I didn’t expect that they were not biological mother and son!
The kinship that transcends blood ties is unimaginable among wealthy families!
Not to mention family affection, many times we have to pretend not to see the intrigues of profit...
Princess Yao'er curiously asked about the old imperial physician's previous words and said:
"Grandpa Imperial Physician, you just said that Brother Chu is strong enough to lift a tripod. Did you also see him throw a bear off the mountain?"
The old imperial physician laughed and said:
"That's nothing. Princess Yao'er doesn't know how this guy pushed our ship into the main channel when he was in Yunhe Town..."
He described the situation at that time, and of course did not forget to complain again, saying that he almost buried several old guys at sea.
"...Having experienced many different ways of dying, I, this old servant, firmly believe in one thing: to die peacefully and pain-free, to enjoy a peaceful old age, is truly a great blessing!"
After hearing this, Wen Yaoer was so surprised that she was speechless.
The two graceful ladies dressed in palace dresses were equally surprised. They had seen a group of trackers towing a boat, but they had never seen a person get the boat out of the harbor by splashing water!
Empress Wen said nonchalantly, "Imperial Physician, why didn't you mention this matter in the court earlier?"
The old imperial physician bowed to the Empress and explained, "Your Majesty, in court, we can only speak of the key points. If I were to tell you everything from the bickering between me and my junior brothers to the rubbing of medicinal mud into my ears, it would be too lengthy."
This is the truth. Empress Wen couldn't even imagine how many details of that night in Yunhe Town were not mentioned.
Si Que and the imperial physician both have limited perspectives and it's difficult for them to know the whole story. It's likely that Chu Wuji knows the most details...
The old imperial physician completed his mission and secretly ran away when he saw that the time was almost up.
Before running away, he gave Chu Wuzhi a medicine bottle, and sealed the bottle mouth tightly with beeswax.
"What is this?" Chu Wuji asked.
"I heard you went to the martial arts academy to compete, asking for the Black Jade Soul-Restoring Pill, right? This is it!"
"Isn't it said that it's only in the national treasury? Old imperial physician, you stole something from the national treasury."
"Go to hell! Don't smear me. I'm too old to handle this!"
After the old imperial physician finished cursing angrily, he explained the origin of the pill.
It turned out that when the Black Jade Soul-Restoring Pill was refined, only the best quality ones were selected and stored in the national treasury, that is, those "high-quality" pills with round and smooth surfaces.
The one in the old imperial physician's hand has the same medicinal properties, but there is a small dent on the surface of the pill, so it can only be regarded as a "defective product" and cannot be put into the national treasury.
"If your mother becomes ill again in the future, dissolve this medicine in warm water and feed it to her immediately. This medicine is said to be able to call back the scattered soul and stabilize it within the body."
Why is it said? Because the old imperial physician had never seen a soul with his naked eyes. At least that's how the recipe described the efficacy of the pill.
......
The old imperial physician didn't want to go back to the front hall to work, so he took his crutches and ran away quickly.
Chu Wuzhi continued to work next to the little white tiger, but he was basically chatting with his godmother. Occasionally, he would frown and scold the little white tiger, saying "you don't sit properly", to show that he was doing his job conscientiously.
Ning Xianzhi had just met with the queen, princess and others, and had a general idea of how to help Chu Wuji "redeem himself".
She first helped Chu Wuji pay off a debt with Princess Yaoer and said, "Princess Yaoer, do you like cats?"
The girl with a round face pointed at the cats in the courtyard and said in a sweet voice, "Of course I like them. Aunt Bai, which one do you like? I'll call it over for you to hug. Cats are so smart."
Ning Xianzhi smiled and said, "The cat is not as cute as Princess Yao'er."
Wen Yaoer smiled happily and moved closer to Ning Xianzhi: "Then let Aunt Bai hug me~"
Ning Xianzhi was really surprised. Was it because the Jing'an Palace raised this little girl to be simple and kind, or was it because of Chu Wuji that this little girl was so close to him?
People from wealthy families are most likely to develop arrogant personalities, and the worst of these playboys are often responsible for murders.
Ning Xianzhi touched the girl's head and said:
"I can teach Princess Yao'er the 'Beast Listening Technique'. Maybe she can understand the cat's words."
"Really?" The little princess' eyes lit up and she hugged her aunt tightly with her pink arms.
"I just noticed that Empress Wen and Princess Jing'an have shoulder strains and can be treated. Princess Yao'er, can you take me to see them later?"
"Of course I can. I'd like to thank Aunt Bai on behalf of my mother and aunt. And Aunt Bai, please stop calling yourself a 'common woman'. It's too distant~!"
Chu Wuji asked curiously, "Mom, the imperial physician didn't see it, but you did?"
Ning Xianzhi didn't elaborate: "Of course, this is a question only a few women know. How can an imperial physician know everything?"
*
In the tea room,
Empress Wen and Princess Jing'an sat opposite each other, their sitting postures similar, both placing their plump breasts on the small tea table.
The chessboard-sized tabletop was almost half occupied by the two women's breasts.
Empress Wen said with an expression that showed she was concerned about her family:
"Chu Wuji has a good character. He has done this for my godmother, so it's impeccable... The women's courtyard cannot be freely walked by outsiders. I want to adopt him as my adopted son, which can also help Yao'er avoid trouble. What do you think?"
Chapter 38: Gifting the Lady the Art of Sex
Ning Xianzhi taught the little princess a method of drawing talismans. This "Listening to Beasts" spell was not really a high-level spell. It could only be used for listening but not for communication. Its level was not much different from Lu Ban's spell.
But if you encounter an animal with higher intelligence, it can still understand human language directly.
She folded the talisman she had drawn into a small triangle shape and asked Wen Yaoer to put it in the sachet.
"Next time you want to hear a cat talk, try holding this talisman between your eyebrows. Put it back into the sachet when not in use. If you're worried about losing it, you can try to memorize the talisman's pattern and draw it yourself later."
After hearing this, Princess Yaoer couldn't wait to try it out, and sure enough, she heard the sounds of many small animals.
Crows in the sky: [Today I took a shit high up in the sky and landed on a passerby's head. How happy!]
Big Orange Cat: [The Cow Cat is really not very smart. He actually provoked the Silver Tabby Cat over there. Fortunately, the Silver Tabby Cat has a good temper.]
Tabby Cat: [One doesn't know how weak he is, and the other doesn't know how strong he is.]
Little White Tiger: [What a vicious male biped! The cat food he gave me is not fresh.]
Princess Yaoer had a wonderful expression on her face. She hadn't expected that these little animals were so lively with each other!
She said to the little white tiger seriously: "Little white tiger, you can't say bad things about Brother Chu. Did he save you from the black bear's mouth?"
The little white tiger was stunned and jumped to Princess Yaoer's side. He looked at her with a fierce look, wondering how she could understand what he said.
Chu Wuji's focus was not on the "Listening to the Beast Decree". He didn't understand where his godmother took out the talisman paper from. He walked around the woman but couldn't find any clues.
The godmother's cloth skirt had no special design. There was only a belt at the waist, which outlined her slender and soft figure. The skirt was loose, and her legs could not be seen swinging when she walked, but her plump and round ripe peaches still supported the vague outline of her charm.
Shouldn't the simple clothes be able to hide talismans?
Suddenly, Princess Yao'er's mind became a little dazed, her feet felt weak, and she was about to fall. Chu Wuji, who was standing beside her, reacted quickly and hurriedly supported her. The girl's delicate body was soft and boneless, and when they leaned against each other, they felt warm and soft.
Chu Wuji ignored his previous doubts and asked quickly, "Godmother, what's going on?"
Ning Xianzhi reminded her, "Princess Yao'er, you heard too many animal noises just now. This is a burden. Next time, remember to focus your attention on one particular animal and don't let your ears wander!"
Her slender hands were hidden behind her back, secretly casting a spell to help the girl calm her mind and concentrate.
Princess Yao'er recovered quickly, but found herself being held by Chu Wuji. She pretended that she had not recovered yet and continued to lie dazed against Chu Wuji's broad chest, occasionally opening her bright eyes to peek, and then quickly closing them again.
Chu Wuji was still worried that if he made the most favored little princess uncomfortable in the palace, it would be troublesome. As a result, he suddenly saw the girl peeking, and then he understood what was going on.
Really like a cunning kitten~!
In the corner of Chu Wuji's sight, a kitten was scratching its chin with its front paws. On a whim, he also tried to touch Princess Yaoer's tender chin.
The little princess was originally pretending to be dizzy with a frown on her face, but after Chu Wuji teased her chin for a while, her face unconsciously became red, her eyes narrowed comfortably, and she looked relaxed and enjoying herself.
Ning Xianzhi smiled faintly and said, "Were you really a cat in your previous life?"
Princess Yaoer woke up in shock and began to play dumb, pretending nothing had happened.
Chu Wuji took the initiative to find a topic to help her ease the embarrassment, saying: "Princess Yao'er, this is the Prince Jing'an's Mansion, why have I never met Prince Jing'an?"
"He's out, saying he's meeting some uncles who were given fiefs outside the capital. Every year after the New Year, he leaves the capital with them. He's been doing this for the past three years. If he were back home, he definitely wouldn't let me keep so many cats. Every year at the end of the year, I have to hide them away!"
It is rare for a prince to be away from home all year round, but there is nothing wrong with it.
Prince Jing'an was an idle prince, with no fiefdom and no real power, so he could do whatever he wanted.
The little princess complained about her father's restriction on her raising a cat. She didn't want to talk about it anymore. She turned to look at Ning Xianzhi and asked:
"Aunt Bai, you just said that my mother and aunt...are feeling unwell?"
"Yes, Princess Yaoer, can you take me there?"
Wen Yaoer naturally nodded in agreement. She stood up and wanted to pull Chu Wuzhi along, but Chu Wuzhi didn't dare to follow her.
"Even the imperial physician has a condition that is inconvenient to mention. How can I go with him? I'll just stay here and look after the little white tiger."
"Okay then, I'll come play with Brother Chu later!"
*
In the tea room,
Princess Jing'an looked at Queen Wen strangely. She did not rush to refute, but thought for a moment before analyzing:
"How reckless! Do you know your own status? You're the Queen Mother, a figure like the Empress Dowager. How can you just take in an adopted son?"
Empress Wen felt annoyed when she heard this description. When she married into the palace, she was about the same age as Yao'er is now, but she had no clear understanding of the concepts of empress and legal wife, and suddenly she was told that she became a widow.
If it weren't for such a rare incident in the inheritance of the throne of Lihuo Kingdom, Queen Wen would now be Queen Dowager Wen.
She has been in the deep palace for more than ten years and can only go home to visit her family once every five or six years. She feels like she is isolated from the world. She has not had the time or opportunity to experience anything, but her generation title has been rising rapidly!
It was also because of her own experience that Queen Wen was so fascinated by the world of the past, and placed too many free and unrestrained emotions in it.
"Princess, you have a daughter, but I am alone. My only hope in the palace every day is for Yao'er to come and chat with me. If Chu Wuji doesn't have a decent status, he will easily attract gossip if he spends too much time with Yao'er!"
When Princess Jing'an heard that she even used the title of "this palace", she knew that Queen Wen was serious.
But many things are not that simple, and we also have to consider some subsequent impacts.
In the future, if Empress Lihuo no longer wants to be in power and wants to pass the throne, and Empress Wen becomes the queen mother, isn't that equivalent to finding a commoner to be the sworn brother of the new emperor?
If I had explained the rules to Chu Wuji in advance and told him that as his adopted son, he is not allowed to participate in future competitions to avoid causing trouble.
That would seem like he was on guard against thieves, and he would start to show his power to others as soon as he recruited them into the palace.
Why bother?
The two discussed for a while, and finally Queen Wen chose to give in.
Let’s not talk about adopting him as an adopted son for the time being. Let’s wait until Chu Wuji stays in the mansion for some time. When the time is right, we can reconsider this matter.
"Mother, Aunt, are you here?"
Wen Yaoer took Ning Xianzhi's hand and came to the tea room. She first showed off the "Listening to Beasts Technique" she had just obtained, and talked about the magic of small animals chatting, and then talked about treatment.
Ning Xianzhi was waiting quietly by the side and could feel the intelligence of this little girl.
If I had mentioned the treatment directly, the two ladies would probably have had some doubts. However, if I first mentioned the power of the "Listening to the Beast Technique" to prove her ability, and then brought up the treatment, it would have gone much more smoothly.
Princess Jing'an looked at the talisman her daughter received in surprise and asked curiously:
"I don't mean anything else. Madam Bai knows all these amazing things, so why can't she handle her own illness? Seeing Wu Ji running around everywhere, I feel so sorry for him."
Ning Xianzhi sighed:
"A doctor cannot heal himself. The various medical skills learned after birth cannot solve the defects left by birth."
The two beautiful ladies did not ask any further questions, but just said "thank you" and waited for her to perform her medical skills.
Ning Xianzhi helped the two of them stand up, opened up the meridians on their backs to dissolve the blockages accumulated around their shoulders from years of heavy burdens, and then used the "inner observation method" to examine the conditions of various parts of their bodies to eliminate some minor ailments that could become hidden dangers.
Many of the techniques involved are not something that ordinary disciples on the mountain can perform. Forcibly helping others will only harm them, but Ning Xianzhi is the master of a peak and has his own attainments in understanding many techniques, which are unmatched by ordinary practitioners.
During their treatment, Empress Wen and Princess Jing'an felt that their bodies had become much lighter, especially their upper bodies, and they felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off their shoulders.
If they hadn't been unable to see their toes when they lowered their heads, they would have almost thought that the two lumps of flesh had disappeared.
Empress Wen exclaimed in amazement, "Now I realize that it's not that I didn't feel tired before, but I was numb and accustomed to it, and I didn't know I was tired."
Ning Xianzhi took out a manual from somewhere and said:
