Chapter 49: Ask No Reason
Noble Consort Wen, disregarding her image, rushed to the entrance of the cave and, seeing a crowd on the ground with a deathly pale complexion, staggered and nearly fell.
"Your Highness, the Second Prince—," the guards immediately knelt on the ground. Noble Consort Wen frantically pushed the guards aside and threw herself onto Zheng Muyuan’s body.
"Fu Xin, Fu Xin, wake up," Noble Consort Wen cried helplessly, patting Zheng Muyuan’s face and body until she slowly realized a fact and began to cry out hoarsely.
"What are you standing there for, why aren’t you saving him, save him now," Noble Consort Wen suddenly turned her head, looking at the bustling crowd. With Fu Xin here, what else could they be busy with, what could be more important than Fu Xin?
How could Fu Xin be dead, how could Fu Xin suddenly be gone.
"Your Highness, please restrain your grief," the Imperial Physician knelt on the ground, "The Second Prince has passed away prematurely. He was frail and had no pulse before being rescued from the cave..."
"You’re talking nonsense, there’s still Master Yin He, Master Yin He..."
"Master Yin He is unconscious with severe injuries; the Imperial Physician is treating him," the guard immediately reported back.
"Nonsense, that’s Master Yin He." Noble Consort Wen’s eyes were bloodshot, and she grabbed the Imperial Physician from the ground. Mage Huo Yi had said, as long as Fu Xin wanted to live, Master Yin He could keep him alive; even if barely hanging on, even if only a breath was left, even if that breath was sustained by the sacrifice of so many young men and women, it still meant being alive.
"I don’t care, if you can’t save the Second Prince, I will have all of you buried with him."
"Your Highness, the life of the Fourth Prince is at stake. If Your Highness continues to obstruct this official’s treatment of the Fourth Prince, I fear Your Highness may lose not just one son," the Imperial Physician said urgently, not being fazed by Noble Consort Wen’s uproar.
