Chapter 616 The Princess's Illness

The princess ate, and she took the initiative to eat, which made the emperor and the queen very happy. After seeing so many miracle doctors, this was the first time the princess had a reaction.

The previous miracle doctors had also prescribed medicine, but the princess refused to drink it. There were also miracle doctors who gave acupuncture, but it didn't work at all. In desperation, the emperor publicly recruited miracle doctors from all over the country to treat the princess.

They were happy, but Gu Zheng was not happy at this time.

The food he made was no longer as simple as food. It had long been promoted to a higher level. Even patients could not resist the temptation. He had a way to restore the princess's body, but this did not mean that the princess's illness was cured.

The princess's illness was a heart disease. Once he left, the princess could not eat the food he made, and it would relapse, which was equivalent to not being cured.

If it was not cured, then Gu Zheng's test would not be considered completed. If the test was not completed, it would naturally be a failure. Failure would result in severe punishment. No matter what kind of punishment it was, Gu Zheng did not want it.

"Come here, give me the reward..."

"Wait!"

The emperor waved his hand and was about to ask someone to take the reward when Gu Zheng suddenly interrupted him. He didn't care about the reward from the palace. He had enough silver to use in the mortal world. Even if the silver ran out, it would be very easy to earn some silver with his ability.

He didn't care about the so-called reward.

"Divine doctor, I was blind before. Please don't blame me, please don't blame me!"

The emperor thought Gu Zheng was concerned about his attitude before and explained kindly. Gu Zheng was too young and didn't know how to take the pulse. If he let them talk, he would inevitably have some doubts.

"Your Majesty, I don't mean to blame you. I can take care of the princess's body, but her heart disease has not been cured. Once I leave, her disease will relapse!"

Gu Zheng did not blame the emperor. He didn't know what the emperor was like, but at least he was very good to his daughter and was a qualified father.

After hearing this, the emperor immediately smiled and said, "So that's how it is. That's easy. You stay. You can go to either the imperial doctor or the imperial kitchen. I will grant you a fourth-rank official position and reward you with an official residence!"

He hasn't tasted the food made by Gu Zheng yet, but the smell of it makes him very greedy. He had the idea of ​​keeping Gu Zheng before. Whether it's the imperial kitchen or the imperial doctor, Gu Zheng can go anywhere he wants.

"Your Majesty, I appreciate your kindness, but I can't stay. Please give me some time. Within three days, I will find a way to cure the princess's illness!"

Gu Zheng shook his head gently. If he were an ordinary person, it would be a good choice to stay in the palace. After all, becoming an official is a great thing for ordinary people. Unfortunately, he is not. He still has to go to Shushan and continue to practice.

"You don't want to stay?"

The emperor asked in surprise. Staying in the palace to work and being rewarded with an official residence is equivalent to ascending to heaven in one step. There are actually people who would refuse such a good thing.

It's like on Earth, an ordinary person suddenly asks you to be an official in the imperial capital, or to be a department-level cadre in the Ministry of Health, and to be allocated a house in the imperial capital. Such a good thing, I believe few people can refuse it.

"I'm really sorry, we can't stay!"

Gu Zheng frowned and refused again, thinking about the princess's illness in his heart. It was the first time he encountered a heart disease, and this was not an ordinary heart disease.

"Your Majesty, listen to us first!"

The emperor wanted to continue to say something, but the national teacher suddenly whispered to him. The emperor stopped talking, and it can be seen that he valued and respected this national teacher very much.

Gu Zheng stayed in the palace and did not go out, but the miracle doctor who came later did not let them in. Since Gu Zheng said that he had a way to cure the princess within three days, let Gu Zheng try it well. If Gu Zheng really couldn't cure it after three days, it would not be too late to let other miracle doctors try.

The princess drank two bowls of a pot of chicken blood soup. After drinking it, her complexion improved a lot, but the sadness in her eyes still existed.

The emperor also tasted the remaining chicken blood soup, which was even more delicious. He thought that he would keep Gu Zheng as the imperial chef no matter what. After eating what Gu Zheng cooked, the delicacies made by the so-called imperial chefs were just like pig food.

"May I ask where are you from, fellow Taoists?"

In the evening, Gu Zheng and Ouyang Hai were discussing how to treat the princess's illness. The national teacher came uninvited and asked directly.

"How did you recognize our identities?"

The other party's address explained everything. Gu Zheng and Ouyang Hai simply did not hide it and asked directly.

"My master has a unique skill, which can sense people with immortal power around us. Even if they are hidden deeply, we can sense it!"

The national teacher smiled slightly. His master did have this unique skill, but the sensing distance was very short and generally useless.

However, it was not easy for him to sense Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng's disguise could not be seen by ordinary people, even by the Golden Immortal. This person was only in the Return to Void Realm, but he could see his disguise, which showed the extraordinary nature of this unique skill.

This also made Gu Zheng sigh. The world is really full of wonders. One should not underestimate the heroes of the world.

"We are disciples of Shushan!"

The other party saw through their identities. Gu Zheng did not hide it and directly reported his sect. He could ask this national teacher where Shushan is and how to get there.

"So you are a fellow Taoist from Shushan. I am so sorry!"

The national teacher hurriedly stood up and clasped his fists. His sect only had dozens of people. It was a very small sect in the prehistoric world. There were too many sects like theirs, and they were not noticeable at all. However, Shushan was different. Shushan not only had more than 100,000 disciples, but was also a famous sect in the prehistoric world. The prehistoric world, like the earth, also had a strong division of power.

People from the big sects would naturally be looked up to by others, just like people in the country who had power and influence, even if they were of the same level, would be looked at differently by others.

"What's the matter with the princess's illness?"

Since the national teacher was here, Gu Zheng simply asked about the princess's illness. The princess's illness was too strange. It was okay to have lovesickness, but she was still missing someone in her dream, which was too ethereal.

"To be honest, the princess was poisoned by a witchcraft, and it could not be cured by medicine!"

The national teacher did not hide anything. He sighed and explained the princess's situation. It was true that the princess had lovesickness, but the lovesickness did not come out of nowhere, but someone cursed her.

The one who cast the Gu on her was not an ordinary person. With the strength of the national teacher, there was no way to deal with it, so he did not tell the emperor. If Gu Zheng had not said that they were from Shushan, he would not have told the truth.

The princess offended a prince from a neighboring country. That country was larger than their ancient holy country. The prince himself was not an ordinary person. He was a cultivator, and his cultivation was a bit crooked, which was Gu.

Gu also existed in the prehistoric world, but not many. It was a side door and many people disdained it, but after all, they belonged to the same lineage of cultivation. There was nothing to do at ordinary times, so everyone could still get along.

The Gu in the prehistoric world was much more advanced and complex than that on Earth, and it had many more functions. The Gu in the princess was more advanced.

This prince was fine. He had not yet learned it and had not broken through to become a cultivator, but his master was not ordinary. His master was a disciple of the Three Immortal Caves. The Three Immortal Caves was a famous Gu Sect. The three ancestors were all powerful people with the strength of Golden Immortals, and they all reached the late stage of Golden Immortals.

The sect of the national master only has one golden immortal, who is still in the early stage of golden immortal. Even if he knows the reason of the matter, he dare not go to the door to reason. To put it bluntly, he is not as strong as others and can only endure it.

"Three Immortal Caves!"

Gu Zheng frowned. He didn't expect that this matter would also involve other immortal sects, or the Gu Sect, which made him feel a little headache.

"Didn't it say that cultivators are not allowed to attack mortals?"

Gu Zheng asked again. The national master looked at him and suddenly laughed: "That's what you say, but the prehistoric world is so big, who will take care of these things, and who can take care of them?"

"The so-called not to attack mortals, as long as you don't do anything that angers the heavens and the people, or meet people with a sense of justice, nothing will happen. There are so many mortals in the prehistoric world, and the death of a few is nothing at all!"

The national master said it very bluntly, and Gu Zheng had completely understood what he meant.

Immortals are not allowed to attack mortals, but there is no regulatory agency, or the regulatory agency is themselves, and there are so many mortals, if a few are really killed by immortals, no one will say anything.

As long as there is no large-scale massacre, or direct intervention in the power of mortals, forced change of dynasty, war, etc., there will generally be people who will ask about it. In the prehistoric times, there are too many mortals who died at the hands of monsters, and some immortals with evil thoughts have also harmed many people. As long as no one deliberately deals with them, it’s actually okay.

Just like Journey to the West, there are also many powerful immortals who harm the people along the way, and then they are unlucky to meet Sun Wukong and others, and finally they are taken in.

"So that's it!"

Gu Zheng sighed. There is no so-called true fairness in this world. The earth is like this, and I didn't expect that the prehistoric times are also like this.

"What is the conflict between the prince and the princess? How strong is the prince's master? What kind of tricks did he do to the princess?"

If it was just an encounter, Gu Zheng knew that the other party had a lot of strength behind him, and he didn't want to cause such a thing, and might leave directly, but this matter was related to his test, and he couldn't help asking.

The strength of the Three Immortals Cave is not weak, but the other party does not have a Daluo Jinxian. Moreover, their background is not weak. Shushan is much stronger than the sects like the Three Immortals Cave. For the first time, Gu Zheng felt that being a disciple of a big sect was actually good. At least he had a strong back and the other party would also take their identities into consideration.

"The prince once met the princess and wanted to marry her. The princess disagreed, so the prince was angry and asked his master to cast a spell on her, hoping that the princess would obey him. Unexpectedly, the princess had a strong temper. Although she was cast, she would rather die than obey after learning that the object of her love was the prince. She jumped into the river. After being rescued, she still did not want to marry the prince, but the shadow of the prince remained in her heart. She just didn't know the true identity of the shadow and missed him silently. Once she knew that the shadow was the prince, she wanted to die again!"

The national teacher sighed heavily. From the bottom of his heart, he did not oppose the marriage between the prince and the princess. The marriage between two big countries was a good thing, not a bad thing.

So he had turned a blind eye to the poison he had cast on the other party before. Otherwise, it would not be so easy for the other party to do it with him around. After all, he was also an immortal in the Return to Void Realm, while the prince's master was only in the late stage of Transformation.

The subsequent development of the matter was beyond his expectations. Although the princess was poisoned, she did not let the prince succeed, and she ended up in this state, which made him embarrassed to tell the emperor.

At the same time, he also knew that he did not have much face, and he could not convince the other party. If he went to the door himself, he would only bring humiliation upon himself. He could not really turn against the other party. If he did, it would be easy for the other party to deal with them.

This national teacher is not bad, unlike the national teacher in Journey to the West. He also discovered the five immortal cultivators before and asked them about it, but they were all from low backgrounds, so he didn't tell the reason.

Gu Zheng and Ouyang Hai came from Shushan, which made him feel an opportunity. His sect was small and he didn't dare to offend Sanxian Cave, but if Sanxian Cave had a few courage, they wouldn't dare to offend a behemoth like Shushan.

The national teacher didn't want the princess to die. If there was a chance to save her, he had to seize such an opportunity. That was the only way.

In the final analysis, the national teacher was just a smooth person. His nature was not bad, but he didn't have the so-called sense of justice. It was probably because he was not worn down by reality.

"We can take care of this matter, but there is one thing, you have to keep your identity secret for us. In addition, I have something to ask you afterwards, and you must answer me!"

Gu Zheng just thought about it and then said that he had to take care of this matter not for the princess, but for himself. Moreover, after knowing the specific reason, he had no reason to give up.

After all, Gu Zheng himself is also a little angry young man. When encountering such a thing, his sense of justice will also burst. If he can ask, he will definitely ask, which can be regarded as a little hero saving the beauty.

The Gu worm is in the princess's body. According to the national teacher, he can directly remove the Gu worm, as long as his strength is higher than the person who put the Gu, he can do it.

It is easy to do, but the difficulty is that when the Gu worm is killed, it will backfire. The backfire of the Gu worm may harm the princess's life. After all, the princess is just a mortal, and her body is so weak. He can't do this.

Gu Zheng had never seen the princess's body before, nor had he checked it. He didn't know that there was such a thing as Gu worm in her body, let alone that Gu worm could bring lovesickness. However, it was useless to know. He had only the way to forcefully remove the Gu worm. He was not sure if he wanted to remove it without Gu worm backfire.

After all, he had never done such a thing before. If he was not careful, it might harm the princess's life.

Whether for the princess's life or for his test, he couldn't be so rash. There was only one way to save the princess, that is, let the person who put the poison on her remove it himself.

Although it was called a neighboring country, it was actually far away. The capital of the neighboring country was separated by hundreds of cities, but that was for mortals. For Gu Zheng and Ouyang Hai, hundreds of cities were just a matter of hours of flying.

The immortal power in the wild was more abundant, and the flying speed here was faster than on Earth.

The country where the prince was located was called Nanming, not the Nanming on Earth. Its territory was much larger than that of Nanming on Earth. The emperor had more than 20 sons in total. Among the more than 20 sons, only two had the qualifications to practice. One of these two sons was useless in practice and could never become a cultivator in his lifetime. So the emperor treated the last one very well.

The royal family was also mortals. If they had the opportunity, they would also like to become immortals. However, practicing was not just about thinking about it. It also depended on whether there was this immortal fate. If the physique was not good, no matter how hard they practiced, they could not become immortals.

If there are a few immortals in the royal family, it will be a great guarantee for their royal family. Whether it is a coup in other countries or their own country, with them around, others will be cautious. Therefore, this prince has a high status in the country. It is impossible for him to inherit the throne by cultivating immortals, but once he becomes a real immortal cultivator, even the emperor will give him face and listen to him.

Time is limited. Gu Zheng only has three days. After learning the reason, he set off with Ouyang Hai that night.

From beginning to end, the national teacher did not know the strength of the two. He could detect that the two had immortal power, but it was impossible to detect the realm of the two. However, for him, the strength of the two was not important. As long as they were real Shushan disciples, the princess would be saved. The other party could not fail to give Shushan this face.

Just as it is easy for them to crush their own sect, it is also easy for Shushan to crush them.

The strong prey on the weak, the big fish eat the small fish, if you don’t have the strength, you have to endure it. This is the real prehistoric.

They set out at night. With the route map given by the national teacher, they didn't have to worry about getting lost. Before dawn, the two flew over the capital of Nanming. The capital of Nanming was very large, and it looked larger than the Ancient Saint Kingdom. However, the palace was very conspicuous and could be seen from a distance in the air.

"Let's go directly!"

Gu Zheng looked at the sky. It was almost dawn. He only had three days in total. He had to cure the princess's illness. Fortunately, the spirit of the weapon didn't ask him to cure it this time. Moreover, the princess was an external cause this time. The spirit of the weapon didn't stop him. He must have agreed with him to do so.

The two fell from the sky quickly without concealing their breath. They soon alarmed the people in the palace. As soon as they arrived above the palace, four people flew out. There were also immortal cultivators in the palace, and there was more than one. It was just that no one knew which one was the prince's master.

"Two seniors, may I ask why you are here?"

The two did not hide their auras. The powerful aura of the Golden Immortal made the four people feel breathless. The older one stepped forward and bowed to ask. The four were all immortals, two of them were in the Return to Void realm, and two were in the Transformation of the Spirit realm.

Ouyang Hai's eyes fell on the two people in the Transformation of the Spirit realm, and then asked: "Which one of you is Minghui's master?"

Ming is the surname of the Southern Ming Kingdom. The prince's name is Minghui, but it is useless to find Minghui. Minghui is only a cultivator of the fourth level of internal strength. The one who cast the poison was his master. This is the real owner to be found.

When Ouyang Hai was on Earth, he was an old-fashioned casual cultivator and one of the famous strong men. Now that he has broken through to the Golden Immortal Realm, his majesty has always existed. After asking, the four people did not dare to refute and answered honestly.

"Replying to the senior, Prince Minghui's master is called Shi Qinglan. She is not here now. She returned to her master's sect a few days ago!"

Minghui's master was not here and returned to her master's sect. This surprised Gu Zheng and made him a little frustrated. He only had three days for this test. Now almost one day has passed. If he cannot complete the test on time, who knows what kind of punishment the spirit of the weapon will give him.
