Chapter 23: Ling Ye's Only Glimmer of Hope:
Everyone was curious but didn't ask any questions. They simply responded with, "Yes!" and turned around.
The carriage, now without a roof or walls, also turned around.
Under the watchful eyes of the onlookers, as curious gazes followed them down the street, Ye Lin brought the unconscious man back to the palace...
Immediately, whispers filled the air.
Why would Her Highness bring back an unconscious man?
Could there be something special between this man and the princess?
The soldiers guarding the gate sighed in relief.
No matter what, the princess was safe, and she didn’t blame them—what a stroke of luck!
…
Back at the palace.
The first thing Ye Lin did after bringing Ling Ye back was to summon the imperial physician.
No matter what had happened to this man, she had to heal him!
Because he could help her... ascend to the throne!
In the grand hall, on a luxurious bed, Ling Ye lay there, looking like a dead man.
At this moment, the old imperial physician was holding his wrist, checking his pulse.
As he felt the pulse, he stroked his beard, a thoughtful expression on his wrinkled face.
After a moment, he let go of Ling Ye's hand.
Then he turned and bowed slightly to Ye Lin, saying, "Your Highness, this man's meridians are in chaos, and his vital energy is attacking his heart. He... doesn't have much time left."
These words felt like a needle piercing Ye Lin's heart.
She had found the perfect person to help her, only to discover that this person... was about to die?
"How long does he have?" Ye Lin immediately asked.
The old physician simply raised one finger.
"One year?" Ye Lin frowned.
If it was only a year, it might not be enough to complete all her plans.
However, the physician shook his head. "I'm afraid... he won't survive even a day!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lin's heart sank even deeper!
Not even a day!?
Was it that serious?
What had happened to him?
How had he been so gravely injured?
Ye Lin asked next, "Is there any way to save him? Please, Mr. Sun, do whatever it takes to save his life!"
"Your Highness overestimates my abilities!" The physician quickly bowed slightly.
He continued, "This man is already half-dead. Even if my little master, the divine healer, were here, he would be powerless to save him!"
Ye Lin furrowed her delicate eyebrows.
She had thought that this man who had fallen from the sky could be of use to her.
She had believed there was some fateful connection between them.
She had thought that it was destined for her to become the Empress!
But now... it turned out he was beyond saving?
Was she just overthinking it?
"However... there are two faint traces of internal energy within his body, and they are extremely powerful!" the physician suddenly added. "It's just a pity... even these two traces of internal energy can't save him! Unless... a third trace of internal energy is added, there might be a glimmer of hope!"
"Internal energy?" Ye Lin's eyes lit up.
Did this mean there was still a chance?
"Indeed! These two traces of internal energy are as strong as Your Highness's own!" the physician continued. "It seems that two highly skilled martial artists have already exhausted their life force to extend his life!"
There were indeed two traces of internal energy within Ling Ye's body!
Two extremely powerful traces of internal energy!
But the physician overlooked something—sometimes internal energy won't need to be transmitted.
Through a special form of dual cultivation, it was possible to generate internal energy within someone else's body, equivalent to their own lifelong cultivation!
Of course, this kind of physical dual cultivation technique is incredibly rare.
However... Luo Xinli and Leng Youruo just happened to practice this special form of dual cultivation technique!
So the two additional traces of internal energy within Ling Ye's body were naturally... from Luo Xinli and Leng Youruo!
Luo Xinli’s self-created "Mixed Primordial Body Refinement Technique" combined the essence of various martial arts.
She herself didn’t even realize this technique could be used for dual cultivation!
So, on that day in the Xingyu Tower, she unknowingly caused a trace of internal energy as powerful as her own to be generated within Ling Ye’s body!
And Leng Youruo’s "Heavenly Ghost Sect" technique was inherently a dual cultivation technique!
So it also allowed a trace of internal energy equivalent to her own to be generated within Ling Ye’s body.
Thus, there were already two extremely hidden traces of internal energy within Ling Ye’s body.
But these two traces of internal energy wouldn’t affect Ling Ye in any way.
In fact, unless Ling Ye deliberately focused on it, he wouldn’t even notice!
And at death's door, he obviously wasn’t in the right state of mind to care about such things, so he indeed hadn’t noticed!
"Unfortunately, these two traces of internal energy are still not enough!" the physician continued. "Unless a third trace of internal energy is added, forming a closed loop with the other two, it might protect his heart and save his life!"
"And there can only be a third trace of internal energy added, no more!"
"Moreover, this third trace of internal energy must be as close in strength as possible to the two already within him."
"Otherwise... if the three traces of internal energy become even more chaotic, it will only cause him to die faster!"
This was currently Ling Ye’s... only glimmer of hope.
To add a third trace of internal energy!
Internal energy that matched that of Luo Xinli and Leng Youruo!
But how many people in the world could match the strength of Luo Xinli and Leng Youruo...?
Ye Lin's golden eyes looked at Ling Ye lying on the bed.
After a moment of contemplation, she asked calmly, "You said... the two traces of internal energy within him are no weaker than mine?"
