Chapter 540: A Powerful Immortal

Su Ying softened her voice when she saw Lin Zhuyu’s grief-stricken expression. “I know you can’t help but blame yourself, but Lin Zhuyu, let me tell you this. If you don’t focus on taking care of your body now, you won’t be able to have a child in the next year or two.”

Lin Zhuyu’s expression turned even more unsightly. “Your Imperial Highness… Your Imperial Highness, are you saying that I can’t have any more children in the future?”

Su Ying’s face turned stony as she said sternly, “Although it’s not as serious as that extent, based on your current condition, if you can’t recover your blood vitality, it will be very difficult for you to get pregnant again.”

Jiang Yang, who was standing by the side, wanted to interrupt somewhat anxiously. Lin Zhuyu was already feeling very weak and full of self-reproach. If Su Ying continued to antagonize her with these words, wouldn’t she feel even worse?

Lin Zhuyu looked as if she had been frightened by Su Ying’s words. In this era where offspring and heirs were more important than the heavens, if she couldn’t get pregnant, then her relationship with Jiang Yang would come to an end.

Su Ying said to Jiang Yang, “Get someone to boil some porridge and cook some appetizers.”

Jiang Yang went off to give instructions.

“Lin Zhuyu, other than during the final flash of light before death, whether a weak person can recover quickly depends on her appetite. If you have a resistance to eating, it will be difficult for your body to recover within a short period of time.”

Lin Zhuyu pursed her lips. Although she didn’t say it, she did have an inkling in her heart that she wanted to go on a hunger strike to punish herself. She still felt that her child was lost because of her.

“Your Imperial Highness, I really regret it badly. I shouldn’t have gone out.” Su Ying patted her hand to comfort her. “You can just take it that this child isn’t fated to be with you two, but there will always be other children who will come looking for you.”

The child had just been lost. It would be very difficult for Lin Zhuyu to recover from her grief quickly. Su Ying had come today to check on her health and make sure that there were no major problems so that she could rest assured. With Su Ying around, Lin Zhuyu managed to eat a little, but with her subconscious prodding her, she still found eating very unbearable.

Su Ying told Bai Shuang to stay behind to accompany Lin Zhuyu. It wouldn’t be too late for Bai Shuang to enter the palace again after Lin Zhuyu’s condition had stabilized.

Bai Shuang was also worried about Lin Zhuyu’s condition, so she stayed behind.

When Su Ying left, Jiang Yang sent her to the door.

“Lin Zhuyu’s condition is very unstable now. I’m talking about her emotional state. She’s blaming herself too much. Now, she needs some reverse stimulation so that she won’t ruin her body because of her self-reproach.” This was to explain why Su Ying had said those words to Lin Zhuyu just now. Jiang Yang felt a little guilty when he heard that. He was also worried and confused. “I was too narrow-minded.”

Su Ying shook her head. “Just keep her company for now. Her body isn’t that healthy in reality. If she doesn’t take good care of herself, she will be at a disadvantage in the future.”

“Yes, Your Imperial Highness.”

After Su Ying gave her instructions, she got into the horse carriage and prepared to return to the palace.

While the horse carriage was going through the bustling street, it came to a stop.

Su Ying lifted a corner of the carriage curtain and peered out with a somewhat puzzled look. She saw several ladies from noble families walking out of a teahouse.

It wasn’t strange for these ladies of aristocratic families to gather together for tea and chitchat, so Su Ying didn’t take much notice.

After waiting for a while, the horse carriage still didn’t move. Thus, the Imperial Guards went to the front to check on the situation.

“Your Imperial Highness, there is a horse carriage collision in front The carriage broke down and blocked the entire street. Your subordinate has already sent people to deal with it. Please wait a moment, Your Imperial Highness.”

Su Ying nodded slightly. Then she casually took out some snacks from the drawer and started eating.

Zhou Qing knew that Su Ying got hungry quickly, so she would always put several types of snacks in the carriage every time Su Ying went out. Su Ying could eat them whenever she was bored while traveling.

“Great Immortal White Lotus, you have boundless magical power to subdue monsters and demons.”

A noisy ruckus erupted on the street. When Su Ying looked through the curtains, she saw a group of people walking toward her.

“What gimmick is this?”

Zhou Qing turned to one side and listened carefully before replying “Your Imperial Highness, it seems that they are chanting something about the Great Immortal White Lotus.”

Great Immortal White Lotus? Su Ying seemed to have heard this name somewhere before.

She swallowed the snack in her mouth and suddenly remembered that Ji seemed to have mentioned this Great Immortal White Lotus to her. He saying something along the lines of this Great Immortal White Lotus being a very powerful immortal. The red thread with a white lotus pendant that he gave her was obtained from this Great Immortal White Lotus.

Su Ying looked at the pendant on her wrist and felt a little curious about this Great Immortal White Lotus.

She decided to just jump off the horse carriage and stood at a higher place to

look at the oncoming convoy.

“Great Immortal White Lotus, you have boundless magical power to subdue monsters and demons.”

As the convoy drew closer, Su Ying saw the palanquin being carried in the middle of the convoy. The palanquin was covered with a white veil, and through the veil, she seemed to be able to see a figure sitting inside.

Just when Su Ying thought that the figure was a statue, it moved momentarily. “A living person?”

As the convoy slowly approached, Su Ying could see the Great Immortal White Lotus’s appearance through the thin curtains.

“Zhou Qing, go and ask what this Great Immortal White Lotus is all about.” She didn’t mind that the commoners had their own religious beliefs, but this kind Of living immortal was not necessarily a good thing. If there were too many followers, it was easy for these people to be incited by people with ill intentions to do stupid things.

“Yes, your servant will go and ask around now.”

This Great Immortal White Lotus had quite a number of supporters, and the queue of people following him was simply too long.

“Your Imperial Highness, the street ahead is already clear.” The Imperial Guards returned to report after 30 minutes.

Su Ying nodded slightly and returned to the horse carriage.

Not long after that, Zhou Qing also returned.

“Let’s go first. Don’t block the street.” There were still many horse carriages waiting behind them.

Su Ying held the pack of sugar-roasted chestnuts and began peeling them She had instructed the Imperial Guards to buy them for her just now. They were still warm, and they tasted soft and chewy, and incredibly delicious.

“Your Imperial Highness, I have found out. Just now, that person was the so-called Great Immortal White Lotus. They say that she is a living immortal and is very powerful.”

Su Ying tossed a chestnut into her mouth. “How powerful?”

“They said she was very divine. Everything she said came true. There was a rabbit in front that was already dead. She touched it, and the rabbit came back to life. Many people saw it with their own eyes.”

Ji had told her this before.

“Is there anything else?”

■Yes, there is one more. It’s such a coincidence too. It’s about Mistress Jiang’s incident. Yesterday, after Mistress Jiang accidentally fell outside the restaurant, she met the Great Immortal White Lotus. When the Great Immortal White Lotus saw Mistress Jiang, she said that the child in Mistress Jiang’s stomach was the reincarnation of the star of the scholar but because its destiny ties with her were too tenuous, it was fated to leave her.”

What she meant was that Lin Zhuyu wouldn’t be able to keep her child.

“Now that everyone knows that Mistress Jiang’s child was not saved, the Great

Immortal’s words have come true again.”

Su Ying frowned. How could there be such a coincidence?

However, judging from the bruises on Lin Zhuyu’s stomach, she had fallen very badly. It was not surprising that her child was harmed. However, how could She be sure that Lin Zhuyu would not be able to keep her child with just one look?

“Don’t follow me back to the palace first. Go and look for Jiang Yang and ask him to send someone to investigate this Great Immortal White Lotus. Find out where this strange creature came from.”

“Yes, Your Imperial Highness..”
