I'm the Farmgirl You Can't Mess With

Chapter 1291: Overcoming the Tribulation (1)

When Fan Zijin and the rest learned of the outcome, they looked at Qi Haoran with mixed feelings.

Having slept for a day, Qi Haoran was in good spirits. He said to them energetically, “I’ll leave the Imperial Court and the palace to you.”

Fan Zijin nodded with a dark expression. “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely protect the palace well.”

Qi Haoran looked at his three sons who were staring at him eagerly and sighed slightly in his heart. However, he pulled Little Bear over with a smile and patted his shoulder. “Since you’ve already grown up, you have to protect and take good care of your mother and younger siblings in the future.”

Little Bear nodded with reddened eyes and promised solemnly, “Daddy, don’t worry. I’ll definitely take good care of Mother and my younger siblings.”

After that, Qi Haoran looked at the Crown Prince and the Empress. He patted Little Treasure’s shoulder and said, “As the Crown Prince, you should prioritize the country. Don’t forget what your Royal Father taught you.”

Little Treasure bit his lip and nodded.

Li Jinghua looked at Qi Haoran with reddened eyes and said softly, “Thank you, Fourth Brother.”

Qi Haoran smiled and said, “Royal Sister-in-law, you’re too polite. He’s my big brother.” After a pause, he continued, “Ah Ling has a straightforward temper and doesn’t like to socialize with others. In the future, I’ll have to ask Royal Sister-in-law to take care of her more.”

Li Jinghua nodded repeatedly. “Don’t worry, Fourth Brother!”

Qi Haoran forced a smile and looked at the darkening sky outside. How could he be at ease? He had been by Mu Yangling’s side since she was nine years old.

Whenever she was in trouble, he would help her. However, he had always been the one who took the initiative to help, and it was rare for her to ask for help.

She was so stubborn and had such a hot temper. In two years’ time, the children would grow up and leave the nest one by one, leaving her alone in the King’s Residence. At that time, there would be no one to give her advice, comfort her, and cheer her up.

Qi Haoran was not worried about the children. With the backing of the King Rong’s estate and Fan Zijin’s help, Ah Ling would definitely be able to raise them well. What he was most worried about was Mu Yangling.

If the blood exchange didn’t succeed this time, she would be left all alone.

The more Qi Haoran thought about it, the more worried he became. In the end, he took a deep breath before entering the hall.

Yuan Hui and the imperial physicians had already prepared the things. When they saw Qi Haoran enter with a dark expression, they lowered their heads and stood to the side.

In the middle of the hall was a large bed with no curtains, and Qi Xiuyuan was lying at the side. After taking off his clothes and leaving only his middle robe, Qi Haoran lay beside him.

Yuan Hui comforted him and said, “King Rong, don’t worry. As your compatibility with His Majesty is high, the chances of success are almost 90%. Considering His Majesty is the chosen one and you are a lucky general, you two will be blessed by the heavens.”

Qi Haoran nodded slightly, stretched out his hand, and turned to look at his big brother.

Qi Xiuyuan’s face was already a little greenish-black. It could be seen that the poison was spreading so quickly that only his heart meridians could still be preserved. If the poison entered his heart meridians, no one would be able to do anything about it.

Yuan Hui also took off his kasaya, rolled up his sleeves and tied them with a rope, then began to clean his hands to do the blood exchange.

The blood transfusion device had existed since ancient times. Last year, after Qi Haoran fell critically ill and needed a blood transfusion, through Mu Yangling’s suggestion, the Imperial Institute of Medicine modified the blood transfusion device twice, making it more convenient to use.

The Imperial Institute of Medicine’s Chief Physician personally connected the tubes to them and Yuan Hui personally administered acupuncture and facilitated the blood exchange.

Looking at the blood coming and going in the two tubes, the imperial physicians’ hearts skipped a beat at the same time. These were the Emperor and King Rong, the two most respected figures in Great Qi. If today’s surgery failed, none of those present would survive.

Looking at Yuan Hui one after another and seeing that he was staring at the Emperor and King Rong calmly, the imperial physicians sighed slightly in their hearts. To be able to view life and death so indifferently, the State Preceptor was indeed the State Preceptor.

Seeing that the two of them did not have much of a rejection reaction, Yuan Hui immediately said to the imperial physicians, “Start brewing the medicine.”

Chief Physician Hua brought two imperial physicians to personally check the medicine that had been prepared long ago, inspecting everything from the medicine jar to the charcoal fire.

They knew that since someone had poisoned the Emperor, the other party would not give up any opportunity to exploit any loopholes. Therefore, after entering the hall, no matter what they did, they would be in groups of three. This way, they could monitor each other or check for gaps. All measures were taken to prevent accidents from happening.

If the Emperor and King Rong died from rejection, it would be fine. At most, the imperial physicians would die with them. On the other hand, if the duo died from someone’s scheme, none of their families and relatives could escape.

After all, this being the life of the Emperor and the King, the Crown Prince and courtiers would not let them off.

The imperial physicians were very careful, and Yuan Hui was also gazing at the two of them with all his attention. Hence, when lightning suddenly flashed and thunder rumbled outside, everyone was startled.

Yuan Hui looked outside with a burning gaze. After taking a glance at the two of them, he quickly walked to the window and opened it to look at the black clouds in the sky.

Everyone outside the door also looked up at the sky.

Yuan Hui said in a low voice, “The Heavenly Dao has changed.”

Fan Zijin asked in a deep voice from outside the window, “What has it become?”

Yuan Hui’s eyes flickered as he smiled and said, “Compared to the low visibility in the past, it’s much clearer now.” He looked at Fan Zijin and smiled. “The fate lies with His Majesty, King Rong, and Queen Consort Rong. Or rather, the key lies in Queen Consort Rong. If she’s alive, His Majesty and King Rong will have a 30% higher chance of survival. The Heavenly Dao is dangerous, the calamity a hundred years later will be brought forward to this day, and there would be many natural disasters. If she dies, the Heavenly Dao will slowly return to the right path, and everything will be as it should be.”

What did that mean?

Could it be that Mu Yangling was an anomaly?

Fan Zijin’s heart skipped a beat. Yuan Hui grinned at him and said without hiding anything, “His Majesty was destined to ascend the throne more than 20 years later. He originally only had two calamities in his life, but now, there are two more for no reason. I thought that the poisonous arrow he was shot with 16 years ago was the last time, but I didn’t expect his calamities to increase alongside his good fortune. This is the Heavenly Dao.”

Yuan Hui nodded in satisfaction. “The Heavenly Dao is fair.”

Fan Zijin almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He interrupted him and asked, “Just tell me if His Majesty and King Rong will be fine.”

Yuan Hui closed the window and replied indifferently, “Only the heavens know about this.”

Yuan Hui felt embarrassed in his heart. Of course, only the heavens knew about this. The celestial phenomena had changed drastically. Although it was gradually becoming clearer, this period of time was the most chaotic, thus nothing could be seen.

Yuan Hui only deduced that Mu Yangling was in danger based on the previous conclusion. If she could survive this life tribulation, she might be able to help Qi Xiuyuan and Qi Haoran.

Although he himself did not understand how Mu Yangling, who was thousands of miles away, could help the two people in the middle of a surgery, he knew that it was possible.

There had never been a reason for mysticism.

Yuan Hui went to guard the Emperor and Qi Haoran happily, but Fan Zijin almost died of anxiety. He turned around twice and hurriedly turned to look for Rong Xuan and Little Treasure.

Though half of Yuan Hui’s words didn’t register, he did catch the main point—Mu Yangling was in danger, and if she could avoid this danger, she would be able to help the Emperor and Haoran.
