"Sigh!"
Lin Hanqing frowned. He was so angry that his whole body trembled. He said angrily, "How can she be so arrogant and short-sighted? You taught her! "
"Why are you blaming me?! We agreed a long time ago that I would take care of the children's daily life, and you would teach them how to cultivate. Now this is a matter of being human! "
Madam Lin walked away and said angrily, "I'm going back to my mother's house to rest for a year. You can sleep alone at night! Don't come looking for me, or I'll die in front of you! "
"It's this again, it's this again. Throwing a tantrum and threatening death. Didn't I learn this from you? "Lin Hanqing felt a headache coming on.
However.
Lin Hanqing was still a rather vigilant person. He immediately increased the defenses of Jiang Tianqing's Windy Moon Courtyard and reinforced all kinds of formations. The exterior was loose, but the interior was tight. This was to prevent the Bai Clan from assassinating them. He also sent a guest of the clan to bring a generous gift and immediately rushed to the Duke of Northern Frontier's Bai Clan to express his apology.
…
Deep in the Imperial City, Western Palace.
Second Prince Dongfang Li gently put down the memorial in his hand and took a sip of the refreshing tea on the table. He looked at a personal guard and asked, "Is there any movement at the Zhenyuan Marquis' residence?"
"Your Highness, the Zhenyuan Marquis' residence is very peaceful!"
"What about that gentleman?"
"According to He Chuang's report, Mister Jiang went to the Imperial Medicine Hall and got into some trouble with some disciples … He slapped Bai Zhanyun's dantian so hard that it split open!" This trusted guard also reported the information he had gathered in full detail, not missing a single word.
"He actually defeated Bai Zhanyun. Could it be that this person is not only heaven-defying in the Dao of Pills and Medicine, but also in the Dao of Cultivation? That's right, it's said that he's only at the Golden Core level, but the Lin family's Nascent Soul peak guards couldn't even block one of his palms! "
Dongfang Li was shocked and seemed to have understood something.
Then he sipped his tea and said rather proudly, "This Bai Zhanyun, relying on the protection of the boss of the Eastern Palace, is arrogant and domineering, and thinks that the Empire is his Bai family. This is good, there's finally someone to teach him a lesson! "
"However, I also received another piece of news!"
That trusted guard said, "That Duke of Beijiang used the excuse of treating Her Highness's illness to order all the trading companies in the country to buy out all Yang attribute medicinal stones. Apart from the Imperial Physician Hall and Imperial Medicine Hall under the Second Prince's control, notify all the other trading companies! "
"Preposterous!"
Dongfang Li was so angry that the muscles on his cheeks twitched.
"As long as there are medicinal ingredients, how could this consort not be able to afford them? This treacherous official made it sound even better than singing. Treating the princess? I'm afraid it's because of that girl Long Juxue. The Bai Clan's actions are not superfluous. They're just using a clever excuse to cut off the Lin Clan's path of survival. They're trying to cut off the Princess's path of survival.
He was acutely aware that Crown Prince Dongfang Ding was behind this matter. Because the Duke of Beijiang alone wouldn't dare to do this, nor would he be able to do it.
At this moment, his heart was filled with sorrow.
It was often said that noble families were as deep as the sea, merciless and cruel!
Then what about the imperial family?
It was ten times or a hundred times crueler.
One shouldn't be fooled by the extravagant lifestyle of overlooking millions of territories and controlling the lives of the people.
However, only when one was in the midst of it would one feel that bone-chilling coldness. It was as if one was treading on thin ice and felt uneasy. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that one was in purgatory.
Before this, he had been tolerating it for the sake of self-preservation.
However, this time, it involved his sister's life. Anger rose from his heart. A fury that he had never felt before surged in his chest. His eyes shone with a cold, sharp killing intent.
"Your Highness, please calm down. There's no need for you to be anxious about this matter!"
The trusted guard hurriedly bowed and said, "However, the Bai Clan's actions are useless. Hall Master He said that only one of the spiritual herbs and medicinal stones that Teacher Jiang needs is left. The Eastern Empire doesn't have this kind of medicinal stone at all. They're planning to ask the Ancient Medicine Hall for it! "
"The Ancient Medicine Hall …"
Dongfang Li's expression was grave. He was short of breath and had a complicated look in his eyes.
He had single-handedly nurtured the Imperial Medicine Hall. Although it was called the property of the imperial family, he had great influence. It was like a private property, and he had the final say.
However, the Ancient Medicine Hall was different.
It was a top-notch sacred ground. Even his father had to be courteous when he saw one of their hall masters. He did not dare to offend them. However, he had no influence in the Ancient Medicine Hall.
The Ancient Medicine Hall had a long history of tens of thousands of years. It had accumulated a terrifying amount of wealth. It could be said that even if the entire Imperial Medicine Hall was given to the Ancient Medicine Hall, they might not even look at it. It was like a small stone thrown into the ocean. It was negligible.
"I didn't expect Princess Ying's strange illness to be so difficult to treat … He actually wants to deal with the Ancient Medicine Hall!"
At this moment, Dongfang Li suddenly felt that he owed Jiang Tian a lot.
He felt that he had given Jiang Tian too little support.
However, he had nothing to support Jiang Tian at this moment.
It could be said that Dongfang Li and the Dongfang Royal Family did not have any bargaining chips to trade with the Ancient Medicine Hall.
It was like a rich man in a village. He had garlic, eggplants, and beans growing on hundreds of acres of land. He lived in a three-story villa and even had a domestic car. He could be considered a successful person in the village. However, if you wanted to do business with Ali Corporation's Jack Ma, wouldn't that be a dream?
"Now, I can only pin my hopes on him. Hopefully, he will be able to buy the medicine and cure the princess! "
Dongfang Li sighed inwardly and made up his mind. If Jiang Tian could really cure his sister, he would definitely thank Jiang Tian heavily and treat Jiang Tian like a living god.
...
The expected revenge did not come. The matter of Jiang Tian injuring Bai Zhanyun seemed to have gradually died down.
However, Zhang Linfeng and the other local guards were secretly laughing at him.
Zhang Muyun worked even harder. He cultivated diligently every day or went outside the city to hunt demon beasts. His face was very gloomy, and his eyes were burning with the flames of battle. It was as if he wanted to catch up with Jiang Tian.
Guo Chuandong and a few other Nascent Soul Stage cultivators from outside the river were guarding Jiang Tian's residence every day, waiting for anything that might happen.
They were all proud of Jiang Tian and seemed to have become Jiang Tian's loyal followers.
Lin Dai 'er never appeared in front of Jiang Tian again. Even if they occasionally met in the Marquis's Mansion, he ignored her.
On the other hand, Dongfang Ying ran to Jiang Tian's residence all day long. Every day, she was inseparable from Jiang Beibei. Sometimes, they would study delicious food, and sometimes, they would buy some birds, insects, fish, and beasts to play with.
She was also extremely respectful to Jiang Tian. She was careful and took good care of him, as if she had become Jiang Tian's servant.
On this day, Jiang Tian had just finished eating the demon crab soup and spicy dried dragon fish made by the two of them. Under the expectant gaze of the two girls, he nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Not bad. You've improved a lot! You've already surpassed the cooking skills of the master chef in the city! "
Jiang Beibei immediately cheered.
Dongfang Ying also seemed to have received a great reward. Her beautiful eyes were shining, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and a sickly flush appeared on her face.
"Are you so happy?"
Jiang Tian looked at her and smiled.
