Chapter 73: One wave after another

The two of them snuggled together, chatting quietly, as if time had stood still.

Such rare tranquility is so precious.

Although Luo Xifeng felt extremely tormented and hot all over when facing the sweet and soft thing in his arms, he actually felt a little greedy for this different princess...

However, at this moment, he did not understand what he meant by this feeling.

"Princess, you..."

It was Miao Yun's hesitant voice. After struggling for a long time, she still felt that she had to inform Chu Yangyang of the news.

Luo Xifeng got up reluctantly, covered Chu Yangyang with a blanket, and then went to open the door. When Miao Yun saw him, she was stunned at first.

He was about to leave when Miao Yun stopped him.

"Lord Luo, please wait a moment."

He stopped and went back into the room. The door closed immediately when Miao Yun stepped in.

She is still a little afraid of cold and cannot be exposed to the wind.

Miao Yun quickly reported, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have come to the Prime Minister's Residence and are now waiting for the Princess and Lord Luo in the main hall."

Chu Yangyang sat up, covering herself with the quilt. "The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess? What do they want to see me for?"

Luo Xifeng frowned.

He is the prince's aide, but he has always been hiding behind the scenes. The prince and he have always had a tacit understanding that his identity cannot be revealed.

He came here rashly today, there must be something important.

Luo Xifeng said, "Princess, you take a rest first. I'll go take a look."

Miao Yun called out to him, "Lord Luo, the Crown Princess said she must see the Princess."

"Are they here to see me this time?" Chu Yangyang was puzzled.

"I'll go take a look first." Luo Xifeng turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait." Chu Yangyang was afraid that something might happen, so she propped herself up and said, "I feel better now. I'll go with you."

Luo Xifeng couldn't persuade her, so he could only help her go to the front hall.

Chu Yangyang came out from behind the screen, with medicine dripping from the ends of her hair.

Luo Xifeng covered her with the warm fox fur.

Crown Prince Li Rongjing sat upright in the main seat with a serious expression.

Crown Princess Bai Yingchun stood nearby, pacing back and forth.

She saw Chu Yangyang coming out wrapped in a cloak and immediately went to greet her, "Princess, are you sick?"

Chu Yangyang smiled slightly, "Greetings to His Royal Highness, Your Majesty. I've caught a cold these past two days and feel a bit chilly. It's nothing serious. Just take some medicine and rest."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yingchun said with concern, "Princess, take care of yourself."

Luo Xifeng stood behind Chu Yangyang and nodded slightly to the prince, who also nodded in return.

Then he sighed secretly.

Chu Yangyang noticed what was on their minds and asked directly, "Crown Princess, is there something urgent that brought you to see me today?"

As she spoke, Chu Yangyang helped the anxious Bai Yingchun to sit up high, and Miao Yun then handed her some tea.

Bai Yingchun took the teacup and spoke before taking a sip, "Rui'er has been feeling unwell for some reason lately. Later, the imperial physician came to see her and said she had a strange disease called narcolepsy. Now Rui'er feels sleepy all day and can't stay awake for long."

Chu Yangyang understood the general meaning, "You mean, the young prince is ill? Do you need Doctor Luo to come and see him?"

She didn't understand why the emperor's grandson was looking for her when he was sick.

She doesn't know any medical skills, so what does it have to do with her?

The Crown Princess gently stroked the edge of the teacup. "The Imperial Physician says there's only one thing that can cure all ailments. We might as well give it a try. It's called the Jade Blood Ganoderma. Your maternal grandfather once saved the emperor, and the late Emperor gifted him this. Now, the Emperor's grandson has been in a coma for three days, and the Imperial Physician says this is the only thing that might be able to cure him."

Chu Yangyang pulled her coat closer, and suddenly realized that he had something to ask of her.

She replied, "If I remember correctly, this item was placed in my Prime Minister's residence as a dowry two years ago. If Your Highness truly needs it, I will send someone to fetch it immediately."

Upon hearing Chu Yangyang's straightforward agreement, the Crown Princess quickly stood up and held her hands, "Thank you, Princess. We in the Eastern Palace will definitely remember your kindness."

Chu Yangyang shook her hand back and said with a smile, "Your Highness, your words are very kind. I am honored to have saved your life. You don't need to thank me."

"Someone, go to the warehouse and get the Green Blood Ganoderma Lucidum and give it to the Crown Princess." Chu Yangyang said to Miao Yun with his side face.

Luo Xifeng suddenly pressed her wrist and said, "Wait, I have a question."

Miao Yun stopped walking and everyone looked at Luo Xifeng.

He looked at the Crown Prince and bowed, then said, "I have heard of this disease, but I didn't know it could be cured with the Green Blood Ganoderma. Moreover, the Green Blood Ganoderma is very strong, and a three-year-old child might not be able to withstand its medicinal properties."

The prince put down his teacup, looking nervous, "Doctor Luo, are you questioning whether the Imperial Hospital is lying?"

"I'm not sure. I only believe in the pulse." Luo Xifeng bowed to Li Rongjing and said, "If Your Highness agrees, I'm willing to take your pulse."

Crown Prince Li Rongjing and Crown Princess Bai Yingchun exchanged a glance and nodded. Li Rongjing said, "Then we'll have Imperial Physician Luo Luo to look after us."

"I'll go with you." Chu Yangyang followed Luo Xifeng. The matter of the emperor's grandson could be a big or small matter, and she had a bad feeling.

Luo Xifeng wanted to refuse, but after seeing her shake her head slightly, he nodded and said, "Well, if you feel uncomfortable, tell me in time."

Soon, the two of them arrived at the East Palace in the carriage of the Crown Prince and Crown Princess.

The emperor's grandson's bedroom was filled with the stench of medicine. A three-year-old child curled up in a pile of brocade, his face pale.

Chu Yangyang frowned as soon as she stepped into the palace.

Luo Xifeng placed his fingertips on the emperor's grandson's delicate wrist. He lifted the child's clothes, and three cinnabar-like red dots suddenly appeared on his heart.

It is almost invisible and if you don't look closely, you might think it is just a small mole.

Luo Xifeng clasped the child's delicate wrist with three fingers and opened his eyelids. "Your Highness' pupils are dilated and the nail beds are cyanotic. This is not narcolepsy."

Crown Princess Bai Yingchun dropped the handkerchief in her hand. "Doctor Luo, what are you talking about? If it's not narcolepsy, then what is it?"

"The little prince has been poisoned."

Luo Xifeng pierced the emperor's grandson's finger with a silver needle, and the blood that emerged was glowing with a strange blue light. "This poison manifests when exposed to heat. Your Highness, please take a look."

He dripped the blood into the charcoal basin, and the rising green smoke was wrapped in a fishy and sweet smell.

Li Rongjing suddenly grabbed the corner of the table and asked, "What kind of poison has Rui'er been poisoned by?"

He inserted a silver needle into the crack of the emperor's grandson's fingernail, and the tip of the needle glowed with an eerie blue light. "This poison looks like the venom of a snake vine from the Western Frontier. When it encounters heat, it slowly enters the brain. The initial symptom is just drowsiness, followed by unconsciousness, and then death in the sleep."

Bai Yingchun grabbed Li Rongjing's arm and said, "Your Highness, how could Rui'er touch such filthy things!"

Luo Xifeng looked around. "Snake vine pollen needs to be mixed with marigolds to be effective. Has the imperial grandson's courtyard transplanted any tribute chrysanthemums from Xinjiang recently?"

The prince suddenly remembered something, "Half a month ago, the Crown Princess's Palace did transplant tribute chrysanthemums from Xinjiang."

"Your Highness!" Bai Yingchun looked at Li Rongjing in disbelief, tears filling her eyes instantly, and she felt a surge of grievance. "Your Highness, are you... doubting me?"
