Chapter 263 Don't Let Your Eyes Deceive You

"Beast?" Wu Xingzhen snorted coldly, "Okay, I've become a beast now."

Wu Xingzhen's temper also flared up all of a sudden, "You are the one who is betraying me. I am your biological brother, and you treat me like this? You are such a traitor, you can't walk when you see Wu Yaxin, right? She is closer to you than your own brother? You are cold-blooded and heartless, you can be ruthless even to your own brother."

The more Wu Xingzhen thought about it, the angrier he got. "You...you are simply...unreasonable!"

"You are unreasonable. I will tell my mother and let her make the decision for me. I have not had a peaceful journey. Do you dare to say that you have no hand in it? Well, you have become successful now. You even dare to kill your own sister."

"If I had known this earlier, my royal brother should not have saved you. Why wasn't you the one who died!" Wu Qingshuang's eyes turned red with anger.

Wu Xingzhen's body froze, and he was swept away by Wu Qingshuang and kicked away, falling awkwardly on a stone pier not far away.

Wu Xingzhen covered his chest and stood up with difficulty. "I don't know what you are talking about, and you don't need to remind me."

Having said that, he turned and walked away, his back looking desolate and lonely.

"I..." Wu Qingshuang opened his mouth, hurt and regret flashing in his eyes.

Bai Xing walked up to her and said, "Do you regret it now? People always speak without restraint to those close to them, and then regret it after they finish speaking."

"Just be happy. Your brother loves you, otherwise he wouldn't give in to you in everything."

Wu Qingshuang was originally looking down in sadness, but when he heard the last sentence, he immediately refused to accept it, "Nonsense, he still loves me? He gave me a good deal by not killing me, but he still loves me? Ha! What a joke."

Bai Xing looked strange, "What else? His skills are not bad, even better than yours. If he doesn't let you go, can you still defeat him?"

"Also, with his skills, it would be easy for him to evade the pursuit of the thick-armored rhinoceros."

Wu Qing turned his head away, totally unconvinced.

Bai Xing was helpless. "Look, there are many high walls around here. If he just climbs over a few walls, the armored rhinoceros will lose its target. What is it chasing? Air?"

"Why didn't he hide? Perhaps only you know."

"It's getting late. His Majesty is still waiting. Goodbye." After saying that, Bai Xing walked towards the stairs.

Wu Qingshuang stood there for a long time, and suddenly said, "Do you know who he is? He is the second prince, who intends to collude with the enemy country and is a traitor."

Bai Xing waved his hand without stopping, "Your Highness, don't judge a thing by its appearance. He is your biological brother, and you grew up with him. You should know what kind of person he is."

"Don't let your eyes deceive you."

Wu Qingshuang was stunned. "I... wronged my second brother? Is that what you mean, sir?"

She shook her head. "It's impossible. Who else could it be but him? He just offended the emperor. What if the emperor gets angry and gets sick?"

Thinking of this, she hurriedly asked her servants to take her thick-armored rhinoceros away, and rushed into Emperor Wu's bedroom.

"what--"

As soon as he entered, Wu Qingshuang saw his father taking off his clothes and stepping half foot into the bathtub.

She quickly covered her eyes and turned her back.

Emperor Wu quickly sank into the water and said unhappily, "Shuang'er, you are already an adult, why are you still so impatient? I have told you so many times, come in and knock on the door, knock on the door."

"Forget it, Eunuch Li, tell them to let the Fifth Princess in next time when she comes. I will let her in only if I agree."

Eunuch Li suppressed a smile and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Then he said to Wu Qingshuang: "Please come in, Your Highness the Fifth Princess."

"I...I'll leave now."

Bai Xing looked at her red earlobes and couldn't help but sigh, ancient people were really conservative and pure, was she really just bare-chested?

So shy? Shirahoshi shook his head and chuckled.

"Your Majesty, is the water temperature suitable?"

Emperor Wu narrowed his eyes comfortably and hummed softly.

Bai Xing chuckled, "Okay, it may be a little painful for a while, just bear with it."

Emperor Wu snorted softly, "There is no pain that I cannot endure. Thinking back to the past, I personally led the army to fight, and was shot by several arrows and slashed several times. Each cut was so deep that the bone was visible. But didn't I survive it?"

"It's just a medicinal bath, not worth mentioning."

Bai Xing smiled and nodded, took some processed medicinal herbs from the table beside him, and poured them into the bathtub one by one.

The water, which was originally full of medicinal fragrance, now smells indescribable and the water quality has become turbid.

one two three.

Bai Xing recited these words silently in his heart. As soon as the three words came out, Emperor Wu's expression changed drastically and his face turned red.

The hands that were gripping the edge of the bucket turned pale, and they were clenched tightly, with fingertips sinking into the wood chips and leaving traces of blood.

He stared at the roof with his eyes wide open, not daring to look at Shirahoshi.

Bai Xing smiled, took out a roll of silver needles, spread it out, and picked up a silver needle, "Your Majesty, relax."

Emperor Wu looked at the slender silver needle. The tip of the needle reflected a cold light, flashed in the water, and disappeared into his sight.

He swallowed, "This..."

"Oh, these are silver needles, used for acupuncture. They may be a little painful."

Emperor Wu forced a smile, muttering in his heart: "I don't believe you, is this a little painful? It hurts so much."

He had never experienced such a strange and painful pain, as if something was gnawing at his body, and any slight movement would affect his entire body.

I can't tell where the pain is, but it feels like something is running wildly inside my body.

Seeing the silver needle moving faster and faster, sweat started to drip from his forehead into the bucket. Even his palms were sweaty, so slippery that he could hardly hold the edge of the bucket.

Bai Xing quickly pierced the Danzhong acupoint and flicked the needle tip. The spiritual power gathered and guided the restless medicinal power into the Danzhong acupoint.

There was a flash of light in Bai Xing's eyes, and he could see through the skin and flesh.

The spiritual power gathered into a point in the sandalwood, and under Bai Xing's manipulation, it spread like tree roots, lighting up the meridians.

Emperor Wu was shaking with pain, his face almost turning into a piece of skin.

"Your Majesty, hold on. Persistence is victory, and persistence can bring about a new life."

Bai Xing's gentle voice sounded, particularly loud in this space filled with only the sound of water, and it also reached the ears of Emperor Wu.

Miraculously he slowed down, closed his eyes, and leaned his head on the edge of the bucket.

Soon, the meridians in the entire chest were lit up, and the medicinal power in the water that covered the silver needles flowed into the meridians through the silver needles.

Not long after, Emperor Wu hummed comfortably. Before, he always felt a blockage in his chest, but now it was as if it had opened up. His entire chest felt relaxed and comfortable, and he felt very refreshed.

Bai Xing put his hands behind his back and moved his fingertips. Wu Huang's body immediately moved forward with the center line as the midpoint.

"Uh...ah..."

A strange sound came out of Emperor Wu's mouth, as if a blocked or even stagnant place was suddenly opened up. That kind of joy was fascinating.

His breathing became smooth and free.

He exhaled deeply, squinted his eyes and sighed: "It feels so good. I haven't breathed so freely in a long time. Hahahaha."

"Doctor Yun, you have made great contributions. I will reward you handsomely. Eunuch Li."

"I'm here. I'll ask the servants to prepare it right away." Eunuch Li also said with a smile.

Bai Xing clasped his fists, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Then, Shirahoshi stimulated several more acupuncture points until the liquid became clear.
