You died to save me, I promise you a lifetime

Chapter 36 Life hangs by a thread

The imperial physician replied carefully.

"Your Majesty, you are in good health. You were just angry earlier. I have already given you acupuncture. You will be fine after taking a few more doses of medicine.

Please keep a calm mind and don’t be overly happy or sad anymore…”

The Great Yan Emperor raised his hand impatiently to interrupt: "Alright, get off!"

Keep a peaceful mind?

There are so many bad things happening, how can I keep a peaceful mind?

After the old doctor left, the Great Yan Emperor looked at Ming Xiao with blazing eyes, "Let's deal with those people when they come back. They are so incompetent, what's the point of keeping them around?"

Mingxiao was stunned and quickly knelt down to beg for mercy.

"Master, they haven't returned yet, and we don't know what went wrong. Please show some leniency and give them a chance to explain.

Furthermore, the people we sent to Fengming Mountain this time are all elite members of the Dragon Shadow Guard. If they are killed like this, the combat effectiveness of the Dragon Shadow Guard will be greatly affected. Please..."

The Dragon Shadow Guards were talents cultivated with huge amounts of money. They were carefully selected and hard to come by, let alone the elite among the Dragon Shadow Guards.

The Great Yan Emperor finally calmed down and said impatiently, "Forget it, we can't blame them completely. After all, they are facing the God of War who was once praised by the world.

We have failed countless times, so we don't mind this one more time. Go, send a few people to investigate and see what his situation is."

Ming Xiao agreed and quietly left the imperial study with Ying Shiwu.

Soon, several figures rushed out of the palace and headed towards the east, south, west and north of the capital, walking into the streets and alleys, looking for famous medical clinics in the capital.

An hour later, several figures met in the palace.

After Ming Xiao asked them about the situation one by one, he entered the imperial study again.

"Master, I have sent many people to various major medical clinics to ask questions. The doctors all said that the War King had a high fever after being caught in the rain, which caused the poison to attack him. His condition is critical. They have examined him but are at a loss as to what to do."

The Great Yan Emperor's eyes lit up after hearing this: "So, this time his poison attack is different from the previous ones?"

"It's a little different. This time he got a fever from being caught in the rain, and coupled with the poison, it's probably more serious than before."

"Haha... He narrowly escaped death during his trip to Fengming Mountain, so what? Isn't his life hanging by a thread now? Without an antidote, his poison will only attack more and more frequently, each time becoming more and more painful, and eventually he will die from the poison.

For the sake of preventing the dynasty from changing in Dayan and for the sake of ensuring that future generations can preserve the legacy I left behind, I did nothing wrong.

If he wants to blame someone, he can only blame himself for being too outstanding. A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind! It’s time, it’s fate!

The Great Yan Emperor paused and said to Eunuch Yao, "Huaian, please bring a royal physician with you to the General's Mansion to treat Prince Zhan. After all, we are brothers.

If there’s a chance…”

Having said that, he took out a porcelain bottle from the drawer, thought for a moment, and then put it back. "Forget it, he's almost dead. Don't waste my hard-earned Thousand Machine Poison."

Eunuch Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to do it.

Fighting against the Prince's Mansion.

Zhao Jingchen was lying on the bed, his face pale and his pulse intermittent, looking like he would take his last breath at any time.

Shang Jue looked at him and smiled at Old Xu, saying, "Old Xu, I admire your skills so much!

If I were not so foolish, I would shamelessly worship you. Even if I could learn even a little bit of your skills, my life would be worthwhile."

Elder Xu waved his hands repeatedly, "Military Advisor Shang is incredibly talented, able to mastermind strategic plans and win battles thousands of miles away with ease. At such a young age, he's already accompanied the prince on his campaigns. I'm incredibly envious!"

Zhao Jingchen coughed lightly and said, "Alright, they're probably coming soon. You guys should step aside for now. Ah Zhao and Manager Qu can stay here."

Shang Jue nodded and left.

Elder Xu frowned and said, "Your Highness, I can't leave. What if they do something bad? This way, after I draw back the curtain, I can see their movements clearly without being discovered by them. I can guarantee that nothing bad will happen."

"Alright!" Zhao Jingchen nodded. "Don't worry, I'm just pretending to be sick. I'm not really sick."

Li Mingzhao also patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Xu, I will keep an eye on them without blinking. If they dare to do anything bad, I will kill them directly."

But Elder Xu warned seriously, "Don't joke around. That guy is very cunning and can do anything despicable. Be careful not to fall into his trap again. You won't always be so lucky to have someone deliver medicine to you."

Li Mingzhao put away the smile on his face and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Xu, I know the seriousness of the matter!"

Just as everything was ready, a guard led people into the yard and then stepped into Zhao Jingchen's bedroom.

"Director Qu, the Emperor has sent Eunuch Yao with the imperial physician to see the prince."

Chief Steward Qu glanced indifferently at Eunuch Yao and the imperial physician and said, "Thank you both for your hard work, and thank you for your concern, Your Majesty! The doctors all said that our prince is not sure if he can survive this.

Alas, life is unpredictable. It is also our prince's fault that he has bad luck and bad fate. He has no noble people in his life. He has been injured or poisoned over the years and has suffered a lot.

We feel so sad watching this. If we knew which heartless and rotten bastard did this, we would not only sacrifice our own lives, but also fight with him to get to the bottom of it.

When we have time, we will go to the palace and ask the Queen Mother if she has forgotten that our prince has a son.

Eunuch Yao pretended not to hear, and the imperial physician put down his medicine box awkwardly and began to take Zhao Jingchen's pulse.

After a moment, the imperial physician shook his head and said, "Your Highness's condition is very complicated. I am not very skilled, but I am unable to help you."

Manager Qu's face was filled with sadness.

"The prince is already like this, and we are in no mood to see you off. Goodbye!"

Eunuch Yao and the imperial physician bowed to everyone and left with the guards.

After the man walked away, Chief Manager Qu spat, "Pah, what a hypocritical bastard! I think he has completely forgotten the late emperor's instructions."

Li Mingzhao gave him a thumbs up and said, "Master Qu, you are really amazing. You dare to make indirect accusations in front of Eunuch Yao."

"They deserve to be scolded. The late emperor had repeatedly instructed them to treat the prince well, but they forgot their roots as soon as they ascended the throne."

Zhao Jingchen sat up and said, "Manager Qu, let's not talk about the past anymore."

On the other side, Eunuch Yao and the other man left the palace. No one spoke a word and they returned to the palace to report.

The Great Yan Emperor glanced at the two of them and said, "Tell me."

The imperial physician stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the prince's condition is indeed very serious. I am helpless."

The Great Yan Emperor waved his hand. After the imperial physician left, he looked at Eunuch Yao and asked, "Huaian, is the situation really as the imperial physician said?"

"Yes!"

The Great Yan Emperor was obviously relieved.

Eunuch Yao wanted to say something, but he held it back when he saw this.

General's Mansion.

Anton came back and reported: "Miss, Mu Qinxue received a letter from Lin Shizi. The content is only four words, please be patient."

After hearing this, Mu Yunge walked to the window and scoffed, "There's a rumor out there that the prince is critically ill from the poison. The emperor, whose plans have failed, might feel a little better after hearing this news. What a bunch of beasts."

Annan chuckled, "In a couple of days, seeing the prince alive and kicking will surely piss them off to death."

"That means a new round of calculations is about to begin." An Bei shook his head.

Anxi took over the conversation: "In my opinion, the prince should fight back."

Mu Yunge listened to what they said and counted the days on his fingers.

"Today is the fifth day of the fourth lunar month. Uncle Mu and the others should have reached the border..."
