Chapter 1357: Chapter 1006 He is Our Father
"Isn’t what you’re saying effectively nothing? Look at you, so-called Divine Physician, and yet you can’t even save your own niece. What kind of Divine Physician are you?"
Ji Youzhi stomped his feet anxiously.
He couldn’t care anymore that the person before him was his second brother!
"It’s my own incompetence, my skills aren’t refined. That’s why I can’t save Suisui. As I see it, we have no other choice but to wait, unless Xiaosuisui can come to her senses on her own!"
As Ji Youran spoke these words, everyone fell silent.
Someone outside shouted, "Your Highness!"
Princess Ata walked in rapidly, asking, "What on earth is going on, why hasn’t Suisui woken up yet?"
Ji Youzhi and Ji Youran remained silent.
Princess Ata dropped a serious bombshell.
"The Empress has secretly traveled and has already arrived at Xinzhou Prefecture."
"What did you say?"
Ji Youzhi was completely taken aback.
"The Empress is pregnant and close to her due date. How can she undertake such a long journey to Xinzhou?"
"It must be the Great Phoenix. Only it can travel so fast, bringing Pan’Er from the Central Plains to Nanjiang. Let’s go meet her!"
Huo Xing’Er stood up and said.
Everyone agreed with her reasoning. By this time, Xie Pan’Er was no longer the pretty sister who used to follow Xiaosuisui.
She was the mother of a nation.
The group had just left the Royal Palace when they saw Xie Pan’Er walking over, alone and heavily pregnant.
"Your Majesty! Why have you come to Nanjiang by yourself?" Ji Youzhi hurried to welcome her. Seeing no one protecting her, he was utterly frightened.
"Something so serious happened to Suisui; how could I not be worried? I heard about her condition from the Great Phoenix and was worried sick, so I asked the Great Phoenix to bring me here. Suisui has always loved me the most. If what the Great Phoenix says is true and she has lost her soul, then I will help summon it back. I must retrieve her soul."
As Xie Pan’Er spoke these words, her eyes were sore.
Tears were held back as she spoke.
"Not just anyone can call Suisui’s soul back."
Ji Youran sighed upon hearing this.
"Why can’t it be called back? Don’t the elders say that if a soul is lost, you can just call it and it will return?"
Xie Pan’Er, looking at the sleeping Xiaosuisui, couldn’t help but grow anxious.
"Suisui! Your pretty sister is here. Can you wake up to see your pretty sister, please? Suisui... Suisui, your sister is pleading with you, please wake up."
This really stirred Xie Pan’Er’s anxiety.
She had even forgotten that she was Xiaosuisui’s pretty aunt now.
"Your Majesty, please stop. Suisui’s soul isn’t something that can be summoned back by ordinary means."
Ji Youran sighed and advised Xie Pan’Er.
"If it can’t be called back, what should we do? Just watch her remain in a coma for the rest of her life?"
Xie Pan’Er became agitated.
She couldn’t help but yell loudly at Ji Youran.
Ji Youran sighed helplessly and said, "There’s only one way now. We need Prince Ata to issue an edict to post notices everywhere, searching for someone who can use the Seven-Star Lamp."
As Ji Youran suggested this, all eyes turned to Ata.
"Prince Ata, we’re counting on you!"
Ata replied, "Alright, I’ll go right away."
Ji Shang and the scholar in white arrived at the capital of Nanjiang, now renamed Xinzhou Prefecture due to natural disasters in uninhabited areas, causing Ata to be unable to change the sign at the new city gate.
"So this is the capital of Nanjiang! My great-granddaughter, where are you? Your grandfather has come to find you."
Ji Shang sat in the tavern, watching the bustling crowd.
Bored, he counted peanuts.
Suddenly, the scholar in white next to him stood up and walked directly toward a bulletin board.
Ji Shang asked curiously, "Scholar, where are you going?"
The scholar in white didn’t turn back, heading straight to the bulletin board. He looked at the notice posted by the government soldiers and tore it down, holding it in his hand.
"You can light the Seven-Star Soul-Returning Lamp?"
A soldier saw her tear down the notice and, with a face full of joy, asked.
The scholar in white didn’t speak, standing there in a daze.
Ji Shang walked over and glanced at the content of the notice, wondering, "Someone lost a soul in the Imperial Palace?"
Upon hearing this, the soldier immediately said, "Cut the nonsense, can you do it or not? If you can, follow me. If not, tearing down the notice will get you beaten with a stick!"
Ji Shang looked at the scholar in white and asked, "You’ve never meddled with others’ business. Why take down this notice?"
The scholar in white stayed silent, looking dazedly toward the Royal Palace’s direction, and Ji Shang understood.
"Oh! The person you’re looking for is in that Royal Palace, right?"
The scholar in white nodded.
"Officer, please take us inside. We took down the notice."
"Are you serious? Let me tell you, if you truly know how to light the Seven-Star Soul-Returning Lamp, that’s all well and good. But if you don’t, meddling with the notice could cost your heads!"
Ji Shang hurriedly assured, "Fear not, officer, we do know how. Please take us there!"
The officer, seeing Ji Shang’s confidence, said nothing more and led them inside the Royal Palace.
"Your Majesty! Your pregnancy is advanced, you mustn’t get too stressed. Please sit down and rest for a moment! The notice has been posted; now all we can do is wait. Rushing won’t help!"
Huo Xing’Er sat in a chair, her head aching from Xie Pan’Er’s constant pacing around her.
"I... I’m just worried! Suisui is such a lively person. Seeing her lying in bed, motionless, breaks my heart."
Upon hearing this, Huo Xing’Er sighed.
She, too, was deeply troubled.
"Your Majesty! Someone extraordinary has taken the challenge!"
Ata entered with a joyful look and said.
"Prince, are you serious?"
Xie Pan’Er and Huo Xing’Er were overjoyed.
Ji Youzhi and Ji Youran couldn’t help but stand up and quickly asked, "Where is this person?"
"Matters are grave. The folks below said the individual doesn’t seem like a person of extraordinary abilities. I’m not sure whether to directly allow them to light the Seven-Star Lamp for Suisui."
"Take me to see them!"
Ji Youyuan, who had been silent, stood up and said.
Ata nodded and led them to the front Great Hall. There, Ji Shang was gazing up at the map hanging in the chamber. Upon hearing footsteps, he turned around with a delighted expression.
"Eldest brother! How are you here? Weren’t you supposed to be in Xiling?"
Ji Youyuan was also stunned, standing there speechless for quite some time.
Only the memory-lost Ji Youran asked in confusion, "Who are you? How do you know my eldest brother?"
Ji Youzhi tugged at his sleeve and hurriedly said, "Second brother, you’ve lost your memory and don’t remember that he’s our father!"
Ji Youran: "..."
