Chapter 103 I’m Here
103 I’m Here
In the past hour, it was as if Imperial d.u.c.h.ess Wei had walked back and forth between heaven and h.e.l.l. At this moment, she was completely convinced by Gu Yanfei and looked at her expectantly.
Gu Yanfei shook her head calmly. “I’m better at emergency cases.”
She was telling the truth and was indeed better at emergencies.
In the Bright Spirit Realm, those cultivators only needed medical cultivators to take action when they were seriously injured and were about to die or their cultivation levels were greatly damaged. Usually, they would meditate and get some spiritual herbs and spiritual medicine to consume.
Hearing this, Imperial d.u.c.h.ess Wei didn’t insist and thanked her again. “Thank you for your guidance, Little Brother.”
When Gu Yanfei heard the words “Little Brother”, she could not help but squint and smile.
Imperial Duke Wei, on the other hand, had a bitter expression. He knew that his life would probably not be so easy from now on. He would have to live the life of a monk with vegetables and tofu.
This was simply worse than vomiting blood just now!!
Imperial Duke Wei sighed in his heart as he cupped his hands dryly at Chu Yi. “Nephew, I’ve troubled you this time.”
“I’ll visit your residence with your ‘auntie’ another day.”
Imperial Duke Wei’s tone was a little strange when he said “auntie.”
Why did these polite words sound so stiff? It really did not sound like the legendary Imperial Duke Wei who even dared to diss the previous Emperor.
Murong Yong looked back and forth between Imperial Duke Wei and Chu Yi. A hint of thought flashed across his eyes, and he carefully sized up Chu Yi without saying a word.
Seeing that things had settled down, the guards outside the private room began to disperse the onlookers and shouted, “Alright, alright, disperse. Go do what you need to do.”
After a while, the corridor outside became empty.
Given Imperial Duke Wei’s current situation, it was impossible for him to stay here and watch the show. After Imperial d.u.c.h.ess Wei personally put a cloak on him, the couple bade farewell.
“Let’s talk another day,” Imperial Duke Wei said casually. Although the blood he had vomited had removed the root cause of his illness, it had still injured some of his vitality. In just a few words, his face had already revealed fatigue.
Murong Yong hurriedly took the initiative to send them out.
After everyone left, Gu Yanfei pinched the fingers on her right hand a few times before raising her eyebrows.
Chu Yi saw some clues from her small actions and asked, “Why?”
“Indeed,” Gu Yanfei said in a low voice. “It’s the swamp.”
Chu Yi had read all kinds of miscellaneous books and continued, “Big bad luck?”
Gu Yanfei nodded, her pink lips pursed into a thoughtful smile.
She had clearly saved Imperial Duke Wei’s life, but the black aura on his glabella had not completely dissipated. This meant that his “bad luck” did not only come from a “relapse of an old illness.”
Therefore, Gu Yanfei had divined again and obtained this great ominous omen.
Chu Yi did not interrupt her thoughts. Instead, he looked at her quietly, his eyes calm and deep.
In the next moment, she turned to look at him.
Her large eyes, as bright as the rising sun, met Chu Yi’s pupils.
“Don’t worry, we’ve agreed that I’ll help you.” Gu Yanfei smiled confidently.
Since she had not finished helping him, she would definitely not give up halfway.
She couldn’t help but touch the plum blossom jade hairpin in her bun again, her movements gentle and loving.
She had read a few fortunes today and her head did not hurt. This hairpin was really good!
In a good mood, she stood on her tiptoes and happily patted his shoulder. “I’m here.”
“…” Chu Yi’s pupils quivered.
Ever since he was young, his luck had not been good, and he had walked a b.u.mpy road to where he was today.
And at this moment, it was as if the brilliant light of the rising sun had shone into the darkness.
His heart rippled gently…
“Yes, I have you.” Chu Yi’s eyes lit up for a moment, his gaze gentle and focused.
Pleased by his trusting gaze, the smile on Gu Yanfei’s face deepened. “I…” She wanted to say that she was very powerful.
Outside, the sky suddenly darkened, as if night had fallen early. A huge bolt of lightning suddenly struck the air.
The silver lightning seemed to be about to strike the two people in the private room through the window.
“Sizzle!”
The lightning came and went suddenly.
In the blink of an eye, the sky became as bright and transparent as the blue sea again, as if the lightning just now was an illusion.
Everyone was shocked by the lightning in bright daylight.
Gu Yanfei’s eyes widened and her pupils constricted.
Heaven’s Will?!
This was a demonstration of Heaven’s Will!
Gu Yanfei tilted her head and thought about it. What did she say just now?
She would help him?
So—
She and he, two people abandoned by the heavens, wanted to change their fate and cause the heavens to be unhappy?!
When this thought appeared, a familiar dull pain came from Gu Yanfei’s chest, and a metallic taste of blood rose in her throat.
Enduring the discomfort, she struggled to read another fortune. Her fingers slowly moved…
...
It has changed!
The bad omen just now had changed again.
It became full of uncertainty and seemed fiercer, but there seemed to be another glimmer of hope.
Gu Yanfei thought of something and her eyes lit up. She suddenly looked at the person beside her.
Then, she had to help!
The sky seemed to be responding to something. Then, an even brighter bolt of lightning descended and instantly enveloped Tianyin Pavilion.
Imperial d.u.c.h.ess Wei, who had just gotten into the carriage, also looked back and was secretly amazed.
She lowered the curtain and seemed to be asking Imperial Duke Wei, but also seemed to be muttering to herself, “Why is the Eldest Prince here?”
“He must be here to watch the show,” Imperial Duke Wei said matter-of-factly. He picked up a white towel and wiped his face and beard haphazardly.
Imperial Duke Wei was not familiar with Chu Yi either. Apart from seeing him a few times in the morning court on the day he returned to the palace, he had only truly interacted with Chu Yi a few days ago when he talked to those pretentious aristocratic families in the East Warm Pavilion.
After Imperial Duke Wei finished wiping his face, he casually threw the bloodstained white handkerchief on the small table and sighed. “I’m afraid the royal court is going to be in chaos.”
...
After sighing, he laughed again. “This time, I owe the Eldest Prince a huge favor.”
After all, he had been seriously ill. His laughter was slightly weaker than usual, and his voice was hoa.r.s.e.
“It’s not a favor, it’s a life,” Imperial d.u.c.h.ess Wei rolled her eyes and said seriously.
