Murong Xian noticed this and asked the doctor by his side: “What seems to be the matter with him?”

“Your Highness, please don’t worry. Xiao Langjun is now out of danger. He is just not completely conscious. Let him rest more, he will be fine after a sleep.”

As the chief doctor said this, he pulled out a yellow talisman and drew a sleep talisman on it. Humming a little, he burned the talisman paper and mixed it with water for Xiao Chengjun to drink.

Having drunk the talisman water, Xiao Chengjun lay back on the bed and fell asleep again.

Observing this, Yingbao was amazed and suddenly entertained the idea: why not focus on mastering the Healing Prayer Technique?

She glanced at a series of small bamboo tubes hanging around the doctor’s waist, guessing that they contained various types of medicinal water. They were likely using rituals, prayers, talisman papers, and psychological suggestions to make patients believe their illnesses had been eliminated or transferred elsewhere.

This type of suggestion could indeed create an illusion for some patients, making them believe they were getting better, thereby putting their minds at ease. In combination with medicated treatment, their bodies naturally improved.

Her Wudingzhi used with medicinal herbs could be a perfect fit for this, given its magical effectiveness on many diseases.

The more Yingbao thought, the more she was convinced that the Healing Prayer technique was tailor-made for her – absolutely perfect!

“I want to become a Forbidden Curse Master in the future,” she said seriously to the two doctors, “Where can I buy relevant books?”

Both Forbidden Curse Masters had heard of this little six-year-old doctor and said with a smile: “If you really want to learn, you can become our apprentice.”

Yingbao looked a bit embarrassed, “But I have to go home. I can’t stay in Beijing for long.”

One of the Forbidden Curse Masters said: “Buying books is easy. The Calligraphy and Painting Workshop in Beijing sells them. However, these only provide the simplest of curses. If you want to learn the more profound ones, you need to have a master.”

Yingbao bowed to him, “Thank you for informing me. However, I need to discuss with my parents about becoming an apprentice when I get home.”

She merely wanted to learn the basics to bluff people. As for profound Forbidden Curse Techniques, she could take that slowly.

Murong Xian laughed: “I’ve got some curse books at my place. I’ll have someone find some and give them to you.”

“That’s great!” Yingbao gratefully said, “Thank you, Your Highness.”

After seeing off the two doctors, Yingbao started packing her things, preparing to leave the palace the next day.

As she was preparing, she realized that there were quite a few things she needed to take with her – three large boxes to be precise.

Apart from her own clothes, there were two boxes of silk and satin gifted by the Empress and some wax-making tools given by Yao Yuanzheng.

Soon after, Murong Xian sent some fabrics and fifty taels of gold, as well as a box of books.

When Yingbao opened the books, she found they were about the spell talismans of the four Healing Prayer Technique categories for curing diseases.

One book depicted the talismans used for bone setting, malaria, burns, ringworm, infantile convulsion, dog and snake bites, abscesses, and carbuncles.

The second book explained the universal talismans for curing diseases in each of the four categories.

The rest of the books detailed the talismans used for the major and minor categories of the pulse diagnosis category.

Overall, the Healing Prayer Technique mainly was about Forbidden Curse Technique and talisman drawing, and different spells and talisman patterns were used for different diseases. It seemed quite daunting at first.

However, there was no rush; she could take her time learning these things.

The next morning, Yingbao got up early and bid farewell to the Prince.

Murong Xian did not try to detain her and had escorts send her out of the palace.

Before leaving, Yingbao hesitated a moment, then took out two porcelain bottles from her bag and handed them to the Prince, “This is a health potion. You should take a large gulp every night before sleep to maintain a healthy body.”

These two porcelain bottles should be enough for him to last about two months. By then, the frail prince should be fit and robust.

Murong Xian smiled as he received the porcelain bottles: “Thank you, Yingbao, I will do as advised.”

After getting on the carriage, Yingbao looked ahead and saw a figure standing in the distance. It was no one other than Xiao Chengjun, who had already recovered.

Standing tall and looking handsome in his pale green robe fluttering with the wind, he was gazing at her with a deep look in his eyes.
