Chapter 1393 Not Others
Manbao didn't nod, but he didn't shake his head either. Bai Shan, who was already used to it, came to a conclusion, and that was it.
Bai Shan couldn't help but be curious, "What kind of poison is that? It's so powerful that even Xiao Yuanzheng and the others didn't notice it?"
Manbao described the stone in detail and then said, "It is said that if you live near that stone, you will be poisoned even if you are not exposed to sunlight. You will become weaker and weaker day by day, and you may even have nosebleeds and hair loss. Then, before you know it, you will become weaker and die."
Bai Shan opened his mouth wide, "So poisonous?"
Manbao nodded, "It's just that this poison can't be diagnosed yet, so even a doctor can't tell if this stone is poisonous or not."
"How are you going to explain to them that you know the antidote to such a powerful poison?" You can't say that the antidote was given to her by her biological father, right?
Man Bao said: "I am also troubled. This antidote is not easy to make. I can't make it at the moment. I can only use the ready-made one."
Bai Shan rolled his eyes and said, "I have a solution. Tell me the poison and I'll come up with a recipe for you that no one else can make."
Manbao blinked, thinking, "I can only tell you after I learn it."
The two reached a consensus.
Bai Shan saw that she still looked a little worried, so he asked, "Is there anything else?"
Manbao tapped his toes without saying anything.
Bai Shan reached out and hooked her fingers together and said, "Come on, tell me, what are we still avoiding?"
Manbao muttered, "How do you know I'm in trouble?"
"Since the prince's poison already has an antidote, why are you so worried?" Bai Shan said, "Just now, there were so many dishes you loved on the table, but you only ate one bowl of rice."
Manbao didn't expect that he was so worried that he even ate less.
She sighed deeply and said, "Don't mention it, the prince..."
Manbao pondered for a moment and said, "It's strange. At first, before I told him he was poisoned, he was angry but still polite. But after he knew he was poisoned, he went crazy..."
Although, before he knew he was poisoned, he smashed things like crazy, but after knowing he was poisoned, he sat very quietly without saying a word, and seemed to be normal again.
But Manbao always felt that the prince who was fighting and smashing things was safer, and the prince who was sitting on the ground in silence was even more terrifying.
Manbao first glanced carefully out the window, and then whispered to him about the changes in the prince today and her feelings.
"What makes me most uneasy is what the Crown Princess said when she sent me out." Man Bao whispered, "I always feel that the Crown Princess is deliberately distancing herself from me. She used to be so affectionate to me. Every time I left the palace, she would give me something. Even if she didn't give me cloth, she would ask the kitchen to prepare some delicious food for me to take away. She was very considerate."
Manbao lowered his voice and said, "But this time, she even specifically told Eunuch Wu not to send me off."
Although it seemed a bit narcissistic, Manbao felt that the Crown Princess seemed to be protecting her by doing this.
But before this, the Crown Princess wanted to announce to the world that she was from the Eastern Palace and was in the same boat with the Crown Prince, and doted on him to the utmost. Who or what was there that the Crown Princess would be afraid of?
Manbao raised her eyes and looked at Bai Shan opposite her with her big eyes seriously. Bai Shan also raised his eyes and looked at her.
The two looked at each other and couldn't help swallowing. They were a little scared. They didn't know if it was because of nervousness or fear, but their hearts were pounding a few times.
Bai Shan put herself in Donggong's shoes and couldn't help but pinch Manbao's fingers, whispering, "If they're distancing themselves from the matter in order to avoid implicating you, then Donggong wants to do something that might lead to its downfall, and that's why they'd implicate a doctor like you."
"Otherwise, the Prince's Mansion wants to frame you and is laying the groundwork for something." Bai Shan stared at Man Bao and asked, "Which one do you think it is?"
Manbao hesitated for a moment and then said, "Although I'm young, I think my feelings are still very accurate. I don't think the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess want to harm me. Even the Crown Prince seems to be deliberately distancing himself from me."
Bai Shan nodded and said, "Although the prince has many faults, he is still an upright person."
The two sat facing each other. Manbao couldn't help but poke him with the finger he was holding and asked, "So what do you say we should do?"
Bai Shan lowered his eyes and said, "The prince's problem is that he can't have children. Are you really sure you can cure his infertility?"
Manbao said: "As long as he is obedient."
Bai Shan whispered, "Then let the Crown Princess get pregnant before he takes action. As long as she has a child, he will naturally not think of taking action again."
He said, "He wants to do what the King of Yizhou did because he feels he can't have children and is being pressured. If he doesn't do something, he might not live long. But as long as he has a child, his current predicament will be over."
Man Bao nodded, then sighed, "The Third Prince too, how could he be so mean? The Crown Prince is his biological brother, after all, they share the same mother. Fighting for the throne would be fine, but he actually poisoned the Crown Prince."
Bai Shan thought for a moment and shook his head, saying, "It might not be the Third Prince who poisoned me."
"Huh?" Manbao asked, "Are the other princes also going to compete with the Crown Prince?"
Bai Shan tapped her nose and smiled, "The struggle for imperial power has never been limited to the princes. Even if some people don't want to fight, others will push them to do so. Look at the history books we've read since we were young. How many people said they wanted to be emperor as soon as they were old enough to understand?"
He said, "People are the most innocent at the beginning, but as they grow up, they develop desires, and are pushed forward by themselves or those around them."
Manbao seemed to be lost in thought.
Bai Shan's still young face showed a deepness that was not in line with his age. He said, "I think that when the Crown Prince and the Third Prince were young, they were also brothers and sisters."
Someone didn't know what happened in the front yard, but they could hear the loud laughter of the big guys. Even Manbao could feel the joy in the study.
She couldn't help but turn her head to look out the window, then straight at the front yard, and asked softly, "Will my brothers and sisters become like this in the future?"
Bai Shan also glanced outside and said after a moment of silence, "A good family tradition will always last longer, but no matter how long it lasts, there will be ups and downs."
He said, "Let's not look at those aristocratic families in the "Clan Records," and just look at our Bai family. Over the past few hundred years, we've experienced ups and downs. There have been times when brothers were friendly and respectful, and there have also been times when our descendants were unfilial. Otherwise, my cousin's family wouldn't have branched out so early, and my family wouldn't have fled to Qili Village. We can only take care of ourselves, and we should leave the affairs of future generations to them."
Manbao also withdrew his thoughts.
Although the two are smart, they are young after all. Their sadness and worries are only temporary, and they still have more hope in their hearts.
So they just said a few words and let the matter go. What they were most concerned about was the prince's affairs.
