Enraged, Mu Wange didn't even glance at Feng Jin before rushing over and yelling, "Feng Jin, if you dare to wake up today, I'll make you wish you were dead!"
Seeing this, Hua Mancheng was completely enraged. He forcefully pulled Mu Wange aside and was about to start a fight when he suddenly heard Feng Jin coughing violently. He and she turned around in surprise and saw that Feng Jin had indeed woken up.
Feng Jin slowly sat up, staring indifferently at Mu Wange, who was full of hostility towards her, and said coldly, "If you want to fight, go outside and fight. Don't make a scene in my room!"
Thinking back to her impulsive actions, she immediately lost her confidence and tentatively asked Feng Jin, "Did you hear everything that was said just now?"
Slowly getting up while supporting herself against the wall, Feng Jin gave her a disgruntled look. "Of course, I've only been unconscious, not dead!"
"Your Highness, you've just woken up and are still very weak. You shouldn't move around." Hua Mancheng turned to Feng Jin with an unusually flustered expression and said in a deep voice, "His Highness is also seriously ill right now, and I have to take care of you for him..."
"You said... what happened to the prince?" She abruptly interrupted Hua Mancheng, her heart tightening, and she suddenly had a bad feeling.
Ah Chen's illness at this time must be closely related to her poisoning. As she spoke, her sharp eyes turned to Hua Mancheng, eager to find some clues.
Hua Mancheng knew he couldn't keep this a secret any longer, so he had no choice but to tell the truth: "His Highness was poisoned while searching for an antidote for you, and now his fate is uncertain..."
Before he could finish speaking, Feng Jin clumsily jumped off the bed, and before anyone could react, she sprinted out of the room at top speed, then staggered towards Mu Beichen's room.
At this moment, Mu Beichen was seen lying stiffly on the bed, his face pale, and his whole being exuded a deathly aura, showing an unusual weakness.
Since she first met him, this was the first time Feng Jin had seen him looking so haggard and heartbreaking. Feng Jin's heart clenched, and tears involuntarily streamed down her face. She hadn't felt this utterly helpless in a long time.
“Ah Chen… the peach blossoms in Changcui Garden are all in bloom, even more beautiful than when I first entered the manor last year. I remember you once said that if I hadn’t left the manor by the time I turned eighteen, you would accompany me to admire a peach blossom rain that would be the most beautiful in the entire city. And now, I’m exactly eighteen, Ah Chen, you must remember to keep your promise…” Feng Jin cupped Mu Beichen’s cold face, calling his name softly, each word like a promise.
Feng Jin's words had been gone for a long time, but Mu Beichen remained lying there motionless, as if all his consciousness was isolated in another place. No matter how others called him, he would not feel anything.
"Imperial Physician! Where is the Imperial Physician!" Feng Jin was also anxious, and she shouted loudly to bring the Imperial Physician in. "How exactly have you been treating the Prince? It's been so long, why hasn't he shown the slightest improvement?"
The imperial physicians hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Your Highness, please calm down... We have been doing our best to treat the prince, but the poison is too strong, and the strange poison in the prince's body has invaded his internal organs. Even if there is an antidote, it will take some time to cure him."
Hearing this, Feng Jin became even more agitated. "Then you should make it clear how much time you need!"
"It could take anywhere from a few months to three to five years..."
Three to five years? In that time, the world would probably have changed long ago. Besides, how could Mu Feiyu allow him to stay at home and recuperate peacefully?
Thinking of this, she continued to press on, unwilling to give up: "Do you have any other way to wake the prince up as soon as possible?"
"This..." The imperial physician paused, then stammered, "There is a method, but I'm afraid it's too risky, and the medicinal ingredient is extremely difficult to find..."
"You may speak freely. If anything goes wrong, I will take full responsibility." Feng Jin saw through the imperial physician's concerns and reassured him without hesitation.
The imperial physician nodded slightly and slowly explained to Feng Jin: "First of all, Your Highness's poison requires a rare and precious medicine called Yunlin Grass. This kind of thing is only produced in Jianglan Kingdom. Moreover, after obtaining this medicine, a person with a strong physique is needed to detoxify Your Highness. With the Princess's current physical condition, I'm afraid it is not possible."
Whether it was Jiang Lan Kingdom, which was thousands of miles away from her, or the right person to cure Mu Beichen's poison, neither was a luxury for her at this moment.
Now, she cannot leave Mu Beichen's side, and the only way is to send a letter by carrier pigeon. At this moment, she only hopes that Su Yu can receive her letter as soon as possible.
Jiang Languo —
At this moment, a peaceful atmosphere prevailed both inside and outside the Jianglan Kingdom's palace.
Inside the magnificent Eastern Palace, a scene of singing and dancing filled the air. Women swayed their alluring figures, fluttering their sleeves, their beautiful faces half-hidden, half-revealed, gradually blossoming into smiles, all to please the man in the yellow robe and crown sitting on the high platform.
Su Yu leaned lazily against his seat, his face turned to the side. His golden robe made his handsome face stand out. His eyes were half-closed, and he stroked his hair with his hand, showing a nonchalant attitude. He let the people below sing and dance, but his mind had long since flown to the ends of the earth.
Before the music ended and the dance was over, Su Yu suddenly blurted out a cold shout: "Get out, all of you!"
The music suddenly stopped, and the hall fell silent. The women were so frightened that they lowered their heads and immediately stopped what they were doing. Everyone retreated in an instant.
It's no wonder Su Yu was annoyed. Ever since he returned from his trip to Beiyou Kingdom, he had become the target of everyone in the court, who urged him to get married. This was because he was the youngest and most promising among the princes of the Su family, so the royal family had placed high hopes on him since he was a child.
By this time, all the civil and military officials in the court were eager to send their distant relatives' daughters to the Crown Prince's residence. The Emperor and Empress Dowager had also been searching for daughters from wealthy families for him. In the end, they chose Su Zhenzhen, the youngest cousin of the Grand Tutor, who was also the one he disliked the most.
Just as Su Yu was about to get up and return to her room, the eunuch from the Eastern Palace jogged to the entrance of the main hall. Before he even arrived, his voice rang out: "Your Highness, it's a message from your carrier pigeon!"
After slowly straightening her clothes, Su Yu casually said as she walked, "See who it is for me."
"Your Highness, the letter mentioned a person named Feng Jin who said..."
Upon hearing the name Feng Jin, Su Yu's expression immediately changed. Before the eunuch could finish speaking, he eagerly snatched the letter. It contained only one line of text, a very short sentence, yet it made him read it over and over again with great interest.
