Chapter 331 Life-Taking Poison
"Miss, it's such a mess out there right now. They're all catching bandits. How dare I ask around?" Luo Kui shook her head quickly. She then asked, "If Miss Qiao really survived, then she's the Crown Prince's savior. Do you think she'd take advantage of this opportunity... to try to get into the Crown Prince's backyard?"
"What do you think?" Xiao Jiuyue was slowly waving a fan in her hand. In the hot summer, the wind at night is always hot, but today it is particularly hot and humid, and she is afraid that it is going to rain.
"I think..." Luo Kui thought for a long time, then shook his head and said, "I think it's a bit of a shame to use this life-saving grace to go to the backyard. That's the prince!"
"I think so." Lian Xin fanned Xiao Jiuyue. It was particularly hot and humid today. She said, "Just now when we were upstairs, I saw that Miss Qiao had a crush on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Really? Why was I only looking at Bai Miaojun? She could obviously have gone to block the arrow, but she just stood there in a daze. I think she must be afraid of death." Luo Kui was full of dislike for Bai Miaojun. As soon as she looked at Bai Miaojun, she felt that the Bai family really didn't care about their previous friendship at all.
The eldest aunt married far away in Mingzhou, but she still came all the way to Hongdu to see the old lady, sending her food and silver. This was completely different from the second aunt who didn't even show up in Shengjing.
"She is already a concubine, why bother taking risks again?" Lian Xin answered with her eyes lowered, thinking: Miss Bai San has always been a selfish person, and can't stand any hardship.
"But..." Luo Kui was about to say something, but Xiao Jiuyue continued, "I bet she must be regretting it right now."
…
Medical clinic.
Bai Miaoyun watched over Qiao Huilan as she cleaned and bandaged her wound. When she heard the doctor say that her life was not in danger and she just needed to take good care of herself, Bai Miaoyun looked at the unconscious Qiao Huilan with a complicated look.
"Your Majesty, how about I stay here and watch over you?" Zhu Hong brought forward a bowl of calming soup.
Bai Miaojun took a sip before saying, "No need. Miss Qiao is His Highness's savior. His Highness has things to do, so of course I have to protect his savior for him."
Bai Miaoyun patted Zhu Hong and said, "Today, move all the things here. I want to watch over it myself."
Zhu Hong was stunned for a moment. The Empress was not angry?
"Miaoyun, thank you for your hard work."
The voice of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came from behind. Zhu Hong hurriedly saluted and quietly retreated to prepare tea.
"Your Highness, have those bandits been caught?" Bai Miaoyun put down the calming soup and hurriedly stood up to greet him.
"Some bandits were captured, and others are being pursued."
The Crown Prince replied, looking at the unconscious Qiao Huilan on the bed. Before he could ask, Bai Miaoyun took the initiative to speak, "Don't worry, Your Highness. The doctor has bandaged the wound. Fortunately, the injury is not fatal. Miss Qiao just needs to rest well for a few days and she will be as good as before."
"Okay." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince felt relieved after hearing this.
"Your Highness, am I too useless to notice that bandit who wasn't quite dead yet?" Bai Miaoyun suddenly lowered her head, looking as if she'd made a mistake. "If I had found him, I would have stood before Your Highness without hesitation."
"Miaoyun, you don't have to blame yourself. I didn't notice it either." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince held her in his arms and said, "Take good care of Miss Qiao."
"Don't worry, Your Highness. Miss Qiao is my savior. I will take good care of her." Bai Miaoyun raised her head, her red eyes making her look pitiful.
"Just let Zhu Hong take care of you. You should also take a good rest." His Royal Highness raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "Be good."
After saying this, the prince left in a hurry. He had to go and check on his third brother. Those bandits were here to kill him, and the arrows were actually poisoned!
"Doctor, if you can't save my prince, then you don't need to open this clinic!" Lan Ying held a sword, looked at the doctor in the clinic angrily, and shouted loudly.
"Sir, the poison in His Majesty the Third Prince can be cured, but I don't have the medicine." The doctor in the clinic was about to cry. He had only seen the highest official in his life, the county magistrate, and had never seen a prince!
The doctor trembled and said, "This poison is unique to the Eighteen Villages. It's a life-threatening poison. It's not difficult to cure, but the herbs needed to detoxify it are rare. We need to use hundred-year-old ginseng, hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum... and supplement it with heart blood to detoxify it."
The doctor mentioned a bunch of precious medicinal herbs.
"If this poison is not cured within twelve hours, then..." The doctor didn't dare to say the word "death". The person lying in front of him was a prince, not an ordinary citizen.
"Come here, search all of Donglin County thoroughly. If you can't find the hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng, you will die!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said coldly. He quickly walked up to Jun Lie and said, "Don't worry, third brother. I will definitely find the antidote for you!"
"Zhongyan, take my token and go to the city to find medicine. You must find the medicine before dark tomorrow!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took off the token from his waist and handed it to his personal guard.
Zhongyan took the token and looked at the pale-faced and black-lipped Third Prince. He did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately rode his horse at full speed to the provincial capital!
Third Prince, you cannot die, at least not now!
…
"Oh no, Miss! Those bandits are out to kill the Crown Prince. The Third Prince's arrow wound is poisoned." Dong Gui came back breathlessly after getting the news, "They say it's the Eighteen Villages' deadly poison. If the poison can't be cured within twelve hours, the Third Prince... I'm afraid..."
Donggui didn't dare to say any of the unlucky words afterwards.
The fan in Xiao Jiuyue's hand almost fell to the ground. She stood up suddenly and asked, "Donggui, how can we cure this poison?" Fortunately, there were twelve hours to find the medicine.
"They say they want a hundred-year-old ginseng, a hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, some precious medicinal herbs, and heart blood." Dong Gui was asking about this with all her heart, and a hint of panic was in her eyes: "Could something really have happened to the Third Prince?"
The master is so powerful, how could a small arrow take the life of the Third Prince?
"What should we do? Miss, the Third Prince is a good person, how could he get into trouble?" Luo Kui was at a loss.
Xiao Jiuyue took a deep breath and said, "Don't panic. Your Highness the Third Prince is blessed by fate. Besides, he was shot for Your Highness the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince will definitely do his utmost to save Your Highness the Third Prince."
"What if, what if the Crown Prince wishes for the Third Prince..." Luo Kui was halfway through her words when Lian Xin covered her mouth. Lian Xin scolded her in a low voice, "Do you want to die? How dare you say anything?"
Luo Kui blinked her eyes, and her eyes seemed to say: Royal families have always been fickle-hearted. Who knows if the prince will do something ungrateful for the sake of his own status!
Xiao Jiuyue walked into the house, pushed the door open, looked at Hou Jian and said, "Antidote for the deadly poison."
