Chapter 84

Once Xue Yunfeng fell into a coma, not only did the court become more chaotic, the entire palace also became chaotic.

Although the Emperor was displeased with him because of the previous owner's absurd actions, he was still the Crown Prince born from his most beloved concubine. In addition to his recent performance, the Emperor had decided to pass the throne to him.

Even with the threat of Xue Han, everyone knew that Xue Han would not live for long, his threat was useless.

At this moment, Xue Yunfeng was poisoned and his life was at stake, the Emperor was furious, his body seemed to have regained his vitality, his spirit was greatly boosted, he ordered people to investigate thoroughly and let the imperial physician treat him.

"Your Majesty, the poison in the Crown Prince is not incurable, but the antidote is not easy to make, and the Crown Prince does not have much time left, to make the antidote in just a few days, it is as difficult as ascending to the heavens … …"

The imperial physician's face was filled with worry and fear.

"Treat him, treat him well!

Go, I remember the Nan Yu tribe entered the palace last year, they said it has the effect of prolonging life, what are you waiting for, quickly bring it to the Crown Prince! "

The Emperor was furious, the imperial physician retreated in fear.

The entire East Palace became lively the moment Xue Yunfeng fell, the Emperor could not stay for long as he was dealing with political matters, the Imperial Concubine was not in good health and could not stay.

The other concubines had already been dismissed, Gu Bai could not go to the front hall because the Emperor did not like him, thus only Qi Mo Li was left to stay by the bedside to serve the unconscious Xue Yunfeng.

Even though he could not visit Xue Yunfeng, Gu Bai was not in a hurry, he was not worried about Xue Yunfeng's health, he was only concerned that Xue Yunfeng would not be able to complete his mission if he died, he had already ordered Slave Ya to guard outside the Crown Prince's sleeping quarters and invite the imperial physician to the Glazed Tile Palace.

"This official greets Young Master, may I know why Young Master has invited this official here?"

Although the imperial physician looked down on the previous owner for being a concubine, he was still the one the Crown Prince doted on, no matter how much he despised him, he still had to act on the surface.

"Imperial Physician Wang need not be so courteous, Rong Yi invited you here because she has something to ask you … …"

While Imperial Physician Wang was bewildered, Gu Bai gestured for Slave Ya to close the door, then continued to speak with a worried expression.

"Lord Wang, I invited you here today to inquire about His Highness' situation. Lord Wang, you know that with Rong Yi's status, she is unable to enter the front hall … How is His Highness now?"

The concern on Gu Bai's face looked very real. Imperial Physician Wang was surprised at first, but when he mentioned Xue Yunfeng's condition, he could not help but look worried again.

The Crown Prince's illness wasn't a secret, so he didn't have to worry about it. He sighed and shook his head.

"To tell you the truth, Young Master, His Highness' poison isn't an incurable poison, but the bad thing is that the prescription for this poison isn't easy to concoct. It would take at least a month or two to concoct it. Moreover, this poison is very strong. Even if His Majesty used the elixir to prolong His Highness' life, it would only drag on for a few days at most. It wouldn't be of any help …"

"Is there no other way?" Gu Bai grabbed Imperial Physician Wang's arm and asked anxiously.

Seeing his expression, Slave Ya hurriedly supported him and comforted him, "Master, there must be a way... Doctor Wang, your medical skills are excellent, you can definitely save His Highness, right?"

"…"

Imperial Physician Wang was silent. He was excellent in medical skills, but he wasn't a god. If he was confident, he would have used the elixir just now.

Even the silly Slave Yan understood what was going on. Gu Bai naturally understood as well. He also became silent and leaned on Slave Yan as if he couldn't stand up anymore.

Seeing Gu Bai's appearance, Imperial Physician Wang sighed. Then he thought of something and stared at Gu Bai with his eyes shining.

"Wait, maybe there is another way!"

"What way?"

"When I was studying medicine, I had heard of the famous Northern Zhao Gu Poison. My master had said that the people of the Northern Zhao Royal Family, regardless of whether they were male or female, would bathe in medicine from a young age and eat poison as food. They would be immune to poison and no poison in the world would be able to harm them. If I did not remember wrongly, Young Master Rong Yi was once the Northern Zhao Prince …"

"You mean …" Gu Bai's ears moved slightly.

"Maybe we can try to save Young Master's flesh and blood …"

I've been waiting for you to say this!

Gu Bai's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked, "How confident are you?"

"No … we can only try." Imperial Physician Wang shook his head honestly.

"Then let's try!

Slave Ya, bring me the knife! "

Gu Bai ordered without hesitation. His face was firm, which made Imperial Physician Wang even more surprised. He didn't expect that Gu Bai would agree without hesitation.

This was cutting his flesh and blood. It was not a joke.

Slave Ya was also shocked, "Master!"

"Slave Ya, go quickly!

If you delay any longer, His Highness won't have time! "

Gu Bai scolded with a firm face.

It was the first time that Slave Ya heard him speak so fiercely. He was stunned for a moment and then reacted. He looked at Gu Bai hesitantly and didn't dare to resist. In the end, he could only obediently go to get the things.

When the knife and bowl were brought over, Gu Bai's face became serious. He quickly cut his wrist with the knife without hesitation and took a bowl of blood. Then he gritted his teeth and cut off a piece of flesh.

"Master …"

Looking at his bloody arm, Slave Ya couldn't help but cry out. Imperial Doctor Wang was also shocked. He had seen ruthless people before, but he had never seen someone so ruthless. He didn't even cry out when he cut off his own flesh.

"Imperial Physician Wang, please save His Highness' life. Rong Yi is begging you …"

After he finished, Gu Bai put down the knife and looked at him with pleading eyes.

He was a martial artist and had experience with knives. The wound on his hand looked scary, but it wasn't serious. It was painful, but it was still tolerable.

However, only he knew this. Even though Imperial Physician Wang was a professional, he was shocked by his actions and didn't notice it. He was quite moved.

He looked at Gu Bai with less contempt than before. Many people could offer their own flesh and blood to make medicine for the Crown Prince, but there weren't many who didn't hesitate at all. It could be seen that this male pet was sincere to the Crown Prince …

The Imperial Physician sighed and quickly left with the things. Slave Ya was sobbing as he bandaged Gu Bai's wound.

Although he was a eunuch in Da Qi's palace, when he first entered the palace, he hadn't received the real palace baptism. When he made a mistake and was almost beaten to death, it was the original owner who saved him and transferred him to serve by his side. He was also very kind to him.

Compared to the Crown Prince and the Emperor, his feelings for the original owner were much deeper. Looking at Gu Bai's bleeding arm, he felt very sad.

… …

On the other side, Imperial Physician Wang carried the bowl of blood back to the Imperial Physician Hospital. He didn't even drink water and immediately began to prepare the medicine. He didn't dare to delay.

If he couldn't cure the Crown Prince, His Majesty would be furious. Maybe all the imperial physicians would be buried with him. In history, there were imperial physicians who lost their lives because they couldn't cure their masters.

The original owner's flesh and blood wasn't as magical as the legends said. If it could cure all the poisons in the world, the people of the Bei Zhao Royal Family would have been caught and eaten by evil people.

However, it happened to be effective against Xue Yunfeng's poison. Once the medicine was fed, within two hours, the poison on Xue Yunfeng's face began to dissipate. His complexion returned to normal. Although he was still unconscious, his life was no longer in danger.

Qi Moli, who had been guarding by the bed, let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly thanked Imperial Physician Wang.

"Young Master Qi can't be compared to me. If you really want to thank someone, you should thank Young Master Rong Yi …"

"Imperial Physician, what are you saying …" Qi Moli's expression froze.

"This time, it was all thanks to Young Master Rong Yi's sacrifice of his flesh and blood that I was able to prepare the antidote. In the past, I was like everyone else and looked down on Young Master Rong Yi. However, today, I finally understand why the Crown Prince acted like that. Young Master Rong Yi is truly sincere towards the Crown Prince …"

The imperial physician was a sensitive person and had seen many dark things in the palace. At this moment, he was very impressed by Gu Bai's action of sacrificing his flesh and blood without hesitation.

However, following his words, Qi Moli's expression gradually darkened and a sense of threat rose in his heart.

He was very clear about Xue Yunfeng's feelings for Rong Yi. Even when Xue Yunfeng told him that he was only using Rong Yi, he knew that Xue Yunfeng used to like Rong Yi.

If Xue Yunfeng knew that Rong Yi was so sincere, would he still like her …?

Qi Moli didn't know the answer but he was panicking.

He took a deep breath and suppressed the panic in his heart. Looking at Xue Yunfeng on the bed, he gritted his teeth and said.

"Imperial Physician Wang, please don't let anyone else know about Rong Yi's sacrifice of flesh and blood to the Crown Prince!"

"This …"

"Imperial Physician Wang, you know His Highness' personality. If he knew that he came back to life after eating Rong Yi's flesh and blood, he would definitely feel guilty for the rest of his life. Moreover, if this matter were to spread, it would be used by people with ulterior motives. I'm afraid that the Crown Prince's reputation would be damaged as well. Therefore, I ask that Imperial Physician Wang keep your mouth shut …"

Qi Moli solemnly instructed.

Although Imperial Physician Wang had his doubts, he didn't suspect anything. Qi Moli's words were somewhat reasonable. Moreover, Qi Moli was the younger brother of the Crown Prince's best friend and was also a famous scholar in the capital. For a moment, he didn't suspect anything. He cupped his hands and left.

Not long after he left, Xue Yunfeng slowly woke up on the bed. Seeing Qi Moli's haggard face, it was obvious that he hadn't slept for two days. Xue Yunfeng was touched. He then looked behind Qi Moli, as if he was looking for someone else.

"What are you looking for, Your Highness?"

Qi Moli's eyes flickered.

"Nothing, I just feel a little dizzy. You've been watching over me for a long time. There are eunuchs and palace maids here to serve me. I'm fine now. Quickly go and have a good rest …"

Xue Yunfeng shook his head and advised him to leave.

After he left, he looked at the eunuch serving him and asked, "Where is Young Master Rong Yi …"

"Replying to Your Highness, Young Master Rong Yi should be in the Lapis Lazuli Palace at this moment …"

"What do you mean by should be?" Xue Yunfeng's expression changed slightly and his heart sank. "What was Young Master Rong Yi doing when I was unconscious for two days?

Did he come … "

"Replying to Your Highness, when Your Highness was unconscious for two days, I didn't see Young Master Rong Yi come …" The eunuch honestly replied.

"I know, you can leave …"

After the eunuch finished speaking, Xue Yunfeng's eyes flashed with disappointment. He closed his eyes and clenched his fists tightly. How could he still have expectations? How could he still believe? He should have known …
