Chapter 265: Drunk
When Li Dequan and the imperial physician hurriedly arrived outside Prince An's mansion, Chi Ying also happened to be riding back to the mansion on horseback.
Chi Ying didn't know the situation of the prince yet. He dismounted and bowed to Li Dequan. "Eunuch Li, why did you bring Lord Li, the head of the Imperial Court, to Prince An's Mansion today?"
"Lord Chiying, the prince is injured and unconscious, don't you know?"
"This subordinate deserves death. My master and I got separated on the way back to Beijing, and I just arrived at your house."
Li Dequan waved his whisk and said in a shrill voice, "Then let's go in and see the prince. If we are late, it will delay the treatment of the disease."
"My father-in-law is right."
After saying that, Chi Ying quickly led Eunuch Li and Imperial Physician Li straight to the Prince's bedroom.
I saw the prince lying on his bed with the arrow still stuck in his back.
The imperial physician immediately stepped forward to check the wound on his back. Seeing the black blood flowing out, the imperial physician said, "The arrow did not hit a vital part, but it is poisonous. I must first remove the poisonous arrow for the prince."
After saying that, the imperial physician opened the medicine box, took out the hemostatic medicine, and immediately sprinkled the hemostatic powder after the arrow was pulled out.
Afterwards, the imperial physician began to carefully feel the prince's pulse, but as the time went on, the imperial physician's brows furrowed more and more, and the expression on his face became more and more solemn.
Seeing this, Chi Ying felt that the situation was not good. He could not help but ask, "Li Imperial Physician, what kind of poison did my master get?"
The imperial physician put down his hand that was feeling the pulse, and said with a guilty conscience, "I am ashamed, but I really can't tell what kind of poison the prince has been poisoned with."
Then he added, "But the prince's pulse is extremely chaotic. If he can't take the antidote in time, I'm afraid he will be dead in three days."
Upon hearing this, Chi Ying's eyes turned red with anxiety. "Doctor Li, you are the head of the Imperial Hospital. You are the best doctor in the entire hospital. If you can't tell what kind of poison my master has, I'm afraid other doctors will not be able to tell. Please take a closer look at my master."
Li Dequan also spoke up, "Doctor Li, the emperor asked you to do your best to save the prince, you should check his pulse carefully again. If the prince cannot be saved, be careful that your life will be in danger."
Imperial Physician Li had a look of panic on his face. He took the prince's hand and carefully felt his pulse, but his medical skills were limited and he couldn't tell what was wrong.
He said with an embarrassed look on his face, "Eunuch Li, Lord Chiying, I really can't tell what kind of poison the prince was poisoned by. I heard that the prince is good friends with Divine Doctor Bai, and Divine Doctor Bai is the last disciple of the Ghost Doctor. I'm afraid that Divine Doctor Bai and the Ghost Doctor are the only ones in this world who can cure it."
When Chi Ying heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. He patted his forehead and thought with some self-blame: Why did I become stupid when I was anxious? How could I forget about Bai Lingxuan?
So Chi Ying immediately sent someone to invite Doctor Bai, and Li Dequan also brought Imperial Physician Li back to the palace to report.
Leng Feng and Leng Yu received the news that the prince had been poisoned and was unconscious. Leng Feng immediately ran to the backyard of the farm to inform Qian Huan.
At this time, the servants in the backyard of the farm, led by Manager Ji, were stirring the soy sauce in the jar with long wooden sticks.
Qianhuan took a gourd ladle and scooped up the soy sauce from the jar from time to time to check the oil production.
As soon as Leng Feng entered the backyard of the farm, he said to Qianhuan anxiously, "Miss Qianhuan, the master has returned to Beijing, the master..."
"Leng Feng, is this true? Zi Yu is back?"
Upon hearing the news that the prince had returned to the capital, Qianhuan's face immediately broke into a huge smile. Before Leng Feng could finish his words, she couldn't wait to confirm the truth of the news.
The person she had been thinking about day and night for three months finally came back. How could she not be happy?
Leng Feng nodded, but his expression was a little ugly.
"The master has indeed returned, but he was assassinated on his way back to the capital. He was shot in the back by a poisoned arrow and is now unconscious and in critical condition."
As soon as she finished speaking, the gourd ladle in Qianhuan's hand fell to the ground with a clang.
Yin Hua quickly supported the pale, shaky person and said, "Miss, are you okay?"
Qianhuan waved her hand, then immediately looked at Leng Feng anxiously and ordered, "Leng Feng, let's go back to Prince An's Mansion right now. I want to see him."
"Well, Miss Qianhuan, let's go quickly. The person the master wants to see most right now must be you."
Qianhuan didn't even take the carriage, but rode Taxue and Lengfeng directly back to Prince An's Mansion.
When the people at the gate of the mansion saw that the person coming was Qianhuan, they did not stop her and opened the door directly.
As soon as Qianhuan entered the mansion, she went straight to the prince's bedroom.
At this time, Doctor Bai had been invited over by the people sent by Chiying.
Qianhuan saw Chiying standing guard outside the bedroom and asked anxiously, "Chiying, how is your master?"
"Miss Qianhuan, my master has been poisoned. Doctor Bai is giving him acupuncture inside. I don't know what his current condition is."
Qianhuan was very anxious, but she did not rush in to disturb Doctor Bai. Instead, she stood quietly outside the door like Chiying.
Time passed by minute by minute, and for the people outside the door, it was really a huge torment.
Finally, the door creaked and Doctor Bai opened it from the inside.
Qianhuan immediately stepped forward and asked, "Doctor Bai, how is Ziyu doing?"
Chi Ying also looked at Doctor Bai with an anxious expression.
Bai Lingxuan was probably a little tired from the acupuncture. There was some sweat on his forehead and he looked very exhausted.
He said in a gentle tone, "Miss Qianhuan, the poison that Ziyu was poisoned with is called Drunkenness. Those poisoned by this poison will continue to sleep, have clear consciousness, but cannot wake up from the dream. If you don't take the antidote within three days, you will never wake up."
When Qianhuan and Chiying heard this answer, their faces changed drastically.
Qianhuan asked, "Doctor Bai, since you know this poison, do you know if there is an antidote for it?"
"I do have the antidote for Zui Menglong, but one of the ingredients is extremely rare. My master and I have never obtained this ingredient, so we have never made a prescription."
"Doctor Bai, what is the name of that rare herb? Can you tell me where I can find it? Even if I lose everything I have, I will find it within three days."
"That medicine is called Xuefu Fruit. It grows in extremely cold places and bears fruit only once every hundred years. Currently, in the entire continent, only the royal family of Beilin Kingdom has three Xuefu Fruits. Taking this Xuefu Fruit alone can prolong life, so I guess His Majesty of Beilin Kingdom would not easily take out the Xuefu Fruit."
Qianhuan said with a firm face, "Doctor Bai, don't worry. No matter how difficult it is, no matter what the cost, I will definitely get this medicinal material for Ziyu. However, Beilin Country is a long way from Beijing. Even if we set out for Beilin Country right now, I'm afraid we won't be able to get back within three days."
"Miss, don't worry. I have just used the Nine-Turn Silver Needle Method taught by my master to temporarily suppress the poison for Ziyu. He will be safe for a month. But you must make sure to get the herbs and come back within a month. Otherwise, if you still don't take the antidote after a month, even the Great Luo Immortal will be unable to save you."
Qianhuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, Doctor Bai, I will definitely get the medicine back within a month."
Chi Ying suddenly knelt down and said, "Miss Qianhuan, the journey to Beilin Country is long, and there are many unknown dangers on the road. Let me go and ask for medicine. It's all my fault for not protecting the master. Please give me a chance to atone for my sins."
Qianhuan helped him up, "Chiying, don't worry, I will take Lengfeng and Lengyu with me, and you can pick some secret guards to escort me along the way. Ziyu is in this state now, you have to stay in the capital and protect him well."
After listening to Qianhuan, Chi Ying also felt that what she said made sense. If those people came to harm the master again, he would feel uneasy if he was not with the master.
He had no choice but to nod and agree.
Bai Lingxuan didn't expect Qianhuan to go to Beilin Country to ask for medicine herself. He said with admiration, "Miss Qianhuan, although people in Beijing say that you are of low birth and laugh at you for not being worthy of Ziyu, I feel that someone like you who can share weal and woe with the one you love and never leave him is the one who deserves him the most. It is Ziyu's fortune to have a lover like you who is affectionate and righteous in this life. As his friend, I am happy for him. I just gave Ziyu an acupuncture. He will be sober after half an incense stick. Miss, please go in and talk to him."
Qianhuan bowed her hands and bowed her head to thank him earnestly, "Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Bai. It is Ziyu's fortune to have a friend like Doctor Bai."
