Chapter 772 This time and that time

Return to Prince Chan’s Mansion.

Gu Chan immediately summoned a dozen famous doctors to treat Xuanyuan Qing.

Half an hour later, the doctors all stood aside, shaking their heads, with bitter faces and helpless expressions.

Gu Chan glared at them and said, “Why don’t you say something? I’m a veterinarian, and my medical skills are poor. You are all famous doctors in Kyoto, so why are you standing here without saying a word?”

“Prince Chan, please forgive me for speaking frankly, but the Ninth Prince is already hanging on to his last breath, and we are helpless!”

“Yes! In this case, I’m afraid we can only ask the Imperial Master to light the Seven Star Lamp to prolong his life.”

“If you, Lord Chan, can find a red spider lily to make medicine for the Ninth Prince, perhaps you can save his life.”

Gu Chan was stunned when she heard this, and her face became extremely stiff.

All she could do now was to try her best to prolong Xuanyuan Qing’s life. As for using the red spider lily as a medicine, she would probably have to do it later.

Thinking of this, Gu Chan asked, “Where can I find this red spider lily?”

“Your Highness, looking across the world, this magical herb grows nowhere else except on the Other Shore Mountain in Diyue Country,” a doctor replied.

“Okay! I understand. You guys go back then! I will find a way to keep him alive.” Gu Chan waved her hand and said.

The doctors hurriedly bowed and said goodbye.

After they left, Ouyang Wan’er stepped forward and said, “My husband, the Imperial Master is the Crown Prince’s lackey. If you ask him to save the Ninth Prince, I’m afraid he won’t agree.”

“Now in Kyoto, besides him, who else can set up the Seven-Star Lantern?” Gu Chan asked.

Ouyang Wan’er and the other two looked at each other in bewilderment.

Shen Yang smiled bitterly and said, “The Seven Star Lamp is a secret technique of the Yin Yang Sect. No one else knows it except him.”

“Shen Yang, go back to the Ministry of War and do your thing first. Don’t get involved in this matter, otherwise I’m afraid the prince will be angry with you.” Gu Chan ordered.

“But Second Uncle…”

“Go and do as I tell you. The Ninth Prince’s life is on my shoulders. I will not let him die in vain.” Gu Chan interrupted sternly.

Shen Yang nodded helplessly and could only say goodbye and leave silently.

Gu Chan looked at Ouyang Wan’er and said, “Wan’er, the three of you quickly go to the backyard and clean up a relatively secluded small courtyard, then carry him in and take good care of him. I will go to the Imperial Master’s Mansion to find Master Tiancan.”

“Yes, husband.” The three responded in unison.

Then, they followed Gu Chan’s instructions and went to the backyard to clean up a secluded courtyard, carried the dying Xuanyuan Qing in, and laid him down to take care of him.

Gu Chan left Prince Chan’s Mansion alone and rushed to the Imperial Master’s Mansion.

However, as she expected, she was stopped by the guards at the gate of the Imperial Master’s Mansion as soon as she arrived. The guards said, “Prince Chan, please don’t embarrass me. The Imperial Master has ordered that if you come, please go back. He will not see you, nor allow you to enter the mansion.”

“Then you go in and tell him that as long as he is willing to set up the Seven Star Lamp to extend the life of the Ninth Prince, I will agree to one of his conditions. Anyway, this matter can be negotiated.” Gu Chan said cunningly.

After hearing what she said, the guard nodded gently and went into the mansion to report.

After a while, the guard came out again, politely welcomed Gu Chan in, and led her all the way to the study in the backyard of the Imperial Master’s Mansion.

At this time, Master Tiancan was sitting behind his desk sipping fragrant tea with a wry smile on his face.

Gu Chan walked to the desk, stretched out her hand to pull over a chair and sat down, and said directly, “Tell me! What do I want you to help me extend the life of the Ninth Prince.”

“Can I ask you a question?” Master Tiancan said with a strange laugh.

“Just say it.” Gu Chan said with her arms crossed over her chest.

Master Tiancan was silent for a moment, then said with a strange smile, “Why do you want to save the Ninth Prince so much? In my opinion, you and him only had a little friendship when you fought side by side in Zhongyuan City. It’s far from the point where you have to sacrifice yourself to save him, right?”

“It’s okay for me to like him! Not only is he handsome, but he’s also a good person. If he becomes the emperor, the people of Tiancang will have a good life. Besides, I can’t always expect that the prince will be nice to me when he becomes the emperor in the future?” Gu Chan said unhappily.

“Hahahaha…” Master Tiancan suddenly laughed out loud with his head raised.

Gu Chan glared at him and said, “What are you laughing at?”

“Could it be that the rumors are true, and you really have a homosexual tendency and prefer men to women?” Master Tiancan said jokingly.

“Oh! Stop talking nonsense and just say it straight! Will you help me save him?” Gu Chan was in no mood to say these things and urged directly.

As a normal woman, what’s wrong with her liking a handsome guy like Xuanyuan Qing?

Besides, Xuanyuan Qing’s ability and character are indeed far superior to Xuanyuan Long’s. Only when he becomes the emperor can the people of Tiancang Kingdom live a good life. So no matter from which perspective, she will definitely save this kid.

Master Tiancan stopped laughing and said seriously, “Even if I can extend his life, given his current condition, if he doesn’t have the red spider lily as a medicine, he will still die in the end. Are you willing to go to the Earth Moon Country to pick this magical herb for him?”

“Let’s extend his life first. Even if I want to go to Diyue Kingdom, I have to ask the prince to grant me land first. I will take my family and leave first.” Gu Chan said frankly.

Master Tiancan nodded repeatedly and said sarcastically, “Gu Chan, Gu Chan, no matter how capable you are, you still failed in this fight for the throne. In the end, you still failed to help the Ninth Prince ascend the throne. It seems that the late emperor made a mistake in entrusting the imperial seal to you. You are still too young.”

“This is a different time and I have no choice due to the circumstances. The throne of Tiancang Kingdom has been vacant for too long, so I can only do this. And to put it bluntly, I’m just a child with limited abilities. You can’t expect me to accomplish everything, right?” Gu Chan said with a wry smile.

But don’t be fooled by what she said, she doesn’t really think that way.

Indeed, this time she was forced into a situation where she had no choice but to hand over the imperial seal to Xuanyuan Long. However, once she leaves Kyoto and rescues Xuanyuan Qing, it is not impossible for her to make a comeback.

To use modern words, a man who knows the times is a hero. If you, Xuanyuan Long, want to be the emperor, then I will let you be the emperor for the time being!
And for her, this was just because she was a little weak and failed to achieve her original goal. It did not endanger her life. Anyway, one day, she would come back to avenge this arrow.

At that time, it would not be her who should take ruthless action, but Xuanyuan Qing.
