PDLP Chapter 110 Recovery
Chapter 110 Recovery
Ruhan and Ruping were slowly recovering in Hanyue Pavilion. A few days later, Zhao Wubing, the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau, led several imperial doctors and finally developed a new drug to treat the plague.
Nie Wushuang was ordered to use new medicine for Ruhan and Ruping first, and their conditions stabilized again.
In Yinxue Pavilion, Lan Qingwu stood by the window, quietly watching the changing clouds in the sky. Qiulan slowly walked forward and bowed slightly, "Master, there is a young master outside the gate of Yinxue Pavilion."
Lan Qingwu came back to his senses: "Let's go and take a look."
When they reached the gate, they found it tightly shut. From outside came the silent voice of the young master: "Amitabha, are you all right?"
"I'm fine. Why is Master Buyu here?"
Master Buyu replied, "I have offered a peace amulet and have come here to hang it at your door. Now that my work is done, I will take my leave."
Lan Qingwu's mind turned slightly: "Little Master, not long ago, your senior brother said that I had a calamity. Little Master, do you know if this calamity has passed?"
Master Buyu twirled the Buddhist beads in his hand faster and faster: "Sir, you have not been infected with the plague at all, so how can you be considered to have survived this disaster?"
Lan Qingwu nodded in understanding, as if she had thought the same thing: "Is that so? Little Master, could you do me a favor?"
Master Buyu finally left. Qiulan, who was standing behind Lan Qingwu, hesitated to speak. Lan Qingwu said softly, "Qiulan, just pretend you didn't hear anything."
Qiulan said hurriedly: "Of course I will obey my master."
Lan Qingwu turned around and looked at Qiulan carefully: "Qiulan, why are you... so...?"
Why was she so loyal to me? They had never met before.
Qiulan's round face blossomed into a brilliant smile: "Master, wait a few days, when the plague is over, I will tell you a story."
Lan Qingwu was also infected by Qiulan's smile: "Okay, then I'll wait for Qiulan to tell me a story."
The plague, which was not very prevalent to begin with, was effectively contained by the Imperial Medical Office of the Dasheng Dynasty before it could spread. Lan Qingwu recalled the plague disasters described in history, where nine out of ten houses were left empty, and some families died entirely with no one to bury them.
Were the medical skills of the imperial physicians of the Dasheng Dynasty already so advanced? Or was this all related to Empress Zhaoyan?
Lan Qingwu parted her red lips and muttered to herself, "Empress Zhaoyan?"
Ru Ping and Ru Han finally recovered from their illness and returned to Suo Wu Palace. Lan Qing Wu also left Yin Xue Pavilion and met Ru Ping and Ru Han. The three of them met, as if they were in another world. Only when he saw that the two were safe and sound did Lan Qing Wu's heart finally settle down.
As Lan Qingwu expected, Emperor Shenwu came to Huangjue Temple after being busy for some time.
Emperor Shenwu asked the same question as Lan Qingwu: "Did Concubine Yi survive this plague safely?"
Master Buyu paused for a moment as he twirled his Buddhist beads. "Amitabha, Your Majesty, Concubine Yi has safely survived this ordeal."
After Emperor Shenwu left with peace of mind, Master Buyu sighed slightly, recalling what Lan Qingwu had said to him that day: "Master, after the plague is over, His Majesty will definitely go to Huangjue Temple to look for you. When that time comes, Master Buyu will only need to tell His Majesty that I have safely survived this disaster!"
Master Buyu was surprised and said, "This..."
"Young master, you only need to tell His Majesty this. Do you want to see your senior brother lose his life because of this? From now on, no matter whether I have survived the disaster or not, I have nothing to do with Guoan Temple." The temptation was too great. For the first time, the young master felt his determination to practice Buddhism waver.
The silent young master came back to his senses, compassion emerging in his eyes: "Amitabha, Buddha, please forgive my sins. I have committed verbal offenses. However, if you really encounter a disaster in the future, I will fight to the death to resolve it!"
In Suowu Palace, Lan Qingwu was reading the letters from his friends and the Lan family. Everything was normal in Qingciyuan, Yu Piaolan did not cause any trouble, and his cousin Lan Shuren had come from the border to the imperial city to study, preparing to make a big splash in the imperial examination.
Lan Qingwu thought of Empress Zhaoyan again, her eyes brightening slightly as she called out to Ruping, "Ruping, there's a scroll of Imperial Secrets. Go find it. Oh, no, the main scroll mostly records the emperor's life. Go find the unofficial scroll of the Dasheng Imperial Family, looking for the founding emperor and empress."
Ru Ping thought Lan Qingwu was just in a whim and left. Ru Ping was lucky. She used the jade token of Concubine Yi to successfully enter Wenyuan Pavilion, found seven or eight volumes of the Royal Wild Scrolls, and brought them back to Suowu Palace.
Lan Qingwu couldn't wait to flip through the book. When he read the third volume, he sat up straighter. "Empress Zhaoyan, whose original name was Dongfang Qingyan, lost her mother at birth and was abandoned by her biological father in the Unborn Valley. Although she was born by her mother, she was raised by heaven and earth. She left the Unborn Valley at the age of seven and struggled to survive in the beggars' den in Unborn City. She became the famous beggar queen of Unborn City. Five years later, Dongfang Qingyan led more than 20 beggars to join the immortal sect. With her amazing talent, she was accepted as the first disciple by the great elder of Xuantian Sect. Together with Baili Zheng, the third disciple of the sect leader, she began a long journey in the immortal sect. Seven years of cultivation. Seven years later, Baili Zheng, reverting to his original name, Zhou Yizheng, left the immortal sect and entered the mortal world to save the nearly collapsed order of the human world. As order gradually returned to the human world, Zhou Yizheng proclaimed himself emperor. Armed with the Immortal Execution Order, he joined forces with several major immortal sects to slay the scoundrels, exterminate demons, and re-establish the laws of the Three Realms, achieving unparalleled merit alongside Empress Zhaoyan. Empress Zhaoyan's soul once separated from her body, traveling to an unknown world. She was sealed within a mysterious ice coffin by the Human Emperor for a full six months. After waking, Empress Zhaoyan is said to have left behind a passage that allows for time travel.
"A passage that can travel through time and space?"
