Chapter 234 A Blessing in Disguise
"What nonsense are you talking about?" The King of Qin realized that something was wrong and looked at the servant dangerously.
The servant shrank back in fear when he met the King of Qin's gaze, but soon he stood up and said confidently, "Our prince was in trouble because he was alone in the same room with His Royal Highness the King of Qin. How could this be possible if it had nothing to do with His Royal Highness the King of Qin!"
"Someone, take the prince to see the imperial physician!" The King of Qin felt the prince's breath and found that he was still breathing. He was too lazy to waste time talking to this servant.
The most urgent task was to save the prince. If the prince really died, then he would have no way to defend himself. Soon, the King of Qin brought the prince back to the East Palace, and the imperial doctors rushed to treat him.
At the same time, he didn't know that the news of his plot to murder the crown prince had slowly spread. Xu Qingyan and the others heard rumors on the street and learned that something had happened between the crown prince and the King of Qin.
"Brother, sister-in-law, why are the people outside talking nonsense? How could the King of Qin murder the prince? Someone must want to harm him! What should we do now?" Pei Jinyu was very anxious in the mansion.
After Xu Qingyan and Pei Jingchuan thought it over, they quickly comforted Pei Jinyu and said, "I'm afraid this matter is not simple. You should stay in the Duke's Mansion and don't go out. We will find a way to deal with the King of Qin. By the way, where is Doctor Xuan? Let's take Doctor Xuan to the East Palace."
They felt that since the matter involved the King of Qin, the prince must not be allowed to die. The imperial physician in the palace might not be able to cure the prince, so it would be more reliable to bring Doctor Xuan with him.
Soon, Doctor Xuan was invited over. After listening to Xu Qingyan and the others' explanation of the whole story, he said worriedly, "You can go to the East Palace, but you have to wait for me. I can't go in my current appearance. I have to change my appearance."
In the past, he had been in the palace for so many years, so he was inevitably afraid that he would be recognized. Upon hearing this, Xu Qingyan and the others nodded in agreement, and only after Doctor Xuan changed his appearance did they take him to the East Palace.
At this time, the East Palace was in chaos. Even the queen, who had lived in the deep palace for a long time, came here worriedly.
"Your Majesty, please spare me! Given the Crown Prince's condition, I really can't do anything to save him!" The imperial physician with the best medical skills knelt on the ground in fear.
Upon hearing this, the Queen's face turned pale instantly and she said angrily, "Treat him! You continue to treat him and you must save His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
The imperial doctors were all in agony and knelt on the ground together: "Your Majesty, we are incompetent. Please accept my condolences!"
After hearing this, the queen felt weak and almost fainted.
The King of Qin on the side also had a solemn look on his face. He remembered the divine doctor in Pei Jingchuan's house, and quickly ordered his servants, "Come here, go to the Duke of Ying's house and invite the young master here. Tell him..."
Just as he was whispering in his personal servant's ear to give him instructions, an anxious servant came in and reported, "Empress, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of the Duke of Ying are outside seeking an audience. They said they brought a folk miracle doctor who might be able to save His Royal Highness!"
After hearing this, the queen's eyes sparkled with hope, and she hurriedly said, "Quick...quickly let them..."
"Empress, please think twice! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince became like this because he went out to dinner with the King of Qin. The King of Qin is the biggest suspect, and the Duke of Ying's Mansion has always had a good relationship with the King of Qin. How could they be so kind!" Before the Queen could finish her words, the Crown Prince's personal servant knelt down and said.
Upon hearing this, the King of Qin's eyebrows moved, and he immediately retorted: "Anyway, the imperial physician has already said that the prince has no hope of being saved, so what's wrong with letting someone else take a look now? It's death anyway, do you think I will do something? Or are you worried that the prince will come back to life? You are a servant, how dare you dare to refute your master!"
"I..." The servant retorted after hearing what King Qin said.
"Someone, drag this servant away for me!" The servant was about to retort when he was interrupted coldly by the queen.
He was so anxious that sweat broke out on his back. If His Royal Highness really let the people from Young Master Pei cure him, how would he explain this to Prince Shuo? His whole family was in the hands of the other party!
Soon, Pei Jingchuan and his companions came in with Doctor Xuan who had disguised himself.
The Queen did not have too many concerns, and with the attitude of trying her best, she asked Doctor Xuan to treat the prince. Doctor Xuan anxiously stepped forward, put down his medicine box, and began to feel the prince's pulse, his brows gradually becoming more solemn.
"Your Highness, this can be considered a blessing in disguise!" Doctor Xuan said this after a long while.
The Queen was puzzled after hearing this and asked anxiously, "Doctor, what do you mean? Prince, is there still hope? Can you save him?"
Similarly, Xu Qingyan and the others looked at Doctor Xuan with doubts.
Doctor Xuan did not answer immediately. Instead, he sealed several of the prince's acupoints with silver needles and said, "Bring me a pen and paper. I will write a prescription. Now hurry up and boil the medicine according to this."
After finishing all these, he slowly explained, "Your Highness, the poison you were poisoned with today is extremely dangerous. Originally, he would have died suddenly within a quarter of an hour. But the prince is lucky that there is another poison in his body that complements and counteracts the poison, delaying the death time of the poison. If it was half an hour later, even the gods would be helpless. Now, I have sealed the prince's acupoints to control the spread of the poison. I will give him a bowl of detoxification soup later, and he will be able to save his life, but it will take some time for him to wake up."
"Divine doctor, can you tell that he was poisoned before?" Now, the queen also began to be surprised.
She couldn't help but think of what the prince had told her before, that the reason he couldn't help wanting to touch a woman was because there was something in his body that he couldn't suppress, and he suspected that he had been poisoned. However, she and the emperor asked the imperial physician to examine the prince, but they couldn't find anything, and insisted that the prince was not poisoned.
This also made the emperor feel that the prince was deliberately looking for excuses for his lust and promiscuity, and he disliked him even more. Although she wanted to believe her son, the words of the imperial physician also made her a little confused. Now, when she heard Doctor Xuan say that the reason her son didn't die today was thanks to the poison, her heart suddenly became complicated.
Doctor Xuan did not shy away from telling the Queen directly, "Your Highness, the poison was caused by a kind of charm insect from Louxi. The poisoned person will show lustful symptoms and cannot control his body. He needs to have sex with women almost every day to relieve the pain. But this kind of insect will also affect life span. If it continues for a long time, the poisoned person will not live past the age of 30. Today's poison collided with the poison insect, and the charm insect in the prince's body was poisoned to death."
"In that case, the charm in the prince's body is gone? In the future, he will need..." The queen was embarrassed to continue with the rest of the sentence, but everyone understood it.
Doctor Xuan nodded and said, "In the future, that will naturally not be necessary. However, the prince's body has been seriously damaged this time, and he will be very weak in the next few years. Not only does he not need women, it is best for him not to get close to women in the next few years. The prince will not wake up in the near future."
