"Your Highness, you look very unwell. Could it be that your illness has flared up again?"
Pei Xuan and Duan Nian questioned Qi Guze.
Qi Guze was in so much pain that he couldn't speak, his steps were unsteady, and he could barely stand.
Upon seeing this, Pei Xuan and Duan Nian quickly helped Qi Guze into their house.
"Your Highness, how are you? Should we go and fetch a doctor?"
"Your Highness, this can't go on forever. Why don't we think of a way to go to the King of the Underworld Palace to find the Red Vine!"
It would be extremely difficult for them to find a woman whose internal strength is completely opposite to Qi Guze's, yet the same. It would be much easier for them to search for Hong Tengzi in the Mingyue Kingdom's palace!
After hearing what they said, Qi Guze quickly shook his head.
"You shouldn't go see a doctor anymore. It's best not to let any more people know about this."
The old doctor they had consulted before was useless; he only left some medicine behind. Qi Guze could only slightly alleviate his symptoms with those medicines, and they could not completely cure him.
That old doctor was already the most authoritative and powerful doctor in the capital of the Underworld Moon Kingdom. The other doctors were simply useless. Qi Guze didn't want his current situation to be known by those with ulterior motives, so he wouldn't let Pei Xuan and Duan Nian go looking for a doctor.
"Alright, then we won't go to see a doctor. But Your Highness, how can we alleviate your condition?"
Pei Xuan was particularly worried about Qi Guze and didn't know how to take care of him.
Seeing Qi Guze in such pain, his face was extremely pale and bloodless, and his whole body was burning hot, he thought that if only he could take Qi Guze's pain away from him.
But that's just wishful thinking; they could never take Qi Guze's pain for him!
Qi Guze said, "Go and prepare another batch of the medicine that the old doctor prescribed for me. I can take those medicines!"
Although those medications can only alleviate his current condition, it's still better than not taking any medication at all!
Upon hearing this, Pei Xuan and Duan Nian immediately went to make it.
A few people stayed behind to watch over Qi Guze, fearing that he might harm them if something happened to him.
Pei Xuan and Duan Nian quickly arrived at the kitchen and put the medicine they had prepared earlier into a ceramic jar to brew.
"Pei Xuan, what do you think the Prince should do now?"
"The prince's internal energy has been damaged. If we don't have Hong Tengzi, or a woman whose internal energy is the opposite of the prince's, how can we save him?"
"Seeing the prince in so much pain, I don't know how much longer he can hold on!"
Duan Nian was very worried about Qi Guze and wanted to find a way to save him as soon as possible.
Pei Xuan remained silent for a long time after hearing this.
He was diligently brewing the medicine when it was almost ready. Only then did Pei Xuan speak to Duan Nian, saying, "Since Your Highness is unwilling to go to the Mingyue Kingdom's palace to seek the Red Vine Seed from the King of Mingyue, we can use other methods to obtain it!"
"These red vines are so precious, I suspect the King of the Dark Moon Kingdom must have hidden them in the treasury of their palace!"
"If we search the treasury of the King of the Underworld Moon Kingdom thoroughly, we will surely be able to find the Red Vine to save the King!"
Duan Nian, who was standing nearby, was very excited when he heard this. Why hadn't he thought of this method before?
"Pei Xuan, you are really too smart to have come up with this idea!"
"If this method succeeds, then the prince will be saved!"
"I'll gather the manpower right now and make proper arrangements. Let's take action soon!"
Pei Xuan said, "Okay, when you go to adjust the manpower, you must be especially careful and not let anyone tell the prince about this."
"Yes, yes, I will definitely be very careful and will never let the prince know about this, so you can rest assured."
Duan Nian simply flicked his sleeves, turned around, and left.
A short while later, Duan Nian had already gathered some of his bodyguard brothers.
When the guards saw Duan Nian summon them, they thought the prince wanted to see them about something.
"Duan Nian, why did you call everyone here?"
"Does His Highness want us to do something?"
Duan Nian said, "Actually, the reason I called everyone here this time was not because the Prince wanted to see you."
Why is that?
"Do you want to ask everyone for help?"
These bodyguards are not exempt from helping their brothers, but they must obtain Qi Guze's permission before doing so. Otherwise, they would be breaking their rules, and if Qi Guze finds out, he will definitely punish them severely.
Duan Nian said, "Although it wasn't the prince who summoned you here, I did summon you all here for the sake of the prince!"
"As you all know, the prince recently suffered internal injuries and needs the red vine seeds from the Mingyue Kingdom's palace to save him!"
They had kept this matter well hidden before and had not let anyone else around them know, but now, in order to save Qi Guze, Duan Nian had no choice but to tell the secret guards everything.
"So you summoned us here today so that we could go to the palace of the Underworld Moon Kingdom to search for the Red Vine Seed?"
One of the people in the shadows asked Duan Nian a question, and Duan Nian nodded and continued speaking to them.
"I will find out exactly where the Red Vine is in the palace of the King of the Underworld Moon Kingdom. At that time, you should search the palace thoroughly and make sure to find the Red Vine to save the King!"
"If you encounter any danger, your safety must be the top priority!"
"My own life comes first, finding the red vine is secondary!"
Duan Nian did not want his bodyguard brothers to get hurt because of him.
Explain things to them beforehand, so that they will know what to do if they encounter an emergency.
Are you willing to do this?
Duan Nian glanced at the dozen or so people around him and saw that all the guards nodded.
"This is to save the prince, of course I'm willing!"
"No matter what, I will find the red vine!"
"His Highness is our savior! Now that His Highness is in such danger, of course we must do our utmost to help him find the red vine and save him!"
Duan Nian was deeply moved to see so many of his secret guards willing to search for Hong Tengzi among the employees of the Underworld Moon Kingdom.
