Chapter 27: Homeward Journey
That handful of warm "medicinal rain".
Like a gentle rain falling from the sky.
It penetrated silently into the Queen's skin.
A warm and domineering heat.
It instantly swept through her limbs, which were stiff with pain.
The excruciating pain felt like thousands of ants gnawing at my bones.
Under the impact of this heat flow.
It's like ice and snow encountering the scorching sun.
Melted away quickly.
The Queen's face was distorted by pain.
At a speed visible to the naked eye.
Slowly stretch out.
Her beautiful, furrowed eyebrows.
It also slowly loosened.
Her lips, which were originally as pale as paper.
A hint of healthy color was restored.
“This…this is…”
The Queen's voice was filled with shock that could not be described in words.
She slowly moved her wrist.
He tried to bend his knees again.
The deep pain in her bones that had tormented her for years.
It actually...disappeared.
Disappeared without a trace.
As if it had never existed.
Her body.
I have never felt so relaxed and comfortable as I do now.
The palace maids and ladies-in-waiting around were busy and confused.
It was as if they were under a spell of immobilization.
Frozen in place.
Their mouths opened wide.
His face was filled with incomprehensible and extreme horror.
What did they see?
A miracle?
That girl who looks weak and boneless.
She just used a handful of ordinary rainwater.
Did he cure the Empress' stubborn old illness that even the chief imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital was helpless to cure?
Ling Zixia slowly withdrew her hand.
A perfect, innocent smile appeared on her face.
"My lady, are you feeling better?"
Her voice was as soft as a feather.
"My father once said that rootless water is the sweet dew from heaven."
"It can cleanse all the filth in the world and soothe the myriad sufferings of the world."
Her words.
It's like a poem full of Zen.
An inexplicable and shocking supernatural power.
It was packaged again as an ancient secret method full of mystery, inherited from the "King of Medicine".
The Queen looked at her.
In her majestic phoenix eyes.
All the scrutiny, suspicion, fear and exploration.
At this moment.
All of it completely vanished into thin air.
Instead.
It is an unprecedented, heartfelt...trust and dependence.
This child.
She is not a monster.
She is a lucky star given by God to himself and the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The Queen extended her hand.
She did it in an extremely gentle and loving manner.
He gently held Ling Zixia's still slightly wet hand.
"Good boy."
There was a hint of sob in her voice that she wasn't even aware of.
"From today on, you are my adopted daughter."
"In this palace, seeing me is like seeing your mother."
"I want to see who else dares to touch a hair on your head."
This sentence.
It was like an imperial decree descending from the sky.
This completely established Ling Zixia's position in the deep palace.
In this capital city.
An unshakable and supreme position.
…
The carriage back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
More gorgeous than when I came.
It is also more stable.
The curtains are bright yellow.
A small phoenix, representing royal grace, was embroidered on it in gold thread.
The most expensive calming incense was burning in the carriage.
The ground was covered with the softest snow-white fox fur.
Send her out of the palace.
She is the most capable female official beside the Queen.
The attitude of that lady-in-waiting.
He was more than ten times more respectful than when he came here.
She didn't even dare to sit with Ling Zixia.
Just standing by humbly.
Serve her tea and water.
The carriage slowly drove out of Shenwu Gate.
Pass through the heavily guarded palace walls.
Back to the bustling and noisy streets of the capital.
There was a bustling crowd outside the car window.
There was a peaceful silence inside the car window.
Ling Zixia leaned on the soft cushion.
Dozing with eyes closed.
There was no joy or excitement on her face.
It was as if everything had just happened in the palace.
None of it has anything to do with her.
She knows.
Although I resolved all the crises today.
He even got the most powerful backer, the Queen.
But this doesn't mean it's over.
Quite the opposite.
This is just the beginning.
The beginning of a more dangerous and complicated chess game.
Her performance today.
Too shocking.
It will definitely attract the attention of countless interested people.
Zhao Wenxuan.
Li Ruolan.
Defei.
even.
It was the emperor who was high above and granted this marriage decree.
Every one of them.
A new, more vigilant gaze will be used.
Let’s re-examine her as the “daughter of a traitor”.
Her future path.
It will only get harder.
Just as her thoughts were swirling.
There was a huge, terrified scream.
Suddenly came from the car window.
Immediately following.
There was a chaotic sound of horse hooves like thunder.
From far to near.
Rushing towards their carriage madly.
"The horse is frightened! Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
People on the street cried out in fear.
They fled in all directions like headless flies.
The entire street fell into chaos in an instant.
The royal carriage that Ling Zixia rode in.
Because of its large size.
There was no time to dodge.
The driver who was in charge of driving the car.
He was so scared that his face turned pale.
He tried desperately to hold on to the reins.
Restrain a frightened horse.
But it was too late.
Ling Zixia looked through the gap in the car window.
I saw a cart pulling a heavy load.
He was being pulled by two crazy horses with red eyes and foaming at the mouth.
In a life-threatening manner.
Straightly.
Towards the side of their carriage.
Hit me hard.
"Protect the Master!"
The female official who had been standing by.
Let out a shrill scream.
She opened her arms unconsciously.
With his not-so-strong body.
Standing in front of Ling Zixia.
However.
This doesn't have any effect.
In the face of that terrible impact.
Any flesh and blood.
They will be easily torn apart.
Watch.
Those two crazy horses.
It was about to crash into this gorgeous carriage.
A tragic, bloody tragedy.
It's on this bustling street in the capital.
Brazenly staged.
At this critical moment.
The girl who kept dozing with her eyes closed.
Her long eyelashes.
Suddenly there was a slight tremor.
Then.
She slowly opened her eyes.
In those eyes.
There was no panic or fear at all.
There was only an icy calm, as if at absolute zero.
Her hand.
At a speed so fast that it was hard to see.
Lightning fast.
He reached out to the gilded incense burner in the corner of the carriage, which was burning calming incense.
Her fingertips.
On that precious ambergris cake that was slowly burning.
Like a dragonfly skimming the water.
Brush gently.
The moment her fingertips touched the fragrant cake.
An invisible force.
A mad rush into the small piece of spice.
Ambergris itself has mild, soothing medicinal properties.
It was magnified ten thousand times at this moment.
It started as a common tranquilizing spice.
It has become an extremely powerful sedative that can instantly cause the nervous system of all living things to fall into deep sedation.
She did it all.
Then he took out the "Calming Cake" which had been transformed.
With an incredibly fast technique, like an antelope hanging a horn.
With a flick of a finger.
That little fragrant cake.
It turned into a black afterimage that was almost impossible to capture with the naked eye.
It penetrated the thick wall of the car.
Overcame layers of obstacles.
impartial.
Hit the bull's eye.
Precisely.
Broken into two.
They shot into the nostrils of the two crazy horses that were about to charge with their bloody mouths wide open.
