During these eight days, the news of the second prince’s assassination had spread throughout the palace.
This kind of thing could be called a palace scandal. It was either caused by a disaster, or someone deliberately planned to murder the prince. Regardless of the reason for the assassination, the royal family did not want the news to spread.
However, there were too many young ladies from the princes’ families who went to the Qiuyan Mountain for hunting that day. Although they all kept their mouths shut and did not leak any news, the news had already spread privately.
The emperor was furious about this and immediately sent the Imperial Guards to investigate and also sent an imperial physician to treat the second prince.
When the imperial physician was examining the patient, he used his finger to scoop up some of the powder on the second prince’s chest, put it under his nose and sniffed it carefully. He felt very doubtful in his heart and had an indescribable look on his face.
The Second Prince had been lying in bed for a few days. The wound on his chest that almost pierced his heart had almost healed, but he still looked weak. He asked, “Doctor Xu, did you find anything?”
Doctor Xu said, “Your Highness, to be honest, this powder is similar to the Golden Healing Medicine of the Imperial Hospital. They are both made of hibiscus leaves, borneol, and other ingredients. But I don’t know why this Golden Healing Medicine is so effective and has made your injuries heal so quickly!”
“I have never seen a medicine with such a restorative effect. I think there must be some other secret recipe in this powder, but I am incompetent and cannot tell it.”
“The one who healed you must be a miracle doctor!”
Even if he didn’t say it, the second prince found it extremely strange. The arrow he had stabbed himself with had pierced deeply into his flesh. If it had been deeper, he would probably have gone to see the King of Hell. According to his original plan, the wound would take at least three to five months to heal.
But now, thanks to the common man who inexplicably appeared on Qiuyan Mountain and saved him, he was able to get out of bed in just a few days!
The Second Prince’s plan was ruined, and although he was somewhat angry, he was more filled with doubts.
Who was the one who saved him? Why did he save him? The one who could come up with this magical medicine should not be an ordinary person.
“Doctor Xu, you are very knowledgeable. Can you guess who made this golden medicine?”
Doctor Xu said, “I am ashamed to say that I have no clue. But I heard a few days ago that someone in the capital city treated the people at Yong’an Temple. Many people with colds were cured overnight. I wonder if he is the same person as the miracle doctor who treated people at Yong’an Temple?”
The second prince had also heard about this, but just based on this bottle of golden medicine, he could not connect the person who saved him with the one in Yong’an Temple.
He frowned and told Doctor Xu, “You should leave first. By the way, don’t tell anyone that I’m almost fully recovered.”
Doctor Xu was a member of the Second Prince’s faction. So he agreed immediately and then left.
The second prince lay in bed and took sick leave, while there was a loud quarrel in the emperor’s meeting room.
The courtiers were arguing over the severe frost disaster on the northern border.
The frost disaster at the end of this year spread throughout the State of Yan. In the capital, only the price of food rose, which did not affect people’s livelihood. However, the North Border was already extremely cold, and the disaster made the situation even worse.
Not only that, the soldiers stationed in Beizhou came hurriedly yesterday to report that due to lack of food, no rain in March, drought, etc., the violent army gathering for rebellion was growing stronger and stronger. If nothing was done, they were afraid that the rebel army would really approach the Beizhou garrison.
The emperor was so anxious that he put the assassination of the second prince aside for a moment.
The current crisis was: frost disaster, drought, and riots in northern border were all accelerating. Who will deal with it? How should we deal with it?
The Minister of Revenue and the Fifth Prince’s faction naturally stood up and recommended the Fifth Prince. The Queen’s faction immediately stood up and recommended the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince was sweating profusely and was afraid of the violent soldiers. So he refused three times, which made the Emperor so angry that he blew his beard and glared. In addition, General Zhenyuan was from the Second Prince’s faction. The Second Prince was now sick, and he didn’t want the Fifth Prince to make this achievement again, so he took the initiative to stand up and volunteer.
The emperor saw that these people had their own thoughts, but none of them really wanted to control the disaster for the sake of the people. He was annoyed by the noise so could not help but say angrily: “Shut up, who will go? Wait for me to make a decision before making a decision.”
Thus, after some confusion, the court was dismissed.
Many things happened in the palace, but Ning Wang’s mansion had been quiet these days.
The old lady had been busy choosing clothes and jewelry these days. There would be a banquet for the Qiuyan Mountain Hunt in the palace in two days. At that time, Lu Huan, who killed the Snow Wolf King, would be able to meet the emperor. The old lady and Princess Ning would also enter the palace as family members.
This was the first time in recent years that the old lady had been able to enter the palace to attend a banquet after the decline of the Ning Palace, a palace of a different surname. She was naturally very happy. Not only did she ask the nanny beside her to send many arrangements to Lu Huan, she also rewarded the servants in the Ning Palace.
….
These plots took place within these eight days when Su Xi was not online, so the system actively called the scenes up and asked her to watch them quickly.
But at the moment, she was looking at the baby on the screen and had no intention of watching what happened in the palace and Ning Wang’s mansion in the past eight days, so she slid the animation to the upper right corner of the screen and zoomed out.
At this moment, Lu Huan naturally had no time to think about those things.
He looked at the food in the box that the man left behind. The steam was rising slowly, shrouded in white mist in the winter night. It was real and warm, reminding him that all this was not a dream.
After that guess emerged in his mind, his heart began to beat rapidly, and the blood in his body also rushed rapidly—not because of fear, but because he seemed to have finally pushed aside the layers of fog and approached the true identity of that person…
This was extremely important to him.
Lu Huan suppressed his somewhat rapid breathing, trying his best to calm down, and carefully sorted out in his mind everything that had happened after that person appeared beside him.
I should have guessed it since the man was able to send all kinds of things into my house without my noticing, including boots, charcoal basins, and mended clothes, and send chickens, crops, and winter sheds into my yard.
But at that time Lu Huan only thought that the man was some powerful hermit who came and went freely and had great martial arts skills.
Afterwards, when in Yong’an Temple, he used wind-cold medicine to save people, due to which he obtained the house and farm from Zhong Ganping, met with the Minister of Revenue, and went to Qiuyan Mountain for hunting at the order of the old lady. For all these things, that person seemed to have always been by his side and knew them clearly!
Although he had doubts in his heart at that time, he was unwilling to think of it in a supernatural way. He just thought that the man had extremely wide sources of information, and had spies throughout the capital, and he was well aware of all the major and minor events that happened in the capital.
In addition, the man sent more than 200 chickens to the farm overnight and left patterns in Lady Ning’s room to play a trick on her without anyone noticing, which was something that ordinary people could not do.
…Now that I think about it carefully, no matter how powerful one is, it is impossible to do these things. These are things that mortals cannot do at all.
So……
Is that person really a god or a ghost?
The person responded to the notes he left every night but never left a single word. He asked the person if there was some reason that made him unable to leave a message, and the person said “yes” – it turned out to be because of this reason!
Could it be that ghosts and gods cannot leave any traces?
