Chapter 412 Walking by the River Often

"Ankang, how is Xiang's injury?"

The eighth prince asked nervously.

Although A Xiang has regained consciousness now, it can still be seen that his aura is very weak.

After the initial surprise, the Eighth Prince instantly sobered up his mind.

He had previously judged how serious A Xiang's injury was on the playing field.

I thought that after my game was over, all that was left was to say goodbye to Axiang forever, but I didn't expect that we would see each other again.

This made the Eighth Prince feel lucky for his decision to entrust Axiang to Princess Ankang, and a glimmer of hope arose in his heart.

He thought that maybe Princess Ankang could cure Axiang with her animal taming skills.

But Princess Ankang's next words shattered the hope that had just risen in his heart.

"Bago, Xiang's situation is very bad."

"It's a miracle that it can still wake up now."

"But it may not be able to survive the next few days."

Princess Ankang said, turning her head away, as if she couldn't bear to look at the miserable Axiang in front of her.

"How, how could..."

This was so different from the answer the Eighth Prince expected that he couldn't accept it for a while.

"No, no."

"Ankang, you must have other ways, right?"

"Your animal taming skills are so strong, there's no way you can't even do anything about it."

The eighth prince's mentality was on the verge of collapse. He was not happy at all about winning the game, and his heart was filled with regret.

At this time, he remembered what the fourth prince said before leaving, and he couldn't help but start to blame himself. Maybe he really shouldn't have brought Axiang to the competition from the beginning.

Now, for his greed to win the game, Axiang paid a heavy price.

If the Eighth Prince were to choose again, he would rather never participate in the Royal Garden Competition than lose Axiang.

Axiang was the eighth prince's only spiritual comfort after the death of his mother and concubine, and he had long regarded him as a family member.

But now...

"Axiang, it's all my fault, it's all my fault for not protecting you!"

The Eighth Prince hugged his head and cried, looking at the dying Axiang in the bamboo basket, he was overwhelmed by a tide of powerlessness.

"Am I really a disaster?"

"Whoever gets close to me will be in trouble..."

The Eighth Prince felt extremely fragile at this moment, and he couldn't help but think of the abuse those people had given him when he was a child.

The eighth prince's mother-concubine, Concubine Qin Shu, was one of the former four concubines. She was born in the Qin family, a well-known wealthy family in Beijing.

And because of Concubine Qin Shu, countless people had high hopes for the Eighth Prince before he was born.

Unfortunately, Concubine Qin Shu suffered from dystocia during childbirth. Although her life was saved in the end and she successfully gave birth to the eighth prince, she also suffered from the root cause of the disease and her health was not as good as ever.

Later, the eighth prince died of illness when he was seven years old.

Because of this incident, many people were talking about the Eighth Prince behind his back.

But in the final analysis, it is just bullying a poor prince who has no mother and concubine.

This palace has always bullied the weak and feared the strong, and that has never changed.

The eighth prince, who lost his mother and concubine, still had the support of the Qin family, but he never wanted to work hard, which gradually disappointed the Qin family.

Until today, there is the current eighth prince.

Except for Princess Ankang, everyone else knew about his affairs.

Everyone couldn't bear to see the Eighth Prince looking so fragile.

Princess Ankang can completely understand the Eighth Prince's mood. If one day...

Princess Ankang's eyes turned red just by thinking about it, and then she glanced at Li Xuan with some dissatisfaction.

As a result, Li Xuan didn't realize it at all and was still giving Princess Ankang secret winks.

Princess Ankang pouted slightly, seemingly reluctant, but she still said:

"Bago, I know an expert outside the palace. Maybe he can cure Axiang."

Hearing this, the Eighth Prince suddenly raised his head, hurriedly wiped his face, and then confirmed:

"Really?"

Princess Ankang said with some embarrassment:

"Gotta give it a try, right?"

"If Bago can trust me, I will take Axiang out of the palace for treatment."

"But I can't guarantee whether it will happen."

But now that the Eighth Prince was forced to a dead end, he suddenly found that there was still a life-saving straw, and there was no reason not to hold on tightly.

"Ankang, just go ahead and try."

"Just ask if you can be of use to me."

"As long as you can save Axiang, I promise you anything!"

When Princess Ankang saw that the Eighth Prince trusted her so much, she immediately stood up with a cry and continued:

"It won't be too late, I'll take Axiang out of the palace right now."

"Myna, just take a good rest."

"We must also make good arrangements for tomorrow's game, so as not to let down Axiang's efforts."

As soon as this matter was mentioned, the eighth prince's eyes flashed with anger.

"Don't worry, even if I fight for my life tomorrow, I won't lose to Qingshu Palace!"

The fourth prince frequently used dirty tricks today, and even if he broke his leg, he would not stop playing. He tried his best to stimulate him, just to consume the eighth prince more and make him even worse when he faced the eldest prince tomorrow.

Earlier at the Cuju court, the Eighth Prince was so angry that he didn't have time to think about it, but now he fully understood the Fourth Prince's intention.

The fourth prince persisted in such a frustrating way until the end, and even took a ball, all for the sake of Qingshu Palace achieving better results.

In this case, the Eighth Prince could not let them get their wish even more.

"Well, if there is any news from Axiang, I will send someone to inform you."

"Then I'll leave first."

After Princess Ankang finished speaking, she carefully picked up the bamboo basket containing Axiang and hurriedly left with Li Xuan and Yu'er.

"I send you……"

As soon as the eighth prince took a step forward, his feet went weak and he almost fell. Fortunately, he was supported by the fifth prince beside him.

"Don't force it. The previous games have exhausted your energy."

"You need to get some rest."

The fifth prince took on the posture of a royal brother and lectured the eighth prince.

"But I still want to see Axiang again..."

The eighth prince said hesitantly.

There were some things he couldn't say.

Because he is really afraid of the crow's mouth, and he will be even more unable to forgive himself when the time comes.

"Oh, that's really troublesome."

Although the fifth prince said so, he still called his attendants and asked them to carry the sedan over, and then sent the eighth prince up.

"Then let's all come together."

The fifth prince said, taking the lead in following Princess Ankang's footsteps.

Others followed closely behind.

Although the eighth prince's attendants also arrived, they failed to prepare the sedan chair.

Unexpectedly, the fifth prince was well prepared and even brought a sedan here today.

The sedan used in the palace is relatively simple. It is a comfortable seat connected to several long elastic poles for people to lift the sedan.

Most of the concubines in the palace used this kind of sedan when traveling, while the princes and princesses still preferred to walk.

Unless the journey is really long, sedan chairs are rarely used.

The fifth prince thought that he would be exhausted in today's game, so he specially prepared a sedan chair and planned to take it when he went back. As a result, he was eliminated early in the first round, and the sedan had no use.

Now it is used by the Eighth Prince.

"You are quite foresighted."

The seventh princess saw the sedan chair and praised the fifth prince.

The fifth prince immediately coughed in embarrassment and pretended not to have heard this.

If he talks too much, he is afraid that he will be the one embarrassed in the end.

Seeing that everyone insisted on giving her a ride, Princess Ankang simply handed the bamboo basket containing Axiang to the eighth prince.

The Eighth Prince held the bamboo basket carefully and looked at Axiang reluctantly.

"Axiang, you must get better. I will wait for you in the palace."

A Xiang chirped softly in response to the Eighth Prince's words.

It's just that this voice is much weaker than before.

The Eighth Prince thought that Axiang was getting better before, but now it seems that the possibility of recovery is greater.

It seems that what Princess Ankang said is true, and Axiang's situation is much worse than it seems.

After Princess Ankang arrived at the House of Internal Affairs, she got into the carriage and bid farewell to the others.

The Eighth Prince resisted the urge to get into the carriage with Princess Ankang and silently watched the carriage carrying A Xiang leave.

"Axiang, we will definitely meet again."

"When the time comes, you will definitely be able to fly again."

The Eighth Prince secretly thought that he could only silently pray for Axiang.

…

As soon as the three little carriages drove out of the palace, there was a sound inside the carriage.

"Axuan, why did you ask me to say that to Bage just now?"

"He was already worried about Axiang, isn't he even more worried now?"

Princess Ankang asked with confusion.

At this time, Li Xuan put a tail on A Xiang's body, and then carefully observed its reaction.

"interesting."

Li Xuan was thinking about his own affairs seriously and did not notice Princess Ankang's question.

"Axuan, I have a question for you."

Princess Ankang pinched Li Xuan's ears to attract his attention.

When Li Xuan saw Princess Ankang asking endless questions, he had to put a cat's paw on A Xiang's body, then raised his tail and wrote in mid-air:

"I'm doing this just to help Lao Ba, just trust me."

"Besides, I'm not sure that Axiang's injury will be cured tomorrow. Whether he can participate in the competition tomorrow remains to be seen."

After Li Xuan explained casually, he paid attention to Axiang's injury again.

He had also accidentally discovered before that the Yin and Yang Qi actually had quite powerful healing abilities.

Li Xuan was in the stands earlier, originally just planning to use the yin and yang energy to continue Axiang's vitality.

Unexpectedly, the injuries in Axiang's body were healing rapidly.

Although this is a good thing, the broken bones in Axiang's body have not been properly treated, so healing will definitely not work.

Therefore, during the competition between the fourth prince and the eighth prince, Li Xuan began to use the yin and yang energy to remove the broken bones that Axiang had inserted into his body bit by bit and return them to their original positions.

Li Xuan treated the more dangerous broken bones in the stands.

Although it was the first time for him to do this kind of thing, he was able to do it with ease.

Li Xuan had only scratched the surface of the ability of Yin and Yang Qi, but it already had so many practical functions.

After the yin and yang true energy entered Axiang's body, it aroused vitality, prompting the muscles and bones to repair themselves at a very fast speed.

During this period, Li Xuan's yin and yang energy was consumed very little.

He guessed that this might have something to do with Axiang's relatively small body.

After all, compared to the human race, Axiang is considered a very lightweight player.

With this amount of consumption, Li Xuan can recover by using the yin and yang energy on his own, and there is almost no burden on him.

Li Xuan only needs to concentrate when dealing with the broken bones in Axiang's body.

Through the Yin and Yang Qi, Li Xuan can slowly squeeze these small broken bones out of Axiang's flesh and blood. During this period, due to the protection of the Yin and Yang Qi, no secondary trauma will be caused.

This skill alone is enough to make Li Xuan a famous doctor in the world.

He can treat almost all common internal and external injuries, and the effect is no less effective than those of the palace doctors.

At present, Li Xuan has almost completely recovered the wounds on Axiang's torso, leaving only the fractures on his wings and claws that have not yet been dealt with.

But these injuries were nothing compared to what Li Xuan had dealt with before.

Li Xuan is confident that under his treatment, Axiang will never be in danger of life, and it will be just around the corner to fly to the sky again.

As for why he asked Princess Ankang to say that to the Eighth Prince, first of all, he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to take back Case No. 1, Axiang, to study it carefully and become familiar with the healing power of Yin and Yang Qi.

Secondly, it is to give everyone a surprise tomorrow.

Especially the three brothers and sisters of the eldest prince.

Thinking of this, Li Xuan couldn't help grinning.

It is not impossible to inform the Eighth Prince in advance about this matter, but Li Xuan felt that he would perform better if he showed his true feelings.

With the fourth prince's mind, I'm afraid it would be difficult to fall asleep tonight if he wasn't sure about the eighth prince's condition.

When they think that Axiang will never appear on the Cuju court tomorrow...

"Hmm."

"You like to calculate, don't you?"

"I'll ask you to make enough calculations this time."

Princess Ankang looked at Li Xuanzao and giggled, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch his cheek.

"Axuan, look at your smile."

"Are you planning another bad idea?"

Li Xuan meowed and shouted that he was wronged.

After the three little ones returned to Xingqing Palace, they locked the door tightly and even ate dinner in the room.

Li Xuan, on the other hand, was racing against time to treat Axiang and try to get him to recover as soon as possible.

After Axiang recovered from his injury, Li Xuan was not sure whether he could fly immediately.

In order to give it time to adapt, Li Xuan worked all night long to continuously deliver yin and yang energy to Axiang to help him recover from his injuries.

…

at the same time.

Qingshu Hall.

The fourth prince's right leg has been bandaged and splinted. Judging from his appearance, he needs to take a good rest.

The eldest prince and the sixth princess were by his side.

"Fourth brother, we can't do this again."

"Not worth it."

The eldest prince looked at his younger brother's legs and said with some distress.

"Brother, don't worry."

"I have my own considerations."

At this time, a eunuch who served as a close servant arrived in a hurry. After saluting the three of them, he whispered something into the ears of the fourth prince.

After listening to this, the fourth prince was obviously in a good mood and waved his hand and said:

"Well done, go down and receive the reward."

"Thank you for the reward, Your Highness."

The nearby eunuch responded, then bowed and left.

"Fourth brother, what are you so happy about?"

The Sixth Princess asked curiously.

"Lao Ba has already found the eunuchs who will go out to fight tomorrow. Although they are seventh-grade, their strength is not very good, and they are far inferior to the two eunuchs of my elder brother."

"And he was in a depressed mood tonight, and he just got over it with the help of alcohol. It seems that his condition will not be better tomorrow."

"As for his sea blue, he gave it to Ankang for disposal. He probably didn't want to be buried in the palace and only cause sadness."

The eldest prince shook his head, but he was not very happy about the news. He just said to the fourth prince:

"You're really not tired."

The fourth prince said nonchalantly:

“I can’t do much, so I naturally have to do my best with what I can do.”
