Chapter 220 The Third Prince Dreams of a Mysterious Woman
Liu Yiyi and Su Wan'er filled a basin with hot water and wiped the Third Prince's body on the sickbed.
Just as I was about to remove the towel from his forehead, my wrist was gripped tightly by a large hand.
Liu Yiyi groaned in pain, "Hiss~"
The third prince opened his eyes, his gaze filled with wariness. He tightened his grip on her hand as if he wanted to break it, exuding a fierce aura. He asked in a deep voice, "What do you want now?"
He remembered that he was still somewhat conscious when he was poisoned and fell into a coma.
They haphazardly stuffed all sorts of antidote pills into his mouth.
He refused to eat, so they pried open his chin and forced him to swallow water.
They must have wanted to kill him; it's a miracle he's still alive.
Those two damned bastards must have been bribed to betray him.
Liu Yiyi's eyes reddened, and tears welled up in her eyes. "Your Highness, I only wanted to change your towel, I didn't mean to do anything to you. You let go, and it hurts so much..."
"Your Highness, please let go of Sister Liu first." Su Wan'er saw that her good friend's face had turned pale with pain, so she rushed over and pried the Third Prince's hands off, then slammed her elbow into the Third Prince's chest.
He had just been poisoned and his body hadn't fully recovered. He had been holding on for fear that someone would harm him, but when she flung him off, he fell back onto the bed, turned slightly, and spat out a mouthful of blood, "Pfft!"
Afraid of being sprayed on her face, Su Wan'er pulled Liu Yiyi back, but lost her balance and fell to the ground. Before she could pull her feet back, blood still sprayed onto her skirt.
The third prince had a very long dream in which he was being besieged and pursued by enemy troops, and a woman appeared with a group of people to save him.
After he ascended the throne, some of his military generals betrayed him, stormed the palace, and imprisoned him. It was that woman who saved him again.
She remained loyal to him, drew away his pursuers, and would not betray him even if she were captured herself.
Only Yun Jiaoyue was devoted to him; she was definitely not one of these two concubines who even despised his blood.
He vomited blood by the bedside, "Cough cough... Someone! Someone, Yue'er, bring her to me..."
He wiped the blood from the corner of his lips with a white cloth that had fallen from his forehead to his chest.
The two men got up from the ground and helped him up, one on each side. "Your Highness, you're feeling weak. Please sit down and rest. We'll go and have the guards fetch a doctor for you..."
The Third Prince showed no gratitude whatsoever, shoving the woman aside with both hands. "Get out! You wretch! You're all here to harm me, get out! Don't touch me, let Yue'er come here..."
Hearing the commotion, the guards and maids waiting outside burst through the door, "Your Highness..."
"Throw these two out."
Liu Yiyi was hurt by his attitude and lay on the ground sobbing and wiping away her tears, "Your Highness, even if you want the Princess Consort to serve you, she can't serve you anymore."
"What does this mean? She's dead? Who killed her? Tell me!"
The Third Prince bent down and grabbed Liu Yiyi's neck with his large hand.
"Uh..."
Liu Yiyi was choked and couldn't speak. She reached out to grab Su Wan'er next to her, hoping she would save her.
Su Wan'er crawled on her knees and grabbed the Third Prince's wrist, pleading for her: "Your Highness, she is not dead. While you were sick, she still had the mind to make things difficult for the head of the garrison, Lao Liao, and tried to kill him. She also offended Princess Zhaoxue and was almost strangled to death by her."
"Your Highness, please release Sister Liu! Her father is a fifth-rank official. Killing her will make you an enemy of the Liu family! You can't kill her! Please release her, release her!" Su Wan'er rushed in.
The Third Prince's cold eyes swept over the guards beside him, and only after receiving confirmation did he throw Liu Yiyi aside, "Get out! All of you, get out..."
Su Wan'er helped Liu Yiyi, who was still coughing on the ground, and the two of them scrambled out of the room.
The guard closed the door.
The Third Prince sat back on the bed and said softly, "Come out."
A dark figure descended from the rooftop, his face covered except for his eyes. He knelt on one knee and said, "Your Highness, I have investigated thoroughly. The person who injured you is the imposter who impersonated Physician Hua. He was Shi Qianjiu, a disciple of Medicine Ghost Valley. More than twenty years ago, he was expelled from the sect for practicing evil arts. Last month, the Second Prince invited him to his residence and treated him as an honored guest, and even bestowed upon him several large houses, gold, and silver treasures."
"Furthermore, the real Divine Physician Hua is also in Changlin County. The two sides will fight to the death tomorrow."
"Send someone to invite Physician Hua to treat me,"
The third prince put on an outer garment and went next door.
Yun Jiaoyue had already heard the commotion. After tidying herself up, she had her maid help her over. Because of her leg injury, she walked with a limp. When she saw her beloved standing in front of her, alright, her eyes reddened, and she threw herself into his arms, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Your Highness has woken up, and I'm so relieved. I'm so glad Your Highness is alright, otherwise I wouldn't want to live anymore. No matter where you are, I will never leave you, sob sob..."
His chest was soaked with tears.
"Waaaaah..."
"Alright, stop crying, I'm fine."
The third son raised his hand to wipe away her tears.
Yun Jiaoyue sniffed. "Mmm."
The two went inside to talk.
"Your Highness, I've heard the people talking about how Doctor Hua is in Changlin County. Could you please ask him to treat my mother? My mother was injured by Xiao Xuance's hidden weapon while trying to avenge me. The doctors said that her tendons have been severed and they can't treat her. Only Doctor Hua can."
"I have already sent someone to invite Physician Hua."
Last night, someone blew sleeping gas into his room, but his bodyguard reminded him, which prevented him from being drugged.
A white snake, thicker than his arm, broke through the window and entered.
He drew his sword to confront the snake, but was no match for it. As a result, the snake bit his arm, and his bodyguards arrived in time to save him.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
"Let him treat me first, and then ask him to treat your mother as well."
"Your Highness, is there anything else that's bothering you? I'll give you my blood to drink right now. Old Liao has been saved after drinking my blood."
"Perhaps there are still toxins remaining in my body. I will only feel at ease if I can have a divine physician take a look."
"Hmm." Yun Jiaoyue clearly sensed the change in the Third Prince's attitude towards her.
The Third Prince hadn't been this kind to her since they got married. He must have been moved by her risking her life to save him to treat her so well.
She was born with the destiny of a phoenix, a true woman of destiny. Heaven was kind to her, and when her life was in danger, a bolt of lightning struck down and cleared her name.
She will one day become the empress, second only to the emperor.
So what if Yun Zhaoxue is beautiful? So what if men like her? She will only be despised by the world for not being a virtuous woman.
If she dares to touch me again, she'll definitely be struck by lightning.
The guards sent by the Third Prince to invite Hua Murong to the estate were driven out by the Pei family guards before they even saw him.
The third prince ordered the guards to increase the payment from one hundred taels to five hundred taels, and to give another five hundred taels after the treatment was completed.
This time, the other party was rude and said there was no point in talking unless there was one million taels.
The Third Prince was furious. "One million taels? What a boastful tone!"
Yun Jiaoyue advised her, "Your Highness, please don't be angry. I've heard that this divine physician has an eccentric temper. There's an old saying about visiting a thatched cottage three times. Let me give it a try. I'll move him with my sincerity and I'm sure I can get him to treat Your Highness and your mother."
Half an hour later.
Yun Jiaoyue actually managed to bring the divine physician back. "Divine Physician Hua, His Highness is upstairs. Please follow me upstairs."
"The Divine Physician Hua" raised his hand to stroke his beard. "Alright, please!"
