You died to save me, I promise you a lifetime

The secret guard presented the scroll with both hands.

"Your Highness, this is the news sent back by our people in the palace."

Zhao Jingchen took it, opened it and sneered.

"You were absolutely right. After weighing the pros and cons, that person convicted the Second Brother without asking any questions. The Second Brother will have to fend for himself. Fifty lashes is just the beginning."

Mu House.

Mu Yunge and the others had no external interference and were happy to concentrate on practicing martial arts.

But Mu Qinxue and her daughter were not so lucky.

Mu Qinxue stayed in bed for nearly half a month. The food she ate was all taboo, and the servants took great care of her. The injury that should have healed in half a month showed no signs of improvement.

The wound only had a little scab on the edge, and the middle part was still soaked with blood.

If the wounds on her buttocks were slow to heal from the caning, then Li's whip wounds, being relatively minor, should have healed faster, right? But they still wouldn't scab over.

The court doctor shook his head repeatedly: "I have tried every possible method and used the best healing medicine. I don't know what is going on. It is really strange."

Li endured the pain in her body and called the nanny beside her: "Someone must have done something. I have lived my whole life and have never seen a wound that could not heal.

Go find a doctor who's good at treating injuries and bring him back. Go quietly so as not to alert anyone else in the mansion."

The nanny took the order and left quietly.

Li was scolding her servants angrily when the doorman came to report that someone was visiting the Yongguo Mansion.

"Who is coming?"

"It's a mammy."

"Well, go and bring it in."

Li quickly tidied herself up and asked the maid to help her sit down.

After a while, a nanny, led by a servant, walked into Li's bedroom.

"Madam, I'm here on the orders of the Duke's wife to visit you and Miss Mu. I wonder if you're feeling better now?"

Li hurriedly bowed, "Thank you for your concern, Madam. I'm not afraid of being laughed at by Madam, but I don't know what's going on, but Xue'er and I's injuries just won't heal..."

Afraid that she wouldn't believe him, he lifted his sleeve to reveal the wound on his arm.

The nanny was very surprised. "How could this be? Is Miss Mu like this too?"

Li nodded and instructed the maid, "I believe the Duke's wife is concerned about Xue'er's health. Take the nanny to the young lady's courtyard."

When the nanny arrived, Xiao Cui and others were changing Mu Qinxue's dressings, and they could hear Mu Qinxue's screams of pain from a long distance away.

"Ah, be gentle, do you want to hurt me to death?"

"Did you do anything? Why is my injury still so painful after such a long time? Wuuuu...it hurts so much!"

The nanny walked quietly to the door without notifying anyone, and saw that her wound was still red and swollen.

The nanny had no choice but to quietly retreat and left after exchanging a few polite words with Li.

The Mansion of Duke Yongguo.

After posting notices throughout the city for half a month and conducting a wide-ranging search, the whereabouts of the people from the Valley of Divine Doctors were still not found.

Doctors came to visit one after another, but none of them could explain Lin Jinhao's condition after examining him.

Lin Xiuye ​​and his wife were exhausted physically and mentally after experiencing repeated hopes and disappointments.

Seeing his son, who had been tortured by drugs to the point of being unrecognizable, becoming increasingly irritable and irritable, and attempting suicide many times without success, was heartbreaking.

"Son, as long as there's still a glimmer of hope, we won't give up, and you shouldn't give up either..."

Lin Jinhao had just woken up from a painful coma. Seeing that it was getting dark again, he looked at his father and mother in despair.

"What's the point of living like this except suffering? It would be better for me to die early and be reborn sooner."

The Duke's wife racked her brains, trying to find words to comfort him. Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, "Son, you still have Mu Qinxue. Do you want her to marry someone else?"

A glimmer of hope flashed in Lin Jinhao's eyes, "Xue'er, why hasn't she come to see me for so long?"

"Speaking of this, it's really strange. Today my mother sent someone to see her, and guess what?

The wounds on her body have not yet scabbed over, and the same is true for Mrs. Li. Both mother and daughter are unable to get out of bed.

The person sent asked the court doctor, but the doctor couldn't find the cause either. It was really strange.

My mother had heard people mention a few years ago that there was a miraculous medicine that could prevent injured people's wounds from healing. After thinking about it, my mother felt that they might have been tricked by someone.

So, it's not that she doesn't want to see you, it's that she's unable to do so. Please wait patiently, and when her injury heals, she will definitely come to accompany you."

This time, Lin Jinhao finally nodded and stopped trying to commit suicide for the time being.

As evening approached, Lin Xiuye ​​stood up, walked to the bedside, and whispered a few words in his ear.

After hearing this, Lin Jinhao nodded vigorously, "Father, please go quickly. Your son will be fine and will wait for you to bring back good news."

Lin Xiuye ​​patted his bony hands and strode away.

The study of the Third Prince’s Mansion.

Lin Xiuye ​​happily bowed and said, "Congratulations, Your Highness! Even if the eldest prince is cured, he will not be able to take the throne."

Zhao Hongyi smiled and nodded: "Without his arms and legs, he has a hard time making a living, so he has no chance of becoming emperor.

However, he said that he was not the one who poisoned his cousin. In that situation, he would not lie.

It seems that the only one left is Zhao Hongyang.

Don't worry, uncle. By the end of the month at the latest, I will make him suffer a fate worse than death. Then, I will force him to hand over the antidote."

Lin Xiuye ​​concealed his disappointment and reminded him, "Your Highness, find someone to report it and say that they accidentally discovered that the Second Prince was running an illegal mine. As for the Emperor..."

Zhao Hongyi took over the conversation, "Don't worry, after the emperor has dealt with the second prince, he will be made to vomit blood on the spot and be bedridden. The reason is that he is angry with the second prince and is overwhelmed by anger."

"Okay, pay attention to the details and don't let anyone get hold of you."

"Don't worry, uncle. Our plan is well-connected and there won't be any flaws. We've worked so hard for so long and we won't allow any mistakes to occur.

Let my cousin hold on a little longer. We are so close to achieving our wish. Let him not fall before success."

Lin Xiuye ​​gave a bitter smile, "Jin'er's condition isn't good. Her body has been drained by the poison. I don't know how much longer she can hold on."

"If not, I will send someone to the Second Prince's residence and force him to tell me the whereabouts of the antidote." Zhao Hongyi was about to call for help, but was stopped by Lin Xiuye.

"Your Highness, no! Doing so will alert the enemy and ruin our plan. Let's wait a little longer.

Your aunt and I will continue to look for a doctor and will wait until the day you achieve your wish and obtain the antidote."

Zhao Hongyi agreed firmly, "I will make sure everything goes according to our plan. Once the big thing is accomplished, I will immediately get the antidote back for my cousin."

Lin Xiuye ​​gave a few more detailed instructions before saying goodbye and leaving.

On the way back home, Lin Xiuye's legs felt as if they were carrying a thousand-pound weight and he couldn't take a step.

The son was still looking forward to good news, hoping that the antidote would be brought back to him. Now there is good news, but the antidote is still not available and he has to wait until the end of the month. Can he still hold on until the end of the month?

Lin Xiuye ​​calmed himself down and returned home in a cheerful manner.

When Lin Jinhao saw Lin Xiuye, hope ignited in his eyes, "Father..."
