An hour later, with a cough, Emperor Xuan woke up! "His Majesty...!" Ning Chen rushed to the bed, his face full of joy. "Your Majesty, how do you feel?" Emperor Xuan's face was a little pale, his eyes looked at Ning Chen with relief, and his voice was slightly hoarse and he said: "I...it's okay!" "Zisu, take a look, how is your majesty?" Zi Su stepped forward, checked Emperor Xuan's condition, and said, "As long as he wakes up, he will be fine for the time being... Give your majesty some water, not too much." Ning Chen quickly fed Emperor Xuan some water. "Ning Chen, help me up." Ning Chen helped Emperor Xuan sit up and let him lean against the head of the bed.
"You brat, why are you crying? Isn't everything okay?" "I'm not crying..." Ning Chen said, wiping the corners of his eyes, which were wet. "The wind was strong, and there was sand in my eyes." Emperor Xuan smiled silently. "Father, how are you?" The Ninth Princess stepped forward with worry on her face. Emperor Xuan shook his head gently, "Don't worry, I'm fine!" "Ning Chen, how is the situation outside?" "Don't worry, Your Majesty, it's all over!" "Where's that traitor?" Ning Chen said: "He is detained in the prison of the Supervision Department." "Your Majesty, don't think about anything now. Your most important task now is to take good care of yourself. We will talk about other things later." Eunuch Quan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the Marquis is right, the dragon body is important." Emperor Xuan nodded slightly. Ning Chen looked at Zi Su, "Your Majesty is awake, is everything going to be fine?" Zi Su hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty has been taking Yangyuan Decoction, and his health is not bad... Although he stayed in the cold and humid cellar for a long time and the cold air entered his body, it is not a big problem. Continue to drink Yangyuan Decoction." Just soup.” Emperor Xuan asked curiously: "What is Yangyuan Decoction? I don't remember taking it." "Your Majesty, this is the medicine I presented to Your Majesty...Beautiful Beauty!" Because he didn't know the name of Yangyuan Tang before, Ning Chen named it Meirenle. When a man is in good health, the beauty will naturally be happy, and it is right to call the beauty happy.
Emperor Xuan said oh. Zisu continued: "The most troublesome thing now is that His Majesty inhaled a lot of thick smoke and his lungs were damaged... He needs to be treated quickly. If the root cause of the disease is found, it will be troublesome." "The internal organs are closely connected and the lungs are damaged. If not treated in time, other organs will also suffer problems." The expressions of everyone present changed drastically. Ning Chen's face was full of worry, "Zisu, since you said so, you can definitely cure His Majesty, right?" Zi Su glanced at Xuan Emperor, and then his eyes fell on Ning Chen, who had a worried face. He hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly, "Okay, but now we are missing some medicine." Ning Chen hurriedly said: "What kind of medicine? As long as it is available in the world, I can find it." Zi Su said: "Wuxue Ice Lotus." "Innocent Ice Lotus?" Ning Chen looked at Eunuch Quan, "Eunuch Quan, please check quickly to see if there is such a medicine in the palace?" Eunuch Quan shook his head, "There is no such thing in the palace. The old slave Zi Su said that the Wugou Ice Lotus knows that only the royal family of Xiliang has it." "The royal family of Xiliang?" Ning Chen said oh and turned to look at Emperor Xuan, "Your Majesty, your next decree is to have the Xiliang Kingdom hurry up and send the Wugou Ice Lotus." Emperor Xuan looked at him speechlessly, "Xiliang is not a vassal state of Daxuan. Even if it were, they would not send the Wugou Ice Lotus." Ning Chen was slightly startled. Emperor Xuan asked: "Have you seen the totem of Xiliang Kingdom?" Ning Chen shook his head, "I haven't seen it before." Emperor Xuan said: "Below the totem of Xiliang Kingdom is a mountain, and above it is a blooming ice lotus." Ning Chen understood that if he could regard the Innocent Ice Lotus as a totem, he knew how precious this thing was. "I heard that the founding emperor of Xiliang was seriously ill and his life was hanging by a thread. He was cured by Wugou Ice Lotus... Later, Wugou Mountain and Ice Lotus became the totems of Xiliang Kingdom." "Do you know Wushou Mountain?" Ning Chen shook his head, "Never heard of it!" Emperor Xuan said: "Wugou Mountain is Xiliang..." Before Emperor Xuan finished speaking, he coughed violently. Ning Chen quickly stepped forward to help Emperor Xuan calm down. Zi Su said: "The Wugou Mountain your Majesty just mentioned is the holy mountain of Xiliang Kingdom. It is guarded by heavy troops all year round... Wugou Mountain is covered with ice and snow all year round. Ice lotus can only grow along the cracks in the ice. The nine-leaf ice lotus blooms It takes about fourteen years.” "And the flowering period is very short, so it needs to be picked within three months... The terrain of Wugou Mountain is dangerous, with high mountains and ridges... It is said that picking one ice lotus requires more than ten lives, so it is very rare." "I guess the Xiliang royal family doesn't even have a few ice lotuses." Ning Chen looked at Emperor Xuan, whose face was red from coughing, and said in a deep voice: "Can this Innocent Ice Lotus really cure His Majesty's illness?" Zi Su nodded, "The founding emperor of Xiliang that your majesty just mentioned had the same disease as your majesty... My master found the prescription to treat the founding emperor of Xiliang at that time, but the only thing missing was the Wu Guo Ice Lotus."
Ning Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Emperor Xuan, and said: "Your Majesty, please issue a decree for the fourth prince to negotiate with Xiliang. Everything has a price. No matter how much it costs, you must get the Innocent Ice Lotus." Emperor Xuan's cough eased a little, and he shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's difficult. The relationship between Xiliang and Daxuan is not harmonious, and there are often wars in the west." "If they knew that I needed the Innocent Ice Lotus, they would not give it to me... They would be looking forward to my death. Daxuan has no heir. If I die, Daxuan will inevitably be in chaos. This is exactly what the barbarians from all directions want to see. ” Ning Chen's eyes darkened, and he said, "Your Majesty, I want to go to the Western Territory." The Emperor Xuan was shocked! Ning Chen said word by word, "If Xiliang obediently offers the Immaculate Ice Lotus, then everything will be fine... If they dare to refuse, I will go to their royal family to get it myself." "I will use courtesy first and then force... If they don't know what's good for them, then I can only trample Xiliang on horseback. No matter what the price, I will definitely get the Immaculate Ice Lotus back." The Emperor Xuan looked at Ning Chen, his eyes fluctuated violently, and smiled, "You little brat... Don't you want me to die so much?" Ning Chen said seriously, "No one in this world can live forever, death is a natural law, and I can't stop it." "But I hope that Your Majesty will be healthy and live to the day of natural old age... The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, the son wants to support his parents but they are not there, I don't want to leave any regrets." "So, no matter what the price, I will get the Immaculate Snow Lotus back for Your Majesty." The Emperor Xuan's eyes fluctuated violently, and his face was full of relief. "How about this, I will first give the Fourth Prince an order to negotiate with Xiliang... If it doesn't work, we will think of other ways." Ning Chen nodded slightly, "Let's do as your majesty wishes... I hope Xiliang Kingdom will not be ungrateful and pay a heavy price for an ice lotus." Emperor Xuan said: "Quansheng, draft an order! Let the Fourth Prince negotiate with Xiliang." "By the way, move all the memorials here for me... I have been away from the palace for so long, I am afraid that the memorials have piled up like a mountain." Ning Chen and the Ninth Princess said in unison: "No!" The Ninth Princess said: "Father has just woken up and his body is not well yet. He can't be tired and needs to rest well!" Ning Chen nodded, indicating that he agreed. Emperor Xuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, I won't be tired... Quansheng, go!"
