Chapter 112 Imperial Proclamation
"It hurts so much, it hurts so much--" The prince, who had never suffered any hardship, groaned loudly, and the sound of cups falling to the ground could be heard.
When Emperor Tai'an walked in, he saw a teacup smashed to the ground.
"Yuan'er, you're awake."
The prince paused in his frantic movements, looked towards the door, and immediately his eyes turned red: "Father, your son is in so much pain."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Tai'an's eyes turned red. He quickly walked over, held the prince's hand, and asked the trembling imperial physician, "Is there no way to relieve the pain?"
The imperial physician hurriedly said, "If you drink too much of this extremely effective painkilling medicine, it will have some effect on people."
"Can something relieve the pain?"
The imperial physician bowed his head and said, "This type of medicine has already been added to the decoction that Your Highness is taking."
Emperor Tai'an frowned: "Is there no other way?"
"I am incompetent..."
The emperor's majestic gaze swept over the other two imperial physicians present, and the two imperial physicians also lowered their heads.
The prince was certain that the imperial physician was powerless, and the string called rationality completely broke. He grabbed the quilt with his intact hand and cried out in pain.
Emperor Tai'an stared at the three doctors with a gloomy expression: "Don't you have any solution?"
Sensing the emperor's suppressed anger, a royal physician deliberated, "There was once a method of relieving pain with golden needles, but it's been lost..."
Upon hearing this, the prince roared with a ferocious expression, "You don't know how to do it, is there no one in the world who can do it?"
The three imperial doctors knelt down together, not daring to say a word.
There are always people better than you, and they certainly don't dare to say that there is no one in the world who knows this skill.
The unbearable pain made the prince's mind particularly active. He grabbed Emperor Tai'an's sleeve and said, "Father, please issue a decree to recruit talented people who can use golden needles to relieve pain!"
Emperor Tai'an hesitated slightly.
"Father, I really can't bear the pain. I am dying of pain!"
Emperor Tai'an lowered his eyes and looked at the prince.
The prince's forehead was covered in sweat, and his pale face and bulging veins made it clear that he was in great pain.
He lowered his gaze to the prince's injured left arm, which was wrapped in layers of white cloth and oozing with circles of brown blood.
A voice came from the doorway: "Your Majesty, what are you still considering? Post a notice to seek medical help as soon as possible so that the Crown Prince will suffer less."
Emperor Tai'an immediately turned around and greeted her: "Mother, why are you here?"
The Queen Mother walked in, supported by a palace maid. "Such a big thing has happened to the Crown Prince. How could I not come and see?"
When the prince saw the Queen Mother, he felt even more aggrieved: "Grandmother..."
The Queen Mother glanced at her pitiful grandson and sighed, "Yuan'er has suffered so much. Just bear with it a little longer. There are so many talented people in the world. There must be someone who knows how to use acupuncture to relieve pain."
The prince frowned and nodded.
The Queen Mother looked at Emperor Tai'an.
Emperor Tai'an did not hesitate and ordered the eunuch to make arrangements.
At this time, the eunuch came in and reported: "The King of Wei is here to visit Your Highness."
Upon hearing that it was the King of Wei, Emperor Tai'an's tense expression relaxed slightly and he asked the eunuch to invite the person in.
Soon, a shrunken ball moved in. Seeing that Emperor Tai'an and the Empress Dowager were both there, he was slightly startled: "Grandmother and Father are here."
Emperor Tai'an didn't realize what was happening, but the Queen Mother, who hadn't seen the King of Wei for a few days, couldn't help but look at him carefully.
It's only been a few days, but Silang has lost weight again and looks a bit more handsome.
"Brother, are you feeling better?" King Wei walked over with a look of concern on his face.
The prince never took his younger brother seriously, and now that he couldn't bear the pain, he was even more lazy to deal with him.
The King of Wei didn't care: "My elder brother was assassinated yesterday, which really scared me. Fortunately, my elder brother has good luck..."
The prince impatiently interrupted the King of Wei's concern and said, "I want to sleep now. Fourth brother, go back."
"Oh, then I won't disturb your rest." King Wei said good-temperedly.
"Then you should have a good rest." The Queen Mother patted the Crown Prince's hand, and seemed to have just remembered, "When I came here, I saw the Crown Princess standing outside——"
The prince said with disgust: "Grandson doesn't want to see her."
The Queen Mother was actually a little disappointed with the Prince's expression, but she didn't show it at all: "She is your wife, and it is her duty to come and take care of you when you are sick."
In the Queen Mother's view, it was a bit mean to embarrass the Crown Princess in this way.
The prince is not an ordinary rich and powerful kid, but the crown prince, so it is not good to leave a harsh impression on the people.
Emperor Tai'an also said, "I heard that the Crown Princess knelt all night last night, praying for you."
Even though the Wuning Marquisate was punished later, Emperor Tai'an had no intention of deposing the Crown Princess. Since he was not going to do anything about the Crown Princess, he couldn't make things too awkward.
After hearing what the two most senior figures in the palace said, the prince had no choice but to say, "Son, I understand."
The Empress Dowager, Emperor Tai'an, and Prince Wei, a family of three, left the Eastern Palace together.
"Silang, I think you seem to have lost weight."
Emperor Tai'an glanced at his son and said with certainty, "He has lost a lot of weight."
The King of Wei was a little embarrassed: "My son is getting married soon, and it's not good for him to be so fat all the time. So I decided to eat less and exercise more. I didn't expect him to lose weight."
The Queen Mother laughed: "It turns out that only after getting married can one become sensible."
Emperor Tai'an was very pleased that the King of Wei had lost weight and advised him, "Since it's working, you must stick with it."
"Don't worry, Father. I will definitely hold on. Once I lose weight completely, maybe I can become as handsome as you."
After hearing this, Emperor Tai'an's expression, which had been gloomy for two days, brightened up a little.
In the East Palace, the atmosphere was dead.
The prince looked at the Crown Princess who was shaky after a sleepless night and said with annoyance: "I don't want to see you now, go back to your room."
The Crown Princess's eyes were filled with tears: "Your Highness, my family really didn't expect something like this to happen—"
"That's enough! I don't want to hear this!" The Crown Prince interrupted the Crown Princess's plea with a ferocious expression, "Stay away from me! Get out!"
The unbearable pain made the prince lose all his patience and he just wanted to get angry.
The Crown Princess bit her lip and left in tears. She glanced at Sun Xiuhua who was standing quietly, feeling hatred and annoyance in her heart.
Originally, no matter how favored this bitch was, she didn't have to take it too seriously as long as she was safely serving as the Crown Princess. But in the future, this bitch might step on her head.
I can only blame my brother for letting someone take advantage of me...
The assassination of the crown prince affected more than just the Wuning Marquisate. After a day of word of mouth, countless pairs of eyes were paying attention to the crown prince's situation. Then these people discovered that the yamen runners began to post the imperial edict everywhere.
The contents of the imperial edict were recited by scholars, and the people in the capital all knew about it. The royal family wanted to summon someone who knew the art of using golden needles to relieve pain into the palace.
The communication between the upper and lower levels was actually blocked. Except for the people who saw with their own eyes that the Wuning Marquis' Mansion was surrounded by soldiers and officers, most of the people did not know that the prince had been assassinated. When they saw the imperial edict, they just thought that a noble was sick and asked for a famous doctor.
Luoying was in the middle. Baozhu ran in and said in a clear voice, "Miss, there's an imperial decree posted outside, looking for someone who knows how to use golden needles to relieve pain."
When Lin Hao heard this, he took down the red cloak with a snow fox fur collar that was draped over the screen and said, "Go and take a look."
