Chapter 94 Twists and turns

Chapter 94: Twists and turns

It had only been two or three hours since Ye Xuan expressed his confidence in treating Zhu Biao's back carbuncle, but Empress Ma's emotions had been shaken by Ye Xuan, and she was repeatedly torn between hope and doubt.

It is no exaggeration to say that among all the men in the world, apart from Zhu Yuanzhang, the only man who could cause Empress Ma's emotions to change so drastically was Ye Xuan.

However, Queen Ma was a heroine after all, and her inexplicable trust in Ye Xuan made her make up her mind.

Between the two options of letting Ye Xuan try with the human head or waiting for the Imperial Hospital to come up with an effective treatment method, Empress Ma chose the former.

"Ye Xuan, even if you can only relieve the prince's pain a little, what I said is still valid. I can satisfy whatever you want!"

Queen Ma looked at Ye Xuan's expression steadily, as if she wanted to see more information from his face.

The opposition of Doctor Xu and others was not without reason, and it did have some influence on Empress Ma.

Ye Xuan could hear the hidden meaning in these words: if he cured the prince, he would enjoy wealth and glory; if he lied, he would lose his head.

If Ye Xuan failed and gambled with the lives of Doctor Xu and others, he could still cheat and go back on his word. However, if Empress Ma did not do that, it would mean that Ye Xuan would be completely blocked from cheating.

Upon hearing this, Doctor Xu and the others immediately relaxed their brows and felt refreshed.

They all sneered, waiting to see Ye Xuan's ugly appearance after his true identity was exposed and he was taken to the execution ground.

However, Ye Xuan did not show any hesitation or regret, but was extremely calm, which gave Queen Ma more confidence, and she immediately stepped aside to give up her sickbed.

Ye Xuan walked forward leisurely with a calm look on his face. If someone who didn't know him saw his demeanor, they would really think he was some miracle doctor.

Doctor Xu at the side snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "You are just pretending. I want to see how long you can hold your nerve."

The voice was not lowered at all when these words were spoken. Not only did the people around hear them, but Ye Xuan also heard every word.

However, Ye Xuan didn't have time to pay attention to him now, because the wound on Zhu Biao's back was so shocking that Ye Xuan frowned deeply.

A cluster of swollen pustules stretched from the shoulders to the waist and hips.

Most of the pus bumps are the size of a broad bean, red, swollen and translucent. The transparent ones are so clear that you can even clearly feel the pus trapped under the skin, which seems to be about to burst out.

A small part of them broke due to various reasons such as friction from clothing, and the thick yellowish mucus covered the back, emitting a nauseating stench.

Ye Xuan suppressed his nausea, wrapped his index finger with a silk handkerchief and just touched it lightly, and Zhu Biao suddenly let out a howl that was twice as loud as before.

Seeing her husband in so much pain, Crown Princess Chang couldn't help but cover her mouth, her eyes became moist; Empress Ma also closed her eyes with a look of pity, tears oozing from the corners of her eyes.

Ye Xuan frowned slightly, feeling a little embarrassed.

It was not because Zhu Biao's condition was more serious than he imagined, which made him retreat, but because allicin was extremely irritating when applied directly on the festering wound.

I just touched him lightly, but Zhu Biao screamed so miserably and made the two women cry with worry. If I apply medicine directly, wouldn't he die from the pain?
Seeing Ye Xuan looking embarrassed, Queen Ma became worried again.

He couldn't help but ask, "Ye Xuan, is the prince's condition too difficult?"

However, before Ye Xuan could speak, Doctor Xu said in a sarcastic tone, "Empress, our Imperial Hospital is full of talented people, but we are at a loss for what to do for the Crown Prince's illness, let alone a Jinyiwei who is not even a wild doctor?"

"I beg you, Her Majesty, to think twice and not let this pretentious person make Your Highness's condition worse!"

Ye Xuan frowned. Before he could say anything, Zhu Biao on the sickbed actually raised his finger with great effort, enduring the pain and breathing weakly, and said, "Let him treat it. Even if he dies from it, it's better than dying in pain!" "Your Highness..."

"Your Majesty..."

"Prince..."

Facing everyone's dissuasion or concerns, Zhu Biao just closed his eyelids and said weakly to Ye Xuan: "Hurry...hurry up and do it!"

Ye Xuan felt a little bit reluctant when he saw this. It was so sad that the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty had been tortured by the disease and even wanted to die to get rid of it.

However, if there was something, Ye Xuan had to say it.

"Your Highness, the medicine I use will make you feel extreme pain instantly, but as long as you endure it, you will gradually get better. Are you willing to try it?"

Zhu Biao gave a desperate smile and said weakly, "I have been numb from the pain for a long time. Come on."

Ye Xuan nodded without hesitation, even though Zhu Biao's words seemed a bit pretentious, and he didn't know who it was just now, but he screamed in pain when he was lightly touched.

So he ordered the palace maid to bring a hot towel and wipe Zhu Biao's back lightly. Then he took out the porcelain bottle containing allicin and poured it on Zhu Biao's back little by little.

As soon as the allicin came into contact with the festering wound, Zhu Biao let out a scream ten times louder than before, and his entire face was instantly covered with cold sweat!

His eyes were wide open, staring at Ye Xuan, as if there was some evil ghost standing in front of him.

Not long after, with a "thump", Zhu Biao's eyes rolled back and he fainted on the spot.

"Your Highness..."

Everyone screamed and gathered around in panic.

However, before he could figure out what was going on, Doctor Xu pointed at Chu Yao's nose and shouted, "What kind of medicine did you give His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"You actually made His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's life or death unclear. Tell me, did you use poison?"

Everyone was shocked when these words were spoken!
Everyone looked at Ye Xuan, especially the two East Palace guards standing at the door. They drew out the swords at their waists with a "clang" and stared at Ye Xuan with murderous intent, as if they would step forward and kill Ye Xuan at the command.

Ye Xuan glanced at Doctor Xu coldly, then looked at everyone, and then said coldly: "This is a normal reaction. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just fainted from the pain."

Doctor Xu, however, responded coldly, "I have never heard of any medicine that can make people faint from the pain."

"Yes, even if this medicine is really as painful as you said, it is still a medicine for tigers and wolves even if it is not poison!"

"The prince is seriously ill, why are you using such a strong medicine?"

The others also echoed and raised their doubts.

How come someone even pointed at Ye Xuan and asked, "Tell me quickly, are you a remnant of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, deliberately plotting to murder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Upon hearing this, even Queen Ma became nervous.

As Zhu Biao was the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty and the future emperor, it was very likely that the Northern Yuan Dynasty would try to attack him.

Thinking of this, Empress Ma showed hesitation, but immediately winked at the two East Palace guards, and the two guards immediately stepped into the bedroom without any expression.
