After Yunxi finished taking the pulse, Chen Jingshu hurriedly urged the two of them to hurry up.
"Look at me, I'm perfectly fine. You should go check on Xiao'er quickly, so I can feel more at ease."
Seeing that the two did not move, Chen Jingshu urged them again.
"Alright, alright, let's go see Xiao'er. I'll have the head chef make you some of your favorite dishes. You can eat first."
"Okay, you guys go ahead."
This matter will always be a ticking time bomb in Chen Jingshu's heart.
She won't have a moment's peace until this issue is resolved.
Led by Cheng Ying, Yue Zhixiao chose a relatively spacious courtyard.
"Young Prince, you have excellent taste. This courtyard was originally prepared for you by the master, but since we didn't know what you liked, we only did simple decorations. If you need anything, just ask Jiang Ying to buy it."
"Okay, I understand. You can go now if there's nothing else."
Seeing that Cheng Ying hadn't left, Yue Zhixiao asked, "Is there anything else?"
"Later, the master will take you to the movie theater to select a few actors to be your personal bodyguards."
Speaking of personal bodyguards, Yue Zhixiao thought of Zebin, who had been with him for more than ten years.
Yue Zhixiao felt a tightness in her chest.
"Zebin, how is it?"
"Is the young prince referring to one of your former bodyguards?"
"Hmm, is he still alive?"
"As far as I know, he has become a cripple and is locked up in prison."
Yue Zhixiao's heart trembled, and an unprecedented bitterness and anger swirled within him.
"Can we get him out of here?"
Yue Zhixiao clenched his fist tightly, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and said with a hint of bitterness.
He had never asked anyone for help before, but now he wanted to give it a try for Zebin.
“Young Prince, you are now the young master of the Prince’s mansion. Your subordinate is only responsible for obeying your orders. As for whether to save him or not, I think you should discuss it with your master.”
Cheng Ying's words were already quite tactful. Although Yue Zhixiao was the young master of the Heng Prince's Mansion, they still obeyed Yan Shaoheng.
Cheng Ying naturally couldn't agree to go to such lengths to save a servant.
"I understand, you can go now."
"Your subordinate takes his leave."
After leaving Qingfeng Courtyard, Yunxi and Yan Shaoheng did not go directly to Yue Zhixiao's courtyard, but went to the study instead.
"Have you discovered anything?"
Yan Shaoheng took out a medicine bottle from his sleeve, poured out a pill, and swallowed it quickly.
In Yunxi's eyes, he and Yan Shaoheng were never master and servant; what he wanted was to have the same status as Yan Shaoheng.
Before Yan Shaoheng could offer her a seat, Yun Xi had already sat down without any hesitation.
"It's best if Prince Heng doesn't take too many of these pills. Your body isn't like Yao'er's, which is extremely Yin."
I previously used Gu worms to forcibly restore your crippled legs.
This is already going against the natural order; the Gu worms inside your body are repelling you.
If you rely excessively on this elixir to suppress the Gu worms for an extended period, the Gu worms will likely become increasingly active until even the medicine can no longer suppress them.
He naturally knew what Yunxi was saying, but if he hadn't reached the point of no return, why would he have taken that medicine?
Yan Shaoheng's gaze was cold and ruthless, like a blade gleaming with a chilling light.
"Are there any other options?"
Yun Xi shook her head. "There's no other way. I've already explained all of this to you before we made this deal."
Yan Shaoheng stopped thinking about these things at this point. As long as he found the reason why he kept having these attacks, he would no longer be so dependent on pills.
"Is the problem with Jing Shu?"
"Your Majesty, it is clear that the Queen Consort consumed a great deal of water from the Tianshan Mountains while in the Yue Kingdom."
In addition, other medicinal herbs were added, causing the princess to sweat more than usual.
In this way, whenever Prince Heng and his queen come into contact, they will be affected by the water of Tianshan Mountain, thereby stimulating the Gu worms.
"Prince Heng, did you encounter Bai Qing's disciple in the Moon Kingdom? Is this Heavenly Mountain Water hers?"
Yun Xi recalled that Cheng Ying had recently sent him a letter inquiring about the situation of the world's most renowned doctors.
At that time, he suspected that Yan An, who had always been an enemy of Yan Shaoheng, was Bai Qing and Qi Po's apprentice.
Only the Seventh Granny's apprentice could put up a fight against him.
"We did encounter quite a few things in the Moon Kingdom. Yue Xiyuan was unwilling to cooperate with us and jointly destroy Linglong Pavilion."
Furthermore, the apprentice you mentioned, Bai Qing, might also be a disciple of Granny Qi. Her name is Yan An, and she is Yue Xiyuan's fiancée; the two are about to get married.
Yun Xi's sharp gaze swept across like a blade, revealing undisguised contempt and hatred in her ruthless eyes.
"Bai Qing, Granny Qi, after all these years, we finally have news of you. If it weren't for today, I would have thought that you, like Jiu Gu, had gone to find that old man long ago."
"Yunxi, what are your plans now?"
“I will not let go of anyone who is related to that old man. Since they did not want me to experiment on people in the first place, I will use them to feed my lovely little Gu worms.”
Yun Xi's eyes were bloodshot, and her sinister gaze revealed an undisguised craving for their flesh and blood.
"There is something I must warn you about. Yan An is not as simple as we imagine. The Tian Shan water she possesses is beyond our comprehension."
"Oh? I didn't expect that the once arrogant Prince Heng would have his arrogance extinguished after just one trip to the Moon Kingdom?"
Yan Shaoheng did not take Yun Xi's mockery to heart.
He knew that Yunxi was holding a grudge against him for asking him to develop elixirs last time.
"I just want to remind you that whether you listen or not is up to you."
"Since it was Prince Heng who kindly reminded me, I naturally couldn't be ungrateful for his good intentions."
Since Chen Jingshu does indeed have a problem, it needs to be resolved. Otherwise, I won't be able to get close to her, and who knows what she'll start to think if this continues.
"Does Jing Shu have a solution?"
"Don't worry, the prescription I just gave her contains a few medicinal herbs. After two baths, she can completely expel the water from Tianshan from her body."
"That's for the best. How are your recent experiments going?"
Yun Xi leaned back lazily in his chair, his words carrying a hint of disdain.
"It's all thanks to the extra able-bodied men sent by Prince Heng that my Gu worms were able to play a greater role. Congratulations to Prince Heng in advance!"
The experiment with the living dead has progressed another step; our ranks are growing stronger; and Prince Heng is about to ascend the throne.
Hearing Yun Xi say this, Yan Shaoheng felt a surge of joy.
"Since that's the case, do one more thing for me. Once it's done, I will be the emperor of Yan, and you can have as many able-bodied men as you want."
Didn't you say that northerners were more suitable to be your puppets? After I unify the four kingdoms, I'll give them all to you! You will be the Grand General of my army.
The "northerners" that Yan Shaoheng mentioned referred to the other three states besides Yan. It can be said that Yan was the southernmost of the four states.
