Chapter 50 Why not try making one yourself?
"This humble Taoist priest, this humble Taoist priest..."
The Fairy of Supreme Goodness knelt on the ground, her brow pressed against the earth. Her voice trembled, and the hair on her forehead was soaked with cold sweat.
If Lu Yangyang's threat of stepping on her shoulders earlier caused her to panic due to physical pain, then now, kneeling before His Highness the Crown Prince, the fear is penetrating to the bone.
She was really scared.
She feared that if she said the wrong thing, she would be killed on the spot.
"I've heard that the fairy is eloquent and persuasive, so why is it so difficult for her to speak in front of me today?" The crown prince's tone was calm and his expression gentle, making it impossible to discern his emotions.
This made the Fairy Maiden Shangshan even more frightened.
She simply closed her eyes tightly, steeled her heart, and replied in despair, "This humble Taoist is of limited knowledge and dares not show off. This humble Taoist has not seen anything. The illness of the Duchess of the Duke's mansion has nothing to do with feng shui. We need to find another famous doctor to treat her as soon as possible."
After she finished speaking, she felt as if she had been pulled out of the water, so weak that she could barely support herself.
The expressions on the faces of everyone in the Duke's mansion immediately became quite interesting.
If Lu Yangyang's actions just now had a hint of coercion and inducement, and made people wonder if Lu Yangyang really had a very strong fate that would bring misfortune to her family, then now that the Immortal Shangshan has turned against her, it is a blatant slap in the face.
“Is that so? Then the fairy maiden is somewhat overrated. The Empress Dowager has always favored her. If the fairy maiden doesn’t have real skills, it would be better for her to stay in the temple and cultivate in seclusion. Otherwise, if she ever fails to live up to the Emperor’s favor and displeases the Empress Dowager, that would not be appropriate. What do you say, fairy maiden?” the Crown Prince said.
"Yes, yes, Your Highness is absolutely right. This humble Taoist is ignorant and unworthy of the Empress Dowager's kindness. I will definitely cultivate diligently in the future and pray for the Empress Dowager in the temple to repay her grace." The Immortal Shangshan hurriedly replied, "This humble Taoist thanks Your Highness for your guidance. I hope Your Highness will grant me permission. This humble Taoist will go back and cultivate diligently day and night. I will never dare to slack off."
After saying this, Fairy Shangshan tensed up, anxiously awaiting the Crown Prince's response.
The Crown Prince did not reply to her, but instead asked the Duke of Sheng, "What does the Duke think? This is a family matter of the Duke's mansion. The fairy was invited by the Duke, so it is best for the Duke to decide. I have only heard that there is a Miss Lu in your mansion who knows some acupuncture, so I have come to invite her in person to ask her to perform acupuncture on me."
"I have come uninvited, and I hope the Duke will forgive me."
Duke Sheng hurriedly bowed and replied respectfully, "Your Highness is too kind. It is an honor for the younger generation of my household to be valued by Your Highness. The fairy maiden came to my household today because the younger generation of my household was worried about the lady's health. Since the fairy maiden cannot see the problem, then I will order someone to send the fairy maiden back immediately."
After saying that, he immediately ordered, "Someone, escort the fairy back to Qinglian Temple."
The Fairy of Supreme Virtue finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had escaped death.
Upon seeing this, her young disciple hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and together with the servants of the Duke's mansion, they helped her up.
As the Fairy of Virtue passed by Lu Yangyang, she wanted to ask about the condition of her lower back, but in front of the Crown Prince, she dared not say another word and could only lower her head and grit her teeth to hold back.
After the others helped the Fairy of Goodness out of the hall, the Crown Prince instructed the young man in black behind him: "Pei Ji, go and tell Cao Cheng to take my name card and invite the head of the Imperial Hospital to the Duke's mansion to examine the Duchess."
“Yes,” Pei Ji replied.
Upon hearing this, the Duke of Sheng immediately stepped forward to express his gratitude: "On behalf of my wife, I thank His Highness the Crown Prince for his kindness."
The head of the Imperial Medical Academy only sees patients for His Majesty. Without His Majesty's permission, it is not easy for the concubines in the harem to invite him. Only His Highness the Crown Prince can invite him to leave the palace for a consultation with a visiting card.
Everyone else also showed a hint of joy.
Only Sheng Yunzhu kept her head down, tightly twisting the handkerchief in her hand, unsure whether to be glad that she had passed the test of the Fairy of Goodness, or to worry about what might happen if the head of the Imperial Medical Academy came.
"Since there's nothing else, may I ask Miss Lu to come with me?" His Highness the Crown Prince looked at Lu Yangyang.
Lu Yangyang nodded without hesitation: "Of course!"
The Crown Prince smiled and said, "Then let's go. Thank you for your help, Miss Lu."
Pei Ji immediately stepped forward and pushed the Crown Prince's wheelchair out. Once he was out of the hall, Lu Yangyang followed him.
I had only taken two steps when someone suddenly grabbed me.
She turned her head and saw Sheng Junyi, who hadn't said a word.
Last night, she wanted to pack her up and throw her out of the Duke's mansion, but today she pretended it was their first meeting. Lu Yangyang had absolutely no good feelings towards this second young master of the Duke's mansion, who looked like a fox spirit and was extremely dangerous with his light-footed skills.
"What do you want?" Lu Yangyang asked with disgust.
I don't even want to look at him.
"How did you get the injury on your face?" Sheng Junyi asked.
Lu Yangyang rolled her eyes and said in a nonchalant tone, "It was branded on with a branding iron. If you're interested, Second Young Master, why don't you brand one on yourself? I think it looks pretty good. Why don't you give it a try?"
After saying that, he shook off him, turned around, stepped over the threshold, and followed His Highness the Crown Prince.
After Lu Yangyang walked away with His Highness the Crown Prince and Yan Yue, Sheng Yunjiao said sarcastically, "When did Second Brother come back? Yangyang has been back for quite some time now, and only now does Second Brother think of caring? He even poked at her wounds, asking how she got them. Doesn't Second Brother know that when Yangyang was young, some people deliberately branded her face with a hot iron to replace her and threw her into the mountains to fend for herself? If you ask me, some people are shameless. They harmed someone else's daughter and still have the nerve to feel at ease and take it for granted that she stays in someone else's home. It's really laughable."
"Jiaojiao, what nonsense are you talking about? Go to the ancestral hall and copy the family rules a hundred times!" Madam Li was furious and her face turned ashen. She had thought she could send that troublemaker away smoothly, but she never expected that the troublemaker would actually catch the Crown Prince's eye.
What kind of injustice is this?!
In the past, to witness the Crown Prince's presence was a blessing that even eight generations of ancestors couldn't attain. But now, no one knows how many days the Crown Prince has left. This is not a glorious moment; it is a death warrant for the Duke's mansion!
"Yes, Grandmother." Sheng Yunjiao didn't refute at all. Anyway, she was used to it. Sheng Yunzhu had tricked her a lot in the past. Whenever her grandmother punished her, her father would run to her grandmother and cry. In the end, he could only copy a book to get rid of it.
As time went on, she became indifferent to it all.
She was happy whenever she saw Sheng Yunzhu get the short end of the stick.
Sheng Yunjiao left, beaming with delight.
Sheng Junye hesitated for a moment, then followed.
Duke Sheng turned to Sheng Yunzhu, who was standing silently with her eyes down, and said, "If Your Highness is not pleased, please have less contact with Qinglian Temple in the future!"
Sheng Yunzhu stood frozen in place, her face deathly pale.
My fingertips trembled slightly.
Father knew, he knew, that the Fairy of Supreme Kindness was someone she had brought here.
The word "nemesis" was also spread by someone she asked.
