Chapter 87 is all the same group of people
"My brother, the Crown Prince, has always protected me!"
After my mother passed away, I stayed with my elder brother, the Crown Prince. My father was busy with state affairs, so it was my elder brother who took care of me.
Therefore, I am more worried about my brother, the Crown Prince, than anyone else.
But the Crown Prince's health...
Song Zhimian, there's something I still need to tell you.
"After the Crown Prince suffered two shocks, Imperial Physician Liu diagnosed him and told Father Emperor that the Crown Prince might not live past thirty-five," Xiao Huaijin said softly.
Song Zhimian...
Will the crown prince not live past thirty-five?
How could that be!
The Crown Prince is now about thirty years old, which means he only has five years left to live...
"That means those people saw what was wrong with the Crown Prince's body on his medical records." Song Zhimian found it unbelievable.
Those people really know how to target the most remote and inconspicuous places!
The crown prince was protected like an iron barrel, so they attacked from other places. That's really ruthless!
"Prefect Liu isn't foolish enough to write the Crown Prince's symptoms directly on the medical record."
However, the Crown Prince often returned to the Eastern Palace to stay for two days, and Imperial Physician Liu would also prescribe some conditioning medicine for the Crown Prince based on the prescription given by the descendant of that divine physician.
What prescriptions were given and what medicines were used must all be recorded in the pulse diagnosis record.
The person who peeked at the medical records must have memorized the medication prescribed by Physician Liu.
"The people over there, by examining the properties of those medicines and where they are usually used, were able to deduce the true state of the Crown Prince's health!" Xiao Huaijin sighed more and more as he spoke.
If those people find out about this, who knows how many more problems will arise in the future!
The Crown Prince is loyal and righteous, and many people around him value him, giving others ample opportunity to take advantage of him.
“Your Highness, things aren’t that bad yet…”
Isn't there a saying that there's always a way out?
"The Crown Prince is of pure and kind nature, and loves the people. Heaven will certainly not treat him like this." Song Zhimian quickly comforted him.
Xiao Huaijin forced a smile.
He hoped so too; if he hadn't said he wanted to see the plum blossoms behind Bao'en Temple, his elder brother, the Crown Prince, wouldn't have been so provoked...
He always felt indebted to his elder brother, the Crown Prince...
"By the way! Your Highness, does that mean the person who attacked the young prince was actually one of the King of Wu's men, and the King of Zhao might not know that?" Song Zhimian asked Xiao Huaijin in a low voice.
Xiao Huaijin didn't speak, but he had an idea in his mind.
Xiao Huaizhun! He won't let him get away with this.
"Your Highness, please keep an eye on the King of Wu... but I always feel that the King of Wu and the King of Zhao are not of one mind."
"King Wu has many plans of his own," Song Zhimian reminded him.
Xiao Huaijin hummed in agreement, and then, realizing it was getting late, he got up.
"Song Zhimian! Anyway, thank you this time! I'll see what you said before, that you would be loyal to Jue-ge'er, sooner or later."
I saw it, and I believe you!
We will remember this kindness! Don't worry, your problems will be my problems from now on.
"I remember your grudge too!" Xiao Huaijin said earnestly.
Song Zhimian smiled. She still preferred to settle her own scores!
However, having allies might make things much easier!
King Xiao Huaizhun of Wu! You just wait, I'll deal with you sooner or later!
Song Zhimian subconsciously wanted to touch her back...
"Listen to the imperial physicians these days. Also, Lianqiao will be here to take care of you. Aunt Cui from the Inner Palace has already spoken with Chief Physician Liu."
Three female physicians were transferred from the Imperial Medical Academy to help, one of whom was Lian Qiao.
Song Zhimian, don't worry, I've already sent someone to Jiangnan to find the medicine to remove the scars.
I promise I won't leave you with any scars!
After saying this, Xiao Huaijin suddenly took two steps back, then respectfully bowed to Song Zhimin before turning and leaving.
Song Zhimian...
I almost reflexively jumped up and returned the courtesy after being greeted with such a grand gesture.
My back hurts a lot, otherwise I would have been incredibly embarrassed today.
When Xiao Huaijin left, he also took Princess Yongxin with him, telling her not to disturb Song Zhimin's rest.
After Lianqiao came in, she first checked the injury on Song Zhimin's back, and then gently applied ointment to Song Zhimin.
"Lian Qiao, why aren't you saying anything?" Song Zhimian tilted her head and glanced at Lian Qiao.
This sight was alarming; Lianqiao's eyes reddened again.
"You... I had no choice at the time!"
If Your Highness gets injured, won't I still die anyway?
"I'm just injured now, I'm still alive, aren't I?" Song Zhimian explained softly.
Lianqiao nodded.
She knew that whatever Song Zhimian did, she must have her reasons, and it was the most advantageous choice at the time.
But... this wound is so long, it must hurt so much!
"Lianqiao, do you think... I'll have a scar?" Song Zhimian quickly tried to change the subject.
Lian Qiao snorted and tightened her grip slightly.
"With me here, it's impossible for you to have a scar! How could I possibly let you have a scar!"
"I'll prescribe scar-reducing medication after your wound has healed!"
Song Zhimian's eyes lit up.
Oh my! Forsythia has this ability too! Not only can it concoct medicines to cure diseases and poisons to kill people, but it can also concoct medicines that prevent scarring!
"Do you know how to make an ointment that makes skin white, tender, and smooth?"
"meeting!"
"Do you know how to make an ointment that can make freckles disappear from people's faces?"
"meeting!"
"Then you will..."
"I can do anything, right? Just focus on recovering, and I'll make sure your back is back to normal." Lian Qiao said, gently pressing on Song Zhimian's back again.
Song Zhimian hissed and gasped.
There are so many forsythia plants! It would be such a waste to do nothing with them!
But the two of them couldn't leave; they had to stay in the palace...
When Princess Yongxin comes again next time, we'll have a proper discussion with her.
Perhaps there's a better way...
...
Inside the Hall of Diligent Governance, Emperor Xiao Xuan had been sitting on his throne for a long time.
He neither read the memorials nor summoned the ministers.
Zheng Wanwan had changed the tea that was served over and over again, but Emperor Xiao Xuan still didn't say a word.
Eunuch Xue also carefully served him from the side.
After a while, a bodyguard quietly entered.
"His Majesty!"
"Speak! What's the situation now?" Emperor Xiao Xuan asked expressionlessly.
"The people from Tianjin have returned, and the commoner Xiao Wangshi has drunk the poisoned wine and died."
Furthermore, the prince consort Tong Shiqing... may never be humane again!
Furthermore, it has been confirmed that the person who attacked the young prince today was sent by the King of Wu.
Those two were suicide squad members; they wouldn't survive regardless of whether they succeeded or not.
However, I haven't yet found out whether this matter is related to the King of Zhao.
"The King of Zhao and the King of Wu learned of the assassination plot together," the guard whispered.
Emperor Xiao Xuan's face darkened.
Did the fifth brother do it?
He really didn't expect that!
Does the King of Zhao really not know about this?
