When Hua Mujin was ten years old, he had indeed suffered from a serious illness, but as for the reason, she could not remember it at all.
The kiss Bai Zhanke gave his just now reminded her of everything he had forgotten.
When Hua Mujin was ten years old back then, it was not because she was sick, but because she had touched the zither string. She had completely lost all consciousness, and the next time she woke up, she had already been transported into this body.
As for Hua Mujin who was on the sickbed, even the doctors did not know why she was unconscious and could not detect any reason.
However, when she returned to the modern world, she had completely forgotten about it.
Even Bai Zhanke from her youth had been forgotten.
"It's good that you're fine, Jin. Believe me, I will give you a peaceful and prosperous Huan Yue Nation, I promise!"
Giving me the Huan Yue Nation of a peaceful and prosperous world?
Hua Mujin's tears became smiles, if it was anyone else who said these words, she would definitely scold that person for thinking too much.
But, when Bai Zhanke said this, Hua Mujin did not believe him at all.
"Yes, I'll wait. But you, wait for me as well. I will definitely come see you again in the future. "
After Hua Mujin finished her sentence, her body suddenly released a light blue light aura, and the original owner's body, Hua Mujin, lost consciousness and closed her eyes.
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
Before Hua Mujin's consciousness had completely dissipated, these were the last words Bai Zhanke had said to her.
"..."
"Bai Zhanke, Bai Zhanke..."
Huan Yue Nation, General's Estate.
On the bed, Hua Mujin who had been in a coma finally had a trace of consciousness.
Although she was conscious, she did not open her eyes. Instead, she shouted out Bai Zhanke's name.
"Brother Wang, Brother Wang, Miss Jin seems to be waking up. Brother Wang …"
The person who had always been by Hua Mujin's side, was Mu Yuze.
Originally, they had planned to leave the Huan Yue Nation to return to the Southern Kingdom, but because of Hua Mujin's sudden coma, their plans to return to their country was delayed.
Seeing Hua Mujin, who was frowning and calling Bai Zhanke's name on the bed, Mu Yuze shouted loudly. After hearing Mu Yuze's voice, Mu Xuanli also rushed in.
"How is it, is the girl going to wake up?"
Mu Xuanli checked Hua Mujin's pulse, and then placed her hand on the bed.
"Un, my consciousness is gradually recovering, seems like the medicine from the Southern Goblin Tribe called Snowfall has taken effect, you take care of her first, but I haven't found the spirit grass yet. The Gu worm in the girl's body is still active, I don't know when it will flutter around, I need to research the medicine to suppress the Cold Poison in her body, and I'll depend on you to take care of her."
Although Luo Xue said that there was a way to force the Gu worm out of Hua Mujin's body, but she was not a doctor, and was only a Gu worm master, and she still needed Mu Xuanli to find a way to cure it.
"Alright, leave it to me. I will take good care of her."
Turning his head, Mu Xuanli saw that Hua Mujin was still frowning on the bed and sighed.
"This girl hopes that she will be lucky. With so many of us, it's not in vain for her to break her heart."
Mu Yuze shook the little girl, and sighed as well.
"Fortunately, the Huan Yue Emperor had a deep affection for her, so in order to look for medicine, he hasn't even gone to court for three days. I heard from General Shangguan that some of the ministers also had an opinion on the matter. I don't know whether or not you have found the Spirit Grass, but if you have, I would actually like for him to quickly come over and take a look at the girl. "
Hua Mujin had been in a coma for three days and three nights. During these three days, in order to search for medicine, Bai Zhanke released the Imperial List. Anyone who could provide medicinal ingredients would be able to receive rich rewards, and this was also because the medicinal ingredients arrived rather quickly.
On the other hand, Bai Zhanke was a little surprised by Mu Yuze and Mu Xuanli. That was, as long as it was the medicine mentioned by Miss Luo Xue, Bai Zhanke would collect them all.
"I heard that today, he is going to court, and this time, he should be going to court soon. We don't even have the right to care about this Huan Yue Nation, it's better that you take good care of the little girl."
With that, Mu Xuanli did not linger and left the room.
Even though Hua Mujin had called out Bai Zhanke's name for a long time, she still did not manage to wake up in the end.
When it was noon, Shangguan Yi returned to the General's Estate after leaving the imperial court. However, looking at his expression, it was as if he had suffered some sort of provocation in the imperial court, making him look extremely ugly.
"What's wrong? General Shangguan. "
Lifting his eyes, Shangguan Yi looked at Mu Yuze and sighed.
"What else can we do? That fellow, he suddenly went to court this morning, and said that he will abolish the Three Palaces and Six Academies, and all his concubines in the imperial harem will be sent back home. If they are unwilling to return home, then we will give them some money and live their own lives in the Li Palace."
Abolish the Three Palaces and Six Academies?
Mu Yuze was a little shocked, this Bai Zhanke actually dared to abolish the harem?
"Tell me, what is he thinking? Although those women from the harem were hateful, they were either the daughters of ministers in the harem or the sisters of ministers. How could those ministers agree for him to suddenly abolish the harem? Yet, this guy directly captured those ministers who were against him and threw them into the Sky Prison. If this goes on, I'm afraid this Huan Yue Nation is … "
Mu Yuze knew what Shangguan Yi wanted to say. If his subject was unstable, the people's hearts would naturally be in chaos. If the people's hearts were to be in chaos, this country would not be far from being destroyed.
"This sort of thing has happened in the Southern Domain before."
Yes, indeed, it had happened in the Southern Kingdom.
That was two or three hundred years ago, and it was also after the abolition of the harem that the Southern Kingdom gradually became a trade secret that other countries sought, and the secret that other countries discovered was that of the woman who became queen after the abolition of the harem.
"Ah?" Your Highness, you mean the royal family of the Southern Kingdom once had three thousand beauties from the three palaces and six courtyards? "
Mu Yuze laughed, and nodded: "Of course, so on this matter, General Shangguan does not need to be so worried. Although Huan Yue Emperor looks a little cold, since he has done so, he is definitely confident in stabilizing the hearts of ministers and citizens. "
Shangguan Yi had always been curious, as there had always been only one Empress in the Southern Kingdom in his memories. He had never heard of any emperors taking a concubine, but he never thought that this matter would actually have such a past.
Likely, that monarch back then must have loved that empress very much. That was the reason why the imperial harem was abolished.
Thinking about that, Shangguan Yi looked at Hua Mujin who was on the bed, and suddenly understood the reason why Bai Zhanke abolished the harem.
"I hope so. I don't know when she will wake up."
With regards to abolishing the harem, Bai Zhanke seemed to have made sufficient preparations. Not long after, the ministers who were imprisoned in the Sky Prison were released one after another, and their positions were still the same.
What was even weirder was that the concubines in the harem were all willing to leave the harem. None of them made a fuss about staying.
This matter had become a matter of Huan Yue Nation, causing people to be suspicious of it, but to be unable to find an answer.
In the evening, after Bai Zhanke finished handling the government affairs, he came to the General's Estate.
He also found the last herb, the 'Spirit Recovering Grass'. Although there was only one, Snowfall said, one was enough.
"This is the first time that I've seen a person, as a ruler, doing this for the woman I love deeply."
Towards Bai Zhanke, Falling Snow was full of admiration and respect.
At the same time, he was also very envious and jealous.
"However, the rest of the herbs that you collected have filled up the entire room with General's Estate. Didn't I tell you before, how much do you want?"
To tell the truth, when Snowfall saw the room full of medicinal herbs, he was so shocked that his eyeballs almost popped out of his eye sockets.
"The rest, give it to Shangguan Yi."
"…"
"Why are you giving it to me? It's not like I'm sick, nor have I been poisoned by someone, leaving behind a house that will only take over my General's Estate. You should bring it back to the Imperial Palace yourself, I don't need that."
Although Shangguan Yi said that, Bai Zhanke did not bother with him.
Bai Zhanke walked to the side of the bed and caressed Hua Mujin's face with her hands.
"When will she wake up?"
"He won't wake up for the time being. Unless the Gu worm is completely forced out of his body, he'll be unconscious for as long as he does."
The Gu worm would only wake up if it was forced out of the body, Snowfall's answer.
Bai Zhanke frowned, worry emerging on his face.
"Don't worry, since we have already found the Spirit Returning Grass, there is no reason for us to fail. If we cannot force the Gu worm, my name as the Southern Wilderness' little Gu Maiden will have been called for nothing."
Seeing Bai Zhanke's worry, Snowfall's words gave him a peace of mind.
"However, since we have all the ingredients, if we want to force the Gu worm out, one of you will have to use all your Qi to help us. Who do you think will be the one to do that?"
"Here I come."
Just as Snowfall's words fell, Bai Zhanke opened his mouth.
His tone was firm, Mu Yuze and Mu Xuanli looked at each other and left the room.
Shangguan Yi looked at Bai Zhanke, a look of disappointment flashing across his face, and then, he also withdrew himself.
"Since she has already decided, let's help her take off her clothes. Right, there isn't a single one left. Take it all off, okay?"
Falling Snow raised her eyebrows, as if she was teasing Bai Zhanke. However, her attempt to tease Bai Zhanke did not succeed, because Bai Zhanke seemed to be extremely calm and collected.
"How boring."
Looking at Bai Zhanke who was in such a state, Snowfall, after saying "uninteresting", turned around and started to flip through the herbs.
"What should I do?"
By the side of the table, Snowfall was pouring out medicinal ingredients. He raised his head to look at Bai Zhanke, who did not know what to do, and shook his head with a chuckle.
"Her body is ice-cold, probably caused by the Cold Poison in her body, so you have to first use your Qi to warm her body, and when her body is warm, the Gu worm in her body will also become active, and at that time, it will be the best time to force out this Gu worm."
Hearing that, Bai Zhanke took off all of Hua Mujin's clothes, including his inner clothes.
Then, he climbed onto the bed and started channeling his Qi into Hua Mujin.
