Chapter 412: Often Walking by the River

"Ankang, how is Axiang's injury?"

The Eighth Prince asked nervously.

Although Axiang has woken up now, it can still be seen that his breath is very weak.

After the initial surprise, the Eighth Prince also cleared his mind instantly.

He had judged how serious Axiang's injury was before the competition.

I thought that after the game, I would only have to say goodbye to Axiang forever, but I didn't expect that I could see him again.

This made the Eighth Prince feel fortunate for his decision to entrust Axiang to Princess Ankang, and a glimmer of hope rose in his heart.

He thought that perhaps Princess Ankang could cure Axiang with her animal training skills.

But Princess Ankang's next words shattered the hope that had just risen in his heart.

"Myna, Axiang's condition is very bad."

"It's a miracle that it can wake up now."

"But it may not be able to survive the next few days."

Princess Ankang said, turning her head away, as if she couldn't bear to look at the miserable Axiang in front of her.

"How, how could it be..."

This was too different from the answer the Eighth Prince expected, and he couldn't accept it for a while.

"No, no."

"Ankang, you must have other ways, right?"

"Your animal taming skills are so strong that it's impossible that even you are helpless."

The Eighth Prince's mentality was on the verge of collapse. He didn't feel happy about winning the game at all, and his heart was full of regret.

At this time, he remembered what the Fourth Prince said before leaving, and couldn't help but start to blame himself. Maybe he really shouldn't have brought Axiang to participate in the competition from the beginning.

Now, for his greed to win the competition, Axiang paid a heavy price.

If the Eighth Prince was allowed to choose again, he would rather never participate in the Imperial Garden Competition than lose Axiang.

Axiang was the only spiritual comfort for the Eighth Prince after his mother passed away, and he had long been regarded as a family member by him.

But now...

"Ah Xiang, it's all my fault. It's all my fault that I didn't protect you well!"

The Eighth Prince cried bitterly, looking at Ah Xiang who was dying in the bamboo basket, and was overwhelmed by the tide of powerlessness.

"Am I really a disaster star?"

"Whoever gets close to me will be unlucky..."

The Eighth Prince was extremely fragile at this time, and couldn't help but think of the abuses of those people in his childhood.

The Eighth Prince's mother, Concubine Qin Shu, was one of the four concubines in the past. She was born in the Qin family, a famous and prestigious family in Beijing.

And because of Concubine Qin Shu, countless people had high hopes for the Eighth Prince before he was born.

Unfortunately, Concubine Qin Shu had a difficult delivery. Although she saved her life in the end and gave birth to the Eighth Prince successfully, she also fell ill and her health deteriorated day by day.

Later, she died of illness when the Eighth Prince was seven years old.

Because of this incident, many people talked about the Eighth Prince behind his back.

But in the final analysis, it was nothing more than bullying a poor prince who had lost his mother.

This palace has always been a place where the weak are bullied and the strong are feared, and it has never changed.

Although the Eighth Prince, who had lost his mother, still had the support of the Qin family, he never thought about working hard, which gradually disappointed the Qin family.

Until today, there is the current Eighth Prince.

Except for Princess Ankang, everyone else knew about his affairs very well.

Everyone felt sorry for the Eighth Prince when they saw how fragile he was.

Princess Ankang could fully understand the Eighth Prince's feelings. If one day...

Princess Ankang's eyes turned red just thinking about it, and then she looked at Li Xuan with some dissatisfaction.

As a result, Li Xuan did not realize it at all, and was still secretly winking at Princess Ankang.

Princess Ankang pouted slightly, seeming a little reluctant, but she still said:

"My dear, I know a master outside the palace, maybe he can cure A Xiang."

Hearing this, the Eighth Prince looked up suddenly, wiped his face hurriedly, and then confirmed:

"Really?"

Princess Ankang said with some embarrassment:

"We have to give it a try, don't we?"

"If my dear trusts me, I will take A Xiang out of the palace for treatment."

"But I can't guarantee whether it will work."

But the Eighth Prince has been forced into a desperate situation now, and suddenly found that there is still a life-saving straw, so there is no reason not to hold it tightly.

"Ankang, go ahead and try."

"If you need me, just ask."

"As long as you can save Axiang, I will agree to anything!"

Seeing that the Eighth Prince trusted her so much, Princess Ankang stood up immediately and said:

"Then there is no time to lose. I will take Axiang out of the palace now."

"My dear brother, you should have a good rest."

"You must also make arrangements for tomorrow's game. Don't let Axiang's efforts go to waste."

When the matter was mentioned, the Eighth Prince's eyes flickered with anger.

"Don't worry, I will fight for my life tomorrow and will not lose to Qingshu Palace!"

Today, the Fourth Prince used many tricks. He would not leave the court even if his leg was broken. He did his best to stimulate him, just to consume the Eighth Prince more and make him in a worse state when facing the First Prince tomorrow.

Earlier on the Cuju field, the Eighth Prince was angry and had no time to think about it, but now he had completely understood the Fourth Prince's intention.

The Fourth Prince persisted in such a frustrating way until the end, and even took a ball, all for the sake of making Qingshu Palace have better results.

In this case, the Eighth Prince must not let them get what they want.

"Well, I will send someone to inform you as soon as there is news from Axiang."

"Then I will leave first."

After Princess Ankang finished speaking, she carefully picked up the bamboo basket containing Axiang and hurriedly left with Li Xuan and Yu'er.

"I'll take you..."

The Eighth Prince just took a step forward, his feet softened, and he almost fell down. Fortunately, he was supported by the Fifth Prince beside him.

"Don't force yourself. The previous game has already exhausted your energy."

"You need to rest well."

The fifth prince took out the posture of an imperial brother and taught the eighth prince a lesson.

"But I want to see Ah Xiang again..."

The eighth prince hesitated and said.

There are some things he couldn't say.

Because he was really afraid of a bad mouth, and he would not be able to forgive himself at that time.

"Oh, it's really troublesome."

Although the fifth prince said so, he still called his attendants and asked them to bring the sedan chair over, and then sent the eighth prince up.

"Then let's all go together."

The fifth prince said, and took the lead in following Princess Ankang's footsteps.

Others followed closely behind.

Although the attendants of the eighth prince also arrived, they were unable to prepare a sedan chair.

Unexpectedly, the fifth prince was well prepared and even prepared a sedan chair today.

The sedan chair used in the palace is relatively simple, just a comfortable seat connected to several long elastic poles for people to carry the sedan chair.

Most of the concubines in the palace also use this kind of sedan chair when traveling, while the princes and princesses prefer to walk.

Unless the journey is really long, sedan chairs are rarely used.

The fifth prince thought that he would be exhausted in today's game, so he specially prepared a sedan chair and planned to take it when he returned. As a result, he was eliminated early in the first round, and the sedan chair was no longer useful.

Now it is used by the eighth prince.

"You are quite foresighted."

The seventh princess saw the sedan chair and praised the fifth prince.

The fifth prince coughed awkwardly and pretended not to hear it.

He was afraid that he would be embarrassed in the end if he said too much.

Seeing that everyone insisted on seeing him off, Princess Ankang simply handed the bamboo basket containing Axiang to the eighth prince.

The eighth prince held the bamboo basket carefully and looked at Axiang reluctantly.

"Axiang, you must get better. I'll wait for you in the palace."

Axiang chirped softly in response to the words of the Eighth Prince.

But the sound was much weaker than before.

The Eighth Prince thought that Axiang was getting better, but now it seems that the possibility of a last gasp is greater.

It seems that what Princess Ankang said is true. Axiang's condition is much worse than it looks.

After Princess Ankang arrived at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, she got on the carriage and said goodbye to the others.

The Eighth Prince resisted the urge to get on the carriage with Princess Ankang, and silently watched the carriage carrying Axiang leave.

"Axiang, we will definitely see each other again."

"When the time comes, you will definitely fly again."

The Eighth Prince said in his heart, and could only pray for Axiang silently.

...

As soon as the three little carriages drove out of the palace, a sound was heard in the carriage.

"Ah Xuan, why did you ask me to say that to mynah?"

"He was worried about Axiang, isn't he even more worried now?"

Princess Ankang asked in confusion.

At this time, Li Xuan put one of his tails on Axiang's body, and then carefully observed its reaction.

"Interesting."

Li Xuan was thinking about his own things seriously, and didn't notice Princess Ankang's question.

"Ah Xuan, I'm asking you a question."

Princess Ankang pinched Li Xuan's ears to attract his attention.

Seeing that Princess Ankang kept asking questions, Li Xuan had to change one of his cat's paws to Axiang's body, and then raised his tail and wrote in the air:

"I'm doing this to help Lao Ba, just believe me."

"And I'm not sure that Axiang's injury can be cured tomorrow, and it's still unclear whether he can participate in the competition tomorrow."

After Li Xuan explained casually, he turned his attention to Axiang's injury again.

He had also discovered by accident before that Yin and Yang Qi actually had a very powerful healing ability.

Li Xuan was in the stands earlier, and he had only intended to use the Yin-Yang Qi to keep Ah Xiang alive.

Unexpectedly, Ah Xiang's injuries were healing rapidly.

Although this is a good thing, the broken bones in Axiang's body have not been properly treated, and it is definitely not possible to heal them at this point.

Therefore, when the fourth prince and the eighth prince were competing, Li Xuan began to use the Yin-Yang Qi to remove the broken bones that Axiang had pierced into his body bit by bit and restore them to their original positions.

Li Xuan cleaned up the more dangerous broken bones in the stands.

Although this was the first time he did this, he was very good at it.

Li Xuan only touched the surface of the power of Yin-Yang Qi, but it already had so many practical functions.

After the Yin-Yang Qi entered Axiang's body, it triggered vitality and prompted muscles and bones to repair themselves at a very fast speed.

During this period, Li Xuan consumed very little Yin-Yang Qi.

He guessed that this might be related to Axiang's relatively small body.

After all, compared to the human race, Axiang is a very lightweight player.

This consumption can be restored by Li Xuan running the Yin-Yang Qi on his own, and it is almost no burden for him.

Only when dealing with the broken bones in Axiang's body, Li Xuan needs to concentrate.

Through Yin-Yang Qi, Li Xuan can slowly squeeze these tiny broken bones out of Axiang's flesh and blood. During this period, because of the protection of Yin-Yang Qi, no secondary trauma will be caused.

This skill alone is enough to make Li Xuan a famous doctor in the world.

He can almost deal with general internal and external injuries, and the effect is no less than those of the imperial doctors in the palace.

At present, Li Xuan has almost completely recovered the injuries on Axiang's torso, leaving only the fractures of the wings and claws.

But these injuries are a piece of cake compared to what Li Xuan treated it before.

Li Xuan is sure that under his treatment, Axiang will never be in any danger of life, and it is just around the corner to fly in the sky again.

As for why he asked Princess Ankang to say that to the eighth prince, one is to take this opportunity to take Axiang, the number one case, back to study it carefully and master the healing function of Yin-Yang Qi.

The second is to give everyone a surprise tomorrow.

Especially the eldest prince and his three siblings.

Thinking of this, Li Xuan couldn't help but grin.

It's not impossible to tell the eighth prince about this in advance, but Li Xuan thinks he would act better if he showed his true feelings.

With the fourth prince's mind, I'm afraid he won't be able to sleep tonight if he's not sure about the eighth prince's condition.

When they think that A Xiang will never appear on the Cuju field tomorrow...

"Hehe."

"You like to scheme, right?"

"I'll let you scheme enough this time."

Princess Ankang saw Li Xuan giggling and couldn't help but pinch his cheeks.

"Ah Xuan, look at you laughing like that."

"Are you planning something bad again?"

Li Xuan meowed and shouted that he was wronged.

After the three little ones returned to Xingqing Palace, they locked the door tightly and even had dinner in the room.

Li Xuan raced against time to treat A Xiang and try to make him recover as soon as possible.

After Ah Xiang recovered from his injury, Li Xuan was not sure if he could fly immediately.

In order to give him time to adapt, Li Xuan kept supplying Yin and Yang Qi to Ah Xiang all night to help him recover from his injury.

…

At the same time.

Qingshu Palace.

The fourth prince's right leg was already bandaged and splinted. Judging from his appearance, he needed to rest for a while.

The eldest prince and the sixth princess were with him.

"Fourth brother, don't do this again in the future."

"It's not worth it."

The eldest prince looked at his brother's leg and said with some heartache.

"Brother, don't worry."

"I have my own considerations."

At this time, a close eunuch hurriedly arrived. After saluting the three people, he leaned close to the fourth prince's ear and reported something.

After listening, the fourth prince was obviously in a good mood and waved his hand and said:

"Well done, go down and get your reward."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward."

The close eunuch responded and then saluted and left.

"Fourth brother, what are you so happy about?"

The Sixth Princess asked curiously.

"The Eighth Brother has already found a eunuch who will fight tomorrow. Although he is a seventh-rank eunuch, his strength is not very good, far inferior to the two eunuchs of the eldest brother."

"And he was in a depressed mood tonight. He just rested under the influence of alcohol. It seems that his condition will not be good tomorrow."

"As for his Saker Falcon, it was handed over to Ankang to deal with. I guess he didn't want to bury it in the palace and cause sadness."

The eldest prince shook his head, but he didn't feel very happy about the news. He just said to the fourth prince:

"You really don't mind being tired."

The fourth prince said indifferently:

"There is not much I can do, so I naturally have to do my best."
