Zi'an was also a little embarrassed. "Actually, I don't know Wen Yi very well, and I don't know who she is. I thought that not many people knew her, so I just randomly made up a name to fool people. This was my mistake."
"Simple-minded!" Murong Jie snorted, but then he was puzzled, "You don't even know Wen Yi?"
"I know she is the queen of Liang State, and she has a famous book called Golden Needle Book, which is now in the mansion."
Murong Jie stood up suddenly, "What did you say? The book on Golden Needle Technique is in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
"To be precise, it's with my mother." Seeing how shocked he was, Zi'an became cautious and asked tentatively, "Is this golden needle technique very powerful?"
"Did you learn acupuncture from this book?" Murong Jie asked, locking his eyes with hers.
"I guess so." Zi'an answered vaguely.
Murong Jie sat down, his expression gradually brightened, "Yeah!"
Murong Jie really couldn't contain her excitement. If her medical skills were learned from acupuncture, then she would definitely be able to cure Axin.
How many people dream of the golden needle technique. For decades, both the martial arts and medical circles have been looking for the whereabouts of this book, but they did not expect it to be in Yuan's hands. Who could have thought of this
"Don't tell anyone about this from now on. The golden needle technique is in your hands." Murong Jie said seriously.
Zi'an was puzzled, "Why is this?" Is this golden needle technique really that powerful
She only read the first one or two pages and didn't read it carefully, so she didn't know how powerful the content recorded in the golden needle technique was.
"Just remember what I said." Murong Jie said lightly.
Seeing that he didn't want to talk anymore, Zi'an stopped asking, "Yes!"
The King of Liang began to have a fever in the second half of the night, and the fever rose very quickly. Zi'an ordered people to make a fever-reducing soup, and then took some strong liquor and asked the eunuchs to rub the King of Liang's body to cool him down.
King Liang was unconscious due to a high fever. He grabbed Zi'an's hand and muttered a name. Zi'an couldn't hear it clearly, it seemed to be Ru'er or Yu'er.
He looked very sad, and even screamed in his dream, his voice sounding miserable.
Zi'an looked at him blankly. This dream must be very tragic.
Murong Jie sighed softly, almost inaudibly.
Zian turned around and looked at him, "Prince?"
"He can never forget it." Murong Jie turned and walked down the pavilion, sat on a chair with a gloomy expression.
Zi'an didn't dare to ask, but he could roughly guess that this Ru'er or Yu'er should be the sweetheart of King Liang.
Did his lover leave him because of his disability or because of his cruel temper
However, Zi'an now has some reservations about the legends outside.
The high fever gradually subsided as dawn approached, and King Liang fell into a deep sleep.
Zi'an sat beside the bed, looking at the sleeping face of King Liang. In fact, King Liang was very handsome, and somewhat similar to Murong Jie. He remembered the first time he saw him was on horseback. He was dressed as a groom and was as proud as a peacock. At that time, Zi'an disliked him because he felt disgusted. But now he was lying on the sickbed, without any sharpness on his face, and he was just an ordinary patient. The appearance and temperament of this patient were outstanding.
In the Empress Dowager's Shou'an Palace.
The Queen Mother did not sleep all night, holding a scroll of painting in her hand. It was painted for her by Prince Liang. In the painting, she was sitting upright on a chair, looking kind and benevolent with a gentle smile.
"He was only thirteen years old when he painted this picture for me. He said that I was so kind in his heart." The Empress Dowager and the Noble Concubine couldn't help but burst into tears as they spoke.
The noble concubine stayed with her all night and did not sleep. She sent out several groups of people, but Murong Jie was always by Xia Zian's side and could not do anything at all. So that night, the empress dowager was sad and she was anxious.
Especially now that it's almost dawn, according to the imperial physician, Prince Liang will not survive this morning. Although he hasn't come to announce his death yet, it seems that he is almost there.
"Don't be sad, sister. Xin has his own place to go." The noble concubine comforted her insincerely.
The Empress Dowager sighed, "I have been in this harem for my whole life, how could I not know that life and death are determined by heaven and not by man? I cannot force anything. However, it will be bad for Axin's reputation if it gets out. He actually asked a woman to send him away. He has an imperial physician but doesn't use him. What will outsiders say?"
The noble concubine was on pins and needles. Once Prince Liang died, the blame would be directed at Ajie.
The Queen Mother knew what she was thinking and said softly, "Sister, I don't blame Ajie. In fact, he really loves Axin. If you want to blame someone, blame Xia Zian for deceiving him."
The noble concubine breathed a sigh of relief, "Sister, I am so happy to hear that."
"If anything really happens, I will not punish Ajie. He calls me mother, and you gave birth to him. He is my son, and also my nephew."
"Thank you for your understanding, sister. It is a blessing for Ajie to have you take care of him like this." said the noble concubine.
The Queen Mother put the scroll away, looked serious, and said sternly, "Come on!"
Eunuch Sun came in from outside the door and said, "Queen Mother, I am here."
The Queen Mother wiped away the tears from her eyes and resolutely ordered, "Take your people over to check on the King of Liang. If he is in his last moments, take Xia Zian away immediately, give her white silk and poisoned wine, and leave her body intact. Then go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to announce my imperial decree, and start handling the King of Liang's affairs after his death. Ask the Ministry of Rites to draft a posthumous title for him."
The Empress Dowager choked up as she spoke her last words. She seemed to have aged a lot overnight.
The father-in-law accepted the order sadly, "Yes!"
"Take more people with you. The Regent may not allow you to take Xia Zian away, but you must take him away." The Queen Mother ordered firmly.
"yes!"
Eunuch Sun led his men to the Hall of Eternal Life, and more than twenty palace guards went there in a mighty procession.
Arriving at the Changsheng Palace, Ni Rong walked up and said, "Eunuch, why are you bringing so many people here? Is there something wrong?"
Eunuch Sun said, "Master Ni, the Queen Mother asked me to come and see how His Highness is doing."
Murong Jie raised his eyes calmly, "You come and take a look, the rest of you wait outside and are not allowed to come in."
"Yes!" Eunuch Sun came in and paid his respects first to the Queen and then to the Regent.
The queen got up at dawn and stayed by Prince Liang's side. She felt relieved when she saw that Prince Liang's condition had improved.
Seeing Eunuch Sun coming, she called him over and said, "Go back and report to the Queen Mother, and tell her that Prince Liang is in better condition and is breathing more smoothly."
Eunuch Sun walked forward in surprise and looked at King Liang. King Liang was asleep, but his complexion was indeed much better, and his breathing was not as difficult as last night.
Eunuch Sun cried with joy, "Your Highness is really well?"
"It's much better." The queen said comfortingly.
Eunuch Sun said, "The Queen Mother did not sleep all night last night. She kept crying while holding the scroll that Prince Liang painted for her. Now that Prince Liang is getting better, the Queen Mother must be very happy."
Murong Jie still said with a cold look in his eyes: "Eunuch Sun, go and tell the Queen Mother first and tell her that Prince Liang is much better now."
Eunuch Sun wiped his tears and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, I will go and tell you the good news first."
