After all, in the cutthroat world of officialdom, any detail could be the key to swaying the situation. "Madam, please don't worry, it's just a small matter. Today, while teaching at the academy, some students had differing interpretations of classical literature, so I discussed it with them. I originally intended to finish quickly, but the discussion flew by. I only rushed home when I realized how late it was. However, this discussion has given me a deeper understanding and appreciation of these classical texts." Seeing her husband's gaze shift towards her, Madam Wang's heart skipped a beat, a chill rising from her spine and instantly spreading throughout her body. Her face turned ashen, and a fine layer of sweat even appeared on her forehead. She instinctively reached out and gripped the hem of her dress tightly, trying to calm herself, but her fingers trembled uncontrollably. At that moment, Madam Wang's mind went blank; she had no idea how to handle the situation. She instinctively wanted to protect her youngest daughter, so without hesitation, she moved forward and quickly stood in front of her, blocking her husband's view with her own body. Wang Jingjing looked at her father in disbelief, covering her face with a red handprint, tears streaming down her cheeks. She never expected her father to hit her. She simply loved the Regent Prince, and her father couldn't let their disagreement in court sever their relationship. The space here was incredibly rich in resources, like a vast treasure trove, filled with all sorts of rare items. There were various gems and metal ores, shimmering with strange light; precious medicinal herbs, spiritual plants, and elixirs, emitting a rich fragrance; and countless mysterious magical treasures and weapons, containing immense power. In addition, there were abundant cultivation resources, such as pills and spiritual liquids, which could help people improve their cultivation. This space was like an endless treasure trove, waiting for people to explore and discover its secrets. Just then, an idea suddenly came to mind, and Xue Ruanruan decided to enter the space to take a look. She closed her eyes, concentrated her mind, and silently recited the incantation to enter the space. With a slight dizziness, her consciousness was drawn into the space. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a beautiful and mysterious world. This space was completely different from the real world, filled with strange light and energy. The surrounding air was filled with a refreshing fragrance, making her feel relaxed and happy. Xue Ruanruan excitedly explored this new area, feeling a powerful force continuously flowing into her body. This time, the golden monkey did not take Xue Ruanruan directly to the small valley as before, but led her through the forest for a long time, finally arriving at a completely unfamiliar place. There was also a dense forest here, but it was much larger than the previous small valley. The golden monkey excitedly led the way, occasionally looking back to see if Xue Ruanruan was keeping up. Xue Ruanruan followed it curiously, her heart filled with anticipation. They walked along a narrow path into the depths of the forest, the surrounding trees growing taller and taller, sunlight filtering through the leaves and casting dappled shadows. Xue Ruanruan took out her acupuncture kit, opening it to reveal a dense array of neatly arranged golden needles. These golden needles varied in length, some even longer than a finger, gleaming with a cold light that inspired awe. She gently stroked them, as if they were her most precious treasures. Each needle had been meticulously crafted, its tip incredibly sharp, capable of easily piercing skin and muscle, reaching deep into acupoints. Murong Xun suddenly felt a surge of energy coursing through his limbs and bones; he knew this was the golden needle technique within him beginning to take effect. He closed his eyes, concentrated, and felt the power of the golden needle technique.
Golden needle technique is an ancient medical art that uses golden needles inserted into the body to regulate the flow of qi and blood, thereby treating diseases and enhancing physical constitution. Murong Xun is a master of golden needle technique; he can use it to treat various illnesses and even enhance his own strength. Murong Xun sensed the power of the golden needle technique and began to use it to improve his abilities. He concentrated his mind, gathering the power of the golden needle technique into his hand, and then swung it sharply into the air. A golden light shot out from his hand, illuminating the entire room. Murong Xun knew that this golden light was the power of the golden needle technique; it could treat diseases and enhance strength. Looking at this golden light, he felt filled with confidence and pride. Xue Ruanruan's medical skills had reached a superb level; she could observe a patient's complexion without the aid of any instruments. In a quiet alley, a man dressed in black was moving silently. His steps were light, like a cheetah darting through the darkness. His eyes were sharp, revealing a cold aura. This was a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the emperor's personal guard responsible for maintaining the security of the palace. This guard, named Ling Yun, was one of the elite members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. He was highly skilled in martial arts, adept at assassination and reconnaissance. His mission was to investigate a palace conspiracy, find evidence, and uncover the truth. Ling Yun arrived at the Regent's Palace. His gaze swept over the surroundings, confirming nothing amiss. He lightly leaped over the high wall of the palace and quietly slipped inside. The palace was quiet. Ling Yun cautiously traversed the garden and arrived at the study. He gently pushed open the door; the room was empty. His gaze fell on a letter on the table. He picked it up and read it carefully. The letter's contents made Ling Yun's expression turn grave. He realized that a huge crisis lurked behind this palace conspiracy. He had to inform the emperor as soon as possible, or the consequences would be unimaginable. Ling Yun quickly left the palace, his figure disappearing into the darkness. His mission had only just begun; he had to find evidence quickly, expose the conspiracy, and protect the emperor's safety. Ling Yun returned to the palace and presented the letter to the emperor. After reading it, the emperor's expression turned grave. "This matter must be thoroughly investigated; we cannot allow the villains to succeed." Ling Yun accepted the order and immediately began his covert investigation. With his keen insight and intelligence, he gradually unraveled a corner of the mystery. Several days passed, and Ling Yun finally made some important discoveries. Through analysis and reasoning of various clues, he gradually focused his attention on a high-ranking official in the court. This official had a close relationship with the emperor and enjoyed his deep trust, but Ling Yun discovered some subtle clues that made him feel things were not so simple. After a thorough investigation, Ling Yun discovered that this official seemed to be harboring a dark secret. He had used his power and position to do many shady things in secret, possibly even involving treason. Ling Yun knew the seriousness of the matter; if the truth was not exposed in time, it would bring a huge crisis to the country. However, Ling Yun also understood that to completely uncover this conspiracy, more evidence and time were needed. Therefore, he decided to continue his covert investigation, leaving no detail overlooked, striving to find conclusive evidence as soon as possible to bring this high-ranking official to justice. At the same time, he had to be cautious, avoiding alerting the enemy and lest he bring about his own demise. Just as he was preparing to delve deeper into the investigation, he was attacked by a mysterious assassin. Ling Yun engaged in a fierce battle with the assassin, but ultimately suffered serious injuries. At the critical moment, he was rescued by a mysterious person. The mysterious person told him that this conspiracy was far-reaching and that he should proceed with caution. Ling Yun decided that after recovering from his injuries, he would join forces with the mysterious person to expose the mastermind. During his recovery, Ling Yun, through clues provided by the mysterious person, gradually uncovered the true nature of the conspiracy. It turned out that the high-ranking official had colluded with foreign enemies, attempting to overthrow the regime. After recovering, Ling Yun and the mysterious person gathered more evidence, preparing to expose the conspiracy at the appropriate time. However, their actions attracted the attention of the enemy, and a life-or-death struggle was about to unfold… In this process, his brothers displayed unparalleled perseverance and courage. Faced with various difficulties and challenges, they never flinched and forged ahead. Whether encountering enemy encirclement and suppression or facing the harsh test of the natural environment, they remained steadfast in their beliefs and never gave up. Eunuch Xu took a deep breath, trying to calm himself: "Your Majesty, the Regent has been poisoned!" The Emperor's face changed, shocked: "What? How could this be?" Eunuch Xu quickly explained: "Your Majesty, the Regent has been tormented by illness, but he concealed his condition. Today, the poison suddenly flared up, and his condition is extremely critical!" The Emperor's heart sank, and he immediately stood up, anxiously asking: "How is he now? Has the imperial physician been summoned?" Eunuch Xu replied: "We have already sent someone to fetch the imperial physician, but the Regent's condition is very bad, we are worried..." The Emperor clenched his fists, his eyes filled with anxiety: "We must find a way to save him! No matter the cost!" Eunuch Xu nodded: "Your Majesty, rest assured, we will do our best. But the situation is critical, and we need your personal visit to reassure everyone." The Emperor nodded without hesitation: "I will go immediately." After saying that, he hurriedly led a group of people to the Regent's residence. Xue Ruanruan heard this, and a bright smile bloomed on her face. From then on, the brother and sister worked together, using their medical skills to benefit the people of their region. The snowflakes silently covered his body. They gently drifted down, landing on his hair and eyebrows, as if adorning him with sparkling ornaments. He lay there quietly, blending into the surrounding snowscape, as if becoming a part of this icy world.
