He Jiuniang's eyes curved into a smile, her tone exceptionally gentle: "Of course, it's the fairy sister who came to save your life~"
Crown Prince: ? ? ?
This guy, dressed in black, broke into the palace in the middle of the night. Not only did he come to take his life, but he also claimed to be there to save him.
The crown prince laughed instantly, thinking it was the funniest joke he had heard all year.
However, this woman had a graceful figure and a beautiful voice, but unfortunately, he was a dying man and there was nothing he could do.
Thinking of this, he felt a little regretful. If only he could see what she looked like, she must be a lovely beauty.
It must be said that the Crown Prince of the Eastern Court perfectly inherited the old emperor's qualities in this respect: he loves beautiful women. Even though he is in poor health and unable to perform sexually, it does not prevent him from liking beautiful women. Even if he does nothing, just looking at them is good.
Seeing that he didn't speak, He Jiuniang emphasized, "I really came to save you, don't you believe me?"
As she spoke, she very unceremoniously pulled his hand out from under the covers, took his pulse, and then lifted his eyelids to do a simple examination.
The examination method was similar to that of the imperial physicians, but He Jiuniang was not as careful as the imperial physicians. In fact, her movements were a bit rough, which hurt him.
But the Crown Prince remained silent, letting her do as she pleased. This was because when He Jiu Niang approached, he could smell a faint medicinal fragrance that made him feel comfortable, so he naturally didn't care about anything else.
After the examination, He Jiuniang said, "This is a disease you brought from your mother's body. To be precise, it should be poison. You were poisoned in the womb and have been suffering from it ever since, which is why you have always been sickly. As long as the poison is detoxified and you spend some time recuperating, you will be fine. Although you won't be in the same condition as a normal person, you can still maintain this condition for the rest of your life."
His body has been damaged since childhood, and some of the damage is irreversible, so he can only recuperate and not recover. But this is still much better than him being on the verge of death.
Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince lost all interest in appreciating beauty. He stared blankly at He Jiu Niang and asked, "Are you saying that my body can be cured?"
He instantly became excited; heaven knows how many years he had longed to hear those words.
I've seen countless doctors since I was a child, but none of them dared to say that my illness was curable. They all said that I wouldn't live past thirty, and that every day I live now is a reward for good deeds I did in my past life.
So even though he was made crown prince at a young age, his father was not worried at all about him doing anything out of line, and did not even think that he could pose any threat.
Because his father also knew that his life would be short, and that the position of crown prince was just a handout, so that he could experience the feeling of sitting in a high position while he was still alive.
But now, in the middle of the night, a woman suddenly barged in, examined him, and told him that his body could still be cured.
He Jiuniang nodded and said, "You're lucky to have met me; it might not have been the same for others."
As she spoke, she took out a small bottle from her bosom and tossed it to him, saying, "This is an antidote pill. Take one pill every day until it's finished."
Then he sat down at the table, took out paper and pen, quickly wrote down a prescription, and tossed it to him, instructing, "Have someone prepare the medicine according to this prescription and decoct it for you to drink. Drink it once in the morning, once at noon, and once in the evening every day. It would be best if you drank it for the rest of your life."
This is the prescription for recuperation, which contains very precious medicinal herbs. If it were someone else, they definitely wouldn't be able to afford it, but for the Crown Prince, it's just like eating ordinary meals. No matter how expensive it is, he can afford it, so she doesn't need to worry about it.
The Crown Prince excitedly took the two items, looked at He Jiu Niang, and asked, "Can these really cure my illness?"
"You don't have to believe it."
As He Jiuniang spoke, she walked around and asked, "I've done you a favor by treating your illness, so you should pay me a consultation fee, right?"
The prince had no time to think about those things, and didn't even suspect whether the bottle of pills was poisoned. He immediately took one and indeed felt that his breathing became much easier.
He became increasingly agitated and said, "Take whatever you like."
He Jiuniang had been waiting for these words. She immediately took out a large cloth bag and took away all the valuable trinkets in the bedroom. Of course, she also opened a small wooden box under the Crown Prince's guidance, which was full of priceless jewels.
The prince's intention was to let her choose a few things she liked, but she ended up taking the whole box with her.
Yes, I even like the box!
The prince watched, his heart aching unbearably, but if all of this could truly save his life, it would be well worth it.
After He Jiuniang finished her rounds, she prepared to leave. The Crown Prince was very anxious and asked, "I still don't know how to address you, young lady?"
"I'm the kind of person who does good deeds anonymously. If you absolutely have to leave a name, please call me Holy Mother."
After saying that, he disappeared in a flash.
The crown prince was stunned; this skill was simply too amazing!
As soon as He Jiuniang left, the palace servants who had been sleeping on the ground gradually woke up. When they saw that the Crown Prince had actually sat up and was staring blankly in the direction of the door, they hurriedly went forward to greet him.
"Your Highness, please lie down and rest!"
She was about to help him up when the Crown Prince said, "I'd like to sit down."
Finally, she added, "Just now, I saw a fairy."
Everyone: ? ? ?
What fairy could there be at this hour?
Could it be that the prince is nearing his end and has seen the Black and White Impermanence coming to claim his life?
Thinking about it this way, everyone felt a chill run down their spines and felt a little scared.
The Crown Prince, disregarding their thoughts, insisted on sending them all away. When he was alone, he spoke again: "Shadow."
Soon a man dressed in black appeared, knelt on the ground and begged for forgiveness: "Your Highness, please forgive me, I just fell asleep."
"It's alright."
He knew it was the fairy who had cast a spell, and even a master like Shadow couldn't avoid it.
"Make a copy of this prescription and have someone go and get it."
He kept the antidote pills himself, only handing out the prescription.
He now firmly believes that He Jiuniang is a fairy. Before she appeared, he felt that he had difficulty breathing and might not even see the sun tomorrow. But after taking a pill she gave him, not only did his breathing become smooth, but he was also able to sit up on his own and did not feel tired even after sitting for so long.
He could clearly feel his health improving.
This isn't medicine at all, it's a magic pill!
"Yes, I will take care of it right away."
Shadow stepped forward to take the prescription, and then instructed, "Be careful not to break it. After you've copied it, return the original prescription to me."
He naturally had to keep the recipe given by the fairy sister safe.
Shadow was somewhat surprised, but dared not ask any more questions. He was a bodyguard, and he would do whatever his master told him to do without asking any questions.
As soon as He Jiuniang left the Crown Prince's palace, she put the things she had taken into her spatial storage and happily went to the palace where the old emperor was resting.
It was already late at night, and even the old emperor, no matter how outrageous his behavior, had to go to sleep.
Sure enough, when she arrived, the old emperor of the Eastern Court was fast asleep, embracing a beauty. Both of them had flushed faces, indicating that their exercise had been quite thorough.
