Chapter 61.2 – The Crown Prince’s Divine Power

Jian Mei, eager to check the phone, didn’t chat with Xiao Ban for long and bid farewell. After returning to the attic, he heard from Ms Li that the young master had already gone to bed. Jian Mei washed up and returned to his small room, sitting on the bed and looking at the phone.

The knock-off phone was impressive; after so long, it still had half of its battery left. His first reaction was to open WeChat and found that almost all his friends were in dark mode, the chat log was also grayed out and unable to send messages. Da Zhuang ge’s account still showed as non-existent. This discovery made Jian Mei’s heart sink a bit, but he couldn’t rest assured about his parents. Even though they were grayed out, he still clicked on his mother’s WeChat account. After a few clicks, he made a surprising discovery – he could view Moments! Although some people’s Moments were only visible from the last three days, and some had no Moments at all, Jian Mei went through everyone’s posts and found that the comments below the posts conveyed the most important information.

“Sister Na, take care of yourself.”

“Sister Na, be mindful not to overexert yourself. I believe Mei Mei will wake up soon.”

“Yeah, I heard that even though Mei Mei hasn’t woken up, the white blood cell count is decreasing, which is a good sign.”

After reading through the comments, Jian Mei finally understood the situation of his body on another planet. It was a condition similar to being in a deep coma, like a vegetative state, where the body’s functions were normal, except for consciousness.

Knowing this, Jian Mei felt a bit relieved. At least his body hadn’t died, which meant there was a possibility of returning home. Realizing this, Jian Mei felt a surge of energy. The phone became like a piece of driftwood in the ocean, keeping him from losing direction.

Jian Mei exited WeChat and explored other apps, discovering that the “All kinds of Medicine” app allowed normal login and ordering!

Although it still operated on a points system, he and DaZhuang ge had accumulated a lot of points, with tens of thousands in total. In the past, he could only buy medicine, but with the latest 2.0 version upgrade, ‘All kinds of Medicine ‘ now allowed the purchase of seeds!

Jian Mei had been thinking about how to treat the young master’s leg. He had a rough plan for the medicine and treatment, but the only problem was the lack of complete medicinal herbs. Now with All Kinds of Medicine, all these problems seemed to be easily solved.

If he could heal the young master’s leg, he could make a request later. With certain conditions, going to the imperial capital might be possible. Who knows, he might even get to see DaZhuang ge. Seeing DaZhuang ge could potentially lead to going back home.

As Jian Mei clarified this logical sequence, he became more and more excited. This was the happiest day since he transmigrated, and he had the most comfortable night’s sleep. He even had a sweet dream, leading to the next day when he tried to wake up multiple times, but the alarm couldn’t get him to fully wake. In a daze, he heard a voice calling, “Mei Mei.”

It seemed like something warm was on his way. Jian Mei, in a drowsy state, opened his eyes and saw an enlarged, delicate face. He jumped in surprise, “Young Master!”

The young master sat back, looking at him helplessly, “Are you awake?”

Jian Mei checked the clock on the wall and realized he had overslept. He awkwardly said, “I’m sorry, Young Master, my mistake.”

The young master tilted his head, looking at him, “Did you have too much fun yesterday?”

Jian Mei initially wanted to say yes, but seeing the young master earnestly gazing at him, he swallowed the words. Knowing that the young master couldn’t go out often due to his leg problem, he probably wouldn’t be very happy. So, he put on a smile and said in a sweet voice, “Not really. I prefer staying by the Young Master’s side and reading books.”

The young master knew it was a lie, but a smile tugged at the corners of his mouth. The boy with a refined demeanor looked at him helplessly, “You talk too much.”

Jian Mei chuckled, “Young Master, have you eaten? I’ll help you get ready for breakfast.”

The young master shook his head, “We’ll have an important guest at the mansion today. I’ll dine in the main hall. Tidy up and accompany me there.”

According to protocol, commoners couldn’t participate in such occasions. Only attendants trained and capable of representing the master were allowed. However, the young master didn’t care about these rules.

And this was Jian Mei’s first chance to meet an important guest.

Although he wasn’t very interested, since the young master had asked, he agreed, “Sure, Young Master. I’ll be right down.”

The two of them tidied up and left the attic. Ms Li pushed the wheelchair, and Jian Mei followed along. On the way, he casually told the young master about what happened outside yesterday. When passing by the garden, a group of people was walking. Suddenly, from a nearby path, there came a somewhat high-pitched, beast-like roar, similar to a dog’s bark.

Then, a four-legged creature with yellow head fur came running, fast and directly toward Jian Mei’s group, looking extremely dangerous.

The incident happened too suddenly, and everyone couldn’t react in time.

Jian Mei, however, instinctively grabbed the wheelchair and positioned himself in front. The boy’s clear voice carried a touch of urgency, “Young Master, be careful!”

The four-legged creature couldn’t stop in time and dangerously rushed toward them. When it was about to collide, it directly hit Jian Mei’s leg. Instinctively, Jian Mei extended his leg to block it. Surprisingly, the creature, which didn’t look lightweight, seemed to receive some forceful impact from this block. It rolled several times and fell into a fountain pool not far away.

“Splash!”

Water splashed, and the surrounding ground became wet. Jian Mei stood in front of the young master, and only the young master’s body remained relatively clean.

A girl ran over from nearby, exclaiming, “Fluffy!”

The creature in the fountain, making distressed sounds, crawled out and approached the girl in a pitiful manner. It even specially barked at Jian Mei, as if reporting to its owner.

The girl, feeling sorry for her pet, was initially about to scold whoever kicked Fluffy, but when she saw the attire of the other person, she was astonished. Clearly, it was commoner clothing, and moreover, worn by an ordinary person without magical power. How could Fluffy, a magical creature, be kicked by a commoner?

So the girl looked at the young master. Just as she was about to accuse him, she noticed the young master’s disability. It seemed impossible for him to be the culprit. Then she shifted her gaze to Ms Li, but the elderly woman was also unlikely to handle a magical creature. In the end, the girl couldn’t bring herself to ask, as she couldn’t determine who was responsible!

……

Stan Star, Imperial Capital

In the vast council chamber, officials and military officers sat neatly in two rows. The hall was filled with big shots from various fields. Now, everyone had to sit in order and report affairs to the young man seated at the top. Since the emperor was recuperating due to illness, it was the crown prince overseeing the overall situation.

Lu Xingwang sat in the front row, reviewing the data and information reported on the information panel. While it might be dazzling for others, he could digest it quickly and issue the clearest and concise instructions: “During the rainy season, cities built near mountains need flood prevention measures. Weather inspections by the priests should be thorough, and emergency locations in the cities should be planned in advance.”

People below listened and made notes rapidly.

Lu Xingwang continued to browse the documents: “Yesterday’s approved funds from the pharmacy need more detailed data before the afternoon. Despite the considerable funds allocated annually from the treasury to hospitals, the number of patients seeking treatment from healing priests hasn’t increased significantly compared to last year.I need to see where the allocated funds are being used in the documents.”

The people from the pharmacy were usually arrogant, and even the emperor used to treat them with respect. However, when they tried to retort to the crown prince, they swallowed their words when met with Lu Xingwang’s cold and piercing gaze. It was terrifying. Even though they were used to being treated with deference, they knew that the crown prince wouldn’t tolerate any disobedience. There was no doubt that disobedience might even pose a threat to their lives.

Lu Xingwang withdrew his gaze from them, lifted an eyebrow, and scanned the crowd, “Does anyone have objections?”

Everyone shook their heads.

Lu Xingwang closed the documents, “Adjourned.”

He stood up and walked back. His study was more magnificent now. Going from the conference room towards the back was his study. The study was lined with bookshelves on all four walls. Even though the meeting had adjourned, Lu Xingwang, without rest, sat down at the desk and began reviewing the stacked memorial reports. Zuo Qingshan followed him, intending to discuss the upcoming autumn harvest ceremony. However, he saw Lu Xingwang, who had been reviewing the memorials, suddenly pause.

“Clatter.”

The memorial fell onto the table, and Lu Xingwang’s expression changed.

Zuo Qingshan inquired, “What’s wrong?”

The air seemed to freeze for a moment, casting a heavy atmosphere in the study. Lu Xingwang slowly picked up the documents, even lowering his head to glance at his own hands, as if immersed in some contemplation. Then, he raised his head and said to Zuo Qingshan, “I just sensed a fluctuation in my divine power.”

Zuo Qingshan didn’t understand, and he shrugged, “Isn’t it normal to sense divine power fluctuations? I often sense them.”

“Not the fluctuations within me.” Lu Xingwang’s entire aura changed. He looked up at Zuo Qingshan, speaking slowly but with seriousness, “It originated from somewhere else.”

Zuo Qingshan didn’t grasp it initially. However, as he observed Lu Xingwang’s deep, dark eyes, he slowly realized, widening his eyes and almost jumping up, “Are you saying… that the kid didn’t die?”
