The girl snuggled up to her father and nodded nervously.
A young man's high-pitched shout suddenly came from the surrounding commoners. "We'll know if the Shangqing Spiritual Master entered the palace to investigate yesterday!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the other commoners felt that they made sense. They nodded one after another, and someone even said, "I went to the Wuliang Temple early in the morning. The Daoist priest in the temple said that Shangqing Spiritual Master was summoned to the palace yesterday and didn't return the entire night."
A commotion instantly rose in the crowd, like ripples on the surface of a lake.
Chu Yi continued to walk forward and said unhurriedly, "The eldest princess is indeed sick."
"Shangqing said that we need to use 100 virgin boys and girls each. We need to take their heart blood and refine the Heart Pill formula to extend the eldest princess's life. Otherwise, the eldest princess won't live for more than three days."
