"Ah...! Help, help, the master has gone mad!"
Xiao Jiu dared not linger, flapping quickly into the War Prince’s Mansion, crying out loudly as he flew, "Master, don’t be angry, Xiao Jiu didn’t do it on purpose."
Xuexue chased after him, saying, "I know you didn’t do it on purpose, you did it deliberately, right? Today, I’ve got to skin you."
Earlier, she was scared to death, and knowing Xiao Jiu was the instigator made her furious. She just had to deal with this Birdy; it’s outrageous to spread such rumors. If left unchecked, who knows what will happen in the future.
"Ahh ahh...! Help, help...!"
Xiao Jiu flew overhead while Xuexue chased below. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared around the corner...
The people at the gate were stunned. Has the Princess Consort gone mad? She’s even chasing down a bird.
After causing such a commotion, the guards began to disperse the people: "Alright, alright, stop looking, it’s all a misunderstanding, everyone go home."
Knowing the Prince was alright, the people felt reassured and gradually left.
The East Wing Room, this is where Long Rui usually rests when busy with official business.
At this moment, Long Rui lay pale and sickly on the bed, the mask he typically wore was absent, revealing his ugly visage, so much so that some maids looked away after a glance, not daring to look directly.
The Prince always wore a mask; it was their first time seeing his true face. Their hearts were filled with some fear. Indeed, the rumors outside were not wrong, the Prince truly was as ugly as a ghost.
The room was filled with a dozen Imperial Physicians, their brows furrowed as if facing some tricky dilemma.
"The Prince has been poisoned by three types of poison. What should we do now?"
"Yes! They’re all deadly poisons; a slight mistake and the Prince’s life will be in danger."
"Why don’t we report to The Emperor and let him decide?"
The Imperial Physicians expressed their reluctance to administer arbitrary medication. If they accidentally treated the Prince to death, not only would The Emperor blame them, but the people would also curse them.
This sort of thankless task should be left for The Emperor to decide!
Long Yi walked in and asked, "How is the Prince’s condition?"
The Imperial Physicians were visibly worried, shaking their heads. "The Prince has been poisoned by three kinds of deadly poisons, each one is fatal. What’s more, combining them together is a risk we dare not take, lest pulling one strand leads to whole-body disturbance, at that point, even an Immortal couldn’t save him, and it would only harm the Prince."
The Imperial Physicians shook their heads again, saying, "We plan to report to The Emperor, see what decision he has, then we’ll take further measures."
The Emperor has always viewed the Prince as an eyesore and a thorn in his side, feeling no joy until he is removed. Now that the Prince is in trouble, The Emperor is probably too happy to care about the Prince’s life or death!
Long Yi said, "The Emperor deals with myriad affairs each day; let’s not trouble him with such small matters."
The Imperial Physicians looked at each other, "But..., the Prince is so gravely ill, is it appropriate not to report to The Emperor?"
Long Yi replied, "What’s inappropriate? When the Prince gets better, we can report to The Emperor then; wouldn’t that make him happier?"
"Is that so?" The Imperial Physicians looked at each other, uncertain of what to do.
At this moment, Xuexue walked in, pushing the door open, and said loudly, "What Guard Long said is right. The Emperor, managing countless affairs, has been fatigued enough. Let’s not bother him with the Prince’s matters."
"Princess Consort, you’re finally back! Master, he... he...!" Long Yi, a big man, saw the Prince lying sickly on the bed, and his eyes reddened.
In the past, the Prince was so gallant and brave, charging alone into enemy camps and scattering them in fear. Now, harmed by villains, he lay in such a state on the bed. Anyone who saw it would feel pained.
