"Can't...can't it be cured?"
Yuan Yao stared at the imperial physician in surprise.
He was brought by the Ninth Prince, so his medical skills must be superb. If he can't cure it, who can?
The Ninth Prince's eyes darkened slightly: "Even you can't cure him?"
The imperial physician was ashamed: "The poison in Prince Yun's body is probably quite old; his blood is full of toxic substances. If we rashly administer medicine, I'm afraid... he'll die even faster."
Is Yun Chan's body filled with poisonous blood?
He said he wasn't sick, but poisoned. Presumably, he should know what kind of poison he's been poisoned with.
Thinking it over, Yuan Yao said, "Could we wake Yun Chan up and ask him what kind of poison he was poisoned with?"
If we prepare an antidote according to the instructions for the poison, and the poison is neutralized, can we then use medication for tetanus?
The imperial physician wiped his sweat: "Logically speaking, what the princess said makes a lot of sense. However, by the time the official consort produces the antidote, I'm afraid the little prince won't be able to hold on until then."
"Useless!" The Ninth Prince finally lost his temper.
What a bunch of useless trash!
If Yun Chan had been more careful on the day he was injured, he wouldn't be in this situation today!
The imperial physician lowered his head and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, please calm your anger..."
"Calm down?" The Ninth Prince scoffed coldly. "Yun Chan's life is in your hands! If you kill him, you will be a sinner of the Great Qi Kingdom!"
Upon hearing this, the imperial physician was greatly alarmed: "Your Majesty!"
With a flick of his sleeve, the Ninth Prince picked up Yuan Yao and said, "Little Yao, let's go back to Qianhua Palace."
The imperial physician, quite old, knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, please don't! This humble official is truly powerless to help..."
No matter how much he shouted, the Nine Thousand Years Old did not leave a single word.
Upon leaving the Pillow Star Palace, the Ninth Prince coldly ordered his subordinates: "Block all news about the Chaoyun Palace. No one is allowed to enter or leave!"
If this gets out and reaches the State of Chu, it will be a real problem.
When I returned to Qianhua Palace, it was already late at night.
Yuan Yao was exhausted and worried about Yun Chan.
After washing up with the help of palace maids, she lay in bed and asked, "Father, now that Yun Chanruo is dead, will the Chu Kingdom attack us?"
The Ninth Prince patted her little head: "With Daddy here, Little Yao'er doesn't need to be afraid."
He told her not to be afraid, not that the State of Chu wouldn't attack...
This is really worrying!
Yuan Yao closed her eyes and fell asleep quickly because she was so tired.
She had a dream.
In her dream, she walked through the National Academy.
Ahead, a frail little figure coughed, covering his mouth, looking extremely weak.
Yuan Yao spoke up: "Yun Chan?"
The little figure turned around and said coldly, "Yuan Yao, save me."
Blood was flowing from his eyes, mouth, and nostrils.
"ah……"
Yuan Yao was startled awake.
When I opened my eyes, it was already broad daylight.
"Thank goodness... it was just a dream."
Yuan Yao rubbed her little head and said towards the door, "Someone come here."
It's already so bright outside, why isn't anyone waking her up for school?
Soon, Danqing led people in and rolled up the bed curtains: "Princess, His Highness said that you went to bed late last night, so you don't need to go to the National Academy today."
Normally, being able to take a day off should be a happy thing, but Yuan Yao couldn't be happy at all.
Forget it, staying in the palace is boring anyway, she might as well go to school...
Yuan Yao had someone bring over the school uniform, and while putting it on, she asked, "How is Yun Chan doing?"
Danqing said, "Someone from Chaoyun Palace came early this morning, saying that the young prince Yun's condition is not good."
Not good...
There's no news worse than this.
After having breakfast, Yuan Yao went to the National Academy in a bad mood.
She arrived late; the teacher had already been lecturing for half the day.
Jiang Chengyan glanced at her, then buried himself in his book.
Xie Zhi, however, tossed her a small note and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Yao'er, what exactly happened to Yun Chan?"
Yuan Yao shook her head at him: "He's fine."
The fact that the young prince of Chu contracted tetanus after being assassinated in the palace of Qi must not be spread, otherwise it may cause panic.
Although Yun Chan was not favored in the State of Chu, and many even wanted him dead, it was hard to guarantee that someone wouldn't use him as a pawn to incite war between the two states after learning of his experiences in the State of Qi...
Seeing that Yuan Yao refused to speak, Xie Zhi pouted and said, "Fine, I'll go see for myself later."
Yuan Yao remained silent.
The day's lessons were quite boring, and Yuan Yao didn't even know what the teacher had said.
After school, Xie Zhi came over and said, "Little Yao'er, do you want to ride a horse? I'll take you to the palace on horseback."
horse riding?
Yuan Yao perked up: "Okay!"
A horseback ride would probably lift your spirits, right?
"Let's go, let's ride horses!"
With that, Xie Zhi took Yuan Yao's hand and led her outside.
Yuan Yao has short legs and walks slowly.
Just as they reached the door, a figure squeezed past the two and strode away.
Xie Zhi looked at it and laughed in exasperation: "Lin Xuan, are you asking for a beating?"
Lin Xuan glared at the two of them and continued walking forward.
Xie Zhi's temper flared up immediately.
He released Yuan Yao's hand and chased after her, shouting, "Lin Xuan, stop! Let's go outside and fight!"
Yuan Yao: "?"
Didn't we say we'd take her horseback riding?
Xie Zhi is a liar!
"laugh……"
A sarcastic laugh rang out above Yuan Yao's head.
Yuan Yao looked up and saw that it was Jiang Chengyan.
She adjusted her hairband and clothes, and with her short legs, she said, "Get out of the way!"
Jiang Chengyan put his hands behind his back, taking advantage of his height, and looked down at her: "No."
Yuan Yao: "..."
She frowned and raised her head: "Your Highness, Second Prince, you weren't scolded enough last night, do you want me to make it up to you?"
"You..." Jiang Chengyan's face was full of suppressed anger as he glanced around. "You're coming with me!"
There are quite a few people at the school, so there are some things that are not appropriate to say here.
At this moment, Feng Xun walked over, her small frame blocking Yuan Yao's way, and looked at Jiang Chengyan with a warm smile: "Your Highness Chengyan, Princess Yuan Yao is still young. Why don't you say what you have to say here?"
Yesterday, he didn't have a chance to stand up for Yuan Yao.
Today, we must not let Jiang Chengyan bully Yuan Yao.
"Feng Xun?" Jiang Chengyan gritted his teeth and said, "Don't ruin my plans! Get out of my way!"
Feng Xun looked down at Yuan Yao: "Princess, you go back first. I'll hold off Cheng Yan for you."
Jiang Chengyan was so angry he gritted his teeth: "Feng Xun! Don't think I won't beat you up!"
Feng Xun smiled gently and obediently: "It's not impossible for my cousin to beat me up, but you'd better think carefully about how you'll explain it to my uncle if you do."
“You…” Jiang Chengyan pointed at Feng Xun’s nose.
Yuan Yao, standing nearby, suddenly realized.
She almost forgot that Feng Xun was born to the princess of Daqi who was sent to Xiqiu Kingdom for a political marriage!
Jiang Chengyan's father is his maternal uncle!
She smiled at Feng Xun: "Feng Xun, thank you. Yao'er will be going now!"
After speaking, she lifted her skirt and ran away as fast as she could.
Behind him, Jiang Chengyan was furious: "Yuan Yao, you stop right there..."
After leaving the National Academy, Yuan Yao didn't even look around before climbing directly onto the carriage.
The person inside the carriage was dressed entirely in white.
Upon seeing the person clearly, Yuan Yao froze completely: "You...you are..."
Xie Ning!
Xie Ning lowered his hood, revealing a full head of white hair, and smiled gently: "Yao'er, I am your uncle."
Yuan Yao opened her eyes wide warily: "Why are you in my carriage? Where is Danqing? Where did you put Danqing?"
Xie Ning chuckled softly and said gently, "Yao'er, don't be afraid, Danqing is safe. I came to find you only to make a deal with you."
If you agree, you'll soon be able to see Miss Danqing.
