"We can't get into the Priestess Hall. After the Shaman King came back, he sent more people inside and outside. The security is even tighter than before. We've been waiting here for a few days, but we can't find a chance to get in." Teng Ye stood behind Murong Ke and said in a low voice.
They had been hiding in the building closest to the Priestess Hall for many days. They couldn't even get close, let alone enter the Priestess Hall.
Murong Ke said in a low voice, "The more it is like this, the more it proves that the Shaman King has a reason to capture her."
"Isn't the reason obvious? Lu Yaoyao is Huangfu Chen's disciple. Qi Ruoshui wants to force Huangfu Chen to submit." Teng Ye said with a smile, "Huangfu Chen and Lu Yaoyao are not just master and disciple."
"Shut up!" Murong Ke shouted coldly.
Teng Ye looked at him silently, "Admit it, you're jealous. You want Lu Yaoyao more than anyone else. After you save her this time, you'll take her away."
Murong Ke said in a low voice, "Think of a way to go in disguised as a guard. You can still change your appearance to look like them."
"These two guards live in the Priestess Hall. During dinner time, they usually go to the noodle stall over there to eat a bowl of noodles and drink a few cups of wine. Their figures are about the same as us, so we can disguise ourselves as them. However, since they are on duty tonight, they probably won't be drinking. We have to wait for them to drink before we make our move." Teng Ye pointed at the two men who were entering through the main entrance.
"When will they go drinking?" Murong Ke asked.
Teng Ye said, "Tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow. I don't know, I don't see any pattern."
"We …" Murong Ke's voice stopped. He frowned as he looked at the carriage coming from the east. The person driving the carriage was the Shaman King's protector.
The protector of the Priestess Hall was driving the carriage himself. Was the Shaman King inside?
Murong Ke stared at the window. He wanted to know what the Shaman King looked like.
A pair of hands suddenly lifted the curtains, and he saw an unfamiliar face. It was a young woman, and she looked somewhat familiar, but he could not remember who she was. It was as if he had seen her somewhere before. Then, another person approached the window, and that beautiful face suddenly came into his line of sight.
Yaoyao pressed Murong Ke's hand on the pillar and almost jumped down to save her.
"Don't be impulsive, you won't be able to save her if you go down now." Teng Ye grabbed Murong Ke's arm, preventing him from jumping down.
Murong Ke stared at the carriage. This feeling of knowing that she was there but not being able to save her made him feel like there was a fire burning in his chest. It made him angry and painful, and he wanted to jump down and save her.
"Look!" Teng Ye pointed to the surroundings. Regardless of whether it was inside or outside the Priest Hall, there were guards everywhere. There were even some who hid in the corners and kept watch. There were only two of them, and it was impossible for them to rescue Lu Yaoyao.
The carriage had already entered the gate of the Priest Hall. Teng Ye let go of Murong Ke's arm and said, "She can still go in and out of the Priest Hall. The Witch King is still courteous to her. This is a good thing. She has not been tortured or wronged in the Priest Hall, so you can rest assured."
"Quickly think of a way to enter the Priest Hall," Murong Ke said in a deep voice.
Teng Ye nodded. "Okay."
Ye Zhen asked someone to send Wanyan Xi directly to her courtyard, and asked Wu Ming to give her two attendants.
She asked the maid to prepare a large bucket of warm water, wiped the temperature of the water, and while no one was looking, dripped a drop of spirit spring water into the warm water. Then, she asked the attendant to soak Wanyan Xi in the water.
Wanyan Xi's clothes were stuck to his skin and could not be taken off. She could only let his clothes soak before taking them off. She asked the maid to prepare hot water to heat up the water that had cooled down.
"Miss Lu, your clothes can already be taken off. Do you still need to continue soaking in the water?" A servant came out of the washroom and said to Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen nodded when she heard the words. "Continue soaking." Then she said to the two maids next to her, "This is the prescription. Go and find these medicines for me."
"Only the Witch King has a pharmacy." The maid said.
"Then go and tell your Witch King that I want these medicines." Ye Zhen said coldly.
The maid had no choice but to obey.
Qi Ruoshui had not yet returned to the priest's hall, but Wu Ming was here. He took a look at the prescription and handed it to the maid next to him. "Let the people in the pharmacy get the medicines according to the prescription."
"How did Lu Yaoyao cure Wanyan Xi?" Wu Ming asked the attendant who had just come behind him in a low voice.
"This little one saw her let people soak Wanyan Xi in the water."
Wu Ming, who was soaking in the water, raised his eyebrows. "Keep watching."
On the other side, Wanyan Xi had been soaked in warm water for half an hour. His face had regained its color, and his skin was no longer cold and stiff. Ye Zhen asked the two attendants to dress Wanyan Xi, carry him out, and put him on the bed.
"Your Highness, he is still unconscious, and his pulse is very weak." Jin Shanshan put her hand on Wanyan Xi's neck. She really didn't think he could be saved.
Ye Zhen nodded gently. "I'll do acupuncture for him first."
While she was doing acupuncture for Wanyan Xi, the maid also brought all the medicines Ye Zhen wanted. Ye Zhen asked Jin Shanshan to boil the medicine herself.
After about an hour, Ye Zhen removed the needles from Wanyan Xi's body.
"He hasn't woken up yet. It seems that you can't save him." Qi Ruoshui came in from outside with a touch of sarcasm in her eyes. It seemed that she thought too much. Lu Yaoyao was just like an ordinary female doctor, without any magical ability to bring the dead back to life.
Ye Zhen said faintly, "He is not dead yet, so there is a chance to save him."
Qi Ruoshui looked at Ye Zhen contemptuously. "Then I'll wait and see."
"Your Highness, the medicine is ready." Jin Shanshan came in from outside with a bowl of medicine in his hand.
"Wait!" Qi Ruoshui stopped Jin Shanshan, took the medicine from her hand, poured a little into the cup, and then put it back in her hand.
Jin Shanshan looked at her with a frown and walked to Ye Zhen. "Your Highness, I'll feed him."
Ye Zhen nodded gently. "Feed it to his mouth slowly."
"He has not eaten or drunk in the heavy snow for three days. Ordinary people would not be able to support three days without a drop of water, not to mention that he is still in the cold and snow. Even if your medical skills are brilliant, can you bring the dead back to life?" Qi Ruoshui asked.
"There is always someone better. Just because you can't do it doesn't mean that others can't do it. How do you know that there are no miracles?" Ye Zhen asked faintly.
Qi Ruoshui looked at Ye Zhen contemptuously. "Then I'll look forward to your miracle. If you can save him, then I'll let him live."
Ye Zhen looked down at Wanyan Xi. "Then you have to keep your word."
"I am a dignified Witch King. Will I break my promise?" Even if Wanyan Xi was spared, it would not affect her.
