Chapter 46 The Scumbag Comes to Test the Waters
Xiao Yi waved his hand, telling Xiao Jinhua to lead everyone to do what they were doing. He was going to meet this Prince Qing. The Xiao family hadn't even come looking for him yet, and he had delivered himself to their doorstep!
Mo Liuyun had no idea what this scumbag was up to. She had just seen him at the mansion that morning, and now he was at her maternal grandfather's house, probably to inquire about her maternal uncle's condition.
Then he took out a pill from his pocket: "Uncle, take this when you get back to your room. Even the imperial physician can only diagnose you with severe poisoning and incurable injuries, and a pulse indicating that you are on your deathbed." Seeing the worried looks in his aunt's and mother's eyes, Mo Liuyun smiled and said: "This medicine is non-toxic and will not harm your body!" Sure enough, everyone breathed a sigh of relief!
"Alright." The lady helped me back to my room. Mo Liuyun and his family also went with Xiao Jinhua to settle in.
Xiao Yi led his entourage to the gate to greet Nangong Chun. Upon arriving, they saw the Prince of Qing, dressed in a moon-white brocade robe, standing on his horse. Seeing Xiao Yi approach, the Prince dismounted and said, "I heard recently that the Duke of Protectorate was unwell, and my father had entrusted me with important matters, so I haven't been able to come. Today, I have had some free time, so I came to visit the Duke's residence. Seeing that the Duke is still as dignified as ever, I suppose he is well enough now?"
Xiao Yi bowed and said, "Your Highness, the Prince of Qing, is honored to have you here. I am sorry for not welcoming you properly. I am sorry for your concern. I was just unwittingly tricked by a villain. But heaven has eyes, and the wicked villain will eventually suffer the consequences."
"Grandfather is absolutely right! Since ancient times, evil has never triumphed over good. This treacherous villain, who uses any means to harm the loyal Liang, will surely meet a bad end, Your Highness, don't you think?" Xiao Jinhua smiled and bowed to Nangong Qing. After seeing his cousin off, he hurried over, afraid that his grandfather might lose control and directly beat Nangong Chun away. He hadn't expected his usually hot-tempered grandfather to actually curse the Prince of Qing, so he took the opportunity to curse him to his face—it was truly satisfying!
Nangong Qing's tone remained unchanged, but his expression was not good: "Oh, so the Duke's Mansion has found the culprit? If you two need anything, I will definitely lend a hand."
Xiao Yi said coldly, "Your Highness is kind, but such petty people are not worth mentioning. The Xiao family has served His Majesty for generations, relying not only on military achievements, but also on a loyal and patriotic heart. They dare to attack my father and me. I believe His Majesty will investigate the facts for our Duke's Mansion and give our Xiao family an explanation!"
Nangong Chun understood that Xiao Yi was indicating that the Xiao family was a royalist party and would not take sides. He had agreed to the marriage with the intention of winning over the Xiao family, but who would have thought that the Mo and Xiao families had hardly any contact since his betrothal to Mo Liuyun, to the point that people almost thought they had severed ties! Xiao Ruqin had not returned to her parents' home for three years.
After he accidentally and seriously injured Mo Liuyun at the last flower viewing banquet, he saw that her injuries seemed to be in grave danger. He also knew that there was no hope of winning her over. So he struck while the iron was hot and asked his maternal grandfather to take action. Who knew that this old fellow was so difficult to deal with, and that a divine doctor actually came to his aid and he was saved from danger!
Fortunately, the assassins sent to kill that divine doctor were all killers from the Hundred Kill Alliance, and they left no evidence. If the Nan family had been involved, things wouldn't have been so peaceful. I heard yesterday that Xiao Qi has returned safely to the Duke's Mansion, so it seems that the people who ambushed him on the way are probably in grave danger!
After seeing Mo Liuyun at the Mo residence today, he took Mo Zhixia to Chunfeng Tower for a meal. He didn't know why, but the image of Mo Liuyun from today kept appearing in his mind, those eyes that shone like stars.
Even when Mo Zhixia spoke to her, he seemed somewhat dazed. So he made an excuse, had someone escort Mo Zhixia back after her meal, and rode after her on horseback. Halfway there, he suddenly realized what he was doing! Could it be that he liked Mo Liuyun? Impossible, absolutely impossible!
He immediately turned his horse around, intending to go back, but then he remembered that there was news that Xiao Qi had already returned to the Xiao family ahead of time. Since he was already here, he might as well go to the Xiao family to find out more! So he instructed the guards around him to go to the palace and summon a royal physician to accompany him.
“What the Duke says is absolutely right. I heard that General Xiao Qi has returned to his residence. I wonder how his injuries are? This is Imperial Physician Wang. I wonder if it would be convenient for me to visit him and report back to the Emperor!” Nangong Qing gestured for an elderly man who had come with him to step forward.
"I am Wang Yun from the Imperial Medical Academy. I greet the Duke and Young Master Xiao." Physician Wang stepped forward and bowed, carrying his medicine chest.
Xiao Yi: Just as Yun'er said, she's here to gather information! He then looked at Xiao Jinhua: "You just arrived, has your uncle woken up yet?"
Xiao Jinhua: "I just went to see my uncle, and his condition is not good. Since His Highness Prince Qing is so kind, why don't we trouble the imperial physician to go and treat my uncle?"
Xiao Yi nodded, and the group, led by Xiao Jinhua, walked towards Songtao Courtyard. Upon arriving at the courtyard gate, Xiao Jinhua instructed Xiao Ping, "Go and inform Uncle that His Highness Prince Qing has brought the imperial physician to visit." She then led Prince Qing and the imperial physician to the living room to serve tea.
Xiao Ping accepted the order and walked into the inner room. After a short while, he arrived in the living room: "Third Young Master, the General requests that you bring His Highness Prince Qing and the Imperial Physician inside."
Xiao Jinhua nodded: "Your Highness Prince Qing, Imperial Physician Wang, this way please."
Led by Xiao Jinhua, the two walked directly to the bedroom. The inner room door opened, and a medicinal smell filled everyone's nostrils. Nangong Qing frowned, then relaxed. When Xiao Qi saw everyone coming, he said indifferently, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Please forgive me for not being able to rise and greet you from afar!"
"No need for formalities. The General has fought for the country on the battlefield and is still recovering from his serious injuries. He should take good care of himself and not concern himself with such empty formalities!" After Nangong Qing finished speaking, he said, "Imperial Physician Wang, come quickly and examine General Xiao!"
Physician Wang stepped forward and sat on a low stool in front of the bed. He took out a pulse pillow, and Xiao Qi placed his right hand on it. Physician Wang took the pulse, and his eyes, which had been calm at first, gradually furrowed his brows.
After about half a cup of tea's time, Physician Wang withdrew his hand, and Xiao Qi also withdrew his hand, his voice hoarse: "Thank you for your trouble, Physician Wang, but I'm afraid my body is beyond saving. The poisoning and external injuries are too severe, and my heart meridian has been damaged. I'm just barely clinging to life. Please help me cover it up. My parents are old, and it would be good if they could hold on for a while longer."
Physician Wang nodded, his eyes also showing reluctance: "General, your pulse is weak and your meridians are sluggish. If you had the supreme antidote, the Wuji Pill, there might still be a glimmer of hope for your life. However, your body is severely depleted and you still need to recuperate properly."
Xiao Qi had assumed that since Physician Wang was brought by Nangong Chun, he must be one of Nangong Chun's men. However, upon hearing Physician Wang's words, both Xiao Qi and Xiao Jinhua immediately understood that this person was not one of Nangong Chun's men and must have been someone they had brought on a whim.
As the saying goes, a kind word warms the heart for three winter months, while a harsh word chills the heart for six summer months.
The Imperial Physician Wang did not directly tell Xiao Qi that the poisoning was too severe and there was no way to save him, and that his pulse indicated that he was on his last legs. Instead, he suggested that the Wuji Pill might offer a glimmer of hope for the Xiao family.
But to Nangong Chun, who wished nothing more than for the Xiao family to perish, Physician Wang's words were nothing more than superfluous. He was merely confirming whether Xiao Qi's illness was curable; he hadn't actually ordered anyone to treat him.
Nangong Chun frowned: "I will report this truthfully to my father, and ask him to search the world for renowned doctors to treat the general. General, please rest assured and I will not disturb you any longer!"
"Someone, escort His Highness Prince Qing out. Your Highness, please forgive me, but I still have to take care of my uncle, so I cannot accompany you any longer. Xiao An, please escort His Highness out on my behalf," Xiao Jinhua instructed Xiao An.
After Xiao Jinhua finished speaking, she stayed in the inner room. Prince Qing led the royal physician Wang out. When they were almost at the courtyard gate, the royal physician Wang slapped his thigh and said, "Your Highness, please go ahead. I forgot to take my pulse pillow. It was a gift from the chief physician and cannot be lost." Nangong Chun didn't seem to care much and nodded without stopping.
After entering, Physician Wang said at the door of the inner room, "Young Master Xiao, to make a long story short, you can ask Elder Chu to try treating the general's illness. Elder Chu is quite skilled in detoxification. Also, to be frank, when the Duke was ill, no one in the Imperial Hospital could cure him, but now he is out of danger. You can ask him to treat the general again, otherwise, within three days, the general will be beyond saving. His pulse is already showing signs of exhaustion!"
Xiao Jinhua hadn't expected that Physician Wang would come back specifically to talk about this, so he immediately clasped his hands and bowed deeply: "Thank you for the reminder, Physician. I will remember it!"
Physician Wang waved his hand: "I just couldn't bear to see Zhongliang die so young, so I did my best. Farewell!" With that, he turned and walked quickly outside.
