Chapter 1834: Chapter 1831: Promise

Moving forward at a speed invisible to the naked eye, slowly.

After adding medicinal herbs three times, just as they were about to be exhausted, the Gu insect barely moved a bit.

Cold sweat appeared on the Sacred Girl of the Southern Border’s forehead. The old nanny beside her was about to take the Commandery Prince’s blood when she was suddenly stopped by the Sacred Girl of the Southern Border.

The Sacred Girl of the Southern Border looked up at the Elder Princess, moved her lips, and said: “Your Highness, the promise you made to me earlier, I just want to confirm, as long as it doesn’t touch the interests of the residence, it’s okay, right?”

“Yes.” The Elder Princess sensed she wanted assurance and spoke plainly: “If the Saintess can cure Xiao Yi’s illness, I agree to your terms, and I will absolutely not go back on my word.”

“… Your Highness, okay, I will do my best.”

“No matter what I do next, I hope Her Highness the Elder Princess can help keep it a secret. If your Highness agrees, I…”

The Elder Princess, without any hesitation, said: “Alright, I promise, it will definitely not get out.”

The Sacred Girl of the Southern Border seemed to make a decision suddenly and asked the old woman to hand her the dagger.

The old woman, looking surprised, wanted to advise her but didn’t know what to say, especially in front of the Elder Princess, so she could only wink at the Sacred Girl of the Southern Border behind Her Highness’s back.

The Sacred Girl of the Southern Border gently shook her head: “I have made up my mind.”

Saying this, she placed the dagger on her finger, making a cut. When blood dripped into the Copper Box, an aroma even more enticing than before emerged.

The Gu insect, which had lingered on the wrist and was reluctant to leave, seemed to smell something fatal and ran forward without hesitation. A Gu insect of an indistinguishable species suddenly emerged from the flesh.

The Young Prince winced in pain, his body trembling instinctively, and the Gu insect that was going forward also paused.

Lu Sangqi quickly inserted the needles, and as he calmed down, the Sacred Girl of the Southern Border squeezed more blood in once again.

With a thud, the Gu insect leapt into the Copper Box, the old woman swiftly closed it with a thud, and the Copper Box vibrated for a moment before settling down.

The Elder Princess, witnessing this scene, stood up joyfully: “Is it done? Xiao Yi’s health…”

Lu Sangqi quickly gave the Young Prince acupuncture to stabilize his condition.

Meanwhile, the Sacred Girl of the Southern Border wiped the sweat off her forehead and said: “Your Highness, the Gu insect is out, but the Young Prince’s body has been depleted for years. Although it needs many years of nurturing, at least his life is not in danger anymore. As for what just happened…”

“What this palace promised will be fulfilled.” The Elder Princess finally felt relieved and, thinking of the Sacred Girl of the Southern Border’s act of using her blood, was surprised but not intending to take any action.

She noticed the Sacred Girl of the Southern Border looking at Lu Sangqi.

The Elder Princess understood her meaning and hinted: “Saintess, rest assured. Doctor Lu’s visit to the residence was on the condition that he would not disclose anything.”

The Sacred Girl of the Southern Border moved her lips, forcing a smile: “I trust Doctor Lu’s character.”

Lu Sangqi had long anticipated his involvement. Thinking of the Southern Border Witch Doctor who had been captured, he wasn’t worried, unless the Southern Border Witch Doctor was no longer useful and the people of the Southern Border decided to turn ruthless; otherwise, they wouldn’t target him.

Lu Sangqi spoke: “Saintess, rest assured, I know what to say and what not to.”

The Sacred Girl of the Southern Border looked at him but remained silent.

Lu Sangqi stayed in the residence to attend to the Young Prince and monitor his condition closely.

The Elder Princess instructed the servants to send a message to the Lu Family Medical Hall.
