Chapter 610 (2/2)

This illness… was not one that she could definitely treat.

Prince Lian cautiously asked her: “Is there any hope?”

Feng Yu Heng nodded, “There is, but it requires some testing, and it’s not something that can be done in a single sitting. You will need to follow me the entire time. As a whole, applying the poison was an experiment. Detoxifying the poison is also an experiment. Both sides are engaged in this experiment, and this is a race to see whether their poison will act faster or if I can remove it faster.”

Prince Lian let out a sigh of relief. Although Feng Yu Heng did not give him a straight answer, she was the only person after all of these years to say that there was some hope. Da Shun’s divine doctors really were extraordinary. They did not distort the risk that he took to make friends with them.

Prince Lian was extremely grateful. The guard at his side dropped to his knees and kowtowed three times to Feng Yu Heng without saying a single word.

Only then did Prince Lian say: “Ya Ya, you’ve given me hope. No matter what the end result of this hope is, I will thank you. Aside from this Luo City, this prince wishes to give you another grand gift.” As he spoke, he said to his guard, “Call General Hei over.”

The guard very quickly brought a brave general into the hall. Prince Lian pointed at this person and said: “This prince has 100 thousand soldiers under my command. They are Qian Zhou’s sturdiest soldiers. Over the generations, only the sons and grandsons of the first wife have been permitted to join. They will be a gift from this prince to Ya Ya. Just take them with you to fight your way into the capital. Drag Feng Zhao Yin from the throne for me to see!”

The more he said, the more emotional he became. By the end, he simply got out of his chair, and an aura of anger filled the room. Everyone was surprised. It seemed as though the entire hall was shaking.

“General Hei, receive the order.” Prince Lian gave a shout, and General Hei immediately kneeled before him, “Listen, starting from today, 100 thousand soldiers from Qian Zhou’s army will belong to Da Shun’s imperial daughter Ji An. This prince will provide the imperial tally. You should greet your new master!”

General Hei’s eyes lit up, seemingly understanding something. A look a joy appeared on his face, as he quickly asked: “Has imperial daughter Ji An agreed to your Highness’ request?”

Prince Lian slightly nodded with a look of relief on his face.

General Hei did not say another word and quickly turned toward Feng Yu Heng. Like the guard before, he kowtowed three times to Feng Yu Heng and loudly said: “This subordinate’s name is Hei Tian. Starting from today, I will obey imperial daughter Ji An’s orders and will place the troops under your command!”

Prince Lian handed over a plaque to Feng Yu Heng: “Take care of it. It’s made of thousand-year-old ice. It will not even melt in hot places.”

Feng Yu Heng looked at Xuan Tian Ming, her intention was: Do we want it?

Xuan Tian Ming spread his hands, “This was the result of your hard work. Of course, we want it.”

She nodded and received the ice plaque from Prince Lian’s hand. Once the thousand-year-old ice touched her skin, a chill pierced her skin. She trembled and threw the tally over to Xuan Tian Ming, “I don’t want it. I’ll give it to you.”

Xuan Tian Ming smiled wryly, “I tell you all the time to properly train yourself, but you refuse to listen.” He held it in his hand, but there was a slight look of discomfort.

Prince Lian laughed. The ice that had frozen his heart for many years had been resolved. That feeling was truly the same as when he had been freed from that dark place. He immediately felt as though the world had expanded. In the past, he had been kept in the gloomy Qian Zhou, but it now seemed that some light could shine through, giving him a bit of hope.

This laughter grew louder and louder. Slowly, Feng Yu Heng was filled with that earlier feeling of surprise once more. She felt that Prince Lian’s laughter was causing the entire hall to begin shaking.

Was this person’s voice really that loud?

Just as this doubt appeared, the shaking suddenly intensified. She grabbed a hold of Xuan Tian Ming while nearly falling. She wanted that evildoer to stop laughing, but it was at this time that a soldier ran in from the outside with a horrified expression. Arriving before everyone, he urgently said: “Your Highness, something terrible has happened!”
