Chapter 388 Flesh and Bones
Then, he knelt in front of the Princess Zhenguo’s mansion and asked to see her. No matter how you look at it, this was a move to gain fame with ulterior motives.
“That woman has a scar on her face, and her name is… Ji Langhua?” Bai Qingyan asked.
Butler Hao was startled and nodded repeatedly: “That’s right! How did the young lady know about this?”
It was indeed her…
When Bai Qingyan heard the woman say that the Sixth Young Master had done her a favor, she guessed that this person was Ji Langhua, but she didn’t expect it to be true.
It’s not that she has never interacted with Ji Langhua before, and she doesn’t think this person is the kind of person who talks nonsense and seeks fame.
She let down the curtain and lowered her eyes to think carefully.
When the carriage stopped in front of the Zhenguo Princess’s mansion, Bai Qingyan heard the woman’s hoarse and tired voice shouting helplessly: “I am Ji Langhua, please see the Zhenguo Princess. The brave general Bai Qingming has done me a favor. I sacrificed my blood to make an elixir that can bring the dead back to life. Please give me a chance to save the brave general Bai Qingming.”
The people already revered ghosts and gods, and when they heard that this woman had a elixir that could bring the dead back to life, they became extremely curious and gathered in front of the Princess Zhenguo’s mansion to watch what was going on.
There was also a brave man who shouted at Ji Langhua: “Young lady, since you said you have a elixir that can bring the dead back to life, why don’t you take it out and let us open our eyes!”
“That’s right! Words are useless. The princess won’t see you if you keep saying that!”
Some people saw the carriage of the Zhenguo Princess stop and hurriedly said, “It’s the carriage of the Zhenguo Princess!”
Chuntao opened the curtain and helped Bai Qingyan get off the carriage.
Ji Langhua, who was dressed in plain clothes, looked disheveled and looked in the direction of Bai Qingyan.
Ji Langhua saw the tall and straight Bai Qingyan get off the carriage, and he knelt weakly for two steps. His eyes were clear and bright, and he kowtowed to Bai Qingyan: “I am Ji Langhua. The brave general Bai Qingming has done me a favor. I have sacrificed my blood to make an elixir that can bring the dead back to life. I beg the princess to give me a chance to save the brave general Bai Qingming.”
Although she was not clear about Ji Langhua’s intentions, she knew that Ji Langhua was a grateful person. She even carefully preserved A Ming’s cloak and would never easily harm the Bai family.
His eyes were clear, and he didn’t look like he had been bewitched or confused.
Ji Langhua knocked his head heavily on the bluestone floor, raised his head and repeated, “I am Ji Langhua. General Bai Qingming has done me a favor. I have sacrificed my blood to make an elixir that can bring the dead back to life. I beg the princess to give me a chance to save General Bai Qingming.”
Perhaps because he lost the strength in his heart after seeing Bai Qingyan, Ji Langhua’s body softened and fell in front of the gate of Zhenguo Princess’s Mansion.
Bai Qingyan tightened his grip and ordered, “Qingzhu, have someone carry Miss Ji back to the mansion and ask the doctor to come and treat her.”
“Yes!” Shen Qingzhu accepted the order.
When the people saw that Bai Qingyan actually had the girl brought back to Princess Zhenguo’s mansion, they couldn’t help but wonder whether Princess Zhenguo also believed that the girl had an elixir that could bring the dead back to life.
“But it’s been so long, can the elixir still make bones white?”
“I am curious, if this elixir is real, will the Princess Zhenguo use it to save Bai Jialiu Lang or King Zhenguo?”
“Of course, we have to save Liu Lang of the Bai family. If Liu Lang survives, the Bai family will have a successor!”
“If you ask me, it’s the ten-year-old kid from the Bai family, Seventeenth Lang! When I saw the dead body of that kid in armor at the South City Gate… I couldn’t stand it!”
Just after noon, Lu Ninghua had just examined the emperor’s pulse and left the palace. A woman with a resurrection elixir in her hand knelt in front of the Princess Zhenguo’s mansion and begged the Princess Zhenguo to give her a chance. The emperor then heard about saving Bai Qingming.
“A pill that can bring the dead back to life?” The emperor paused holding the teacup and narrowed his eyes.
“That’s right. I heard that the woman is kneeling outside the Zhenguo Princess’s mansion and asking to see the princess, hoping that the princess would give her a chance to save Bai’s sixth son.” Gao Demao smiled and changed the teacup in the emperor’s hand. “Your Majesty, when Miss Lu left, she told you to drink more chrysanthemum tea.”
The emperor nodded and took a sip thoughtfully. He frowned as if he didn’t like the taste of chrysanthemum tea. But when he thought that it was Miss Lu who asked him to do so, he took a few more sips and asked casually, “How did Bai Qingyan… deal with the woman who wanted to dig up the tomb of Bai’s sixth son?”
“Your Majesty, you forgot that the Princess Zhenguo has returned to Shuoyang and has not come back yet. I estimate that it will take a few days for the Princess Zhenguo to return.” Gao Demao remembered that the Crown Prince sent the guards to send Bai Qingyan back, and said with a smile, “Your Highness the Crown Prince really cares about the Princess Zhenguo and sent the guards back to help her. Otherwise… the people of the Bai clan even forced the Grand Princess to vomit blood, and I’m afraid the Princess Zhenguo will have a headache.”
“You underestimate Bai Qingyan!” The emperor put the teacup heavily on the table, his eyes full of sneers, “Bai Qingyan is a person who even I dare to force, how can she take a person from a small clan seriously?”
“Your Majesty, that’s hard to say. In this world, there is always someone who can control her. No matter how arrogant the Princess Zhenguo is, there will always be someone who can control her.” Gao Demao said with a smile, “If Your Majesty wants to know the details of the Princess Zhenguo’s return to Shuoyang, why not wait until the Princess Zhenguo returns and ask the Crown Prince? The people around the Crown Prince are following her, so they must know the details best.”
The emperor didn’t say a word. All he could think about was the elixir that could bring the dead back to life. Now that he was the emperor… the Bai family that had threatened the Lin family’s imperial power had fallen. If the emperor still had any wish, it would be immortality, which every emperor wanted.
If the elixir that can bring the dead back to life is real, then is there really such an elixir in this world that can bring the dead back to life?
Gao Demao said it unintentionally, but the emperor took it to heart.

When Lu Ninghua got off the carriage and returned home, the people who had gathered at the Princess Zhenguo’s Mansion to watch the excitement had not yet completely dispersed.
She learned from the scattered discussions of the people that the female thief who wanted to dig up the tomb of Bai Jialiu Lang last night had fainted at the gate of Princess Zhenguo’s mansion. Princess Zhenguo Bai Qingyan came back and brought the person back to the mansion, and was about to ask a doctor to treat her.
Lu Ninghua lowered her eyes and thought for a while. The girl holding the resurrection elixir in her hand must be very important to Miss Bai, no matter whether it is real or fake.
She walked in and asked the gatekeeper: “Where did the princess place the girl? I know a little bit about medicine, I can go and take a look…”
Everyone in the Bai family treated Miss Lu very politely. The gatekeeper called a maid who was not on duty and respectfully took Lu Ninghua to settle down in Ji Langhua’s courtyard.
Seeing Bai Qingyan placing the woman who claimed to have a drug that could bring the dead back to life in the guest room, Lu Ninghua had a rough idea in her mind and treated it with caution.
The old woman bent over and led the way in front. Chun Tao saw her as soon as she entered the yard. She reported to Bai Qingyan and hurriedly came out to greet her: “Miss Lu.”
Lu Ninghua smiled faintly: “I heard that the eldest lady sent someone to ask for a doctor. I’m afraid that the eldest lady will be worried. Although my medical skills are shallow, I can barely handle it.”
