Splendid Twins

Shadow Blade steps forward:

"how?"

Doctor Su sighed and replied:

"Please allow us to feel His Highness' pulse once more, Lord Shadow Blade. We will apologize to the Queen Mother after we return to the palace."

There were no symptoms in his pulse, and he had no heart disease, but the man just wouldn't wake up, leaving him completely helpless...

Shadow Blade staggers one step:

"please."

Doctor Su came over and took Lu Yuan's pulse with his fingertips. Hmm?

How could this be?

Although his face showed no signs of panic, his heart could not help but panic. His pulse suddenly became scattered and disordered, and he could not feel a clear beating. This, this was a sign of a serious illness...

After a while, the pulse was still the same. Doctor Su stood up and said to the others with a serious expression:

"You go again."

The second imperial physician stepped forward, put his fingers together, and instantly understood what the chief physician meant. After careful consideration, he stood up and let the other imperial physician continue.

After taking the prince's pulse in turn, the three men were all stunned, and then looked at Doctor Su. Their attitudes were obvious. They all understood that the prince was in trouble.

"Doctor Su, what are you doing..."

There was a hint of sarcasm in Shadow Blade's eyes, but his face showed some confusion.

"Your Highness' pulse suddenly becomes weak. I'm afraid there is something wrong with your internal organs. I'm afraid... we need to report this to the Queen Mother."

"I'll take you all there."

"Master Shadow Blade, please stay. We will return to the palace first."

After the imperial physician left, Shadow Blade walked out of the courtyard with a gloomy face and spoke to the kneeling servants:

"The prince has suddenly fallen ill, and I'm afraid he will have to wait... From today on, the gates of the mansion will be closed and no visitors will be received!"

Then he turned and left, leaving the servants and maids looking at each other in bewilderment, and no one dared to speak.

Inside the room, Lu Yuan sat up, stroking a green jade ring in his hand, with endless depth and hostility surging in his eyes.

"Master, the words have been spoken, and the people have been arranged."

"Well, follow the plan."

Lu Yuan said casually, this time, he would take back everything he had lost!

Inside the palace, the Queen Mother of Liang was wearing a gorgeous phoenix robe and sitting high on the phoenix throne. Her face was stern. When she heard that the Prince of Jin was running out of time, her brows furrowed:

"Sure?"

"This old minister and several other doctors from the Imperial Hospital have seen the patient together, and the situation is true."

The Queen Mother heard this and said, "Since this is the case, you should go and report this to His Majesty."

"Yes, I will retire."

It was quiet in the Muchi Palace. The empress dowager stood up and walked to the inner room. She pressed down hard on a part of the wall, and then the entire wall sank into it. A door appeared next to it, and the empress dowager walked in with a gloomy face.

The walls inside were inlaid with huge luminous pearls, illuminating the entire dark room. Walking along the path, after passing through the dark room and turning the corner, there was an extremely exquisitely repaired Buddhist temple. A huge Buddha statue stood in the center, and there were incense burners, candlesticks, scriptures and other items. Three sandalwood sticks were burning in front of the Buddha statue.

"Grandmaster?"

The Queen Mother spoke softly, a hint of respect in her words.

As soon as she finished speaking, a man in a black robe and wearing a golden mask walked out from behind the Buddha statue. The man's appearance delighted the Queen Mother:

"Master, is your retreat going well?"

"What do you want from me?"

Although the black-robed man's expression could not be seen, his attitude clearly showed that he did not take the Queen Mother seriously.

The Queen Mother was obviously familiar with the other party's attitude and only talked about the important matters:

"He suddenly fell into a coma for many days. The imperial physician said that he doesn't have much time left. Master, is there any way to make him..."

"The fortune of the God of War is not something that an ordinary mortal can bear. With his death, the Liang Kingdom's fortune is probably over."

The black-robed man spoke in a calm tone, but his words were enough to kill nine generations of his clan.

"Master, please help save our country's destiny. I will repay you with a generous gift."

The Queen Mother lowered her head slightly, a trace of hatred flashing in her eyes. That evil creature had escaped when she was not paying attention. Because this matter was of great importance, she acted in secret. Fortunately, she was prepared!

If he escaped, he would surely die. He would lose his identity, his fate, and be poisoned. So she didn't have to do it herself!

But when she thought about the useless thing she had cultivated for many years being in danger of death, she became furious. She was the one born with the destiny of a phoenix, and that evil creature was just born in her belly, and he even wanted to compete with her prince.

"Go back. I have my own way to deal with this matter."

The man in black robe ordered him to leave, but the Queen Mother smiled and said:

"Excuse me, Master."

The night was as thick as ink, pitch black without a trace of light. The swaying shadows of the trees gave off a mysterious aura.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, a temple fair is held at the Fahua Temple.

The temple was bustling with people, dressed in their best clothes, coming and going, laughing and talking, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

Prince Li condescended to accompany Zhou Wan to visit the temple fair, with impatience flashing in his eyes. After all, his behavior was petty and not presentable.

"Your Highness, Wanwan is so happy. I have never seen such a lively scene."

Zhou Wan was smiling sweetly, holding the candy figure bought by her maid. She was completely different now. Anything she looked at for a second longer would be bought back by someone else. If she frowned a little, something she didn't like would be taken away and would never appear in front of her again. This was the kind of life she wanted.

"I like it. Do you want to go shopping?"

King Li smirked, his patience was running out.

Zhou Wan seemed to have noticed it, and changed her usual docility and spoke softly:

"Your Highness, please go and do what you need. I still have some..."

"Well, I'll go first."

Prince Li spoke directly without giving any chance for politeness. After he finished speaking, he left, leaving Zhou Wan with a cold expression.

She knew that men didn't like strong women, but her mother actually allowed her to behave like this.

"Let's go over there and have a look."

Zhou Wan led her maid into the lively place. She was dressed in silk and satin and followed by two good-looking maids with a natural sense of superiority on her face.

Si Yao was also at the meeting at this time. After arriving in Beijing, he had tried to find Si Wan many times but to no avail. He had also spent all his money, so he had been wandering around and thought of trying his luck here.

As soon as he turned around, he saw a familiar figure passing by. Si Yao was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and hurriedly chased after him, his tone revealing urgency:

"Wanwan?"

Zhou Wan paused, having a bad feeling in her heart. She turned her head and saw her cousin, who used to be clean and tidy, now walking towards her in a dirty state. Zhou Wan immediately took a step back.

The maid next to her shouted:

"Stop! What do you want to do?"

Si Yao ignored the looks from the people around him and spoke directly to Zhou Wan:

"Wan Wan, I'm your cousin. I'm your cousin Si Yao."

The onlookers were pointing and talking, and Zhou Wan's face changed:

"You got the wrong person!"

Then they walked forward. Si Yao saw this and how could he miss this opportunity. He was about to grab her sleeve, but the maid beside him grabbed her wrist and threatened her:

"My lady said you got the wrong person. Are you deaf?"

Si Yao was in so much pain that he was sweating coldly. He gritted his teeth and said:

"She's lying. I'm her cousin. She grew up in my house. We look exactly like her. How could she have recognized the wrong person?"

Seeing that more and more people were coming to watch the fun, the maid didn't dare to stay any longer. She shook off his wrist and walked towards Zhou Wan.
