The old woman leaned next to the emperor and didn't know what she said to him.
The emperor burst out laughing.
Because he was seriously ill, most of the emperor's complexion was very pale, and he looked like he didn't have much time left.
But now, the emperor's face is rosy and his smile is hearty and bold, just like before when he was not sick.
The condition is even better.
"The general has arrived." The eunuch shouted sharply at the top of his voice.
Only then did the emperor notice the white frost coming in.
"Come on, Bai Shuang, come on, let me introduce you." The emperor shouted enthusiastically.
"This is the goddess I just met.
She gave me a pill, and I immediately felt refreshed.
My head doesn’t hurt anymore, and my body feels better. Can you come and take my pulse to see if I’m okay?”
Bai Shuang went to check his pulse and found that the emperor had indeed recovered from his serious illness, and there was no trace of illness in his pulse.
After hearing this, Emperor Longyan was delighted. He immediately waved his hand and not only gave the old woman a reward of ten thousand taels, but also gave her a position in the Imperial Hospital.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." The old woman knelt down tremblingly and kowtowed to express her gratitude. When she got up, she glanced at Bai Shuang who was standing aside.
There was a trace of fatal malice in those eyes.
The old woman thought she hid it well, but in fact, her emotions had already been seen by Bai Shuang.
In this way the old woman entered the palace.
It was said that she was given a position in the Tai Hospital, but she usually did not go to the hospital at all.
On the contrary, people in the palace always come to her for those mysterious matters.
For example, when will I get rich, what will my future husband/wife be like, when will the emperor come...
Even this old woman looks really scary, and one of her eyes is missing, leaving only a black hole.
But whether they are palace maids, concubines or guards, they all have a good attitude towards the old woman.
Because the old woman's calculations were too accurate.
Not long after, the emperor held another banquet to celebrate his recovery from a serious illness.
At the banquet, the emperor personally praised the old woman in front of everyone.
The old woman walked tremblingly to the center, knelt down, and kowtowed heavily.
She hit her forehead so much that it bled.
"Come here, help the old man up quickly." The emperor was shocked.
The old woman shook her head, "No, Your Majesty, I have something to say.
But I feel that the emperor may not want to hear what I say next.
Maybe it will also cure the sins of old age.
So I kowtow first and admit my mistake, but I still have to say it."
The emperor waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I'll acquit you first. You tell me."
The old woman raised her head and looked at Yan Chao, who was sitting in a high position, "Everyone in the world knows that His Royal Highness wears a ghost mask, sits in a wheelchair, and his legs have been disabled for a long time.
It is easy to repair the face, but for what reason did His Highness the Crown Prince suddenly have his legs intact as before?
His Royal Highness the Prince's leg was broken not in a day or two, but in more than ten years.
Being able to stand up again after a leg that has been broken for more than ten years is not something that can only be explained by a miracle."
Bai Shuang drank the wine calmly.
The old woman was right.
As for Yan Chao's legs, if it weren't for her, it would be absolutely impossible to stand up.
It was she who gave Yan Chao acupuncture every day, while Laidan sent a little bit of divine power into the silver needles.
If it weren't for the avoidance of suspicion, Yan Chao would have been able to get back on its feet in a few days.
It was delayed for five years.
In response to the old woman's question, the emperor, who had great faith in Bai Shuang's medical skills, shook his head slightly and said, "Old man, that's because the general's medical skills are superb.
What cannot be cured by others, in the hands of the general, it is a miracle of rejuvenation."
"Miracle rejuvenation?" The old woman smiled strangely, "I think that's not the case."
The old woman knelt down again and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, I came to the palace to offer the divine elixir for the sake of the Emperor's dragon body.
The second is to help the emperor eradicate demons and defend our country, Dongli!"
As soon as these words came out, the courtiers and ladies at the banquet began to whisper to each other.
demon?
Who is the monster?
The emperor also asked the same question, "Old man, are you talking about demons? Are there demons in the palace?"
The old woman raised her hand, her fingers as rough and old as tree bark, pointed firmly at Bai Shuang, who was drinking, and shouted: "She is a fox demon!"
"Bloody words!"
Ning Ding'an was the first to slap the table and stand up, with a cold eyebrow, "Where did this old woman come from, how dare you say that my daughter is a monster!
I think you are evil because you are neither a human nor a ghost!"
Ning Ding'an's words made everyone speak up for Bai Shuang.
"That's right, the general is the war god and patron saint of the Dongli Kingdom. How could she be a fox demon?"
"Your Majesty cannot listen to this old woman's lies and deceive the public. The general is a hero of Dongli Kingdom!"
"Who brought this old woman to frame the general? I really don't know what to say!"
The old woman didn't look at Ning Ding'an, but her body trembled slightly when Ning Ding'an spoke.
It seemed as if Ning Ding'an's words had brought harm to her.
The old woman knelt down and kowtowed again, weeping every word, "Your Majesty, everything I said is the truth!
If the emperor does not believe it, I am willing to use this life to force the fox demon to reveal his true form!"
After saying that, the old woman rushed to the table nearest to her, picked up a porcelain cup and smashed it on the ground.
Then, she knelt down and cut her wrist with the broken piece of porcelain, while muttering something in her mouth.
As a result, the blood flowing from her wrist turned into holy gold in full view of everyone.
After the old woman recited the last spell, she poured blood on Bai Shuang and shouted: "Fox demon, show up!"
Bai Shuang did not move.
She let the golden blood splash onto her plain white dress.
Then--
"Ah! Foxtail! Foxtail appears behind the general!"
"One, two, three... Oh my God, Ning Baishuang is actually a nine-tailed demon fox!"
"She is really a fox demon!"
Everyone panicked and ran around.
There was no one sitting around Bai Shuang.
"Miss..." Qingwu stood behind her, with a trembling voice and tears in his eyes.
But Qingwu didn't take a step back.
Bai Shuang turned to look at her.
"Miss," Qingwu sniffed, "Although I am very scared, I don't believe you are a monster.
You are the lady, the lady that I have been serving since childhood;
You are the general who defeated the barbarians for the Dongli Kingdom and made the barbarians a tributary state;
You have entered the palace and become a princess, but you are still so kind to your slaves.
Miss, you are not a demon, you are not—well!”
Qingwu's words stopped abruptly.
Her eyes widened and she slowly lowered her head in disbelief.
At the position of her heart, there is a fox tail.
"Qingwu!" Bai Shuang roared angrily, pulling the fox tail out.
At the same time, he pressed Qingwu's bleeding heart with his hand.
"Lazy bastard, give Qingwu your divine power!" Bai Shuang shouted in his heart.
The lazy man said hesitantly: "But master, Qingwu is dead..."
Bai Shuang: "Then save her! She is just a mortal, and the divine power is enough to make her reborn!"
Lazy said anxiously: "But master, in this situation, letting Qingwu reborn will only prove that you are a monster!"
