Chapter 398: The Divine Doctor Turns Out to Be Him (Thanks to Shuyanhuazheng for the Monthly Ticket and Additional Updates)

Hearing her whisper, a thought struck Ji Youzhi, and he took a mental note of it."What did you give my princess?"

The Nanjiang guard stared anxiously at Princess Ata, who had fallen into a deep sleep after consuming the elixir that Xiaosuisui had fed her.

"Rejuvenation Pill!"

Xiaosuisui answered in her babyish voice.

"Rejuvenation Pill?" The Nanjiang guard was greatly surprised.

"That’s the elixir fabled to bring the dead back to life and mend flesh to bone! The imperial family of Great Han only possesses three, and to think you have one!"

The Nanjiang guard slapped his forehead. How could it have slipped my mind? After all that, I somehow forgot about such a treasure of the Great Han imperial family.

"This one isn’t from the Great Han imperial family. It was given to me by my second maternal uncle!"

"Your second maternal uncle gave you this?"

The Nanjiang guard stared at her, his eyes suddenly widening.

"The Divine Physician they were talking about just now is your second maternal uncle! The elusive Sect Leader of the Medicine King Residence is actually the second son of the Ji Family! It’s rumored that the Ji Family has seven sons. Only the two youngest are somewhat famous, while the others are quite ordinary, with no trace of them in the Jianghu or the Imperial Court."

To think, the second son of the Ji Family is the Divine Physician of the Central Plains, the one rumored to have concocted the Rejuvenation Pill that can bring the dead back to life and mend flesh to bone!

"My second brother prefers to keep a low profile," Ji Youzhi said calmly. He then turned to Xie Pan’Er. "Has Princess Ata’s wound been treated?"

Xie Pan’Er nodded, carrying Xiaosuisui down from Princess Ata’s bed. "Yes, it’s done."

Only then did Ji Youzhi nod, his gaze shifting towards Suisui.

"Suisui, you said earlier that you smelled a familiar scent on Princess Ata. What was it?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaosuisui thought for a moment, then said, "It’s a medicinal scent."

"What kind of medicinal scent?" Ji Youzhi pressed.

Xiaosuisui shook her head. "I don’t know what specific medicinal scent it is, or what its effects are."

Ji Youzhi instructed Xie Pan’Er, "Gather all of Princess Ata’s clothes and bring them back."

Xie Pan’Er, ever obedient, immediately sprang into action. This update ıs available on novel(ꜰ)ire.net

"What are you doing? Why are you taking our princess’s clothes?" The Nanjiang guard quickly tried to stop them.

Ji Youzhi swiftly drew his sword, blocking the guard.

"I am under orders to investigate the assassination attempt on the Nanjiang Princess. Her clothes are evidence in the case, and I must confiscate them for examination!"

"What did you say? What evidence? Those are our princess’s clothes! I can’t let you take them."

"You won’t let me take them? Are you implying that the assassination attempt on the Nanjiang Princess is connected to you?"

At Ji Youzhi’s words, the Nanjiang guard’s expression changed.

"Nonsense! How could it possibly be related to me?"

"Not related? I say it is!"

Ji Youzhi had barely finished speaking when he attacked the guard.

The guard, though unarmed, parried Ji Youzhi’s dozen or so moves and still seemed to have strength to spare!

This was enough to prove his martial arts were not weak. Furthermore, the crescent moon blade he had previously given Xiaosuisui as part of their deal was a top-ranked weapon on the armaments list!

"Now, do you still insist that your princess’s assassination has nothing to do with you?"

As Ji Youzhi finished speaking, a RUSH of footsteps was heard, and Long Wu entered with a squad of guards, surrounding the Nanjiang guard!

"Are you trying to frame me?" The Nanjiang guard’s eyes narrowed as he stared intently at Ji Youzhi.

Ji Youzhi sneered. "The whole world knows that Nanjiang is renowned for its Gu Insects. Your princess, being royalty from the King’s Court, has surely kept Gu Insects as companions since childhood, has she not?"

Hearing this, the Nanjiang guard’s eyes went wide with shock, and he finally mumbled in disbelief.

"You mean... the assassination attempt was faked? This was all an act?"
