"Wait a minute."

But just as we waited, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

Inside Prince Jing's palace, everyone inside was extremely anxious, especially Chu Hanlan, who was pacing back and forth in the room, sweat pouring down his head, and he didn't even bother to wipe it off.

Wei Zhongjian was the same, he was fidgeting on the side. He stood up as soon as he sat down, and then sat down again after a while. But the chair was like a stove. It stood up again after a few breaths, as if it was burning his butt, and he kept muttering to himself.

"It's almost sunset, what's going on inside?"

They didn't know what was going on in the side hall, so they could only worry outside. Yun Chang'an saw that Chu Hanlan was circling around in front of him, making him dizzy, so he reminded her.

"Your Highness, you should sit down and wipe your sweat. You can't do anything in such a hurry."

"Young Master Chang'an, how about you go in and take a look?"

Wei Zhong heard this suggestion and echoed, "Yes, Young Master Chang'an, why don't you go in and take a look at what's going on, so that we can have a better idea of ​​what's going on!"

"No, the most taboo thing about this kind of treatment is being interrupted in the middle. Once something goes wrong, your king's life will be in danger." He rejected Chu Hanlan's request outright.

If one is interrupted while using Yuan Qi to heal others, not only will the person being treated become unstable due to the invasion of Yuan Qi, causing the Yuan Qi to damage the five internal organs, but the person passing the Qi on will also suffer an extremely strong backlash, and even damage their Yuan bones.

Yuan Chang'an was aware of this situation clearly, so he decisively rejected their request.

"This treatment is not as simple as you think, so please be patient and wait a little longer, but it should be over soon."

Sensing the breath of the two people inside, and that the surrounding vital energy was no longer running towards the side hall, he knew that the treatment was almost over, and spoke out to comfort the two anxious people.

"Really? That's good, that's good."

After saying this several times, Wei Zhongjian also felt relieved, and Chu Hanlan stopped pacing and stared at the door of the side hall, as if he wanted to see through it and see what was going on inside.

The guard came in again and reported the situation outside the palace. If nothing unexpected happened, Wei Zhongjian would use the same reason to deal with Chu Kangyuan and others outside the palace.

"What's going on? We've been waiting for almost a day. The sun is about to set, and we still haven't been summoned. What on earth is going on in there?"

Chu Zhuochuan questioned the guard who came to deliver the message, feeling a little angry.

"This... I don't know what's going on inside, but Wei Zhongjian told the king that he was meeting an important person and no one could disturb him."

"Important people? What kind of important people can I see for just one day?"

After saying that, he wanted to force his way in, wanting to see what was going on inside, fearing that the king was in danger. Chu Kangyuan was also a little angry, and he knocked on the door regardless of the guard's obstruction.

"Father, I am back. Can you please see me?"

A voice came from the door outside the palace. Wei Zhongjian said at this time, "This eldest prince must be getting really impatient and wants to force his way in."

"I'll go." Chu Hanlan also knew his elder brother's temper. He couldn't wait outside for a whole day. His elder brother also had a hot temper. If there was no reasonable explanation, he would wonder if his father was in danger.

Seeing that no one responded, the people outside the hall looked at each other, wondering in their hearts whether their father was really in danger, so they held their weapons and tried to kick the door open.

Just as he raised his foot, the door opened and Chu Hanlan walked out.

The raised foot was still in the air and could not be put down.

"Brother, you are so anxious that you want to force your way into father's bedroom."

Seeing that it was his ninth sister who came out, he put down his foot. "Ninth sister, why is it you? What happened to father?"

"Why can't it be me?"

Chu Hanlan also looked at her older brother with a sneer on her face. Since she was a child, this older brother loved her the most and would bring her any delicious food. Therefore, her love of eating was also influenced by Chu Kangyuan.

Then, Chu Hanlan ran to Chu Kangyuan, jumped on him and hugged him.

Chu Kangyuan also caressed Chu Hanlan's face lovingly. "Can you tell me what happened in there?"

Chu Hanlan stopped playing naughty and jumped down, saying with a wronged look on her face. "Why, as soon as you saw me, you didn't ask me if I was okay, but instead asked about my father's affairs."

Chu Zhuochuan, who was standing by, saw that the person coming was his aunt, and said, "Aunt, isn't father just worried about grandpa's safety? He didn't mean to break into grandpa's bedroom."

"Little table, have you grown so big?"

Chu Xiaoxiao looked at the handsome boy on the side and said with surprise.

"Auntie, don't call me a nickname!"

"Why, you've grown up, have your own ideas, and are no longer close to me, your aunt?"

Chu Zhuochuan blushed at what Chu Hanlan said and didn't know what to say.

"Lan'er, stop making trouble and tell me what's going on with father."

Chu Hanlan also put away his smile, pulled Chu Kangyuan aside, looked around, and when he saw that there were no strangers around, he leaned over to his ear and said, "Father is treating the poison in his body and cannot be disturbed."

"poison gas!"

Chu Kangyuan shouted angrily, but then realized something was wrong, so he covered his mouth and asked in a low voice, "Why was my father poisoned?"

"This is a long story. I will tell you in detail when father wakes up. I'm not sure if I can tell you about father's affairs, but you can't tell anyone else."

"Who is treating father in there?"

"I will take you to see them. You must remain quiet and not disturb your father. Is that clear?"

Chu Kangyuan nodded, came to Chu Zhuochuan, and said to him, "I'll take you in. Keep quiet, don't talk, and don't ask any more questions."

Seeing his father's serious expression, he knew that this matter was of great importance and that he could not joke around, so he put away his smile.

“Wait outside the temple, and don’t make any loud noise.”

Hearing Chu Kangyuan's voice, the followers also answered, and then stood there upright without saying a word.

After saying that, Chu Hanlan led the two of them into Prince Jing's palace.

As soon as I came in, I saw Wei Zhongjian standing next to a young man.

"Is this the person who saved my father? Why is he so young?"

Chu Kangyuan asked Chu Hanlan, as if he didn't believe that this young man could save his father.

The young man in front of him was too young, but he gave him a very dangerous feeling, as if as long as he had the thought of killing, the young man would kill him without hesitation. This was also a skill acquired after years of fighting on the battlefield. A few days ago at Luoxiapo, he had never had this feeling when facing those hundreds of masked men, but he just looked at him and felt like he was being stared at by a wild beast and he was in danger.

"very dangerous."

Chu Zhuochuan beside him also said that he and his father had the same feeling. Soon after, he felt excited, as if he had met a strong enemy. He wanted to fight him, but his inner reason stopped him. Before entering the palace, his father had told him to keep quiet and not ask too many questions. He could only suppress his excitement. But his eyes were still fixed on the boy who was much younger than him.
