Long Rui and Xuexue turned their heads to look at the doctor, speaking in unison: "What major issue?"
The doctor, with a face full of worry, said: "Prince, the Princess Consort is poisoned."
"What?" Long Rui jumped up from the stool, incredulously asking again: "Doctor, is there a mistake? How could my wife be poisoned?"
Xuexue was also stunned. She had learned the Hibiscus Needle Technique and understood so dical skills, finding no discomfort in her body. Could it be that the doctor really misdiagnosed?
Xuexue, puzzled, asked: "Doctor, I’m very healthy. How could I be poisoned?"
Indeed, Xuexue was eating and sleeping well every day, even going out to manage business, and didn’t feel any discomfort. Moreover, after practicing the Hibiscus Steaming Technique, she felt much lighter, walking faster, even Zi Xia couldn’t catch up with her. How could she be poisoned? Xuexue expressed disbelief.
The doctor said solemnly: "Princess Consort of War Prince, it’s true, I am not lying to you."
Xuexue: "Then tell , what poison am I afflicted with, and what are the symptoms?"
The doctor bowed his head and thought for a mont, then said: "The Princess Consort has been poisoned with a rare toxin. This toxin is colorless and tasteless, and the poisoned person usually has no symptoms and is very difficult to detect. Their normal behavior doesn’t differ from that of a healthy person. However, after a year and a half, the symptoms of this poison will beco apparent, but by then, the internal organs will have been invaded by the poison. Not even an Immortal descending to earth could save them."
Xuexue raised an eyebrow and calmly asked: "Oh! What symptoms?"
The doctor: "The entire body will rot to death, and there is no pain for the poisoned person, who can only watch their skin decay every day."
Xuexue: "That’s quite nice, actually. I like this way of dying, with no pain."
Long Rui imdiately embraced her, his whole body tense, his voice trembling slightly: "My dear, don’t speak nonsense. I won’t allow you to talk like this."
Xuexue, although a bit skeptical internally, didn’t entirely believe the doctor’s words: "Prince, don’t be anxious, maybe the doctor misdiagnosed!"
The doctor felt a bit unhappy, but in the prince’s presence, he dared not show it.
Long Rui, with sharp eyes, looked closely at the doctor and asked: "Doctor, is the Princess Consort really poisoned?"
The doctor lowered his head: "Prince, it’s absolutely true. I wouldn’t dare lie."
Long Rui: "Is there any way to detoxify?"
"Well...!" The doctor appeared very troubled, lowered his head to ponder for a mont, and then said: "It’s possible, but it would take so days to concoct an antidote."
Xuexue couldn’t help but praise: "Doctor, you really have miraculous hands to heal, being able to resolve such a rare poison, you’re better than the Imperial Physicians in the Imperial Palace. It seems I have t a Divine Doctor, destined for my life not to end."
Long Rui’s eyes cooled slightly upon hearing Xuexue’s words.
The doctor humbly said: "A doctor’s benevolence is like a parent’s heart, this is what I should do. The Princess Consort need not be polite."
Long Rui said to the steward: "Prepare a guest room for the doctor, let him stay at the War Prince’s Mansion, and focus on researching the antidote for the Princess Consort."
"Yes, Prince."
The steward felt very chaotic; people from the Imperial Palace had co, saying they had an imperial edict from The Emperor to deliver to the War Prince in person. However, after waiting halfway through, the Prince had not t anyone, and now asked him to prepare a guest room. Further delay would definitely be hard to explain to The Emperor.
"Prince, people from the Imperial Palace have arrived." At the door, after struggling for a while, the steward finally mustered up the courage, turned around, and said loudly to Long Rui.
