Chapter 547= It Will Damage One’s Netherworld Merits
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
With a benevolent expression on her face, the Great Immortal White Lotus indicated to Madam Pang not to be anxious.
“Let me take a look.”
The Great Immortal White Lotus extended her fair jade-like hand and touched Nie Jun’s face. When she felt his burning temperature, she almost withdrew her hand.
Madam Pang did not even dare to breathe as she stared intently at the Great Immortal White Lotus. When she saw the Great Immortal White Lotus frown, her heart was almost in her mouth. It was not until the Great Immortal White Lotus stopped what she was doing that Madam Pang asked anxiously, “Great Immortal White Lotus, how is my son?”
The Great Immortal White Lotus returned to the praying mat, sat down, and closed her eyes. She then slowly opened them after tapping lightly with her fingertips. “The Young Benefactor has encountered a tiger blocking his way. His life path has been blocked.”
Madam Pang’s face instantly turned pale.
“Then… then what should we do?” In the first place, she thought that her son’s illness had erupted under strange circumstances. Now, after listening to the Great Immortal White Lotus, she was convinced of her hunch.
“There is a way to break it, but it’s too damaging to one’s netherworld merits and is really not suitable for use. I can only say that the fate between you and the Young Benefactor has ended.”
How could Madam Pang idly watch her child die?
“Great Immortal, please save my son. Tell me what to do. I’m willing to sacrifice all my netherworld merits!
The Great Immortal White Lotus did not speak.
Madam Pang took out a stack of silver notes from her pocket. “This is the incense offering that I am giving to you, Great Immortal. I hope you will not despise this materialistic and worldly offering.”
The Great Immortal White Lotus glanced at the monetary value on the banknotes and a glint flashed rapidly across her eyes. “I shouldn’t have told you, but I’m indeed touched by your love for your son. In that case, you should investigate carefully and see if there are any people near your child with birth characters like this set. Bring them to me and I will perform a ritual for them. Once the ritual is completed, your son will be free of worries.
The Great Immortal White Lotus wrote down a set of birth characters.
“Remember. This is a male child.”
Madam Pang took it and was stunned. This was the young First Prince’s birth characters!
“Great Immortal, is there a mistake?” she asked uncertainly.”
The Great Immortal White Lotus said confidently, “Of course there isn’t any mistake. Don’t worry. The ritual won’t hurt the other person. I’m just performing it to transfer some of his predestined lifespan to your child.” It was impossible for anyone to discover the transfer of predestined lifespan in a short period of time. Thus, Madam Pang was tempted.
She clenched the birth characters in her hands tightly, and her expression gradually became determined. So how did she know that these were the First Prince’s birth characters? It all went back to the time when the two children were born. Back then, Su Ying would also attend the gatherings of some aristocratic families. Madam Pang had met her a few times, and every time, without exception, she would scold the two children and read out their birth characters, complaining that they were born to jinx her.
From then on, Madam Pang subconsciously remembered this set of birth characters.
Madam Pang was still a little dazed when she left the Trinity Breeze temple. She only remembered what the Great Immortal White Lotus had said to her. What excuse could she use to trick the First Prince into coming to this place?
Forcibly abduct him?
Madam Pang felt that the feasibility of this plan was not high. She could not even barge through the palace gates, let alone go right into the Imperial harem’s quarters.
Even after returning to the General’s Residence, Madam Pang still couldn’t think of a good plan.
“Mistress, you are back. Old Mistress has been waiting in the main hall. She is anxious to know about Young Master’s condition.”
Madam Pang dealt with the Old Mistress impatiently. She only told her that Nie Jun’s condition had improved and that she did not have to worry.
With that, she brought Nie Jun back to her courtyard.
How could the Old Mistress fall asleep without seeing her beloved grandson?
She went straight to Madam Pang’s courtyard.
If the Old Mistress found out about the Great Immortal White Lotus, she would definitely not approve of her. Madam Pang ordered everyone to watch their mouths before allowing Old Mistress in.
“My precious grandson! What on earth is going on?
“Mother, don’t worry. The child is much better after taking the medicine, Madam Pang said to put the old woman’s mind at ease.
The Old Mistress did not believe her. She looked at Madam Pang skeptically.
“Did you really give Jun’er his medicine on time?”
Madam Pang nodded. “Mother, in this residence, other than you, only your daughter-in-law cares about Jun’er the most. Would your daughter-in-law harm her own child?”
The Old Mistress did not believe that Madam Pang would harm her own child, but she had to take the message sent by Imperial Physician Ma seriously. “You’ve been taking care of Jun’er for the past few days so it’s hard on you. I’ve already sent someone to the Imperial Academy of Medicine to ask for an Imperial Physician. Leave the treatment hereafter to the Imperial Physician.” Madam Pang’s expression changed slightly. How could she bring the child to the Great Immortal White Lotus if the Imperial Physician came?
“Mother, there’s no need to do this. That Imperial Physician Ma who came the last time was no good. Leave this matter to me. I guarantee that it won’t take long for Jun’er to be cured.”
The Old Mistress wasn’t stupid. She could tell that there was something wrong with Madam Pang’s behavior. Therefore, she didn’t dwell on this issue anymore. Instead, she stood up and said calmly, “Alright then. Make sure you help the child get better as soon as possible. I feel awful when I see him in this state.”
When Madam Pang saw that the Old Mistress didn’t harp on this matter anymore, she secretly let out a sigh of relief.
However, what she did not know was that the Old Mistress used an excuse to summon the people serving Madam Pang the next day. After a severe interrogation, the servants finally revealed what Madam Pang had done.
The Old Mistress almost fell over in anger when she heard that.
“When Mistress left, the Empress said that if Little Young Master’s condition was not treated in time, he would be in danger. But… but Mistress still took Little Young Master away.”
The Old Mistress took quite a while to catch her breath. She was downright furious.
“Servants! Go and keep an eye on Madam Pang. We must not let her do anything reckless. Prepare my Imperial Title robe. I want to enter the palace and beg the Empress to save my grandson’s life.”
The Old Mistress had absolute authority in the General’s Residence, and the people lower down the pecking order did not dare to disobey her. After she gave the order, people stood guard at Madam Pang’s courtyard overnight. When Madam Pang realized that something was wrong, she wanted to hide Nie Jun, but the Old Mistress had already barged in with her servants. “Go. Bring the Young Master out.”
Madam Pang’s expression changed drastically. “Mother, what are you doing?” The Old Mistress couldn’t resist stepping forward to give Madam Pang’s face a hard slap. “If I had known that you were so stupid back then, I definitely wouldn’t have let my son marry you! Watch over the Mistress. Without my permission, she is not allowed to take even half a step out of the courtyard.” “What did I do wrong to make Mother treat me like this?” Madam Pang was already anxious and angry, to begin with. Now that she was humiliated by the Old Mistress in public, she was even more resentful.
“I will settle the score with you for the stupid things you have done when I come back. Quick! Bring me and the Young Master to the palace.” Madam Pang panicked when she heard that they were going to the palace. ■’Don’t, Mother! You mustn’t enter the palace! Jun’er will die in their hands if you bring him to the palace!”
“Are you saying that the Empress and the others want to harm Jun’er and make him die? Are you crazy? Take her inside and lock her up!”
Two strong old maidservants came forward to restrain Madam Pang and dragged her into the house. No matter how Madam Pang screamed and cried, the Old Mistress turned a deaf ear.
The Old Mistress gritted her teeth and shook her head.. “What a misfortune on our family!”
