Chapter 1661: Chapter 1661: It Turns Out to Be Him!

Ning Yu walked into the Main Hall and saluted the Emperor, saying, ”I heard someone accused our Astrology Tower’s disciple. Although there are few people in Astrology Tower, we only accept those with outstanding character. The death of Duke Zheng certainly has nothing to do with my junior sister!”

The National Master died, and Ning Yu succeeded him as the leader of the Astrology Tower’s faction, thus becoming the current National Master of Danliang Country.

Although he was too straightforward by nature, he had developed some majesty over these days. At this moment, with these words, he faintly had the demeanor of the National Master of those days.

Bai Ruozhu was somewhat moved. Since the National Master entrusted Ning Yu to her, she had always regarded Ning Yu as a younger brother, and often she needed to take care of and help Ning Yu. But at this moment, she felt that Ning Yu had grown up, capable of supporting the Astrology Tower, and could stand in the front to shield from the wind and rain.

She felt gratified and grateful in her heart. She had transmigrated here; there were family members who loved her, people who were genuinely in love with her, and these friends who stood by her side—truly wonderful!

”Ning Yu, what do you mean? Are you using power for personal gain and threatening the Emperor?” the Grand Princess shouted excitedly.

”Bold!” Ning Yu’s cold shout silenced everyone. He pointed at the Grand Princess and said sharply, ”You act recklessly and have harmed countless citizens in the Capital City, yet you have the face to shout here? As the National Master, I must teach you a lesson.”

His final tone was faint, but he was seen forming a seal with one hand, and a white light drilled into the Grand Princess’s head.

Tang Yin was taken aback. He hadn’t expected Ning Yu to have such a strong side and said anxiously, ”National Master, the Grand Princess is pregnant. Please show mercy.”

”Rest assured, Your Majesty. The technique won’t harm her or her unborn child. It will only let her feel the sensation of being burned, to let her experience the pain of those burned or injured citizens.” Ning Yu said as he released his sealing hand, letting it down.

Tang Yin sighed, nodded, and said, ”The National Master is right; she should be taught a lesson.”

Bai Ruozhu watched with excitement. She hadn’t known magic had such wondrous aspects. She should indeed learn well at the Astrology Tower.

Very quickly, the expression of the Grand Princess became hideous. She covered her face and screamed, ”My face, don’t burn my face!”

Everyone looked at her in amazement and gained even more respect for Astrology Tower, gazing at Ning Yu with more fear, and reevaluating Bai Ruozhu.

This Bai Ruozhu is not just a female Chief Doctor; she is also a disciple of Astrology Tower. Don’t forget, the former National Master may not have taught her much while alive, but she was still a disciple under his name.

The Emperor frowned slightly. The Grand Princess, after all, was his elder. Being treated like a monkey made him quite uncomfortable.

He cleared his throat and said, ”The Grand Princess indeed committed an outrageous mistake this time. It is only fitting she receives a lesson. Moreover, I hereby decree that for burning down civilian homes and causing many to be homeless, the Grand Princess shall be sent to the Jingxin Temple outside the city to meditate for a year, without leaving for the Capital City without permission.”

Bai Ruozhu opened her mouth, then closed it. She wanted to ask why it was Jingxin Temple, but then thought there were no nunneries in the Capital, only temples—it wouldn’t be appropriate for the Grand Princess to stay in a monk’s temple, would it?

But the behavior of the abbess in Jingxin Temple was improper, having private meetings with her adulterer in the nunnery. Could the Grand Princess really meditate there?

”Alright, you all may withdraw now.” The Emperor waved his sleeve, driving everyone out.

Outside the Main Hall, Jiang Yichun and Bai Ruozhu saluted the crowd and thanked them. The Medical Saint smiled and said, ”It’s good that nothing happened. I’ll be off now, as I have an appointment with a patient. Farewell.”

The Medical Saint left in a hurry, appearing very anxious, and everyone bowed to him, showing great respect.

Bai Ruozhu felt something was odd, but couldn’t pinpoint it right away.

Others also took their leave. Yao Yuxuan, however, didn’t leave and looked at Bai Ruozhu askance, ”When are you going to ’Welcome the Guests’?”

Bai Ruozhu laughed and said to Jiang Yichun and Ning Yu, ”I promised Mr. Yao to treat him. Let’s go together.”

Ning Yu said, ”You guys go ahead. I have to go to Cining Palace to check on Princess Diao Bin.”

”A date is a date.” Bai Ruozhu teased him for a moment, then seriously said, ”Thank you, Senior Brother.”

Ning Yu grinned. Bai Ruozhu rarely called him ”Senior Brother” in daily life.

In the end, Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun accompanied Yao Yuxuan to ’Welcome the Guests’. Yao Yuxuan was not polite; he ordered a lot of food and wine and started eating comfortably.

He appeared just like a Weijin scholar, carefree and unrestrained, making Bai Ruozhu somewhat envious, yet another person came to her mind.

It was the handsome and unrestrained Senior Gao Zhou who had saved her several times and had the same style.

”I remembered!” Bai Ruozhu suddenly jumped up, ”It’s him, it has to be him!”

She was about to run outside when Jiang Yichun grabbed her and asked, ”What’s wrong? Who is it?”

Yao Yuxuan also cast an inquiring look at her. Bai Ruozhu suddenly realized, knowing people hide their identities for reasons, she couldn’t disclose it.

”I just thought of a formula and felt it was prescribed by the Medical Saint Senior. I want to ask him.” Bai Ruozhu hastily made up an excuse.

”It’s not too late to visit after eating. Just look at how anxious you are.” Jiang Yichun’s voice was full of doting, and Yao Yuxuan also laughed; the two teased her for being impulsive and like a child.

Bai Ruozhu secretly stuck out her tongue and decided not to explain herself further. She was indeed too excited.

Just thinking of Gao Zhou for a moment, she finally realized why earlier in Yangxin Hall she felt something was strange. It was the Medical Saint’s gesture of throwing the medicine bottle!

The Medical Saint, afraid she might be harmed by the Grand Princess, in his urgency threw the medicine bottle at the Grand Princess, but the movement was exactly the same as Gao Zhou’s!

Although the two looked very different, there exists a secret technique in this world called the Facechanging Technique, and another good thing called a human-skin mask. She had reason to believe that the Medical Saint was indeed Gao Zhou!

Don’t ask her why she’s so certain—it’s a woman’s intuition.

She sat back down, but couldn’t quite calm her heart. She wanted to find the Medical Saint immediately to ask why he had two identities and why he interacted with her. Was it because he sensed that she too was a transmigrator?

Just as they hadn’t finished eating, urgent footsteps came from outside, immediately followed by a loud voice: ”Master, Lady Diao Yao and Princess Yingtong were kidnapped after leaving the palace. The Emperor has sent people to search for them and decreed that you assist, suspecting the mastermind is Prince Saihan of the Turks.”

Jiang Yichun immediately stood up, saluted Yao Yuxuan, and said, ”Mr. Yao, I have official duties to attend to, I’ll take my leave first.”

Bai Ruozhu grew anxious and said, ”I’ll go with you.”

”I need to gather people first; you don’t need to come yet. If there’s no news by night, you can ask Ning Yu for help to divine the situation,” Jiang Yichun said.

Bai Ruozhu nodded, and for the moment, the thought of searching for the Medical Saint vanished.

Ugh, I said I’d write four updates last night, but fell asleep during the last one... I’ll try my best to do four updates today, but how do you break out of a writing block lately?
