Chapter 18 Jade Steps
We have arrived at Shenwu Gate.
These four words are like a pardon.
A hint of color instantly returned to Eunuch Liu's pale face.
He breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been pardoned.
The guards outside the car door pulled open the heavy curtains.
A cold wind blew in, mixed with the unique scent of pine and cypress trees of the Royal Forbidden Garden.
The tall and majestic Shenwu Gate is like a silent giant beast.
Standing quietly in front of everyone.
At the gate of the city were the armored and armed Yulin Guards.
Their armor reflected a cold light in the sunlight.
There was no human emotion in his eyes.
"Miss Ling, please get out of the car."
Eunuch Liu's voice returned to its previous shrill and distant tone.
He was the first to get off the carriage.
It was as if the distraught person in the carriage just now was not him.
Ling Zixia tidied her clothes.
She held the hand of a young eunuch.
He got off the carriage calmly.
Just as her feet stepped on the hard bluestone floor.
There was a huge commotion.
Suddenly, a sound came from not far in front of them.
I saw a more gorgeous carriage parked further ahead.
There was a large group of panicked guards and servants surrounding him.
"Quick! Call the imperial physician!"
A middle-aged man who looked like a manager was shouting at the top of his lungs.
His voice was filled with fear.
"The prince's cold has come back!"
"Your Majesty!"
Several guards tried to help a man who had fallen to the ground.
The man was like a mad beast.
The body twitched violently.
He threw away those strong guards.
Ling Zixia's gaze passed through the chaotic crowd.
She saw clearly the man lying on the ground.
He was a young man wearing a black brocade robe with dragon patterns.
His face was so handsome that it was almost eerie.
But at this moment, they were twisted together because of extreme pain.
His lips were an abnormal bluish purple.
His teeth were clenched tightly.
There was a terrible "cuckoo" sound.
A thin layer of white frost visible to the naked eye.
Even condensed in his eyebrows and hair ends.
It was as if his entire body was about to be frozen into ice by the cold air in his body.
"It's His Royal Highness Prince Jing!"
Eunuch Liu's expression changed instantly.
His eyes were filled with horror and fear.
"Why would this living devil have a seizure here?"
The surrounding Yulin guards also showed nervous expressions.
They all knew His Royal Highness Prince Jing.
He is the most brave and warlike younger brother of the current emperor.
He is also the person with the most violent temper and the most difficult to deal with in the entire royal family.
This strange cold he has.
Even the chief physician of the Imperial Medical Bureau was helpless.
Every time it breaks out.
It would make him miserable.
His temperament also became more cruel and bloodthirsty.
There was once an imperial physician who tried to give him acupuncture when he was ill.
Afterwards, he broke all four of his limbs.
Prince Jing’s condition was becoming increasingly critical.
His breathing had become shallow.
The amplitude of the body twitching became smaller and smaller.
It seems as if the fire of life will be extinguished at any time.
His guards and servants were sweating profusely with anxiety.
But there is no way.
They could only watch their master struggle between life and death.
In the midst of this desperate chaos.
Eunuch Liu's eyes suddenly turned.
He glanced at Ling Zixia, who was standing beside him with a calm expression.
I thought of the strange pot of "magic tea" in the carriage.
A bold idea that could allow him to exonerate himself and even gain credit.
It instantly rose from his mind.
He hurried back to the carriage.
The still warm white jade tea set was brought out from inside.
He held the teapot containing the "magic water".
He trotted into the chaotic crowd.
"Get out of the way! Everyone, get out of the way!"
He yelled in his shrill voice.
"We have the fairy tea gifted by the Queen Mother here!"
"Maybe I can save the prince's life!"
Everyone's eyes were instantly focused on him.
The steward of Prince Jing's Mansion seemed to have grabbed the last straw.
He rushed over immediately.
"Are you serious, sir?"
"Quick! Feed the prince!"
Eunuch Liu looked at the pot of "poison" in his hand that made him terrified.
My heart was also in turmoil.
But he had no way out.
He handed the teapot to the steward.
"We can't guarantee that it will be useful."
"This is all from the Queen's heart."
That manager couldn't possibly take care of so many things.
He took the teapot.
He was about to send someone to pry open Prince Jing's mouth.
Ling Zixia stood quietly on the outskirts of the crowd.
She watched the scene.
There was a flash of extremely cold calculation in his eyes.
She knew her chance had come.
She seemed frightened by the chaos before her.
He stumbled.
The body "accidentally" rushed towards the crowd.
"ah!"
She let out a well-timed exclamation.
Amid the hurried support of people around him.
Her right hand.
At an extremely hidden and natural angle.
It gently brushed past the white jade teapot held in the steward's hand.
Her fingertips.
It stayed on the warm pot for less than half a second.
It was this lightning-fast touch.
A force that is ten times stronger than before, full of extremely yang and strong aura.
It rushed into the tea in the pot frantically.
That cup of elixir that could originally help people concentrate their spirit.
Its nature was reversed drastically again in an instant.
It became a pure, overbearing stream of life.
A potent and miraculous medicine specially used to control the most yin and cold diseases in the world.
Several guards worked together.
Finally, he used a dagger to pry open Prince Jing's teeth, which had been bitten and bleeding.
The steward held the teapot.
The amber tea that exudes a strange heat.
All of it was poured into Prince Jing's mouth without a drop left.
Everyone held their breath.
They looked nervously at the man lying on the ground.
Waiting for a miracle to happen.
or.
It is a worse outcome.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
At this moment, time seemed to be stretched to infinity.
Just when everyone thought this attempt had failed.
Mutation.
It's happening right now.
I saw Prince Jing's body twitching violently.
Suddenly he froze.
Then.
Completely calmed down.
The white frost on his brow and in his hair.
At a speed visible to the naked eye.
Melted quickly.
On his purple face.
The color began to return little by little.
His breathing was so weak that it almost stopped.
It also became deep and powerful again.
Streams of white hot air.
Even the Baihui Xue on top of his head rose up.
A small column of air formed in the cool air.
This…this is…
Everyone was stunned by the miraculous scene before them.
Their mouths opened wide.
His face was filled with incomprehensible and extreme shock.
The steward of Prince Jing's Mansion.
He was so excited that his whole body was shaking.
He fell to his knees with a plop.
He kowtowed heavily in the direction of the imperial palace.
"Thank you, Queen! Thank you, Queen, for saving my life!"
Eunuch Liu was also stunned.
A huge wave rose in his heart.
He looked at Prince Jing, who had returned to normal.
He turned around and glanced at the girl who was still standing on the edge of the crowd with a look of shock on her face.
A chill rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
This woman.
Who is she?
Something in her hand.
What kind of magic pill is this?
In this silence mixed with shock, ecstasy and fear.
The man lying on the ground.
His long, tightly closed eyelashes.
Suddenly there was a slight tremor.
Then.
He slowly opened his eyes.
What a terrifying pair of eyes those were.
As black as ink.
As deep as a prison.
It is filled with violence, madness and the desire to destroy everything.
Those eyes.
Like the most ferocious wolf that has just awakened from its slumber.
Slowly scanning the terrified faces around him.
final.
It transcends everyone.
Precisely.
The picture was fixed on the frail girl in a smoky palace dress, standing alone outside the crowd.
