Chapter 152 Regeneration of Arm
Chapter 152 Regeneration of Arm
Two months later, Han Junyi finally woke up.
"You finally woke up." Siyu, who was guarding the bed, said in surprise as she watched Han Junyi slowly open his eyes.
"Princess Siyu." Han Junyi called Siyu hoarsely.
"Huihui, bring some water quickly. Young Master Han has woken up." Siyu shouted to Huihui, and then ordered the maid beside her: "Lian'er, go get some water and wipe Young Master Han's face."
"Yes, Princess." The two maids hurried to do what Siyu had instructed.
Han Junyi moved his only remaining right hand and supported his body to half sit up. "Thank you, Princess Siyu, for saving Junyi's life." When he chose to jump into the river, he felt that even if he died, he would not die at the hands of a woman. He didn't expect to be saved by Siyu.
"You didn't lose your arm just to save me." Si Yu's eyes were full of heartache: "We are even now, no one owes anyone anything."
Han Junyi certainly didn't miss the pain in Siyu's eyes. He knew he could make good use of this opportunity. Although his arm was broken, he still had a chance! "Thank you anyway, Siyu."
Siyu nodded and asked Han Junyi to rest more and not move around for the time being.
After everyone left the room, Han Junyi endured the pain, got out of bed and walked to the mirror.
Looking at his mutilated self in the mirror, he clenched his fists.
"I will definitely avenge the broken arm!"
Although the harsh words were spoken, Han Junyi knew in his heart that given his current condition, it was too early to talk about revenge.
The most urgent thing at the moment is to recover quickly before making any plans. So his goal at the moment is to take down Siyu, only in this way can he have a chance to turn things around.
In the days that followed, Han Junyi recovered well with Siyu's company, and his knowledge and insights often helped Xuanzhi in the court, which made Xuanzhi look at him with admiration. It was a pity that he had a broken arm. After all, he felt that he could not let Siyu down by marrying a disabled person.
After learning Xuanzhi's intention, Qiong Zhenxi called Siyu over and said, "Yu'er, tell your mother whether you admire that Mr. Han."
"Mother!" Siyu was a little embarrassed by Qiong Zhenxi's sudden question. But she changed her mind and nodded. She never hid her feelings. So she admitted her feelings openly.
"But, Yu'er, no matter how good a person he is, he only has one arm." Qiong Zhenxi couldn't help but say this.
"Yu'er doesn't mind, as long as he is a nice person." Siyu said without hesitation.
"Well, you don't mind, but your father does. You can't ask your father to announce to the whole world that his beloved son-in-law is a disabled person with a broken arm!" Qiong Zhenxi sighed. She was in a dilemma. She didn't want her beloved daughter to be sad, but she didn't want to offend Xuanzhi. Moreover, as the queen of a country, she knew best that if the son-in-law was a one-armed man, where would Tianqi's face be!
Siyu looked at Qiong Zhenxi firmly, "Mother, I don't care what others think, I only care about him. And his arm was broken to save me, I can't abandon him."
Qiong Zhenxi shook her head helplessly, "Why are you so stubborn, kid? Forget it, since you said so, I will go and fight with your father again. However, whether Han Junyi is worth your efforts depends on his future performance."
After getting the support of Qiong Zhenxi, Siyu said happily: "Thank you, mother. As for father, mother will definitely find a way to persuade him." Siyu didn't know her father well. He doted on his wife and doted on her. At present, it was just a matter of face. But speaking of it, it would be more perfect if Han Junyi was healthy. "Mother, do you think it is possible to make an arm for Mr. Han?"
"What nonsense are you talking about! Silly child!" Qiong Zhenxi reached out and tapped Siyu's nose lovingly: "But it's possible. The world is so big that there are all kinds of things. What you said gives my mother a point of entry to convince your father."
"I knew mother would have a way." Siyu hugged Qiong Zhenxi and said coquettishly.
In the evening, Qiong Zhenxi told Xuanzhi about this matter: "Your Majesty, do you think it is possible to make a fake arm for Han Junyi?"
Xuan Zhi looked at Qiong Zhenxi and said helplessly, "It must be that stubborn girl who is determined to have him. It's easy to say, but it's not that easy to make a fake arm."
"There are so many talented people, maybe there will be one who understands this. Your Majesty, how do you know if there is no one if you don't look for him?" said Qiong Zhenxi.
"I really can't do anything about you and your daughter. Let me give it a try." Xuanzhi is the one who falls for this kind of thing. As long as Qiong Zhenxi and Siyu act coquettishly, he will definitely agree to anything.
Xuanzhi immediately ordered the posting of an imperial decree to search the country for talented people who could make prosthetic limbs. If they could make an arm that looked like a real one, they would be rewarded with 10,000 taels of gold. Not long after, a man named Li Tian came to the palace to meet the emperor. Li Tian said that he had studied some ancient techniques and could try to make prosthetic limbs.
"I, Li Tian, pay my respects to His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress." Li Tian knelt respectfully with his forehead touching the ground.
Xuan Zhi looked at Li Tian with sharp eyes: "No need to be polite, you have revealed the imperial edict, but do you have a way to make a prosthetic limb?"
Li Tian stood up and responded with a cupped hand: "Your Majesty, I have an ancient skill that has been lost for a long time and passed down from my ancestors. Perhaps it can solve this problem. Seeing the reward from the emperor today, I dared to come and give it a try."
Xuan Zhi looked solemn and said seriously: "Do you know the consequences of failure?" His eyes were as sharp as torches, as if they could penetrate Li Tian's heart.
Li Tian showed no fear. He looked up and met Xuan Zhi's gaze, his eyes gleaming with determination. "If I didn't have confidence, I wouldn't have taken down the imperial edict, but my ancestral craft has been passed down until now, and I've never failed. If I can't succeed, I'm willing to die to apologize!"
Qiong Zhenxi nodded slightly, expressing his recognition of Li Tian's courage and determination.
"Okay, I'll give you a month." Xuan Zhi said with a smile. "Just ask for anything you need, the Imperial Hospital will help you throughout the process, as long as it's done."
"Yes, Your Majesty! I can start immediately." Li Tian said with a firm face.
Xuan Zhi nodded and waved, and the eunuch beside him walked to Li Tian's side: "Please follow me."
"Please lead the way, eunuch." Li Tian said politely to the eunuch who was leading the way.
After a while, Li Tian was taken to the palace where Han Junyi was.
Li Tian carefully examined Han Junyi's injuries, frowned, and thought deeply. Then he looked at Han Junyi's other intact arm and said, "I understand. Please cooperate with me during this period, Mr. Han."
"No problem." Han Junyi nodded. He was also excited. If he could really regenerate an arm, he would pay any price. A healthy body was too important to him.
In the following days, Li Tian would either ask the imperial kitchen to send freshly skinned pig and fish skins, or ask for a large amount of lotus roots. In short, he wanted to mix these strange things together. Then he asked Han Junyi to cooperate with him and wrap these things on his broken arm. Although Han Junyi felt extremely disgusted, he still endured it. After all, this was only his hope left.
Days passed by, and after unremitting efforts, he finally succeeded in using a unique material to make a prosthetic limb that was almost indistinguishable from a real arm, although it was not close to the performance of a real arm. However, Li Tian was not satisfied with this, so he began to make meticulous adjustments to the prosthesis, not letting go of every detail.
A month later, Li Tian finally finished making the prosthesis. Han Junyi felt very natural when he put it on. It was a pity that it could be indistinguishable from the real thing, but it could not be used like the original arm. Li Tian also made this clear to Han Junyi early on.
Han Junyi was filled with gratitude and bowed deeply to Li Tian.
Li Tian smiled and waved his hands, "This is what I should do. Let me help you try!" Then he touched his arm and said, "The most important and difficult step is here. It requires a strong ability to endure pain."
"I can endure anything as long as it can be done." Han Junyi looked at Li Tian with a firm face.
Then Li Tian took out his bag and called a few eunuchs. He wanted to start a ritual. He didn't tell Xuanzhi that the so-called ancient skills were witchcraft. This witchcraft could achieve many things, but the price was also corresponding. He wanted to use witchcraft to connect the arm made of lotus root and pig skin to Han Junyi's broken arm, so that Han Junyi could have a complete arm. However, Han Junyi's original nature would be eroded by witchcraft, leaving only the dark side, and as time went on, the whole person would become more and more crazy. The end is unknown.
"Ah!!!!" As Li Tian cast the spell, a powerful energy hit Han Junyi's body, causing him to feel an unbearable pain. This pain was like thousands of poisonous insects gnawing at his bone marrow, causing him to let out a shrill scream. However, he quickly clenched his teeth and tried to swallow the groan that was about to come out of his mouth. He knew that he could not show weakness at this moment and had to do his best to resist the invasion of this force.
Then, Han Junyi closed his eyes tightly, concentrated his mind, and gathered all his strength. He tried to use his willpower to reduce the pain in his body, but every breath became extremely difficult. Sweat flowed down his forehead and cheeks like a spring, soaking his clothes, and his face gradually became as pale as paper, without any blood. Despite this, he still persisted tenaciously and did not back down.
An incense stick of time passed, and Li Tian's forehead was covered with sweat. "It's OK, Master Han."
Han Junyi, who was already exhausted, looked at his hands and found that they were indeed intact. Although he had no extra strength, he still thanked him with a look of surprise. "Thank you, Mr. Li."
Li Tian nodded and returned to his residence to rest. This time he almost used up all his internal strength to combine Han Junyi and the arm. He really needed a good rest.
When Siyu heard the news, she rushed over. Seeing Han Junyi was as good as new, she burst into tears of joy: "That's great!"
"Thank you for everything you have done for me." Han Junyi knew that Xuanzhi would find someone to help him regenerate an arm, and it was naturally Siyu's credit. He was sincerely grateful to Siyu both publicly and privately. After all, this was the first time that a woman other than Zhen Luoyi had done this for him.
Han Junyi and Siyu hugged each other and cried, and their feelings deepened unknowingly.
When Xuanzhi and Qiong Zhenxi saw Han Junyi fully recovered, they immediately praised Li Tian's skills and rewarded him generously with wealth.
Because of this opportunity, Li Tian became the imperial physician in the palace and became famous.
Since Li Tian had the ability to help Han Junyi regenerate his arm, maybe he could find a way to cure the poison in Siyu's body. Xuanzhi summoned Li Tian to the imperial study. "Doctor Li, do you think there is a way to cure the poison in Princess Siyu's body?"
Li Tian knew that Siyu was poisoned, but unlike other difficult diseases, if the poison is not properly treated, it may backfire on the person who is trying to cure it, so he did not want to take the risk. He began to enjoy endless wealth and splendor. He shook his head and said in a difficult manner: "Your Majesty, I have carefully examined the poison in Princess Siyu's body. If you want to cure it, you can only find another source of the poison. It cannot be cured by medical skills. Moreover, if you rashly and forcibly cure the poison in the princess, it may backfire and endanger the princess' life. Please forgive me, Your Majesty, it is my incompetence."
Xuanzhi sighed. He didn't expect it to be so difficult to solve the poison! Is he going to ask for help from Zhao? He waved his hand and let Li Tian leave.
/////////////////////////////
As time went by, Han Junyi and Siyu spent time together day and night, and their feelings for each other deepened. Finally one day, Han Junyi felt that the time was right, and he decided to express his deep love to Siyu. So, he chose a special day - a full moon night, and with full sincerity, he said to Siyu under the bright moonlight: "Siyu, will you marry me?"
Hearing this, Siyu's face flushed instantly. She looked into Han Junyi's eyes shyly and nodded slightly to show her agreement. She replied softly, "Siyu is willing."
Han Junyi was filled with joy when he got Siyu's response. He knew that Siyu must be interested in him, so he said affectionately, "From now on, I will walk through every step of the future with you and create beautiful memories together."
Listening to Han Junyi's affectionate confession, Siyu shyly threw herself into Han Junyi's arms. On this quiet night, their hearts were closely connected and they promised each other eternal love.
The next morning, Han Junyi proposed to Xuanzhi to marry Siyu. After observing him for some time, Xuanzhi was quite satisfied with Han Junyi's character and talents. He also thought that if Han Junyi married Siyu, she would be able to take over his position in the future. After all, he knew that Siyu was such a precious daughter, and the future heir could only be Siyu, the queen of Tianqi.
However, both of them have their own calculations and plans in mind. Han Junyi believes that as long as he marries Siyu, he will have the opportunity to become the future king of Tianqi. Xuanzhi has already made up his mind that his only daughter Siyu is destined to become the future empress! Therefore, he nodded in agreement without hesitation and issued an edict to announce it to the world.
Soon, Princess Siyu and Han Junyi will hold a grand wedding! This news spread like thunder throughout the streets and alleys, arousing widespread attention and heated discussions. Many people are full of expectations for this marriage, and are also full of curiosity about its future development. After all, who will dominate this continent in the future is still unknown.
