After traveling through time, the adults were completely in my hands

In the bedroom of Emperor Wu Ren of Yue State.

After hearing what Jindou said, Jing Yu hurriedly asked, "Then... is there a solution?"

"I can now use silver needles to seal the emperor's meridians to prevent the loss of yang energy, but this is only a temporary measure. Only by finding the soul-capturing bead can the emperor recover his vitality and make a complete recovery," said Jindou.

Taking out a needle bag from his arms, Jindou used silver needles to seal several meridians on Emperor Wu Ren's body.

After putting the needle bag in his arms, Jindou stretched out another palm, covered the center of Emperor Wu Ren's forehead, and felt it carefully with concentration.

After a while, Jindou withdrew his hand, frowned, and said, "Your Highness, I can't sense the aura of the Soul-Snatching Pearl now. The Soul-Snatching Pearl should not be in the palace."

"Not in the palace?" Jing Yu thought of what the secret guard said, the Taoist priest in Lord Zhao's house.

After thinking for a while, Jing Yu looked at Jin Dou and said, "You've been traveling hard these past few days. I'll take you back first. We can talk about anything tomorrow."

"Yeah." Jindou nodded and looked at Jingyu carefully. When he first came, he was only thinking about Princess Jing'an and didn't even take a good look at the Prince of Yue.

Now look at this Crown Prince of Yue, he looks much more haggard than the last time they broke up.

Well, come to think of it, there are indeed too many things going on in the Yue Kingdom Palace. First it was the Queen, and now it's the Emperor. This has caused the Prince to have a bad time on his honeymoon.

Jindou shook his head sympathetically and said to Jingyu, "Your Highness, don't worry about the Emperor. I'm here to make sure he's safe!"

"Okay." Jing Yu chuckled and looked into Jindou's sparkling eyes. He felt the sense of loss just now suddenly disappeared. Jindou had not changed, it was still the familiar little sun.

In front of the East Palace Hall, Jing Yu looked at Jin Dou and said softly, "You go back and rest first. I won't go in."

"Hmm?" Jindou was stunned and asked, "Your Highness, aren't you going back to rest? The Crown Princess is probably still waiting for you."

Jing Yu stared at Jin Dou for a long time before shaking his head and saying, "I have something else to do. You go in first."

"Okay," Jindou thought to himself, it's really not easy to be a prince. He turned around and was about to walk in, but was stopped by Jingyu behind him.

"Jindou," Jing Yu took a step forward and looked at Jindou who turned around. He couldn't help but raise his hands, wanting to touch Jindou's hair, but then he thought of something and put his hands down abruptly. He only said softly: "Thank you, thank you for helping me."

"Your Highness, why do you say that?" Jindou replied hurriedly. After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said, "Your Highness, perhaps our fate was destined the moment you helped Daqing. So all of this was arranged by God a long time ago. You don't need to thank me."

******

Was fate already predetermined? In the imperial study, Jing Yu sat on the dragon chair, thinking over and over again in his mind what Jin Dou had just said.

He took out the small peach charm from his arms and rubbed the small scar on it where the arrow had shot into it. He couldn't help but think: Perhaps, from the moment Jindou gave me this peach charm, my life had already belonged to her. I was destined to worry about her for the rest of my life.

On the second day, in the palace hall, Jing Yu sat behind the dragon table and said to Zhao Tuo, the commander of the imperial guards, who was standing below: "Master Zhao, my father's condition has worsened in the past few days. To prevent any changes in the palace, I beg you to be patient and stay on duty in the palace for the next few days. Don't return home for the time being."

"Yes, I obey your command," Zhao Tuo agreed, but when he turned around and walked out, his face was full of suspicion.

As Zhao Tuo walked out, a secret guard walked in quickly, bowed and said, "Your Highness."

Jing Yu stood up and walked to the secret guard, whispered a few words, and the secret guard said "yes" and turned around to take the order and leave.

******

At night, a cool breeze blew, and the darkness was all around. In front of the residence of Zhao Tuo, the commander of the Imperial Guards, Jin Dou pressed her hands together, concentrating on sensing the whereabouts of the Soul-Snatching Orb. After a moment, she nodded and said to Jing Yu, "Yes, the Soul-Snatching Orb is right here."

After hearing this, Jing Yu waved his hand behind him, and a guard immediately walked forward and knocked on the door hard.

"Who is it, so late at night?" muttered the gatekeeper of the mansion. He had just opened the door, but before he could see who was coming, a steel knife was put to his neck.

After controlling everyone in the mansion, Jindou followed the breath of the soul-capturing bead and led everyone to the backyard of the mansion.

In the backyard, a Taoist priest saw the crowd and hurriedly tried to run into the house, but was caught up by the well-trained guards in two steps.

Seeing that there was no hope of escape, the Taoist priest suddenly stopped, took out a black bead from his arms, and threw it on the ground.

In an instant, a black smoke rose from the ground, trapping everyone in the yard in the black smoke.

When Jindou saw it, he immediately took out a bronze mirror from his arms and pointed it at the black smoke. At the same time, he began to chant something, driving the bronze mirror to emit a golden light, which shot towards the black smoke.

The black smoke quickly dissipated and disappeared under the illumination of the golden light, revealing the people trapped in the middle, but the Taoist priest had disappeared without a trace.

Jing Yu looked at the wall in the yard and waved to the guards behind him. The guards quickly ran to the wall, jumped over it one by one and chased after him.

Soon, the guards brought the Taoist priest back before he could run far.

"Your Highness, the soul-catching bead is on him," Jindou said, looking at the Taoist priest lying on the ground and trembling.

Jing Yu walked forward, reached into the Taoist's arms, and indeed took out a small bead. The bead was small, pitch black, and looked nothing special.

******

In Emperor Wu Ren's bedroom, Jing Yu asked all the servants to leave. There were only three people left in the room: him, Jin Dou, and Emperor Wu Ren, who was lying motionless on the bed.

Jindou stood in front of Emperor Wu Ren's bed, holding beads in one hand, making seals with the other, and began to chant spells.

A faint light appeared on the surface of the bead, and as the spell was chanted, the light began to flow around the bead.

Jing Yu stood by and watched Jindou concentrating on manipulating the beads in his hand. The light flowing on the beads reflected on Jindou's fair and delicate face, flashing continuously, making Jindou look as if she was a fairy stepping on colorful clouds to come to the mortal world to save all living beings. For a moment, Jing Yu was stunned.

At this moment, the bead in Jindou's hand seemed to sense something, and suddenly broke away from Jindou's palm, hovering above Emperor Wu Ren's chest, slowly rotating, and finally merged into Emperor Wu Ren's chest.

Emperor Wu Ren's breathing on the bed gradually became steady, and his originally pale face gradually regained its color.
