72. To whom(1/2)
"Can't you see?" Tantai Jin was very calm when he heard the news.
The maidservant was afraid that Tantai Jin would blame her for what Susu couldn't see, so she trembled and said: "Your Majesty, do you want to ask the imperial doctor to treat the girl?"
Hearing this, the young man in black clothes curled his lips sarcastically.
"As long as she has one breath and one pair of eyes, what does she have to do with her?"
The maid understood what he meant and breathed a deep sigh of relief.
In July, the rainy season has not yet passed. When Yangji walked in, he saw His Majesty raising a pot of flowers. The flower had not yet bloomed. There was only a small bud. It turned out to be an ice-blue flower, like beautiful ice crystals.
Yangji thought it was strange, so he took a second look.
Tantai Jin said calmly: "The longevity flower sent by Shiguo is said to cure all kinds of diseases and prevent pain."
The young man's cold fingers brushed the longevity flower, and the beautiful flower exuded a refreshing fragrance.
"Why did you give such a treasure to Your Majesty? What do you want?"
Tantai Jin showed a sarcastic smile: "I want to be the queen of Zhou Kingdom."
Last month, Tantai Jin changed the country's name to "Jinghe", and the once most powerful Xia Kingdom became a subsidiary of the Zhou Kingdom. As the new king, Tantai Jin is a worthy partner for all countries.
Shi Su always knew what was going on, and Tantai Jin had not yet sent troops to them, so they took the lead in sending a large gift in the hope that Tantai Jin could marry their princess.
For emperors, marriage is also a way of checking and balancing.
Yangji looked at Tantai Jin's expression and said cautiously: "Your Majesty's intention..."
Tantai Jin fiddled with the flowers for a long time and then said, "I've collected the flowers. I don't want them anymore. Pick out a return gift for Gu Gu and send them over."
Yangji glanced at him and nodded in agreement.
Su Su spent a few more days in the Chaos Chamber, and the maid who took care of her returned to her previous arrogance.
Tantai Jin did not let her go out, nor did he ask the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat her.
Su Su had guessed this outcome and lowered her head.
She endured the pain and reattached her misplaced finger, but her body was getting weaker and weaker day by day.
She tried hard to swallow more food, but it was in vain.
One night, she coughed up blood.
Su Su's magical power begins to disappear, and its doom is coming.
And she lost the bet.
Tantai Jin said so many times that he wanted her to die, but this time, he really wanted her life.
She fell into a deep sleep. The next day, the maid pushed her hard and found that Su Su had no response and her mouth was full of blood. Only then did she realize the seriousness of the matter.
The matter of vomiting blood finally allowed Su Su to leave the Chaos Chamber.
Someone checked her pulse and vaguely said something.
"This girl is weak, but I can't see anything wrong with her. As for her eyes, I'm afraid she was temporarily blinded after staying in a dark place for a long time."
The other person on the other end didn't speak for a long time.
Su Su heard a low sneer.
"Since she likes to play tricks so much, I will help her. If she wants to come out, she can stay here."
A warm force was injected into her wrist, and it was not until evening that Su Su finally woke up.
Magatama looked at the little master's thin body in disbelief and cried loudly.
This was the second time since it became conscious that it cried so sadly. The last time was when Su Su’s mother passed away.
Magatama injected all the spiritual energy she had gained from practicing in the human world for more than a year into Susu's body, finally making her feel better.
Su Su gasped, her vision was dark, but she knew it was daytime.
Her eyes were completely blind.
Magatama saw Susu's gloomy expression.
After a long silence, it made up its mind and whispered: "I will take you home."
——Go back to the Hengyang Sect five hundred years later, to Changze Mountain, the place where you were born, and you will no longer feel the pain you feel now.
Your eyes can be restored to light, and you can be a fairy again without suffering any more.
The girl stumbled out of bed, her lips were chapped, there was no one around, and the surrounding was eerily quiet.
Magatama quickly said: "Go left, be careful. Yes, go forward, did you touch the table?"
Su Su touched the tea cup on the table and poured half a glass of water to drink.
Magatama saw that her fingers were red and swollen. They were no longer as slender and white as they used to be. It couldn't bear to look at them anymore.
Su Su said hoarsely: "I'm back, what should I do with my father, my uncles, senior brother Gongye, and my fellow disciples?"
Everyone will die.
Just like in the nightmare created by the nightmare, one by one died.
The eight elders spent all their cultivation and sent her to five hundred years ago. If she escaped back to Hengyang Sect, she would not have a second chance.
Magatama was silent.
It is the Nine Heavens Magatama, which was born in ancient times, but it is not as good as other artifacts that were born at the same time and can move the wind and rain. An ancient jade stone that was buried underground for countless years slowly developed spiritual wisdom and took its later form.
It doesn't know how many years it has been practicing. It should be one with the mountains and rivers of the Three Realms. Compared with pity for Su Su, it has a greater sense of mission for the common people.
Assisting the host to remove the demon and protect the common people is the meaning of its existence.
It was extremely sad, and after a while it made up its mind and said: "The Soul-Destroying Nail is broken, the mission has failed, I will take you away!"
The jade bracelet on her wrist shone brightly, and Su Su suddenly held down the magatama.
"little Master?"
Su Su said: "Wait a little longer, I... have one last solution."
"What?" Magatama stared at her blankly, a faint smile appeared on the girl's pale face, like a flower stained with morning dew.
The fragile beauty blooms before dying.
Xiaohui said happily: "Madam, you don't know that that woman was thrown into the cold palace by His Majesty. I heard that when summer comes, snakes, insects, rats and ants are infested in that place, and the food is sour. Your Majesty is completely disgusted this time."
Got her!"
Ye Bingshang put down the clothes she was about to finish and raised her beautiful eyes: "Be careful what you say."
Xiaohui hurriedly patted her mouth: "Look at this slave's mouth, Madam has taught her so many times but she still can't learn it. Madam can't think of sisterly feelings and sympathize with her this time!"
Ye Bingshang nodded: "Of course not. The third sister wants to harm Your Majesty, so His Majesty spares her life as a mercy."
"My slave also heard that the man's eyesight is blind."
Ye Bingshang paused for a moment: "Really?"
In the afternoon, she went to deliver ready-made clothes to Tantai Jin, and happened to meet the imperial doctor who was examining Tantai Jin.
The elegant fragrance in the room made Ye Bingshang see the longevity flower at a glance.
The longevity flowers are about to bloom, and they have a different kind of beauty in the sunlight.
Tantai Jin was raised casually and had no intention of taking it. Everyone in the palace knew that His Majesty had such a flower, and they were all guessing who His Majesty would leave the Immortality Flower to.
Ye Bingshang suddenly remembered the third sister's invisible eyes.
If it is the longevity flower, the third sister's health will definitely get better again...
Tantai Jin saw her and said calmly: "Come and sit."
The two played a game of chess as usual. Ye Bingshang said sheepishly: "It's my birthday in a few days. I'm brave. Can I ask your Majesty for something?"
This was the first time she came to Zhou to make a request to Tantai Jin.
Thinking of the broken heart-protecting scale, Tantai Jin nodded: "Say."
Ye Bingshang said: "I hope that Your Majesty can accompany me and my mother to have a meal together."
After saying that, she tightened her handkerchief and looked at Tantai Jin anxiously.
Tantai Jin said: "Okay."
Ye Bingshang smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Ye Bingshang was the only woman in the harem who had a title. Her birthday was carefully planned by the female officials.
There were no more maids around Su Su, and there was only a hard bed and a table with a teapot in the cold palace.
It took several days after she woke up to realize that she could no longer use any spiritual power.
Now she is no different from an ordinary mortal.
Magatama told her that there were still countless weak water arrows aimed at her secretly. Once she wanted to escape from the Zhou Palace, those arrows would be shot out without hesitation.
Unfortunately, they didn't know that Susu had lost the ability to resist.
