Xu Muqing didn't expect that luck would make people. If Xiang Yi's mother's family had not encountered a disaster, she would probably have called Prince Jing and Prince Rong's uncle. She would never have thought of this opportunity.

That night, she knew too many secrets and tossed and turned and couldn't sleep in bed. It was not until dawn that she fell asleep in a daze.

In the prince's mansion, Xiao Linye's spy had quietly lifted Pan'er's quilt. It was cold no matter what the night was. The next morning, Pan'er started to burn without any surprise, her face turned red, and the baby's tender and loud cry sounded heart-wrenching.

The nurse and maid who served were so scared that they were almost flying. They hurriedly picked up the child and coaxed him, feeling so distressed that it was like a coptis in the village.

"Little princess, what's wrong with you? Go and call the doctor here quickly. The princess's forehead is really hot, but she doesn't feel sick again." The wet nurse was almost crying while holding Pan'er.

When Huo Shujing and Shangguan Prajna arrived together, they saw Pan'er's face flushed and her forehead was very hot. Because she was uncomfortable, she kept crying, looking like a little pitiful person who no one wanted.

"What's going on? Wasn't Pan'er good yesterday? Why did she suddenly fall ill again?"

Today is the day when the priest Wuya is coming to the Lingjiu Palace with Pan'er in his arms. When Pan'er arrives on the mountain, he will calculate the day to get blood and be able to refine medicine.

"Maybe the princess stomped on the quilt last night and caught a cold, so she started a high fever." The wet nurse said tremblingly, really afraid that the prince's prince and this noble girl Prajna would kill her.

Huo Shujing patted Pan'er's back gently and said in a gentle voice that could almost drip water, "Pan'er, are you afraid of being taken from blood, so you are sick? Don't be afraid, there is only a little pain when taking blood. Being a father will not put life in danger, and you will not leave deep scars on your body. Do you believe that being a father is OK?"

Shangguan Banruo sneered and despised Huo Shujing to the extreme. He loved Xu Muqing so much. No matter how beautiful that woman was, she would be Xiao Linye’s wife now. She was a broken flower and a broken willow. She was so worthy of his deep love and would never forget it?

She wanted to say something, and the doctor came over with the medicine box panting and said respectfully, "I have seen Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Huo Shujing's entire attention and tenderness fell on the little girl, "Look at what disease the princess has contracted. She looks very uncomfortable. You can find a way to stabilize her condition."

The doctor carefully checked Pan'er's pulse and face, and found that her forehead was so hot that it was scary, her pulse was a little weak, and there was a cold spreading in her body, which was not serious. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief quietly.

"The princess was infected with wind and cold. She probably lifted the quilt when she was sleeping last night. She suffered from the cold, which caused her high fever. When Weichen prescribed a few doses of medicine, the princess took it on time and doses every day, and she would recover in less than three or five days."

Huo Shujing was still worried. With Pan'er during this period, he had already treated Pan'er as his biological daughter. "The princess has a high fever and she has tried to relieve her fever, so don't burn her brain."

The doctor immediately prescribed a prescription for the maid to grab the medicine and fry it. The wet nurse took a warm towel and wet the water and wringed it out, and applied it to Pan'er's head, so that she could feel more comfortable.

"How do you serve the princess? Have you said that you must take care of yourself and do your best? The princess is really important. Don't you understand such a simple truth?"

The remaining wet nurse and maid were trembling, their knees softened, and they knelt directly on the ground with a thump, "Please forgive me for your crime, I don't understand what's going on. Maybe the princess turned over in the middle of the night and kicked off the quilt."

"Next time, you'll wait and go and punish it. Don't think that the orphan is not married, but she is an illegitimate daughter. She is a veritable princess. Who dares to be negligent? Orphan will never let go, you can do it yourself."

The wet nurse and the maids were silent. They felt so aggrieved. They had already done their best to take care of the princess. Who would have thought that the princess’s smallpox would be better and was infected with the cold again.

Shangguan Banruo looked at Huo Shujing's face with a gray face coldly and couldn't help but sneer, "Your Highness, you probably didn't mean it. You know that the priest Wuya was coming to the prince's mansion to take her away today. You feel reluctant, afraid, and worried that Xu Muqing would hate you, so he regretted it?"

Otherwise, why did this disease come so promptly? She didn't come early or late. But when the priest and the leader came down from Mount Lingjiu, she became sick.

Huo Shujing stared at Shangguan Prajna coldly and sharply, and suppressed the anger in his heart and spoke in a slight manner, "Ji Yingyue, don't think that you can do whatever you want with the support of the priest. Do you believe it or not and say that you will send you back to Liang Kingdom and let you fall into the hands of Xu Muqing and Xiao Linye. The priest will never stop you! Don't think too self-righteous, the priest is pampering you now, just like he is raising a pet."

Shangguan Banruo's scalp was numb by his eyes, and a chill came out of the soles of her feet, flowing through her blood all over her body. She couldn't help but shudder.

She knew that since Huo Shujing dared to say such words, she said that he would be able to do it, and she herself was indeed a plaything. If the priest Wuya was really tired of playing and kicked her away with one kick, then she would fall from heaven and into hell, which was the most terrible thing.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry, Prajna is used to being unrestrained and speaking is nothing but brains. He offended Your Highness. Please don't care about Prajna's rudeness. Prajna really knows that he is wrong."

Shangguan Prajna's knees softened, and he knelt in front of Huo Shujing with a thunderous apology and flattered him, regretting that he was so quick that he almost angered the most noble prince of the South Vietnam Kingdom.

It was because she was so favored by the priests during this period that she was a little proud and forgot what she was.

Now that Huo Shujing reminded her, she realized that she was just the family of a traitor from Liang State and had nothing in Liang State. If she had not pleased the priest Wuya, she would have been sent back to Xiao Linye and Xu Muqing, and what was waiting for her would be a place where death would be without a burial.

"I really know that I am wrong and I will never dare to do it again. Your Highness asks you not to tell the priest."

Huo Shujing looked at her coldly, "It's true that I admire Xu Muqing. Women who are beautiful and smart, and with thorns all over their bodies will arouse men's desire to conquer, but emotions are one aspect. Lone will not forget what they want to pursue for their children's love."

"Otherwise, why did Gu spend so much effort and go to Liang Kingdom to bring back such a good medicine at the risk of being killed by Xiao Linye and Xu Muqing? Pan'er's illness is indeed not the time. Gu also wants to know what it is for, but it is definitely not Gu's instructions. You can go and complain to the priest Wuya, and Gu is not afraid of you."

Shangguan Prajna naturally knew that Huo Shujing would never give up this precious medicine, the elixir of immortality. What a great temptation this is for a man who holds power. No matter how much Huo Shujing admires Xu Muqing, he would never give up such a precious thing.

She was jealous of Xu Muqing, and Pan'er hated her. She couldn't see Huo Shujing treating Pan'er well, because it reminded her of how happy Xiao Linye and Xu Muqing lived, but she was wandering in a foreign country and lived tremblingly.

"Your Highness, Prajna was angry for a moment, and he had no other intentions. Please don't take it to your heart."

Huo Shujing saw her apologizing again and again, and couldn't help but snort from her nostrils, "I don't want to hear such words in the future. When the priest comes, you go and explain to the priest."

Shangguan Banruo dared not provoke him anymore, so he shrank his neck and retreated directly.

The maids quickly decocted the medicine. Huo Shujing was full of patience and gently fed the medicine to Pan'er's mouth with a spoon. His voice was so gentle that he could almost pinch out water. "Pan'er drinks the medicine and his health will be better after drinking it. Don't stomp the quilt again in the future. The autumn is very strong, and the wind is very cold at night, and it is easy to get cold and get infected with the wind and cold."

Over the past period of time, Panerhe gradually got used to Huo Shujing's company. She stopped crying and obediently drank all the slightly bitter medicine.

Not long after, Pan'er's body sweated, and she was no longer as depressed as before, and the fever subsided. She was extremely sleepy and fell asleep again with her eyelids.

Huo Shujing stayed with Pan'er for a while and asked the wet nurse and maid to take good care of her, so he walked out.

The housekeeper hurried towards him and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, the Priest Wuya and the Master Qingrong have arrived. They want to see you, Your Highness."

It was agreed that he would take Pan'er to Lingjiu Mountain today, but Pan'er was infected with the cold and could not go there. Huo Shujing wanted to deal with the mysterious priest Wuya and the beautiful but willful leader, so he had a headache and mustered up the courage.

"Let's go, go to the main hall."

In the magnificent main hall, the incense lingers and the tea fragrance is as beautiful as a fairy. The leader in a big red dress sat on a chair with red sandalwood, his fair and delicate face full of impatientness.

However, the priest Wuya, who had been practicing for many years, was slowly drinking tea without any impatience, and was calmly waiting for Huo Shujing's arrival.

The best tea and the sweetest fruit and snacks have been put on. The maids stood up straight and did not dare to show up. They were all entertaining guests with all their hearts and strengths.

Huo Shujing walked in confidently and calmly, his smile was neither too enthusiastic nor cold, "I have met the leader and the priest."

Master Qingrong stood up impatiently, "Your Highness, where is that little princess? We will take her back to Lingjiu Palace, so we won't waste time here."

Since it is a precious medicine, I will take it back to Lingjiu Palace to raise it. When it comes to a good day, I will slowly extract blood and refine the elixir of immortality that both she and the priest want.

Priest Wuya took two sips of tea and looked at Huo Shujing leisurely, "Your Highness, it is said that the girl is from Xiangyi's blood, so let's take us to have a look."

He wanted to know if Xiangyi's granddaughter had any shadow of that woman.

Huo Shujing naturally knew what the obsession in the heart of the priest Wuya was. He said without being humble and arrogant, "Sir, Pan'er, she was infected with the cold and is very uncomfortable now, so it may take a few more days to get her to the Lingjiu Palace."

He paused and added, "The cold air in Lingjiu Palace is not conducive to Pan'er's physical recovery. It is better to wait until she is fully recovered before taking it to Lingjiu Palace, so as not to overwhelm the disease to the leader and the priest."

Priest Wuya had been looking at Pan'er for a long time. When he heard Huo Shujing say this, his face couldn't help but look disappointed, "Why are you infected with wind and cold again? Isn't it just right to just get infected with smallpox in advance? This body is too weak, it's really disappointing."

"Who knows, maybe it was cold in late autumn, so I got cold, but it should be fine. I will take the priest and the leader to see Pan'er." Huo Shujing said, with a look of regret on his face.

Although Paner was not sent to do what he had to do when Paner was sick, for some reason, he felt strangely relieved.

He couldn't help but think with a self-deprecating thought, was it because Xu Muqing said that there was no elixir of immortality in this world, and that he even believed that woman's words, and had doubts about the elders and priests of the Moon Worshiping Sect?

"Ask the Lord, the priest and the orphans to go here."

Huo Shujing naturally did not show any reluctance or heartache on his face. He took the priest Wuya and the leader of Qingrong to Pan'er's room, looking at the girl who was already asleep.

Priest Wuya stood beside the bed. When he saw the pink and cute Pan'er, his heart seemed to be grabbed by his hands in an instant, and he was so uncomfortable that he couldn't breathe. He stared at the girl on the bed with greedily eyes, as if the scene from nearly twenty years ago had emerged in his mind again.

"It's so similar. It's just carved from Xiangyi when she was young. How could it be so similar?"

When the priest Wuya said this, his voice trembled slightly, and the memories sealed in his mind seemed to be uncontrollably emerging.

The young and young girl showed a sweet smile at him and was completely dependent on him. He also silently guarded the girl, wanting to wait for the day when she bloomed like delicate flowers.

However, everything changed later, because he and the sect took her blood as medicine to induce the conversation. Those conversations were accidentally heard by Xiang Yi, who was a saint. On the surface, she remained silent, but in fact, she had already begun to think about how to escape.

He resented him and hated him, why would she rather elope with the mage in Lingjiu Palace than let him take three bowls of blood in his heart. After refining the elixir of immortality, he and her will be young forever, and they will be able to stay together forever.

Wuya hated Xiangyi in his heart, hated her for not believing his words, thinking that he took her blood to want her life, hated her rather than die than return to Lingjiu Palace, and would rather jump out of the abyss than turn back and admit his mistakes.

Huo Shujing and Shangguan Prajna rarely saw the excitement on the face of the priest Wuya, similar to heartache and nostalgia. Both of them felt a sank, and a bad premonition surged into their hearts.

After seeing Pan'er's appearance, did the priest Wuya become more interested in Xu Muqing's appearance?

No matter which one of Huo Shujing or Shangguan Prajna, he didn't want to see Xu Muqing and the priest Wuya. The former was worried that Xu Muqing would never have the chance to get along with her if she fell into Lingjiu Palace. The latter was afraid that the priest would completely throw her behind her and completely neglect her after seeing Xu Muqing.

However, sometimes, the more you fear something, the more you come. The priest Wuya actually bent down and picked up Pan'er, gently rubbing the child's delicate face with his slightly rough fingers, "What a beautiful girl, she is so young and so beautiful. How will she look so charming when she grows up."

The girls in the Han family are indeed as beautiful as immortals. Even if the children in front of them have only inherited the Han family's bloodline, they are so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off.

Master Qingrong was not happy. She was slender and tall and delicate in her face. Even though she still looked very young and looked in her early twenties, she was not young anymore and was in her forties. She relied on the stamina pill refined by the priest Wuya and looked like she still wanted to return to the young girl who was not very experienced in the world.

"The priest has passed for more than twenty years. Why do you still miss that woman Xiangyi? You have loved a woman with a look like her for so many years. I want me to say that woman would rather elope with the mage and have a secret baby. What do you still love her? There are so many beautiful women in Nanyue Kingdom, and there are so many people who want to be a saint. Why do you have to think of her for so many years?"

Isn’t it just a beautiful woman? What’s the difference between turning off the lights and putting down the tent?

The priest Wuya glanced at Master Qingrong and did not say anything, but the sarcasm in his eyes was so obvious.

The leader was embarrassed to say that the men she liked were all weak scholars, who looked gentle and elegant, and were of the kind that was handsome and elegant. Most of the elders had good looks.

They are so good that no one can say that no one is bad.

"I think Prajna's appearance is much better than Xiangyi's, and he is understanding and deeply appreciated by my heart. But since Xiangyi is a thorn in my heart, if I don't pull this thorn up, I'm afraid I won't even be able to die. Master, do you understand this feeling?"

Isn’t the mage who eloped with Xiangyi the man Qingrong has coveted for a long time but cannot get it?

The leader of Qingrong was exposed by the priest Wuya, and his face was unstoppable. He glared at the man who looked like a banished immortal, even though he looked over forty years but still had a great charm. "We are all old friends for decades, so don't break each other, Priest Wuya?"

Wuya smiled, and looked down at Pan'er's eyes became more gentle, as if they were holding the most precious treasure.

"Your Highness, does the little princess' mother really look like Xiangyi? How beautiful is she? I really want to take a look."

Huo Shujing naturally did not dare to deceive him in this matter, and said in a realistic manner, "It is indeed 70% or 80% similar, but the Saint is relatively weak, soft on the outside and hard on the inside. Once the decision is made, it will not change, even if it hits the head and blood. The queen of Liang State has a good background and a family background that has grown up since childhood makes her more beautiful and ostentatious, with a thorn all over her body, which is more enthusiastic than the Saint."

Shangguan Banruo kept nodding beside him, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is right. The queen of Liang State has a hot temper. She had a fiancé before. During a conflict, she directly hit the person with a wine jar and broke the engagement after she went back. Moreover, she held a special grudge. She had to find ways to take revenge, no matter how big or small the matter was, she would try every means to take revenge. No one who opposed her would end up!"

Wuya's face showed a hint of expectation and revelation, "The more I do this, the more I want to see what kind of woman Xiangyi's daughter is."

What you can't get is always turbulent, like a thorn in your heart. If you thorn a little, you will feel bloody. The thorn is deeply embedded in the flesh and can't be picked out.
