Chapter 569: If you don’t succeed, you will die!
After King Xiling drank the medicine, he felt that the pain in his wound was relieved a little and his body had some strength.
He let out a long breath.
"Where's Manager Fang? How is he?"
Xie Chuxue answered truthfully: "He is still lying in bed. It seems that he will not be able to get up for a while."
King Xiling looked gloomy.
When Fang Wujiu and Concubine Xiao fought yesterday, he was not at the scene and did not see them fighting with his own eyes.
It was only after listening to the description of Qin Zhong and the guards that he learned the details of the fight between Fang Wujiu and Concubine Xiao.
He guessed that Manager Fang and Concubine Xiao might be old acquaintances.
"Did Manager Fang let Concubine Xiao go on purpose?"
Xie Chuxue had also thought about this. She frowned and said, "It shouldn't be the case. The sword wound that Manager Fang received was very deep. Even the doctor said that the other party was very ruthless and showed no mercy."
King Xiling did not trust Fang Wujiu very much, but now he really needed Fang Wujiu's help and advice.
He could only suppress his suspicions for the time being and continue to maintain his cooperative relationship with Fang Wujiu.
As for other things, I can pursue them slowly later when I have time.
King Xiling: "Have someone take out a top-grade Ganoderma lucidum from the storehouse and give it to Manager Fang to replenish his body. Whether it's healing medicine or food and clothing, Manager Fang must be treated well. He must feel our sincerity."
Xie Chuxue: “Yes.”
She personally delivered the top-quality Ganoderma lucidum to Fang Wujiu.
Fang Wujiu was lying on the bed, looking very weak.
"Thank you for your advice, Miss Xie. Please help me express my gratitude to the prince."
Xie Chuxue smiled gently and kindly: "Thanks to your medicine, the prince feels much better."
“This is what I should do.”
Xie Chuxue looked worried: "Your medicine can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. I wonder if Manager Fang has any method to completely cure the poison in the prince's body?"
Fang Wujiu shook his head: "Not yet."
That dagger was specially given to Xiao Xixi by the master for self-defense. The poison on the dagger was also made by the master himself. No one in the world can antidote this poison except the master.
If you want the antidote, you can only go back to Xuanmen and ask the master for help.
But before they left Xuanmen, the master said it very clearly.
"You cannot come back before the mission is over. If you come back early, it will be equivalent to automatically giving up."
Fang Wujiu cannot go back until the mission is completed.
If you don't go back, you won't get the antidote.
The medicine he prepared could only help King Xiling survive for another three months at best.
Fang Wujiu murmured.
"Only three months left..."
Xie Chuxue asked: "What do you mean three months?"
Fang Wujiu hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth.
After hearing what he said, Xie Chuxue was shocked and pale. She asked in disbelief, "You mean the prince only has three months left? How is this possible?!"
Fang Wujiu sighed, "I've tried my best. Three months is my limit. For the rest, I can only leave it to fate."
They had spent so much time planning for so long, and everything was going forward step by step as they had planned, but they did not expect that something unexpected would happen with Xiao Xixi.
No one could have imagined that she would dare to go deep into the tiger's den alone and kill King Xiling by herself.
Her move of cutting off the source of the problem was simple and crude, full of danger, but simple and effective.
As long as King Xiling dies, his men will be leaderless, and Qin Zhong will be unable to handle the situation alone, and their plans will fail.
Xie Chuxue stood up and ran hurriedly to find King Xiling.
When Prince Xiling learned that he only had three months left to live, he became angry and anxious. He raised his hand and swept the teacup on the low table beside the bed to the ground.
"How could this happen? I don't believe it, I don't believe it!"
Xie Chuxue said with red eyes: "I don't think Manager Fang is lying, and there is no need for him to lie to us."
How could King Xiling not know this?
But he didn't want to believe this cruel reality.
He is in his prime, ambitious, and ready to make great achievements. His wonderful life has just begun.
Tell him now that he has only three months to live.
How could he accept this?!
Xie Chuxue tried to ask, "Why don't we go to the palace and ask the imperial physician to take a look at you?"
Prince Xiling looked extremely unhappy: "No, once the imperial physician knows that I don't have much time left, the emperor will definitely take the opportunity to take away my throne and fiefdom."
According to the rules of the Great Sheng Dynasty, after the prince's death, the throne and fiefdom would be inherited by his son.
But King Xiling had no children, only an adopted daughter, Xie Chuxue.
Xie Chuxue is not qualified to inherit the throne.
Once he died, his throne and fiefdom would be taken back by the court.
From then on, the title of King of Xiling no longer existed in the world.
King Xiling's eyes were red, and there was a madness in them as if he was at the end of his rope.
"I'm going to die anyway, so instead of sitting and waiting to die, I might as well give it one last try."
"As long as I can become the emperor, I can use all the precious treasures in the world. I won't have to worry about not finding an antidote to the poison in my body."
When Xie Chuxue heard this, she was shocked: "Father, are you planning to take action in advance?"
King Xiling said fiercely: "I only have three months. This is our deadline. If we don't succeed, we will die!"
…
When Zhao Xian came back, he not only brought back two sets of clothes, but also a pair of chickens.
He put the two chickens on the ground.
"Your Highness, I bought this from a nearby farmer to nourish you and your concubine."
As soon as Xiao Xixi saw the chicken, she became excited.
She pounced on the two chickens and hugged them, saying happily.
"One for stewing, one for braising, perfect!"
Luo Qinghan asked: "Did you find out any news?"
Zhao Xian answered truthfully, "The city is very quiet, nothing special happened."
"Are there any moves from Prince Xiling and the Qin family?"
Zhao Xian still shook his head: "No."
Luo Qinghan was no exception to this result.
With the means of King Xiling and Qin Zhong, even if they really wanted to do something, they would not let anyone know.
"You go down first."
"Yes."
Xiao Xixi carried the two chickens to the kitchen.
Although the old eunuch's eyesight was not very good, he was very efficient and took care of the two chickens in no time.
He followed Concubine Xiao's instructions and stewed one and braised the other.
Because Xiao Xixi and the prince were both injured and needed to avoid certain foods, the old eunuch tried to use as little seasoning as possible. Fortunately, the ingredients were fresh enough and the dishes were still delicious.
Xiao Xixi was eating with her mouth full of oil, one bowl of rice after another.
Luo Qinghan couldn't help but say as he looked at how fast she ate.
"You should change your name. Don't call me Xiao Xixi. Call me Invincible Little Glutton."
Xiao Xixi raised her head from her rice bowl and chuckled, "That's fine, that sounds pretty cute, you little glutton!"
Luo Qinghan: "It's not invincible, it's bottomless, the bottom of a bottomless pit."
Xiao Xixi: “…”
