Chapter 234 Secret Talk
"Your Highness, the imperial physician is here." Jingyun reported.
After calming down, Huo Yuchen said calmly, "I have already treated Pian Pian's wounds. Please ask the imperial physician to check on the injured brothers!"
"Yes, Your Highness."
Then two footsteps of varying heaviness were heard, gradually moving away.
Lin Pianran only remembered at this time that she didn't know whether Huo Yuchen was injured.
She hurriedly checked his entire body and asked with concern, "Your Highness, are you hurt?"
"By the way, has the goal been achieved?"
Huo Yuchen waved his hand and said in a light tone, "I am not injured. With my current skills, it is difficult for ordinary people to get close to me."
"Huo Qing has been rescued, but he's been poisoned by a strange poison. He has many festering wounds on his body. He's emaciated and no less emaciated than the refugees. In short, his condition is extremely serious."
After hearing this, Lin Pianran was extremely angry. Even a tiger won’t eat its own cubs!
The King of Zhao treated his own son so coldly and mercilessly.
This also indirectly confirmed her guess that Prince Zhao was not as righteous as he appeared, and Prince Zhao's Mansion was not as simple as it seemed.
There must be a huge secret hidden.
Huo Yuchen spoke again, "I guess those people in Prince Zhao's mansion have been hoping Huo Qing would die for a long time, that's why they treat him so humiliatingly. In his courtyard, there is only one servant taking care of him."
"When I rushed over, the servant was fast asleep and didn't care about Huo Qing's life or death at all."
"Huo Qing has already been in a coma. According to the imperial physician, if he doesn't receive prompt treatment, he won't survive for more than a few days."
"Luckily, Pian Pian came up with the idea of stealing the person and rescued him. Otherwise, Huo Qing really wouldn't see the sun tomorrow."
There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone, as well as sympathy and helplessness for Huo Qing's situation.
Come to think of it, he and Huo Qing really share the same suffering!
Both Huo Qing and he had an extremely vicious father, and both had been poisoned and almost died.
They were all able to escape death thanks to Pianpian's help.
Thinking of this, Huo Yuchen's gaze towards Lin Pianran became even gentler.
"I have already asked a very skilled imperial physician to treat Huo Qing. I hope he can survive!"
"However, the imperial physician has no idea how to cure the poison in Huo Qing's body. It seems very difficult to cure."
"Don't worry, I still have the 'Hundred Poison Pills', I hope it can cure the strange poison in his body."
After saying that, Lin Pianran took out a small porcelain bottle from her sleeve, which contained a pill. She handed it to Huo Yuchen without hesitation.
"Hurry up and have someone deliver it to him! If he eats it sooner, he can recover sooner and suffer less."
Huo Yuchen took the medicine bottle, his face full of joy, and quickly walked outside.
Seeing Jing Feng standing at the door of the wing room, he handed the medicine bottle to him and said, "Hurry up and send this 'Hundred Poison Pill' over. Have Huo Qing take it immediately."
Jingfeng took the order and left, not daring to delay for even a moment.
At this time, it was already very late at night. The two of them washed up hastily, lay down together in their clothes, and fell asleep.

On the other side, in King Zhao’s study.
The King of Zhao, his sons and his two sons sat together with stern expressions.
Huo Duan looked dejected. "Father, who could possibly have such a deep hatred for us that he would kill over two hundred of our secret guards in one go? It's so fucking frustrating."
"This massacre came so suddenly that it was impossible to cope with it and it was impossible to prepare for it."
"For so many years, our Zhao Palace has been peaceful and sound. Suddenly, there's been a disturbance. I feel like this is a bad sign."
Huo Mao glanced at his brother and said coldly, "It was just a small battle! A few hundred people died, what does that matter? To us, it's not even worth mentioning."
"For so many years, we have been accumulating strength in secret, so we don't have to worry about the problem of manpower."
"Given my father's lofty status in the Great Qin Dynasty, apart from the one who sits on the throne, who among the other nobles would dare to act rashly in his presence?"
"We just need to make sure that Emperor Wu of Qin and the other princes don't become suspicious, and everything will be fine."
Huo Duan disagreed with his opinion and thought it would be better to be cautious and not expose the strength of Prince Zhao's Mansion.
"As for the group of men in black who appeared tonight, we cannot completely underestimate them. We still need to investigate their background."
"I'm always worried that it was someone sent by the Emperor and the Crown Prince. If it was really them, then they must be suspicious of our Zhao Palace. From now on, we must be cautious and behave ourselves."
Huo Mao retorted, "I heard the old emperor hasn't been in good health lately. The Pingcheng disaster has had a significant impact on his health. I went to the palace to see him the day before yesterday, and I felt that he had aged greatly, and his energy and spirit were not good. He looked very sick."
"In this way, our long-term planning will finally see the light of day, and the throne will soon be ours."
Huo Mao's eyes and eyebrows were full of excitement.
King Zhao frowned, picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip of tea.
The worry on his face was evident.
Then he slowly spoke, "Huo Qing is missing. This matter seems strange in every way. Could it be that those men in black came here specifically to rescue a dying man? What are they trying to do?"
"Besides, Huo Qing knows nothing about our plans and actions. Even if we rescue him, he won't survive. Why bother mobilizing hundreds of people to rescue him?"
"This matter is really incomprehensible."
Huo Duan quickly took over the conversation and said, "I think those men in black didn't come for Huo Qing, but for the jewelry in our warehouse. They took advantage of the chaos and moved a warehouse full of treasures from our house."
"But where did they move all the treasures from? How could they move all of them in more than half an hour?"
"Besides, there are so many people coming and going in our house, and I haven't seen anyone taking advantage of the chaos to move things!"
Prince Huo Rong of Zhao looked puzzled.
Yes! What on earth is going on?
Everyone was puzzled.
"However, we did discover a thief who took advantage of the chaos to break into the palace's backyard. He was said to be dressed in a maid's attire. He not only killed several maids and nannies, but also stabbed Princess Qinghe. But she was alone, a woman, so how much trouble could she possibly cause?"
"Luckily, she was lucky enough to escape through a side door and kill several of our guards."
"Otherwise, wouldn't it be easy to catch such a petty thief?"
