"This is"
"The Fang family's secret ritual, the frozen coffin." Qian Yan came over from the other side and said.
Xia Fan followed the sound and found that not only Qian Yan, but also the head of the Fang family and the old lady were also in the hall.
"This technique is usually used to preserve the bodies of the living dead to prevent them from being harmed by other outsiders when they are recovering from death."
"In other words, it can be lifted at any time?" Xia Fan asked.
"Yes, as long as the formation is reversed, this ice coffin can be completely vaporized in half a day without harming the body of the living dead." Qian Yan nodded, "But it has never been used on ordinary people who sense qi. Therefore, it is unknown what adverse effects it will have on the princess. Her Royal Highness wanted to hold on until you come back, but the situation at that time could not tolerate any delay, so I took it upon myself to freeze her body."
Soon, Xia Fan learned the whole process from the other party.
After Ning Wanjun was sent back to the villa, everyone fell into panic and confusion. The only one who remained calm was the maid Qiuyue. She picked up the princess's waistband and issued a series of orders, including closing the village and asking the Privy Council's magician to come to the village for treatment. After finding that it was ineffective, she asked the Fang family and Penglai for help, and even approached Yu who was in a similar situation. exquisite.
But there was nothing anyone could do.
Seeing Ning Wanjun's injury worsening extremely, Qian Yan took the initiative to step forward and lead the freezing ceremony.
"Her choice is correct." In the silence, Yu Linglong said, "The princess's soul was injured, and traditional treatment has lost its effectiveness. If it was only a minor injury, she might still be able to persist for a long time. But at that time, His Highness The lungs were severely injured, and blood flowed back into the organs, which can be fatal to those who are affected by gas."
Xia Fan looked around. Everyone in the hall looked a little gloomy. More or less, they all heard the news of the victory of Jinxia's left army. Once the two wings were broken, the battle situation was basically settled. However, no one could be happy at this moment. The princess is of royal blood and represents the legal symbol that governs Shenzhou and even the entire Qi Kingdom. Now that she has lost consciousness and is trapped in an ice coffin, the originally bright road has suddenly become hazy again.
Precisely because of Ning Wanjun's importance, the Fang family obviously took a huge risk by daring to take the initiative to use extraordinary measures at this time, using a living dead technique that had never been tested on ordinary alchemists to freeze Princess Guangping.
Perhaps this is the reason why Yu Linglong stood up to speak for Qian Yan.
"Thank you." Xia Fan knelt down and patted her head, "You did a good job."
Qian Yan snorted lightly, but did not express any resistance.
"By the way, where is Qiuyue?" Only then did he notice that there seemed to be no maid in the hall.
"She is in the hall." It was Mo Yun who replied. Her eyes were red and her eyes were fixed on the ice coffin, looking a little confused. "Qiuyue also said that if you come back, she has something very important to say to you. .”
Xia Fan nodded, turned around and walked towards the back room.
In the rest room at the back of the main hall, he saw that the princess's personal maid was different from the calm Qiuyue that everyone said. At this time, she was sitting on the sofa, her hands were shaking uncontrollably, and her face was so pale that there was no trace of it. color.
Hearing Xia Fan's footsteps, she slowly raised her head, no longer as sharp and vigilant as before.
"Lord Xia"
"I'm here." Xia Fan sat down in front of her.
The next second, she hugged Xia Fan and started sobbing. Her voice was suppressed very low, as if she didn't want people outside to notice, but Xia Fan heard it clearly. The intermittent crying sounded like a long-term restraint. The outpouring that followed.
Almost a moment later, Qiuyue slowly raised her head.
Xia Fan, who was well prepared, handed a handkerchief to her.
"I'm sorry for being rude." The maid wiped her cheek that was stained by tears, "I failed to protect the princess." At this point, her nose twitched, and great guilt and self-blame came to her heart again.
"The battlefield is like this. No one can guarantee a perfect strategy." Xia Fan comforted. She was not as calm as everyone described her, but her desire to save the princess overcame her panic. "The key is what to do next. There is no doubt that the princess is still alive, and it is far from despair now." "
Qiuyue nodded and was silent for a while before saying, "Her Royal Highness the Princess asked me to tell you that if something happens to her, you will take over Jinxia."
"Me?" Xia Fan was stunned.
"Yes. She also said that you can trust Mo Yun." Qiuyue paused, "Of course you can also trust me. Your Highness the Princess's entrustment is my lifelong goal."
"I won't sit in that seat." Xia Fan said calmly.
"You" Qiuyue was stunned. She seemed not to have expected that the other party would refuse such a thing, "Why?"
"It is only suitable for Ning Wanjun to sit there. Before she wakes up, the Secretariat is enough to take on the daily affairs of Shenzhou. As for me," Xia Fan said seriously, "I will find every way to make her recover." Don’t worry, Her Royal Highness the Princess will not sleep forever.”
After the First World War of the Left Army, the Ten-State Allied Forces of the Privy Council no longer had any meaning to persist.
Under the intervention of Ning Qianshi and Qian, the 60,000-strong Chinese Army and the struggling Right Army were disintegrated one after another, and the generals of each department returned to their hometowns to disperse.
Not only that, Qian and other core alchemists also publicly stated that they would withdraw from the Gyeonggi Privy Council and stay in Jinxia from now on. This also made everyone realize that the Privy Council has ceased to exist in name only.
In the future, the capital of Qi Kingdom will probably no longer be the Shangyuan City that lasted for hundreds of years.
And those aristocratic families and wealthy families in various states and cities are waiting to see the princess's next move. If the Privy Council gives up power, someone will inevitably fill it.
But unexpectedly, there was no movement in Jinxia City, as if it had become silent.
However, anyone who visits Jinxia will find that this place is still prosperous and lively.
This war basically revolved around Jiujiang and the suburbs outside the city, and its impact on the people's livelihood in Shenzhou was not serious. In the past, the tragic situation of soldiers passing through the border and starving people thousands of miles away did not happen. It can even be said that Shenzhou after the war was better than before the war. It became even more prosperous and a large number of captives chose to make a living on the spot. In addition, the influence of Jinxia City's victory over the Privy Council grew day by day, causing the population inflow to reach a new peak.
This can be seen from the consumption of marine fish.
Cold chain food, which was originally oversupplied, now has a balance between supply and sales for the first time. No matter how much seafood is fished out by the two tree boats, it can be sold out within a day or two. The problem of needing to build large cold storages to store food is no longer exist.
The expansion of Jinxia City has not stopped at all. In addition to the original south city wall, the west city wall has also been included in the demolition plan. The city area has more than tripled in a short period of time, and the number of permanent residents has reached as many as 400,000 for the first time. .
All affairs in the city can be said to have entered a fast lane of rapid development.
It's just that in wine shops, teahouses and other places, you can occasionally hear some not-so-good rumors.
For example, Her Royal Highness the Princess has not been seen for a long time.
