Inside the room, everyone held their breath and focused their attention on the back of the young emperor. Even the young emperor himself was slightly tense.
It's still the same old story. Although there were no expectations from the very beginning, it doesn't stop people from waiting for the final result when it ends.
Under everyone's gaze, the "lotus pattern" on the back of the Little Emperor indeed did not show any fluctuations, calm as if it were a windless lake surface.
The beautiful peony eyes of the princess had a hint of helplessness, her face didn't show it, but in her heart she let out a soft sigh, indeed, everything was just as expected.
In the past, those powerful Dukes who were skilled in healing would often make a big fuss after helping the Little Emperor recover, and sometimes it would even cause the "Qinglian" on the Little Emperor's back to surge with energy and start counterattacking against the Heilou's aura.
Of course, this counterattack ultimately failed and could only barely maintain half of the Qinglian area.
But even if that counterattack failed, it still gives people a visual sense of excitement. Now this complete silence is actually making people unsure what to say.
It should be that Li Luo's strength is too weak to shake up the situation at all.
In the quiet atmosphere, Li Luo's expression was also a bit awkward. It was Princess Chang who was considerate of others and smiled: "Brother Li Luo doesn't have to mind, this is just an attempt after all."
Li Lu nodded apologetically and then said to the young emperor: "Sorry, Labor King is on."
The little emperor nodded silently, although he didn't say a word, but there was still some gloom on his face. After all, the congenital defect in his body often brought him great pain, making him physically weak since childhood.
Li Luo stood up and came to Jiang Qing'e's side, exchanging a glance with her. She also cast him a comforting gaze.
"Princess Chang, since you've tried to end it, we'll also take our leave first."
Jiang Qing'e didn't plan on having much more conversation with Princess Chang either, after all both parties had already achieved their goals and could meet again later.
The Empress nodded slightly and was about to send the two away first.
"Wait."
Just then, a hoarse and aged voice suddenly echoed in the room.
The Empress Dowager's footsteps paused, her eyes filled with some confusion as she looked at the gray-robed old man standing beside the bed. The voice just now was precisely from this gray-robed old man who had not spoken a single word from start to finish.
Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e also looked at the old man in gray with surprise, not knowing what this mysterious strong man meant by suddenly speaking up.
"Shadow old man, what is this?" The long princess's red lips slightly opened, asking in puzzlement.
The old man in gray clothes, whose eyes had always been closed like a shut door, now opened slightly. His deep and sharp eyes were fixed on the back of the Little Emperor, while his face, which was full of age, also showed a hint of surprise.
"Wait a moment, Your Majesty," said the old man in grey, stopping the young emperor who was about to put on his clothes.
The little emperor looked at him with a puzzled expression, but out of trust in the old man, he nodded and stopped dressing.
An old man in grey clothes stepped forward, and his pupils seemed to be flowing with a strange light, which swept over the small emperor's back where many meridians converged to form a "lotus pattern".
At this time, Princess Chang also sensed the old man in gray's unusual movement and immediately
Her face also gradually became solemn, because she was very clear about the strength of the old man in gray clothes. If he sensed something they couldn't discover, it was very likely.
It's just unknown whether that change is good or bad.
Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e also furrowed their brows at this time, the former having a bit of trepidation in his heart. Could it be that his previous operation had inadvertently caused some harm to the young emperor?
It won't come to that, will it? With his minor cultivation base as a diviner, even if he wanted to harm people, I'm afraid he wouldn't have the ability.
Along with the old man in gray clothes' investigation, the atmosphere in the room became somewhat oppressive without anyone noticing. Even the bright and moving face of Princess Chang was sometimes bright and sometimes dark under the lamp's illumination.
After all, if because of her reason, the Little Emperor suffered any harm here, I'm afraid that in the royal court tomorrow, there will be many high-ranking officials impeaching her.
This will have no small impact on her reputation.
In this oppressive and quiet atmosphere, the old man in gray continued to probe for several minutes, checking extremely carefully, and that aged face also underwent some changes with this inspection.
As if with a hint of weirdness and astonishment.
Li Luo looked at his changing facial expression, feeling a bit annoyed in her heart. What's going on, can't you just say it? Is it fun to play with people's emotions by changing your face here?
While Li Luo was being annoyed and anxious by the old man in grey, the latter finally ended his examination. He turned to look at the Princess, saying slowly: "Your Highness, there is indeed a very subtle change in the 'lotus pattern' on the Emperor's back."
The Empress Dowager's eyelid twitched, but she still asked calmly: "What changes?"
The old man in grey hesitated for a moment, then pointed to a certain place on the back of the Little Emperor's "lotus pattern", saying: "Your Majesty, this place was originally eroded by the black lotus energy, but after my observation, the black lotus energy here should have dissipated somewhat."
The eyes of the three people followed the gray-robed old man's finger, and then they saw what he was pointing at. It was a very short black line in that place. This black line was much smaller compared to the overall "lotus pattern" on the back of the Little Emperor. If the lotus pattern were considered a lotus flower, then this black line would probably be just a small thread on the petals of the lotus flower.
And also...
It's still black!
Li Luo looked seriously for a while and didn't find any change in that black line, it seemed to be the same as before, also didn't disappear directly.
Is that it?
Li Luo was speechless and felt that the other party was making a big deal out of nothing.
However, before he could finish speaking, Princess Chang hastily took two steps forward and asked with a serious expression: "Shadow Elder, is what you said true? The black stripes here have faded somewhat?"
She couldn't help but take it seriously, as the black stripes faded, indicating that the Black Lotus aura had been dissipated to some extent, whereas previously they had invited many treatment masters who were unable to dissipate the Black Lotus aura.
As they said, this so-called Black Lotus aura was even more difficult to dissolve than the dual powers.
But why did it suddenly fade out a bit now?
Although this change is subtle, it's still a change after all.
The grey-robed old man named Ying Lao pondered for a moment before speaking seriously: "Your Highness, I...
Although he was quite old, his eyes were still clear and transparent. Moreover, as for the lotus pattern on Wang Shang's back, Lao Fu had long remembered every subtle detail over the years."
"So, I feel like it won't go wrong."
The princess took a deep breath, her full breasts rising and falling, then asked: "What's the reason?"
The old man in grey robes fell silent for a moment, then cast his gaze towards Li Luo and said slowly: "Although it sounds unbelievable, this change might actually have something to do with this young friend."
The eyes of Princess Chang and Jiang Qing'e were both filled with incredulity as they looked at Li Luo, facing this outcome, even rational people like them felt absurd for a moment.
"It shouldn't be too impossible, right?"
Even Li Luo himself couldn't help but laugh dryly.
This is simply too illogical, those powerful warriors who are skilled in healing can't even solve the congenital deficiency of the Little Emperor, and yet this little Qi Master can do it, which is fundamentally impossible!
"Could it be due to the self-healing of Wang Shang's body?" Li Luo tried to offer some other views, because he didn't want the other party to inexplicably place the heavy responsibility of treating the Little Emperor on his shoulders.
After all, if something goes wrong at the critical moment, who will take responsibility?
The old man in grey robes shook his head silently. He had taken care of the young emperor for so many years, and yet he still didn't understand the situation with the "lotus mark" on his back?
These years, the variation of lotus pattern has been continuing, and the aura of black lotus has been constantly spreading, never showing any signs of being dissipated.
According to their years of experience, this Black Lotus aura should be extremely stubborn and bizarre. Its strangeness is so great that even the dual powers of a strong Marquis like Feng Hou can't resist it. They once invited the Dean of the Sacred Xuan Star Academy to take action, but although the Dean was a powerful being at the King level, he himself was not good at healing, so there was no way. He only said that this Black Lotus aura might be truly eradicated only by the triple powers of a master healer.
But such a powerful king-level figure is rare, and a king-level strongman who excels in healing is extremely scarce.
So today's scene also had some impact on the old man in gray clothes.
The old man in grey clothes looked at Princess Chang with his eyes, waiting for her decision.
The long princess's charming and moving face changed under the lamp light, and after a moment, she turned her eyes directly to Li Luo and said decisively: "We can't give up any hope, no matter how tiny it is."
"So, Li Luoxue junior brother, I ask you to treat me once again!"
If Li Luo's treatment really had a subtle effect, then coming again would necessarily produce this result, and at that time it would be possible to determine which change came from whom.
Li Luo heard this and his expression became somewhat hesitant.
The princess hastily stepped forward two steps, sincerely staring at Li Luo, saying: "Li Luo, this matter is really important. If you can cure the king, you will gain the friendship of our royal court! In the future, whatever you want to do, I will support you!"
Looking at the beautiful face of Princess Long, Li Luo's lips moved slightly, and he finally said somewhat awkwardly: "But..."
"That was...the last drop."
He's somewhat indignant, I'm just a minor photographer, you guys are all high-ranking officials, how can you understand my pain?
