Lu Jinshu was about to reply when Fengye's voice came from behind, "Your Highness, the young master has woken up. Please go in and see him."
Ling Shumo thought of Pei Jiusheng who was dying, and the good mood she had accumulated from chatting with Lu Jinshu just now was instantly wiped out, and her brows frowned involuntarily.
inside the house.
The effect of the painkiller has been fully exerted. Pei Jiusheng's face is still pale, but his eyes have regained their spirit, and his whole body reveals the joy of relaxation.
Ling Shumo's brows furrowed even tighter. "Pei Jiusheng, you're about to die, aren't you afraid? Why do I feel like you're even a little happy?"
Pei Jiusheng burst into laughter. He was already handsome, and this made him look even more radiant. "Because I... I finally don't have to lie to Your Highness anymore. I've been taking poisonous drugs like Tianxian Baigu Powder for a long time. Not only has my life been shortened, but I've also been unable to give birth to children for Your Highness. I've truly brought shame upon Your Highness. I've wanted to reveal all this to Your Highness several times, but when the time came, I got scared. I'm afraid Your Highness will hate me to the core after he knows the truth."
Pei Jiusheng lowered his brows when he said this. "This morning, someone reported that His Highness was poisoned. Although I was panicked, I was actually somewhat relieved. I drained my heart blood to detoxify His Highness and heal his illness, which can be regarded as saving His Highness's life. In this case, even if His Highness knew the truth, considering that my life is coming to an end, he should not be so hateful, right?"
Ling Shumo didn't answer the question. She grabbed Pei Jiusheng's hand and said, "I won't let you die. There's a miraculous doctor who has been living in seclusion in Qingyang Mountain, Dingzhou for many years. I had someone prepare a carriage as soon as I left the palace. As long as I can invite that miraculous doctor to the East Palace, your illness will definitely be cured."
Pei Jiusheng's fingers unconsciously stirred the corner of the quilt. "Your Majesty only wishes to execute me immediately. He will not allow Your Highness to go to Dingzhou to seek medical treatment for me. The most important thing is that Your Highness is busy with official duties. I have already been a burden to Your Highness. I don't want Your Highness to work hard for me anymore."
Ling Shumo's tone was tinged with pride. "The new variety of rice has been planted, and the pilot project is in Qingyang City, Dingzhou. I was originally going to conduct an on-site inspection with the head of the Ministry of Agriculture. This matter was decided two months ago, and the Queen Mother will not object. You should rest well in Linglong Palace. When I find the miracle doctor, I will immediately send someone to escort her back to the East Palace to cure your illness."
Pei Jiusheng looked up at Ling Shumo, his eyes now filled with tears. "It takes a month to get from the capital to Qingyang City one way. The imperial physician said I can only last three months at most, but long-term illness makes a doctor, and I know my body well. Living for two months is a blessing from heaven. Not to mention how difficult it is to find a miracle doctor, even if Your Highness can find a miracle doctor immediately after arriving at Qingyang Mountain, I will have died by the time the doctor arrives at the Eastern Palace."
Ling Shumo was speechless for a moment. She looked at Pei Jiusheng for a moment, then lowered her head.
There was a hot and wet liquid flowing down her cheeks. Ling Shumo wiped her face roughly. Her heart seemed to be torn in half by someone. The pain brought out more tears in her eyes.
She initially thought about letting Pei Jiusheng go with her to Dingzhou, but the imperial physician said that Pei Jiusheng's illness required rest. If he had to go with her on the bumpy journey, the toxins in his body would spread faster and he would die suddenly within fifteen days at most.
In her previous life, Ling Shumo had no one to care about. Her parents loved her, but they loved her brother even more. Therefore, after traveling here, she felt extremely happy and forgot about her "family" from her previous life on the first day.
In this life, she is the Crown Princess of the Chisha Empire.
She had no feelings for the original owner's biological father. Her mother was the supreme emperor, so she had to think twice before speaking or acting in his presence. Although she had many sisters and brothers, their harmony was only superficial. Ling Shujiao could call her sister one moment and then arrange for assassins to stab her in the back the next.
As for the men in her backyard, except for the cunning Lu Jinshu and the simple-minded Shangguan Xu, the others were either coveting her noble status as the Crown Princess or had other motives. It was okay to have some fun with them on weekdays, but it would be a huge joke to say that they were truly devoted to her.
