The divine doctor's concubine emptied the palace and went into exile

He didn't stand up from the ground until everyone's backs disappeared.

Touched his neck.

It’s still there, it’s still there, my head is still there.

How come it's still here?

Based on the prince's character, shouldn't he just kill himself?

Thinking of the way the prince looked at him just now, he felt as if the knife had already cut through his skin.

It’s not that the King of City didn’t want to kill him, but Shang Ruoyi whispered to him while lying on his back.

"Father, I was the one who insisted on going in. Don't blame anyone else."

It was these words that saved him.

Shang Ruoyi fell into a deep sleep and did not wake up until noon.

"Little Princess." Yu Qing said softly, "The prince said that if you wake up, you should go to the ancestral hall."

"Ancestral hall?" Shang Ruoyi was a little puzzled: "Don't they say that only men can enter the ancestral hall?"

"Little Princess, you don't know that the ancestral hall in our palace does not enshrine our ancestors, but the portrait of the princess."

Shang Ruoyi was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then she burst out laughing. He was worthy of being her father. Other people’s ancestral halls were used to worship their ancestors, but her father’s was different, he only worshipped his wife.

Following Yuqing to the ancestral hall, Jun Zegan was still kneeling there, with a cushion placed next to him.

There was a portrait hanging in the middle of the ancestral hall. The woman in the portrait had bright eyes and white teeth, and her eyes and eyebrows were full of brightness. It was undoubtedly her mother.

It seems that since she traveled through time, she has never kowtowed to her mother in this life.

She walked to the futon, knelt down slowly, kowtowed three times, and called softly, "Mother."

Seeing that the prince had no intention of asking her to get up, the housekeeper thought of how angry her prince had been before, and was about to plead for mercy when she heard the city king say, "You are weak, get up!"

Shang Ruoyi stood up, her eyes fell on Jun Zeqian beside her, and said with a smile: "Brother, father asked you to get up!"

"Let him kneel!" the city king said loudly, "I think he is in good health!"

Which eye of yours can tell that he is in good health?

Shang Ruoyi rolled her eyes silently. Seeing this, everyone lowered their heads. Shang Ruoyi reached out to help Jun Zeqian up from the ground and glared at her father: "Didn't you say yesterday that you would ask the court doctor to treat brother?" She pointed at the wound on Jun Zeqian's body: "There is not even a trace of medicine on it."

"The court doctor was busy yesterday and couldn't come."

Shang Ruoyi looked at him, seeming a little angry.

How could the City King be her opponent? He was defeated in just a few breaths, and turned to the housekeeper and said, "What are you standing there for? Didn't you hear what the princess said? Why don't you let the palace doctor come over to treat the prince?"

"I'll go right away." The housekeeper sighed: The only person in this world who can make their prince bow his head is the little princess.

Shang Ruoyi took out a porcelain bottle from her bosom, took out a pill and put it into his mouth. After taking the pill, Jun Zeqian obviously felt much more comfortable and his strength returned.

"Promise your father that you will not take any more risks. I have already lost your mother, and I cannot lose you again." The King of the City whispered, "You are my father's only daughter. If anything happens to you, I will not be able to see your mother when I die."

Shang Ruoyi blinked. What did he mean by she was his only daughter? Where did he put his brother?

Seeing Jun Zeqian's speechless expression, Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "I know, I know. You haven't gotten old yet, why are you so long-winded?"

"Father, do you know Tianyin Sect?"

Upon hearing this, the City King frowned and said, "I seem to have heard these three words somewhere before." He thought for a while, and then suddenly said, "I heard your mother mention it by chance before, and it's exactly the same as your question. So, what does this sect say?"

Just then, a voice came from not far away.

"Tianyin Pavilion is an extremely mysterious sect in Southern Xinjiang. It has only been established for a few decades, but the number of disciples has grown very fast. It is now the most powerful sect among the hidden sects in Southern Xinjiang." Elder Ye walked over slowly and whispered, "I think you have already met them."

Shang Ruoyi nodded: "The person you mentioned before, who is very good at raising Gu, could he be the leader of Tianyin Sect?"

Ye Lao's voice was a little nervous: "Did you meet her?"

"No." Shang Ruoyi whispered, "I met the young master and guardian of Tianyin Sect."

Elder Ye paused while applying medicine to Jun Zeqian and asked, "Young Master of Tianyin Sect?"

"Not bad." Seeing him ask this, Shang Ruoyi couldn't help but be curious: "Why, is there something wrong?"

"Based on that old woman's personality, how could she let her successor show up in public like this? No, no." Elder Ye shook his head: "Something is wrong."

Hearing her say this, Shang Ruoyi's heart began to beat faster.

Is there something wrong with this? Or is there something I have overlooked?

The wound on Jun Zeqian's body was not deep. After a simple bandage, Ye Lao stood up and said to Shang Ruoyi, "Come to my yard later."

"Yes."

The City King looked at Jun Zeqian and said coldly, "Get up."

Jun Zeqian looked at Elder Ye and said slowly, "Elder Ye, since you know so much about Tianyin Sect, I have a few questions and I hope you can answer them."

"Excuse me, my lord."

"What kind of sect is this Tianyin Sect?"

"Most of the Gu-raising families in Southern Xinjiang are related to medical skills. The Gu worms they raise are mostly used to treat diseases and save lives. However, there are a few evil cults that raise Gu worms and use them to annex other families and expand their power. They deliberately spread Gu poison and harm the people. Tianyin Sect is such a cult."

"Do you know what this sect wants to do? Or what they want to gain."

Shang Ruoyi whispered, "They want to stir up trouble in the world. The countries are fighting each other and their national strength is exhausted. They want to take advantage of it. It's a pipe dream to seize the world, but it's easy to get some practical benefits." She narrowed her eyes and whispered, "Perhaps, what they really want is to become a sect that is above the four countries and has centralized power."

In fact, from the very beginning, Shang Ruoyi didn't believe that they wanted to unify the world.

The world is too big for them to control.

But although they cannot control the world, they can control the imperial power.

Isn’t that idiot Emperor of the Western Regions just their puppet?

If I hadn't discovered it, the Western Region would have been engulfed in war and countless lives would have been lost.

The Imperial Concubine Zhao of Tianshun might have some connection with the Tianyin Sect.

It seems that they may want to achieve their own goals by controlling the emperor.

Thinking of this, Shang Ruoyi's heart sank. The Queen of Tianshun was the Saint of Southern Xinjiang. No matter how you look at it, it is somewhat similar to the current situation in the Western Regions. She hoped that it was not what she thought.
