Chapter 253 This guy is totally cheating!
Two days later, Arthas prepared the antidote and immediately asked his maid to feed it to him.
That night, Orange, who had been in a coma for many days, finally woke up. Upon seeing this, the maid immediately reported it to Arthas, who was practicing in the moonlight on the top floor.
Upon hearing this, the latter asked the maid to prepare food for Orange and walked towards the room where Orange was.
When Orange saw Arthas coming in, he felt complicated and sighed, "Arthas, you saved me again."
The maid went out to inform Arthas of this moment. She had learned from another maid that this was Arthas's residence in the academy, and that she had been unconscious for several days. It was obvious that her injuries were serious, and even Arthas could not cure her in a short time, so Xu Tianran sent her here directly for convenient treatment nearby. Of course, it is not ruled out that he also wanted to make friends with her.
Letting his crown princess live in the home of another person of the opposite sex shows his trust and respect.
"You are severely poisoned and your body is still very weak. What you need most is rest and recuperation. It is better not to move around." Arthas said, "Stay here for the next few days so that you can check on your condition at any time. When the remaining poison is completely eliminated and the condition stabilizes, you can go back and recuperate on your own. If nothing unexpected happens, you can get out of bed and walk normally after another month of recuperation."
Orange glanced at the maid next to her and nodded slightly, "Then I'll trouble you."
Arthas did not stay for long. After giving a few instructions, he turned around and left, returning to his room to continue his practice.
Soon, another maid returned to the room with hot porridge.
While Juzi was eating under the care of his father, she asked another maid to tell her what happened during her coma. The two maids present had already received Xu Tianran's hint, so they told the truth, but did not reveal anything that might leave sequelae.
Therefore, Orange didn't think much about it.
But after drinking the porridge, he couldn't help but call upon his soul power to feel himself, and his expression became quite ugly.
The situation was very bad. Her body was in pain all the time as the soul power flowed, which showed that the poison had damaged her organs and meridians, especially the heart area closest to the wound. She was in severe heart pain, which showed how critical her situation was when she was sent back to Mingdu.
The poison attacks the heart, which could be fatal if one is not careful.
Although he was out of danger now, the first thing Orange thought of was whether there would be any sequelae for this level of poison injury, which would affect his future practice. She turned her head and glanced at the maids beside her, thinking that the two of them probably didn't know, so she decided to ask Arthas directly later.
So, when Arthas came to check on his condition early the next morning, Orange couldn't help but ask about his own condition.
Arthas did not hide too much. "The poison has entered my lungs and seriously damaged my body functions. Even if I completely get rid of the poison, I'm afraid I will need to recuperate for a long time afterwards, and it will have a certain impact on my cultivation."
"Fortunately, your martial soul is of the food type, which can increase your body's self-healing ability to a certain extent. With the help of medication, it is possible for you to fully recover, but it may take a long time."
"If we take into account my martial arts healing ability, and assist with treatment once a week, this time should be shortened a lot."
Injuries are easy to heal, but the foundation is hard to repair. Even his life force can't do its job. There's nothing he can do about it. The distance from the battlefield to Mingdu is too far, and it took too long. His body was damaged too much. His immune system might have been down along the way.
"Is that so?" Orange murmured, and suddenly understood why Xu Tianran was willing to send her to Arthas.
"Thank you for your help." She forced a smile.
"It's my duty," Arthas said calmly, "Besides, we are friends, aren't we?"
My friend Orange's eyes dimmed for some reason, but he still nodded slightly, and then listened to Arthas' suggestion to check the injuries.
"Okay." Orange nodded, and with the help of the maid, she turned sideways to expose her wound.
Arthas glanced at it, then extended his hand and injected soul power to investigate, and said, "It's recovering well. The poison should be completely removed in a few days. By then, my soul power will be able to fully function, and the wound should not leave any scars."
Then he took his hand back and said, "You should have a good rest. I have something else to do, so I will leave first."
"Okay." Orange responded softly.
Arthas turned and left.
With two maids beside her, Juzi did not dare to show any abnormality on her face. She turned around calmly and closed her eyes to rest.
After a while, Xu Tianran, who received the news, rushed to the academy and came to see Juzi as soon as possible. After a round of greetings, he heard Juzi say that he would need to recuperate for a month after the poison was removed before he could move normally. He immediately said that he would recuperate well in Alsace, and his words were full of recognition and trust in Alsace's medical skills. As for military affairs, the emperor had already arranged for another general to take over, so there was no need to worry.
Pick yourself up very cleanly!
Having worked with Xu Tianran for many years, Juzi naturally understood his personality and character, so he didn't say much. Of course, there was some disappointment. After all, it was not easy to climb to this position, and now it was taken away overnight. Anyone would feel uncomfortable.
However, this near-death experience also made her more open-minded and she is no longer so keen on power.
In other words, she had seen through the hypocrisy of the royal family, especially people like Xu Tianran. Now when she heard Xu Tianran speak, she felt inexplicably disgusted.
After a perfunctory response, he watched Xu Tianran leave.
Xu Tianran came to the dean's office and asked someone to invite Arthas over alone. When he arrived, he first thanked Arthas for saving Orange, and then asked about Orange's physical condition. He said seriously that there was no need to worry and just tell the truth.
Arthas told the truth, but it was useless to say anything because Xu Tianran was unable to have sex now.
To put it simply, it is best not to have sex, let alone have children, before you are fully recovered, otherwise your body will suffer more serious damage and even your life may be in danger.
The mother's foundation has not been well maintained, and then distributing the nutrients to the child will naturally cause great harm to the mother's body.
As for how long it will take to recover, Arthas said he couldn't say for sure, but said it might take several years.
This is even with the help of his soul power.
Of course, if the main body helps, the time can be greatly shortened. After all, the main body has a martial soul, but he does not. The light of life is hard training. In terms of healing ability, it is naturally not as good as Minghui's main body.
This is pure cheating!
Xu Tianran didn't show anything on his face, he just asked Arthas to do his best.
He also said that in order to prevent accidents, Orange could continue to stay in his residence in Alsace during his one-month recuperation period.
Arthas was naturally alert, thinking that Xu Tianran had suddenly become so open-minded, and he might be trying to cause trouble.
But he didn't care. In his opinion, it was nothing more than a way to use Juzi's stay at his house for a few days to create a black mark on him so that he could control him in the future. As a clone who would leave after completing the task, would he be afraid of this?
I hope it won't cause too much trouble. He is not afraid of gossip, but he doesn't want it to affect his daily life.
After watching Xu Tianran leave, he went back to the laboratory to do his own things. How could a girl be as good as a soul guide!
In the afternoon, Ke Ke, who had successfully applied for resignation, came to the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy and stayed in Alsace's residence to accompany Orange.
A few days later, Shrek Academy officially went on holiday, and Huo Yuhao followed Wang Dong to Haotian Castle.
Minghui was doing the same as before. It is worth mentioning that Han Ruoruo did not go home this year, but chose to stay in school to practice with Zhang Lexuan while Minghui practiced with Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen. On the other hand, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy also announced a holiday, and Arthas's life did not change much. With Ke Ke accompanying Ju Zi at home, he basically did not have to worry about it, and he went out early and came back late as usual to practice.
At the same time, the news that Juzi was being treated at Arthas's residence spread quietly throughout the Sun Moon Empire as the students returned home for the holidays. Also spread was the fact that Juzi and Arthas had teamed up to experiment with soul guides in the Jingyang Mountains. "So, Arthas saved the Crown Princess' life twice."
"Now that we live directly in Arthas's house, so close to each other, what do you think?"
"Don't say anything nonsense, it will damage the reputation of the Crown Princess if it gets out."
Some gossip quietly emerged.
Mingde Hall, Laboratory Zero.
"Arthas, have you heard any rumors recently?" A soul mentor next to Arthas reminded in a low voice.
"What rumors?" Arthas said lightly while assembling the soul guide.
"That's right, you are basically in the laboratory during the day." The soul engineer muttered, and then lowered his voice.
"Arthas, there are rumors about you and the Crown Princess. To avoid misunderstandings, I suggest you move to another place for the time being."
Anyway, he didn't believe the rumors were true. Judging from Arthas's lifestyle, it didn't look like he was in love.
"I don't know if Xu Tianran is behind this." Arthas thought to himself, his face still calm. He nodded slightly to indicate that he understood and would go to the hall master to apply for it later.
He is not a troublemaker.
And he did feel that having four women living in the dormitory now was a bit of a bother to him.
Then as soon as he went out, he ran into Meng Hongchen and said that he had some questions to ask him.
Arthas felt very troubled. This was not the first time. It had suddenly become more frequent in recent days. Now he suddenly understood the reason. Meng Hongchen was planning to use himself as a shield for him. Although it was for his own good, he still felt a little upset.
But he still answered his questions patiently, and then quickly found Jing Hongchen to apply for a change of dormitory.
Jing Hongchen nodded in agreement. There were four women living in Arthas's residence now, which would indeed cause some trouble. He had also heard about the recent rumors in Mingdu.
His granddaughter also knew about it, which was why she had been frequently going to Arthas to ask questions related to martial spirits.
As expected, she was really moved, which he was quite happy to see, so he did not stop her.
In the afternoon, Arthas returned to his residence and talked to Orange and Koko about changing dormitories.
Ke Ke was a little annoyed and said, "Have you heard the rumors outside? Humph, it's just some idle people talking nonsense and looking for gossip. What's there to pay attention to? I live here too, why don't I see those people gossiping about us?"
"Humph, it's nothing more than seeing that Juzi is the Crown Princess, so the topics to talk about are more exciting."
"I know." Arthas nodded. "However, there are already four girls in this dormitory, including you. It is not appropriate for me to continue living here."
"Also, although it is unwarranted criticism, given Orange's current status, it is indeed not appropriate for me to stay here for long."
"I have already applied to Master Jing. The new dormitory is right next to me, so it won't affect my regular checkup of Orange's condition."
There is nothing much to say about Keke.
Orange had nothing to say, even though he had other ideas in his mind.
As long as she holds the title of Crown Princess, her words and actions must be measured, otherwise it would be easy to hurt others and herself.
Soon, Arthas packed up his things and moved to another small courtyard not far away.
The next day, the news still caused a reaction, especially among the descendants of the royal family. Previously, Arthas had a verbal battle with the elders, which made them lose face. Now that they had the opportunity, they began to be sarcastic in both overt and covert ways.
"They say explanations are cover-ups, but Arthas's sudden move makes me even more suspicious, to be honest."
"Could it be that Arthas has really fallen in love with the Crown Princess? If so, that would be really shocking!"
"The Crown Princess has an absolutely beautiful face. I believe any man would be moved by her. We spend so much time together. Don't say anything. Really don't say anything."
Of course, there are people who have seen Arthas and raised objections after hearing the criticism, but will those who are curious about the matter care?
I don't care at all. These people who are idle at home during the New Year just lack something to talk about during their leisure time.
Therefore, rebuttal is useless.
Until Jing Hongchen noticed something was wrong, the always decisive and ruthless Crown Prince Xu Tianran did not take any action in response to the criticism from the outside world. He immediately guessed that Xu Tianran might have regarded Ju Zi as a discarded pawn and wanted to take advantage of the situation to throw some dirty water on Arthas to facilitate future control. From the perspective of an emperor, this might be understandable, but from a personal perspective, he was a little disgusted.
Moreover, he didn't think that this little trick could be hidden from Arthas. Even if he didn't notice it now, he would soon understand it later. The emperor had not really been in contact with Arthas for a long time, but he had frequent contacts with him and knew Arthas's temper very well. He was a typical person who would not tolerate hardship, and he was very disgusted with this kind of shady behavior.
Honestly speaking, he felt that His Majesty and the Crown Prince were a bit arrogant with this move. Did they really think that since the other party had cut off ties with the original three empires, they must stay in the Sun and Moon Empire?
Besides, he felt that this was unfair to Arthas.
So he went to the palace to meet His Majesty, mentioned the rumors outside, and said that it would damage the reputation of the Prince and the Princess.
The emperor then issued an order that anyone who criticized the situation would be severely punished, and the situation finally calmed down.
At the same time, Wang Dong took Huo Yuhao on a stroll all the way to Haotian Castle. They took their time on the way, treating it as a date and outing. Wang Dong's original words were, "Anyway, there is still some time before the real New Year, and my parents are out and about, so there is no need to rush."
Since Minghui had previously revealed the truth at the dinner table, their relationship quickly heated up.
That night, Huo Yuhao, who had always regarded his senior brother as his idol, felt that it was time to advance from holding hands to something more.
He first booked a double bed room at the hotel as usual, and then made some nervous attempts.
Finally, as Wang Dong closed her eyes and looked shy, Huo Yuhao’s heartbeat quickened and he slowly moved his mouth closer to hers.
Three seconds later, their lips touched.
A golden light suddenly appeared on Wang Dong's body.
“Ah!” Huo Yuhao was thrown away on the spot, and then hit the stone wall beside the bed next to him with a bang.
“What’s going on?” Huo Yuhao’s mind was full of questions.
