Back to the day I married my second wife, I turned around and married my ex-husband's uncle

Soon the King of Chu was carried back to his room to rest. Jiang Ningwan was about to close the door when she unexpectedly saw Fan Shixian following her.

"Is there anything else, Miss Fan?" Jiang Ningwan asked.

Fan Shixian smiled. "Since the princess doesn't understand the poison of Qisongye, I do. Could you let me stay here and help the prince detoxify him?"

Jiang Ningwan was a little surprised and gave her a deep look, "Isn't this inappropriate?"

"If the emperor approves you, please come again."

Jiang Ningwan closed the door after she finished speaking.

I thought Fan Shixian would give up at this point, but I didn't expect that she actually went to beg the emperor for a long time.

After a while, Hai Dehong came in person with Fan Shixian.

"Princess, the Emperor said that Miss Fan should accompany the prince tonight to prevent his life from being in danger. He will be sent back to the capital for medical treatment at dawn tomorrow."

After hearing this, Jiang Ningwan said nothing more and let Fan Shixian stay.

Although Fan Shixian caused some trouble, fortunately it was only for one night.

After Fan Shixian stayed, she almost stayed awake all night, staying in the room, taking Qin Shuangchi's pulse at any time and observing his condition.

No medication was used for treatment.

In fact, he was just keeping an eye on Jiang Ningwan, fearing that she would kill and poison the King of Chu.

And so we waited until dawn.

The emperor sent Jiang Zhouye to lead people to escort the King of Chu down the mountain and return to Beijing.

The autumn hunt ended early.

After returning to the Prince of Chu's Mansion, Imperial Physician Li came to see the patient immediately. After the examination, his face looked solemn.

"This is indeed the poison of Qisong leaves, which can only be found deep in the mountains. This poison is not life-threatening, but I'm afraid it will affect the prince's old illness. We must keep a close eye on the prince's condition."

Doctor Li hesitated and said, "I think we should prepare the wheelchair we had earlier."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan was shocked, "What! So serious!"

Doctor Li nodded.

Then he bowed and said, "I will go get the medicine first."

After Doctor Li prescribed the medicine, Jiang Ningwan stayed in the room with Qin Shuangchi.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Chun came to report: "Princess, the eldest daughter of the Fan family wishes to see you."

Jiang Ningwan was slightly startled.

Why did she come to the palace?

Jiang Ningwan got up and walked out of the room. When she came to the front door, she saw Fan Shixian with an anxious look on her face.

"How is the prince?" Fan Shixian looked inside anxiously.

Jiang Ningwan crossed her arms and looked at her nonchalantly, "What does it have to do with you?"

"Isn't Miss Fan's meddling a bit too much?"

Fan Shixian realized that she had lost her composure and calmed down a bit. She said in a cold voice: "Don't worry about you laughing at me. There are many women in Jingdu City who have never admired the King of Chu. I am worried about the safety of the King of Chu, so it is reasonable for me to come and see him."

"What's more, I was the one who cured the King of Chu of his poison. I am qualified to continue treating him."

Jiang Ningwan smiled faintly, "I understand that Miss Fan is worried about the prince's injury, but the imperial physician has already seen him, so there is no need for Miss Fan to worry."

"This is the Prince Chu's Mansion, not your home."

"It's not a good look for you, a young lady waiting to be married, to go to the Prince of Chu's mansion. You'd better go back."

Jiang Ningwan didn't intend to let Fan Shixian in.

After hearing this, Fan Shixian had no choice but to give up, but her eyes suddenly became sharper.

"Princess Chu, I hope you understand that the life and death of the Chu Palace depends on the King of Chu. If he dies, the consequences will be something you cannot afford!"

Fan Shixian looked directly at Jiang Ningwan with sharp eyes.

Jiang Ningwan chuckled, "I understand these things better than you do. I don't need Miss Fan to remind me."

After saying that, she turned around and went back to the mansion.

I was thinking about something, wondering if Fan Shixian was really kind or had other intentions.

However, she still didn't want Fan Shixian to get involved. Everything she did was what the emperor wanted to see.

If someone else interferes, they might be killed.

I hope Fan Shixian won’t get involved again.

Fan Shixian stood at the door gritting her teeth. Since she couldn't enter the palace, there was nothing she could do and she could only wait for the opportunity.

……

The King of Chu was poisoned while hunting in autumn, and the news spread quickly.

Imperial Physician Li visited the King of Chu every day to treat him, but his condition did not improve.

In the first few days, he was still able to walk, but his old injuries ached slightly and he felt listless.

But later on, the situation gradually worsened.

He is no longer able to stand and walk properly and has to rely on a wheelchair.

The entire Chu Palace was dead silent every day, and everyone's face looked very ugly, revealing unspeakable grief and sorrow.

Jiang Ningwan was afraid that such an atmosphere would be detrimental to the King of Chu's condition, so she forced a smile and pushed him out.

"How about we go to the lake and see the scenery today?"

Qin Shuangchi said in a gentle tone, with a smile, "Okay."

Jiang Ningwan pushed Qin Shuangchi onto the carriage. When they passed by the pastry shop on the street, Jiang Ningwan pushed him down to buy some cakes.

Many people saw it along the way.

The news spread quickly.

Many people were talking about it for a while.

"Is the King of Chu lame again?"

"I heard he got poisoned while hunting in the mountains during the autumn, and it triggered his old illness. Sigh..."

By the time the emperor returned from autumn hunting, the news had already spread.

Upon learning that the King of Chu was back in a wheelchair, the Emperor changed his route and went to the King of Chu's Mansion before returning to the palace.

The huge team stopped directly in front of the gate of Prince Chu's Palace.

When the emperor saw that the King of Chu was really sitting in a wheelchair, his face suddenly changed and his eyes turned red.

"Sixteen, why are you..."

"Greetings to my royal brother." Qin Shuangchi supported himself and tried to stand up to salute, but he couldn't get up at all.

The emperor quickly pressed his shoulder and said in a heavy tone, "No need to be so polite."

"Hasn't your poison been cured? Why is the situation so serious?"

"Has the imperial physician examined it?"

Qin Shuangchi nodded, "Doctor Li comes to see me every day, but... I'm afraid I won't be able to recover in a short time."

The emperor's expression turned grim, and he looked at Jiang Ningwan again, "Jiang Ningwan, don't you have any other options?"

Jiang Ningwan lowered her eyes and shook her head helplessly, "It's all my fault. I led the prince deep into the woods and he was injured by the Qisong leaves. I drink this detoxifying soup every day, but the prince has too many old injuries..."

The emperor sighed softly and said, "Let the Imperial Hospital think of a solution!"

"Sixteen's leg was finally healed, how could he..."

Qin Shuangchi smiled and said, "Don't worry, my royal brother. I'm used to being in a wheelchair. It's nothing."

When the emperor saw this, his face was filled with heartache.

After returning to the palace, he asked several imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau to come and treat the patient, and he also sent countless precious medicinal herbs.

Everyone said that the emperor was kind and affectionate. He was so worried about the King of Chu's illness that he was bedridden and had not attended the morning court for three consecutive days.

The court officials all advised the emperor to be more open-minded.

The emperor looked haggard and worried as he said, "Sixteen has been close to me since childhood. Seeing his leg become lame and then healed, and now it's lame again, really keeps me awake at night."

"Immediately post an imperial edict, inviting all the miraculous doctors in the world to come. If anyone can cure the King of Chu, I will reward him handsomely!"

The emperor’s edict was posted that day.

Many doctors wanted to give it a try, and for a while there were many more people in the Prince of Chu's palace.

This also gave Jiang Ningwan a headache.

Fortunately, this situation only lasted for three or five days, and they were unable to cure the King of Chu. After the news spread, no one dared to come.

But the emperor was eager to protect his brother, so the news spread.

Gained a good reputation.
