Chapter 208: Not much time left to live
Concubine Xian seemed to be lost in her own thoughts and ignored Shi Lidie's meaning.
Seeing this, Shi Lidie said nothing more and left silently. She had said what she needed to say. When Concubine Xian came to her senses, she would definitely send someone to find out the truth of the matter.
When Concubine Xian finds out that the Second Prince is dead but the Crown Prince was only poisoned and in a coma, she will definitely feel unwilling.
The prince's journey back to the capital is the last opportunity to take action.
This was exactly what Shi Lidie had in mind.
The prince has the aura of the male protagonist and will not die for the time being, but she wants Ye Zhaonan to be skinned alive. Even if he can come back with his life, he will suffer.
After Shi Lidie returned to the Princess's Mansion, she received a broadcast from the system;
[Complete the crazy mission, reward points: 5000. ]
[3000 points come from Lin Pianpian's emotional value. She blocked the sword for the prince and suffered great damage to her body. In addition, she woke up once and found out that she had been pregnant for more than a month but had a miscarriage. She was very sad and painful.]
[2000 of them came from the crown prince Ye Zhaonan, who was poisoned and in imminent danger of death. His body and mind were severely damaged.]
Shi Lidie was immediately excited after hearing what the system said:
“Here it comes! Pregnancy, miscarriage, and the necessary plot for the heroine of a novel with a substitute. The lost child will be an important node in the relationship between the hero and heroine. It will either become an insurmountable knot in their hearts, or a catalyst to promote their relationship.”
"This time, Lin Pianpian used her body to block the sword. This life-saving grace should be the second situation."
Upon hearing this, Ah Feng complained:
[It's already this late, and you still have the energy to analyze this. ]
[The male and female protagonists are coming back soon. This time their relationship has warmed up. It will be difficult for you to alienate them again. ]
"It's a different time now, so we should analyze the specific issues specifically. I'm not trying to alienate them all the time." Shi Lidie smiled, "Even if their relationship warms up, so what? Even if Ye Zhaonan loves her, he won't give up a valuable fiancée like me for her."
Ah Feng stopped talking.
It finally realized that its host's ability to stir up trouble was quite powerful.
In the next few days, Shi Lidie continued to gain points, all from the male and female protagonists——
As she expected, after Concubine Xian came to her senses and confirmed the news of the Second Prince's death, she was depressed for a while, but then she cheered up again. She realized that she could not let her son die in vain, so she sent out batches of assassins.
Those assassins were all loyal warriors recruited by Concubine Xian's family. When they assassinated Ye Zhaonan, they fought with no regard for their lives.
On Ye Zhaonan's way back, he encountered three waves of assassinations.
The first two waves of assassins fought for their lives and consumed the number of people in the team escorting the prince back to the capital. The third wave of assassins directly broke through the protection circle, approached the prince's carriage, and rushed in with swords.
Although the assassin failed to kill Ye Zhaonan completely, he did injure Ye Zhaonan's leg, and coincidentally severed his meridians. If he does not receive proper treatment, Ye Zhaonan will never be able to use his legs again.
As for Lin Pianpian, she was already seriously injured and had a miscarriage. Her body was like a rag doll. The days of bumps and turns caused her wounds to burst open again and again. Even though they were carefully bandaged, blood still oozed out.
In this way, every time they are injured, Shi Lidie will get more points.
But it was the halo of the protagonist that was at work. No matter how badly these two were injured, others would have died long ago, but they were still holding on. They couldn't get better, but they couldn't die either.
Five days later, Ye Zhaonan and Lin Pianpian were sent to the capital, and the body of the second prince Ye Jiayan was also brought back with them.
Ye Jiayan was killed by a stone mechanism. Parts of his body were flattened and his head was deformed.
If it weren't for the fact that Concubine Xian knew her son very well and recognized him based on other features, no one would have believed that this blurred, tattered corpse was the Second Prince.
Soon, funerals began to take place again in the capital.
Not long after the death of the Fifth Prince, the Second Prince also passed away. The party that originally supported the Second Prince suddenly seemed to have lost its backbone, and for a while, they were in a state of panic.
They wanted to defect to the prince, but the prince had been poisoned and was in a coma, and it was still unknown whether he could wake up.
Now everyone is waiting and watching.
If the prince wakes up, he will be the legitimate crown prince, and everyone can naturally rely on him and support him to ascend the throne, and they can still fight for the credit of following the dragon; but if the prince is also dead, then they will have to plan and decide who among the remaining princes can take on the heavy responsibility.
At this time, the crown prince Ye Zhaonan, whom they were concerned about, had been sent to the palace.
Ye Zhaonan and Lin Pianpian were both settled in a side hall of Yongkang Palace. They lived in two adjacent rooms. All the imperial doctors of the Imperial Medical Bureau were divided into two groups and took turns on duty to ensure that there was someone here at all hours.
The one guarding now was Imperial Physician Jiang. He took the prince's pulse again with a serious look on his face.
It was at this time that Shi Lidie came in following the emperor.
"Doctor Jiang, how is the prince?" asked the emperor.
Doctor Jiang stood up and saluted, then said:
"Your Highness's condition is extremely dangerous. If I am not mistaken in my diagnosis, the poison used by the assassin is none other than the secret medicine of the previous imperial court, Qianji Powder. This poison will not kill the person immediately, but the internal organs of the person who is poisoned will slowly corrode as the poison deepens, until the body becomes a hollow shell."
"As far as I know, this secret medicine was used by the court of the previous dynasty to execute concubines, because it can poison the concubines to death, but it can also maintain their appearance for a certain period of time. However, since the late emperor ascended the throne, he ordered the destruction of all secret medicines in the palace, including Qianji Powder."
"I just don't know where the assassin got it from. If your majesty wants to find the murderer who assassinated the prince, this may be a suspicious point."
"In addition, on his way back to the capital, His Royal Highness encountered many assassins, all of whom were assassins. Although those assassins failed to succeed and were even wiped out, His Royal Highness also suffered a lot."
The emperor nodded upon hearing this and looked at Shi Lidie:
"Princess, please take a look at him."
Shi Lidie walked to Ye Zhaonan and began to feel his pulse. After a moment, she nodded and said:
"Doctor Jiang's diagnosis is correct. It is the poison of Qianji Powder. This poison is only circulated in the palace, so it is rare to be found outside. Therefore, there is basically no specific antidote."
"However, I can try to prepare an antidote, but it will take some time and require a lot of medicinal materials for me to experiment with."
Upon hearing this, the Emperor said:
"I know you have the pill that can prevent the toxin from spreading. Give it to the prince immediately to prevent the Thousand Machine Powder in his body from spreading. At the same time, I will give you time to prepare the antidote, but I hope it will be as soon as possible."
"Yes, I will do my best." Shi Lidie nodded.
After the emperor saw the prince, he left. Shi Lidie stayed here and worked with Imperial Doctor Jiang to study a plan for detoxification.
Then, Shi Lidie asked:
"Doctor Jiang, I wonder how Miss Lin is doing?"
"Lin Liangdi's condition is more critical. Although the prince was injured, none of the wounds were in vital areas. Lin Liangdi's wound was right in the vital area of her abdomen. The sword stabbed her quite deep, and she was deeply poisoned. In addition, she had a miscarriage..." Doctor Jiang did not finish his words, but just shook his head helplessly.
In his opinion, this Lin Liangdi basically didn't have much time left to live.
