The corners of the short and fat official’s eyes twitched, and his goatee fluttered. He felt that it was simply inappropriate for the Eldest Prince to bring a girl to the Qianqing Palace, even though he knew that they were discussing matters with the Emperor.
It was indeed difficult for the Eldest Prince to take on such a big responsibility!
Gu Yanfei couldn’t be bothered to look at those officials. She turned her body sideways and peeked at Censor Lian, who was lying on the ground.
Her eyesight was excellent. Although she was nearly ten feet away, she could clearly see that the censor’s head was badly injured. His forehead was swollen, leaving a wound the size of a cup. Blood flowed profusely, and his face was as pale as paper.
She could deduce how resolute the censor was when he bumped into the pillar just now. He was determined to die.
However, he was still alive.
When she walked past him just now, she noticed that he was still breathing weakly.
Xiao Shoufu frowned and looked at the old imperial physician guarding at the side. The old imperial physician hurriedly checked the pulse of the imperial censor again. His frown became tighter and tighter as he shook his head helplessly.
After a while, the old imperial physician stood up and reported to the Emperor in front of him, “Lord Lian still has breath left, but he has lost too much blood, and his skull is broken. I’m afraid..
“At most, he won’t be able to last for more than an incense stick of time…”
The few censors beside him looked indignant when they heard this. It was as if they had lost their lips and teeth.
Gu Yanfei acted as if she didn’t hear him. She reached into one of her purses and took out a crumpled talisman.
This was a talisman to treat external injuries.
The problem was that not only did the censor’s skull crack, but he was also bleeding internally.
Gu Yanfei touched her sleeve pocket again and quickly took out another talisman. She handed these two talismans to Eunuch He, who was guiding her. “Eunuch He, paste these two talismans on the wound on Censor Lian’s forehead.’
You’re asking me to paste it on him?! Eunuch He widened his eyes in disbelief and couldn’t help but glance at Chu Yi. He still took the two talismans with both hands and replied respectfully, “Yes, Second Lady Gu.”
Although Eunuch He didn’t know what kind of talisman Gu Yanfei had given him, he had personally witnessed Second Lady Gu’s ability on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year and was full of admiration for her.
These two talismans were definitely not ordinary.
Eunuch He carried the two talismans to the unconscious Censor Lian as if they were rare treasures. Then, he kneeled down and carefully stuck the two talismans to the other party’s badly mangled forehead.
When the talisman was pasted on, Eunuch He couldn’t help but hold his breath. He didn’t know if he should press the talisman or stop. He looked up at Gu Yanfei helplessly…
Before he could say anything, he felt a heat under his finger and hurriedly lowered his head.
The two talismans under his finger burned at the same time, and the golden flames quickly devoured the talismans bit by bit..
Eunuch He was shocked and quickly retracted his hand.
In the next moment, the two talismans were burned to ashes. Countless white spots of light gathered together like fireflies and dissipated in an instant.
The old imperial physician at the side was dumbfounded. He stared at Censor Lian on the ground and blurted out, “He’s not bleeding anymore… Lord Lian’s injuries aren’t bleeding anymore.”
The censor was still lying on the ground with his eyes closed. However, the wound on his forehead had finally stopped bleeding. There was also a trace of vitality on his pale face, and he was no longer as pale as before.
The old imperial physician quickly checked the censor’s pulse again and said in surprise, “The intracranial bleeding has also stopped.”
“That’s great, that’s great… He’s alive!”
The old imperial physician was a little incoherent. His wrinkled and brown face revealed a look of relief.
Among the officials at the side, many of them turned to look at Gu Yanfei in shock. Some were surprised, but most of them were flabbergasted.
This young lady actually used two mere talismans to easily pull a person who was about to die back from the gates of hell!
Wang Kangyin recalled how Eunuch He had addressed her just now and muttered to himself, “Second Lady Gu?”
This form of address sounded familiar.
Gu Yanfei slowly walked in front of Censor Lian. She rubbed her chin with her fingers and said in a low voice thoughtfully, “There are only a few situations where one can die resolutely for others. ‘
“Loyalty or profit.”
She seemed to be talking to herself but also to Censor Lian.
Ifit was for loyalty…
Gu Yanfei glanced indifferently at Censor Lian on the ground and sighed softly. Those clean censors have always been clear with the aristocratic families and nobles, so they can’t be loyal to the aristocratic families.
In other words…
“Lord Lian is doing this for benefits.” Gu Yanfei answered her own question.
‘Why don’t I do a divination?”
As she spoke, her right hand had already taken out her compass from her sleeve pocket and casually pushed the needle of the compass.
The small needle quickly spun…
