Chapter 54: The Prince Consort's Prisoner (54)



At this moment, Ning Wan started coughing again, and the blood in his mouth uncontrollably came out from the corners of his mouth.

Xiaoju, who was standing by, reacted instantly. She leaned forward, picked up the handkerchief, and wiped the blood from the corner of Ning Wan's mouth with trembling hands.

Ning Mu instinctively took a step forward and quickly quickened his pace.

Looking at Ning Wan, whose face showed no sign of pain, lying on the bed, Ning Mu frowned again.

My sister is very afraid of pain, so how come she doesn't even have an expression of pain?

Not long after, three more imperial doctors rushed over.

Seeing the experienced Doctor Li kneeling beside them with his head lowered, the three doctors exchanged quick glances.

They both saw something bad in each other's eyes.

"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you come over and show it to the princess?"

Ning Mu looked at the three people standing there like wooden stakes and spoke unhappily.

Doctor Zhao was the first to react. He stepped forward without saying anything. After preparing everything, he began to take the patient's pulse.

He had just placed his finger on Ning Wan's pulse when his expression changed in just a moment.

Doctor Zhao looked cautiously at Doctor Li who was kneeling beside him, but Doctor Li had his head lowered and did not receive Doctor Zhao's signal at all.

Ning Mu, who was already angry, stepped forward and kicked Doctor Zhao away. He then pointed at the other two doctors and said unhappily:

"If you don't know, get out of here. Come here and show me how many useless people the Imperial Hospital has nurtured!"

Ning Mu spoke in a bad tone.

Doctor Zhao also rolled to the side of Doctor Li as quickly as possible, with his mouth tightly closed, for fear that he would say something harmful.

Imperial Physician Sun and the remaining Imperial Physician Zhou shuddered as they looked at Imperial Physician Zhao who had been kicked aside by Ning Mu.

He looked at Ning Wan lying on the bed, and cold sweat began to appear on his forehead.

Ning Mu's cold eyes made them dare not escape in the face of danger, and without any order, they went up together.

Doctor Sun took the pulse first, and then his hand trembled. He subconsciously looked up at Doctor Zhou beside him. Doctor Zhou understood something instantly, and then took the pulse as well. He then looked at Ning Wan lying on the bed, and finally looked at Ning Mu, and knelt on the ground with a dead heart.

Seeing that the four imperial doctors all had the same attitude, Xiaoju collapsed on the ground, looking at the still unconscious Ning Wan: "Imperial Doctor, what's wrong with the princess..."

The four imperial doctors raised their heads and exchanged glances. Noticing Ning Mu's increasingly murderous gaze, they steeled themselves and said in unison, "Poisoned!"

"Impossible!" Before Ning Mu could ask more questions, Xiaoju spoke first.

"I have always been very careful with the princess's food. How could she be poisoned?" Although Xiaoju had the answer in her mind, she still couldn't believe it.

After hearing Xiaoju's question, Ning Mu just looked at her coldly, then looked at the four doctors kneeling on the ground: "Can you tell when the poison was administered?"

Ning Mu's hands tightened again.

This time, Doctor Li stepped forward and said, "This poison has probably been there for more than two months."

Doctor Li's expression froze as he spoke. "The initial symptoms of this poison are drowsiness and dry mouth, with no other discomfort. But once the disease takes hold, you'll start coughing up blood. By then, all your internal organs have been damaged by the drug... There's no cure."

At the end, Doctor Li paused, calmed down, and told the truth.

After hearing the answer, Ning Mu suddenly sneered: "You guys are really good. I raised you for so long, and in return you said that there is no cure?"

The four imperial doctors kneeling on the ground knew that they could not escape this time, so they just kept their heads down and did not dare to refute at all.

Xiao Ju was stunned when she heard the phrase "medicine is useless and cannot cure disease." "How could it be possible? Her Highness is such a good person, how could she be incurable and cannot cure disease?"

"You must have seen it wrong. Yes, you must have seen it wrong." Xiaoju looked at the four people who were kneeling on the ground and dared not speak, and said again.

Xiaoju's words also reminded Ning Mu. Ning Mu looked at the four losers kneeling on the ground and asked, "How long will it take?"

"Just over a month." Doctor Li whispered, lowering his body a little further.

Ning Mu staggered after getting the answer, but without wasting any more time, he quickly ordered his men to start posting notices to find people with superb medical skills.

Then he walked forward and held Ning Wan's hand, and pulled the quilt over her to cover her.

When Ning Wan woke up again, it was already late.

Looking at the dark sky outside, he suddenly sat up as if he thought of something.

"Xiao Qi, what's wrong with me?" Ning Wan coughed, thinking of the blood she coughed up not long ago, and suddenly found that she didn't feel any pain. A strange feeling arose in her heart, and she asked Xiao Qi nervously.

"The host is probably dying." Xiao Qi said bluntly, watching Ning Wan's rapidly declining health.

Ning Wan didn't expect Xiao Qi to give her such a direct answer, but she didn't feel any obvious sensation in her body. How could she die so easily?

Ning Wan: "Xiao Qi, I'm not kidding!"

[Host, after completing the main quest, the only remaining quest is the "suicidal quest." However, within the current plane, the host's "suicidal quest" has already been completed, so the system will choose a reasonable method to allow the host to leave.]

[In order to prevent the host from feeling pain before leaving, the system will block the host's pain.]

Xiao Qi checked the data and explained nervously, but he knew very well that this poison was not arranged by the system, but was the poison that had been given to the original owner before.

Because the early symptoms of this poison are not very obvious and cannot be easily discovered, once discovered, it is fatal.

After getting the answer, Ning Wan thought about Xiao Qi's previous behavior and asked with gritted teeth, "Didn't we agree that I could choose to stay or leave?"

She was thinking about enjoying the benefits of being a princess, but ended up being forced offline.

Xiao Qi naturally heard Ning Wan's dissatisfaction and had to explain: [It is indeed a choice, provided that the host can survive.]

This is not something that a single system can influence.

Ning Wan: ...

"When can I leave? I won't keep coughing up blood until I die, will I?" Ning Wan had to ask clearly this time, fearing that she would be tricked by Xiao Qi again.
