Two people lying side by side

Chapter 84: Two people lying side by side

Jin Jiu was the first person to notice that something was wrong with the prince.

"Your Majesty!"

Eleven jumped off the horse and served as a human cushion for the prince.

Jin Jiu quickly helped the prince up and subconsciously wanted to hug him, but then he slapped himself on the forehead. He was so confused that he didn't think he could hug the prince.

Besides, he didn't know how serious the prince's injuries were, and he didn't know if the injuries would be pressed on his back. After thinking for a moment, he waved his hand and asked the two men to pick up the prince and carry him away!

Qin Feng was extremely anxious. When he was still five meters away from Chu Huaibei, he tightened the reins and stopped the horse forcibly. He then used his lightness skills to fly directly from the horse's back to Chu Huaibei.

He first probed her nose with his finger, and only breathed a sigh of relief when the warm breath gently fanned his fingertips.

"General Qin, I will take the prince back to the palace for treatment. You are still needed to clean up the battlefield. I will take my leave first."

After Jin Jiu finished speaking, he called for people to rush to the palace.

"Okay, when the prince wakes up, let her rest assured. I will take care of the rest."

Qin Feng saw Jin Jiu nod at him and walked into the city without stopping.

They saw Xue Zhan coming over from afar and told him that the prince was injured and needed to go back to the palace for treatment first, and that the two of them needed to be responsible for cleaning up the battlefield.

Xue Zhan looked at the figure who had escorted the prince into the city, and he was also very worried.

The Mongols had just withdrawn their troops, and there were many things to deal with, so they had to suppress their worries and deal with post-war matters.

"Hurry, the prince is injured!"

Before Jin Jiu arrived at the palace gate, he began to greet the palace guards from afar.

The two palace guards looked closely and saw that the prince was actually carried back. They were shocked as this had not happened for many years. One of them immediately went into the inner courtyard to report.

When Sun Mingsi heard the news that the prince was injured and was carried back, the blood instantly drained from his face and turned pale.

He stood up and walked quickly towards the door.

"Be gentle and carry it to the dormitory quickly."

After seeing the person with my own eyes, my heart, which had been hanging in the air, felt relieved a little. After all, the person was safe and sound.

Deng Ran received a notification from the palace guards and was already waiting at the dormitory door with two large medical boxes.

Seeing that the person was still intact, he breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as he moved the person to lie on the bed, Chu Huaibei turned his head and vomited a mouthful of black blood.

Sun Mingsi was so frightened that he was about to fall. Seeing that his master was obviously in a bad state, Jin Jiu hurriedly helped him sit on a small couch beside him.

"Master, are you okay?"

Sun Mingsi tried to calm down before asking questions.

"How did Huaibei get injured?"

"My Lord, I was injured in a fight with the fierce Mongolian general Na Hai. The prince risked his own injury to kill Na Hai with a single shot."

"I see."

"Master, I am willing to accept the punishment for my failure in duty."

Jin Jiu and others knelt on the ground and apologized.

"It's not your fault, don't blame yourself."

"Take your men back to the battlefield and keep an eye on them. If anyone shows any signs of disloyalty, kill them immediately."

"Also, check on Jin Hongye's condition. I've sent Fourteen and Fifteen to guard him. If he's seriously injured, bring him to the palace for treatment."

"Yes, Master. I understand. I will return to the battlefield immediately."

"Well, go ahead."

While they were talking, Deng Ran gave Chu Huaibei three injections to wake him up.

"Uncle Deng, I'm going to trouble you again."

"Not bad, he still knows people and his brain hasn't been damaged by anyone."

Deng Ran said he was disgusted, but his hands were moving quickly.

He first felt his limbs and found no broken bones, so he was fine. Then he untied the armor on his chest, which had a large dent, and checked the injury.

Seeing that he was wearing a piece of golden armor underneath his shorts, the severity of his injuries became clearer.

I touched the two rows of ribs on my chest and they were not broken.

"Don't be expressionless. Let me feel your ribs to see if they hurt. Tell me the details."

Deng Ran was puzzled by her behavior. She only remembered that someone at home might be worried after she had finished her work, so she acted like a dead person.

"Oh, it hurts a little when I press on the bone, but I don't think it's broken."

"Well, the bones are not broken, but five ribs in the right chest are cracked."

Chu Huaibei shut his mouth when he heard that.

"It's okay. The most serious injuries are internal. Some of your internal organs were damaged. You spit out that mouthful of black blood just now, but it was also timely. This injury is much less serious than the one you were shot with an arrow five years ago."

As Deng Ran spoke, he took out a set of golden needles from the medicine box. He moved quickly and accurately. In just a few breaths, Chu Huaibei was pricked like a hedgehog.

"Yeah, I think so too!"

Chu Huaibei turned his head and looked at Sun Mingsi.

"Huzhi, I'm fine, don't worry!"

"Huzhi, you also come and feel the prince's pulse. This is a rare opportunity. You usually practice with rabbits."

Deng Ran looked at his apprentice's pale face and felt distressed, so he tried to comfort him.

"Be careful!"

Aunt Wen supported the concubine and walked quickly into the bedroom.

"Mom, I'm fine. I'm doing fine. I just have some internal injuries. Uncle Deng said I'll be fine soon if I take care of myself!"

The concubine turned her gaze to Deng Ran.

"Don't worry, Toffee. The situation is much better than it was five years ago."

"Okay, okay, that's good. I feel relieved."

The concubine put down her anxious heart and felt much more at ease. When she heard the palace guards report that the prince was injured and carried back, God knows how much she feared that he would be injured and on the verge of death like he was five years ago.

Turning around, he saw Hu Zhi's red eyes, so he raised his hand and patted his shoulder.

"It's okay, Shenzhi has always been in good health."

After comforting her, he took Aunt Wen back to his own yard.

Let young people solve their own problems.

Sun Mingsi looked straight at Chu Huaibei and just stood up and took a step forward.

"puff--"

A mouthful of black blood suddenly spurted out of his mouth.

"Huzhi!!!"

"Dad! Dad! Hengheng is here. How is my dad's injury, Grandpa Deng?"

"mother!!!"

When Hengheng heard that his father was injured and unconscious, he immediately ran over from Lancaoyuan. As soon as he entered the house, he saw his mother vomiting blood and falling to the ground. He was so scared that his voice was split when he shouted "Mom".

Chu Huaibei struggled to get up, but was held down by Deng Ran.

"Don't move! If the golden needle breaks inside, even the immortals can't save you!"

"Hengheng, come here and help me get your mother onto the bed!"

Hengheng, who was kneeling on the ground at a loss, heard Deng Ran's order and immediately helped Sun Mingsi up. Together with Deng Ran, they moved the man to lie flat on the bed.

The longer Deng Ran took the pulse, the deeper the frown on his gray brows became.

Chu Huaibei and Hengheng looked at Deng Ran's expression and became more and more frightened.

According to Uncle Deng/Grandpa Deng's medical skills, the longer the pulse diagnosis takes, the more complicated and difficult the condition is to treat.

"Fortunately, there's still hope. I'll go make the medicine now. Hengheng, you stay with your parents."

"Okay, I'll stay here and not go anywhere."

Hengheng experienced the blow of both his parents being injured in succession in one day, and he was extremely nervous.

The scene of my grandmother secretly wiping away tears as my father lay in bed, not knowing whether he was alive or dead, is still vivid in my mind.

Deng Ran dug out some special medicinal herbs that had been preserved thirty years ago, and skillfully prepared and boiled the medicine.

Fortunately, he saved the remaining medicinal herbs, otherwise his disciple’s life would be in danger today.

It was also his own fault for being blind. He had taken his disciple's frail appearance as the result of his upbringing in a wealthy family. After all, his demeanor and bearing were quite intimidating, so he had never thought of taking his disciple's pulse.

Deng Ran felt a mixture of self-blame and enlightenment. Half an hour later, when he saw that the medicine was almost done, he gathered his wandering thoughts, brought the medicine in and fed it to the person.

"Grandpa Deng, when will my mother wake up?"

Hengheng grabbed his mother's hand, his eyes still filled with fear, and asked in a low voice.

"I'm not sure about this. Your mother is seriously poisoned. You should stay in the house and rest tonight."

While answering Hengheng's questions, Deng Ran pulled out the golden needles from Chu Huaibei's body.

After pulling out the last golden needle from Chu Huaibei's body, the man immediately turned over and got out of bed.

"Come back! You little bastard, don't try to kill yourself!"

Chu Huaibei picked up Sun Mingsi and placed him on the inside of the bed. He then lay down on the outside and grinned at Deng Ran.

"Uncle Deng, I'm ready to lie down. The couch is not comfortable. I'll find another place for Hu Zhi to lie down."

"Humph, you're more troublesome than your father. Behave yourself and I'll make some medicine for you."

"Hey, under Uncle Deng's watchful eyes, when has Huaibei ever failed to obey you?"

Deng Ran rolled his eyes at Chu Huaibei and went out to boil the medicine. The longer he delayed, the more serious the injury to his internal organs would be. He really owed this brat.

"Hengheng, come and sit next to Dad. You sleep on the bed tonight and watch over us."

"Dad, Mom will be okay, right?"

Hengheng grabbed Chu Huaibei's strong forearms with both hands, rested his forehead on them, and spoke in a muffled voice.

"It will be fine. Your Grandpa Deng said there is hope and we will definitely be able to come back."

A warm and wet feeling came from her forearm, slowly soaking her underwear.

Hengheng hasn't cried for a long time, since he grew up to understand things.

He touched his son's head with his other hand. He was indeed scared today.

After drinking the medicine brought by Deng Ran, his handsome face wrinkled with bitterness. Chu Huaibei had reason to suspect that Uncle Deng did it on purpose.

Deng Ran did it on purpose. He even put some sleeping aids in her medicine. She would fall asleep in less than a cup of tea after drinking it.

Then he turned and went to the Toffee's backyard.

"Teacher, Hu has been poisoned and is unconscious."

The concubine turned around in surprise and almost broke the teacup in her hand. Aunt Wen quickly grabbed a handful.

"What did you say!?"

"He was poisoned by the same poison you and the old prince were poisoned by."

"What's going on?"

The surprise in the toffee's eyes was replaced by deep thought.

Deng Ran recounted what happened after the concubine left.

"But we can't say they're exactly the same. He was born with this poison, so it's a bit milder than yours. He's been suppressing it with medication before, but perhaps his emotions were too volatile today, and he hasn't taken his medicine for this month yet, so the poison has suddenly been activated."

"You have guessed a little about Hu Zhi's identity, Concubine Dowager, right?"

"It was just speculation at first, but now it seems to be true."

"This poison is only available in the palace."

"Yes, only in the palace."

The room fell silent for a while because of these two sentences.

"Can the child's poison be cured?"

"Don't worry, Toffee. It can be solved. Fortunately, it is discovered now. If it is discovered a year later, I will be unable to do anything."

"Okay, that's great!"

The concubine was sincerely happy for Sun Mingsi. She knew that this child was a poor person.

"My Lady Concubine, after Hu Zhi wakes up, you won't be able to keep the secrets from Huaibei anymore. She's very attentive and will be able to guess everything."

Deng Ran was able to quickly find the medicine to detoxify, which meant that someone in the palace had been poisoned by this poison. Chu Huaibei would of course ask about it.

"Forget it. When she asks, I will tell her everything."

The concubine always felt that once Shen Zhi knew the inside story, some things would change drastically.

Hengheng didn't sleep much that night. He didn't lie on the bed, but sat beside his parents' bed to rest.

He was startled when his father's hand that was touching his head suddenly slipped away. After looking carefully, he found that he had fallen asleep. Grandpa Deng must have added something to the medicine, but his father really needed a good rest now.

After that, he looked at his mother every half an hour, and repeated this until dawn, but his mother still did not wake up.
