At this moment, in the palace, a few imperial physicians were jogging towards the princess' courtyard. The one who was running at the back was probably older. He was sweating profusely and panting.
As he was running, a nine-colored light suddenly flashed across his eyes!
The light was just a flash, and he did not show any signs of abnormality. Therefore, no one noticed it.
Not long after, Tuoba King Tuoba Chi arrived at the princess' room. A few imperial physicians were treating the princess with sweat all over their foreheads.
Tuoba Chi kept pacing back and forth. His face was filled with anxiety. He had always doted on his daughter. She was going to marry into the Starfall Dynasty. Nothing must happen to her!
If the princess could not marry Ying Yuan, not only would the Kingdom of Tuoba lose the protection of the Starfall Dynasty, but they would also offend the Starfall Dynasty. The consequences would be unimaginable!
"You've been looking at her for a long time. Tell me what's wrong with the princess?" Tuoba King asked anxiously.
One of the imperial physicians wiped the sweat off his forehead and answered, "Your Majesty, from what I can see, the princess is not sick. It's just that there seems to be a weak and strange aura in her body.
If we can't force that aura out, no matter how good the medicine is, it will be useless. "
Tuoba Chi's expression turned serious. The princess was not sick. Someone had done something to her!
Thinking of this, things became complicated.
"Tuoba Hui, come and take a look."
He said to a tall person beside him. This person was the commander of the palace's imperial guards. He had the cultivation of the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm.
Tuoba Hui's expression did not look good. If the princess was really done to secretly do something to her, no matter who did it, he would not be able to escape from the crime of negligence.
He walked to the princess with a gloomy face. He was a man and a woman. He injected a few streams of spiritual energy into the princess' body. After a short while, the princess' face turned slightly black, and her eyes became even more lifeless!
Tuoba Hui's expression turned dark as well. He realized that there was indeed a black aura in the princess' body. That black aura had absorbed the spiritual energy that he injected into her body and became even denser!
He had never encountered such a situation before. If he was asked to fight, he would have no problem. However, when he encountered these things with strange auras, he was somewhat at a loss.
He could only helplessly say, "Your Majesty, there is indeed a wisp of black energy within Her Royal Highness' body causing mischief. The most troublesome thing is that the black energy is currently corroding Her Royal Highness' mind. Furthermore, it can also devour external spiritual energy. Normal methods are useless against it. It is truly vicious to the extreme!"
"Who is it?
Who is it?! "Tuoba Chi couldn't help but shout when he heard this.
He was even more furious. He was furious that the imperial guards and imperial physicians under him were all useless. They didn't even notice that someone had snuck into the harem. Now that the princess was in trouble, they couldn't even save her. What was the use of having them?
However, Tuoba Chi had not completely lost his mind. Even if he killed all those people now, it would be useless. The most important thing now was to treat the princess!
He immediately said, "No matter what method you use, you must cure the princess!
All the resources in the national treasury are at your disposal. If you need any medicinal herbs, I will go and find them. If you can't cure the princess before Crown Prince Ying Yuan comes to pick her up, humph! "
Although he didn't make it clear, everyone knew what he meant. Everyone shuddered in their hearts.
At this moment, the old imperial physician said in surprise, "Your Majesty, I think the princess seems to be poisoned."
With this new discovery, King Tuoba immediately asked, "What did you see? Just tell me."
"Your Majesty, normal poisons have the ability to corrode the body. However, this poison is corroding Her Royal Highness' mind. I also sensed a certain amount of corpse energy from the black energy. Therefore, I think this poison might have come from …"
He stopped talking at this point. King Tuoba waved his hand and said anxiously, "Why are you still keeping us in suspense? Hurry up and say it!"
"Yes, I am quite knowledgeable, so I know a little more. This poison seems to be a corpse poison that the Corpse Puppet Sect of the Starfall Dynasty is proficient in using," the imperial physician said in a low voice.
Starfall Dynasty!
Corpse Puppet Sect!
Hearing these two names, everyone present fell silent. The Kingdom of Tuoba and the Starfall Dynasty were neighbors. Naturally, they had heard of the Corpse Puppet Sect.
However, this sect had been destroyed for hundreds of years. Why would it suddenly appear now?
Why would it sneak into the palace and attack the princess?
Even if it was really the Corpse Puppet Sect, what was their motive?
Questions appeared in everyone's mind. King Tuoba turned his head and asked, "Are you sure?"
The imperial physician bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I am only guessing. I don't have any evidence. However, there is at least a 50% possibility."
"Regardless of whether it is the Corpse Puppet Sect or not, do you think there is a way to save the princess?" King Tuoba was most concerned about the princess' safety.
"Normal methods won't work. The only method I know is to find someone who has cultivated a technique that can restrain the corpse energy to force the black energy out of the princess. I can't think of anything else."
There was a way, but what kind of technique could restrain the corpse energy?
Where could they find someone at this time?
Even if there was such a person in the palace, there was no guarantee that he could save the princess.
"Then what kind of technique can restrain the corpse poison? Metal element?
Fire element or something else? "King Tuoba's cultivation was not high, so he was not very clear about this.
The imperial physician said, "A metal element technique can be used. However, it would be best if it is a yang element technique."
King Tuoba was about to give the order to find someone, but at this moment, an ear-piercing sound suddenly pierced through the night sky!
Many experts looked up and saw an arrow that looked like a stream of light shooting straight towards King Tuoba!
"How dare you!"
Tuoba Hui snorted coldly and opened one of his hands. A giant blue hand appeared in the air and easily caught the arrow.
Tuoba Hui picked up the arrow and realized that it was not an arrow. It was obviously a very ordinary tree branch!
A small tree branch could have such terrifying destructive power. The person who shot it was definitely not ordinary!
"How dare you! How dare you!
Do you think you can come and go as you please in the Tuoba Palace? "
King Tuoba was furious. First, the princess was harmed. Now, someone dared to openly assassinate him. He was about to explode.
However, Tuoba Hui said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I don't think this person is here to assassinate you."
"What?" King Tuoba frowned.
"The attack just now was indeed powerful. However, it was still within the range of the Gang Spirit Realm. With Your Majesty around, even if the attack was ten times stronger, it would not hurt Your Majesty.
Therefore, I don't think the person wants to assassinate Your Majesty. He has other reasons. "Tuoba Hui checked the tree branch in his hand as he spoke.
"Eh?"
Tuoba Hui found a note in the tree branch unexpectedly. After reading it, his eyes suddenly widened and then he hurriedly handed it to King Tuoba.
King Tuoba was shocked when he saw the words. His expression changed and his eyes were filled with surprise. Then he shouted, "Summon some experts to protect the princess immediately. The rest of you go to the royal tomb!"
Everyone was stunned. They had just found some clues about the princess's condition. Shouldn't they go to find the right person to save the princess first?
Why did they suddenly go to the royal tomb?
However, since it was the king's order, they did not dare to disobey. Immediately, only a few imperial physicians were left to take care of the princess. The rest of them all hurried to the royal tomb with the king!
Because there was only one line on the note, "Someone dug up your ancestral tomb."
