Chapter 238: Asking the Princess for Help
Xiao Changheng slowly raised his hand, pinched the corner of his sleeve to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and said in a hoarse voice:
"I can do it myself, you go and take a rest."
Yun Qingqing raised her head and looked at him seriously:
"I'm fine. I promised to heal you, so I have to see it through to the end."
Xiao Changheng's eyes flashed, he looked at her for a moment, and suddenly smiled.
"Um."
The man nodded slightly and said nothing more.
Yun Qingqing was slightly stunned by his smile, but she soon gave up thinking about it and focused her attention on the meridians in his legs.
She gathered her spiritual power in her palms, and a light golden light was transmitted from her palms into his legs. Wherever they passed, wisps of black air continued to overflow and escape in all directions.
However, these black air were blocked by the formation that Yun Qingqing had set up long ago and could not leave. They could only rush around in the formation and gather more and more.
Xiao Changheng couldn't see the evil spirits, but he could clearly feel the surrounding aura gradually becoming colder, but at the same time, his legs became more and more relaxed.
The piercing pain gradually lessened and finally disappeared without a trace.
Yun Qingqing let go of his ankle, let out a long breath, stood up, and immediately began to perform some magic spells.
The eight talismans around him suddenly lit up, and the formation composed of golden lines and runes also emitted golden light in resonance.
"Eight Yang suppress the evil, illuminate the dark world——"
"Bind!"
The eight talismans and the formation shrank rapidly, trapping the evil spirit inside like a cage. Finally, the golden light of the formation shrank into a bead the size of a pigeon egg, firmly binding the black evil spirit.
The eight talismans seemed to have life, automatically wrapping around the light bead one by one, and finally forming a small ball of talismans, which fell into Yun Qingqing's hands.
She put the talisman beads into the space and turned to look at Xiao Changheng, only to see that he was still motionless, staring at her intently.
Yun Qingqing smiled slightly and stretched out her hand towards him:
"Okay, come on, stand up and try it."
Xiao Changheng clenched his fingers tightly, took a deep breath, and held her hand.
The process was much easier than he had imagined.
He looked down at his legs that stood firmly on the ground effortlessly, shock flashing in his eyes.
"Why don't you try taking a few steps?" Yun Qingqing looked at him with a smile.
"..." Xiao Changheng looked at the hand he was holding. Although it was called a holding, she was actually intentionally holding it up to prevent him from falling.
He took two slow steps forward, feeling no discomfort at all.
but……
Xiao Changheng followed Yun Qingqing's retreating steps, took another step forward, then staggered and fell towards her.
"Hey, be careful!" Yun Qingqing quickly supported him and tried to help him stand up straight.
However, the man was almost hanging on her shoulders, swaying unsteadily. Yun Qingqing tried to support him several times but failed, and suddenly she reacted.
"Hey, that's enough!" She glanced at him. "I let you soak in medicinal baths and give you acupuncture every day just to restore your legs to normal condition in advance. How could you not even be able to stand? Don't think I can't see that you're pretending!"
"Hmm? I see..." Xiao Changheng chuckled softly, his expression unchanged as he continued, "It's not that I can't stand, it's just that I haven't used my legs in a long time, so they're a bit rusty."
Yun Qingqing stared at him, gnashing her teeth, a look of suspicion on her face.
"Qingqing," the man pressed half of his body weight on her, his warm breath hitting her ear, his low tone with a bit of softness, "Can you help me walk for a while, please?"
Yun Qingqing: “…”
Believed his lies.
Okay, considering he has been paralyzed for several years.
Yun Qingqing patiently helped him walk for a long time, and then began to yawn. After all, the whole day of treating his leg was very tiring.
Xiao Changheng now felt that he was fine again and finally didn't need her support. He was very considerate and sent her back to her room, telling her to rest early before leaving.
Yun Qingqing yawned, washed up and went to bed. When she lay down, she suddenly remembered something.
I was so busy following him that I had no time to talk about the end of the cooperation and the divorce.
Could this person have done this on purpose?
Yun Qingqing stared at the ceiling for a while, let out a long breath, and yawned again.
Never mind, one day doesn’t matter anyway.
Besides, tomorrow is the day when the emperor will receive envoys from several countries. Royal divorce is no trivial matter and it cannot be done at this critical juncture.
Thinking of this, Yun Qingqing stopped worrying and fell into a deep sleep after closing her eyes.
study.
Xiao Changheng stood at the window holding a scroll and said calmly:
"Is the news true?"
"Absolutely true." Nan Zheng nodded and said with some concern, "Your Highness, do we need to send someone to deal with it secretly?"
Xiao Changheng curled the corners of his lips coldly and said in a calm voice:
"No need. Since they want to show off, let them try!"
When Nan Zheng finished reporting and was about to leave, he saw Xiao Changheng put down the scroll in his hand, walked to the table, picked up another memorial, and quickly read through it.
Nan Zheng hesitated for a moment, then said:
"Your Highness...would you like to sit down and watch?"
My master has been standing for most of the night, reviewing countless documents, going back and forth between the desk and the window countless times, but he just refuses to sit down.
Xiao Changheng gave him a cold look:
"Do you think I haven't sat here enough these years?"
Nanzheng: "..."
Okay, as long as you are happy, Your Highness.
But having said that, Nan Zheng was shocked by the princess again this time.
Although everyone had no doubt that the princess would be able to cure the prince's leg, after all, the prince had been paralyzed for so many years, and everyone thought that it would take some time to recover and practice slowly before he could stand up again.
But the princess said that he would be cured today, and today the prince really stood up.
Moreover, he doesn’t need anyone to help him, he can walk around all by himself, even for more than two hours without sitting down, and he doesn’t look tired at all!
Is the princess really a goddess who has descended to earth?
Nan Zheng has secretly made up his mind that he will never have to pray to gods again.
It would be much more effective to pray to the princess for help!
…
…
the next day.
Yun Qingqing had a good sleep and woke up feeling refreshed. She stretched, but was suddenly stunned.
She got out of bed, opened the window and looked at the sky. She saw that the sun was already high in the sky and it was already past midnight.
"Qiao'er!" Yun Qingqing's eyelids twitched and she called Qiao'er.
"What's going on? Didn't I ask you to wake me up at the end of the morning hour last night?"
She knew that it was easy to oversleep when her spiritual power was greatly depleted, so she specifically reminded Qiao'er. This girl never forgot such things before.
Qiao'er prepared the basin and towel, shrank her neck and said:
"I wanted to call you Miss, but the prince wouldn't let me!"
"Ah?" Yun Qingqing was confused.
"The prince came early, but he refused to wake you up, saying you worked hard yesterday and needed more rest!"
Qiao'er blinked and smiled:
"My lady, the prince really loves you! But that's as it should be. It was you who healed his eyes and legs. To be able to marry such a powerful princess like you, the prince must cherish her!"
Yun Qingqing was washing up while listening to Qiao'er chattering.
"By the way, this is the first time I've seen the prince stand up. He's so tall!"
"The prince looks so handsome even in a wheelchair. I wonder how many noble ladies will be charmed by him if he stands up. But I know that the prince only has the young lady in his heart!"
"In this entire capital, the only person who can make the Lord Regent wait outside the door this morning is my young lady~!"
Yun Qingqing, who was wiping her face, was stunned:
"What did you say? He's still waiting outside?"
Seeing Qiao'er nod heavily, Yun Qingqing rubbed his eyebrows, moved faster, and turned around to look for clothes to wear when going out.
At this moment, the voice of the servants in the mansion sounded outside the door:
"Princess."
Qiao'er went to open the door and saw several maids and servants coming in with trays in their hands. The maid in the lead said respectfully:
"The prince said there will be a palace banquet today, and asked us to help the princess change her clothes."
Yun Qingqing sighed and let them change her clothes and put on her makeup.
But he was complaining in his heart. He knew there was a palace banquet today, but not only did he stop Qiao'er from calling him to get up, he himself was not in a hurry and was still waiting outside the door.
It was clearly he who asked the emperor to schedule the palace banquet to receive the envoys for today. What is going on now?
The maids and servants were very quick and efficient. In no time, they had helped Yun Qingqing change her clothes and tie her hair into a bun.
The leading nanny exclaimed:
"The princess is truly a celestial being. Even without makeup, she is a hundred times more beautiful than those noble ladies! We dare not put makeup on her carelessly, fearing that our clumsy hands would only obscure her beauty."
Yun Qingqing stood in front of the huge bronze mirror carried by the servants, looking at the figure reflected in it, her eyes moved slightly, and she was a little surprised.
