How could the news of Yun Chan contracting tetanus have leaked out?
Clearly, assassins entered Chaoyun Palace, and only Yun Chan and A Qi survived...
After that, all the staff were replaced by the Ninth Prince, and apart from that, only a few imperial physicians came and went in and out of Chaoyun Palace.
These people would never dare to disobey the Grand Eunuch and pass on messages to the outside world.
After all, if a spy is discovered, the consequences will be dire.
So……
Yuan Yao gasped.
There's one more possibility...
Did the people from Chu leave a backup plan when they assassinated Yun Chan?
Yun Chan contracted tetanus because it was an assassin sent by the State of Chu, who had planned it beforehand!
Treating a child like that is absolutely vicious!
Yuan Yao put down her spoon, frowned, and asked, "Father, have you thought about how to deal with the Chu envoy?"
She glanced at Xie Ning casually and saw him shake his head at her.
Yuan Yao understood what he meant.
Xie Ning was telling her not to tell the Ninth Prince that he was the one who cured Yun Chan's poison...
The Ninth Prince raised his hand to smooth Yuan Yao's brows and said with a smile, "You little dumpling, where do you get so much worry?"
Don't worry, I'll take care of everything.
You should just be a good boy, study every day, and think about what to eat and what to play...
After they had eaten their fill, the ministers discussed the matter and unanimously decided to arrest the Chu envoy!
Upon hearing this decision, the Ninth Prince wore a mocking expression: "Foolish."
A minister stepped forward and asked, "What insightful opinion does Your Majesty have?"
The Ninth Prince took a sip of tea, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Minister of Rites."
"Your humble servant is here." The Minister of Rites stepped forward with a forced smile and bowed.
The Ninth Prince coldly raised the corners of his mouth: "You are in charge of dealing with the Chu envoy."
Take all these people to the hot spring villa on the outskirts of the capital. Tell them that I will be hosting a banquet for the imperial relatives and officials' families in three days. Have them bathe and change clothes beforehand to ensure they are well-rested and ready to attend.
The Minister of Rites pondered for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "This humble official knows what to do."
Late that night.
The Minister of Rites led a group of imperial guards and took the Chu envoy by carriage to a hot spring villa on the outskirts of the capital...
It is said that as soon as the envoys stepped into the hot springs, people on the shore came and collected their clothes and personal belongings, and provided them with gorgeous robes and ornaments.
The Chu envoy was filled with resentment, yet there was nothing he could do...
The next day, when Yuan Yao heard about this, he found it quite amusing.
Now, the Chu envoy could no longer send a message!
Moreover, the Emperor provided them with hot springs, beautiful women, fine wine, and delicious food, treating them well. Even if one wanted to find fault, one couldn't...
Yuan Yao got up very early, put on a pure white flowing dress, tied her hair in two simple little buns, and took her palace exit token to find Yu'er.
Yu'er changed into a bright green casual dress and was directing the little eunuch to put food into the food box so that Yuan Yao could eat when he was hungry.
Upon seeing Yuan Yao, Yu'er smiled and said, "Your Highness has come at the perfect time. Let's have breakfast first."
Breakfast was milk and egg drop porridge.
After Yuan Yao finished the whole bowl of porridge with satisfaction, she called Xie Ning and said to Yu'er, "You brought people, go to the palace gate and wait for me. Sister Danqing and I will go to Chaoyun Palace first."
When the two arrived at the Pillow Star Palace, they happened to meet the imperial physician.
Upon seeing the two, the imperial physician said happily, "Your Highness has come at just the right time! Prince Yun's fever has subsided, and he even woke up once last night!"
I just fed him ginseng soup; I think he'll be fully awake today.
"Really? I'll go see him!" Yuan Yao happily lifted her skirt and ran quickly into the Pillow Star Palace.
In the blink of an eye, Yuan Yao had vanished without a trace.
The imperial physician chuckled, "Your Highness is too hasty. I haven't finished speaking yet..."
Xie Ning said gently, "Imperial Physician, may I speak with you in private?"
The imperial physician stopped smiling, his face showing suspicion: "Miss Danqing, is something the matter?"
Xie Ning smiled and said, "Please."
The two found a secluded pavilion and sat down.
Xie Ning took out a small porcelain bottle from his bosom and handed it to the imperial physician.
The imperial physician was taken aback for a moment and asked, "What is this?"
"To be honest, the medicine inside can heal Prince Yun's injuries in a short period of time," Xie Ning replied.
medicine?
The imperial physician was completely stunned: "How did Miss Danqing obtain this medicine?"
Xie Ning smiled and said, "Yesterday, after I escorted the princess to school, I went to do something for her. Unintentionally, someone led me there and gave me two bottles of medicine."
The man said he knew about the poisoning and injury of the young prince of Chu, and asked me to bring back medicine that could save the prince's life and avert this calamity for the emperor.
"Is this medicine really alright?" the imperial physician asked in surprise.
Xie Ning continued, "Yesterday, this servant gave the young prince the antidote for the Thousand Silk Inducing Poison, and the young prince indeed recovered..."
That person didn't want to reveal their identity, and my status as a servant is restricted. Therefore, I specially brought this medicine to you, Imperial Physician, today, hoping you will not tell His Highness that this medicine was given to me by me.”
The imperial physician hesitated for a long time, then gritted his teeth and took the medicine: "I understand..."
Pillow Star Palace.
As Yuan Yao entered the room, she saw Ah Qi sitting by the bed.
Hearing footsteps, Aqi turned around and said happily, "Your Highness, Princess Yuanyao has come to see you again!"
"Cough cough..."
A very low cough came from the bed.
Yun Chan woke up!
Yuan Yao happily ran to the bedside and stood on tiptoe: "Yun Chan, you're finally awake!"
Yun Chan moved slightly, turning her head to reveal her slender yet delicate profile.
Yuan Yao clung to the edge of the bed with her small hands, her toes constantly pointing upwards, looking somewhat strained.
Her radiant smile dazzled him.
Yun Chan coughed weakly and asked her, "Shall we come up?"
Um?
Where to?
Yuan Yao thought for a moment before realizing that Yun Chan had told her to sit on the bed because she was having trouble standing.
"Okay!" Yuan Yao happily kicked off her little embroidered shoes, grabbed the edge of the bed with her little hands, and stretched her short legs towards the bed.
Ah Qi was sitting far away, so it wasn't easy to help her up.
Seeing that she was struggling to climb, Yun Chan offered to help her.
Yuan Yao stopped him in time: "Lie down and don't move! I can do it myself!"
Yun Chan had no choice but to lie back down.
Yuan Yao climbed onto the bed and sat on the edge, stretching out her chubby little hand to cover Yun Chan's forehead.
A moment later, she exclaimed happily, "Finally, it's not hot anymore!"
Previously, Yunchan had been running a fever due to tetanus, which was quite worrying.
Yun Chan's ears turned slightly red as she changed the subject: "I heard something happened at the National Academy?"
"You found out too?" Yuan Yao asked, somewhat surprised.
It seems that the massacre of the National Academy by Prince Xuanping has become a serious incident...
Yun Chan pursed her lips: "Were you... scared?"
As soon as he woke up, Ah Qi told him everything he had heard.
He heard that yesterday, when the little guy in front of him attacked, he foolishly stepped forward and fought ten men single-handedly...
He heard that she was covered in blood...
Unfortunately, he was unconscious at the time and couldn't be by her side...
Yuan Yao was unaware of Yun Chan's deep thoughts. She happily said, "I'm perfectly fine. Everyone is protecting me!"
Oh! Speaking of which, I should go visit Xie Zhi and Lin Xuan; they're both injured.
She stopped smiling and frowned slightly.
Yun Chan: "..."
Yun Chan lowered her eyes, her voice turning cold: "A-Qi, escort the princess out!"
