"You guys...be careful."
Princess Yongle's eyes were filled with worry. She did not insist on going in by herself because she knew that if she died, these guards would be executed by her father, without a single one left alive.
She had a total of twenty guards around her. The captain of the guards planned to leave five to protect her and send the remaining fifteen into the secret realm. However, Princess Yongle stopped him and ordered, "Let five of you take the test, and leave fifteen behind... It doesn't matter if you can't pass the test. I won't blame you."
She loved her brother, but she also knew that these guards were other people's sons and brothers. If they died, someone would be sad, so she would not force them to enter the secret realm.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The captain of the guards turned around and re-selected the candidates to enter the secret realm. He himself was determined to go in, and he only needed to choose four more people. However, he underestimated the enthusiasm of the guards, and six people insisted on entering the secret realm.
"Your Highness, please let me go! I'm an orphan, I have no ties, and I've loved adventure since I was a child!"
The guard who spoke had a determined look on his face. He had been Princess Yongle's guard for five or six years. He didn't know when he started to like the princess, but he felt that every frown and smile of the princess was beautiful and charming. He was like a moth flying into the flame. Although he knew that he was not worthy of the princess, he still fell deeply in love with her. He did not expect to marry the princess. As long as he could stay by her side and share her worries, he would be satisfied.
This time when he enters the secret realm, he will definitely give it his all. Even if the Medical Saint's secret realm is a conspiracy, he will fight to the end. If the Medical Saint can give him a pill that can cure the Sixth Prince's congenital muteness, he can even give up his life and let the Medical Saint take over his body.
What he feared most was that even if he risked his life, he would not be able to get what Her Royal Highness the Princess wanted.
At this time, another guard spoke up, "Your Highness, my greatest wish in this life is to be able to enter the secret realm and venture forth. I beg Your Highness for permission!"
"So do I!"
The other guards did not have any love for Princess Yongle, but they were all ambitious people and were unwilling to live like this for the rest of their lives. There were obviously benefits in the Medical Saint Secret Realm, and they would take the initiative to go in even without the order of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Everyone knew Princess Yongle's character. If they retrieved the elixir that Her Royal Highness did not need, the princess would return it to them and might even reward them with money and property to commend their bravery.
To put it another way, even if they come out with nothing, Her Royal Highness the Princess will remember their contribution.
And if you are lucky enough to get the right medicine, not only will Her Royal Highness the Princess reward you handsomely, but even the Sixth Prince will remember this favor, and you won't have to worry about wealth and prosperity for the rest of your life!
If they accidentally die in the secret realm, it only means that it is their fate. This is the path they chose themselves and they cannot blame others.
"You...must be more careful and act within your capabilities. Don't try to be too aggressive."
Princess Yongle reminded them again that if the guards failed, she would have to stay here and see if she could buy the necessary elixir from others. Currently, there was no elixir on the market in Da Rui Kingdom that was suitable for her brother.
This time, her brother also came.
The Sixth Prince... was wearing women's clothing.
He had been raised by Consort Xian and lived in the Imperial Palace. At that time, their dressing style was quite normal, and there was no room for him to be unusual. But when he moved to the Prince's Residence at the age of fourteen, he began to wear women's clothing...
The Sixth Prince was born thin and had very fair skin. His facial features were almost exactly like those of his twin sister. Even if he wore women's clothes, there was no sense of incongruity.
He sat quietly, his eyes slightly lowered, looking elegant and dignified, and he and Princess Yongle looked like twin sisters rather than brother and sister.
In fact, he wished he were a girl.
That way, he wouldn't hear the eunuchs and palace maids mocking him behind his back: "The Sixth Prince is delicate and short, and looks more like a princess than Her Royal Highness!"
"Ha, if His Highness Yongle hadn't been thinking about him, he would have been thrown into the cold palace to fend for himself. The Emperor doesn't lack sons..."
"Yes, Her Majesty the Consort also likes the princess more."
"If the Sixth Prince were a girl..."
"Hush—I heard that the Sixth Prince practices the same technique as Princess Yongle, the 'Dream Girl Technique'."
"Oh my god, isn't the 'Dream Girl Technique' only for women to practice? The Sixth Prince... can also practice it?"
"Yes, I saw the Sixth Prince perform the "Dream Girl Technique" with my own eyes. He was even more powerful than Her Royal Highness the Princess."
…
The Sixth Prince cannot speak, but his vision and hearing are extremely sharp. Sometimes he wishes he were deaf so that he doesn't have to listen to the gossip of the outside world, but sometimes he is glad that he has not lost his hearing, because this world has not only a bad side, but also a good side. He cannot speak, but he can hear his sister's voice and knows how much his sister cares about him, and that is enough.
Princess Yongle sent the guards away, came to sit next to her brother, and said, "Zhuangzhuang, don't worry, I will definitely cure you."
Princess Yongle was named Jun Chenxi because she was the emperor's first and only daughter. The emperor was very happy at the time and named her "Chenxi", which means that she brings vitality and hope like the morning sun.
As for the Sixth Prince's name...
Because he was born with his sister, they were naturally named together. The emperor named the sixth prince Jun Chenzhuang...
Hope he gets heavier and stronger...
Furthermore, "chen" and "chen" are homophones, making them sound more like siblings.
But the Sixth Prince was really disappointing. He actually liked to wear women's clothes, and his appearance did not match the name "Chen Zhuang" at all. The Emperor became more and more disliked this son. After all, there were many princes, so one more would not make a difference.
