Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

Chapter 336 How to Trust the Taoist's Seal

The prince looked anxious and almost ran all the way to the first wife's courtyard.

Before he even stepped into the room, he glimpsed from afar that the room was crowded with maids and servants. They all looked nervous and stood quietly in different places in the room, as if ready to obey orders at any time.

Hongxuan lay lifeless and straight on the bed, her face as pale as paper.

An imperial physician was carefully inserting thin silver needles into his acupuncture points;

Another imperial physician kept shaking his body, trying to awaken his dormant consciousness.

There was also an imperial physician who was pressing Hongxuan's Ren Zhong acupoint hard, again and again, with quick and powerful movements.

However, after the imperial physician pressed the button several times, Hongxuan still did not wake up.

None of them noticed that the prince had entered the room.

He just whispered in a low voice with the other doctor beside him:

"Alas... I'm afraid I really can't make it this time. I can't even feel my breath or pulse today!"

These words were like a thunderclap, and happened to fall into the ears of the eldest wife.

Her originally anxious heart plummeted in an instant, and she seemed to have lost her mind and rushed towards the two imperial doctors frantically.

She tightly grasped the sleeve of one of the doctors, Doctor Xu, and cried out at the top of her lungs:

"Doctor Xu, you are the most skilled doctor!

Please, please save my child!

As long as you can save him, you will be our palace's great benefactor!"

After saying this, the eldest wife's legs went weak and she was about to kneel down, wanting to kowtow to the imperial physician to express her gratitude, hoping that he could save her son's life.

Cai Lian, who was standing by, hurriedly reached out to pull the eldest lady.

But before she could hold him back, the prince had already walked up to her quickly.

He stretched out a strong and powerful hand, firmly supported the almost emotionally collapsed Daifu Jin, and gently helped her up from the ground.

The imperial physician was about to explain to the First Lady when he heard the prince shout, "I appreciate your hard work these past few days, imperial physicians. I promise once again that if you can save the Crown Prince, I will reward you handsomely!"

But Hongxuan seemed to be asleep, with no nose or pulse today!

When the eldest wife saw the prince coming to help her up, she threw herself into his arms as if she had seen a life-saving straw and burst into tears.

The eldest wife sobbed softly and said:

"Your Majesty, Hongxuan is my life!

If anything happens to him, I won't live anymore!

Before the prince could speak, a doctor came quietly, pulled the prince aside, and whispered:

"Your Highness, please forgive me for speaking frankly, but this is not a long-term solution, young master. There is no cure for this problem!"

The prince asked doubtfully, "Doctor Xu, what do you mean by this?"

Xiao Luzi immediately whispered in the prince's ear, "Perhaps it's the end of the year, and there might be some evil spirit causing trouble for the prince.

Why not let the Taoist priests take a look? If there is, then there is. If not, then it’s good to have peace of mind.”

The imperial physician immediately stroked his beard and nodded, agreeing:

"That's exactly what I said. If you're talking about the blood clot on the prince's head, it will take time to recover.

But the prince suddenly stopped breathing and convulsed repeatedly, so it must be something evil!"

The eldest wife heard everything clearly from behind, and immediately came out and said anxiously to the prince:

"Your Majesty, I know there are several masters with great Taoist skills in the Baiyun Temple outside the city.

Why not send Xiao Lingzi to invite him now!"

The prince just wanted to tell the first wife that how could one trust the words of monks and Taoist priests!

Such weird and supernatural things are nothing but superstition.

But seeing that the eldest lady was eagerly waiting for his response, he thought, forget it, he would ask someone to perform a ritual to comfort her psychologically, and then nodded at the eldest lady.

The eldest wife anxiously called Xiao Lingzi over and ordered loudly:

"Xiao Lingzi, there is no time to lose, you should leave for Baiyun Temple immediately.

Please ask several powerful masters to come and perform the ritual quickly!"

Xiao Lingzi didn't dare to delay for a moment. After responding, he mounted his tall horse and left quickly.

About two hours later, Xiao Lingzi led several Taoists dressed in Taoist robes and with immortal looks into the backyard in a hurry.

At this time, the prince happened to walk out of the house and came to the door of the eldest lady to get some fresh air.

Upon seeing this, the Taoists hurried forward and bowed to the prince.

One of the Taoist priests, who was very old and had snow-white hair and beard, smiled and said respectfully to the prince:

"Your Majesty, could you please allow us to enter the inner room and take a look at the prince?

I hope the ladies will step aside for now."

After saying this, the old Taoist priest gently waved the whisk in his hand, and then threw it behind him gracefully.

At the same time, he stroked his sparse yet long beard with his hand, staring at the prince with sharp eyes, waiting for his response.

The prince nodded slightly to show his agreement.

He immediately turned to look at Xiao Lingzi beside him and said in a deep voice:

"Xiao Lingzi, quickly go inside and tell them that, with the exception of the imperial physician, all other female members of the household must stay away!"

Xiao Lingzi took the order and left. A moment later he returned to report to the prince that everything had been arranged.

So, several Taoists stepped into the room cautiously. As soon as they entered, their eyes were drawn to the dying prince lying on the bed, his face as pale as paper.

The old Taoist priest, dressed in a plain robe and with white hair and a youthful face, slowly stretched out his hand and gently took Hongxuan's little hand.

He first placed his fingers on Hongxuan's wrist, carefully feeling the beating of her pulse, frowning slightly.

Then he opened Hongxuan's eyelids and looked at his pupils.

After a while, the old Taoist carefully took out a yellowed talisman from his arms.

He gently placed the talisman under Hongxuan's pillow, then turned around and gave some instructions to the servants waiting beside him.

After finishing his explanation, the old Taoist seemed to be lost in thought and nodded thoughtfully.

Then he pulled up the prince who was looking suspicious, and walked out the door together.

The prince never believed in such supernatural things. He always believed that Hongxuan would get better with the careful treatment of the imperial doctors.

However, facing the old Taoist priest at this moment, he couldn't refute him face to face, so he had to follow him out of the room.

When he arrived in the yard, the Taoist priest did not leave immediately, but stopped and looked around with interest.

After a moment, he reached into his arms again and took out a piece of yellow paper.

There were a few powerful large characters written in cinnabar on the paper. The Taoist handed the yellow paper to the prince with a smile on his face.

The prince took the yellow paper, lowered his head and read softly:

"The male is Yang, the female is Yin. Only when Yin and Yang are in harmony can the child be kept healthy!"

Just as the words fell, before the prince could react, the Taoist priest said in front of everyone:

"I wonder who in your household has a birthday on February 12th? It's too high a date for the prince to suppress!"

Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted:

"February 12th is Mrs. Lin's birthday!"

The prince was about to turn around and reprimand the man, but he heard the Taoist whisper in his ear:

"Your Highness, only the harmony of yin and yang can protect the Crown Prince!

If you and the prince's mother were pregnant with the same child, I guarantee you would have many children and grandchildren!"

The prince thought it was ridiculous. How could the child's safety be related to a woman? And...

But now I heard the imperial physician happily report:

"Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations, Your Highness! The prince is not only breathing normally, but he's also opened his eyes!"
