Ever since the emperor entered the room with Dr. Zhang, the inner courtyard had been eerily quiet.
No one dared to make loud noises, even a cough would attract attention, let alone talk.
The most eye-catching person is Xu Mao. Although he did not make a sound, his body movements and facial expressions were full of language.
The prince was Xu Mao's master, so he was naturally more anxious than anyone else. Sometimes Xu Mao clasped his hands and prayed to heaven, and sometimes he scratched his head and ears anxiously, and later he kept walking back and forth in front of the house...
.
As this went on for a long time, Chen Fuyin became a little impatient. When Xu Mao came to his side, he grabbed him, lowered his voice and frowned: "I said Eunuch Xu, can you please stop shaking me?"
Yes, the more you wander around, the more anxious I become..."
"Master Chen, alas... the Zajia family... the Zajia family can't help it..."
Xu Mao sighed anxiously, but in the end he restrained himself from pacing and stared at the door of the room intently.
Hang Baiqiu was looking at the closed room intently. Suddenly she felt someone coming to her side. She turned around and saw that it was Chai Yan who came over, so she felt nervous for no reason.
"Sir Hang, there is something I want to tell you..." Chai Yan's voice was very soft, and only Hang Baiqiu could hear it clearly.
"What's the matter?" Hang Baiqiu asked in a low voice.
Chai Yan said: "It's not convenient to talk here, let's go outside."
After saying that, Chai Yan walked out of the yard. Hang Baiqiu hesitated for a moment, but finally followed him out.
As soon as the two of them stood still outside, Hang Baiqiu asked, "What's the matter? Tell me quickly..."
Chai Yan said in a low voice: "Sir Hang, the poison in His Royal Highness is difficult to cure. If the antidote from Doctor Zhang doesn't work soon, you have to speak to me..."
"Speak for you?" Hang Baiqiu was very puzzled: "What do you mean by this?"
Chai Yan did not beat around the bush and said directly: "What I mean is, I can cure the poison in the prince!"
"What! You can?" Hang Baiqiu was shocked.
"Shh... keep your voice down!" Chai Yan continued: "Do you still remember how I detoxified the lioness?"
Hang Baiqiu nodded immediately. She would not forget such an important thing, and then said: "You mean, the poison in His Royal Highness is the same as the poison in the lioness?"
"No! What I want to say is that I still have a leaf like that that can detoxify His Highness the Prince, just like I detoxified the lioness last time!" After Chai Yan finished speaking, he nodded heavily to show his approval.
"Really?" Hang Baiqiu said in surprise.
Before Chai Yan could speak, Hang Baiqiu's face showed a trace of doubt: "Since you can detoxify, why didn't you tell the princess earlier?"
Chai Yan had long expected that she would ask this question, and after sighing, he said: "Sir Hang, I'll tell you the truth, I usually keep these leaves to save my own life, and I have the remaining
There’s not much left, and I really don’t want to use it unless it’s absolutely necessary...”
"Not as a last resort?" Hang Baiqiu looked at him in surprise and asked, "Are you saying that the antidote given by Dr. Zhang cannot detoxify His Highness?"
Chai Yan nodded solemnly and replied: "I don't mean to say anything, just 90%... 90% of the antidote given by Imperial Physician Zhang is useless..."
Hang Baiqiu was horrified. He looked at Chai Yan and didn't know what to say for a moment.
At this moment, someone spoke inside the courtyard wall: "Come here, go to the Imperial Medical Office to ask for the imperial doctor. No matter who it is, everyone will be invited..."
The person who spoke was the chief eunuch Pei Yang, and his voice sounded very urgent.
Chai Yan and Hang Baiqiu went to the courtyard after hearing the sound, and happened to meet Chen Fuyin and Xu Mao walking out. In fact, the two of them didn't know what happened in the prince's room. They only knew that there was an emergency and something bad was going on.
!
"Mr. Pei, what's wrong with the prince?" Hang Baiqiu stepped forward and asked.
But how could Pei Yang have time to deal with Hang Baiqiu? The whole house was in chaos!
Pei Yang waved his hand and hurried back into the house, leaving the two of them hanging in front of the house.
Suddenly, someone in the room was heard coughing violently, followed by the concerned voices of the emperor and the princess.
Obviously, the person coughing is His Royal Highness...
Immediately afterwards, a porcelain bowl was angrily smashed on the window frame and shattered on the ground...
Later, I heard Dr. Zhang blaming himself and admitting his mistake, while the emperor was furious!
Hearing this, Chai Yan and Hang Baiqiu both understood what was going on...
Not only did Dr. Zhang's "antidote" fail to work, it also worsened the prince's condition.
Chai Yan asked in his heart: "Shangguan Peining, how long can the prince last?"
Shangguan Peining's tone was very serious this time: "If you don't drink the old man's bowl of medicine, you can live for more than four hours, but now, it's only one hour..."
"Then now..."
Before Chai Yan could finish speaking, Shangguan Peining jumped in and said, "Yes, it's now!"
Before he finished speaking, Chai Yan felt something cold on his palm. He immediately raised his hand and saw that it was a leaf of the tonic bean.
The moment Hang Baiqiu saw the leaves on Chai Yan's hand, his spirit was instantly lifted.
Chai Yan clutched Ye Zi and wanted to go up and knock on the door of the room, but the swords of the armored guards in front of the door were all pointed at him.
"Stop! Back off!"
Chai Yan stopped quickly and shouted to the guards: "Listen to me, I have the antidote and I can save His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Hang Baiqiu also hurriedly said loudly: "What he said is true! He can save the prince!"
The guards in front of the door couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this. They thought to themselves that this kid is crazy. He can't even use Dr. Zhang's medicine. How can he?
Soon, the door to the room opened, Pei Yang reappeared, and so did the Crown Princess.
"What did you just say? Say it again!" Pei Yang stared at the two of them and said.
Chai Yan repeated the words clearly, and Pei Yang heard clearly. After being shocked, he ran back to the room and reported to the emperor.
The Crown Princess stepped forward and said, "Chai Yan, are you telling the truth?"
Chai Yan looked at Zhao Li very seriously, nodded and said: "Princess, please believe me, I can really save the prince!"
Hang Baiqiu also nodded and said, "It's true, Princess, please believe him!"
After the Crown Princess' eyes made contact with the two of them for a while, she resolutely turned around and returned to the room. Then she could vaguely hear the conversation between the Crown Princess and the Emperor.
After a while, Pei Yang came to the door and said: "You two, come in."
With permission, Chai Yan and Hang Baiqiu entered the room together.
At the head of the bed, Liu Yu stood with his hands behind his hands, his face looking as ugly as possible.
The princess stood at the end of the bed, looking very anxious.
As soon as Chai Yan and Hang Baiqiu got closer, they found a pool of blood on the floor in front of the bed. Judging from the angle of the spray, it must have been vomited by the prince.
Looking at the prince on the bed, his lips had turned dark purple and his face was starting to turn black...
