Chapter 246 Common enemy, common goal(1/2)
"Please ask the princess to lead the way and let Caomin go and check the prince's condition first." Xu Muqing said in a low voice, trying to make her voice sound similar to Dr. Lan in Hejitang.
Princess Jing took the two doctors directly to Huo Jing's room. Before she could enter the door, a strong decayed aura came over in the room. The vague smell of medicine made people feel uncomfortable when they smelled it.
When Xiao Linye saw the wife beside him frowning, he couldn't help but touch her hand gently and asked her with concern.
She shook her head gently and signaled him not to worry.
"Prince, I'm here to see you with the doctor of Jitang. I hope I can get better this time. Don't scare me anymore. If you can't wake up again, the whole palace will not be able to hold on." The princess walked up and said to Huo Jing gently, his eyes filled with deep love and reluctance.
However, the man who was in his forties in his bed and looked skinny had no reaction at all. He had been unconscious for a day and a night due to the torture of illness, and his health still showed no sign of improvement. This made the entire King Jing's Mansion fall into danger.
"Two doctors, please show the prince his condition. If you can relieve the prince's condition, I am willing to pay you a generous reward." Princess Jing blushed and said with a reluctant smile to them.
Xu Muqing lowered her voice and said solemnly, "The Caomin must first carefully check the prince's pulse and his physical symptoms before knowing how to prescribe the right medicine. Please be careful not to be impatient."
After she finished speaking, she stretched out her hand to take Huo Jing's pulse.
Not long after, her face became even more ugly, her body was tense, and a cold breath was emitted all over her body, and she looked very angry.
"Doctor, what's going on? Do you have a way to wake up the prince?" The princess's expression couldn't help but jump in her heart, and she was so nervous that cold sweat penetrated her back.
Xu Muqing looked at Princess Jing seriously and signaled her to let the maids and servants around her retreat, and then she told the truth.
"In addition to relapse of leg disease, the prince was also poisoned. He was placed in the soaking bath for feet. This poison is a rare poison in the country of Nanyue. It should have been transmitted from the palace. The antidote must be found. Otherwise, the prince's body will gradually become thinner and weak. He remained unconscious until his last breath was cut off."
The imperial doctors in the palace would not tell the people of King Jing's mansion. Many of the civil servants do not understand the secret medicines of the palace at all. If she were not Tang Weiqing's apprentice, she would never know these poisons.
It seems that as long as it is a royal family, intrigue, and struggle for power and profit, it will definitely not be rare, no matter which country it is in!
Princess Jing was so scared that she cried even more fiercely, "Doctor, when did the prince be poisoned? How long did these poisons last? Is there any way to wake the prince up and find a way to prevent him from suffering so much? As long as you can get the prince back to his health, the medical fee is not a problem, and I will not lose yours."
Xu Muqing looked at her calmly and said the essence directly, "Princess, the root cause is not to wake up the prince and relieve his pain. Although Caomin cannot find the secret medicine from the palace for the time being to completely recover the prince's body. However, if the poisoned person behind the scenes refuses to let the prince go, even if Caomin rescues the prince this time, then others still want to poison him next time. Will he have to let others murder him like this?"
Her voice was very light, but it was shocking to Princess Jing's ears. "It's because someone in the palace wants the prince's life. This is the most important thing. It's better to be prepared for the prince's house."
Princess Jing's legs became weak and she fell straight on the chair. Her heartache was as painful as a knife, her head buzzed, and she was in a bad mood.
"Doctor, put those things aside first. You have the ability to relieve the pain of the prince and make him come quickly, right? I won't lose your medical treatment fee. Please find a way to wake up the prince. What should you do next? The prince will make a decision."
The princess is a gentle and virtuous woman. She can manage the entire palace in an orderly manner and make the inner house feel refreshed. However, she doesn't know how to fight for power and profit between men. She only knows how to take care of her husband and children, and wants her son to find a good future.
Xu Muqing did not hide it and admitted happily, "The Caomin first prescription, and asked the princess to get the medicine immediately. She put it down in the order of adding the medicine to the prescription and boil the soup and give the prince a medicine bath. Then Caomin applied a needle to excrete the toxins on his legs and fed it to the detoxification pill. Although the poison in the prince's body cannot be removed immediately, it can at least remove most of it and wake him up."
When she heard that the doctor in Hejitang could wake her husband up, Princess Jing was like a drowning man who grabbed the life-saving driftwood. She immediately felt energetic, "Then I will prepare a pen, ink, paper and inkstone for the doctor immediately, and ask the doctor to prescribe the prescription first. There is a pharmacy in the mansion, so I will ask the maid to catch the medicine directly."
Xu Muqing was not polite either. She picked up the pen and dipped it in the grinded ink, and wrote down the prescription on the paper as quickly as possible, the dosage of medicinal materials, the order and heat needed to be added when boiling the medicine, when to add water, and when to add another medicine, all of which were written in detail.
"First take out the medicine bath, wait until it is dry and the temperature that the body can withstand, soak the prince's legs in the medicine bath for half an hour. During this period, the hot water from the medicine bath is kept keeping the water in a warm state, and first force out some of the toxins."
The princess listened to all the precautions she gave and did not dare to question them at all, for fear of angering the doctor. Her husband would never wake up in this life.
"I'm going to get medicine now. Doctor, I really want to ask you about the prince's affairs. Please don't let me down. The prince is the god of the entire Prince Jing's mansion."
Xu Muqing thought for a while, before the princess walked out, she couldn't help but shout, "Princess, when grabbing medicine and decocting medicine, it is best to let the prince or the prince trusted by the prince watch from the side to prevent anyone from strife. The reason why the prince was poisoned was obviously that there were spies in the prince's mansion and wanted to harm the prince's life."
After hearing her words, Princess Jing raised her whole body again to be vigilant. She stabilized Huo Jing's excitement that might have woken up, and even the joy disappeared, leaving only caution and seriousness. "Thank you, doctor, I wouldn't have thought you didn't say it. This time I must let the children stare at it, do everything myself, and you can no longer harm the prince."
Her husband killed the enemy on the battlefield, but when he came back, he was plotted to hurt his leg. He was depressed and painful for most of his life. Did those people refuse to let him go?
Princess Jing felt a strong hatred in her heart, her eyes were so red that they were almost bleeding. She took the medicine and walked out, thinking hatefully in her heart that she would never let that bastard Huo Ting murder her husband in the future.
Since the entire Nanyue royal family cannot tolerate their family, they will try every means to let them die, and when her husband gets better, she will persuade her husband to confuse the forces they had secretly cultivated again, no matter what the cost is spent, they must ensure that the whole family lives well.
Some obsessions will grow like vines in the heart, and they will not last long until they grow into towering trees.
She was worried that she could not leave the maids and servants in the mansion, so she called the prince Huo Shucheng, whom she loved, trusted the most, and could support her hope.
"Cheng'er, you go to the pharmacy to get medicine in person. Watch the maid in the kitchen decoct medicine and add the medicinal materials in the order of this prescription. Don't make any mistakes. It's related to your father's life. If you really make any mistakes, what will be waiting for us will be, you know in your heart."
My mother's mother explained so seriously, and Huo Shucheng naturally understood the seriousness of the matter and did not dare to be perfunctory at all. He took the prescription, "Mother, the two doctors in Jitang can indeed cure their father's illness, right? He will definitely wake up, and no one can think of harming his father's life, right?"
"The people who poisoned your father were the people in the palace. Over the years, Prince Jing's mansion has repeatedly avoided him and tried to minimize his presence. He still doesn't want to let us go. Since the two doctors in Jitang dare to make this clear, it means that they can cure your father well. So you are more polite and enthusiastic to those two doctors. Do you understand?"
The princess reminded her son that she did not want her son to offend the doctor and drove away the only hope of curing her husband.
Huo Shucheng remembered it in his heart, "Don't worry, I will treat those two doctors well. I will go and get the medicine first, and then stare at the maids and prepare the medicine bath, waiting for my father to wake up."
More than half an hour later, the medicine bath was finally boiled. Huo Shucheng personally took the person to carry the medicine bath to the room, put it at the temperature that his body could withstand. He carefully lifted Huo Jing up and let him soak in the medicine bath, and force out the toxins hidden in his body.
After repeated additions to the medicine soup to maintain the temperature, and soaked it for half an hour, Huo Jing's face finally looked a little better. Xu Muqing asked Huo Shucheng to make it out and put on clean clothes.
Then, Xu Muqing took out the silver needle that had been prepared long ago, and pricked Huo Jing's legs tightly, and once again forced out the poison deep in her body.
She took a sharp dagger and cut a wound on Prince Jing's big toe. Suddenly, black blood emitting foul smell dripped down, getting darker and darker. At the back, there were densely packed small insects crawling out.
Not only Princess Jing, but even Huo Shucheng and Xiao Linye felt their scalp numbness when they saw the insects squirming in the jar, and goose bumps appeared behind them.
"Is this a Gu? The father's leg is not good after seeing so many doctors. The more spicy heavier he is, the more serious heavier he is. Is it because of these terrifying little bugs being caused?" Huo Shucheng's face was as gloomy as the bottom of the pot, and a strong anger surged in his heart.
The one on the throne who could not tolerate his father so much that it made his father disabled and unable to walk. He still had to use such a terrifying thing on him, and insisted on putting his father to death?
Why is he so vicious? He got everything he wanted and became the noble emperor and was not satisfied. Do you have to drive them out of Prince Jing’s mansion?
Xu Muqing did not speak, and focused on taking out two larger silver needles, stabbing a dark and hard part of Huo Jing's legs. Only a very strange chirping sounded.
The next moment, she did not frown, and used a dagger to dissolve the flesh and blood, and directly took out the insects hiding there and gnawing the flesh and blood with a silver needle, looking like she was facing a great enemy.
"Get a brazier, this thing can't keep it alive, otherwise it will only come back and harm people."
Huo Shucheng did not dare to be ambiguous at all, so he immediately went out to light the brazier. After the fire started to burn, in order to make the fire more vigorous, he poured two large spoons of oil on it, and the flames instantly started to burn.
Xu Muqing used two silver needles to pierce the insect the size of a fingernail and threw it into the brazier. She watched the insect burned to ashes with her own eyes, and then she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief quietly.
"Doctor, the father's leg is not because he is injured and cannot walk, but because these insects are not? He was not injured in the bones on the battlefield, but was damaged by the unique insect insects of the South Vietnam Kingdom, which has caused him to be unable to walk for more than 20 years, right?"
Huo Shucheng's face was full of murderous aura, and the veins on his forehead surged. He stared at Xu Muqing with a stance that he would not give up until he achieved his goal.
Xu Muqing did not cover up any secretly and carefully explained Prince Jing’s situation in detail. “It is true that the bones were injured, and it is true that the worms were bitten by the bones. Originally, it was just injured. The doctor was well cared for so that he would not be unable to walk for more than 20 years. The most important thing is that these insects were causing trouble.”
A subtle expression appeared on her face, "Has no doctor ever told me about the prince's situation?"
Huo Shucheng was so angry that he wanted to cut his father into pieces. All the imperial doctors in the palace, including doctors in the royal palace, and even doctors they had hired from outside, must have been banned before coming. Otherwise, for more than 20 years, they would not have been unaware of it. It was not that the injured leg could not be cured, but that the vicious insects.
Xu Muqing felt the resentment of the princess and the prince, and she said quietly, "Next, I will prescribe another prescription. After decocting the medicine, the prince should wake up. However, the poison in his body cannot be removed, and he must rest with peace of mind."
"Then I'll bother the doctor. I hope the doctor will find a way to cure his father. My mother and I will be grateful to the doctor and remember it for the rest of our lives."
Xu Muqing chuckled without comment and wrote down the prescription. She asked Huo Shucheng to catch the medicine and hand it over to her for cooking.
Huo Shucheng was very fast, and Xu Muqing's hands and feet were also very quick. She directly set fire in the kitchen to start boiling medicine. When all the medicines were boiled, she personally brought the medicine back to the room, "Princess, the medicine is ready, please feed the prince to the medicine."
After drinking a bowl of medicine, Huo Jing became sweaty and his clothes were soaked. After about two incense sticks, the man who had been unconscious before finally opened his eyes and regained his consciousness.
Princess Jing and Huo Shucheng almost cried, "Prince, you finally woke up. It's great. I'm really afraid that you will never wake up again when you are in danger."
Before, both the imperial doctors in the palace and the doctors invited from outside had clearly stated that they were powerless and asked the royal palace to invite another clever one. Who would have thought that the two doctors in Jitang would actually relieve the prince's condition?
Huo Jing was unconscious this time, so why didn't he understand his condition? He was in a bad mood. "Cheng'er, find me a clean set of clothes and I want to replace them. Let the two doctors wait for me at the door, and I have something to talk to them later."
Huo Shucheng has always been obedient to his father's words and soon did as he told him.
"Please wait in the study, I'll go there now."
Xiao Linye and Xu Muqing were invited to the quiet study room without any intentions, waiting for the next negotiation.
She was in a heavy mood at this time, and attached herself to Xiao Linye's ear and whispered, "Do you think cooperation can be achieved? Will Prince Jing be willing to cooperate with us and let us get everything we want?"
Xiao Linye was full of confidence, "You see, he has been forced into a desperate situation. If he doesn't want the entire palace to be destroyed and everyone's lives, he will make the right choice. Who would want his enemies to be on his head and hold on to his life and death? If it were you, would you be willing to live with your anger, repeatedly avoid it and be plotted to the point where you almost kill them?"
Xu Muqing sat upright, and a cold breath burst out around her body, "Of course I don't want to. I will definitely rack my brains to live well. If anyone makes me unhappy, I will find a way to make those people unhappy!"
Admitting her fate is not her style. Unless she reaches a dead end, no matter how hard she struggles, she can't make any storm, then she will admit defeat.
Seeing her stubborn and unwilling to give up, a faint smile surged in her eyes, "As long as there is a trace of desire to survive, you will have the same idea as you, not to mention that the bravest and warlike prince of the South Vietnam 20 years ago, if it weren't for his leg injury, perhaps the person sitting on the throne now would be him."
The couple whispered very close, but not long after, the door of the study room was pushed open from outside. Huo Jing was helped in by Princess Jing and Huo Shucheng and sat down weakly on the chair.
"The two are not doctors from Jitang. You are using the name of a doctor to enter the Prince Jing's Mansion and want to get something from this king. Let's talk openly and honestly now." Huo Jing's sharp eyes suddenly saw through them, and he did not focus all his attention on King Jing like Huo Shucheng and the princess.
Huo Shucheng was shocked and nervous and didn't know what to do. He stared at Xiao Linye and Xu Muqing with vigilance and alertness. His fingers had already touched his waist and was about to take out the sharp, iron-cut dagger.
"Chener, don't be fooled. The two miraculous doctors will not take the life of their father. Don't offend noble people." Huo Jing immediately stopped his son.
Xiao Linye did not show any fear, "The prince really has good eyesight. He can see it so easily, which makes me admire him."
Huo Jing smiled self-deprecatingly, "How can you have any good eyesight? If you are so powerful, you will not be poisoned by others for more than 20 years without any notice. Those who dare to come to treat me at this critical moment are not asking for anything, and there will be no other reason."
The man in the palace wanted to let him die soon, so how could he let the imperial doctors do their best to save him?
"Whatever I want to do is as long as I can do, it will not harm the country and country of Nanyue. And my king's request is to protect the entire Prince Jing's mansion and all his relatives, and not be killed by the one in the palace."
Xiao Linye admired Huo Jing's attitude very much. He couldn't help but chuckled, "As a matter of time, talking about cooperation with refreshing people is a pleasure, and there is no need to go around the bush, and I don't want to waste it on useless words. Then I'll tell the truth. I want to join forces with the prince to razify the entire Moon Worshiping Sect and send all the elders and priests into hell. I wonder if the prince dares to cooperate with me?"
Huo Jing, Huo Shucheng, and Princess Jing couldn't help but gasp when they heard what he said, and a layer of storm surged through their eyes.
The two people in front of them have such arrogant tone and great ambitions. They dare to say such a rebellious idea. Are you not afraid of being heard by the people of the Moon Worshiping Sect and killing them directly?
How dare they say such words!
Huo Jing's face was as cold as if it was covered with a layer of cold frost. "If you two have such an idea, you don't have to continue talking about it. There is no need to discuss this matter. Please leave Prince Jing's Mansion soon. Cheng'er and take the medical fee to the two doctors. Please forgive me if I can't help, please."
Huo Shucheng was also full of fear and fear. He looked at the two doctors in front of him with very skilled medical skills, even though he hated the people of the Moon Worship Cult in his heart. However, the difference between the power of the King Jing's Mansion and the Moon Worship Cult is too big. Since he is doomed to fail, it is better not to plot against everything that should not belong to them.
Xiao Linye was not angry, and even laughed happily, "What is Prince Jing afraid of? He thinks that fighting with the Moon Worshiping Sect is like hitting a stone with an egg, and he will end up with a miserable defeat, which will make you die without a burial place? What if I say no, would you dare to cooperate with me?"
To be continued...
