Reborn Young Lady's Peerless Grace

He didn't want too many people to follow him today, and he didn't send any followers. It was understandable that they picked up the handkerchiefs themselves.

The prince saw Shen Wanqing's eyes flushed, but he couldn't bear to blame her. "Forget it, it's not your fault. Let's go and take a look."

As they were talking, they had already arrived at the lake. Shen Wanqing hurried over and looked around. She saw Shen Wanxiu standing by the lake, staring at the lake at a loss, wondering if she was too frightened or what.

"Second sister!" Shen Wanqing waved at her.

Seeing someone coming, Shen Wanxiu no longer cared about her image. She lifted her skirt and ran over anxiously: "Hurry up and save them! Someone fell into the lake."

However, at this moment Shen Wanqing keenly noticed that Shen Wanxiu's expression was not right. She saw that her face was pale, her eyes were staring at the calm lake in horror, and her lips were trembling slightly.

Shen Wanqing's heart tightened, and she instantly realized that the situation was not good. She hurriedly turned around and shouted to the palace servants beside her: "Quick! Go down to the lake and save them!"

The prince also looked solemn, and immediately ordered his attendants: "Hurry and find the guards!"

Everyone was in a panic, and several young eunuchs who could swim jumped into the lake without hesitation. However, soon after entering the water, they let out a cry of horror, flailing their limbs in the water as if they had encountered something extremely terrifying.

Immediately afterwards, the guards rushed into the water to rescue them, but something unusual also happened. Several people suddenly sank in the lake, and strange ripples appeared on the surface of the lake.

Shen Wanxiu was already in tears at this time. She told the prince in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, the person who fell into the water was the Second Prince. I killed him. It's all my fault!"

The prince was shocked when he heard this, "What on earth is going on?"

Shen Wanxiu burst into tears and said, "I fell while picking up the handkerchief, and it was the Second Prince who caught me. But I panicked and struggled, causing the Second Prince to slip into the lake. And then... then he sank strangely."

The palace maids nearby also began to talk.

"This abandoned lake has always been eerie. I heard people drowned there in the past, and then it was abandoned. Maybe there's filth and dirt hidden at the bottom of the lake, and there's something unclean."

"Yes, this lake is usually eerie and has an evil aura."

Upon hearing these comments, the prince shouted angrily, "Shut up! Stop your nonsense!"

Everyone suddenly fell silent.

Meanwhile, the guards who were rescuing him from the lake finally found the Second Prince after some effort. When they brought him ashore, everyone present gasped. He was covered in weeds, his face purple, and completely lifeless, like a cold corpse.

The prince was extremely anxious and shouted, "Quick! Press on his chest and make him spit out the water!"

The guards quickly followed the prince's instructions. After a period of intense pressure, the third prince finally spat out a few mouthfuls of lake water and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Send him back to the prince's palace quickly and call the imperial physician!" the prince ordered anxiously.

Everyone hurriedly carried the second prince away, and the entire imperial garden was in chaos.

Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, news suddenly came from the Second Prince's residence that the Second Prince had a high fever and was talking nonsense. The guards hurried into the palace to call for the imperial physician.

When the emperor learned of this, he was furious: "What a bunch of losers! They can't even take care of a prince!"

Immediately, the emperor sent more imperial doctors to the prince's mansion for treatment.

Suddenly, the lights in the Prince's mansion were brightly lit, and the imperial doctors were bustling in and out. Some were discussing prescriptions, while others were giving acupuncture to the Third Prince. The atmosphere was extremely tense.

After a busy period, the second prince's high fever finally subsided, but he did not wake up for a long time. He was still lying in bed with his eyes closed and his face pale.

An experienced old doctor decided to use acupuncture to try to wake the second prince up.

Silver needles were inserted into the second prince's acupuncture points one by one. Everyone held their breath and watched nervously.

Finally, the second prince slowly opened his eyes, but his eyes were dull and lifeless, like a dead person without a soul.

"Second Prince, how do you feel?" the imperial physician asked cautiously.

The second prince did not answer, but just stared blankly at the ceiling, muttering to himself, and no one could hear what he was saying.

Shen Wanqing and Shen Wanxiu hurried over after learning that the second prince had woken up.

"Second Prince, you scared us." Shen Wanqing's eyes were full of concern.

Shen Wanxiu burst into tears: "It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have suffered this disaster."

The second prince still did not respond, as if he was immersed in his own world.

In the days that followed, the Second Prince's condition showed no improvement. The Emperor inquired about his condition daily, and the entire palace was shrouded in a gloomy haze.

The prince was also worried about this matter and came to visit often.

"Second brother, you must get better." The prince held the second prince's hand with a heavy tone.

The imperial physicians racked their brains and constantly adjusted prescriptions and treatment plans.

Because the second prince's condition was too serious, the guards around the second prince went to the palace to ask for an audience with the second prince's mother, Concubine De.

With such a big commotion, the emperor must find out the reason.

"What's so interesting about that abandoned lake?"

"The situation is already like this, we have to wake the prince up first." Empress Defei just kept wiping away her tears, and she looked much more haggard these past few days.

She only has this one son, and if anything happens to him, she will die with him.

The emperor felt distressed seeing this. The Second Prince was also his son, so he naturally couldn't let him just sleep and not wake up. So he called a few more imperial doctors to the Second Prince's residence and told them to make sure he woke up.

Several imperial physicians carefully examined the Second Prince's condition, all with frowns on their faces.

"He's fine now, but if the Second Prince doesn't wake up, how are we supposed to report back to the palace?"

"I do have a plan, but I wonder if it will work?"

One of the old doctors came up with a solution, but he didn't dare to jump to conclusions.

"Now that you have a good idea, why not try it? We'll bear the consequences together."

Several imperial doctors nodded to each other and asked the old doctor to give it a try, hoping that the patient could really wake up.

"Then I'll try acupuncture."

The old doctor inserted needles into the second prince, and he indeed woke up. However, he just sat up with his eyes empty and lifeless, as if he was controlled by something.

"this..........."

When the imperial doctors were worried, they heard the second prince shouting: "Don't hurt me, don't hurt me..."

After saying this, he closed his eyes and fell over again.

The imperial doctors looked at each other for a long time before someone said, "Isn't it possible that the Second Prince is possessed by some evil spirit?"

How could a normal patient have this situation? However, they did not believe in ghosts and gods. After confirming again and again that the second prince was not seriously injured, the imperial doctors returned to the palace to report.
