When An Qingran arrived at the Imperial Hospital, the doctors were surrounding Dongfang Jin, sweating profusely. An Qingran rushed forward and held Dongfang Jin's hand: "Prince..."
Dongfang Jin's face was burning like fire, and her body was also burning, just like the first time they were poisoned in the cave. An Qingran looked at her and grabbed Eunuch Huang beside him: "What's going on? Why is the prince like this? Who poisoned him?"
"Crown Princess, I don't know either. The Crown Prince was attending court, and then he fell to the ground and became like this. The Emperor was also frightened and immediately ordered a thorough investigation, but the Queen Mother was half unconscious and there was no way to find out what he had eaten or drunk before. I am also waiting for news here, and the Emperor is also waiting for news. What should we do..."
Eunuch Huang looked anxious and clapped his hands. The fly swatter in his hand fell to the ground. He didn't pick it up, but just looked at An Qingran, hoping that she had a solution.
In the direction up?
An Qingran looked at Doctor Zhang: "Is there any way? What kind of poison is the prince infected with?"
Doctor Zhang shook his head: "The prince is not poisoned again, the poison in his body is just acting up."
"Poison? Is there a way? Is there a way?"
"Princess Consort, please be at ease. This poison has been with the prince for more than ten years. I didn't expect it to break out in such a concentrated manner. I don't know what's going on. This..." Doctor Zhang said as he sat down beside the bed and began to check on the prince's condition. An Qingran was standing beside her. She clasped her hands together and moved her feet left and right. Her worry was beyond words.
Dongfang Jin clenched his eyes tightly, blocking the medicine that the imperial physician poured into his mouth. Not a single drop of it could enter. Someone pinched his chin, but it was as hard as iron. How could it be opened?
An Qingran held his hand and whispered, "I'm here, don't worry, just take the medicine."
There was no response. An Qingran couldn't help but think of the time when he was in her room and the time when the poison attacked her and she almost strangled Rendong to death. Now his poison attack was even more serious than that time. It was really strange. She had clearly cleared most of the poison from him. Could it be because of his recent intimacy with her?
An Qingran couldn't help feeling guilty when she thought of this, but she felt a force on her hand. At this moment, Dongfang Jin opened his eyes hazily, smiled weakly at her, and then fainted again, but his hand was still holding her tightly, as if he would not let go until death.
An Qingran's eyes were sore, and tears fell onto her clothes and onto Dongfang Jin's hands. His hands moved again, and An Qingran heard the doctor's words at this moment: "No, this medicine is too strong."
"But the previous formula can only prolong life, I'm afraid it can't detoxify."
"What should we do? We might as well use some strong medicine, but I'm afraid the prince's body can't handle it."
An Qingran suddenly stood up and said, "Someone, send the prince back to the East Palace."
"Crown Princess, what are you doing..."
The imperial doctors looked at each other in bewilderment.
An Qingran smiled, tears still hanging on her face: "I forgot, I can save him myself."
Everyone then realized, "Yes, the Crown Princess is a master who specializes in treating all kinds of difficult diseases. How could we have forgotten?"
Some of the imperial doctors were embarrassed, while others were relieved. As long as the prince's life was not in danger, it would be a good thing no matter who saved him.
An Qingran hated herself for being so stupid along the way.
After returning to the East Palace, she immediately ordered Ren Dong to prepare hot water and herbs. She pulled out the silver needle herself and looked at Dongfang Jin. An Qingran smiled bitterly, but after checking, she smiled immediately: "No matter who caused you to poison, this is also a help to you. I can finally clean up the last remaining poison in you... Ren Dong, add vinegar to the hot water, and add two more herbs."
Honeysuckle came in, An Qingran said two names, and then Honeysuckle left. The entire East Palace began to get busy. The emperor also asked the Imperial Hospital to move all the precious medicinal materials in the hospital and pile them outside, with boxes on the left and boxes on the right, like a small mountain.
An Qingran didn't want anyone to disturb her, and Rendong didn't tell him either, so she just piled the herbs randomly. When the concubines from the harem came to check, they only saw the pile of herbs in the yard. Their faces turned pale before they even entered the house. They didn't know how sick the prince was and whether he was really beyond saving.
Concubine Shu, Concubine Xian and others also sent people to check, but they didn't see anyone either. After their palace maids told them about it, the two of them felt different, but at the same time they were very happy. The poison in the prince had finally taken effect. He had lived for so many years, and now the poison had finally taken effect. They had been waiting for this day.
Murong Lan ran into the house anxiously: "Queen Mother, the prince's poison has taken effect."
She looked anxious.
The Queen Mother was also stunned when she heard this: "How could it be? The prince has always been fine. Although he is a little weak, he has survived all these years. I haven't heard of him getting sick in these years. Go and check it out. If there is any situation, inform me. This matter cannot be taken lightly. Also, what medicine does he use? I still have some in the palace. Give it to him first."
"Yes, Queen Mother, Lan Xin will go right away." Murong Lan Xin took the medicine found by the nanny and left quickly.
The Queen Mother looked at her figure and sighed.
An Qingran placed all the silver needles in front of her and disinfected them. Then, she looked at Dongfang Jin, who was as red as a charcoal. She took a deep breath. She was afraid of making mistakes in the chaos. She had forgotten in her haste that she could save Dongfang Jin. Fortunately, she remembered it.
While thinking, she quickly inserted the silver needles into the ten major acupoints of his body, and then according to the method of her cousin's instructions, she inserted fifty-six more acupoints. Soon, Dongfang Jin was covered with needles, like a hedgehog. An Qingran sat there and breathed a sigh of relief. Rendong hurriedly handed over a handkerchief. An Qingran's forehead was full of sweat. She took the handkerchief and wiped Dongfang Jin first. His lips were already chapped. She gently wiped the sweat from his forehead. Dongfang Jin suddenly opened his eyes with vigilance in his eyes, but when his eyes fell on An Qingran's face, the vigilance disappeared and he closed his eyes quietly. An Qingran held his hand and whispered, "I'm here."
His lips moved, but no sound came out, and he smiled, then fell into coma again.
Just as An Qingran was about to speak, the emperor quietly walked in. An Qingran wanted to stand up and salute, but the emperor signaled her not to. "How is the prince?"
The emperor's eyes were filled with worry.
"The poison in the prince's body has been triggered, and this time it's more serious than usual. But fortunately, I took the opportunity to remove the remaining poison. However, the prince's poisoning this time is really suspicious. After the prince wakes up, I will check what he ate and drank." An Qingran said simply.
The emperor heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this. He sat aside, looking at Dongfang Jin. In his eyes there was worry and love. He couldn't imagine what he would do if something really happened to the prince.
The emperor left quickly, and his eyes showed trust in An Qingran when he left.
night.
Dongfang Jin woke up and found himself in the bathtub. Confused for a moment, he saw An Qingran sleeping soundly leaning on the edge of the bathtub.
As soon as he moved, An Qingran woke up suddenly: "Dongfang Jin...you're awake?"
She jumped up happily and put her fingers on his wrist. After a moment, her face was full of joy: "Good news."
"All the remaining poison has been removed, right?" Dongfang Jin stood up, and An Qingran immediately pulled a robe over and handed it to him. Dongfang Jin deliberately walked slowly, with a strange smile on his face. He did not take the robe, but just stretched out his hand to hug An Qingran tightly across the bucket. It was the kind of hug that survived a disaster: "You know what? Before I passed out, I was thinking, I'm afraid I will never see you again, and you will be left alone, what should I do?"
An Qingran's nose felt sore.
"It was just that I held your hand and told myself that I couldn't give up."
"Okay, let's talk about this feeling later. I want to ask you, what did you do before you went to court? Did you practice too hard?"
Dongfang Jin knew what she meant, so he thought about it carefully: "I didn't practice today, so it shouldn't be because of the practice..."
Dongfang Jin was thinking carefully about what went wrong.
Seeing that she was confused for a moment, An Qingran pulled his hand and made him sit on the bedside. She gently wiped his black hair with a cotton towel and said softly, "In the morning, it was Honeysuckle who served us meals. There will be no problem. Then where did you go? Who did you meet?"
Dongfang Jin frowned slightly and thought for a moment: "When I got up early, I went to the Imperial Garden and met Dongfang Yan and Dongfang Ye. They were polite and we talked a little..."
"Wait, they didn't do anything strange? Like waving a fan in front of you, or flicking their sleeves or something like that?" An Qingran was meticulous and thought a lot.
Dongfang Jin glanced approvingly at An Qingran after hearing this: "Qingqing is indeed thoughtful, but I have also thought about it, and there is really nothing special about them."
Hearing him say that he was considerate, An Qingran felt sad: "When you got sick, I was confused. You didn't know that when you were in the Imperial Hospital, I kept asking the imperial physician to save you, but you didn't know that only I knew the way to save you..."
His voice was thin, his hands paused, his nose felt sore, Dongfang Jin turned around and held her in his arms: "I understand, Qingqing."
The fear of loss once again gripped the hearts of the two people. At this moment, the room was silent except for the popping of candles. An Qingran quietly counted his heartbeats and thought, how nice it would be if time stopped at this moment and they didn't care about anything. It would be great if they were just the two of them.
But he took a deep breath, smiled and straightened up: "I haven't finished talking yet. If we continue at this speed, we won't be able to figure out a clue tonight. Think about it again. Where did you go next? Who did you meet again?"
Dongfang Jin smiled. He kissed An Qingran on the lips, which was a little cold. Then his eyes became serious. "Next, I went to the Ministry of War and said a few words. I didn't even go in. The man didn't look suspicious. He was three steps away. Later, I went to the Ministry of Rites and then the Ministry of Personnel..."
"You failed to inspect the six ministries. I didn't know you did so many things in the morning." An Qingran found it funny. She really didn't know he did so many things in the morning.

Prince Jin half leaned against the head of the couch, squinting his eyes: "Please give me your monthly votes. It's the end of the month. Girls who still have votes, please give them to me as soon as possible!"
