Chapter 139: Incurring a fatal disaster
Fang Zhiyuan frowned slightly, and with a serious expression, he began to carefully analyze every detail: "According to the detailed test results of Sister Xinyao, the girl who was hit by the forbidden technique is actually the eldest princess!"
At this point, he couldn't help but raise his voice and his tone became serious. "You know, she's just a princess. Why would the prince take such a huge risk to use such a sinister and cruel forbidden technique on her? Therefore, there must be another hidden reason!"
Fang Zhiyuan's words were like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone's ears.
For a moment, everyone present was silent, lost in deep thought. Zhao Yue'er, in particular, had a look of surprise and worry on her face.
Wang Xinyao, who had been standing quietly by, spoke up, "Brother-in-law is absolutely right. In my opinion, this matter is by no means as simple as it appears. Perhaps Prince Yu is just a small pawn manipulated by those behind the scenes. The person who truly controls the situation and orchestrates this conspiracy is probably still very hidden..."
Zhao Haoxuan's face was solemn. "If this is true, then the person behind this must have a bigger conspiracy. We must find evidence and expose the truth as soon as possible, otherwise my father will still be in the dark and may be in danger at any time."
"Brother Prince, don't worry, we will definitely help you with all our strength. After I pick up the goods this time, I will tell my grandfather about this and ask him to lend you a helping hand." Zhao Yue'er's eyes were firm.
Zhao Haoxuan said solemnly, "Thank you, Yue'er. My whereabouts cannot be revealed at all for the time being. Even my father, the emperor, or my uncle, cannot let them know!"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is absolutely right. While our strength is not yet strong enough to dominate the world, the best strategy is to hide and wait for the opportunity!" Fang Zhiyuan nodded in response.
After thinking for a moment, Fang Zhiyuan said, "But everyone still needs to be careful. Since the other party can set up such a large-scale scheme, they must have many spies. Let's start by investigating those girls who have been hit by the forbidden technique and see if we can find clues that point to the mastermind behind it."
Wang Xinyao also responded, "I will search for the Resurrection Herb without stopping. My sister and Brother Zhao are both very close relatives of this girl. If we find the Resurrection Herb, we will all spend more time together to awaken her and restore her normal consciousness!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Zhao Yue'er's emotions calmed down a bit. She sighed helplessly, "Crown Prince, Xinyao, the palace is densely populated with spies. If you make any mistakes, your story will spread like wildfire. Not to mention the people who are hunting you down, if the emperor finds out that you're marrying into his family, it will most likely bring about a fatal disaster for Sister Xinyao."
Zhao Yue'er's face was still filled with worry after she finished speaking. "Now that things have come to this, I can only stand by you. But you must promise me that you will be extremely cautious in your actions."
Hearing Zhao Yue'er repeatedly mentioning the matter of marrying into the wife's family, Wang Xinyao couldn't help but become worried. It seemed that she had thought the matter was too simple at the time.
In the ancient times when imperial power was supreme, which emperor could tolerate his prince marrying a widow? Even if it was a false rumor, it was absolutely unacceptable!
Zhao Haoxuan also noticed Wang Xinyao's panic and stepped forward to comfort her. "Don't be afraid, Xinyao. Even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up. I will never let my father hurt you in the slightest."
After hearing what Zhao Haoxuan said, Wang Xinyao felt a little relieved and nodded slightly in response.
Fang Zhiyuan said solemnly, "Your Highness, Sister Xinyao, although the situation is temporarily stable, we must hurry to find the Resurrection Grass. After all, the enemy is hiding in the dark, and every moment of delay increases the danger."
The people around nodded in agreement, and everyone was well aware of the urgency of the current situation.
At this moment, Wang Xinyao seemed to suddenly remember something important, and she quickly reached into her pocket and fumbled around.
After a while, she took out two small and exquisite jade bottles, one of which contained the Spirit Gathering Pill and the other the Marrow Cleansing Pill.
Wang Xinyao took out two pills from the pot and handed them to Fang Zhiyuan, saying softly, "Brother-in-law, you must have been stuck at the peak of the Grandmaster realm for a long time, right? This is a second-grade pill I personally refined. It may help you break through the bottleneck and advance to the spiritual realm!"
"What? Spirit Gathering Pill and Marrow Cleansing Pill? And they are of second grade quality?" Fang Zhiyuan, who had always been very calm, became surprised when he saw the pills in Wang Xinyao's hand. He widened his eyes and shouted in disbelief.
You know, even with Fang Zhiyuan's wealthy family, it is extremely difficult to buy such precious cultivation elixirs.
What's more, Wang Xinyao in front of him actually took out two such rare pills at once, which really shocked him.
Wang Xinyao is young, but not only does she have superb medical skills, she also has such high attainments in alchemy.
At this moment, he was very glad that he did not look down on her because of her shabby clothes.
"Xinyao, I also want elixirs, I also want to practice, I don't want to be the person who can only hide behind you and be protected by you!" Zhao Yue'er shouted excitedly, with determination and desire flashing in her eyes.
Fang Zhiyuan opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but swallowed the words back.
He naturally understood how precious this elixir was and it was not something that could be given to others casually.
However, looking at Zhao Yue'er's expectant eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little hopeful.
Fang Zhiyuan also wanted Yue'er to embark on the path of cultivation. Wouldn't it be wonderful if she could easily gain power?
In this way, even if he is not by her side, if she encounters something like the previous one again, Yue'er will have enough ability to protect herself.
And he no longer had to worry about losing her like a frightened bird.
Wang Xinyao said with joy, "Sister, you want to practice cultivation? That's great!"
Before she finished speaking, she took out two pills emitting a faint fragrance without hesitation and handed them to Zhao Yue'er.
Zhao Yue'er was as excited as a child. She hurriedly took the two precious pills and held them tightly in her hands.
She said to Fang Zhiyuan with a smile on her face: "My husband, I can finally practice cultivation.
From now on, I can fight alongside you and no longer have to worry about holding you back. This is fantastic!"
Seeing this, Fang Zhiyuan's eyes moistened slightly. He walked forward and gently held Zhao Yue'er's hand, his voice choked with sobs, "Yue'er, this is our new starting point."
Ever since Zhao Yue'er fell off the carriage, Fang Zhiyuan always stayed by her side, afraid that she would get hurt. He was extremely nervous.
