Chapter 69 - Medicinal Pills
A Yao asked curiously: "What story?"
Zhao Chen was quiet for a moment, then said: "Do you know about the martial arts world?"
"Of course!" A Yao nodded.
"Even though I was born in the imperial palace, even though I am the crown prince of the Song Dynasty, I have always yearned to live in the martial world! I hope that I can become a wulin master, and rely on the sword in my hands to walk the world bravely! " Zhao Chen laughed.
This was his dream, his dream since he was a child! In the modern world, he had such dreams! After coming to this era, he had learnt martial arts. He thought that he could realize this dream, but now this dream was shattered once again!
"Life in the martial arts world might not be as beautiful as Your Highness imagined!" A Yao chuckled.
"Maybe... But I really look forward to the life of the martial arts world! Today, I will tell you a story about the martial arts world! You are a girl, and as a maid in the Cao family, you should not have come into contact with the real martial arts world. Listen to this story of the martial arts world with me! This story also happened in Jiangnan! "In the south of the Yangtze River, outside Hangzhou, there is a village called Niu Family Village. It's winter …" Zhao Chen began to slowly explain.
He was telling the story of "Legend of the Condor Hero" that was passed down throughout the world!
As he slowly spoke, it was as if he had become one with the story! A Yao who was beside them was also listening intently!
Zhao Chen's body had not recovered yet, so he had to take a break from every lecture! And at this time, A Yao was gently massaging him, making him feel better!
"Your Highness, then where did Guo Jingli go after leaving Mongolia? Why didn't Princess Hua Ji leave with him? " A Yao said.
"He went to the Zhang Family's residence!" Princess Hua Ji was a princess after all. She still hadn't married Guo Jing, so naturally, she couldn't leave with him! Have you heard of the Zhang Family? " Zhao Chen said.
A Yao shook her head.
"The Zhang Clan is a city in the north! Well, let's go on! Guo Jing was riding on a small red horse at an extremely fast speed. He was a little tired at the Zhang family's entrance, so he ended up eating at a hotel … " Zhao Chen continued to speak!
As he spoke, it took him a full seven days to finish his lecture on 'Legend of the Hero of the Eagles'!
After he finished speaking, Zhao Chen heaved a long sigh. These were the martial arts novels he had read in the modern world, and also the source of his dreams of becoming a martial arts master! Unfortunately, his dream was shattered. From now on, he could only reflect on these novels! He would never be able to realize the martial arts dream!
"Your Highness, is there really such a senior expert in the martial arts world?" A Yao asked curiously.
"Of course not! This is just a story! " Zhao Chen laughed.
"But... This really doesn't seem like a story! " A Yao said.
In this era, there were no real wuxia novels, and most of the novels in this era were based on true history! Most of the characters in the novels came from historical figures! For such a grand and completely fake wuxia novel, if Zhao Chen said that it was completely fake, A Yao would definitely not believe it!
"What kind of martial arts is that Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms? It's so powerful!" A Yao asked again.
"That was a martial arts in the story. It was fabricated!" Zhao Chen laughed.
A Yao sat there in a daze, just not believing it!
Her face was extremely beautiful, and every movement and smile she made was incomparably moving. Just sitting there like this was incomparably moving! Zhao Chen was only 11 years old at the moment, but his heart was moved from seeing it. He couldn't help but hold A Yao's hand! A Yao turned and smiled at him!
"Actually, the story isn't finished yet. There are still a lot of things to come! "Wait until tomorrow, I'll continue my lecture!" Zhao Chen said again.
"That's right!" Guo Jing and Huang Rong were going to get married and have children! Although Yang Kang had died, his son Yang Zhou had survived! "Next, let me tell you Yang's story!" Zhao Chen said.
"Alright!" A Yao nodded.
"I'm tired today. I need to lie down for a while!" Zhao Chen said.
He closed his eyes and slowly fell into a deep sleep! Although his body had recovered a lot these days, he was still very tired. Just speaking a little more was enough for him to want to fall asleep!
Zhao Chen was already fast asleep, while the young girl, A Yao, was cleaning up the room!
She wiped down everything in the room, including the desk, the cabinet, the bed, and even the very hidden areas behind the curtains! From time to time, she would look around the room as if searching for something!
She only stopped after an hour had passed. Doubt could be seen in her eyes!
"Master said that the item must be in the Han Palace! "However, I've already been here for more than 20 days, but I still haven't found that item!"
"Master is probably exceptionally anxious right now! From the looks of it, that item might not even be in the palace! Perhaps, His Highness had already given that item to someone else to keep! Your Highness also doesn't have that thing on you! "
"We can't stay in the Han palace any longer!" I need to immediately go back and tell Master about this and tell him to search for me elsewhere! "
A Yao stood there in a daze. After a while, she arrived in front of Zhao Chen!
Looking at Zhao Chen's sleeping face, A Yao revealed a gentle expression!
"Master said that the Crown Prince was born of a noble family, his personality must be extremely arrogant and unfriendly! Master was wrong again! Although the Crown Prince had a noble background, he had a very good temper! I am only a little maid, and he is so kind to me! All these years, apart from Master, no one else has treated me this well! He also said that he would help me find my mother and brother! "
"You are severely injured, mainly because of the damage to your internal organs! Luckily I still have the White Lotus Holy Elixir in my hand, today I'll give it to you to consume! Master had spent 10 years traveling through the Central Plains, South Sky, Extreme North, and South Sea, and had even collected 749 heavenly materials to make this Holy Elixir! Originally, Master wanted me to enter the Houtian ninth stage and take this pill, then step into the Xiantian realm in one fell swoop! But now I've decided to give it to you! This White Lotus Holy Elixir is also extremely good for healing wounds, it might be able to cure your injuries! "
A Yao took out a porcelain bottle from her bosom. With a gentle pinch of her hand, the bottle shattered and a pure white pill the size of a pinky finger appeared in her hand! After thinking about it, she opened Zhao Chen's mouth and placed the white pill into it! The pill dissolved when it entered his mouth, and she could no longer see it!
A Yao's face revealed a smile, as though she was extremely happy!
"Alright!" Your Highness, goodbye! I have taken care of you for so many days, and I have also heard you tell a very good story! It's a pity that Master must be worried, otherwise I will have to listen to the next part of the story! "
"You are the Crown Prince of the Song Dynasty, I am just a woman from the martial world, and one of the devils at that! In the future, I'm afraid we will never meet again! "
Thinking of this, a hint of disappointment appeared on her face!
She turned around and left the room, and after greeting Wang Gui and Zhang Xian outside, she rushed off into the distance!
Yet, she did not see that Zhao Chen's face had already turned deathly gray …
The sky had already darkened, the young girl A Yao was no longer in the Han Palace! So much so, that she is no longer in Hanzhong City!
At this moment, she had already arrived more than ten miles south of Hanzhong City. There was a bamboo forest here, she had entered the bamboo forest!
Within the bamboo forest were a few small houses. In the darkness of the night, there was a light here!
Seeing the light, A Yao cheered!
She quickly rushed forward!
When he arrived in front of a house, the door was open. He saw a bamboo bed inside the house and a woman sitting cross-legged on it! The lady was dressed in black, with a veil covering her face, her figure was graceful, who else could she be other than the Infernal Queen?
"Greetings, Master!" A Yao knelt on the ground, her face was filled with joy!
"Did you find the Imperial Jade Seal?" The Infernal Queen said indifferently.
"Master, this disciple has already searched the Han Palace for a long time, but was unable to find the Imperial Jade Seal! At least, there is no such thing by the crown prince's side! " A Yao said.
Infernal Queen frowned slightly, and asked with some doubt: "Could it be that the Imperial Jade Seal is placed beside the other ministers? Maybe the little prince was hiding somewhere else? "
"Master, could this news be wrong?" Perhaps, when His Highness came out, he did not bring any Imperial Jade Seal with him! " A Yao said.
"That's also possible! No matter what, I have to look for him in the Hanzhong City! Then, Li Gang, Zhe Keqiu and the rest, they could also be controlling the Imperial Jade Seal! Maybe the little prince had given the Imperial Jade Seal to them! This little prince is only eleven years old and does not understand the value of Imperial Jade Seal. Infernal Queen said.
"Master, you often say that the Song Dynasty is our greatest enemy! The emperor of the Song Dynasty enslaved the citizens and harmed the whole world, so we will rebel against them! But when you're with His Highness, I don't think he's a bad guy! " A Yao said softly.
"He's just a ten-year old child. He still doesn't know how to be bad … Right, did you give that White Lotus Pellet to him to swallow? " Infernal Queen said.
"Ah?" How did Master know? " A Yao said in shock.
"I always knew that you were kind-hearted. Seeing how that little prince was still alive, you must have felt pity for him. It would only be normal for you to give him the White Lotus Holy Pellet!" The Infernal Queen pulled A Yao to her side and asked her to sit down as she smiled.
"Master, you won't blame me, right? Without the White Lotus Holy Pellet, it would be extremely difficult to enter the Innate Realm! " A Yao didn't dare face his Master, afraid that she would scold him.
"Why would I blame you!? Actually, before you left for the Han Palace, I had already exchanged the White Lotus Holy Elixir for it! The medicinal pellet in that porcelain bottle is not the real White Lotus Holy Pellet! " Infernal Queen laughed coquettishly.
"It isn't the White Lotus Holy Pill?" A Yao's face revealed a surprised expression.
"That's a poison pill made from the Seven Hearts Flower!" Infernal Queen said.
"What!" A Yao was momentarily stunned in place, and said. "Master, why did you do this?"
"A few days ago, I thought that I had already beaten the little crown prince to death. Who would have thought that the little crown prince was actually lucky enough to survive! However, he definitely wouldn't be able to live past tonight after swallowing this Poison Pill that was made from the Seven Hearts Flower! One had to know, the Seven Hearts Begonia was the world's most deadly poison, there was no cure for it! He would definitely die if he consumed it! When the Crown Prince of the Great Song Dynasty dies, the world would be in chaos, and then our sect will rise again! Unfortunately, we still haven't found the Imperial Jade Seal! If there is a Imperial Jade Seal, it would be much easier for us to start a fight! " Infernal Queen said.
Just as she finished speaking, A Yao had already stood up and rushed out! As if Infernal Queen had already predicted A Yao's movements, she slightly raised her hand and unleashed a gust of wind from her finger. A Yao immediately stood there, motionless! This was the Infernal Queen using the air space to tap on A Yao's acupoints!
"A Yao, oh A Yao, everything about you is good, it's just that your heart is too kind! You are born with a bewitching body, you don't have to mention that you will have a heavenly beauty in the future, you also have an extremely high talent, and the most suitable for our sect's mental cultivation methods. In the future, you will most likely step into the highest realm of Xiantian Full Circle, but you can't be so kind! Fortunately, you are only thirteen years old, so I can properly teach you and make you change! " The Infernal Queen muttered to himself.
A Yao stood there, her eyes filled with tears!
