Volume 1 Chapter 378: Being Smart
Xiang Yun thought for a moment and then asked, "Has the child been named?"
The maid replied: "The Marquis of Shenwu gave the young marquis a name when he was born, Jiang Li."
"Jiang Li? Li..." Xiang Yun murmured for a while, frowned and said: "Why choose such a name? Never mind, Jiang Fei can be weird if he wants to be weird;
Since you already have a name, I will give you a courtesy name."
Xiang Yun pondered for a while, thinking of how the Jiang brothers were loyal to him, but because of the Taixu Divine Art, they became an old pair, and they suffered a lot. He hoped that the appearance of this child would prevent the Taixu Divine Art from causing trouble.
Xiang Yun thought about it and said, "I grant you the name Taixu, Jiang Taixu; I also reward you with a pair of longevity golden locks and ten pieces of brocade."
Then he turned to look at Zhen Rou and said, "Go there for me and put the golden lock on the child yourself. Choose ten rolls of the best brocade and use them to make clothes for the child."
Zhen Rou agreed with a smile. In fact, she also wanted to go over and see the baby, and now Xiang Yun had fulfilled her wish.
Three days later, Xiang Yun was handling government affairs in the imperial study when a eunuch suddenly came to report: "Your Majesty, the wife of Marquis Shenwu, Su, is outside the palace gate asking to see you."
Xiang Yun was stunned, then laughed angrily, "She just gave birth a few days ago, why is she still walking around? Go, let her go back and get well first, why is she here to see me?"
The eunuch hurriedly retreated upon hearing this. Suddenly, Xiang Yun thought about it carefully and felt something was wrong, so he said, "Stop!"
"Take her to Kunning Palace and let the Queen take care of her first. I will be there soon. By the way, the wife of Marquis Shenwu is not feeling well and cannot work too hard. Go find a sedan chair and carry her to Kunning Palace."
Xiang Yun hurriedly finished dealing with the government affairs in his hands and estimated that the marquis's wife had already arrived at Kunning Palace, so he set out to go there.
Because Xiang Yun had a high level of cultivation, his hearing was excellent. As soon as he arrived at the gate of Kunning Palace, he could hear the discussions coming from inside the house.
There was only the sound of a woman crying inside, the sound was not loud but continued, and there was also another woman's voice mixed in: "My dear sister, please don't cry. You just gave birth to a big fat boy. Shouldn't you be happy? Why are you so sad?"
"You don't tell me anything, so I don't know how to help you even if I want to~"
"My dear sister, please stop crying. It makes me sad to see you like this..."
As soon as Xiang Yun heard it, he knew that the voice belonged to Zhen Rou. She had a gentle personality, so her voice was soft and very recognizable.
Xiang Yun came in with a gloomy face and pretended to be slightly angry and asked, "What's going on? You're crying and sobbing. How can you be so rude? What happened?"
Zhen Rou and the other palace maids quickly stood up and saluted, only to see the marquis' wife Susan, dressed in gray, sitting beside Zhen Rou, crying bitterly.
When she saw Xiang Yun, she was stunned at first, then she quickly stood up and knelt down in front of Xiang Yun, kowtowed repeatedly, and shouted: "Your Majesty, the merciful Emperor, please save the Marquis!"
Xiang Yun frowned and waved away the palace maids and eunuchs in the room. When only he, Zhen Rou and Susan were left, he said in a deep voice, "What happened? Isn't the Marquis of Shenwu staying in the mansion? Why does he need me to save him? Is he sick?"
Susan cried, "Your Majesty, the Marquis only has less than a month to live. Please save the Marquis. A newborn baby cannot be without a father..."
Xiang Yun was shocked when he heard this, and he shouted quickly: "Tell me everything that happened!"
Susan quickly told Xiang Yun about the curse that Jiang Fei had been under. After listening to her, Xiang Yun realized that Susan herself knew very little. He continued to listen to her, but could not get to know anything except hearing more crying.
Xiang Yun was upset and ordered directly: "I know about this matter; Queen, please take good care of her and send someone to send her back to the Jiang Mansion when she is calm."
After saying this, Xiang Yun turned around and walked out of the palace and headed towards Jiang Mansion. In Kunning Palace, Zhen Rou hurriedly comforted Susan, saying, "Don't worry, dear sister. His Majesty will treat the Marquis of Shenwu. You should get up quickly and take good care of yourself."
In the Jiang Mansion, Jiang Yue was handling military affairs in the military camp outside the capital, Zhen Yueling was out shopping, and little Jiang Li was taken care of by the nanny. Only Jiang Fei was alone in the room playing chess with himself, his old face frowning from time to time, as if he was enduring something.
"Dai!" Jiang Fei dropped a piece, and suddenly his body froze. After a pause, he stood up and bowed to the right: "Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Xiang Yun had arrived in front of the house without knowing when. He saw at a glance that Jiang Fei's face was gloomy and dark, and he really looked like he would die young. He frowned and asked, "What's the curse?"
Jiang Fei frowned, feeling unhappy that Xiang Yun knew about this. Now that he knew about it, he felt helpless. He bowed and said to Xiang Yun frankly, "I don't have much time left. Your Majesty, please forgive me for not being able to lead troops to fight for you. I will fight for you again in my next life."
Xiang Yun said coldly: "I want to ask you what the curse is!"
Jiang Fei remained silent, still not wanting to speak. Just as he was about to open his mouth to say something else, he heard Xiang Yun scolding, "You two brothers are like this. You never take my words seriously. You are always self-righteous and self-righteous!"
"What a crap you are. Fighting for me, and then I'll let you harm my Fire Cloud Army! And you don't even know you're in the wrong!" After Xiang Yun finished cursing, he raised his hand and grabbed Jiang Fei.
Jiang Fei was enveloped by the majestic golden dragon energy and he didn't resist at all. In an instant he was pinned to the ground by Xiang Yun, unable to move.
Xiang Yun raised his hand and pointed at Jiang Fei's lower abdomen. A golden dragon then drilled into Jiang Fei's body and rushed around inside to check Jiang Fei's physical condition.
Xiang Yun screened along the way and found that although Jiang Fei's body was a little weak, he did not find any abnormality and no injuries. He couldn't help but feel confused.
The golden dragon came all the way to Jiang Fei's heart and suddenly stopped. Xiang Yun couldn't help but shudder all over, because he saw that Jiang Fei's heart was black and emitting a foul odor, as if it had been corroded by something dirty.
Xiang Yun didn't dare to act rashly at this time. The heart is not something that can be moved at will. One careless mistake could easily kill Jiang Fei.
He thought for a long time, but couldn't figure it out. He had no choice but to withdraw the Golden Dragon Energy, let go of Jiang Fei, and asked in a deep voice: "When did it happen?"
Jiang Fei had nothing to hide at this point, so he smiled and said, "When I was destroying the Luosha Sect, I was ambushed by an old man."
The two were silent for a while, and Jiang Fei continued: "This is called the Heart-Killing Curse. It will continue to destroy my heart and body. My health has been getting worse recently. I will die in about a month."
His tone was very calm, but it sounded so harsh to Xiang Yun's ears. Xiang Yun's chest rose and fell violently, and he was obviously very angry. However, Xiang Yun just frowned and did not curse anymore. He asked in a deep voice: "Is there any way to cure it?"
