Lan Zhi: “…”
A soldier said, "Young lady, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now in your care. Please take him back to the palace."
After saying that, he turned around and ran away without giving Lan Zhi a chance to refuse.
Lan Zhi was stunned.
My goodness, just leave Yuan Zhan here?
However, he was not completely abandoned, because there were still two men with sad faces guarding Yuan Zhan on his left and right.
"Why don't you two run?"
The one on the left smiled bitterly: "We two are the imperial physicians. We are here to treat the Crown Prince on the orders of the Fourth Prince. Wherever the Crown Prince goes, we will go."
"Yeah..." The one on the right sighed deeply, because he realized that His Royal Highness's health was too poor. He used ordinary herbs, but they had no effect. He also used herbs containing spiritual energy, but His Royal Highness's body was like a colander, unable to absorb the medicinal power...
How to treat this?
This was the first time the two imperial doctors had encountered such a situation. They were so depressed that they even had a few more white hairs.
"Carry...carry this prince back!" Yuan Zhan said weakly. Although he was exhausted from the fever, he was still conscious and knew where he was.
"Prince, are you okay?" Lan Zhi leaned over and asked.
Yuan Zhan lazily raised his eyelids and glanced at her before replying, "Not good. Carry me into the barracks and I'll be fine."
Lan Zhi reached out and tucked the corner of his quilt, then secretly stuffed the Gu Spirit inside. She said, "I'm afraid that won't work. The military camp won't let me in."
Yuan Zhan said indifferently, "Miss Lanzhi, men and women should not touch each other. Please respect yourself and don't get too close to this prince."
"I'm...I'm sorry..." Lan Zhi took a few steps back, looking like she had done something wrong, and apologized sincerely: "I shouldn't have touched your quilt."
"Carry me back and I will forgive you." Yuan Zhan said.
Lan Zhi shook her head silently, indicating that she couldn't do it.
"You are so useless. Get out of here and stay away from me." Yuan Zhan said with disgust.
After saying that, he pursed his lips, as if he had thought of something, and the expression on his face suddenly became ugly.
Yuan Zhan's hand trembled as he reached out from under the quilt. He slapped himself with great effort and cursed, "Damn it! Who told you to swear? You're not a gentleman at all! You deserve a beating!"
Lan Zhi: “…”
The two imperial doctors were stunned.
Has the prince... been burned into a fool?
No, that’s not right. The prince speaks clearly and has no problem with logical thinking. He doesn’t look like a fool, but more like... there is an extra soul in his body?
Is that why the behavior is so divisive?
The two imperial physicians looked at each other with serious expressions, and felt that the Crown Prince's condition had become more serious.
Lan Zhi's expression was also very solemn.
Because she discovered that as soon as the Gu Spirit crawled into Yuan Zhan's body, it transmitted the emotion of "pain" to her, and then lost contact with Lan Zhi. It must have died...
What's going on?
Yuan Zhan's body temperature was too high, burning the Gu spirit to death?
This shouldn't be the case. It's a half-real, half-virtual Gu spirit that isn't afraid of extreme heat or severe cold. How could it die so quickly?
Could it be that Prince Rui left some kind of protective measure on Yuan Zhan?
Lan Zhi decided to give it another try, so while the imperial doctors were not paying attention, she flicked her fingers and accurately sent several Gu spirits to the side of Yuan Zhan's neck.
After crawling into Yuan Zhan's body, the Gu spirits died quickly. However, this time, before dying, they tried to convey a message to Lan Zhi: Blood... blood is poisonous...
Yuan Zhan’s blood is poisonous?
But he is clearly just an ordinary person who is powerless...
Lan Zhi originally wanted to take advantage of Prince Rui's absence to torture Yuan Zhan with the Gu Ling for a few days and then take the Gu Ling back. However, Yuan Zhan's blood was not suitable for the Gu Ling to survive, and instead it poisoned the Gu Ling to death!
Lan Zhi was in a very bad mood.
…
The other side.
The emperor was also in a bad mood.
He never imagined that these stargazers he hired were useful in normal times, but were of no use at all in big things.
A group of astrologers surrounded Jun Qingguo, not only did they figure out everything, but they also ended up crippling their own people.
The five stargazers all suffered backlash to varying degrees. Some broke legs, some broke arms, some had headaches, some became mute, and some were blinded...
The rest of the stargazers were still healthy, but they were too frightened to continue their calculations.
"It hurts so much, it hurts so much..." The stargazer with a broken leg was the most seriously injured. The flesh and blood below the knees of both legs were constantly corroded by the power of Heaven. His shoes and socks turned to ashes, and his flesh and blood shrank and disappeared bit by bit, revealing his white bones, which made people's scalp numb.
"Someone, call the imperial physician!"
The emperor's face was relatively calm, but he was terrified in his heart. The miserable condition of the astrologers reminded him of another person.
The emperor asked, "Did Shangguan Jianxing become blind before because he saw something he shouldn't have seen?"
"This... might be the case."
"Where are Shangguan Jianxing and the others?"
One of the astrologers replied, "Your Majesty, you once sent two people to look after him, but after a few days, he said he didn't want to be idle and planned to go out and find a way to restore his eyesight, and then he left."
The emperor said, "You used the Fourth Prince as a medium to peer into the ways of Heaven, yet you didn't see anything and were injured or disabled. But Shangguan Jianxing had no medium at that time and was blind... Doesn't this mean he is more powerful than all of you?"
Astrologers: "..." As expected of the Emperor, he actually thought of this. We hadn't even considered this! !
An uninjured astrologer spoke up, "We didn't suffer backlash before because our stargazing was shielded by the Heavenly Dao, preventing us from touching the taboo. Now, we're following the causal connection between the Fourth Prince and Ge, forcibly breaking through the Heavenly Dao's constraints and exploring the taboo, and we'll naturally be punished. So, Master Shangguan is indeed far more powerful than us. He touched the taboo as early as the day the ferocious beast was born."
Hearing this, the emperor looked at him with a meaningful look in his eyes, but said nothing more.
The Fourth Prince, Jun Qingguo, asked bluntly, "Then why did five of the stargazers suffer from the backlash of the heavens during this stargazing, while the rest of you were still fine?"
"Ahem..." The stargazer who was speaking showed an awkward look on his face as he explained, "I... my senses are quite sharp. When I realized I was about to touch a taboo, I immediately stopped observing the stars, so..."
In other words, when he discovered danger, he ran away on the spot.
Seeing that he was sensible, the Heavenly Dao did not pursue him to retaliate.
The other uninjured stargazers, like him, felt strong palpitations while stargazing and stopped in time.
As for the five injured ones, they were all honest people who were brave enough to take on the taboos...
Jun Qingguo: "..."
As they were talking, the imperial doctors had already arrived. They all knew spells such as "Spring Bringing Technique" and "Sleeping Pain Relief Technique" for treatment, but the astrologers were suffering from heaven's punishment and could not receive any treatment at all.
Even the "sleeping pain relief technique" doesn't work on them.
Four stargazers cried out in pain until their throats became hoarse and they could not utter a single sound. Another stargazer was rendered mute as a divine punishment, and the skin on his neck oozed profuse blood. People around him thought he was dead, but he was still alive after covering his neck and twitching on the ground for a long time.
