Chapter 548 King Ning’s Promise
Thinking of the dying Emperor Chu lying on the dragon bed, Chu Jiuqing's expression was gloomy.
"To be honest, my father has always been in good health, but he suddenly fell ill a few days ago for some unknown reason.
The imperial physician in the palace initially said that it was a cold and that he would recover after taking a few doses of medicine.
Who would have thought that after taking a few doses of medicine, the condition not only did not improve, but became even more serious, to the point where he was in imminent danger.
Now all the imperial doctors are helpless. I know that you, my benefactor, are a great doctor. I beg you to come back to Kyoto with me and help treat my father's strange illness."
Hearing this, Chen Qingqing could not help but frown. Although she guessed that Prince Ning had something to ask of her, she never thought that he was treating the Emperor of the Great Ning Dynasty.
Indulgence in sex accelerates aging, and excessive sexual activity shortens life.
Since ancient times, the private lives of emperors have generally been characterized by debauchery and indulgence in beauty.
There were many emperors who lost their lives due to their lust for beauty and excessive indulgence in sex.
While the body is being hollowed out, they still take those so-called elixirs of immortality.
If you do stupid things every day, it would be strange if you don’t get sick!
This assignment was unusual. Although she had excellent medical skills, if she was unlucky, the emperor would kick her before she could figure out the problem. That would be a capital crime.
No, no, the risk is too great, it’s better not to get involved in this mess.
Having made up her mind, Chen Qingqing politely declined. "Your Highness Prince Ning, curing illnesses and saving lives is a doctor's duty. If I can truly help, I will not refuse. However, the palace has many rules and regulations. How can a commoner like me rashly enter the palace? I'm afraid it would be inconvenient. Moreover, the royal doctors are all highly skilled, and they are helpless. I dare not show off my skills before an expert. I hope Prince Ning will understand."
Chu Jiuqing was filled with anxiety when he heard this. "My benefactor, please don't delay any longer. I believe in my judgment. You will never let me down and will definitely save my father's life."
"Your Highness Prince Ning, you are too kind. The symptoms are complex and varied. Even though my medical skills are decent, I cannot guarantee that the medicine will cure the disease. You should seek help from another doctor."
Seeing that Chen Qingqing still refused, Chu Jiuqing became extremely anxious.
The prince is ready to make a move and is determined to seize the throne. If the King of Chu dies and the prince ascends the throne, he will be the first one to be killed.
His death is not a pity, but the brothers who have been through thick and thin with him will also be in great danger.
His Dragon Shadow Secret Guard is bound to become a thorn in Chu Jinxuan's side, and his fate can be imagined.
The loyal and good officials in the court are bound to be suppressed, and the Daning Dynasty is in danger...
"My benefactor, to be honest, my father's illness is strange and not like an ordinary illness. I suspect it is caused by poisoning.
Most of the imperial doctors in Kyoto were close confidants of the Crown Prince Chu Jinxuan, and the rest were unable to diagnose the specific cause of the disease.
I only thought of my benefactor when I had no other choice. After all, I was poisoned by the 'Three Days Soul Returning Powder'. Once it took effect, I only had three days to detoxify.
The day you rescued me, I was already poisoned, yet you forcibly pulled me back from the clutches of Hades. This speaks volumes about your extraordinary medical skills, so please don't refuse."
The water in Kyoto is deep, she doesn't want to go there,
Chen Qingqing frowned slightly, "Your Highness Prince Ning, thank you for your compliment. I'm just a doctor and I don't know how to detoxify. Saving you was just an accident."
Chu Jiuqing's eyes were bloodshot. If it were someone else, he could use his status to hinder them.
I'm afraid Chen Qingqing can't do it. She has been with her for more than half a year and knows her too well. Not only is her medical skill amazing, but she is also an expert in poison making.
Although he had lost his memory at that time, he was not stupid. He dug ginseng in the Wild Wolf Valley and easily dealt with the giant python.
Facing Chen Zhancai's provocation at the banquet, Chen Qingqing poisoned the wine, although she hid it from everyone, but he saw the whole process clearly.
Chu Jiuqing looked at her steadily. "Could it be that your benefactor is afraid of getting involved in trouble? But from the moment you rescued me, you and I have become people on the same warship. The prince has been secretly tracking down who saved me.
The people from Kyoto have already been dealt with by my secret guards. If the prince ascends the throne and my power is withdrawn, can you still stay out of it safely?
Your family and everyone in Nanshan Village will be the first to be killed after the new emperor ascends the throne. Please think twice!"
"Damn it, I saved someone and ended up in trouble." Chen Qingqing couldn't help but curse in her heart.
Chu Jiuqing didn't want to threaten her, but if he didn't say that, she probably wouldn't go back to Kyoto with him even if he killed her.
Suppressing the apology in his eyes, he continued,
"Now, various forces in the court are ready to make a move. If something happens to the Emperor of Chu, there will inevitably be a bloody storm in the palace, and in the end, only innocent people will suffer. To protect the people from suffering, please do not refuse your benefactor."
If it is a blessing, it is not a disaster; if it is a disaster, it cannot be avoided.
Stretching your neck is like cutting a knife, and shrinking your neck is also like cutting a knife.
You can’t avoid the people you are destined to meet, and you can’t escape the disaster you are destined to experience.
Chen Qingqing was silent for a moment, then nodded. "Alright, since Prince Ning is so kind, then I will respectfully obey your orders. However, let's be frank. I can only do my best. I hope Your Highness won't have too many expectations."
Chu Jiuqing's face lit up with joy when he heard this. "If my benefactor is willing to help, my father's illness will definitely be cured. As long as you can save my father's life, I will definitely meet all your requests, even if it means giving him an official title or a higher rank."
"Forget about promotions and advancement. I just want to live peacefully with my family." Chen Qingqing bit her lip and rolled her eyes. "If Your Highness can overthrow the Crown Prince, can you guarantee that my family and I will be safe for the rest of our lives, free from bullies?"
Seeing her eyes full of cunning, Chu Jiuqing's depressed mood for the past few days could not help but improve a little. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Of course, I will not refuse anything my benefactor wants."
Going through life and death in exchange for a peaceful life is worth it for her who has no background or backing!
Chen Qingqing smiled, "Okay, one carrot, one hole, a spit is a nail, Your Highness Prince Ning, don't forget your promise today."
As long as the Emperor of Chu can be rescued, capturing the Crown Prince will be just around the corner. Even if the Emperor of Chu cannot wait for him to return, his Dragon Shadow Army will not be pushovers and will fight to the death.
Chu Jiuqing's eyes were full of confidence. "Don't worry, benefactor. Once a word is spoken, it is hard to take it back. I will definitely not let you down."
Chen Qingqing felt uncomfortable hearing him calling her benefactor all the time.
Since we are all on the same boat, why pretend?
She shook her head and waved her hands, "Don't call me benefactor all the time. It sounds uncomfortable. From now on, just call me Qing girl or Qingqing sister."
