Chapter 487 High Hopes
Upon hearing this, Emperor Tianyuan glanced at the Queen and played with the ring in his hand.
"I know the truth behind this, but Queen, if the Crown Prince doesn't have that disease, this is just a rumor. A rumor alone can't seriously harm the Crown Prince of Tianyuan."
The Queen immediately understood what was happening. If the Crown Prince really had that disease, this would be the most serious. Thinking of what Doctor Hu had just said, the Queen felt very uneasy. She and the Crown Prince had been so cautious over the years, could it be that they had finally been tricked?
"Your Majesty, you saw what the Crown Prince did just now. He truly is unaware of the situation. If he really gets... Your Majesty, I'm afraid someone will want to harm him and our child. Your Majesty, Xu'er is our first child and our only son. Your Majesty once said that he would protect us both for the rest of his life."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Tianyuan glanced at the Empress helplessly. This situation was indeed developing too quickly. Who on earth would target the Crown Prince? And use such despicable means?
"Okay, stop crying. Let's wait for Doctor Hu's diagnosis. I hope it's a misdiagnosis."
Upon hearing this, the queen had no choice but to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"yes."
But he was thinking quickly in his mind, who on earth could be so bold as to set such a cruel trap for the prince?
In the side hall, Jun Moxu took off his trousers with a dark face, turned his face to the side, and Doctor Hu checked him.
"Your Highness, please, that's all."
Jun Moxu spoke hurriedly.
"Doctor Hu, you just misdiagnosed me, right? How could I possibly have that kind of disease?"
Upon hearing this, Doctor Hu had no choice but to speak.
"Your Highness, I made the correct diagnosis."
Upon hearing this, Jun Moxu looked at Doctor Hu with his eyes narrowed, with a hint of danger in his eyes.
"Doctor Hu, as an elder in the palace, you understand best. There are things Doctor Hu should say, but there are also things he shouldn't say. I am the crown prince of Tianyuan. Doctor Hu, you will tell my father that you made a mistake in your diagnosis and resigned. I can ensure that your family will be prosperous and wealthy, but if you say anything you shouldn't say, Doctor Hu, you must always think about your family."
Doctor Hu's face was full of bitterness when he heard this.
"Your Highness, I am only the Imperial Physician who diagnoses the Emperor's pulse and regulates his health. I am loyal only to the Emperor. Please do not embarrass me. Moreover, I have known the Emperor's health condition very well over the years. If I were to resign at this time, I would be uneasy."
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Jun Moxu's eyes when he heard this.
"It seems that Doctor Hu is not willing to accept my offer and will have to drink the wine for punishment. I have underestimated Doctor Hu."
Upon hearing this, Doctor Hu had no choice but to bow.
"Your Highness, I will go and report to the Emperor first."
He didn't care about etiquette and hurried out.
Seeing that Doctor Hu was walking towards him with faster steps, Emperor Tianyuan narrowed his eyes. It seemed that the result was already out.
The queen stood up anxiously.
"Doctor Hu, what is the condition of the prince?"
Doctor Hu looked at the emperor and bowed.
"I have seen..."
Emperor Tianyuan raised his hand and spoke impatiently.
"Okay, stop politely and just say it."
Doctor Hu bowed his head and spoke.
"In reply to the Emperor and the Empress, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does have syphilis..."
At this time, the prince had already followed in, looking distraught.
When he looked up, he met the disappointed gaze of Emperor Tianyuan.
He knelt down hurriedly with a pleading look on his face.
"Father, I beg you to help me. Father, I have always been in good health and have rarely been involved in prostitution. I don't know how I contracted this serious illness. Moreover, when I didn't even realize I was ill, it caused a sensation in the city. I'm afraid someone is deliberately targeting me, or even that this illness was plotted against me. Father, please help me. As the crown prince of Tianyuan, I have been plotted against like this. Where does that person want to put the reputation of our Tianyuan?"
The queen also knelt down anxiously.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is indeed unaware of his own physical condition. Someone must be deliberately trying to harm him. I beg Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate this matter and make a decision for the Crown Prince."
As someone who had experienced the struggle for the throne, he understood that this was obviously a trap targeting the prince. However, if the prince got this kind of disease, it would basically be the end of him. He pinched the jade ring helplessly and closed his eyes. This was the crown prince whom he had trained for many years, and also his first son. Who on earth had the courage to do this?
"Doctor Hu, according to your diagnosis, when did the prince contract this illness?"
Doctor Hu bowed upon hearing this.
"In reply to Your Majesty, I have just carefully examined the Crown Prince. The initial symptoms indicate that he contracted the disease about a month ago. It seems that the Crown Prince himself is indeed unaware of the disease, as the symptoms are not obvious. If I had not taken his pulse and confirmed the diagnosis, I am afraid that the Crown Prince would not react until large red patches appeared on his private parts before the pain appeared."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Tianyuan looked at the prince with anger.
"Tell me where you went a month ago? Who did you meet?"
Jun Moxu recalled what he had heard.
Yaoyue Tower? I've been there before. I wasn't feeling well at the time, so I followed Qian Zexi's advice and went to see a special girl at Yaoyue Tower for treatment. I did get better later, but now I have a viral disease. Could it be that I really got it at Yaoyue Tower?
"Father, I have been busy with official duties lately and am currently staying at the palace..."
Seeing that he was still unwilling to tell the truth, Emperor Tianyuan's eyes became more and more disappointed.
"Prince, you'd better think it over carefully."
Then he looked at Doctor Hu.
"Doctor Hu, are you confident in treating this disease?"
Doctor Hu bowed upon hearing this.
"Your Majesty, I can only do my best. No one has yet been cured of this disease. I will immediately search the medical books and try to find a solution. Until I find a solution, I can only prescribe medicine for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to relieve the symptoms of syphilis."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Tianyuan waved to the imperial physician.
"Forget it. Go down and boil the medicine for the prince. This matter will be kept secret. You are solely responsible for the entire process. No one else is allowed to interfere. Also, remember, you are here today to treat the queen's madness. If this matter gets out of Wutong Palace, watch out for your head."
Upon hearing this, Doctor Hu hurriedly saluted in fear.
"Yes, I will keep my mouth shut and will not ask anyone else to help me prepare the medicine. I will also do my best to treat His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Wait for Doctor Hu to leave.
There were traces of tears on the queen's face.
"Your Majesty, please take care of our son. We only have this one son. I know that Your Majesty has many sons, but Your Majesty, I only have this one son. I beg Your Majesty to have mercy on me."
