Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

Xuexue sat by the bedside, ignoring the ugly countenance of Long Rui. She reached out to take his hand, placing it on his pulse, listening intently. Long Rui’s pulse was very erratic, sometimes calm, sometimes turbulent. The situation was indeed as the Imperial Physician said; he had been poisoned by three kinds of poison.

Xuexue’s actions made the Imperial Physicians look at each other, could it be that the Princess Consort also understands medical skills?

One of the Imperial Physicians stepped forward and called out to Xuexue: "Princess Consort?"

Xuexue put her finger to her lips, making a silent gesture: "Shh!"

Then, after listening to the pulse for a while longer, she frowned and murmured, "The Prince’s pulse is really strange."

The Imperial Physicians nodded one after another, saying, "Princess Consort, that’s because the Prince has three types of poison in his body, and the properties of the three poisons are different. Some are strong, some are weak, though the properties of the poisons are different, they are all deadly. Now combined, they have become a major problem."

Xuexue: "Is there really no way to detoxify?"

The Imperial Physicians shook their heads: "Princess Consort, forgive us for being powerless. If we forcibly administer the antidote to the Prince, we fear that if we’re not careful, the Prince’s life will be lost too. We dare not make a decision rashly. We want to enter the palace to report to The Emperor and see what The Emperor decides. However, Guard Long said that The Emperor is very busy. We are also conflicted. While it is true that The Emperor is busy, the Prince’s life is also very important, this... this..."

Would The Emperor care about the Prince’s life? Utterly ridiculous.

These Imperial Physicians are deceitful enough. They know full well the relationship between The Emperor and the Prince is like fire and water, yet they still talk about reporting to The Emperor, letting him decide, clearly acting as The Emperor’s informers.

Xuexue said lightly, "Guard Long is right. So much has happened lately. The Emperor is distressed and even the Fourth Prince encountered problems, having fled Moli Country due to madness and sought refuge in a hostile country. Because of this, The Emperor cannot eat or sleep. If one goes to him nagging about the Prince’s situation, wouldn’t that just add to The Emperor’s troubles?"

Upon hearing this, the Imperial Physicians all felt that the Princess Consort was very reasonable. The Emperor’s mood has been very unstable lately. If they rashly entered the palace to report, who knows if The Emperor, in a fit of anger, would arbitrarily accuse them of a crime.

The Imperial Physicians nodded and said in unison: "The Princess Consort speaks aptly."

Xuexue, exhausted, waved her hand and said, "You all may leave!"

Imperial Physicians: "Then the Prince...?"

The Prince is Moli Country’s War God. If something happens to him, and the Imperial Physicians do not treat him, the people might hold them accountable, and The Emperor might abandon them for the sake of face. Having been in the court for a long time, the Imperial Physicians understand these nuances.

If nothing happens, all is good; if something does, The Emperor will surely push them out to take the blame.

Xuexue frowned and said, "You staying here is useless; it’s better to quickly go back and research an antidote for the Prince."

"Yes, yes, yes, we will quickly go back and research an antidote." The Imperial Physicians all took their leave.

Long Yi looked at the unconscious Prince on the bed with a worried brow: "Princess Consort, the Prince is poisoned with so many toxins, what should we do?"

Xuexue was also troubled, taking a look at Long Rui, whose breathing was still relatively stable, she said: "Post guards at the door and don’t let anyone else in. I’ll try acupuncture on the Prince and hope to expel the poison."

After speaking, she took out a Needle Pack from her bosom and spread it open on the table.

If the Prince had any chance of hope, Long Yi also hoped that the Princess Consort would try. Hence, he gave a nod, turned, and walked out of the room. Afraid that someone might disturb the Princess Consort, Long Yi stationed a few trusted subordinates at the Prince’s door, and with nothing else to do, he too stood guard at the door.
