Chapter 148 The Persian Saint Arrives
He couldn't draw the talisman in the afternoon, so he decided to use blood, which turned out to be more effective than cinnabar.
Everything was ready. The imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital used a needle to cut Jiang Hetang's fingertip, but not a drop of blood came out for a long time.
Jiang Hetang snatched the dagger from Taotao and slashed his hand with it, causing blood to gush out.
Yuan Tianzhen glanced away with a painful look.
Both Jiang Hetang and Xiao Mingyue are very important to her.
After half a bowl of blood was collected, Yuan Tianzhen quickly applied medicine and bandaged it.
Liu Wangxing began his "practice".
But all I saw was a strong wind blowing outside, heavy rain pouring down, and the candlelight in the hall flickering.
Suddenly, thunder roared and the bright moon opened its eyes.
But he fell asleep again the next moment, so quickly that Yuan Tianzhen went forward in surprise, but then thought he was seeing things.
"Mingyue just woke up! How come she fell asleep again?"
Jiang Hetang also saw that scene. At the same time, Liu Wangxing suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, fell to the ground, and lost consciousness.
All this happened so fast, so quickly, and it was really unbelievable.
Fortunately, all the previous imperial physicians had left, leaving only Jiang Hetang, Yuan Tianzhen, Liu Wangxing, Hua Dexing, and Zhizhi Taotao.
The little pony was guarding the door and not letting anyone get close.
Hua Dexing felt Liu Wangxing's pulse and said, "It's okay, it's just a case of anxiety. Just rest and you'll be fine."
Taotao showed Hua Dexing the way, and he carried Liu Wangxing to the bed in the side hall.
Jiang Hetang and Yuan Tianzhen held hands, not knowing what to do, and just sat there watching the bright moon, sleepless all night.
Day two.
Xiao Mazi came to report, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Su has been waiting at the gate for a long time. He said that the Persian princess is waiting to see you in the palace."
Jiang Hetang yawned, covered Yuan Tianzhen on the small couch with a quilt, and walked out.
He waved to call Eunuch Su, and Eunuch Su understood.
"This Persian princess was waiting at the palace gate last night. I don't know why, but the palace gate was locked, so there was no reason to let her in."
"I'm waiting at the door of the imperial study now."
Since all the palace maids in Mingyue Palace had been driven out and the two little girls didn't know how to serve, he washed himself and changed into the clothes brought by Eunuch Su.
"Let's go," he said to Xiao Mazi, "let someone watch over us. Ordinary people are not allowed to enter."
"Yes." Xiao Mazi responded respectfully.
My little girlfriend is now also a eunuch in the palace!
After a glorious life, looking back, I was only ten years old.
Before entering the imperial study, Jiang Hetang smelled a strange fragrance and subconsciously held his breath.
After seeing that there was nothing unusual with the people around him, he walked into the hall normally.
After all, as a member of the royal family, one has to be on guard.
"Greetings to the Emperor of Great Zhou."
The woman in front of me was wearing Persian-style clothing, a silk scarf on her head, and a circle of bells hanging around her waist. Every time she moved, a crisp sound was heard.
She bowed to Jiang Hetang.
After all, she was the princess and saint of Persia. Jiang Hetang gave her a seat before asking her the reason for her coming.
The Persians had just arrived yesterday. Logically, there was no need for them to come and visit him the next day. Moreover, she came alone, so how could Jiang Hetang not be wary?
"Emperor of the Great Zhou, I'm here to deliver something." He opened the box in his hand, revealing a hairpin inside.
Jiang Hetang frowned: "What is this?"
The hairpin in front of him was dull and even a little old.
"This item is called the Heyue Hairpin, and it has been worshipped by the saints of our Persian past generations."
"It is said that tens of thousands of years ago, before the goddess of this world fell, she left this sacred object behind to protect our Persian land."
"And now, it's time to follow the goddess's instructions and hand her over to a woman from the Great Zhou."
Jiang Hetang was stunned. What goddess? What tens of thousands of years? What was all that? Besides, this hairpin… even the maid didn't like to use it. "Who should I give this hairpin to? I can't help you."
He was so annoyed. Xiao Mingyue hadn't even woken up yet, and he was already causing trouble.
Saint: "She is right here."
Jiang Hetang subconsciously looked left and right, a chill running down his spine. Then, as if realizing it, he asked, "You mean, she's in the palace?"
The saint didn't say anything, but pointed in a direction.
Jiang Hetang looked in the direction she pointed and his heart skipped a beat. Isn't this the direction of Mingyue's bedroom?
"Saint, is it as simple as just giving her a hairpin when you find her?"
The Saint nodded and said, "This is what is described in the scriptures passed down from generation to generation by our Saints."
"It must be delivered to that person a thousand years from now."
Jiang Hetang was still worried. Who could tell whether something like this was true or not? "Who knows if what you said is true or not? What will happen if I don't send it? How can you be sure who it is?"
The saint was not angry and answered Jiang Hetang's questions one by one.
"This is the instruction passed down by the first Saint. I swear in the Saint's name that if what I say is false in the slightest, I will die a miserable death in my lifetime."
Jiang Hetang felt a little relieved now. After all, Persia is a country that respects religious beliefs.
"As for how to find that person," the Saintess smiled and pointed in that direction, "I can see golden light over there."
Jiang Hetang thought about it and agreed to take her there. If it was really Mingyue’s bedroom, he would not let her enter Mingyue’s room at that time.
"Saint, I can let you find someone in the palace, but you are not allowed to barge in."
She bowed her head and nodded.
Jiang Hetang walked beside her and saw that she seemed to have been here several times before and arrived at Mingyue's bedroom accurately.
Standing at the door, the saint was stopped by the guards.
"Emperor of the Great Zhou, the person I'm looking for is in this hall."
This is a bit too coincidental.
Jiang Hetang stared at the saint.
until…
The Persian saint closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and muttered something. When she opened her eyes again, she said, "Please give this hairpin to the owner of this palace."
"After that, your current troubles will be easily solved."
She bowed to Jiang Hetang in Persian style and turned to leave.
Eunuch Su handed the hairpin in his hand to Jiang Hetang and signaled the young eunuch to follow and send her out.
"Your Majesty, this..." Seeing that he didn't take over for a long time, Eunuch Su didn't know what to do.
At this time, Liu Wangxing seemed to have noticed something and rushed out immediately, just in time to see a corner of the Persian saint's skirt left behind when she turned around.
"Just now...what was that?"
Seeing that Jiang Hetang was not going to pay attention to him, Eunuch Su took over the conversation, "Replying to Lord Liu, that was the Saint Girl of Persia."
Liu Wangxing nodded. "What is this stone stick in your hand?"
Eunuch Su then told what had just happened.
