Surprise! I emptied the emperor's private treasury before exile

Chapter 263 Entering the Palace

When the two imperial doctors saw the eldest prince on the stretcher, they immediately cooperated tacitly, with one stepping forward to check his wound while the other took his pulse.

After taking the pulse, the imperial physician frowned and asked solemnly, "May I ask the King of Qin, how long has the King of Shu been poisoned? Did he take any medicine to suppress the poison?"

Hearing this, the Fifth Prince did not speak yet.

Zhang Rang immediately lost his composure. His face suddenly changed and he said in a trembling voice, "The poison in the King of Shu is very serious. What should I do? How can I explain this to the Emperor?"

As he spoke, he turned around in a hurry, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead again.

This appearance shocked the two imperial doctors. They waved their hands and explained anxiously, "Eunuch, you misunderstood. You misunderstood."

"Although the poison in His Royal Highness the King of Shu's body is powerful, fortunately it was discovered in time and he took an antidote to suppress it. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous." said an imperial physician, with a lingering fear on his face.

Another imperial physician immediately added, "Now we just need to remove the remaining toxins from the body, carefully recuperate, and rest for a period of time."

"However, we must be extremely careful in the process of removing the remaining poison. We must not be negligent in the slightest. Any mistake may result in residual poison and affect the recovery of His Royal Highness the King of Shu."

The two imperial doctors explained the eldest prince's condition in detail.

They knew very well that this diagnosis and treatment was related to the safety of the eldest prince as well as their own future and destiny, so they were particularly detailed and serious when describing the illness, as if they were closely binding their own honor and disgrace with the eldest prince.

As expected, their bet was right. Although Zhang Rang was angry, he knew the priorities. "Are you sure? Your Highness the King of Shu only needs to cleanse the remaining poison and rest?"

He stared at the two doctors sharply, with a hint of doubt in his tone.

The two doctors looked at each other with a firm look, and said in unison: "We can use our own lives as a guarantee. We have been practicing medicine for many years, so we are sure of this. Don't worry, eunuch."

Zhang Rang was well aware of the moral character of the imperial physicians. Seeing them so confident, he felt relieved, but he also began to think about the antidote that the eldest prince was taking.

Zhang Rang then turned to the Fifth Prince and said, "Your Highness, Prince of Qin, I have a question for you. What medicine did you give to Your Highness, Prince of Shu? I am worried that this medicine will conflict with the subsequent prescription for removing the remaining poison. I hope Your Highness will not blame me for being nosy."

"How could that be? Eunuch Zhang is also thinking about my eldest brother." The Fifth Prince said, but his eyes turned to Chu Ci.

Seeing this, Chu Ci rolled her beautiful eyes and gave the Fifth Prince a blank look. Then she took a step forward and said, "Eunuch Zhang, the antidote is the Baijie Pill made by my master, Divine Doctor Hua."

"However, because the medicine used is rare and the herbs needed for refining are scarce and hard to find, only two pills were refined."

"Of course, if the two imperial doctors need that prescription, this princess will give it to them without reservation."

The two imperial doctors were not fools either. They bowed and thanked her at the same time, and said respectfully, "Thank you, Princess Yixin. It is a great honor for us to be willing to give us this precious prescription."

"We two will remember the princess's great kindness and will do our best to eliminate the remaining poison for His Royal Highness the King of Shu and live up to the princess' trust."

Zhang Rang secretly complained: It was clearly his suggestion, but I didn't expect that these two imperial doctors would benefit from it.

Although he was full of dissatisfaction, he also knew that this was not the time to lose his temper.

Therefore, Zhang Rang could only suppress his unhappiness, coughed falsely, and said, "If that's the case, I'll be relieved."

"Your Highness Prince of Shu, Your Highness Prince of Qin, shall we go to the palace now? Don't make the Emperor wait anxiously. We must not delay the meeting with the Emperor because of such trivial matters and cause him to be furious."

Chu Ci: Haha, who is the one talking nonsense the whole time?

Chu Ci kept complaining in his heart, but his face remained calm and he didn't show any anger at all.

The others were even more alert and did not dare to slack off. Even the eldest and fifth princes, who were noble princes, knew the pros and cons and were unwilling to make enemies with the eunuchs who were close to the emperor.

"In that case, I'd like to trouble Eunuch Zhang to lead the way." The fifth prince smiled, his tone sincere and humble.

When Zhang Rang heard this, his eyes flickered slightly, and he seemed to be thinking about something, but he pretended not to notice anything and led Chu Ci and his party to the Queen's palace.

At this time, not only the emperor and empress were in the palace, but the eldest prince's mother, Concubine Shu, was also anxiously waiting in the room.

Therefore, when she saw her son being carried on a stretcher from afar, Concubine Shu no longer cared about etiquette and ran to the eldest prince with her skirt lifted up. "My son, what a punishment you have suffered!"

Shufei's tears flowed like a spring, her voice trembled, and she stretched out her hands to touch her son's injured arm, but was afraid of hurting him.

The eldest prince naturally knew his mother's temperament, and he quickly stood up, trying to hold back the pain and comforting her: "Mother, my son is only slightly injured, it's nothing serious."

Unfortunately, Concubine Shu didn't believe it at all. "Minor injury? Would you carry someone with a minor injury into the palace? My son, don't lie to me!"

After saying that, she returned to the house in a hurry, "Your Majesty, I only have this one son. If anything happens to him, I will not be able to live anymore!"

"You are busy with government affairs all day long, and I have never complained, but you didn't take good care of our child. Now he is seriously injured. Are you worthy of my years of companionship and dedication?"

Concubine Shu cried with tears in her eyes, her voice was shrill, and her body was shaking slightly. If this happened in the past, it would have made the emperor feel very distressed.

Unfortunately, her words contained complaints about the emperor, and she said it so bluntly in front of the empress. The emperor is also a man, with the dignity and pride of an emperor, so he naturally felt angry.

The emperor's face darkened, his brows knitted, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Shu Fei, don't lose your sense of proportion! The King of Shu is not only my son, but also the King of Shu of my Great Zhou."

How could Concubine Shu, who could firmly sit on the position of one of the four concubines, be a simple and reckless person?

Hearing this, the crying stopped instantly.

Otherwise, Concubine Shu forced herself to suppress the dissatisfaction that was surging like a tide in her heart, and tried to make her voice sound calm and respectful: "I'm sorry, it was my fault."

At this time, the guards carefully carried the eldest prince into the house.

The Queen did not want to disturb the meeting between her and her son because of the matter between Concubine Shu and her son, so she immediately said with a sweet smile: "Your Majesty, Concubine Shu also loves her son very much."

"I am worried and confused, but I don't really blame the emperor."

"Your Majesty, please forgive Concubine Shu this time, considering that the King of Shu is injured?"

"I believe that Concubine Shu will be more careful with her words and actions in the future and will not act impulsively like this again."
