Chapter 489 If the cure fails, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor
The person who came to convey Emperor Xuande's oral instructions was his old acquaintance Dehai.
With his usual faint smile on his face, he asked, "My princess, are you getting used to living in the Princess's Mansion these past few days since you returned to the capital?"
Song Yanxi said politely, "Thank you for your concern, eunuch. Everything is fine."
De Hai nodded and said directly: "The princess is a smart person. I think she should know why this old servant made this trip."
Song Yanxi asked, "But does Concubine Li want to invite you?"
De Hai laughed when he heard it, "Princess, please stop teasing an old man like me."
He said with a gloomy look in his eyes, "I believe His Royal Highness Prince Jin has mentioned to the princess that His Royal Highness Prince Ning was seriously injured during the spring hunt."
Song Yanxi said with a serious expression: "To be honest, eunuch, I do know that His Royal Highness Prince Ning was injured while rescuing the emperor.
But this was the work of a traitor who plotted rebellion. What does this have to do with His Royal Highness Prince Jin?"
Dehai waved his hands hurriedly and said with a smile: "My princess, you have misunderstood. This old servant did not mean that.
I just thought that the prince had met with the princess several times in the past two days, and perhaps they mentioned this matter privately.
He couldn't help but sigh as he spoke, and said meaningfully: "Your Highness Prince Jin and Your Highness Prince Ning were as close as one person when they were young, inseparable.
Later, His Highness resolutely joined the army and went to the bitter cold of the border town to hone his skills. When he returned, he was no longer as friendly with anyone.
Realizing that he had spoken out of turn, Dehai smiled and said, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Princess. This guy, once he gets older, he can't control his mouth."
As he spoke, he took a sip of tea from his cup before continuing, "Your Majesty asked me to make this trip today because he wanted to ask you to take the trouble to help Prince Ning recuperate."
Song Yanxi asked, "Did Your Majesty mention when?"
Dehai said with a smile: "Your Majesty did not mention this.
But according to this old servant, the sooner the better."
He turned his head to glance at the sky outside, as if he had just realized something, and said in annoyance, "It looks really late today."
The palace was only half an hour away from the princess's residence. He wouldn't leave the palace with his eyes closed all the way and only realize how late it was when he arrived.
Although His Majesty did not say it explicitly, his intention was clearly to ask her to go there immediately.
Song Yanxi frowned slightly, and said with some embarrassment: "I have never been to Prince Ning's Mansion before. I hope the eunuch can tell me."
Hearing this, Dehai said with a smile on his face: "No problem, I will accompany the princess on this trip."
Song Yanxi chuckled, "In that case, I'll trouble you, eunuch."
Now it was Dehai's turn to feel a little embarrassed. He smiled and said, "Then let's leave early so we can go and come back early."
*
Prince Ning's Mansion was not far from the Princess's Mansion. The carriage traveled for about a quarter of an hour and then slowly stopped.
Song Yanxi lifted the curtain and looked outside, only to see a thin figure waiting at the door, with the guards beside him putting a cloak on him.
As if not noticing the noise, the guard said, "Your Highness, it's getting late. The princess probably won't be here today. Let's go back first."
Prince Ning coughed lightly, a little color appearing on his pale face. He said weakly, "It's okay. I'll wait a little longer."
Dehai hurriedly got off the carriage and walked forward and said, "It's so windy today, why is Your Highness standing at the door?
Come inside quickly, it would be terrible if you catch a cold."
Prince Ning shook his head lightly, "It's okay."
He lowered his eyes, his face showing an indescribable loneliness, "Eunuch, please persuade my father to stop worrying about me and take care of himself.
This prince's body is probably not going to recover."
Song Yanxi got off the carriage carrying the medicine box, and heard Dehai say, "Your Highness, please don't say such discouraging words again in the future.
His Majesty has always been concerned about your health, so he has specially invited Princess Yong'an to take care of you."
"Really?" Prince Ning raised his eyes to look at Song Yanxi and chuckled softly, "Father is really something. He's not afraid that Fifth Brother will get into trouble if he finds out."
Dehai's smile froze slightly, and he said to himself, "Your Highness, you don't know that Princess Yong'an learned from the Divine Doctor Valley, and her ghost needle skills are superb.
With her taking care of the prince, I believe that within three months, the prince will be able to regain a healthy body."
If the medicine box in her hand wasn't too heavy, Song Yanxi really wanted to use it to cover Dehai's mouth.
Prince Ning's situation was different from Prince Jin's. The arrow wounded his heart and lungs, and he was lucky to have survived.
If he was not a prince and had not been accompanied by a group of imperial physicians during the spring hunt, with countless precious medicinal herbs thrown at him like they were free, he would not be able to stand here now.
Three months, it’s a good thing Dehai dared to say it.
Song Yanxi stepped forward quickly and said bluntly, "Your Majesty, although I have never seen your injuries, I have heard about the danger you suffered that day.
The heart and lungs were damaged, and I'm lucky to be alive. The only thing I can do is to take good care of myself from now on."
Prince Ning coughed lightly, his eyes filled with bitterness as he asked, "My princess, are you saying that there's no hope of recovery for my illness?"
Song Yanxi frowned and was about to speak when Dehai spoke first.
He smiled and said, "My princess is too modest. You are a disciple of Divine Doctor Valley. His Royal Highness Prince Jin was seriously injured, but he was able to stand up again with your help.
I think as long as the princess takes action, it won't take long for His Royal Highness Prince Ning's injuries to heal."
Song Yanxi's expression darkened as she listened. She asked in a cold voice, "Does Eunuch De really believe that any doctor from the Divine Doctor Valley can do anything?"
Before Dehai could speak, she continued, "If that were true, the entire Divine Doctor Valley clan wouldn't have been slaughtered and forced into seclusion."
For some people, it’s not that they don’t want to save them, but that they can’t be saved.
Over the years, people have deified the reclusive genius doctor Gu, praising him as if as long as they are willing to take action, they will be able to rescue people from the King of Hell every time.
Little do they know that every time they are fighting against fate and heaven.
There are indeed people who win the fight, but there are also many who lose.
Dehai had never seen Song Yanxi blush before, so he was stunned when he heard her words and couldn't answer for a while.
Prince Ning coughed lightly and said weakly, "Princess, please don't be upset. Eunuch De's words just now were just an attempt to deceive me."
It doesn’t matter whether he intended to deceive Prince Ning or not.
The important thing is that Song Yanxi cannot agree with what he just said.
Behind Dehai stood Emperor Xuande.
If it can be cured, everyone will be happy.
If you can't cure it, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor.
If he hadn't mentioned the Valley of Divine Doctors, it would still be her own business.
But he had to keep talking about his master, and she couldn't stand it.
How do we know whether there was any instruction from Emperor Xuande behind these words?
Dehai smiled awkwardly and explained, "My princess has truly misunderstood me. Even with the most advanced medical skills, there are always things that cannot be cured."
He paused, eyes full of heartache as he said, "This old servant only hopes that one day, I can still see the prince drawing his bow and arrow on horseback."
Prince Ning smiled self-deprecatingly, "I hope so."
He moved aside and said politely, "Princess, please."
Under the cover of night, the palace, with only two lanterns hanging at the gate, looked like an evil ghost with its bloody mouth gaping in the abyss.
Song Yanxi looked at it and inexplicably felt like giving up.
Her intuition told her that it might be dangerous here.
Dehai smiled and urged, "Princess, please, please heal me as soon as possible so that I can send you back."
As soon as he finished speaking, Prince Ning chuckled and said, "I'm afraid that Eunuch De's kindness will not be of any use."
