Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 71: Treating the Imperial Family
Zhang Yu broke the dragon fruit into nine pieces, he handed one piece to the emperor and asked him to finish it immediately.
Xuan Zou swallowed his part in one mouthful, then he handed it all over to Zhang Yu who was now sitting cross-legged behind his body.
Zhang Yu as before placed a hand on Xuan Zou's back. Regardless of the identity of this old man who was the Emperor of the Xuan Empire, now in his eyes was nothing more than a person who needed his care.
While Zhang Yu had started his treatment, Empress Ling Qiao, Queen Ju Qianchen, Queen Yu Wen, General Zhao Yun and the four others looked on with worry. The peak of worry occurred as Xuan Zou spat out a mouthful of reddish-blue blood.
"Your Majesty, ...." But before saying any longer, Xuan Zou who felt his body lighter immediately raised his hand as a sign to them not to interfere with the path of treatment.
"General Zhao, what do you think? Your Majesty looks very sick." Ling Qiao narrowed her eyes and could not bear to see her husband endure the pain.
"It shouldn't matter, Empress. His Majesty alone can know the current situation of his body. Because in any case to neutralize poison would require sacrifice. Moreover, the poison that has been in the body for a long time."
Ling Qiao momentarily glanced at Zhao Yun, then looked back at Xuan Zou who was still in pain and even bit his lips to hold back the sound that came out.
Long after, Zhang Yu pulled his hand from Xuan Zou's back. But Xuan Zou did not also open his eyes and flinch at the cross-legged sitting position.
"Is Your Majesty okay?" ling Qiao asked worriedly.
"Your Majesty is fine, Empress. It's just that His Majesty needs time to recuperate." After Zhang Yu said that, Xuan Zou opened his eyes.
Ling Qiao came closer.
"Your Majesty, how are you?"
Xuan Zou got up and started moving his body.
"This is so incredible. I got my body back!" revealed the old man by developing a smile on his face. Although there was a blood stain that was slightly dried up, it did not change his current mood.
After Xuan Zou managed to take out the ice and fire poison, it was Ling Qiao's turn now. The fifties-year-old woman sat cross-legged on Zhang Yu's instructions, swallowing a piece of dragon fruit and the same process it went through.
But this time not too long. Perhaps it was because the poison of ice and fire was not too much like in Xuan Zou's body. It only took some pressure on his back and spewed out a reddish-blue liquid from his mouth.
Ling Qiao finished, Xuan Zou asked his two wives to go forward alternately then the other four.
Zhang Yu also gave the pieces of dragon fruit to them, helping them in turn.
"General Zhao Yun, it's over, it's your turn."
Hearing the emperor's words, Zhao Yun nodded his head. He stepped towards Zhang Yu and received the dragon fruit then swallowed it.
Zhang Yu started to push his hand, touching the back of Zhao Yun who had been sitting cross-legged in front of him.
However, something shocking left his eyes wide open.
"What's wrong? Is something wrong?" asked Xuan Zou who saw Zhang Yu's change in expression.
"No, Your Majesty, nothing." While answering Zhang Yu looked at Zhao Yun's figure intently.
"It's surprising he still looks okay." Zhang Yu nodded and began to press Zhao Yun's back.
Zhao Yun immediately vomited blood and his face became pale enduring the pain.
"General Zhao, are you okay?" zhang Yu asked still pressed a few dots on his back.
"Yes, I'm fine. Continue on!"
Zhang Yu without replying again withdrew his hand and exerted intense pressure with great exertion.
The shock of what he was doing made Zhao Yun spit out a bucket of blood from his mouth. The foul aroma and dense color, it was much worse than Xuan Zou's condition.
Zhang Yu also looked at the blood released by Zhao Yun. "The poison in his body is much more than in His Majesty's body, but he still looks fine. It showed his cultivation base that could not be taken lightly."
"General Zhao, do you feel better?"
Zhao Yun was momentarily still silent as he lowered his face. After wiping the blood on the corner of his lips he showed a smile. "yeah. It feels better. Much better."
Zhang Yu got up from his seat, walking towards Xuan Zou. "Your Majesty, although the poison of ice and fire has been removed, it still requires a period of recovery."
"I see," Xuan Zou again walked towards the resource storage room, opening the secret door like before.
"There's a lot of resources here. Taking some to recuperate is also not a bad thing. After all resources can increase Qi capacity."
While Xuan Zou and a few others were focused on restoring strength, in one part of the palace, Song Wejin was still in a bad mood.
The old man called several commanders whom he had previously given the task of tightening the guard.
"Hows it? Did you guys catch him?"
The five commanders only looked at each other and did not dare to take out a single word.
Of course this made Song Wejin even more furious. "Basic stupid! You guys are so not so becus. Even capturing people trapped within the palace alone could not. I'm sure he's still in the palace. You guys should look for him until you meet."
"Prime Minister, we've been through all the places in the palace. But still not finding it. Looks like he found a safe hiding place."
Song Wejin snorted at the words of one of the commanders. "That's just your excuse. I don't want to know, you guys have to find him. Don't stop until you catch him!"
The five commanders could not resist, they nodded to the order then walked away leaving Song Wejin alone in his room.
Find a safe place? Heh. There's no secret place except the holding room where I'm holding the emperor." Song Wejin sat down then took the cup on the table. But when he was about to drink the drink, the look on his face changed and again scoffed at his sentence.
"The secret place ...."
Oh...
"Is it possible that he could have accidentally discovered the whereabouts of the prisoner and hid there?" Song Wejin immediately got up from her seat, threw away the cup in her hand then rushed towards where the secret holding room was.
Once there, his eyes immediately fell on the floor with the dragon head emblem.
Hem...
"What's this?" Right near the floor was a picture of the dragon head Song Wejin looking at the footwear stamp. This changed the old man's face for the worse.
