Chapter 57 - 57: This Young Master Is a Fierce Medicine



Under the cold moon and above the cold river, the night wind rustled.

The foot of Spring Morning Peak was brightly lit. Three thousand imperial guards held powerful bows and crossbows and surrounded the entire Clear Water Villa in a solid formation.

Outside the entrance of the villa, chief constables of the Black Office were gathered and guarding everywhere strictly. There were countless officers and constables on both sides of the river, digging three feet into the ground to search for traces of the assassin.

A luxurious carriage driven by five horses was parked outside the villa.

Dongfang Liren, dressed in her silver python robe, was standing outside the carriage with her hands behind her back. She said angrily, “Is this how you work? There was news of the Blood Bodhi a month ago. He attempted to assassinate me at Her Majesty’s feet. You’ve been looking for him for so long but haven’t found anything…”

She Long and the other chief constables of the Black Office were all full of lingering fear. If something had really happened to the Prince of Jing today, no matter what the reason was, they would have all lost their heads. At this moment, they wished they could enter the carriage and kowtow to Hero Ye.

Dongfang Liren knew that it had been her own carelessness that had allowed the assassin to find an opportunity, so she didn’t punish the people of the Black Office. After warning them, she returned to the carriage.

The carriage of the prince of the blood was very big, like a small house. A white screen covered the bed.

Ye Jingtang was lying on the bed. His outer robe had been taken off, revealing his well-proportioned upper body muscles, and he was only wearing thin pants. He was sleeping peacefully.

A female doctor dressed as a rich madam took his pulse and carefully checked his physical condition.

Dongfang Liren maintained a calm and dignified expression as she went behind the screen and saw Ye Jingtang’s naked upper body. Her face turned red, and she retreated from the screen and sat on the soft couch.

Looking at Ye Jingtang’s side profile, she couldn’t help recalling today’s experience.

In the afternoon, she had asked Ye Jingtang to teach her the Heaven Equaling Saber. Seeing that he was so clumsy that he couldn’t explain it clearly, she had thought that he was just so-so.

She had posed as an expert for a long time, but not long after, she had hidden behind him and watched him use the Heaven Equaling Saber to fight the enemy…

Now that she thought about it, she felt a little ashamed. She felt like a half-baked scholar who had not studied for a few days and said that a famous scholar couldn’t write.

Although the scholar didn’t say it on the surface, he had probably ridiculed her countless times in his head…

Dongfang Liren’s eyes were full of displeasure. She really wanted to blame Ye Jingtang for being dishonest. He didn’t tell her even after he learned it, causing her to be arrogant and make a fool of herself.

But when she thought of Ye Jingtang standing in front of her on the street, and the sense of security she had when she hid behind his back…

Dongfang Liren had only encountered assassins a few times, and they were all resolved by the White-Haired Diting. She couldn’t even see the assassins’ faces. This feeling of hiding behind a man and being protected is really…

It really doesn’t match my image…

After some time, the madam stood up. Dongfang Liren asked, “Madam Wang, how are his injuries?”

Madam Wang was the daughter-in-law of the old Imperial Physician Wang. She usually only treated the imperial family and was Dongfang Liren’s accompanying doctor.

Madam Wang retracted her fingers and said respectfully, “Young Master Ye’s physique is extremely healthy. Even if he didn’t take the Angong pill, he would have recovered on his own in three to five days.”

Dongfang Liren could tell that Madam Wang was complaining that she had made a mountain out of a molehill, but she didn’t mind. “He is a martial artist. Does he have any old injuries?”

“Young Master Ye has practiced a lot of martial arts, but he hasn’t learned well, causing his qi meridians to be slightly messy. He just needs to recuperate more and calm his qi.”

“Oh?”

“Second, Young Master Ye’s body is too good, and he’s too diligent in martial arts, resulting in his yang qi being too strong and accumulating in his internal organs. He needs to recuperate in moderation on a daily basis.”

“Hmm?” Dongfang Liren didn’t understand and asked, “What do you mean?”

Madam Wang was a little hesitant, but she still explained, “He’s eighteen or nineteen years old and young and vigorous, but he doesn’t have a wife or concubine. If he stifles himself for too long, he will have problems. He has to take appropriate measures to recuperate his body and mind.”

Dongfang Liren understood what she meant this time, and a strange look flashed across her eyes. “He… he is so handsome. Has he never touched a woman?”

“I’m not sure about the past, but this year, he must have adhered to the path of a gentleman and didn’t get close to women. Hmm… This young master’s physique is too healthy. If he has a wife, she might suffer a little.”

Dongfang Liren was baffled. “Why?

Madam Wang knew that the Prince of Jing’s physical condition was very good, but she definitely couldn’t handle Young Master Ye, so she had tactfully reminded her. Seeing that the Prince of Jing, who was still inexperienced, didn’t understand, she explained gently, “It’s harmful to a man’s body to have excessive energy, and it’s the same for women. This young master is a fierce medicine. If his wife’s body is delicate and soft, she won’t be able to withstand the effects of the medicine. She will definitely hide in her maiden home every two or three days.”

Dongfang Liren understood what she meant and had a strange look in her eyes. “Then, how do we treat it?”

If this young master’s wife doesn’t mind, she can share the burden with a few concubines. If she minds, she can strengthen her body. But it will be… difficult to catch up to this young master.”

With that, Madam Wang left the carriage with the help of a maidservant.

Dongfang Liren waited for the footsteps to disappear before getting up and walking behind the screen. She sat down beside the soft bed and scanned Ye Jingtang’s face and chest.

Is he so fierce? He doesn’t look lecherous…

No, if someone’s body is too good and energetic, they will be fierce. It has nothing to do with character…

The doctor has already explained everything, so he just has to follow the doctor’s orders and quickly find a wife to take care of it…

No, he has to find a few…

But how can I tell him this? Isn’t this pulling a gentleman onto the demonic path…

While Dongfang Liren was in a daze, a sound came from outside the carriage. “Your Highness, Lord Wang of the Imperial Capital government has arrived.”

The Blood Bodhi had yet to be brought to justice. Dongfang Liren had to mobilize the capital’s guards to seal the entrances and exits of the capital. She quickly restrained her distracting thoughts and took a thin blanket from the bed to cover Ye Jingtang…

When it was almost midnight, a dense army of imperial guards was surrounding Clear Water Villa, ready to send the empress dowager and the Prince of Jing back to the capital to prevent any more accidents.

The officials who had rushed over from the capital were reporting matters to Dongfang Liren by the river and listening to her orders.

Inside Clear Water Villa, a carved carriage carried by eight eunuchs slowly walked out under the protection of the imperial guards.

The empress dowager had fallen asleep after soaking in the hot spring. She was really not in a good mood to be pulled out of bed in the middle of the night.

But after learning that something had happened to the Prince of Jing, she didn’t complain. She was well-behaved as she was escorted back to the palace and ended her trip of relaxation.

The empress dowager was wearing a gorgeous phoenix dress. With the help of the palace maid Hongyu, she boarded the carriage and muttered to Hongyu with a hint of sleepiness, “Those thieves really know how to pick a date. Fortunately, everyone is safe and sound…”

As soon as she entered the carriage, she saw a man covered by a thin blanket lying on the soft bed behind the screen. She could see his handsome face. He exuded a cold and stern temperament from the inside out, and he was much more attractive than in the portrait.

I

The empress dowager was no longer sleepy. She quickly folded her hands at her waist and assumed the posture of a dignified and noble empress dowager. “This young master… are you asleep?”

Finding that the man’s eyes were closed, the empress dowager stopped talking and walked to the screen.

Hongyu followed behind with small steps. She wanted to remind the empress dowager to avoid taboos, but when she saw the man’s appearance, she dismissed the idea. She walked up to him sneakily and stretched her head forward to size him up. “Wow, this young master is really…”

As she spoke, she reached out to touch Ye Jingtang’s arm.

The empress dowager was slightly displeased. She patted the back of Hongyu’s hand. “Are you in heat? Have you gone crazy from holding it in in the palace?”

Aren’t you the same… Hongyu quickly retracted her hand and looked at him curiously. “Could this young master be the Prince of Jing’s…”

“Most likely. She’s thin-skinned, so don’t talk nonsense.”

The empress dowager’s posture was dignified and elegant. Her perfectly curvy buttocks rested on the round stool as she carefully sized up Ye Jingtang’s appearance. Perhaps she wanted to see how serious his injury was, so she even raised her hand to lift the thin blanket.

But just as her hand moved, hurried footsteps and Dongfang Liren’s voice sounded from outside. “Empress Dowager, why did you come out yourself?”

The empress dowager retracted her hand in shock. She hurriedly stood up and put on the dignified posture that an empress dowager should have. She waited for Dongfang Liren to enter before saying unhurriedly, “You were busy, so I came out by myself. This is Young Master Ye, right? How is his injury?”

Dongfang Liren went over and escorted the empress dowager out. “There’s a mess outside. He risked his life to protect me. He’s slightly injured and needs to recuperate. Let’s go out and talk!”

The empress dowager felt that she was being pushed out. She couldn’t help feeling helpless, but she couldn’t say anything. She could only obediently walk out…

Late at night.

Somewhere downstream of Clear River, a lone boat was floating on the sparkling river. There was no one on the boat.

Clatter!

With a splash, the reflection of the silver moon shattered. A figure crawled up from the left side of the boat like a water ghost, flipped into the small boat, threw his iron cane to the side, picked up the medicine he had prepared, and bandaged his right ear.

The old man had traveled Jianghu his entire life and had never revealed his real name. He had almost forgotten his name. The people of Jianghu gave him the nickname ‘Blood Bodhi’, so he also called himself Blood Bodhi.

The title of Blood Bodhi had made people tremble in fear in the Jianghu of the Heavenly South more than ten years ago. His most famous feat was assassinating a Grandmaster of the Seven Mysteries Sect of the Heavenly South. Dozens of first and second-rate experts had died at his hands.

It was not until he assassinated the governor of Chong Province and offended the Imperial Court and the Heavenly South’s Jianghu simultaneously that he ran to Northern Liang.

As an assassin who had long retired from Jianghu, the Blood Bodhi didn’t lack money at all. He didn’t owe anyone any favor even though he had traveled thousands of kilometers alone. It wasn’t easy to get him to return to Jianghu.

The reason the Blood Bodhi returned from Northern Liang this time and accepted the business of assassinating the Prince of Jing was that the Green Bandits had given him an offer he couldn’t refuse: the Roaring Dragon Chart.

The Blood Bodhi was over 70 years old. If nothing went wrong, his soul would return to the earth in a few years. As a top expert who had roamed Jianghu unrestrained his entire life, who didn’t want to return to the peak and be carefree for 60 years?

Although the Green Bandits didn’t promise the Longevity Picture, any one of the nine pages of the Roaring Dragon Chart could improve one’s physique and extend one’s lifespan.

At first, the Blood Bodhi didn’t believe it. But in the face of the insurmountable barrier of life and death, he still came to the capital and met the contact.

The contact called himself ‘Yan Bugui’, and there was a high chance that he was from the capital. The Green Bandits didn’t lie. Yan Bugui had shown him a side that far exceeded ordinary people. He had a strong physique and extraordinary strength. He had practiced the Dragon Form Picture in the Roaring Dragon Chart.

The Blood Bodhi decided to help the Green Bandits assassinate the empress’s sister at all costs to learn the Dragon Form Picture.

But it was impossible for Yan Bugui to pay first, and it was still unknown when he would be able to learn it.

But today, the Blood Bodhi had suddenly made an unexpected discovery.

Just now, he had stabbed his opponent’s chest with his iron cane but failed to break through his defense. The other party must have placed something on his chest.

The material of that thing was unbelievably tough. It was definitely not a heart-protecting mirror made of gold and iron. From the young saberman’s reaction, he was extremely confident in the item on his chest, knowing that no matter what method the Blood Bodhi used, it was impossible to pierce it.

The Blood Bodhi had roamed Jianghu his entire life and had heard of all kinds of strange divine weapons. Regarding this ‘small and paper-thin item that even Grandmasters of Jianghu couldn’t break through the defense of’, the first thing that came to his mind was the heavenly book he dreamed of.

If that young saberman really had a page of the Roaring Dragon Chart on him, judging from the fact that his martial arts skills and age didn’t match at all, it was very likely to be the legendary ‘Beauty-Retaining Picture’. If he learned it, he could return to his youth, and it wouldn’t be a problem for him to reach a hundred years old…

When the Blood Bodhi thought of this, his heart stirred as he looked in the direction of Yun’an City.

But when he thought of the young saberman’s extremely domineering saber technique and extremely steady personality, the Blood Bodhi felt his scalp tingle and calmed down for the time being.

After all, if it weren’t for the fact that the other party was too steady today, not to mention longevity, it would have been his death anniversary next year… And no one would have burned paper for him…
