The global chaos seemed to ignite instantly, with everyone in the palace wanting nothing more than to kill their opponents, while the Prince Yong's mansion was much happier.
At this moment, Zhao Shu was lying in bed, unaware of where Xiao Zhu Zi had temporarily found the Taoist priests to perform rituals. Various talismans were flying everywhere, and the Taoist priests were solemnly talking about water and soil, constellations, and the Eight Characters. Zhao Shu couldn't understand a single word. She had read cultivation novels before, but now that she had actually seen Taoist priests, she felt that the novels were all lies.
When Emperor Mingde and Emperor Yide arrived, they saw the Taoist priests performing a lively ritual, throwing handfuls of cinnabar onto the fire, making the entire courtyard filled with smoke.
Prince Yong stood at the door with a devout expression, as if he could truly communicate with the Jade Emperor, which was truly inexplicable.
"Nineteenth brother, what's this?" Emperor Mingde asked, pinching his nose. He didn't know what Shi had added to the water, but he sprayed it as soon as he came in, saying it was holy water to ward off evil. He didn't know if it could actually ward off evil, but it certainly made his nose tingle.
Prince Yong bowed to him before replying, "Ah Jun's injury just won't heal. The imperial physicians all say they can't do anything about it, so they have to look for folk remedies, which I've heard are very effective."
"It seems the imperial physician hasn't come to see you yet," Yide interjected.
Actually, they had come to see him, but the Empress Dowager said that if he couldn't be cured, he would be beheaded. So the imperial physicians were very busy. Whenever it was mentioned that Prince Yong's mansion had invited imperial physicians, everyone claimed that their skills were not good enough and their medical skills were not high.
That's the effect we wanted. Bi Qiao made a scene on behalf of Prince Yong's mansion, and then they let it go. Now the Imperial Physician has gone to Shu, while Physician Peng is in Jiangnan. Physician Zhou is naturally helping Zhao Shu cover it up, so no one can find out.
Emperor Mingde frowned upon hearing Prince Yong's words. He had no faith in Taoist priests whatsoever. The previous emperor had lost his throne after cultivating immortality, and more importantly, he had lived a life that was neither human nor ghost. He took this as a warning and never believed in ghosts or gods. He believed that people should live as long as they could, and that no one was immortal. There was no such thing as immortality in this world.
"I've seen it. Everyone says that firearms are powerful and contain poison. There is currently no antidote. I've heard that Taoist priests can refine elixirs, which I think might be effective. We might as well give it a try."
"Where is A-Jun? I'll go see her." Emperor Mingde didn't want to listen to what Prince Yong said about the Taoist priests. They could even make elixirs? The founding emperor of the previous dynasty died in his later years from taking too many elixirs. If these Taoist priests hadn't just been performing rituals and hadn't mentioned taking elixirs of immortality, he would have barely managed to keep them all out of prison.
Prince Yong pointed to the smoky room and said, "Inside, I heard they are inviting Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun. Would you like to go and take a look, Your Majesty?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Mingde could no longer contain his anger. "Stop, stop, stop! What kind of deity are you inviting? What kind of deity are you inviting? Get out of my sight!"
The prince immediately lost his temper, but Yongwang was not angry. He didn't even show any embarrassment and quickly ordered the prince to leave. He did not show any disrespect to Emperor Mingde. Emperor Mingde was very satisfied with this attitude. After all, he was going to lead the army. If anyone dared to show him the slightest disrespect at this time, he would definitely give the opportunity to someone else without hesitation.
The Taoist priests left quickly. As soon as they left, a basin of blood was brought out of the room, like a woman having postpartum hemorrhage. "Your Highness, Your Highness, something terrible has happened! The princess is vomiting blood again, and her wounds are bleeding uncontrollably. What should we do?"
The bleeding started as soon as the Taoist priest left, and it was so terrifying. A strong smell of blood wafted over, and Emperor Mingde actually thought that the Taoist priest's exorcising holy water smelled better.
"What happened? Didn't it stop just now?" Prince Yong asked anxiously, his tongue tied in knots.
Covered in blood, Bi Qiao cried, "This servant doesn't know either! Where is the Taoist priest? Where is the Taoist priest? Where did the Taoist priest go? Is the princess beyond saving? No, no, no! Your Highness, this servant will go and fetch the imperial physician! Today we're going to tear down the Imperial Hospital!"
"Go quickly, go quickly." Prince Yong was so anxious that he paced back and forth, not knowing what to do. However, even so, he did not blame Emperor Mingde, but was just worried.
Emperor Mingde felt a little embarrassed and instructed Liang Yunsi to personally fetch the imperial physician. He patted Prince Yong on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Ajun will be fine."
"Yes." Prince Yong nodded obediently, looking like a good younger brother.
Yi De glanced around at the surrounding furnishings and the slowly dissipating smoke, a slight smile playing on her lips, and said, "Zi Yi, I'll go see A Jun."
Zhao Shu is not young now, and Prince Yong has not entered her room, so Emperor Mingde naturally will not either. "Alright, go ahead and comfort the child. She will definitely get better."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I know what to do." Yi De gave him a reassuring look, and then, supported by a palace maid, stepped into Zhao Shu's room.
As soon as Yide entered the room, he felt dizzy and saw one ghostly figure after another. They were all dressed in white with long hair and red tongues, and their eyes bulged out as if they wanted to eat people. They were extremely terrifying.
"Senior sister, you've come to see me?" It seemed that she heard Jiang Ying's voice. How could that be? How could she hear Jiang Ying's voice? Jiang Ying had died long ago, but the voice just now was so clear. It was clearly Jiang Ying's voice.
Suddenly, a grotesque face lunged at her, blood dripping from the corner of its mouth, its long, disheveled hair, bulging eyes, and long bloodstains at the corners of its eyes. Most importantly, it was Jiang Ying's face!
"Senior sister, it's been so long since I've seen you. How have you been all these years? I've been waiting for you at the Bridge of Helplessness for so long, just wanting to ask if you've forgotten what you said to me back then? You said I was your junior sister, that you would protect me, and that you would never hurt me. Senior sister, have you forgotten? But I haven't forgotten!"
Yi De clutched her head and screamed, "Ah!" "You're the one who wronged me! You wronged me first!"
At her scream, Emperor Mingde rushed in, "Aqing, Aqing, what's wrong, Aqing?" But she couldn't hear him, and kept saying that you were the one who apologized to me first.
