to die and go back to Northern Qi with you, reality won't allow me to do so! I will not be a dull person. I have my responsibilities, which are the responsibilities that the eldest daughter of the Rong family must shoulder!"
Listening to her gentle voice slowly ringing out in the dark night, Qi Jingyuan's mind was circling with her words "I want to go back to Northern Qi with you so much", and his heart was filled with a hint of sweetness!
But after listening to her analysis, he frowned!
However, just as his brows were furrowed, they were smoothed by a small hand. At the same time, her voice rang in his ears, "Don't frown! I don't like seeing you frown! When you're not frowning, you look like a graceful and elegant young man, but when you frown, the anger on your face emerges!"
Having said that, Rong Rong didn't think so in her heart. Staring at Qi Jingyuan who smiled because of her words, Rong Rong felt a little sad and couldn't help thinking that if she hadn't met her, Qi Jingyuan would probably never know what it felt like to frown in his life!
"If I solve the Rong family's problem, will you nod and agree to go back to Beiqi with me?" Qi Jingyuan let her warm palm close to his face. He was greedy for the warmth and fragrance of her palm. He was reluctant to press a kiss on her palm and then asked!
"You..." A tingling sensation in the palm of her hand made Rong Rong clench her right hand immediately. She stopped touching the man casually, for fear that he would find another opportunity to kiss her. However, she was also shocked by his words and didn't understand what Qi Jingyuan was going to do!
Qi Jingyuan, however, pressed her head down and let her lean on his chest. His eyes, gazing into the darkness, were instantly filled with a bloodthirsty light, but his tone was gentle and soothing. "You don't want to plunge the Rong family into an irretrievable situation because of you, and I don't want to see you sacrifice yourself for the Rong family! Rong'er, I'm a man. I can't just sit there and watch my woman surrounded by hungry wolves and remain indifferent!"
At the end, Qi Jingyuan almost gnashed his teeth as he finished the last few words. In his mind, he could still imagine the deadly look on Emperor Yugan's face as he stared at Rong Rong. A ball of anger rose in his heart, but he was reluctant to vent it on Rong Rong, so he could only vent his anger by scolding Emperor Yugan!
But hearing his tone, Rong Rong raised her head with concern, her eyes full of worry for him. With a hint of urgency, she said, "Don't put yourself in danger because of me! Up to now, the emperor hasn't forced me to do anything! Don't worry, even if it comes to the last resort, I can still protect myself!"
"Self-protection? Taking Nie Huaiyuan's medicine, is this also self-protection?" Unexpectedly, Qi Jingyuan sneered!
A mountain breeze blew by at this moment. Qi Jingyuan looked down and saw that the cloak on Rong Rong's shoulders had fallen to the ground because of the tug between the two of them just now. He bent down to pick it up, shook off the dust on it, and carefully put it on her shoulders. Then he took her into his arms again and let her absorb the warmth from his body!
"Rong'er, do you think that once a man has the intention to get you, he will still care whether you are sick or not? What's more, your appearance is so dazzling that Emperor Yugan must be still secretly happy that he can meet you! But I don't allow other men to get involved with you. You deserve better, not that bastard!" Qi Jingyuan couldn't help but curse Emperor Yugan again. I'm afraid this will become Qi Jingyuan's catchphrase in the future!
But his words caused Rong Rong to chuckle softly. She nestled in his warm embrace and jokingly asked, "You mean, you are better?"
How could someone as smart as Rong Rong not understand the meaning of Qi Jingyuan's words?
"Is there anyone better than me? There are no concubines in the prince's mansion so far, just waiting for you to come back!" The strength in his hands increased slightly. Qi Jingyuan raised his eyebrows because of Rong Rong's question, and replied seriously with dissatisfaction in his eyes!
But this time, it was Rong Rong who put on a stern face. There was a trace of pain in her eyes, her red lips were slightly pouting, and her eyes were no longer looking at Qi Jingyuan. "Then how do you explain Hai Tian? The marriage between the Crown Prince of Northern Qi and the Prince of Hai's Mansion in Western Chu has spread throughout the four countries. Are you going to deny the existence of Hai Tian?" Rong Rong's heart felt like being pricked by needles, and her face turned pale instantly. She was a little angry and didn't want Qi Jingyuan to hug her!
"Don't be angry!" Qi Jingyuan, greedy for the scent on her body, hugged her tightly, and then lowered his head to whisper in her ear, "If it weren't for you, why would I name that shrew!"
"What do you mean?" Rong Rong raised her head in confusion and asked, but Qi Jingyuan seized the opportunity!
He didn't answer her question immediately, but savored her taste again and again, until she glared at him with her eyes. Only then did he let go of her lips with an unsatisfied look and slowly said, "Hai Tian has a vicious mind, outstanding appearance, and a distinguished family background. If she is chosen by Emperor Yugan to join the harem, she will be your greatest rival! Especially since the Rong family is only an imperial merchant. They have no officials in the court and no military power. If you meet her in the harem, I'm afraid you will only be bullied! What's more, with Hai Tian's conditions, I'm afraid Emperor Yugan will definitely allow her a rank no lower than that of a noble concubine! When the time comes, if you two are of the same rank, it's natural to compare your family backgrounds! Do you think the Rong family can compare with the Sea Palace? I'm afraid that you will be bullied by that shrew, so I just took her back to Northern Qi!"
A hot tear slid down her cheek and dripped into his neck, burning Qi Jingyuan's heart. However, he also knew that she would not show weakness easily and would only show such tenderness in front of him. He put his arms around her waist, hugged her gently, and patiently let her calm down in his arms!
"Rong'er, don't be sad. I never even looked at that shrew! And I won't let her become the Crown Princess!" Patting her back lightly, Qi Jingyuan rested his chin lightly on the top of Rong Rong's head and spoke calmly!
But Rong Rong shook her head and looked up at his eyes without regrets. With a hint of determination, she said, "Perhaps I shouldn't have saved you back then! If we hadn't met, you would still be the high and mighty Crown Prince of Northern Qi, and I would have entered the palace as a concubine. We would never have met, and I wouldn't have let you sacrifice yourself for me like this!"
Hearing this, Qi Jingyuan put away the anger in his eyes and spoke with piety, "Silly girl, if you hadn't saved me back then, I'm afraid the world would have long since lost the Crown Prince of Northern Qi! Moreover, even if you and I had no previous encounters, I would definitely still come to Western Chu. Seeing you as the Imperial Concubine in the palace, given our fate, I'm afraid things would still develop like this! So, Rong'er, don't be sad, and don't cry! Don't forget, without you, there would be no me!"
After he finished speaking, Qi Jingyuan slowly lowered his head and wiped away the tears on her face with a kiss of infinite cherishment. He took over her bitterness and only hoped to leave her with sweetness!
"You should leave!" Looking down the mountain from here, one could still see the torches blazing brightly, lighting up the entire foothills. Even at this late hour, Commander Wu had deployed patrolling Imperial Guards for the safety of Puguo Nunnery! It was only because Puguo Nunnery was a nunnery, and because Concubine Rong Xian and Concubine Rong lived in the backyard wing rooms, that they hadn't rashly sent troops to guard it. Otherwise, Qi Jingyuan would have been trapped by now!
"They can't catch me!" But Qi Jingyuan was addicted to kissing her. Small kisses kept falling on her face and cheeks. He even boldly held her sensitive earlobe in his mouth and deliberately teased it with the tip of his tongue!
A shudder suddenly arose in her heart, and Rong Rong's body softened. She could not help but lean on Qi Jingyuan to stand, and covered her ears with her hands to reject Qi Jingyuan's deliberate teasing!
Seeing her shy and charming appearance, Qi Jingyuan was overjoyed. However, he did not embarrass her again. Instead, he took her hand and walked along the mountain path to the top of the mountain. "The night is very beautiful tonight. Let's go enjoy the moon!"
"But you should leave!" But Rong Rong was concerned about his safety and always thought that now was not a good time to appreciate the moon!
"It's okay! I doubt those idiots could find me!" But the man holding her hand was extremely arrogant, but a gentle smile appeared on his face as he looked at the road ahead...
In Neptune's Mansion...
"Your Highness, they're back!" The moon was shining brightly in the sky, and Hai Quan took Hai Chenxi to sit in the courtyard of the study to drink tea and admire the moon!
"Let him in!" Hai Chenxi put down the teacup in his hand and whispered to the butler!
"Yes!" The butler walked out of the yard as he was told, and soon he led in a seriously injured man!
"Your humble servant greets His Majesty the Prince and the Duke!" The man was dressed in black and had sword wounds all over his body. The veil on his face was also removed, revealing his scratched face!
Hai Quan withdrew his gaze from the moon, glanced at the person kneeling before him, and asked calmly, "How is the matter going? Have you found out Qi Jingyuan's whereabouts in Western Chu?"
Hearing Hai Quan's question, the man in black lowered his head even lower, but he could only bite the bullet and say, "I failed in my duty and was accidentally discovered by the Northern Qi prince and lost him!"
Hai Chenxi looked at the man in black with a guilty look on his face, a sneer flashed in his eyes, then he picked up the teacup and took a sip, but did not speak!
Hai Quanze remained silent for a long moment before he spoke slowly, "Lost? When did the guards of my Sea Palace become so useless? They even lost a foreign prince who wasn't familiar with the terrain of Western Chu! And now you've returned covered in wounds, are you trying to gain my sympathy?"
Hai Quan's voice was like a gentle spring breeze, always retaining his usual refined demeanor. However, when it fell into the guard's ears, it made his heart tighten. He immediately knelt on both knees instead of one, kowtowed, and swore, "Your Highness, please give me one more chance. I will definitely find out the whereabouts of the Northern Qi Crown Prince!"
"You have come back in this state, so I guess all your subordinates have gone and never returned! How can you follow Qi Jingyuan without anyone under your command? Do you really think that Qi Jingyuan is a good-for-nothing like you guys?" At this time, Hai Chenxi spoke with a smile on his face!
It was not difficult to hear from his words that he and Neptune had probably known about this matter for a long time, but this guard was so useless. The master already knew the whole story, but he had delayed returning until now!
"Butler!" Without waiting for the guard to beg for mercy again, Hai Chenxi called the butler in a deep voice, and then gave the butler a wink. The butler waved his hand, and the two guards who were originally guarding the gate of the courtyard immediately walked in. One of them quickly blocked the mouth of the injured guard, and then the two of them carried the guard out of the yard quickly!
"Chenxi! Father hopes that you can assist father with all your strength when facing major issues, instead of fighting with your eldest brother and others!" The King of the Sea let his younger son deal with the people of his elder son, but he just sighed lightly and turned to Hai Chenxi with a pleading look, hoping that he would understand the priorities of the matter!
Hai Chenxi, however, showed no sign of alarm at Hai Quan's rebuke. As casual as he was, he continued to sip his tea and admire the moon. After a moment, he remembered that the Sea King was speaking to him, and he said perfunctorily, "Father is right! It's just that the Crown Prince's men are too weak! They can't even handle such a simple matter. If we keep them, I'm afraid they will become a burden to the Sea King's Palace in the future. It's better to take this opportunity to execute them! Father, what do you say?"
Hai Quan heard Hai Chenxi's explanation and thought it made sense, so he nodded. After a moment's contemplation, he spoke again, "This time, Yue'er's men are truly unworthy of their place! They even lost the person they were tracking!"
Hearing this, a sneer flashed across Hai Chenxi's eyes. He was afraid that Hai Yue was furious at this moment!
However, this time, Hai Yue had interfered. He had already selected people to follow Qi Jingyuan according to his father's wishes, but he didn't expect Hai Yue to be in a hurry to show off, so he temporarily replaced them with his people!
However, they did not expect that these people were discovered by Qi Jingyuan from the very beginning. Qi Jingyuan took advantage of the situation and asked the guards to pretend to be him to lure Haiyue's people to run around in the capital, and even took advantage of the night to launch a surprise attack on Haiyue's people!
Such a thing is so shameful. Even if all these people died, the Sea King's Palace would not come forward, let alone confront Qi Jingyuan. Otherwise, once the two sides confronted each other, the Sea King's Palace would be the one to suffer!
"Chenxi, do you know where Qi Jingyuan is now?" Having lost the clue, Hai Quan naturally had no idea of Qi Jingyuan's whereabouts. He asked Hai Chenxi with a glimmer of hope!
"I don't know! Since the Crown Prince has full authority now, I won't interfere!" Hai Chenxi stretched and yawned, then stood up and bowed to Hai Quan, saying, "It's getting late, father, you should go back and rest as soon as possible! I'll take my leave!"
As he spoke, Hai Chenxi left the yard in a very good mood!
"Your Highness!" Seeing that the prince was so unwilling to share the burden with Your Highness, the housekeeper spoke with some heartache for Hai Quan!
"Alas, this child is still blaming me!" With a light sigh, a trace of sadness flashed across the eyes of the Sea King, and then covered with a warm light, making it impossible to detect the change in his mind!
"Assign more people to Yue'er! There's a rift between the brothers, and I can't just watch Yue'er being suppressed by Chenxi all the time!" The tranquility of the Sea Palace is most important to Hai Quan right now. Only when there's harmony within the palace can he focus on his own affairs! Furthermore, he doesn't want to see his sons fighting before he's accomplished his great cause!
"Yes, Your Highness!" The butler took note of Hai Quan's instructions, but did not do it immediately. Instead, he stayed by Hai Quan's side diligently, serving his master!
"Forget it, I'll go see Yue'er myself! I still have things to tell him to do!" Unexpectedly, Hai Quan thought for a moment, then stood up and led the housekeeper out of the yard!
Rong Mansion!
After several days of practice, the little ghost that was haunting the Jingxin Residence in Rong Mansion was finally subdued!
Eunuch Yu looked at Master Jiuxuan who ordered the Taoist nun to put away the utensils, but he could not figure out anything. He just felt that Master Jiuxuan had been performing Taoist magic in Jingxinju for six days and six nights, and only finished work late at night today!
Seeing the slightly pale face of Nun Jiuxuan, Eunuch Yu stepped forward with a shy smile and said, "Nun, you have worked hard. I wonder if you have subdued this little ghost?"
Nun Jiuxuan took a sip of the hot tea offered by her apprentice, then glanced coldly at Eunuch Yu. She then picked up the bronze mirror she used for her rituals from the table and said coldly, "If you don't believe me, you can just look directly into this bronze mirror! However, the little ghost in this bronze mirror is very powerful. Be careful not to be frightened by it and turn into a living dead!"
Master Jiuxuan spoke in a calm tone and with a solemn expression. Although she was not polite to Eunuch Yu, she was well-known and was the person named by Taoist Yu. Even if Eunuch Yu had doubts in his heart, he would not dare to joke with his own life!
Then he smiled and said, "Master, you are serious! How could I not believe you?" As he spoke, Eunuch Yu couldn't help but take a few steps back, gradually widening the distance between himself and Master Jiuxuan!
"Master!" But at this moment, Rong Yunhe came out from the inner room. Seeing Master Jiuxuan, his face became even more serious. He immediately said, "Master, the little ghost has been eliminated, why hasn't Grandmother woken up yet?"
Seeing Rong Yunhe's anxious expression, Eunuch Yu's heart tightened. The Emperor was waiting for good news in the palace, hoping that if Old Lady Chen woke up, he could take Concubine Rong back. But now Old Lady Chen was still in a coma. It was really strange! Or was this just Rong Yunhe's nonsense?
"Mr. Rong, I will go see the old lady!" Eunuch Yu reported to Rong Yunhe, and then led the imperial physician guarding outside the courtyard into the inner room!
But sure enough, I saw Old Lady Chen lying on the bed and sleeping as usual!
"Hurry, hurry, take the old lady's pulse! See if there is anything wrong with the old lady!" He immediately ordered the imperial doctors to diagnose the old lady Chen. Eunuch Yu stood by the bed waiting for the result. He couldn't help but feel anxious. If he brought back news that disappointed the emperor again, he was afraid that the emperor would eat him alive!
At this time, Rong Yunhe also walked in with Master Jiuxuan!
Nun Jiuxuan glanced at the seven or eight imperial physicians surrounding Old Lady Chen, her brows furrowed slightly, and she spoke coldly, "The little ghost in the Old Lady's body has just been taken away, and her body is already weak. How dare you surround her and defame her sick body with your filthy air? Aren't you afraid that her illness will only get worse?"
Hearing the voice of Master Jiuxuan, the hands of the imperial physicians who were taking the pulse paused slightly, but they also knew that Master Jiuxuan was not only highly versed in Taoism, but also had top-notch medical skills. Even if they wanted to show off their authority as imperial physicians in front of her, she was a nun and did not care about such worldly prestige at all!
The imperial doctors were depressed for a moment and could only obey Master Jiuxuan's words. The head of the Imperial Hospital stood by the bed to check the pulse of Old Lady Chen!
Master Jiuxuan herself was standing at a distance, waiting for the result from the head of the Imperial Hospital!
"Strange, the old lady's pulse is exactly the same as when we diagnosed her before!" The head of the Imperial Hospital carefully felt Old Lady Chen's pulse for half an incense stick, but he shook his head in confusion! He couldn't help but think to himself, if there was a ghost in the old lady's body, now that the ghost was gone, she should have woken up like an ordinary person, but why was she still like this, and her pulse was exactly the same as before? It was really too strange!
"Master, why don't you come and take a look!" Seeing that the head of the Imperial Hospital really couldn't figure out what was going on, Eunuch Yu had no choice but to ask Master Jiuxuan to come!
Upon hearing this, Master Jiuxuan glanced at the head of the Imperial Hospital indifferently. Seeing that he had left the bedside, she stepped forward, sat down beside the bed, stretched out her hand and gently placed it on the wrist of Old Lady Chen, carefully feeling her pulse!
Rong Yunhe stood behind Master Jiuxuan, his face full of worry, and his eyes were filled with worry for his grandmother!
All this fell into Eunuch Yu's eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh. It was really one thing after another!
Everything was going smoothly for the Rong family in the past, but now the old lady is bedridden. What is even more worrying is that they still cannot find out the reason for her illness!
I saw that Master Jiuxuan took more than a cup of tea to take the pulse, and as time went by, the expression on Master Jiuxuan's face became more and more solemn. She let go of her hand that was taking the pulse, stretched out her hand to gently pry open Old Lady Chen's eyes and observed them carefully, and finally withdrew her hand and stood up!
"Master, my grandmother..." This time, it was Rong Yunhe who spoke first. He rushed to the bedside, carefully put Old Lady Chen's arm into the quilt, and asked with deep concern in his eyes!
"Let's talk outside!" Unexpectedly, Master Jiuxuan sighed lightly, with a heavy expression on her brows, and then turned and left the inner room!
"Master, is there anything wrong with the old lady?" Everyone left the inner room, and even Eunuch Yu asked anxiously!
Nun Jiuxuan glanced at Eunuch Yu, then fixed her gaze on Rong Yunhe and spoke slowly, "The old lady is fine now! Believe it or not, the imperial physician has already diagnosed it!"
Hearing this, Eunuch Yu immediately looked at the head of the Imperial Hospital standing beside him. Seeing him nod at him, he looked at Master Jiuxuan again, wondering what she had discovered!
"Since grandma is no longer in danger, why is there no sign of her waking up after such a long time?" Rong Yunhe is not a doctor, so he naturally will not discuss these medical matters. The only thing he is worried about is why his grandma has not woken up yet!
"The old lady has been troubled by the little ghost these days. Fortunately, the old lady is a person with a strong mind, so she was not disturbed by the little ghost, and just appeared in a sleeping state! But even so, it is extremely exhausting! The old lady has not woken up yet because her mind is overly exhausted, and the little ghost has disturbed her three souls and seven spirits. As a result, the old lady's body is not seriously injured, but her mind has been damaged! She must be given time to recover slowly!" Master Jiuxuan looked at the people in the room and calmly stated the reason why the old lady Chen was in a coma. The Buddhist and Taoist teachings mixed in it made everyone present confused!
"Then according to what the nun said, the old lady knows that she will be able to wake up after sleeping for a few more days?" Eunuch Yu was secretly anxious, but he didn't quite understand the mysteries of Taoism, so he could only ask!

"Seventy-seven days!" Master Jiuxuan slowly uttered these six words, which immediately made Rong Yunhe frown, while Eunuch Yu opened his mouth wide!
