Chapter 596: Chapter 598: The Envoy from Great Zhou
Chu Yu listened to the words and looked carefully at Yun Jinnian.
He knew that Yun Jinnian had him in her heart, but the way she felt about him was not the same as how he felt about her.
Perhaps it was just a little less.
"Why do you say that? In the future, Tianci will be my brother-in-law, and right now, he is a charming little brother, we’re still friends! Between brothers and friends, there’s nothing to be ’unaccommodating’ about!"
"Ayu..."
Yun Jinnian called out softly.
There was a mix of conflict and regret, but it was also full of emotion.
Chu Yu laughed, "Don’t overthink it. I’m not that petty. I won’t hold a grudge against you for these things. Let’s not talk about these upsetting matters. Have you found a way to cure the Emperor’s Poisonous Insect venom?"
"I have some leads. I plan to try using my blood!"
Yun Jinnian knew that Chu Yu didn’t want to talk more about their issues, so she didn’t bring it up again.
"Your blood?"
"Yes, I’ve consumed so much Snow Lotus from Tian Mountain, and the Spiritual Poisonous Insect only recognizes me as its master. My blood must be somewhat useful!"
"You want to try using your blood, will there be any danger?" Chu Yu asked.
"No, it’s just a few drops of blood!" Yun Jinnian said, suddenly remembering that there was also her blood in the Snow Lotus Pills.
Chu Yu remained silent.
If possible, he truly did not wish for the Emperor to be cured of the poison.
With the Emperor’s health impaired, he wouldn’t be able to cause trouble. Once he recovered, surely many problems would arise.
"Then you need to be cautious and careful. Don’t trust anyone in the Imperial Palace too readily. Also, the Crown Prince from Great Zhou Kingdom is about to come to Tianchu Country, and he is bringing a Princess with him. It seems they wish to form a marriage alliance, and soon Tianchu Country will also have a Princess marrying over there!" Chu Yu cautioned once again.
He was afraid that Yun Jinnian would suffer losses in the Imperial Palace.
And he was concerned about Zhou Yunshen’s visit, suspecting that his intentions were not pure.
Zhou Yunshen’s thoughts were definitely not simply about seeking Yun Jinnian for treatment and marriage alliance.
Marrying off a Princess is not important, what’s important is whom he intends to take back as his bride.
If this person were someone he designated...
If he designated Yun Jinnian, what then?
If the Emperor agreed and Yun Jinnian did not, the Emperor would certainly find ways to threaten her.
"How many Princesses are of age now?"
"Three!"
Yun Jinnian laughed, "Once I’ve cured the Emperor’s poison, during the reward ceremony, I will ask for a favor!"
"?"
Chu Yu did not understand and kept silent.
"I will ask the Emperor to allow me to decide on my marriage affairs. Apart from myself, no one else can make this decision for me!"
She originally wanted to ask for this favor at the start, but now with the Crown Prince from Great Zhou coming, Yun Jinnian was also afraid that Zhou Yunshen would come up with the idea of using her for a political marriage. If the Emperor agreed and she did not, it would be seen as disloyal and unrighteous.
But with the favor granted, the Emperor, before agreeing, would have to consider her wishes, and she would have the opportunity to refuse!
Chu Yu started to smile, "That would be very good!"
After examining Chu Xinchun’s injury and administering acupuncture,
Yun Jinnian pursed her lips as she looked at his severed tendons, "Elder Mu, Elder Tu, do you have any method?"
Elder Mu hesitated for a long time before quietly saying, "If the Spiritual Poisonous Insect is willing to spit out some of its essence and apply it on the severed tendon, maybe it can be connected. However, even if it is joined together, it will take several years for him to walk steadily!"
The Spiritual Poisonous Insect’s favorite food is Snow Lotus from Tian Mountain and her blood, and she has consumed a good amount of Snow Lotus along with Ginseng and Lingzhi. If the Spiritual Poisonous Insect is willing to spit out its essence, perhaps there’s hope for Chu Xinchun’s leg.
"Then I’ll give it a try!
The Spiritual Poisonous Insect, although just an insect, is extremely intelligent. Moreover, it had just laid a few eggs and its body might be weak.
I wonder if it is willing...
