Chapter 20: Nine Leaf Lotus

Jiang Ze was confused.

Deep down in his heart, he also hoped to save people. He tried every means and checked all the classics today, but could not find a proper method.

Jiang Zedao: "The Queen is weak and cannot afford the medicine now."

It's a dead end and there's no way around it.

The old monk shook his head: "Master, what you said is wrong."

His Majesty looked at the old monk: "Why do you say this? What is the solution?"

The old monk changed the subject, looked at Jiang Ze and asked, "The people who just entered are Jiang Yuanqi, the third son of the Imperial Master."

At that time, Jiang Yuanqi was also a famous figure in Kyoto, and he had countless romantic affairs. He was even praised by His Majesty the Emperor himself, and many people were familiar with him.

Jiang Ze nodded: "It's Quanzi."

The old monk smiled slightly and said, "The Queen is so blessed that she is destined to die."

The queen's body must be detoxified now and must be recuperated. Ordinary medicinal materials are not good and the stimulation is too great for the queen to bear. However, there is a strange medicine that has miraculous effects on recuperating the body and does not hurt the body."

"What is it?" His Majesty asked.

"Nine-leaf lotus." The old monk said.

The nine-leaf lotus is a rare treasure in the world. It only grows one leaf every hundred years. It will eventually become nine leaves in nine hundred years. It will take another hundred years for the lotus seeds to mature, which can be said to be a life-saving medicine.

"Seriously?" His Majesty was very happy.

The old monk nodded.

"I will send someone right away." His Majesty said, and he would immediately order people to set off. No matter where this Nine-leaf Lotus is, he must get it.

Jiang Ze's face was solemn, with confusion in his eyes.

The old monk said: "Your Majesty, wait a minute. Nine-leaf lotus is different from other medicinal materials. It has grown in the world for thousands of years and has become spiritual. Only those who are destined can find it."

The treasures of the world are naturally surrounded by ferocious beasts, which are difficult to deal with.

"The Nine-leaf Lotus is extremely fragile. Any damage may cause the Nine-leaf Lotus to wither." The old monk continued, looking at His Majesty's ferocious eyes, he spoke under pressure.

The implication is that whether you get the Nine-leaf Lotus or not depends on God's will and wisdom.

"The person that the poor monk saw just now happens to have a rare pure physique and full of spirituality. He should be the destined person of Nine-leaf Lotus." The old monk finally said the most important words.

There are records in the master's classics about the approximate place where the Nine-leaf Lotus grows.

There are spiritual treasures of heaven and earth that have existed for thousands of years, and only those who are destined can obtain them.

"This..." Jiang Ze frowned, "They are just six or seven-year-old children."

Naughty boys are ignorant and do not know sorrow.

The old monk smiled and said: "The master's words are wrong. It is because they are simple that they are destined people."

His Majesty looked at Jiang Ze.

The atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became tense.

Night, Stargazing Pavilion.

Jiang Yuanqi looked at the empty stairs and stood there for a long time.

"If you haven't come up yet, why don't I go down to invite you for my father's sake?" An old voice said from the Star Gazing Pavilion, looking at the standing figure.

Jiang Yuanqi's chaotic thoughts paused. After hearing this, he subconsciously raised his feet and walked towards the Star Gazing Pavilion.

Stargazing Pavilion is very quiet tonight.

Jiang Yuanqi knelt in front of his father and kowtowed three times: "My son is unfilial."

Jiang Ze looked at the person kneeling in front of him. This was his youngest son. He was so small when he was born and looked very cute. When he was a child, he always held him in his arms and teased him. He even personally enlightened his little son.

Teaching him knowledge bit by bit, Jiang Ze has great expectations for this youngest son.

Jiang Yuanqi also lived up to his father's expectations. At a young age, he was outstanding in knowledge. He was listed on the Spring Ranking List. He was even praised by His Majesty the Emperor himself. For a time, he had unlimited glory in the city of Kyoto.

High-spirited, handsome and proud.

Jiang Ze sighed, his eyes heavy.

Jiang Yuanqi looked straight at his father. He had never been so conflicted in his life.

This night, many years later, would be etched in the hearts of the father and son, becoming a thorn in their hearts that they could never remove.

Su Rurong accompanied her child absentmindedly, looking outside from time to time.

Jiang Ningxuan and Jiang Xiuyun looked at each other.

"Mother." Jiang Ningxuan grabbed Su Rurong's hand, "Aren't you happy?"

Su Rurong took her daughter into her arms and looked down at her wrist. The red mark on it had disappeared, leaving only a little trace.

"Mother, Ning'er doesn't feel any pain anymore." Jiang Ningxuan leaned into her mother's arms and said, not wanting her to worry.

Su Rurong looked at her well-behaved daughter and felt more and more that she owed her a lot. Over the years, her daughter had suffered too much.

"Xiuyun, you have to remember that Ning'er is your dearest sister in this world. You have to take good care of Ning'er." Su Rurong looked at her son and said.

Jiang Xiuyun nodded heavily. In his heart, taking care of his sister was his responsibility.

"Dad." Jiang Ningxuan heard the voice shouting, and everyone in the room looked over.

Jiang Yuanqi smiled and spoke to the two children in a gentle voice. Tomorrow is the old lady's birthday. Both Jiang Ningxuan and Jiang Xiuyun came to Kyoto for the first time to wish their grandmother a birthday. They were very excited.

"It's getting late. You guys should be obedient and go back to rest early. Get up early tomorrow to pay your grandma's birthday." Jiang Yuanqi said with a smile.

It was dark at night, and the servants were waiting on the side. Jiang Yuanqi still took his wife and sent the two children back to the house. He personally watched them lie down and rest before leaving.

"Alas!" Su Rurong sighed suddenly and looked up at Jiang Yuanqi: "Brother Qi, tell me, what happened?"

Jiang Yuanqi was surprised: "Xiao Ronger, don't think too much, it's okay."

Su Rurong held her husband's hand tightly: "Brother Qi, how could you ever hide it from me after all these years of marriage?" You have never hidden it, and you can't hide it.

The smile on Jiang Yuanqi's face disappeared.

"Mom, please go quickly. All the guests are here and they are waiting for you." The eldest lady said with a smile. Mother-in-law is senior, even if the people in the Jiang family decided not to do anything, they just invited relatives and friends.

, there are still many people coming.

"Wait a little longer," the old lady said, looking out the door from time to time.

The eldest lady and the second lady looked at each other, and they both knew who their mother-in-law was waiting for.

There was a noise outside the door. Jiang Yuanqi and Su Rurong walked in. Behind them were two children, Jiang Xiuyun and Jiang Ningxuan. The four of them smiled and wished the old lady a birthday.

"Let's go!" the old lady said, taking the initiative to stand up, holding her son's hand, and holding her granddaughter with the other.

"Brothers and sisters, let's go." The first lady and the second lady took the initiative to greet Su Rurong, and the three sisters-in-law followed.

The guests in the room all greeted the old lady when they saw her. Each gift was more beautiful than the last. The old lady touched the gifts given by her grandson and granddaughter and smiled from ear to ear.

Let's have a feast, everyone got up and left, and the huge Imperial Master's Mansion became quiet again.

"Husband, please stay." The old lady didn't even look at the smile that suddenly appeared on the Imperial Master's face, and waved to Jiang Ningxuan and Jiang Xiuyun, "Children, come here."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, aware of the tense atmosphere in the room, and their footsteps became quieter as they left.
