In the palace, because Divine Doctor Mo went outside, Third Prince Xiao Zian vomited blood and vomited the white and yellow thing once again. Because of this incident, the Emperor and Imperial Concubine Zhou rushed to the Qing Palace.
Just like before, inside Third Prince Xiao Zianâs bedroom, in addition to blood, there was a white and yellow liquid. Imperial Doctor Qin and the other doctors were surrounding Third Prince Xiao Zian. When they saw the Emperor and Imperial Concubine Zhou, they busily paid respect.
âHow is Zian?â The Emperor eagerly asked, as his eyes swept over to Imperial Doctor Qin.
Imperial Doctor Qin kowtowed and said with frustration: âAnswering back the emperor, this subject is incompetent.â In other words, he canât cure Xiao Zian.
âIncompetent? You are the imperial doctor, how can you say such a thing? This imperial concubine orders you to immediately heal Third Prince Zian, do you understand? This imperial concubine orders you⦠â¦â Imperial Concubine Zhou said, then cried and cried again. She stumbled and leaned her body at the foot of the Emperor: âHuangshang, the imperial doctors has no way to save Zian, what should we do? Where is Divine Doctor Mo? How could he leave the palace at this time?â
âImmediately sent someone to find Divine Doctor Mo.â The emperor knows the reason why Divine Doctor Mo left the palace at this time. But, it doesnât mean he can forgive him.
He told Divine Doctor Mo to inform those sects, but he didnât say he can leave alone his son. Compared to his sonâs life, are those robbers life much worthy?
âYes.â The palace guard turned around and left the Qing Palace. His footsteps were fast, but this speed was not enough to find Divine Doctor Moâs whereabouts immediately⦠â¦
At this time, the palace maid who was taking care Third Prince Xiao Zian shouted: âThird Prince, Third Princeâs nose is bleeding.â
Imperial Doctor Qin didnât wait for the Emperorâs instruction, he quickly climbed up and went towards Third Prince Xiao Zian. Imperial Concubine Zhou also climbed up and rushed to the bed. However, as soon as she saw her sonâs b.l.o.o.d.y appearance, Imperial Concubine Zhou stumbled again. She cried while saying: âZian, Zian, donât scare mother like this. Mother is a coward. Donât scare me, donât scare me⦠â¦â
âImperial Concubine, please donât be sad.â The palace maid came forward to persuade Imperial Concubine Zhou, but she was pushed: âGet away from me⦠â¦â
âAhhâ¦â The palace maid soft body fell at the foot of the emperor, her head slammed on the floor, and immediately bleed. But, no one looked at her. The Emperor called the palace guards and indifferent ordered to throw her out.
After diagnosing Third Prince Xiao Zianâs condition, Imperial Doctor Qin also gave him acupuncture treatment. Third Prince Xiao Zianâs bleeding stop, but it also slowed down the blood flow on his body.
âHuangshang, this subject is incompetent. Third Princeâs condition is much worse than before. Iâm afraid, Third Prince will not last long. This subject doesnât know what poison was used on the Third Princeâs body. This subject canât make the remedy.â Imperial Doctor Qin knelled on the floor and said. His honest face was full of helplessness and remorse. But, he knows it very well, he can solve the poison in the Third Princeâs body, itâs just, he mustnât solve it⦠â¦
This incident must continue until everyone completely become helpless. He will try his best to make their plan a success.
Only by doing this, the Emperor will not doubt him, and Imperial Concubine Zhou will remember his goodwill.
This venomous poison was the last hope of his master to destroy Divine Doctor Mo. His master was depending on him.
With this opportunity, he will also become the Emperor and Imperial Concubine Zhouâs only trusted confidant.
When the Emperor heard Imperial Doctor Qinâs words, he coldly asked: âWhat? Divine Doctor Mo didnât tell you what poison was used with the Third Prince?â The Emperor and Imperial Concubine Zhou knew that Divine Doctor Mo already found out what kind of poison was used to Xiao Zian: What is this? Didnât he said he was looking for a cure?
Imperial Doctor Qin buried his head and carefully replied: âNo.â
Usually, medical knowledge was only pa.s.sed to a son, or to a disciple. And because he was not his disciple, naturally, it wonât be said to him.
But, Imperial Concubine Zhou doesnât understand this kind of thing, so she angrily said: âHow can he be so selfish? For his own merit, he can ignore Zianâs life? Why didnât he tell it to the other doctors? Why did he go outside the palace without telling anything? If he utters even a single word, my sonâs life will not get in danger.â
Although Imperial Concubine Zhouâs words were somewhat sounded arrogant, it also sounded reasonable. However, what was the use of it now?
The Emperor had an headache: âImperial Doctor Qin, canât you do something?â
âThis, this subject is incompetent⦠â¦â Imperial Doctor Qin said with a heavy tone. Imperial Concubine Zhou tightly shut her mouth and suppressed her tears. She didnât dare to cry.
The Emperor felt distressed and blamed himself. If he didnât tell to Divine Doctor to rush outside the palace and inform those sects. Xiao Zianâs life will not get in danger.
With such thought in mind, the Emperor was somewhat dissatisfied with Divine Doctor Moâs incompetence. He didnât save Xiao Zianâs life first.
âThird Princeâs ears are bleeding!â A palace maid reported Xiao Zianâs condition. The Emperor knitted his eyebrows and said: âImperial Doctor Qin, canât you think of any solution in this?â
âThis⦠subject will try his best.â Imperial Doctor Qin said with a trembling voice. Then, he performed acupuncture treatment once again. The Emperor and Imperial Concubine Zhou waited anxiously, and hope for some miracle to happen, but⦠â¦
All the golden needle on Imperial Doctor Qinâs hands were used, but the bleeding on Xiao Zianâs ears and nose didnât stop.
Imperial Concubine Zhou suppress her tears and said: âDidnât Divine Doctor Mo said that if seven holes from Zianâs body bleeds, he will die soon?â
Imperial Doctor Qin opened his mouth and added some oil: âIn three hours, Third Prince Zianâs seven holeâs in the body will bleed.â
âThree hours? If we canât find Divine Doctor Mo in three hours, my son will die. Huangshang⦠⦠my son will die.â Imperial Concubine Zhou said with a pale face. Obviously, sheâs not only acting.
The Emperor was also shocked. âImperial Doctor Qin, are you telling the truth?â
âThis subject dared not lie.â Within three hours, if Divine Doctor Mo will not return, Xiao Zian will die.
âd.a.m.n it!â The Emperor cursed in anger and pointed his finger at Xiao Zian: âZhen, zhen command you to save my son, you must ensure Zian can wait until Divine Doctor Mo returns.â
*Plop*
Imperial Doctor Qin kowtowed on the floor: âHuangshang, this subject⦠⦠canât do it.â
The Emperor doesnât care: âYou canât do it? Even if you canât do it, you must do it! Otherwise, zhen will take your life.â
The Emperor was angry, thatâs why he can speak those words. However, Imperial Doctor Qin doesnât want to gamble his life.
âHuangshang, this subject has an unreasonable request, I donât know if I should speak about it.â Imperial Doctor Qin said with a sad face.
âWhat do you want to say, speakâ¦â The Emperor waved his sleeve and sat down on the chair to calm himself.
âYes,â With the Emperorâs permission, Imperial Doctor Qin didnât hesitate to speak: âThis subject heard that Yu Meirenâs medical skills were superb and almost has comparable medical knowledge as Divine Doctor Mo. This subject wants to ask the Emperor to allow the beauty cure Third Prince Zian, together with subject.â
At the very crucial moment, Imperial Doctor Qin didnât forget to pull Mo Yuer into the dark water⦠â¦
* Yu Meiren (Beauty) â address to Mo Yuer.
