Chapter 9 Bet, the Queen Can't Protect You
"Bang!"
Before Lin Miaoyin could react, she was thrown into a dark and damp dungeon.
Her bloody back hit the cold wall, her flesh stuck to her clothes, and the pain made her brows twisted together.
Before she could catch her breath, a sharp whip sounded in her ears.
Then the young man said in disgust, "The prince said, if you don't hand over the antidote, you will never see the sun tomorrow!"
Do they still think she poisoned Clove?
Don't argue with fools.
Lin Miaoyin didn't waste any more words. When the imperial physician from the palace arrived, they would know that Dingxiang was misdiagnosed, not poisoned!
The most urgent task now is to treat her injuries first.
Sooner or later, she will have to return these twenty sticks!
The boy said this and left. The dungeon was quiet, with only the occasional rustling sounds of rats.
Lin Miaoyin's wound was on her back, and the torn flesh was stuck to her clothes, making it very troublesome to deal with.
She was about to take off her clothes when she heard footsteps outside.
“Princess!” Yuzhu rushed to Lin Miaoyin as soon as she came in, her voice choked with sobs, “Princess, you have suffered…”
"Why are you here?" Lin Miaoyin was a little surprised.
She didn't believe that Beigong You, that bastard, would be so kind as to let Yuzhu come over.
Yuzhu wiped the tears from her face and looked at Lin Miaoyin distressedly, "It was Master Maidong who asked me to come here. I will apply the medicine to you first."
Looking at the medicine in her hand, Lin Miaoyin became alert, "Where did this medicine come from?"
She took the medicine and calmly put it into the medical system.
"This is a commonly used medicine for wounds in the army. Please feel free to use it, Princess." A low voice came from outside, and Lin Miaoyin realized that there was someone outside the dungeon.
At this time, the medical system also gave the results.
The best medicine for wounds.
"Thank you." She thanked the outsiders and asked Yuzhu to apply medicine for her.
She had some impression of Ophiopogon japonicus.
In the past, the original owner had been chasing Beigong You, and Mai Dong was his personal bodyguard. They had dealt with each other several times. In her memory, Mai Dong was a rigid and taciturn person, with a cold face all year round, and never treated the original owner well.
I didn't expect that he would actually send her medicine.
"You're welcome, Princess." Mai Dong said this and then there was no more movement.
After an unknown amount of time, the dungeon door was suddenly and rudely kicked open, and the young man who had just left rushed back.
Judging from the time, the imperial physician from the palace should have examined Dingxiang.
However, in this age without antibiotics, even if the disease is diagnosed, it is difficult to treat.
Originally, Dingxiang's symptoms were not too serious, but she was misdiagnosed and took the wrong medicine, which put her life in danger.
Now, apart from her, even the immortals can’t save her!
The light in the dungeon was dim, and she couldn't see the boy's expression. She thought he was here to let her out, so she asked sarcastically, "Why, is he planning to beg me?"
"You want the prince to beg you? Dream on!" The young man spat coldly while holding the whip.
"Then he will just wait to collect Ding Xiang's body."
As soon as he finished saying this, the whip in the boy's hand came towards him, but the expected pain did not come.
Lin Miaoyin looked up and saw that it was Mai Dong who reached out and grabbed the whip.
Due to his inconvenient legs and his anxiety, he was half leaning forward, staggering a little, and looked very embarrassed.
Feng Ming's cheeks were puffed up with anger. "Master, why are you stopping me?"
"Whip the princess was the prince's intention?"
Feng Ming snorted and turned his head away. "The concubine vomited blood again. The prince is guarding and has no time to deal with her. However, if the prince comes, it will not be a simple whipping."
"Stupid!" Mai Dong said with a sullen face, snatching the whip from his hand, "Who are you? How dare you attack the princess without the prince's order?"
"Princess? She doesn't deserve it! In my heart, the mistress of Prince Ning's Mansion is only Concubine Song!"
Listening to the conversation between the two, Lin Miaoyin realized something was wrong.
Isn’t it about Ding Xiang’s “poisoning”? How is it related to Song Qingyun?
Or is this little white lotus up to some other tricks?
Just as she was wondering, a cold wind blew past her and someone grabbed her neck fiercely. What came into her sight was Beigong You's cold and ferocious face.
"Hand over the antidote, and I will spare your life!"
"Are you sick? I told you I didn't poison Dingxiang!" She struggled violently.
However, the more she struggled, the tighter the man's hand around her neck became. "It's not enough that you forced Yun'er to drink the concubine's tea, you also want her life, you vicious woman!"
"You fed the concubine sterilization drugs right after she entered the house. You have such a cruel heart!" Feng Ming felt sorry for Song Qingyun.
Lin Miaoyin finally understood what had happened.
It turned out that Song Qingyun falsely accused me of poisoning her with sterilization drugs. This little bitch was willing to do such a cruel thing to me!
Taking advantage of Beigong You's relaxed state, she pushed him away and said, "You said I poisoned Song Qingyun. Do you have any evidence? Don't forget that the maid who poured her concubine's tea was hers. Why do you think she would cooperate with me to poison Song Qingyun?"
The sarcasm in her voice was hard to hide, "The Emperor really didn't have half a brain for you."
"How dare you speak disrespectfully to the prince!" Feng Ming was eager to protect his master and subconsciously reached for his waist, but his whip had already been taken away by Mai Dong.
Beigong You's face turned pale. Just as he was about to say something, Mai Dong's deep voice came from outside, "Your Highness, the steward Liu and his wife from the kitchen want to see you. They are in Songzhu Courtyard."
"I understand, my king." Beigong You responded.
Looking at Lin Miaoyin with a sarcastic look on her face, his eyes flashed with murderous intent, "If you hand over the antidote, I can still give you a lighter punishment. If Yun'er really gets hurt, even the Queen can't protect you!"
"Let's make a bet." Lin Miaoyin said faintly, "Let's bet on whether Song Qingyun will be in trouble."
She remembered that Song Qingyun had been weak since childhood and became a doctor due to long-term illness.
Judging from the bowl of medicine she brought last night, even if she can't treat patients, she is familiar with pharmacology.
Then why would she not leave a backup plan when she poisoned herself?
Looking at Beigong You's furrowed brows, she sneered, "Why, Your Majesty doesn't dare to gamble, or is he guilty and doesn't want to poison you?"
"I'll give you one night!"
"I'll also give you one night. Only I can save Dingxiang." Lin Miaoyin said arrogantly and confidently.
Beigong You paused, then quickly walked away.
As soon as they arrived at Songzhuyuan, Manager Liu and his wife knelt down in front of him and said, "Your Majesty, Dingxiang is the only child we have. Please save her."
"What did Doctor Wang say?"
"Doctor Wang said that Dingxiang is indeed suffering from seven-day wind, but it is too late. He can't save her. Let's find someone else. Your Highness, can you please ask Dean Zhang Miaochun..."
"Shut up!" Before Mrs. Sun could finish her words, she was interrupted by Manager Liu.
Dean Zhang has always been responsible only for the emperor's health. Even the dignitaries in Shengjing City cannot be invited to visit him, not to mention their identities.
Besides, the emperor has never liked their prince, so how could he agree?
The prince couldn't even bring himself to talk about this matter.
She clearly knew the prince's difficulties, yet she still mentioned Dean Zhang.
This is asking for repayment of a favor, which is really against the will of others!
