Chapter 50: A Heart-Protecting Pill
The Five Poison Powder is a banned item in Qingyun Country, and actually, it is also banned in the five countries.
Because once this thing is inhaled, it will make people feel ecstatic and forget all their worries, but it will also make people addicted and turn them into people who lose their will because of it.
Once you take too much, you will lose your mind and your behavior will be unpredictable.
Although it is a banned substance, it is still very popular among the kids from wealthy families, who would occasionally get some in private to relax themselves.
"There's something wrong with this guard's eyes." Some brave young men helped to check the guard.
"This one too, the eyes are very red, they all took the Five Poison Powder."
Everyone looked at each other, and Zhuo Yu immediately said, "The prince is still alive, but I don't know if he can be saved. These injuries should have been caused by fighting with the guards."
"How do you know the prince was fighting with the guards? And not with outsiders?"
"Look at these wounds, the weapons around them, and why didn't they scream if they were outsiders?" Zhuo Yu said, "The prince must have lost his mind, and the guards were afraid of being found out, so they kept silent."
Everyone immediately understood that although this place was a bit far from Jiutian Pavilion and the shore where the Gu sisters fell, if someone screamed, they would be able to hear it.
But no one heard any sound from here, and everyone thought that the prince was resting and having lunch here.
"Doctor, please think of a way quickly and save the prince first." Mo Yunzhu hurriedly said to the frightened old doctor.
She didn't want the prince to die, but she also didn't expect the prince to eat so much.
The old doctor came to his senses immediately, and after another trembling examination, he said, "My medical skills are limited, and I really cannot save His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Do your best to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Go and get the imperial physician."
"We have already gone to invite him." Wang Feiyang said immediately, "Miss Dai and the others fell into the water and needed a doctor to see them, so someone went to invite the doctor earlier."
Zhuo Yu glanced at Mo Yunzhu's anxious expression and said, "It will be troublesome if she can't be saved."
"Yeah, it's really urgent. How about you go and bring the doctor over?" Mo Yunzhu said, "Hurry up."
Zhuo Yu was stunned for a moment and was about to ask, "Don't you know medical skills?"
"Prince Lan has arrived!"
The crowd suddenly parted. The handsome Prince Lan now looked pale and cold. When he saw the Crown Prince lying down, he immediately asked angrily, "What's going on?"
Some people started to talk about what they saw. In fact, Hao Jiang had already told Jun Huo Lan.
"Prince Lan, the key now is to save the prince."
"I know a little about medicine. Let me take a look." Prince Lan squatted down with the help of the guards. One of his legs was inconvenient, so his squatting posture was weird. Fortunately, his outer robe was long and covered it a little.
"The prince inhaled the Five Poison Powder, and he bled too much from external injuries. He still has signs of life, but they are very weak." Mo Yunzhu told Jun Huolan.
"I have another heart-protecting pill here, feed it to you." Jun Huolan took out a jade bottle.
"Prince!" Mo Yunzhu grabbed the medicine bottle, "This is your life-saving medicine. You gave it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what about you?"
Everyone saw clearly the frightened look on Mo Yunzhu's face, and they also knew that Prince Lan's health was really poor.
"Saving the prince is important. If anything happens to the prince, everyone here today will be punished." Jun Huolan's words immediately moved countless people.
"But, but your body..."
"Yun Zhu, saving the prince is important. If the prince dies, I might be buried with him." Jun Huolan's words made people feel nervous.
But once you think about it, everyone understands.
Prince Lan was not favored. When he returned from being a hostage for ten years, he had no support from the court. The crown prince was dead, and he was on the island. The emperor and empress were grieving the loss of their son, so they might very well target this unfavored son.
"I understand." Mo Yunzhu handed the medicine bottle to the doctor. The doctor opened it and smelled it, then nodded and said, "Good medicine."
Then he fed the medicine to the prince, and someone brought water to the doctor so that he could drink the medicine.
"Doctor, please help my second sister, what's wrong with her?" Mo Yunzhu still wanted to play the role of a loving sister.
The old doctor came to Mo Huaiqing, took her pulse and said, "This young lady is not seriously injured. She must have been shocked and fainted. I will give her a few injections and she will wake up."
"Thank you, doctor." Mo Yunzhu thanked him quickly.
The old doctor took out a silver needle and began to give Mo Huaiqing an acupuncture treatment. Everyone watched, and some women were so frightened that they cried.
They were all terrified. They didn't expect to encounter so many terrible things during their rare trip out.
Gu Wanwan had her head smashed, Zhang Fengyi killed Chen Xiner's maid Yan Zi, and also had an affair with the guards, which was immoral.
The prince and his guards inhaled the Five Poison Powder without controlling the dosage, which caused them to go mad and kill each other.
Today was supposed to be a good day, how come it suddenly turned into hell?
Everyone was in a panic and could only huddle together, not daring to leave.
After the prince took the pill, his breathing stabilized and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Prince Lan's heart-protecting pill was really a good thing.
This time Prince Lan really saved the prince's life, and everyone was grateful to Prince Lan for a moment. After all, if anything happened to the prince, they were afraid that none of them would escape punishment.
Mo Huaiqing woke up slowly. She looked up at the blue sky in front of her. The sunlight was so bright that she couldn't open her eyes.
"Second sister, second sister, are you okay?" Mo Yunzhu's concerned voice rang out.
Mo Huaiqing came back to his senses immediately, and then thought of the scene he had seen before. He screamed in fright and sat up.
"Second sister, don't be afraid! Everything is fine." Mo Yunzhu immediately grabbed her wrist to prevent her from escaping.
Mo Huaiqing finally calmed down, but the fear on his face was still there.
"Miss Mo, what happened here?"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness!" Mo Huaiqing finally saw the Crown Prince lying motionless on the ground. Seeing the blood all over his body, she screamed and rushed over.
Zhuo Yu pushed her away and said in a deep voice: "The prince's life is at stake, are you trying to kill him?"
Mo Huaiqing immediately fell to his knees on the ground, crying and mumbling, "How could this happen? How could this happen?"
"Miss Mo Er, what is going on? You must have seen something, please tell us quickly." Everyone was curious.
Mo Huaiqing cried very sadly. After all, if anything happened to the Crown Prince, her dream of becoming the Crown Princess would never come true.
"I, I don't know. I, I came to look for the prince, but after I came in, before I even entered the house, I saw the prince rushing out with a knife. I was very scared and wanted to run away. I don't know who knocked me out. Hey, where's Hongdou?"
Mo Huaiqing turned around to look for Hongdou and soon saw that she had died. He immediately cried even louder.
"Did you see the prince come out with a knife?"
"Yes, the prince seemed to be very abnormal. He looked at me as if he didn't recognize me. His eyes were very red, as if he was stimulated by something. Big sister, I, I didn't lie." Mo Huaiqing cried very sadly.
"Okay, don't get excited for now. Someone from the Ministry of Justice will be here soon, and the truth will surely come out." Mo Yunzhu patted her back and comforted her.
