Immortality in the Great Qian Dynasty
Chapter 266: Drawing off the Firewood (Update 1)
Chu Yun shook his head: "You are so silly. You are too weak. It is not so peaceful outside the palace. What if something happens..."
"Third brother, you are still so long-winded!" Chu Ling interrupted him and shook the small bottle: "After drinking this magic water for a few days, my body is getting better and better. Now I am no different from a normal person."
"Nonsense!" Chu Yun shook his head.
He didn't think the magic water was so magical.
People spread it so magically that it can keep you young forever, strengthen your spirit, and turn you back to youth. It's just a joke.
In his opinion, it was just a rumor.
After one person's mouth, the effect of the magic water was exaggerated by one point. After ten people, it would be exaggerated by ten points. After more than a hundred people, it would be out of the question.
The magic water became a panacea for all diseases.
There is no such panacea in the world, from ancient times to the present!
Seeing Chu Ling's belief, he felt that Chu Ling was not very smart. Women are too easy to be deceived.
Just look at the enthusiasm of those noble ladies for the holy water and you will know how easy it is to fool them. Any random thing, with a little exaggeration, can fool them to the point of not knowing where to go.
When they find out that they have been deceived in the future, they will not learn from their experience and lessons, but will instead fall into the next fraud. They will not learn wisdom even if they suffer a hundred failures.
"Third brother, don't you believe in Master Fakong's Buddhist mantra?" Chu Ling chuckled: "I heard that my nephew was saved by Master Fakong."
"I have no doubt about Master Fakong's Buddhist mantra, but the holy water is not a Buddhist mantra, it is just water affected by the Buddhist mantra, and the effect is much worse."
"That's true, but the holy water does work, otherwise, how can I stand in front of you, third brother now?"
"Okay, it seems to work." Yi Wang Chu Yun nodded helplessly.
If she continues to argue, she will get angry and act like a rogue.
Chu Ling said, "I want to go to the blessing ceremony. Brother San, help me."
"Nonsense!" Chu Yun's face suddenly changed, and his eyes glared: "Absolutely not!"
He received a lot of news and knew how chaotic the blessing ceremony would be, and how many evil spirits would sneak in to make trouble.
"Brother San, you're not going?" Chu Ling asked.
Chu Yun snorted, "Of course I have to go to see this kind of big event."
"Then take me with you. With you, safety is always guaranteed, right? What nonsense is there?"
"Once the chaos starts, how can I take care of you." Chu Yun shook his head: "Why do you have such a mind!"
"My father won't let Master Fakong help me treat my illness, so I can only go to the blessing ceremony by myself." Chu Ling said.
"Father... he must have a reason not to let Master Fakong treat you!" Chu Yun hesitated and said in a deep voice: "I will plead with father to let Master Fakong treat you, don't go to the blessing ceremony to join in the fun!"
"Mother tried it, it didn't work... If you don't take me, then I'll go find Brother Nine." Chu Ling snorted.
Chu Yun's face was gloomy: "Old Nine?"
"Brother Nine will help me." Chu Ling glanced at him.
She knew that the third brother was extremely afraid of Brother Nine, not because of Brother Nine's high martial arts, but because of his position in the army.
The third brother has always regarded himself as the prince and regarded this world as his own world, so he would be afraid and hostile to anyone who poses a threat to his imperial power.
In addition to the sixth brother, the King of Ying, who is supported by all officials for his kindness and virtue, Brother Nine is also regarded as a threat by him.
If the third brother becomes emperor, the first person he will deal with is Brother Six, and the next one will be Brother Nine. He will remove Brother Nine from his position and prevent him from being the governor of the Nine Gates and controlling the security of the entire Shenjing.
"Old Nine really dares to take you there, Father will never forgive him!" Chu Yun said coldly: "I won't forgive him either."
"Third brother, you are too domineering, aren't you? You don't take me there, and you don't allow Ninth Brother to take me there?" Chu Ling said with a sarcastic smile: "You haven't become the emperor yet, so you can't punish Ninth Brother."
Now in the court, Third Brother is more powerful in terms of power, but Ninth Brother is still the strongest in terms of real power. The Nine Gates Admiral has a transcendent status and is only responsible to Father and is not subject to their control.
So now Third Brother can't do anything to Ninth Brother.
"...Little sister, just let me worry less!" Chu Yun softened his tone helplessly.
"Under your nose, aren't you the least worried?" Chu Ling said with a smile: "Third Brother, if you don't agree, I will complain to Mother and say that you bully me!"
"You..." Chu Yun pointed at her.
Chu Ling said proudly: "Let's see if my mother will punish you!"
Chu Yun looked at her helplessly: "I really owe you in my last life. Tell me, how can you not go to the blessing ceremony?"
"Third brother, you are doing this again!" Chu Ling snorted: "I won't be bribed by you!"
"I recently got a set of precious clothes, the spotless precious clothes. After wearing them, they are spotless and always absolutely clean."
"Impossible?"
"You know about my mother's precious clothes."
"..."
"Do you want the spotless precious clothes?"
"...Yes!"
"Then it's settled. If you get my precious clothes, you are not allowed to go to the blessing ceremony again. If you don't agree, then this precious clothes will be left to the princess."
"Okay, okay, it's okay to agree!" Chu Ling said impatiently: "Hurry up and show it to me."
Chu Yun stared at her.
Chu Ling said: "I promised you, and I will never break my promise!"
"...Okay." Chu Yun snorted, clapped his hands, and a pretty maid came in to salute.
Chu Yun gave an order.
A moment later, the maid brought a flat yellow wooden box to Chu Ling.
Chu Ling opened it and found a set of moon-white silk shirt inside, which looked soft and delicate.
She reached out and touched it. It was not the texture of silk, but linen, and looked very rustic.
This was the same color she liked to wear, and the same texture she liked.
It was not so white and flawless, nor was it as dull as gray. The moon white color, which had both color and no color, was in the middle, which was most in line with her heart.
If the fabric was smooth, she would feel itchy in her heart, as if her fingers were scratching on a smooth stone. The soft and abrasive feeling made her feel more secure.
"Little sister, go change it and try it on." Chu Yun said.
Chu Ling took Xiao Xing and Xiao Yue and followed the pretty maid out.
When she came in again, she was wearing a moon-white silk shirt, holding a folding fan and gently shaking it, and walked in with square steps, like a jade-faced scholar, handsome and romantic.
"Not bad, not bad." Chu Yun nodded with satisfaction: "It fits me perfectly, as if it was God's will, and it was prepared for you, my little sister."
"Third brother," Chu Ling walked two steps in front of him, very satisfied with the immaculate treasured robe: "Where did you get this?"
"I can't say that." Chu Yun shook his head: "Anyway, it was presented by the people below."
"Don't you want to find out where it came from?" Chu Ling said: "What if it was taken from a dead person!"
"That's impossible!" Chu Yun shook his head: "They don't dare to do that."
"People, they often like to overestimate themselves." Chu Ling sighed: "Third brother, you think too highly of yourself, be careful, don't always stare at the top, but also look at your feet,...Okay, I won't bother myself, no matter what it comes from, it's you, third brother, who gave it to me, then I'm leaving."
"Okay, go back to the palace quickly." Chu Yun had no intention of keeping her, and wished she could go back to the palace quickly and send this little ancestor away.
He was more than a dozen years older than Chu Ling. When Chu Ling was brought back by the queen, he was already sensible and treated her as both a sister and a daughter.
His feelings for Chu Ling were deeper than those for his sons.
After the three sons were born, he was completely focused on the court struggles and had no time to pay attention to them. He spent very little time with them. In a day, he could only see them once at dinner, and not at the rest of the time.
But he grew up with Chu Ling. He helped to take care of Chu Ling since she was a child.
But despite their deep feelings, they couldn't play together. They were separated by a generation and had completely different ideas.
After she became a big girl, she always complained that Chu Yun was nagging, even more nagging than the queen, and controlling her too much.
In terms of similar temperaments, she still had similarities with Xin Wang Chu Xiang.
Chu Ling returned to Lingyun Palace, leaning on the Luohan bed in the front yard, and carefully recalled Fakong's every move.
How did he recognize her at once?
And why did he take the risk and cast the rejuvenation spell on himself directly?
Is it really for the ninth brother?
Or is it because of the emperor?
Although she was locked up in the palace, she was not naive. On the contrary, because she had read a lot, she was more thoughtful than ordinary people.
Everyone's behavior has a purpose. There is no good without reason, and there is no bad without reason. There must be a purpose.
What is Master Fakong's purpose?
She thought about it, but she really couldn't think of it.
Of course, she couldn't think that Fakong saved her because he saw her tragic death on the spot at the blessing ceremony, her body was separated, and it was too late to save her.
Fakong understood that if she really died tragically at the blessing ceremony, the consequences would be too serious.
Not to mention whether the blessing ceremony could continue to be held, she would also be hated by the emperor and the empress, and she would never be able to turn over again.
So no matter what, this tragedy must be prevented from happening.
He has been having a headache. What can be done to change this result? Should he increase the guards for Chu Ling or let Lin Feiyang guard her.
But the best way is to prevent her from participating in the blessing ceremony.
Then should he persuade Prince Xin, or ask someone else to stop her?
However, these methods are not safe, and there will be accidents. Unfortunately, no matter how powerful he is, he can't directly seal her acupuncture points and block her in the palace.
Directly curing her is the best way to prevent her from participating in the blessing ceremony.
Only removing the firewood from the cauldron is the fundamental solution.
But there is a most important question: if he cures the fifteenth princess, how will the emperor react?
When he saw Chu Ling, he found that she was carrying the holy water, and her physical condition had improved a lot. There was also a strange power brewing in her body, which needed vitality to strengthen.
No wonder Chu Ling has always been weak and sick. It is probably because of the devouring of this power, which requires strong vitality, and as a result, it devoured Chu Ling's vitality.
Only the rejuvenation spell can cure it, so that this power can be well fed and well-fed, so that it can thrive and undergo earth-shaking changes.
So, he can completely get away with it.
By drinking the holy water, the vitality needed by this power was replenished, thus a qualitative change occurred, and this power changed Chu Ling's physique.
So it was not his own credit to cure Chu Ling, but the credit of the holy water and this power, which could deceive the emperor.
The moment he saw Chu Ling, his thoughts turned quickly, so he made a prompt decision and directly cast the rejuvenation spell in secret, curing Chu Ling, without anyone noticing, and perfectly.
Chu Ling lay on the Luohan bed, thinking about it, and felt a strange power transforming herself, her bone marrow was numb and itchy, and her skin began to fall off.
"Princess Princess?!"
Xiaoxing and Xiaoyue were shocked and hurried to find the queen.
When the queen hurried over, Chu Ling had already fallen into a daze, and her whole body was as hot as a stove.
She hurriedly asked Xiaoxing and Xiaoyue to find the imperial physician.
The imperial physician Xu Taihua was a gaunt old man. After taking the pulse, he smiled and clasped his fists to congratulate the queen. The fifteenth prince had recovered from his illness. The extraordinary feat he had been practicing had finally paid off. He had turned the world upside down and turned weakness into strength. This was cause for celebration.
