Seeing this, Murong Xian asked the witch doctor beside him: "What's wrong with him?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness. Young Master Xiao is fine now. He's just not fully awake yet. Let him rest and have a good sleep."
As the witch doctor spoke, he took out a yellow talisman and drew a sleeping talisman. He hummed something for a while, burned the talisman paper, and then added water to it for Xiao Chengjun to drink.
Xiao Chengjun drank the magic water and lay down again and fell asleep.
Yingbao just felt it was magical, and suddenly an idea came to her mind, why not specialize in the art of incantation.
She looked at the small bamboo tubes hanging around the witch doctor's waist, and guessed that they were filled with various medicinal potions. Then, through sacrifices, prayers, talismans, psychological suggestion and other means, the witch doctor would make the patient believe that his or her illness had been eliminated or transferred to another place.
This suggestion will indeed give some patients the illusion that their condition is improving, so they relax and their mood becomes relaxed. Combined with medication, their body naturally gets better.
And her Wudingzhi combined with medicinal materials happens to have magical effects on many diseases.
The more Yingbao thought about it, the more she felt that the Zhuyou technique was tailor-made for her. It was absolutely perfect for her.
"I want to be a forbidden spell master in the future." She said to the two witch doctors seriously, "Where can I buy relevant books?"
The two forbidden spell masters had also heard of this six-year-old boy, and said with a smile: "If you really want to learn, you can take us as your master."
Yingbao was a little embarrassed: "But I still have to go home and can't stay in the capital for long."
A forbidden spell master said, "It's easy to buy books. They are sold in the calligraphy and painting workshops in the capital. However, those are the simplest spells. If you want to learn advanced ones, you need to become a disciple."
Ying Bao bowed to him and said, "Thank you for telling me, but I have to wait until I get home to discuss it with my parents before I can decide whether to become your disciple."
I just want to learn some basic skills to fool people. As for the advanced forbidden spells, I'd better take my time.
Murong Xian smiled and said, "I have some books on spells. I'll ask someone to find a few for you later."
"That's great!" Yingbao thanked happily: "Thank you, Your Highness."
After seeing off the two witch doctors, Yingbao began to pack her things and prepare to leave the palace the next day.
As she sorted, she found that she had a lot of things to take away, three big boxes in total.
Not counting his own clothing boxes, there were two boxes of silks and satins bestowed by the empress, as well as tools for making wax shells presented by Yao Yuanzheng.
Later, Murong Xian also sent someone to deliver some cloth, fifty taels of gold, and a box of books.
Yingbao opened the book, which contained the spells for warding off diseases from the four branches of the Zhuyou School.
A book illustrating the talismans used for bone jams, malaria, burns from hot water or fire, ringworm, infantile convulsions, dog and snake bites, fat sores, carbuncles, etc.
The second book tells of the four categories of treatment and one sect, that is, the universal spells for each category.
The rest is divided into the talismans used in the major and minor meridians.
Generally speaking, the content of Zhuyou science is mainly about forbidden spells and drawing talismans, and the spells and talismans for treating each disease are different, which makes people dazzling at first glance.
But don’t worry, you can read and learn these slowly by yourself.
On the second day, Yingbao got up early and said goodbye to King Dai.
Murong Xian did not try to keep her and had her escorted out of the palace.
Before leaving, Ying Bao hesitated for a long time, but still took out two porcelain bottles from her bag and stuffed them into the King of Dai's pockets. "This is a fitness potion. Drink a big sip every day before going to bed. It can strengthen your body."
The amount in these two porcelain bottles is estimated to be enough for him to drink for two months. By then, the weak Dai Wang should be able to be full of energy.
Murong Xian held the porcelain bottle and smiled, "Thank you, Yingbao. I will do as you say."
Yingbao got on the carriage and looked up to see a person standing not far away. It was Xiao Chengjun who had already recovered.
He was tall and straight, with a handsome appearance, and his bean green gauze robe fluttering in the wind. He was looking at me with a serious gaze.
Behind him, next to the willow tree, Chen Tiantian, who was dressed in a palace maid's outfit, had flickering eyes, and it was unknown what she was thinking.
Yingbao frowned and waved to King Dai.
Murong Xian didn't understand why, but he still took a few steps forward and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Ying Bao whispered, "Your Highness, you have just recovered, so you should be careful with your food. It would be bad if someone drugged you or something."
Murong Xian smiled: "Don't worry, no one dares to harm me."
"You can't say that." Ying Bao covered her mouth with a glove and whispered in Murong Xian's ear: "You have to be careful of Xiao Chengjun and Chen Tiantian. I think there's something wrong with them. Well, what if you get poisoned again..."
Yingbao took out another porcelain bottle with a painful look on her face: "Use this to detoxify."
Murong Xian took the porcelain bottle and nodded: "I understand."
Yingbao sat back in the carriage and waved at him, "I'm leaving now. Oh, by the way, Sister Chang is a very nice person, you must help me take good care of her and don't let anyone bully her."
"Don't worry." Murong Xian also waved at her: "I'll wait for the day when your brother goes to Beijing to take the exam."
"OK."
The carriage gradually drove towards the gate of the East Palace. Yingbao looked back one last time and saw Murong Xian still standing at the gate of the palace looking over here, while in the side hall where she lived, Chang Xiu was kneeling on the ground, covering her face and crying.
Yingbao sighed and glanced at the little hedgehog in the bamboo basket.
She could take the hedgehog away, but she couldn't take Sister Chang Xiu away. After this separation, she didn't know when they would meet again.
But before I left, I gave her twenty pills. As long as she is alive and healthy, we will meet again one day.
The carriage went all the way to the Xiao Mansion. Because there was a eunuch driving the car, the servants of the Xiao Mansion hurried over to help move things.
There were four or five boxes of various sizes. This time when she went to the palace, Yingbao really returned with a full load.
The box was brought into the guest house, and Xu Chunniang hurried out to greet her daughter.
The mother and daughter hadn't seen each other for more than 20 days, and when they met again it felt like a lifetime ago.
"Bao'er, did you suffer in that place? Did anyone bully you?" Chun Niang touched her daughter's face and asked, "Is the nobleman's illness healed?"
Chunniang didn't know that her daughter had gone to the palace, and thought she was treating a noble in the capital.
"No one bullies me." Yingbao sat down on the chair: "The nobleman's illness has been cured, and he has allowed us to go home."
"Really?" Chunniang was overjoyed when she heard it. "Then when are we going back?"
Yingbao: "We need to ask Xiao Mo first. After all, he is the one who brought us here, and he should be responsible for our return. I estimate that we can leave the day after tomorrow at the latest."
"That's great." Chunniang has been extremely anxious these days. Not only is she worried about her daughter, but she also misses her husband and son very much.
Yingbao: "Mom, let's go to the West Market in the capital before we go back. I want to buy some things to bring back."
"Okay, then let's go to West Market in the afternoon." Chunniang didn't want to stay here for a day.
Yingbao scratched his head and said, "I guess I won't be able to make it in the afternoon. Maybe tomorrow."
They were guests of the Xiao Mansion, and had to inform the host before entering or leaving, otherwise it would be considered impolite.
Chunniang nodded repeatedly.
As soon as her daughter came back, she seemed to have found a backbone. She just had to listen to her daughter in everything and no longer had to worry about anything.
There are so many rules in the Duke's Mansion that Chunniang doesn't know what to do. Fortunately, the two maids reminded her during the time when her daughter was away, so she didn't act rudely or embarrass herself.
As the mother and daughter were talking, Chen Zhao came in from outside and greeted Yingbao awkwardly: "Yingbao, you're back."
Yingbao nodded: "Yeah."
During the days when she was away, Chen Zhao stayed with A Niang, and the two got along quite harmoniously.
Based on this alone, Yingbao decided to be more polite to Chen Zhao.
