Chapter 165: Destiny 11 I will accompany you back to the imperial capital
"Stop!" Li Yanze stopped the imperial physician. The imperial physician was very slow and stopped the person almost as soon as he pushed the door.
"I want to know what the current condition of his heart disease is?" Li Yanze said in one breath, ready to explain to him and convince him.
But the imperial physician immediately began to talk, "Your Highness is born with a heart disease, and has been relying on magical medicine for many years. The Imperial Master changes the medicine every month, and Your Highness needs to come to see the doctor in person to consider the medication. Since Your Highness came here, he has not taken medicine for more than three months. It is a miracle that he can hold on until now."
Li Yanze heard the subtext. Qi Youwei's heart disease has always been looked after by the Imperial Master. He has also heard of this Imperial Master, who is a rare and powerful person in the secular world.
"He can't leave spiritual energy in his heart veins..."
"How is this possible?" The imperial physician looked very surprised. "The imperial master always refines spiritual power into the medicine for His Highness to take. Only by taking the medicine three times a day can the heart meridian be warmed up. How can spiritual power not be rejected if it is directly input?"
Li Yanze's eyes lit up: "His heart meridian is not repelled by my spiritual power. It seems to be working well. Is there anything I can do?"
The imperial physician hesitated for a moment and said, "No wonder your highness is in better condition than we expected. This is far from medical science after all. Since this concerns your highness, it is better to go back to the imperial capital and ask the imperial master to see him."
The imperial physician looked at him and smiled: "The Imperial Master once predicted a glimmer of hope for Your Highness. I didn't expect that your destined partner would actually come along. But why is Your Highness so unwilling to return to the imperial capital... Alas."
Li Yanze frowned, looking thoughtful. The imperial physician glanced at him, breathed a sigh of relief, wiped his forehead and walked out.
"You went to get me a book. Where is the book?"
Qi Youwei watched Li Yanze push the door in absentmindedly, put down the letter in his hand, and asked him with a smile.
Li Yanze sat down beside the couch and couldn't help asking him, "Why didn't you tell me that I was the only one who could use spiritual power to protect your heart meridian?"
Qi You hummed slightly, as if he knew Li Yanze had more questions to ask, and waited patiently for him to finish.
"I know you don't want to go back to the imperial capital. But there is a glimmer of hope right in front of you, why don't you give it a try?"
Qi Youwei listened to him and lowered his eyes without saying a word. Li Yanze seemed to be disappointed, lying on the small table in front of him, and leaned forward to look into his eyes.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to force you."
Qi Youwei looked at him, reached out to push back his hair, and spoke in a calm tone.
"If I die, I won't be able to bother you anymore. In a month at most, you can leave without any worries. Isn't that good?"
Li Yanze stood up, supported by the table, lowered his head and said nothing.
Qi Youwei stretched out his hand and was immediately hit by a tear. He took a deep breath and reached out to embrace him, but his hand was immediately pushed away.
"Qi Youwei, what are you doing? Are you forcing me? Are you forcing me with your life?"
Qi Youwei wanted to pull up the corners of his lips and smile, but he couldn't.
"Do you really have to tell me that I hope you can live? I am willing to be entangled by you for my whole life, but I also want you to live?"
Li Yanze sighed. These few short days were more bizarre than all his past days. He was both happy and unhappy.
"Then you have achieved your goal." Li Yanze opened Qi Youwei's hand that was about to wipe his tears. "Yes, I hope you can live, even if the price is that I can't get rid of you for the rest of my life."
Qi Youwei looked at his tearful eyes, which seemed to hide broken light and were filled with his emotions. He was the only one in those beautiful eyes.
How could Qi Youwei not be secretly happy, but what overwhelmed her was the heartache.
In fact, it won’t be a lifetime, only less than a year. For those who practice Taoism, it is not enough for them to go into seclusion once, not enough for a young person to grow old, and not enough for a person to promise forever.
"I will accompany you back to the imperial capital, I will accompany you back..." Li Yanze said to him coldly.
Qi Youwei grabbed him tightly and pressed him on the table. Not wanting to hear what he had to say, he leaned over and pressed his lips.
Li Yanze had just shed tears, and it seemed that there was still warm and moist water vapor that he could capture. This time, Li Yanze did not dodge or be surprised, but just opened his eyes and watched him kiss him eagerly.
Qi Youwei seemed unable to learn to be gentle, but this time she looked at him, kissed him gently, and entangled with him as if to comfort him, sweeping across his lips and tongue, exchanging messy breaths.
The stabbing pain in his heart could not make him stop, but instead made him tremble with excitement. Qi Youwei reached out and gently touched the red corners of his eyes, then lowered his head to his cheek.
"sorry."
Qi Youwei has said many hypocritical words like this, and this is the most helpless and embarrassing time.
Their origin is lies and mistakes, and they can only continue to conceal and lie. Qi Youwei is good at these, and he has relied on these to survive since he was a child.
It’s not that he didn’t think about the consequences, or that he didn’t understand that being honest is the best thing to do, it’s just that he was afraid that he didn’t have time.
*
Those who came from the imperial capital to pick up His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to the town on their own accord and did not stay here to be conspicuous.
Qi Youwei knew that he had completely pissed off Li Yanze. He was not really a fool, he just trusted others easily, and his keen sense of smell often made him feel a chill on his back.
Li Yanze wanted to set up the exorcism formation in Taoxi Village before leaving. He would leave before dawn every day and return in the evening. No matter how Qi Youwei tried to show his goodwill, he would just ignore it.
Li Yanze put down his brush neatly, and a talisman drawn with cinnabar was completed. Walking alone in the mountains, it was very quiet. Li Yanze spent most of his time like this for many years.
It is common for a person to live in an uninhabited mountain for several months, but this time, he inexplicably had a lot of things in his heart that he couldn't let go of.
What I am most worried about is that Qi Youwei is alone at home. What if he has a heart attack and no one notices it?
Li Yanze originally thought that Qi Youwei really had no hope of survival. If the imperial physician had not come to visit, he would not have known that Qi Youwei had given up on himself.
Just for... just for that confusing bit of love.
Li Yanze sighed and thought viciously, he himself didn't want to live anymore, so why bother him what he did, he could just pat his butt and leave.
With this in mind, he sped up the process of setting up the formation, just to return to the imperial capital with him as soon as possible to find the imperial master and see if he could extend Qi Youwei's life.
"Mr. Li, are you going up the mountain to catch fish again?"
When Li Yanze went to the front mountain of Taoxi, he would naturally meet the hunters in the village. He often went up the mountain to catch fish and collect things in the past few days, so he was familiar with the hunters.
"Don't go up the mountain recently." The hunter sighed and asked him to come over and sit down to eat together. "It seems that there is really an evil spirit disturbing us recently. There is no peace in the village and the mountains."
"I should have bought that talisman to keep at home. Money is important, but it is not as important as life."
Although Li Yanze has not been to the village recently and has mostly been setting up formations in the mountains, this large formation is about to be completed. How could it be possible for evil spirits to disturb him at this time?
The hunter drank a few sips of wine before he dared to speak. Li Yanze saw that his eyes were blue, and thought he was really scared.
It turned out that strange things happened in the village just three or four days after the three monks left.
Every night, there would be the sound of a baby crying, and every household would hear it as if it was right next door. At first, everyone thought it was someone's child crying in the middle of the night, but after asking several households with babies, they still had no answer.
After that, some people kept seeing ghost shadows floating around their windows in the middle of the night. Some people braved the opportunity to open the windows to look, but saw nothing. The next day, they found that all the livestock in the house had been mauled to death, with blood everywhere.
The hunter, who had seen a lot in the mountains, guessed that some wild animal in the mountains had come to harass the village. Several households gathered a group of people, led by the hunter, to wait for the beast at night.
The hunter wiped his face with a lingering fear, and looked at Li Yanze: "We all saw it clearly, it's not a wild beast in the mountains, it has a human face! It has a snake-like body and four hooves, and the sound it makes is like a baby crying."
"That thing also knew magic. We raised our sickles to catch it, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye. The people who rushed over were scratched with long cuts, and the wounds bled profusely. Even the doctors in the town couldn't help."
Li Yanze sighed, thought for a while, and decided not to go back yet, and went back with the hunter to have a look. Before they reached the village, they saw the three Taoists selling talismans from afar.
This time, every household rushed to buy, and those who didn't have money also pooled their money to buy. However, Xing'er just watched, stopped her mother, and frowned at the three monks.
Li Yanze wanted to buy one to see if it was real, but when he took out his wallet, he only had a few copper coins left. Qi Youwei did have money, but he was having a conflict right now, so it would be embarrassing to go back and find him.
"Mr. Li! Are you here to buy amulets too?"
Xing'er saw Li Yanze from afar and walked over to say hello.
"As soon as these three Taoist priests left, strange things happened in the village. They might be the ones behind this. I don't understand why everyone is so eager to pay."
Xing'er clicked her tongue. She was the one who had the courage to open the window to look at the ghost, so naturally she was not afraid now.
"It is precisely because they might be the ones behind this that everyone buys their talismans."
Li Yanze's eyelids twitched, and he turned around to see Qi Youwei standing behind them, looking at him quietly.
Qi Youwei walked over and reached out to grab his hand: "You haven't been back all day, so why don't you come back at night?"
Li Yanze dodged with his hand, turned his head away, and only hummed. Xing'er was still thinking about Qi Youwei's words, and couldn't help asking him: "Why do you say that?"
Li Yanze was actually curious, but didn't want to ask. He just glanced at Qi Youwei, but met his gaze.
"The three of them carried the Imperial Observatory's tokens and wore the Imperial Observatory's uniforms. No one dared to be sure whether the three of them were selling the talismans at the behest of their superiors, just to make money."
"Ten taels of silver is too expensive. If the price was lower, the village chief and his men would have called on everyone to buy it. Now no one is buying it. If something happens in the village, even if some smart people guess that it was them who did it, they are afraid that they will hold a grudge against them. It is better to spend money to avoid disaster."
"After all, being frightened is a minor matter. It would be really dangerous if we offended the monks of the Imperial Observatory."
Li Yanze looked at Qi Youwei and remained silent for a long time. Qi Youwei looked at Li Yanze's dazed eyes and sighed softly. "Ghosts are nothing compared to human hearts."
"You think too much and it will only add to your troubles." Li Yanze did not agree with what he said, and he didn't know where his anger came from, and stretched out his hand towards Qi Youwei.
"Ten taels of silver."
Qi You smiled slightly, took off the jade ring from his waist and gave it to Li Yanze, saying only: "It's worth a thousand gold coins, enough for you to buy all the talismans."
Li Yanze took it, lowered his eyes to look at it, touched it casually, and found it was really a good thing.
"I'll pay you back."
After Li Yanze finished speaking, he walked towards the three monks and bought the talismans in their hands. Li Yanze only took one, but the three of them kept looking at the jade ring, and then whispered to each other, chasing Li Yanze and giving him all the talismans.
Xing'er looked at Qi Youwei: "You... who are you?"
Qi Youwei looked at her, with his finger between his lips. His eyes were sharp, and when he wasn't smiling, they were filled with the nonchalant pressure of a superior.
That is not the bearing of a scholar.
Li Yanze frowned and took the talisman. He took a look at it and burned one of them. He sneered and said, "It's fake."
As soon as Li Yanze turned around, the three monks suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to him continuously, admitting that they had done it.
"Yes, yes, your Excellency is right. This talisman is fake. We all deserve to die..."
They called the villagers again and hurriedly grabbed the silver and money and stuffed them into their hands. Naturally, the jade ring was stuffed back into Li Yanze's hands.
Li Yanze obviously did not expect this situation, but the result was good, so he did not stop it. The village chief did not accept the money at first, until he saw the three people's respectful attitude towards Li Yanze, and then he took back the money with a complicated expression.
What's there to not understand? Li Yanze looked at Qi Youwei across the crowd.
Qi Youwei just smiled at him, raised his hand and waved, and whispered nonchalantly: "Solved."
Several guards came out from behind him, showing their tokens and taking down the three monks. Li Yanze returned to Qi Youwei with mixed feelings, stepping on the talismans on the ground, and returned the jade ring to him.
"You are right."
Qi Youwei looked at Li Yanze and didn't see any sign of happiness in him. He just asked him in a low voice: "Now that the matter is settled, can you come home with me?"
Li Yanze was at a loss with such power. Just now, the village chief, Uncle Feng, and even Xiao He and Xiao Sui all changed their expressions, from one of fear and trepidation to another of subconscious respect.
"No, that thing hasn't been caught yet."
Li Yanze saw that Qi Youwei's eyes became strange for a moment, but he soon smiled and looked at the three monks being escorted by the guards.
"As monks from the Imperial Observatory, you released monsters to harm the people and took the opportunity to make money." Qi Youwei said it lightly, and only frowned when he heard them howling for mercy.
The guard immediately looked at Qi Youwei's face and roughly dislocated the three men's jaws.
Qi Youwei then relaxed his brows and continued, "You can escape the death penalty, but you can't escape the punishment of living. It's better to give up your cultivation, be punished with a stick, and be exiled to do hard labor."
Li Yanze had an indescribable feeling. It was not that he sympathized with the three monks, but he felt that Qi Youwei might not have intended to meddle in this trivial matter. However, these three people made him unhappy, so he wanted to deal with it.
Li Yanze felt like he was stuck in cotton, but his hand was pierced by the steel needle inside.
Li Yanze watched them summon a Yali, which really had a human face, a snake body and horse hooves. Qi Youwei asked them to catch it in a bag, stepped on the bag's opening, and looked sideways at Li Yanze.
"Take it to play?"
Li Yanze was silent for a moment and shook his head. Qi Youwei then let go of his foot, his eyes indifferent, and turned his head to let the accompanying imperial doctor go to see the injured family.
It seems that Qi Youwei knew everything that happened here over the past few days, but he just treated himself as a spectator, not getting involved or intervening, he just knew about it.
Li Yanze looked at the people behind him who were kneeling down in a rush. There were so many people, but no one dared to speak. Even the children were held in the arms and made to kneel down, with their mouths covered by the adults.
Li Yanze felt upset and left first.
"You're not happy."
Qi Youwei spoke, and Li Yanze found it a little funny. He used to say this to Qi Youwei often.
"I know why you are unhappy." Qi Youwei smiled again. Except for the jade ring on his waist swinging as he walked, he seemed to have become the scholar Qi Youwei again.
"Now you can understand why I don't like the Imperial Capital, right?" Qi Youwei looked at Li Yanze. "Scenes like today will happen more often in the Imperial Capital, and they will be even more extreme."
Because of this sentence, Li Yanze's inexplicable sense of danger disappeared and he just sighed.
"All right."
"But you have to go back to get treatment. It's not up to you."
Qi You smiled slightly, but he had a headache. Li Yanze hated power more than he thought, so he had to hide those things.
The exorcism formation was completed, and they set off for the imperial capital.
On this day, Qi Youwei deliberately chose a time when it was just dawn and there were not many people around.
Li Yanze carried a small bag and finally put everything in the small courtyard in order.
"Maybe we'll come again if we have the chance in the future."
Qi You smiled slightly: "Then send the chicken to Uncle Feng and the others, and pick the vegetables as well."
Li Yanze was about to speak when a blue light flashed in front of him. He reached out to catch it, and the spiritual power merged into his fingertips.
Qi You pursed his lips slightly.
Li Yanze laughed: "Senior brother has come out of seclusion!"
