Japan
Xuanyuan Chen was discussing the next steps in attacking the city with several lieutenants when suddenly everything went black, and he clutched his chest.
He suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"puff!"
"The Fourth Prince!"
Everyone was terrified.
Xuanyuan Chen collapsed without warning.
The imperial physician arrived quickly to take Xuan Yuan Chen's pulse. Upon examining the pulse, his expression changed slightly: "This is a sign of poisoning. The Fourth Prince has been poisoned!"
How could this happen?
Xuanyuan Chen slowly woke up and suddenly felt a dull pain in his right shoulder. He raised his eyelids and pointed to his shoulder. Upon seeing this, the imperial physician tore his clothes to reveal the gauze on his shoulder. After peeling it off, black pus and blood were clearly visible inside.
"This..." The imperial physician was astonished: "I have clearly examined the wounds; the assassin's swords were not poisoned, and the wounds were also not poisoned. How could this be?"
Xuanyuan Chen felt the wound on his shoulder getting more and more painful. Fine beads of sweat seeped from his fair forehead. He gritted his teeth and said, "It's the Southern Frontier! Damn it, how dare they scheme against me."
He was furious.
If it weren't for the Second Prince of Southern Xinjiang sending people to attack him, how could he have fallen victim to this attack?
At this moment, a guard entered carrying a letter: "The Fourth Prince has sent a letter."
Xuanyuan Chen frowned, took the letter and glanced at it. It clearly stated that the Heavenly Silkworm Gu poison could only be relieved by the use of heart's blood as medicine. Otherwise, the pain would be unbearable, and more than three times would result in death from the agony. If he wanted heart's blood, he needed to borrow 100,000 troops.
A small bottle was also delivered along with it.
The bottle was opened and was immediately filled with the pungent smell of blood.
After reading the letter, Xuan Yuan Chen was so angry that he wanted to curse and almost smashed the bottle. Fortunately, the imperial physician caught it in time, sniffed it, and said, "It smells like the Lotus of Step by Step."
What is meant by "Step by Step Lotus"?
"This is an extremely rare medicinal herb. The person who took this heart's blood must have consumed the Step-by-Step Sacred Lotus."
Xuan Yuan Chen forced himself to speak: "You mean my injury can only be healed with this person's heart's blood?"
The imperial physician's lips trembled, and he didn't know how to respond for a moment.
"Waaah!"
A wave of pain washed over him, and the veins on Xuan Yuan Chen's forehead bulged. He gritted his teeth so hard he almost fainted from the pain, feeling as if a thousand arrows were piercing his heart, burning intensely.
After enduring the pain for a while, I fainted from the pain.
The imperial physician gritted his teeth; now he had no choice but to try anything, so he took a deep breath and began to brew the medicine.
Half an hour later
When Xuanyuan Chen woke up, the pain in his body had disappeared, but there was still a bloody taste in his mouth. His face was gloomy. The imperial physician said, "Fourth Prince, this blood is indeed the medicine to save you, and it has a miraculous effect."
Xuanyuan Chen remained silent with a blank expression. He picked up the letter and gritted his teeth angrily: "Fine, fine, Gong Xuan! How dare you scheme against me like this."
The handwriting was indeed that of the Second Prince Gong Xuan, and he didn't try to hide it at all.
Did they time it so that he would have to agree?
hateful!
"Guards!" Xuan Yuan Chen ordered, "Send men to infiltrate Northern Chu and bring back the Second Prince of Southern Xinjiang alive. There must be no mistakes."
"yes."
Xuanyuan Chen touched his chest, hesitated for a long time, but still wrote a letter to the Emperor of Dongying, telling him everything. He also stated that if one day the Emperor of Dongying did not need to care about him, Dongying was more important, and he would die without regret.
After sending the letter, Xuan Yuan Chen leaned weakly against the couch.
Two days later
The Emperor of Dongying was furious when he saw the letter. At this moment, a young eunuch stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I heard from the imperial physician a couple of days ago that Consort Ning has the Lotus of the Step-by-Step Saint protected in her body. Otherwise, such a strong dose of the Aphrodisiac Powder would have killed Consort Ning long ago."
"Really?" the Japanese emperor asked in surprise.
The young eunuch nodded.
The Emperor of Japan got up and walked out.
Linghu Ning had already woken up. She opened her innocent eyes and listened to the palace maid's words with a puzzled look: "Falling off a cliff... Your Highness, you are really lucky to be alive."
Linghu Ning stared blankly at the little palace maid, then nodded thoughtfully. A ray of sunlight refracted through the window and shone softly on her face, casting a halo around it. She blinked and smiled brightly: "The Emperor is such a kind person, he actually risked his life to save me."
"Yes, His Majesty is a good man."
The conversation between the two people inside the room reached my ears word for word.
The Emperor of Japan hesitated to lift his foot, squinting at the girl on the couch. He turned around, walked a few steps away, and summoned the imperial physician: "Has Consort Ning truly forgotten everything?"
The imperial physician nodded: "I have examined her. Consort Ning's blood is flowing backward, especially there is a large area of blood stasis in her brain. It is fortunate that she has woken up this time. This blood stasis may recur at any time. At that time, even if a great immortal came, it would be difficult to reverse the situation."
"You mean Consort Ning could die at any moment?"
The imperial physician nodded, trembling.
The Emperor of Japan's face turned extremely gloomy, and he suddenly regretted giving too much aphrodisiac that day in a fit of anger.
"emperor?!"
A charming and lovely voice reached my ears.
The Emperor of Dongying turned around and saw Linghu Ning, dressed in a light green robe, walking out with the help of palace maids, her eyes sparkling as she stared at him.
Those eyes held no stubbornness or arrogance, only surprise and anticipation.
His expression softened slightly as he walked towards Linghu Ning: "Why aren't you taking better care of yourself?"
Linghu Ning stumbled a few steps, opened her arms and rushed towards the Emperor of Dongying, throwing herself into his arms and nuzzling him with her little head: "Your Majesty, I was feeling really stuffy, I came out for some fresh air, it's alright."
The Emperor of Japan froze, looking down at the woman in his arms with disbelief. She had a faint medicinal scent that made people unconsciously relax.
He reached out and helped Linghu Ning up. Looking into her dark eyes, which were full of innocence, he subconsciously softened.
