Her eyes widened. The sudden pain almost made her scream out loud.
If her throat wasn't sealed, she might have screamed out loud.
Then, the pain grew even more unbearable.
Her toes curled up, and a layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.
In Lin Jin's eyes, a curse was running amok inside He Yu's body. However, it was being chased away by the spirit sealing needle.
Outside in the yard, Lu Bin stared at the house and waited in silence. Beside him, He Qing was getting anxious. She paced back and forth, muttering under her breath.
"This Lin guy must be a swindler. If he doesn't succeed, watch how I reprimand him." After taking a few steps forward, she was about to approach the front hall to take a look when Lu Bin pulled her back.
"I'm just taking a peek. I won't make a sound. What are you afraid of?" He Qing said. Seeing Lu Bin's silence, she knew there was no room for discussion.
"Hmph, when the person I found is here, he'll definitely be able to remove Sister Yu's curse."
Lu Bin didn't know about this. After all, he hadn't been in the royal capital for the past few days.
"Hehehe, Seventh Princess, have you found a physician too?" Since Lu Bin had nothing better to do, he decided to chat with He Qing.
"Physician?" He Qing burst into laughter. "The expert I found isn't a physician but he's much better than one. As long as he's here, he'll definitely be able to remove Sister Yu's curse."
Her tone and demeanor were both threatening.
Lu Bin knew He Qing's temperament, so he naturally wouldn't care. Regardless of whether what He Qing said was true or not, the relationship between the two sisters was undoubtedly enviable.
One had to know that He Yu had been cursed since she was young. Hence, there had been very few people in the royal family who had interacted with her since she was young. Everyone had avoided her out of fear.
He Qing was the only one who had the best relationship with her sister, and they spent the most time together.
Lu Bin didn't treat the other members of the royal family well, but He Qing was different.
"Seventh Princess, you should know that the curse on the Sixth Princess is no small matter. In the past few decades, none of the women in the royal family who have been infected by it have lived to their coming of age ceremony. There are only ten days left until the Sixth Princess' coming of age ceremony. This Appraiser Lin I've invited is truly capable. You should know that under normal circumstances, the victim would be in excruciating pain by now. Forget walking, they wouldn't even be able to stand. But it's because of Appraiser Lin's prescription that the Sixth Princess is in such a good condition. "That's right. It's not that your Uncle Lu doesn't trust the person you found, but we really can't waste any more time on this matter. "
It took He Qing a while to understand what Lu Bin meant.
So, he still didn't believe her.
He Qing was furious.
"Uncle Lu, I think you're the one wasting your time. That Lin guy is so young, what can he do? Hmph, forget it, I won't talk to you anymore. You won't believe me anyway. When the people I find come, you'll know how powerful they are. "
He Qing was so angry that she kept quiet.
Lu Bin smiled helplessly and did not say anything.
Come to think of it, it had been some time since Lin Jin started his treatment.
Inside the house.
He Yu's face was pale. The pain she experienced earlier almost made her faint, but she couldn't. Instead, her mind was becoming clearer and clearer.
She stared at Lin Jin with her big teary eyes. It was hard to tell if she was angry or begging for mercy.
However, Lin Jin, who was performing the acupuncture, wasn't in a much better state.
Lin Jin's face was pale and his forehead was covered in sweat. Despite the fact that he was only performing the spirit sealing technique, Lin Jin had actually used up a lot of his energy.
That was because every stitch consumed his spiritual energy.
Since the beginning, he had performed the acupuncture needles more than a hundred times. One could only imagine how much spirit energy was being consumed. Earlier, Lin Jin had already consumed two pills to replenish his spirit energy.
Fortunately, everything was going according to his plan. By now, the bestial soul curse that was wreaking havoc in He Yu's body had been extracted from her organs and directed to her right hand.
If one were to look at He Yu's right hand, they would see a purplish hue. Moreover, this purplish hue was moving toward her palm and fingertips.
At the same time, a roar came from one of Jade Dragon City's temples.
In the next instant, the sky above Jade Dragon City changed color.
After all, the sky had been clear just a moment ago. Who would've thought the weather would change so abruptly?
The passersby hastened their steps. An elderly man looked up at the sky and said, "It's going to rain."
Some packed up their stalls while others held up umbrellas. Some women hurried out to collect their clothes so they wouldn't get wet.
Inside the palace, Emperor He Qian hurried out of the hall. Looking at the temple in the distance, his expression changed.
"Where's Minister Yu?"
He Qian asked. Someone beside him quickly answered, "Lord Minister Yu has gone to the temple to investigate."
Right after that, someone flew over on the wind. After landing, he reported, "Your Majesty, something has happened."
Soon, Minister Yu led a group of soldiers with a grim expression as he hurried toward the sixth princess, He Yu's palace.
Of course, he was stopped by Lu Bin at the door.
Minister Yu's expression darkened at the sight of Lu Bin but he still greeted him politely, "General Lu, why are you here?"
Lu Bin obviously looked down on Minister Yu as well. "Oh, do I have to inform you that I'm coming?"
"Hehehe, General Lu must be joking." Minister Yu poked his head in to take a look. Lu Bin stepped forward to stop him. "Lord Minister Yu, aren't you supposed to be in the imperial court dealing with national affairs? Why are you here in the harem?"
It wasn't a nice thing to say as it reeked of gunpowder. Minister Yu didn't mind. Just as he was about to speak, the dark clouds in the sky began to dissipate and a ray of sunlight shone down. Minister Yu was taken aback.
"I'm just leading the soldiers for a patrol. Nothing else." When Minister Yu finished speaking, he saw He Qing in the courtyard. He cupped his fists and bowed. "Seventh Princess, you're here too."
"Greetings, Minister Yu!" He Qing was rather courteous.
She would only be carefree to those she was familiar with, but to outsiders, she could be dignified.
"Why don't I see you, Seventh Princess?" Minister Yu asked.
Just then, a female voice came from inside. "Who's talking outside?"
Judging from the voice, it was He Yu.
Soon, a pale He Yu walked out. She smiled when she saw the crowd outside. "Lord Minister Yu, what brings you here with the soldiers?"
Minister Yu observed He Yu carefully but couldn't figure out what was wrong. He thought for a moment and said, "It's nothing. I'm just following orders to patrol. Sorry to disturb the two princesses."
He left with the soldiers to report the situation to Emperor He Qian.
Clearly, He Yu wasn't surprised by what happened. What surprised her was that she felt exceptionally refreshed. It was as if a huge mountain that had been pressing down on her had been moved away.
Although she still looked weak, there was a hint of liveliness in her eyes. Her eyes were no longer as gloomy as before. Instead, they were as clear and bright as a normal girl's.
Once Minister Yu left, He Qing naturally came up to inquire about the situation. Lu Bin sized He Yu up and was pleasantly surprised when he saw the change in her.
He was delighted because He Yu's condition was much better than before. Previously, He Yu relied on the Nine Water Floating Cloud Elixir to stay in bed. However, she was in low spirits and listless.
But now, although her face was still pale, there was a tinge of redness. Most importantly, her complexion was much better than before.
