Chapter 89 (First published on Jinjiang Literature City) 089 I will give her the most noble...

At the Chaolu government tent, the herdsmen quickly arrived. Si Kedun's sudden fainting was no small matter. Lady Hailaqiu rushed over immediately, and Pei Du, having also received the news, immediately came over with Doctor Xu.

After Ruan Yu was poisoned, Xu Zhongzai was in charge of her treatment and care, and he always carried her with him a constant supply of medicine.

However, several months have indeed passed since Lingzhou was poisoned, and since the poison has not been completely neutralized, it should have relapsed.

When Chen Wang received the news, he was sitting in his wheelchair. He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stood up.

A-Yuan and several other attendants immediately stepped forward to help him up, "Your Highness!"

Chen Wang was feeling a bit dizzy: "Let...Li Su go..."

A-Yuan: "Quickly! Send Doctor Li to the Khatun's tent!"

Li Su was in the Golden Tent at the time, but upon hearing this, he immediately set off for the Four-Kidun Tent.

When they arrived, Xu Zhong had already finished administering the acupuncture. The herdsman had no way to treat this kind of poison. Xu Zhong briefly explained the situation to Li Su, who nodded and stepped forward to take Ruan Yu's pulse.

Both of them looked rather grim. Chao Lu was practically bursting with anxiety, and his tone was rather harsh: "How's it going! You've been watching for so long, say something already!"

Lady Qiu comforted him, "Chao Lu, don't worry."

Doctor Xu bowed and said, "Your Highness, in my opinion, the poison in Si Ke Dun has reached his heart... If we don't detoxify him quickly, I'm afraid his life will be in danger."

Li Su: "This poison is insidious. I can try to delay the attack for a few days, but that's too late to solve the immediate problem."

Chao Lu had sent out many people to investigate Ruan Yu's background over the past few months, but all to no avail. Hearing this news now was really hard for him to accept.

"Is that the only way?!"

Xu Zhong: "Yes... it can only be the flesh and blood of a close relative."

Chao Lu began to panic.

He is adept at handling political affairs.

But he suddenly realized that he was completely helpless in this matter.

This feeling made Chaolu feel as if a huge hole had been torn in his heart, and he began to panic violently.

"Closest relatives?"

Suddenly, Chen Wang appeared outside the tent. He walked over by himself, but he seemed to be in a bit of a predicament and returned to his wheelchair. His complexion was also not very good.

Xu Zhong: "It is...a close relative."

There was a moment of silence in the tent; everyone seemed puzzled as to why Prince Chen had suddenly come.

But after a moment, Prince Chen said calmly, "Li Su, try me out first."

"?"

This time, even Li Su didn't understand.

Chao Lu frowned and said, "Your Highness, are you not feeling well either?! I'm even more worried!"

King Chen: "..."

His gaze toward Chaolu suddenly became more critical.

There's also a sense of disbelief, like looking at someone who's an idiot.

King Chen met everyone's gaze and no longer concealed himself: "I have another purpose in coming to the grasslands, which is to find my other lost child. Just now, my scouts reported that perhaps the person I am looking for is not far away but right before my eyes. Li Su, take a blood test first."

After Chen Wang finished speaking, everyone's eyes widened. Li Su snapped out of her daze and immediately agreed, her breathing becoming excited.

He was from the Chen Prince's residence, so he naturally knew that the prince had spent two years searching for the young prince. So it turned out to be the young princess?!

Chao Lu: "What did you say...?"

His mind was a little foggy, but Hela reacted first—

"Your Highness, are you saying that An'an is your child?!"

King Chen: "Very likely, we can only be sure after testing."

"No, this... how could this be... An'an isn't Prince Rong's..."

Hela was still unaware of Ruan Yu's true identity, as was Madam Qiu. Both of them looked at Chao Lu, who lowered his eyes, returning from shock to calm.

Clearly, he believed the King of Chen.

Or rather, they had no choice but to trust King Chen.

Pei Du was also a little surprised. All eyes were on Li Su, who took the blood of Ruan Yu and Prince Chen and poured it into a vessel.

soon……

Li Su and Xu Zhong both noticed it—

"Indeed, Your Highness, it is indeed the Princess!"

King Chen was clearly a little agitated and tried to get up again.

A look of confusion and bewilderment flashed across Chaolu's eyes, a complex mix of emotions swirling within him. He moved his lips slightly, "Then..."

Xu Zhong: "In that case, there's a way to cure Khatun's poison!"

Chao Lu's eyes lit up again.

He couldn't help but look at King Chen.

King Chen calmed himself down and said, "You may begin. Just tell me what you need me to do."

...

Next, Ruan Yu will face a two-day detoxification process.

There may be dangers involved.

The Khan was still asleep, and the entire Chaha tribe was counting on Chaolu to take charge.

Chao Lu was feeling frustrated and wanted to put aside all his affairs and stay in his tent.

But the ministers of the Golden Horde came and went, ostensibly to visit the Khatun, but weren't they also testing Chaolu's attitude?

Chao Lu got angry and simply sat in the outer tent, but he didn't leave Ruan Yu or go to the golden tent.

After Xu Chong took Chen Wang's blood and bones, his body seemed to have become a bit weak. Even though it was summer, he put on a cloak.

Chao Lu had just dismissed an annoying minister. He rubbed his temples; he hadn't slept for a day and a night, and his eyes were now visibly dark.

He heard the sound of a wheelchair behind him and slowly turned around.

Without waiting for him to ask, Prince Chen said directly, "The rest is up to Xu Zhong and Li Su."

Chao Lu moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something but didn't, and just nodded.

"Chao Lu, let's talk."

King Chen walked up to him, their eyes met, and Chao Lu looked puzzled: "What are you talking about?"

"Talk about my daughter."

Chao Lu was stunned for a moment, looking somewhat dejected.

King Chen smiled and said, "When we first met, I felt a deep connection between us. At first, I thought it was just because we were the sons of an old friend, but I never expected..."

Lady Qiu was just about to come and find Chao Lu when she heard this, and she stopped in her tracks. She and Haila stood aside and did not come forward.

Chen Wang spoke slowly but firmly: "Actually, your mother and I were old friends."

He slowly recounted his experiences from his youth, but his tone was calm, as if he were talking about someone else's affairs.

Madam Xu's eyes gradually reddened behind the curtain as memories flooded back.

It's only natural that Haila and Chaolu were surprised and shocked when they first heard this distant story.

Hela looked at her mother, her eyes filled with heartache...

In the end, even King Chen's emotions were stirred.

"Therefore, I have been lying low in Youzhou for twenty years, firstly for revenge, secondly for the sake of the Wei family, and of course, ultimately for my own sake. The current rulers are incompetent and corrupt, wrongly persecuting loyal officials, and my Chen Prince's Mansion has also been implicated. If I don't do this, my descendants will. Do you understand?"

Chao Lu's fists were clenched tightly, as if he were suppressing his emotions.

"Now, I have basically achieved my goals. My son is about to win a great victory in the Central Plains battle. I have found An'an on the grasslands and have no regrets. Next, there is one more thing I must do, which is to help your mother and your maternal grandfather's family clear their names."

Chao Lu slowly raised his head, a sharp, obscure glint in his eyes: "I should... thank the Prince."

Prince Chen: "There's no need for that. I'm helping you for my own selfish reasons. Now, your father Khan may no longer be able to support the Chaha tribe. This is your family matter, but it is also a matter of state. Now, only you can shoulder this great responsibility."

A great mission...

Take responsibility...

Chao Lu: "I'm feeling a bit suffocated by those two words."

Prince Chen laughed and said, "You're still young, that's normal."

"So, you're taking your mother to the Central Plains?"

Chao Lu asked this question.

King Chen lowered his eyes and did not respond.

After a long pause, he said, "That depends on your mother."

Hela immediately looked at Madam Qiu, who remained silent.

Suddenly, another series of hurried footsteps sounded from inside the tent—

Xu Chong ran out.

Chao Lu was startled, and then heard the other party immediately say, "Your Highness, Your Highness. When I was detoxifying the Khatun, I discovered that she had a hidden illness in her body, which is probably related to the illness she had when she was a child. The detoxification process is now halfway through and cannot be advanced. We need another medicinal guide this time!"

Chen Wangchao and Lu Jun were both greatly surprised.

"What kind of medicinal ingredient?!"

"The grass of the ninth floor in Chang'an".

Chao Lu was stunned.

"This herb only grows in Chang'an. If I remember correctly, it's in the backyard of the White Horse Temple. Also, although Your Highness's blood is your closest relative, the effect would be even better if the Crown Prince could donate his blood."

King Chen: "We are brothers from the same mother."

"They are... siblings from the same mother..."

Chaolu suddenly realized something, and his heart trembled.

"Can Yu Yu wake up now?"

"Your Highness, it's possible, but it will only provide temporary relief..."

Chao Lu looked at King Chen, and King Chen also looked at him.

Their eyes met, and Chaolu understood what he meant.

——

"Report!"

"Your Highness! The Kar tribe has suddenly launched an attack against us!"

The people inside the tent were greatly alarmed.

Karl?

"Your Highness, they must have learned about the Sixth Prince's affairs and are here to avenge the former leader!"

Chao Lu's fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

"That good-for-nothing Ge Teng? He's just taking advantage of the chaos to try and squeeze some benefits out of me! Does he think he can kick me while I'm down after the war between Chaha and Aohan is over? Dream on!"

Madam Qiu came out: "Chao Lu, go and take a look first."

Chao Lu gritted his teeth, then suddenly turned and left the tent.

Lady Qiu looked at Prince Chen and asked directly, "Are you going to take An'an away?"

King Chen looked at her and no longer tried to hide his feelings.

"yes."

“I owe her too much. The world is within the reach of my Chen family. I will give her the most honorable position of the eldest princess.”
