The appearance of the Black Calvary lead by the Emperor himself, flanked by the Head of Censorate, Geng Zhong, as well as the Crown Prince himself, Huang Zhangye, was quite the sight. Their faces where serious and anxious as they seemed to be rushing down the streets had people and carriages respectively scattered in different direction to make way.
They looked like they are going to war. Specially with how furious the Emperor looked.
Eh? They seemed to be heading to the direction of Princess Royal's Mansion?
What's going on?
Arriving by the Gates of Princess Royal Mansion, the guards tried to delay them of course but the shouting beyond the gates can be heard loud and clear.
"THIRD SISTER! RUN FASTER!!!"
Was heard loud and clear as the temperature dropped sharply accompany by a roar of a spirit beast.
"Ahhh!!!"
"MISS!!!"
"Third Sister!"
"You Beast! Get off the Princess!"
"Xiao Yun! How dare you!"
Geng Zhong didn't want to do it but it seemed they have to apologize to the Tablet of Princess Royal later. He kicked the gates down with controlled force. Splinters scattered and rained down.
The scene inside caught them all off guard.
Everything is in chaos inside despite they have all frozen up in surprise.
Further down, two screaming children, struggling but being pinned down merciless by various servants, it would have been impressive if not for the state they are in. One that made their blood boil in the little girl in white robes, torn up and bloodied, skin pale, and her lips is almost blue from the cold. They recognize her as Huang Beiyue, who is currently being pinned down by an Ice Natured Spirit Beast, one responsible for the sudden coldness.
The Little Princess cried out pitifully for help.
No need to be told twice, Huang Zhangye sent a controlled fireball to blast the beast away.
"Yue'er!" The Emperor rushed to the pitiful state of his niece.
"Father, wait!" Huang Zhangye protested as he swiftly made his way over, "She's suffering hypothermia… let me help."
As Huang Zhangye did his best to warm up his beaten up cousin who had fallen unconscious, it's amazing that she got this far, but the state she's in made Huang Zhangye frowned deeply.
The Emperor, Huang Huiyi, is deeply enraged, "All of you! Round all of them up! Spare not a servant! Take them all to the dungeons! Interrogate them! Even if you have to use torture to do, do it!" how dare they bully his Sister's daughter?!
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Even to the soldiers, Nanyi trash or not, this is frowned upon!
"Your Majesty, these two children…"
"They are defending Yue'er, take them with us to the Palace!"
They weren't exactly subtle with their movements. The moment they were rushing from the Palace, it already intrigued the people and now, it turns out to be like this. Even if Ancient Era did not have Internet, Weibo, Facebook, or Live News, the events that transpired still spread out like wild fire.
As the saying goes, 'Ones good deeds spread slowly but ones bad deeds can be spread for thousands of miles.'
Someone, mainly the Xiaos, had kicked the iron plate this time, no, it's a gold plate! A plate one should never kick! Because the owner of that place is surnamed Huang! The Royal Family!
For the Emperor to actually come personally with the Crown Prince and Black Calvary, this matter is definitely serious!
Not to mention, many people saw the Crown Prince carried the injured and bloody unconscious body of who seemed to be Princess Beiyue!
Goodness! What could have happened for her to be that injured?!
Everyone has their opinion and guesses. As such, this matter was blown up entirely.
If Ye Lian saw this, she would directly applaude, "Who said Ancient People's way of communication and rumors are to be looked down? Look at how it gotten so big without the help of Water Army. Tsk tsk tsk."
In the Palace, everyone are nervous and anxious.
Huang Jing is circulating his energy in Huang Beiyue.
The Royal Family have affinity to fire. Huang Beiyue is neutral, Null, so she is quite adapted. It helped lower the chills that seeped in her bones.
The Pharmacist are checking on her and exclaimed that the Princess is Poisoned! They don't know what the poison is so they dare not prescribe something, it might trigger the poison, which is why Huang Zhangye, who has the fastest Summon, flew off to retrieve Prince Xiaoyao who has yet to leave the country.
Even so, the poison so vicious.
"This…" Prince Xiao Yao's expression darkened.
How can he not recognize the poison that killed Huang Huiwen, one that he was deceived into making? Yet he clearly only refined one then why did Beiyue have it?!
It's a poison for criminals, it's only several grades lower to Swallowing Sky Red Python's own poison!
The Emperor is getting more temperamental and anxious and it's also affecting everyone in vicinity along with nervousness. If the Princess really dies, the Xiao Family will be buried along with her, maybe not even a thumbstone there. If unlucky, some servants would bear the burnt too!
Knock on the wood? That is one scary though!
And so, it's time, Huang Beiuue opened her eyes, crying out at the shitty feeling she had.
Akane didn't hesitate and pushed for control, she can manage than Beiyue, the family's youngest.
"Yue! You're awake!"
Akane didn't responded and closed her eyes, she took a few deep breath to trying and keep herself anchored because of the dizziness and weakness she felt. Stupid poison.
"Help me… Up…" she grunted and Prince Xiaoyao helped her sit up, the window is open to let fresh air in. It's also when she noticed she not alone in the room and looked at Huang Zhangye, Huang Jing and the Emperor and the Head Doctor.
"Bucket. I want a bucket, big. Blood Replenishing Pill…" she said ordered weakly.
Akane and Ye Lian had been analyzing the poison for quite some time. It is indeed vicious, she can purge it out but it will be very painful.
Uzumaki Akane worked with Tsunade and Orochimaru. The Snake Sannin himself want to become like a snake and a poison man. He would have dropped dead if not for the efforts of her and Tsunade as he intake poison after poison into his body. As a child, Orochimaru has already stsrted poison resistant training but of course those are just small dosage and weak poison. It grew stronger and the fool was complacent because she and Tsunade are around and grew reckless. Anyways, the technique was developed to saved Jiraiya's stupid ass. A spar went wrong and Orochimaru had punched the idiot on the face, Jiraiya had accidentally in take his blood when he swallowed his saliva, not to mention, the small wounds during that spar. Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Akane had butt their heads together to find a way to save the Toad idiot from dying. As such, the technique was created and Tsunade's Rebirth Recreation was born as well.
Unexpectedly, Akane will use it upon herself but she knew… She will definitely going to feel the pain this time. High pain tolerance be damned!
A servant came hurried with a clean and empty bucket, Akane held it and looked at the bucket, "Mother taught me a technique once" Obviously it's bullshit, "… How to expell poison but…. It will be painful"
"Would you like a Pain Numbing Pills?" Prince Xiaoyao asked. He is already holding the bottle of blood replenishing pill in hand.
"No" Akane shook her head, she can take it, no rather, she will endure it, "It will get in the way"
Huang Beiyue thought for a bit, "Uncle Emperor…set Concubine Fang, Dongling, and Xiao Zhonglei free. They are nice and loyal to me… And for the rest, even Servant and Steward Zhou…. I want them to live a fate worst than death. Live a life helpless, and in humiliation, just like what they did to me when Mother is away and now gone" Akane looked at the bucket, she gripped it tight.
"Yes, death is indeed too good for them." the Emperor immediately agreed, feeling angry and heartache for his niece.
Huang Beiyue, currently, Akane in control, closed her eyes and breathed out.
Akane moved her hands to form hand seals, it's slower than she would like given the state of her current body but it will do. On the 50th hand seal, she clapped her hand, her Chakra surged and circulated in her body.
"….. Medic Art: Poison Expulsion Jutsu." Akane let the jutsu took effect and winced, she immediately gripped the bucket and careful not to crush it with her strength as an overwhelming pain washed over her. Any resembled poison is looking for an outlet out, since Akane let Ye Lian use some of the Chakra to at least block the open wounds and her other orifices so it will only exit through her mouth. And it came rushing out. It's so disgusting if she's not distracted about the pain that seemed to set every single cells in her body on fire. She retched and then vomit the black foul smelling blood, it looks like sludge or something, it smell unpleasant.
She kept vomiting, again and again. Her face turned an even ashen and her body… She's getting thinner! Huang Beiyue isn't even healthy in the first place! Now, she's almost skin and bones, her sunken eyes and cheeks. Like a ghost or a skeleton wearing human skin! It looks quite disturbing. She looks like she throwing up her own organs in there!
Akane is throwing up the poison and impurities in her body, it's morbidly amazing, if not, disgustingly horrifying.
"Yue! Stop! You're going to kill yourself!"
This frightened everyone. Really… She looks like a skeleton now! Who wouldn't be frightened?!
She shook her head and continue, "I will die… If you… Stop me…!" she gasped before she threw up again.
And a final one, she vomit out blood.
Fuck! Anemic! That's the side effect!
The bucket was taken away as Prince Xiaoyao was about to give her the blood relishing pill, she shook her head in refusal.
"Yue, you have to take it! Don't be stubborn!" Prince Xiaoyao, Song Mi, is incredibly anxious.
"No…. No…" Akane shook her head as her hands shook, almost out of strength, she weave to a very slowly hand seal, "...Rebirth...Recreation… open!"
The seal opened. The purplish red diamond on her forehead glowed and black lines began to crawl out of it, along with the explosion of power! It's practically rolling off her in waves!
The sheer amount of it shocked everyone. It could really be felt by almost the whole City!
Several Master and Experts turned to the direction of the Imperial Palace in shock and surprised.
Yue hurriedly opened her inner robe to their embarrassment but she still a kid even if it's inappropriate, and it's horrifying seeing the state of it now. And without a word, with glowing green hand, sunk her hand to her ribs, blood trickled down and she snapped her ribs back in place. The crisp sound of bones being moved made their scalp tingle as they looked horrified as Huang Beiyue, an 8 years old, forced aligned her bones back in place, the black lines had crept in her body.
"Huang Beiyue, stop right there!" Huang Huiyi is now very anxious he can faint but the niece of his ignored the order and snapped her bones back in place despite the pain.
Without a doubt, it would have sent her to shock if Ye Lian and Beiyue weren't doing their best and preventing that from happening.
The benefits of having three consciousness instead of one.
Sizzling could be heard and steam coming from the wounds as they rapidly closed without a scar left.
Her bony appear began to fill out in a speed of a naked eye. As if her stick body began to fill with flesh. The paper like skin turned healthy flush.
From almost sitting on the coffin to being healthy, they watched in wonder and awe as those black lines retreat to her forehead and turned back into a harmless looking rhombus.
Like that, Huang Beiyue huffed as she sagged back, "Yue!"
"….. Hm…." She fell asleep and decided she didn't want to be awake to deal with the aftermath not to mention, the pain is really too much despite using Rebirth Recreation. Ah, the set back on that is really quite something if she and Tsunade haven't found the solution from its pull in using their life force. It's a good thing they did before Akane died.
Ye Lain huffed inside, "Gosh, I am beat."
Beiyue agreed, "I think all of us need thst well deserve rest"
"Yeah" Akane agreed
Huang Beiyue is unconscious for a week. The Doctors were shocked that she is as healthy as what an 8 years old should be and that she is drained and exhausted.
Many things had happened that people need time to wrap their heads around it.
One thing important is that… Huang. Beiyue. Is. Not. A. Trash. At. All!!!!
The sensation the news brought throughout Nanyi Country is as expected, explosive.
But our female protagonist is still in deep sleep to recover and not aware at all, ne~
