The emperor said, "But in this country of Darui, who would have the guts to commit murder and theft outside the palace gate?"
"Maybe it's Rui..." He didn't say the next few words. Anyway, the first person Jun Chenxi suspected in his heart was Prince Rui.
The emperor said with a grim expression, "I actually hope that Tian Miao is a despicable villain. If so, the elixir will be back in her hands. She can extort spirit stones and silver, which are only material possessions. I can give them to her as payment for treating Shen Zhuang. But if the elixir was stolen by that person, and after taking it, that person's cultivation level will be further improved and his lifespan will be extended... This will be very disadvantageous to us."
"What should I do? I have no evidence. I passed out before I even saw the attacker's face..." Jun Chenxi murmured in despair. She had originally wanted to repay the divine doctor Tian Miao, but now not only did she mess up what the doctor had asked her to do, she was also facing the worst possible outcome.
Prince Rui's strength increased dramatically after taking the Chengyuan Pill, surpassing the Chengyuan realm. He then killed the "pulse guardian" who was sleeping deep in the forbidden area of the imperial palace, and rode on the heads of the royal family to act tyrannically...
"Don't worry, Chenxi. Maybe someone else has stolen the elixir. Prince Rui is worried about his son. He just borrowed the Star-Referring Stone from the palace today. How could he have time to steal you?" said the emperor.
Jun Chenxi breathed a sigh of relief, but then his expression grew serious again. "Perhaps it was because he borrowed the Star-Guiding Stone and learned about the Chengyuan Pill from this prophetic spiritual artifact that he snatched the pill from me... When I was chatting with Tian Miao, there were only a few people gathered in the distance. They were noisy and cheering, sharing their joy with those around them. It was impossible for them to hear what we were talking about..."
The emperor was silent for a moment, then said, "Chenxi, thank goodness you are my only daughter. If my son had said that, I would have probably hit him."
Jun Chenxi asked in confusion, "Father, did I say something wrong just now?"
Why do you want to hit her?
The emperor held his forehead and said, "Nothing, are you feeling any discomfort?"
Jun Chenxi said, "Thank you for your concern, Father. I had a headache when I first woke up, but it's much better now."
The emperor said, "Well, since you are not feeling unwell, then go back to your princess's residence. I heard that your brother Shen Zhuang has been learning to speak these days. As his sister, you must stay by his side more often and teach him more so that he can communicate normally with others as soon as possible."
"Yes, father..." Jun Chenxi responded, feeling that her brain was not enough. The topic changed too quickly, from throwing the pills to talking about Jun Chenzhuang's words. Jun Chenxi heard that her father was trying to drive him away, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong with what she had just said. She was telling the truth, so what made her father unhappy?
Seeing his daughter's innocent expression, the emperor sighed deeply and explained, "After hearing you say that the Yuandan had completed its effects, I was already 90% sure that it was Prince Rui who did it. But in my heart, I still had 10% of hope that this matter had nothing to do with Prince Rui. So I kept making excuses, just to comfort you, and also to comfort myself. It was a bit self-deceptive, but in the end..."
As a result, Jun Chenxi refused to accept the comfort, and kept thinking and analyzing the situation, which made the emperor feel uncomfortable. Of course, the emperor was so angry that he wanted to beat him.
Jun Chenxi: “…”
The father and daughter looked at each other, both feeling a little embarrassed.
Jun Chenxi smiled awkwardly and said, "Father, I'll leave first. I still need to give Tian Miao an explanation..."
"Well, go ahead. Let Tianmiao name a price, and then do your best to compensate Tianmiao for her losses. In addition... it would be great if talents like this could stay in Dari Kingdom forever." The emperor mentioned it casually. He also knew that Dari Kingdom had a small temple, and it was difficult to keep those outstanding spiritual masters. However, there is a saying that goes, "A hero cannot resist the temptation of a beautiful woman." Princess Yongle, Jun Chenxi, has a virtuous character, and is gentle and bright. If Tianmiao falls in love with Princess Yongle, the emperor would not mind issuing an edict to grant her marriage.
The emperor had never met the genius doctor Tian Miao, but as early as the day when Tian Miao cured the sixth prince, the guards placed Tian Miao's portrait on the emperor's desk.
Divine Doctor Tianmiao has an ordinary appearance and his cultivation is at the early stage of Qingyuan Realm, which makes him a young talent. But Jun Chenxi is a princess, beautiful, and her cultivation is at Youyuan Realm, which is not too bad. At least the emperor thinks that this young pair should have a good impression of each other, otherwise why didn't Divine Doctor Tianmiao find someone else to help him auction the pills, but entrusted this matter to Jun Chenxi?
Also, Tian Miao cured Jun Chenzhuang...
Taking all factors into consideration, it seems like these two people are quite a good match?
Of course, this is just the emperor's personal opinion. The specific situation depends on the intentions of the two young men.
…
…
Jun Chenxi left the palace and rode quickly to the south of the city. He found that the Divine Doctor Tian Miao was not there, so he stopped a commoner and asked, "Do you know the whereabouts of the Divine Doctor?"
"I don't know. I was just looking for a miracle doctor." The commoner who spoke had a look of regret on his face. He was the shopkeeper of an inn, and his family had saved a lot of money. His son was ill a few days ago, so he took his son to get some medicine. After taking the medicine on the first day, his son's condition improved a lot, but after taking the medicine for the second time, his son began to vomit and have diarrhea, and there has been no improvement so far. The shopkeeper is quite busy, and his wife has been taking care of the child at home every day. But today, the shopkeeper heard some guests discussing the location of the free clinic of Tianmiao Miraculous Doctor, and heard many guests talking about how magical Tianmiao's medical skills were. The shopkeeper was very excited, so he asked the clerk to watch the shop. He came to the south of the city, intending to see with his own eyes the scene of Tianmiao Miraculous Doctor treating patients and saving people. If it was really effective, he would ask his wife to bring his son over. Who knew that Tianmiao was not here? The shopkeeper was very disappointed and said, "I heard that the free clinic would last for a whole morning, and now it's not even noon, and Tianmiao Miraculous Doctor is gone, which made me come here in vain."
"Maybe the miracle doctor had something urgent to do and left." Jun Chenxi said.
The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "Forget it. This kind of free diagnosis and treatment is not trustworthy. It's best to go to the pharmacy and find a regular doctor to see a doctor and buy medicine. That's the safest way."
Jun Chenxi was unconvinced and asked, "What's wrong with it being free?"
"Girl, I can tell from the first glance that you're inexperienced and too trusting..." The shopkeeper, seeing how pretty Jun Chenxi was, wanted to chat with her for a while longer. He said earnestly, "What if it's an evil cultivator disguised as a doctor treating the common people? If all the people who come to see the doctor are marked and killed by the evil cultivator, wouldn't that be disastrous? I remember a story my great-grandfather told me when I was a child. The point was, don't try to take advantage of others. Sometimes, greed can cost you your life..."
