Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

Chapter 2488: Stomping with Anxiety

The atmosphere was extremely heavy, and no one dared to make a sound, afraid of disturbing the Princess Consort in diagnosing the pulse.

Long Yi: "Princess Consort, what’s wrong with the Prince?"

Xuexue did not answer, instead asking: "How is the interrogation of the prisoner going? Does he have the antidote?"

Long Yi, knowing Xuexue was asking about the carriage driver, replied: "Not yet! He is very tough, no amount of beating will loosen his mouth."

Xuexue said coldly: "Use torture; I don’t believe there’s anyone in the world unafraid of pain."

Long Yi: "Don’t worry, Princess Consort, our men are attending to him."

Xuexue: "Make sure he doesn’t die before the Prince has been detoxified."

Long Yi: "Understood."

At that moment, the faint sound of Little Tiger’s voice could be heard in the room.

Xuexue said to Long Yi: "You all go out first, let me perform some acupuncture on the Prince to see if it can alleviate his pain."

Long Yi looked at the Prince’s pain-stricken face and felt helpless, but he had no other choice. He quickly led his men out and headed straight to the dungeon, determined to extract the antidote from the carriage driver through severe interrogation.

The carriage driver was beaten until his entire body was covered in bruises, yet his resolve remained unbroken, and he refused to speak of the antidote.

Enraged, Long Yi ordered his men to bring a long whip. This was no ordinary whip; it was specifically designed for dealing with prisoners, covered in barbs and soaked in chili water. Whenever it contacted broken skin, the chili water seeped into the flesh, causing unbearable agony.

"I’ll ask once more: what poison has the Prince been inflicted with?"

"Enough with the nonsense, go ahead! At worst, I die, and eighteen years later, I’ll be a brave man again, hahaha..." The carriage driver’s clothes were torn apart, the remaining fabric stained red with blood.

Long Yi was extremely vexed and, without speaking further, prepared to beat him up some more.

"Crack!"

Long Yi swung the whip in his hand, landing a harsh blow. Although the carriage driver was prepared, he could not help but scream in pain after the lash: "Ah... damn you, if you have the guts, just kill me."

Long Yi sneered: "Want to die? It’s not that easy. As long as you don’t hand over the antidote, I won’t easily let you die. I’ll show you what hell on earth truly means."

War Prince’s Mansion, the Prince’s chamber.

Just after Long Yi went out, Little Tiger leaped out of the space: "Master, I’m here."

Xuexue: "Is something wrong?"

The Prince’s condition having deteriorated, Xuexue was in low spirits about everything.

Little Tiger first glanced at the barely-breathing Long Yue, then said to Xuexue: "Master, have you forgotten? There are many flowers in the space that are medicinal herbs, capable of curing all ailments, and their efficacy is hundreds of times stronger than ordinary herbs. Why not pick some and let the Prince try them."

After all, Long Rui was afflicted with three kinds of poison; neither the Imperial Physician nor Xuexue knew what to do. Since death was inevitable, it was worth trying the herbs from the space to see if they were effective, which could also be a boon to humanity.

"Oh dear, how could I have forgotten this? So many things have happened recently they’ve muddled my mind." Realization dawned on Xuexue, and Little Tiger didn’t wait, disappearing into the space at once.

"Hey hey hey... Master, I haven’t gone in yet, how could you forget me again?" Little Tiger was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, wondering if such a big person like him couldn’t be seen by his master.

Xuexue went in, leaving Little Tiger unable to enter the space, so he could only anxiously hop about outside.
