Children of Loulan

Chapter 141 National Preceptor

When the Queen Mother heard this, she felt as if she had grasped a life-saving straw and hurriedly said, "Tell me quickly! As long as it can save your brother, I am willing to try any method.

"Aidil took a deep breath and continued, "Since the imperial doctors are at a loss, why don't we ask the imperial teacher for advice? He is a master who is proficient in all kinds of ghost arts. Maybe he has some special methods to treat my brother's injury." After saying that, he looked at the queen mother expectantly.

The Queen Mother frowned, thought for a moment, and nodded: "You are right. The Imperial Master's magic is indeed profound and unfathomable. Maybe he can really find a good way to cure your brother. Without further ado, Edir, take someone to invite the Imperial Master to come!"

Aidier did not dare to delay and immediately left in a hurry. After watching him leave, the queen mother cast her eyes on the imperial doctors who were still kneeling on the ground and said calmly: "Okay, all of you get up! Hurry and take care of my grandson!"

Hearing the Queen Mother's words, several imperial doctors kowtowed to express their gratitude as if they had received a pardon, and then left impatiently. They didn't even want to stay in this place for a second, fearing that they would be implicated if they were not careful.

At the same time, in the Grand Prince's Palace, the atmosphere was extremely tense. The Queen Mother and the Grand King sat at the top, while several important officials stood respectfully at the bottom. They gathered here, waiting for an important person to arrive - waiting for Aidil to come with the Imperial Master.

As time went by, everyone became more and more anxious. However, just as everyone was eagerly waiting, Aidil finally brought the national teacher to everyone!

The state teacher of Loulan was originally a Taoist disciple from the Central Plains. He was proficient in some Maoshan techniques of the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams and often traveled around the world. When he first arrived in Loulan many years ago, he was unfortunately plotted against by others and almost died there. Fortunately, the current King of Loulan, who was still a prince at the time, appeared in time and saved his life. In order to repay this life-saving grace, he decided to stay in Loulan and serve as the state teacher. Because of this special life-saving grace, the king and the queen mother trusted this state teacher very much.

The Imperial Master was wearing a Taoist robe and holding a whisk. He came in and saluted the Queen Mother and the King: "I pay my respects to the King and the Queen Mother!"

The king quickly said, "Master, please stop being polite!"

The Queen Mother said anxiously, "Imperial Master, I asked you to come here today because I want you to save my grandson!"

The Imperial Master replied, "Before I came in just now, the Second Prince had already told me about this matter. Please rest assured, Queen Mother. I will go to visit the First Prince right away."

The Queen Mother nodded quickly: "Okay, thank you, Imperial Master. Please go quickly!"

After the Imperial Master entered the room, he immediately began to carefully examine the injuries of the eldest prince, Keremu. Meanwhile, the Queen Mother, the King, and other court officials were anxiously waiting outside the door. Time passed by little by little, and finally, the Imperial Master came out of the room.

The Queen Mother couldn't wait to step forward and ask, "Master, what's the situation?" Her voice was full of anxiety and worry.

The Imperial Master took a deep breath and slowly replied, "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, I have just carefully examined the eldest prince's injuries, which can be said to be quite serious. However, according to my divination, the eldest prince is destined to encounter this disaster. However, if you want to eliminate this disaster, there is a way... but..."

The Queen Mother was extremely worried and asked, "Just what? Tell me quickly! No matter what the cost, I will save my grandson!"

Facing the Queen Mother's urgent question, the Imperial Preceptor did not answer immediately, but turned his gaze to the King. Seeing that the Imperial Preceptor seemed to be a little embarrassed to speak, the King said without hesitation: "Imperial Preceptor, just say whatever you want to say! As long as you can save my son, nothing is a problem!"

After hearing the king's words, the national teacher said respectfully: "In fact, it is not difficult to overcome this disaster. All you need to do is to have a happy occasion!"

Upon hearing this, the king immediately showed a look of doubt on his face. He looked at the imperial teacher and asked, "A wedding to bring good luck? Is it that simple?" He was obviously skeptical about what the imperial teacher said.

The Queen Mother also interjected, "It's easy to have a happy marriage, but this is difficult. Does it mean that it's hard to find a woman who needs a happy marriage?"

The Imperial Master nodded and said slowly: "This woman cannot be an ordinary woman. She must be a woman who has been touched by the dragon's aura!"

The king frowned upon hearing this and looked at the Imperial Master and said, "You mean... he needs a woman from my harem to marry him in order to break this calamity?"

The Imperial Master bowed slightly and replied, "Yes!"

At this time, a court official suddenly stood up and said loudly: "But the women in the king's harem are all your prince's concubine mothers. How can it be justified to marry the mother off as a son!" His face was full of astonishment and dissatisfaction, and he seemed unable to accept such an arrangement.

The Queen Mother said with dignity: "The eldest prince's mother is the Queen, and the other women are just concubines. How can concubines be called mothers? Since they are not mothers, why can't they get married? This matter is settled, Imperial Master, the matter of selecting people is left to you!"

The Imperial Master replied respectfully, "Please rest assured, Queen Mother. I will go back today to perform a ritual for the eldest prince and pray for God's blessing. Tomorrow night at midnight, I will go to the palace to select a concubine for His Highness. At that time, all candidates are requested not to sleep, but to stay quietly in their respective palaces. I believe that God will guide me to find the right person for the wedding!"

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, I will go to the palace to make arrangements right away. Tomorrow night, I will be waiting for you in the palace!"

The Imperial Master promised and turned away. The Queen Mother watched his receding figure, then turned to look at the King and said firmly, "My grandson must be saved no matter what. As for the woman who brought good luck..."

The king immediately expressed his opinion: "Don't worry, mother. Mu'er is my own flesh and blood. If sacrificing a woman can save his life, why would my son hesitate?"

The Queen Mother said, "Well, that's great!" After that, she turned around and called out, "Mother Ba!"

"I'm here." A woman about fifty years old answered.

The Queen Mother looked at Grandma Ba with dignity and ordered, "Take good care of my grandson and prepare for the wedding. I will host the wedding for my grandson the day after tomorrow. Don't be careless!"

Madam Ba bowed her head respectfully and replied carefully, "Yes, I obey your command! I will do my best to take good care of the eldest prince, please rest assured, Queen Mother. As for the wedding, I will ask the servants to go out and make preparations, and there will be no mistakes by then."

The Queen Mother cast her eyes on the courtiers who had just raised objections. Her eyes were as sharp as a knife, as if she could see through their inner thoughts. She slowly asked, "My dear ministers, do you have any questions?"

These court officials were all experienced officials, so they knew that raising objections at this time would only bring trouble upon themselves. So they all replied respectfully, "The safety of the eldest prince should be the most important thing! The Queen Mother is wise, this is a blessing for the country and the people!"
