Chapter 11: Chopping People While Vomiting Blood
Lu Wanning from Yunque Pavilion knew about it, and Old Liu had heard of it even more. It was said that he was an old man who was almost obsessed with medicine, and had painstakingly studied all kinds of strange diseases. The palace had invited him to go to the Imperial Hospital, but Old Liu felt that the palace was too restrictive and declined.
It is said that Prince Qi's health was taken care of by this old man Liu.
The maid's voice came from outside, and Lu Wanning withdrew her thoughts.
Aunt An's maid came in and said, "Madam said that Miss Lu would be in a mess without servants, so she sent over a group of maids and told Miss Lu to choose a few herself."
Lu Wanning lowered her eyelashes and nodded, "Let them in, I'll take a look."
A row of maids stood in a row in the room, each one more beautiful than the other.
Aunt An's face looked unhappy, but Lu Wanning curled the corners of her lips.
This wasn't about sending her a servant to use, it was clearly about planting spies around her and causing her some unhappiness.
He randomly pointed at two people to stay and sent them to the yard outside to help Aunt An's maid clean up.
After they left, Aunt An came over mysteriously, "Madam's intentions are obvious. When we get to Prince Qi's mansion, you must keep an eye on these two maids. Prince Qi's body is so weak, how could he tolerate such torture?"
Lu Wanning burst out laughing.
Seeing her smile, Aunt An immediately glared at her.
"But then again, I heard that Prince Qi led his men to suppress the bandits today. If you ask me, those bandits have harmed so many people, they should have been eliminated long ago. But Prince Qi is so frail, how can he afford to fight and kill?"
Are you delicate and frail?
Lu Wanning chuckled in her heart, and the scene of several arrows being fired at the same time last night flashed through her mind. She thought that this Prince Qi was completely different from what was rumored by the outside world.
But judging by the scene of this man vomiting blood yesterday, he wouldn't be spitting blood and chopping people at the same time when he went to suppress the bandits, right?
Lu Wanning found it hard to imagine that kind of scene.
But Qi Muchao didn't let her imagine for too long. The next day, when Old Liu came to change her medicine, this man also came.
The wound on her leg was too hideous, so Lu Wanning researched a scar removal recipe for herself last night and planned to make some ointment to apply on the wound after it scabs over.
After changing the medicine, Mr. Liu left with the small medicine box, and Qi Muchao walked in.
The man was still dressed in jade-white clothes, and the scratches on his cheeks had almost disappeared over the years, leaving only faint marks.
Lu Wanning felt inexplicably guilty.
She cleared her throat and said, "I heard that the prince went to suppress the bandits yesterday. Is he okay?"
Qi Muchao stared at her for a moment, then walked towards the bedside. Just as he was about to speak, the two maids sent by Madam Chen walked in with great tactlessness. Hongling looked shy and said, "This servant will pour tea for His Highness the Crown Prince."
Luluo walked to Qi Muchao with a fan in her hand and said, "The weather is too hot. I will fan His Highness the Crown Prince."
Lu Wanning almost laughed out loud.
Glancing at her, Qi Muchao said expressionlessly, "Get out."
The two maids walked out reluctantly. Qi Mu looked at her leisurely, "Miss Lu seems to be in a good mood."
Lu Wanning smiled and said, "That was carefully selected by Madam Chen for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Unlike the day before when she avoided him, Lu Wanning looked at him with a much calmer gaze today.
Although saving Princess Qi was just a coincidence, it has to be said that it is indeed a life-saving straw for her now.
It also gave her the qualifications to negotiate with Qi Muchao.
Hearing Qi Muchao's light cough, Lu Wanning sat up, and the pain made her frown slightly.
His gaze shifted to Qi Muchao, and he extended his hand toward him. "Can I take the prince's pulse?"
Qi Muchao raised an eyebrow, thinking of the secret guard's report that she had entered Huichun Hall, and the wound on her mother's face that had been treated yesterday, so she put her wrist in front of Lu Wanning.
After taking the pulse, Lu Wanning withdrew her hand and raised her eyes, "I want to make a deal with the prince."
"explain."
"The prince's symptoms are not a congenital condition caused by premature birth, but rather a toxin that has existed since he was in the womb and has accumulated over the years. This toxin is now very difficult to cure. I can help the prince regulate his body and alleviate his pain. If he is properly regulated, he may not be unable to live a long life."
Lu Wanning knew that Old Liu was Qi Muchao's man, but the categories these doctors were proficient in were completely different.
Mr. Liu likes to study difficult and complicated diseases, but he has not studied various poisons thoroughly enough. Coincidentally, Lu Wanning's cheap master has studied poisons most thoroughly.
So much so that when Lu Wanning took Qi Muchao to help her relieve the effects of the medicine that day, she had a general understanding of the physical condition of Master Qi the moment she took his pulse.
Qi Muchao narrowed his eyes, and in just a moment, his tiger's mouth clamped Lu Wanning's neck.
The beautiful lips opened and closed, but the words that came out were very cold, "Do you know what you are saying?"
Almost in an instant, Lu Wanning grabbed his wrist and lay back. The two of them hugged each other on the bed like a loving couple, but in fact, there were temptations and murderous intentions everywhere.
Lu Wanning's other hand reached for the dagger under the pillow, her face flushed, but she kept staring at Qi Muchao. "Not only was the princess poisoned when she was pregnant with the prince, but even now, His Highness is still taking this chronic poison. If I wasn't about to marry into the prince's mansion and become his wife, I would definitely not care about such trivial matters."
"Now that you are questioning the truth of my words, you might as well investigate who was able to make you take poison without your knowledge for so many years."
That stubborn look made Qi Muchao gradually let go of his hand.
He knew that what Lu Wanning said might be true.
But Mr. Liu had been treating him for so many years, how could he not see that he was poisoned?
Covering her throat and coughing a few times, Lu Wanning cursed Qi Muchao in her heart, saying that he was so weak but still had so much strength.
Considering that he was still alive after being plotted against for so many years, Lu Wanning didn't bother with him.
"Miss Lu, you don't expect me to believe you with just these few words, do you?"
"Of course." Lu Wanning put the dagger in her hand back behind the pillow the moment he let go, but she was not stupid enough to put all her chips in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
He only said, "I have said everything I need to say. If you are willing to trust me, I will check all your diet after we get married. It won't be long before your health improves."
Lu Wanning didn't expect the Crown Prince to trust her so quickly, just as she was hiding something at the moment.
"What do you want?" Since Qi Muchao had checked Lu Wanning thoroughly, he naturally knew that her mother was a doctor, but this did not mean that her medical skills were better than those of Old Liu.
But this is not important. Compared to the truth in her words, he is more curious about what this person wants from him.
"Husband and wife are one. The prince and I are about to get married, and we will be a family in the future. Naturally, I hope that the prince can live a long life..."
Halfway through the conversation, Lu Wanning forgot some of the words.
