Chapter 47: Recovery

  Lin Qingyu's hands slowly closed in on Hongjun's heart, gradually reducing the flow of spiritual energy until his entire heart was restored to its original state, as if it had never been injured. Then, she withdrew her hands and stopped transmitting spiritual energy.

  As for the knife wound on his chest, Lin Qingyu didn't even flinch. She really didn't want to arouse suspicion, so she just left it alone to heal slowly by itself!

  This was Lin Qingyu's first time using her spiritual energy to save someone since she started cultivating, so she was incredibly tense. As a result, once she let go, she collapsed completely. Furthermore, she had only recently entered the middle stage of Qi refinement, and the spiritual energy inside her body wasn't very stable to begin with. After such a long time, it was somewhat overloaded, and her entire face turned as white as that of Yongzheng lying in bed.

  Yin Zhen floated quietly in the air, looking down at Fu Jin who was lying on her body, panting heavily after exhausting herself to save her. Her heart felt a mix of sour, sweet, bitter and spicy emotions, truly a complex entanglement of feelings!

  He made a decision in his heart: from now on, he must take good care of himself and not let himself be so tired again!

  But had no idea at all, if this decision of his own were to be made known to others and spread out, how many people would be frightened by it.

  In the Qing dynasty where men were superior to women, Yongzheng's decision was indeed eye-catching. After all, in their minds, it was a matter of course for wives and concubines to sacrifice everything for their husbands.

  After gaining a bit more strength, Lin Qingyu immediately got up and sat down beside Yun Chen with her legs crossed, quietly recovering her spiritual energy. Having cultivated in the void for over a decade, she was accustomed to having spiritual energy by her side; without it, she really didn't feel a sense of security.

  Fortunately, Yong Chen was a spiritual body and could clearly see the small dots that others couldn't see, which were emitting light and rushing into Lin Qingyu's body one after another, causing her body to be surrounded by a mass of light.

  This miracle scene made our calm emperor stunned. What...what...is this?! Even if we already knew that our empress is not an ordinary person, but don't be so scary, okay?! He really can't accept it!

  Watching Lin Qingyu's sitting posture, Yongzheng thought to himself: This seems to be the Daoist cultivation posture! Could it be that Fuzheng is a legendary cultivator? It can't be true!

  It is said that this so-called 'cultivator', Yongzheng still learned from an ancient book.

  That ancient book was given to Yongzheng by Empress Nian of the Fuca clan at that time. It is said to be a relic from the previous dynasty. At that time, little Yongzheng treasured it so much that he would open it every night before going to sleep.

  Once accidentally spilled tea on the book, Yongzheng was heartbroken and quickly took it to the brazier to dry. After the water stains dried, Yongzheng discovered that the content inside had changed from beginning to end.

  Although Yongzheng was young, where in the imperial palace could there be simple little children? Of course, he knew that such a painstakingly hidden content would definitely be shocking.

  He was so curious that he couldn't sleep at night and read it with a lamp, only to find that it was some strange stories. Although, inevitably, there was some disappointment, it wasn't a treasure map or any earth-shattering secrets.

  However, the contents inside, such as: Cultivators, Elixirs, Immortality, Formations, Ascension to become an immortal... were truly unheard of. For Yongzheng, who had always only read Three Character Classic, Disciple Rules, and Analects, these things were quite attractive, making him read page after page with great interest, unknowingly finishing the entire book, only to discover that a whole night had passed, and it was almost time for him to enter the Imperial Study.

  The consequence of staying up all night to read was that Yongzheng yawned continuously the next day, didn't study seriously and was reported by his teacher to Emperor Kangxi. As a result, he not only got scolded by Emperor Kangxi but also had to copy "Analects" one hundred times as punishment. What's more, he was ridiculed by his third brother for a long time, it was truly a lesson that left a deep impression on him!

  With a resolute expression, Xiaoyanzi's beautiful face turned furious. In her anger, she flung the book into the brazier and burned it to ashes.

  Now, Yongzheng couldn't help but recall and sigh in regret! Combining it with the actions of his own wife, could it be that what was written in that book was all true? If only he had known earlier, he wouldn't have burned it away! Alas!

  No matter how tangled the threads of fate were, Lin Qingyu was unaware, for at this moment she was wholeheartedly recovering her spiritual energy.

  After recovering her spiritual energy, Lin Qingyu found that Yongzheng on the bed still hadn't woken up.

  At this point, Lin Qingyu was really worried. Yongzheng's body had obviously recovered, but why hadn't he woken up yet? She furrowed her brow, propped up her cheek with her hand and stared at Yongzheng in deep thought.

  Suddenly, Lin Qingyu's brain flashed with inspiration, her big watery eyes wide open, her mouth slightly ajar, and she said in disbelief: "It can't be... could it be that my soul has escaped?"

  "Absolutely not... absolutely not..." Lin Qingyu muttered to herself, straining her eyes wide open as she carefully looked around for a soul body named 'Yin Zan'.

  After searching for half a day without finding anything, Lin Qingyu suddenly slapped her forehead and thought to herself: "Yin Zhen was born as the crown prince and is next in line to inherit the throne, he naturally has dragon energy protecting his body. How could she, a small cultivator at the middle stage of Qi refining, possibly discover it? In that case, didn't he see what happened earlier?"

  Thinking of this, Lin Qingyu suddenly inhaled a mouthful of cool air, what should she do now? I really haven't done anything! I really didn't know that his soul had escaped and saw the scene just now! Lin Qingyu thought to herself with an ostrich mentality.

  Ostriches go with ostriches, but humans still need to be rescued.

  At this moment, Lin Qingyu decided to enter the space to see if there was anything that could save people. Anyway, Yin Zhen said that she must have seen it all, and she didn't need to be polite anymore, so she muttered "I want to enter the space" and disappeared.

  He stared at his wife, and suddenly she vanished into thin air right in front of him. Except for a slight twitch at the corner of his eye, he looked at her with super calmness, without any anxiety at all. This is called being shocked back to normal.

  Lin Qingyu entered the space and landed on a small island. She walked into a green bamboo house and found that she could go upstairs to the second floor. With a curious heart, she slowly climbed up the stairs to the second floor.

  Pushing open the large gate, what entered her line of sight was row upon row of shelves. On the shelves were neatly arranged all sorts of jade pendants and elixirs, almost dazzling Lin Qingyu's canine eyes. She couldn't help but swallow her saliva, wow, how many elixirs are there?

  It's really happening!! Lin Qingyu pinched her thigh hard, wincing in pain, and realized it wasn't a dream. Excited, she gazed greedily at the white jade bottles, ogling them repeatedly before suddenly remembering there was still a patient outside waiting for her to save him.

  If the guess is correct, he probably needs a Revival Pill!

  Then, Lin Qingyu muttered "Huanhun Dan" and carefully searched row by row.

  "Yes! Finally found it!"

  Lin Qingyu found the Resurrection Dan on the top shelf of the last rack. The preciousness of the Resurrection Dan can be seen from its placement. Lin Qingyu opened it and saw that there were only ten dan medicines inside, which was pitifully small. Thinking that he would have to give one to Yongzheng who was lying in bed soon made him feel a pang of heartache.

  Lin Qingyu took the medicine and left the space.

  Yin Zan saw his wife disappear and then reappear out of thin air, only to find that she was now holding a white jade bottle. With his discerning eye, it wasn't hard to tell that the bottle was extremely valuable. So, what could be inside the bottle that would have such great worth?

  Lin Qingyu poured out a golden light-emitting pill and fed it to Yongzheng with great reluctance.

  The pill dissolved as soon as it entered, and then, Yun Chen felt a suction force coming from his body, he involuntarily floated towards it, slowly entering inside.

  Yin Zhen discovered that he could control his body, was this the 'Dan medicine' mentioned in the book? He was very curious what kind of Dan medicine Fu Jin had given him to eat, and how it had such a magical effect. At this moment, he finally began to take an interest in cultivating his true self.

  In the Nurturing Heart Palace, Kangxi was delighted to hear that his fourth brother had awoken from his coma. His fourth brother had been injured and unconscious for several hours. As soon as his wife arrived, he woke up - what a lucky star she is! Indeed, my judgment is good, I have chosen such an auspicious daughter-in-law! Am I self-satisfied?

  When Yongzheng's body was slightly better, he got the permission of Kangxi and returned to the Fourth Beile Mansion for slow recovery.

  Lin Qingyu knew that Yongzheng, who had woken up after taking the Resurrection Pill, meant that he had really lost his soul. So at that time, he must have seen everything, and she was puzzled as to why Yongzheng didn't ask anything.

  Her heart felt slightly relieved, although he had found out some things and she didn't want to hide from him anymore, but she hadn't figured out how to tell him yet, so she had been avoiding Yongzheng lately.

  She had checked it out and found that Yongzheng was a spiritual root, and it was a golden spiritual root, which made Lin Qingyu envy, jealous and hate!

  In addition, she was preparing for her future cultivation and advancement. In the palace, she checked everyone she could get in touch with one by one, and found that except for Kangxi and Yongzheng, only the remaining eight dragons who had seized the throne in history had spiritual roots. Those maids, wet nurses, and eunuchs didn't have any.

  She didn't take it to heart, and after returning to the Beile Mansion, she found that there wasn't a single person with spiritual roots in the mansion either. She was extremely depressed, and secretly took advantage of Yongzheng's inattention to slip out of the Beile Mansion. On the bustling streets, Lin Qingyu still couldn't find anyone with spiritual roots.

  "Dependence, I'm going to die, how come all the spiritual roots are from the royal family?"

  At this moment, Lin Qingyu truly felt that her future was bleak! The little person in her heart was overflowing with tears...
