Chapter 223 One Step Away
After the prince woke up, he was still very weak and had difficulty speaking.
The Queen Mother, the Emperor, Queen Qin, and Princess Hua'an did not want to say too much to him. They simply comforted him with a few words and then left one after another.
After they all left, Xiao Xixi slipped into the bedroom.
Luo Qinghan glanced at Mo Hua.
Mo Hua understood, and she quietly retreated with the palace maids and eunuchs.
Xiao Xixi sat down beside the bed, she looked at the prince's pale face and asked in confusion.
"Why did Your Highness suddenly faint?"
Luo Qinghan said weakly: "I ate all the Qi-deficiency pills you gave me yesterday."
Xiao Xixi was shocked.
The bottle of Qixu Pills she gave the prince yesterday contained exactly ten pills, and he actually ate them all in one go!
"You take so many medicines, aren't you afraid of hurting your body?!"
Although Qixu Pills will only make people feel weak for a short period of time and will not make people really sick, all medicines are toxic. If taken in excess, it will definitely harm your health.
No wonder the prince suddenly fell into a coma. He took so many Qi-deficiency pills in one breath, it would be strange if he didn’t fall into a coma!
Luo Qinghan's reaction was very calm: "I have to take a gamble. I have no other capital now. The only thing I can gamble is my life."
Xiao Xixi opened her mouth, wanting to say that he didn't need to work so hard.
But when she thought of his current situation, she couldn't say anything.
She originally chose the crown prince as the target of the mission because she felt that the crown prince was closest to the throne and that supporting him to ascend the throne should be the easiest, so she could spend less effort.
But after spending half a year together, she found that she had thought things were too simple.
The position of crown prince seems to be only one step away from the throne, but even this small step is like an insurmountable chasm.
He thought taking this step was harder than climbing to the sky, and if he was not careful he would be smashed to pieces.
Not to mention that there are so many people with bad intentions around him staring at him, intending to replace him.
If it were any other prince, he would have his mother's family to rely on, so he wouldn't have to fight alone. But Luo Qinghan couldn't do that, his mother had long since passed away, and Queen Qin seemed to be in the same boat with him, but in fact she didn't care about his feelings.
He has too few cards to play, so if he wants to take a chance, he can only fight with all his might.
Luo Qinghan said slowly: "Didn't you tell me before that everything has a price? If I want freedom, I have to pay the corresponding price. This is fair."
Xiao Xixi didn't expect that a casual remark she made would be remembered by the prince for so long.
She sighed, "You really took a risk this time. If something like this happens again in the future, please tell me in advance and I will do my best to help you."
Luo Qinghan agreed: "Okay."
Baoqin brought the freshly boiled medicine.
Xiao Xixi fed the prince mouthful by mouthful.
After this period of training, her medicine feeding skills have been maxed out and her movements are much more skillful than before.
After drinking the medicine, Luo Qinghan felt a little sleepy.
Xiao Xixi helped him lie down, covered him with a quilt, and then tiptoed out.
Mo Hua walked over quickly and whispered, "My lady, Concubine Bai and Chen Liangyuan are here. They said they are here to visit His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Your Highness has gone to bed. Let them come back another day."
"Yes."
Mo Hua walked out of the Linde Hall and conveyed Xiao Liangdi's words to Concubine Bai and Chen Liangyuan.
Concubine Bai pursed her lips and said, "Can I see Xiao Liang Di?"
"This servant needs to go ask for instructions. Please wait a moment."
The ink painting went in and came out again quickly.
She bowed and said, "Xiao Liang Di is busy now and cannot see you."
Before Concubine Bai could say anything, Chen Liangyuan could no longer stand and questioned angrily.
"She is just a concubine. Concubine Bai wants to see her, but she dares to refuse? Does she know the rules?!"
Prince: I am very delicate, please do not force me to marry, or I will faint in front of you! ╭(╯^╰)╮
