PNB Chapter 697: Mother-child poison
Chapter 697: Mother-child poison
On the other side, in the side hall of Taiji Hall, Zhang Qiong had already finished acupuncture for Shu He.
Her condition seemed to be much better, but Yier was still crying and lying on the edge of the bed, calling for Shu He.
Baili Moqing stood behind Yi'er, his eyes red, feeling guilty and heartbroken.
"Doctor Zhang, how is Ah He? Is the poison under control?"
Zhang Qiong put away the needle, wrote a prescription, and said to the emperor and Baili Moqing: "Your Majesty, Prince, the princess's poison has been temporarily controlled. We just found an antidote in an ancient book. It should be safe to save her life."
"only……"
His "just" frightened Baili Moqing so much that his face turned pale. "Just what?"
"But the princess' eyes have been damaged by the poison. It will be difficult for her to see the light again..."
Seeing the two people's extremely ugly faces, he said: "But the princess is a superb doctor. If the princess can wake up, maybe she can find a way to repair her eyes..."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Qiwen was furious. "Are you all useless? Without Princess Li, you can't treat patients? She's a princess! Not a doctor from your Imperial Hospital! If she gets sick and has to treat herself, then what are you doing?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!" After hearing this, all the imperial doctors knelt on the ground again.
These doctors usually seem quite capable, but why do they rely on others when they encounter difficult problems?
What if one day in the future I am also poisoned by this foreign country, and relying on these imperial doctors, wouldn’t that be just waiting for death?
It seems that the Imperial Hospital needs to be reorganized.
Baili Moqing bowed to Emperor Qiwen with an unpleasant expression, "Father, I want to take Ah He back home."
Emperor Qiwen looked at him with a hint of heartache in his eyes.
His son had been strong since childhood, and his eagle-like eyes had never appeared so fragile.
It seems that he really takes Shu He to heart.
"Seventh Brother, the imperial physician..."
Emperor Qiwen was halfway through his words when he was too embarrassed to continue.
Originally, the Imperial Hospital in the palace should have been the place with the most advanced medical skills in the entire Tianqi era, but now those doctors actually expect a patient to treat himself after waking up. Even the emperor felt ashamed for those doctors when he said this!
"Alright, you guys go back and let Zhang Qiong follow us to Prince Li's mansion. Didn't you say you found a way to detoxify me? Let Zhang Qiong take care of me at Prince Li's mansion."
Baili Moqing nodded, then picked up Shu He and was about to leave when Emperor Qiwen asked again, "With your wife like this, your marriage..."
Baili Moqing's face was solemn, and his voice was firm, "The wedding will proceed as usual. If she doesn't wake up, I will carry her into the house myself!"
He always wanted to make her the legitimate Princess of Li, so that she could stand in front of outsiders with confidence and accept their kneeling worship.
He didn't want her to be at a loss as to how to address herself in front of others, nor did he want to hear the words "future Princess Li" again!
From now on, she and he will share honor and glory!
After Baili Moqing and others left, Emperor Qiwen stood with his hands behind his back, his face silent, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Liu Qin stood in the distance, lowered his head silently, not daring to breathe.
"deliver an imperial order."
"Restore Liu Kun's status as the Kaiyuan General, and grant Anrenfang and the former Huqi General's Mansion to the Liu family, renaming it 'Kaiyuan General's Mansion.' Five days later, Prince Li will marry, and Shu He will be allowed to leave the General's Mansion."
"Also, take advantage of these few days to renovate Prince Li's mansion. Then, select some valuable gifts from my private treasury and send them to General Kaiyuan's mansion. Say they are wedding gifts from me to General Liu's granddaughter."
Liu Qin agreed respectfully and went to do it immediately.
Emperor Qiwen sat at the imperial desk, with a pile of memorials on his right hand side that had just been submitted by officials to criticize Baili Moqing.
"Arrogant," "warlike and arrogant," "disregarding the law," "provoking disputes between the two countries"...
Every harsh word seemed to remind him how crazy his sons had become just for the position he was sitting in now!
The fourth brother just died, but they are still so active. Will there be a day when they can't wait any longer and gather a group of people to surround his palace like the fourth brother did?
"Crash!"
The sound of memorials falling to the ground.
Under the candlelight, that slightly weathered face looked extremely gloomy.
When we returned to Prince Li's mansion, there was already a crowd of people standing at the door.
The entire Liu family, including Shu Yuanqi, Zhang Zhirou, Zhang Zhiyi, and even Jiang Dongping, came.
Seeing the carriage stop, Old Madam Liu and Tan Xuan were the first to step forward, wiping their tears. "He'er! My grandson!"
Baili Moqing first sent Shu He to the master bedroom in the central hall, and then said to the people who came to visit, "Ah He needs to rest. Everyone, please follow me outside to talk."
Seeing Yier crying so sadly, Zhang Zhirou had no choice but to coax and comfort her together with Liu Ruzhu.
Ke Yier simply couldn't hear anything at this time. It was only when Nanqi brought Zhang Qiong over that she, Ziyi and Zile were coaxed to go to the side room to rest.
"Doctor Zhang, you must cure Sister He!"
Princess Yong went back to her house to pick up Ziyi and Zile, just to let them accompany Yier.
Seeing Yi'er's eyes swollen from crying, Ziyi felt so distressed that he immediately went over to hug her and comfort her. Zile also went over to hug Yi'er and patted her back. Although most adults are not very good at comforting others, he still said a lot of nice things to Yi'er.
With the company of two children, Yier finally calmed down a lot.
The Liu family had heard almost everything about what happened in Shanghe Mansion from outside, but they didn't know that Shu He was poisoned. They thought Shu He was just injured.
Liu Jingchen asked anxiously, "Your Highness, what exactly is going on? How did Ah He get poisoned?"
"Your Highness, can the poison of cousin Ahe be cured? Does the imperial physician have any solution?" Liu Rufeng also asked, feeling very worried. Just now, looking at Shu He's appearance, it seemed that there was something wrong with his eyes.
Old Madam Liu couldn't sit still at all and wanted to grab Baili Moqing's sleeve to question him.
A pair of old, sagging eyes were filled with worry. "Prince, please speak quickly. What's going on with He'er now?!"
Faced with everyone's anxious inquiries, Baili Moqing didn't know what to say, because he himself was a little confused about what was going on.
He was clearly fine when he entered the palace, so how come he fell into a coma after just a nap?
Zhen Li saw that he was surrounded and quickly stepped forward to explain, "Don't worry, everyone!"
"The prince has already obtained the antidote from Shen Yao, and the princess's condition has improved since then. It seems that the antidote has taken effect. I just don't know why the princess fell into a coma again."
"Perhaps the antidote is taking effect, which is why he's temporarily unconscious. The imperial physician said there's a solution and they're investigating it. Don't worry, everyone!"
Liu Kun sat on the armchair, his complexion looking much better than when he first came to Kyoto. His entire body's energy and aura had become visibly stronger.
"Don't be too anxious!"
He spoke lightly, and with just one sentence, the people of the Liu family quieted down.
"When He'er got into trouble, the prince is just as worried as we are. Instead of pestering the prince here, why not let the prince go and see He'er earlier! In case anything happens, the prince can deal with it earlier!"
Baili Moqing looked at Liu Kun gratefully and respectfully bowed to him as a junior. "Thank you, General, for your understanding."
He really needed to see Shu He. He had to confirm immediately whether her coma was real or intentional to confuse the emperor.
After Baili Moqing left, the Liu family walked back and forth in the side hall, feeling extremely anxious.
Liu Jingchen walked up to Zhenli and asked about the truth of today's assassination.
As soon as Baili Moqing entered the bedroom, he saw Princess Yong fainted on the bedroom table, and Zhang Qiong also fainted under Shu He's bed.
His expression changed, and he immediately came over to check on Shu He. Fortunately, she was lying in bed, albeit with a pool of black blood beside the bed.
"Ah He!" Baili Moqing touched her face and called her twice, but Shu He still didn't respond at all.
His face became gloomier and gloomier. He heard the noise going away and just as he stood up to chase after it, he found that a weak hand grabbed him.
"Ahe?!" Seeing her reaction, a look of joy appeared on his face.
Shu He opened his eyes, and the discomfort in his body had mostly disappeared.
"How are you?" He looked at her, his pupils trembling slightly.
Seeing her shake her head slightly, he finally couldn't help himself and buried his face in her neck, "You scared me to death!"
There were a few moments when he really thought she would leave him completely.
Two drops of hot water fell on her skin, and the slight trembling sound made her feel distressed.
She raised her hand with great effort, touched the back of his head, and whispered, "I'm fine, I want to drink some water..."
Hearing this, Baili Moqing immediately stood up to pour some water. When she came back, she saw that his eyes were slightly moist, with some red bloodshot in his pupils, and the worry in his eyes had not completely dissipated.
He helped her up, drank the water, and listened to her breathing becoming stronger, and he finally felt relieved.
"anything else?"
Shu He shook his head, "I'm sorry for making you worry."
Baili Moqing didn't say anything. He wanted to ask why she suddenly fell into a coma, but seeing her condition, he didn't have the heart to ask.
Fortunately, everyone is okay.
He called out Nanqi outside, and soon Nanqi came in from outside.
"Master...Princess! Are you awake?"
Seeing Shu He wake up, Nanqi's solemn expression suddenly turned into surprise.
"Go tell the Liu family that Ah He has woken up, but he still needs to rest. Ask them to come visit tomorrow!"
"If they are really worried, we can arrange for them to stay in the palace first, and then ask them to come and see Ah He when he is in better condition."
Nanqi nodded and went down quickly.
Shu He looked at him, a touch of emotion on his face, "Thank you for being so kind to my family."
Her voice was very soft and weak, and it made him feel choked up. "Stop talking and take a rest first."
Shu He still shook her head. She knew that he had doubts in his heart. If she didn't explain it clearly, he would probably chase her out.
"It's a mother-child poison."
