Chapter 97 Rescue
Chapter 97: Rescue

That night, somewhere outside the East Palace.

In the shadows, a figure could be seen. I couldn't tell her face, but I could tell from her voice that she was a young woman. "You came to me late at night, but has the prince's condition changed?"

Standing opposite the figure was Doctor Xu.

Doctor Xu looked around nervously, and after making sure no one was eavesdropping, he whispered:

"That's right. The prince's condition is already very serious. He will die in a few days, but..."

"But what!" There was a hint of urgency in the figure's voice.

Doctor Xu took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, which was the bottle that Ye Xuan used to store allicin.

"This is a gift from a captain of the Imperial Guards, who claims it can cure the prince's back carbuncle. Most importantly, the prince seems to have really gotten better after taking the medicine!"

Doctor Xu held the medicine bottle in his hand, and his face suddenly became angry when he thought of Ye Xuan humiliating him.

"Impossible, no one can cure dragon sores!" the figure exclaimed.

Doctor Xu nodded, his face solemn, "That being said, I have personally seen that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not feeling so bad anymore, and he even said that he is much better. Moreover, that Jinyiwei even guaranteed with his own head that as long as he takes a few more doses of the medicine, the disease will be cured!"

The figure was silent for a long time, and murmured: "It seems that this Jinyiwei really has some ability, otherwise he would not have used his own head as a guarantee."

"That's right," Doctor Xu agreed solemnly, "That's why I managed to get the remaining medicine. Perhaps..."

The figure paused, and then a low laugh like a silver bell sounded: "Doctor Xu wants to add some seasoning to this medicine, so that not only can the prince...but he can also openly put the blame on that Jinyiwei?"

Doctor Xu laughed strangely a few times and said, "It's his fault that he is so arrogant and shouldn't get involved in the palace!"

…………

The next day, Imperial Doctor Xu was waiting outside the Meridian Gate early.

When the Chen hour arrived, the palace gate opened, and Doctor Xu went to the East Palace with the token of the Imperial Hospital.

Soon, Doctor Xu entered the Eastern Palace.

However, as soon as Doctor Xu entered the Eastern Palace, he felt that the atmosphere was unexpectedly different. In the past, due to the prince's illness, the entire Eastern Palace was in trembling with fear. Not to mention laughter, there was not even a slight smile on anyone's face.

But today the atmosphere in the East Palace was surprisingly relaxed, and even the eunuch at the gate of the East Palace had a smile on his face.

Even the usually serious East Palace guards showed a rare hint of relaxation.

Doctor Xu was curious and couldn't help but pull the eunuch who led the way, "Eunuch, is there any happy event happening in the palace today?"

The young eunuch smiled and took a step back to stand shoulder to shoulder with Doctor Xu and said, "Who said it wasn't true? Ever since some Jinyiwei officer gave His Royal Highness the Crown Prince medicine last night, hey, it's strange to say!"

"Your Highness felt some pain at first, but by the second half of the night the pain had subsided and he finally had a good night's sleep!"

"Then, this morning Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess went to take care of the Crown Prince. Guess what happened?" "What?" Doctor Xu became inexplicably nervous.

"Hey!" The young eunuch waved his hand and said, "Those abscesses have become smaller and fewer, and the originally ulcerated parts have even begun to scab over. Isn't that amazing?"

"It actually has such a miraculous effect!" Doctor Xu exclaimed and couldn't help but grab something in his sleeve.

After a while, the two arrived at the prince's bedroom.

As soon as he entered the room, Doctor Xu saw the Crown Princess and Empress Ma already sitting in front of the sickbed, asking the Crown Prince about his health with happy faces.

"Biao'er, are you really feeling better?" Empress Ma stretched out her hand and wanted to touch the abscess on Zhu Biao's back, but she was afraid of hurting him.

Zhu Biao looked relaxed, his originally pale face now had a rosy complexion, and he said cheerfully, "Mother, I have never felt so relaxed since I fell ill. Ye Xuan's medicine is indeed miraculous!"

Crown Princess Chang was overjoyed and said, "In this case, Captain Ye has made a great contribution. Queen Mother and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must reward him generously."

“Haha, do I need to be reminded of this, my beloved concubine?” Zhu Biao smiled slightly, looked at Queen Ma and said, “In addition to Ye Xuan, I also want to thank my mother for finding such a wonderful person for me. Otherwise, I would really be in so much pain that I would not want to live!”

Upon hearing this, Empress Ma's eyes turned red. Thinking of Zhu Biao's miserable condition since he suffered from the abscess on his back, her gratitude towards Ye Xuan grew stronger.

The family was reminiscing here, and suddenly saw Doctor Xu standing awkwardly on the side. The Crown Princess hurriedly called out, "Doctor Xu is here, quickly take out the wound medicine left by Ye Xuan and apply it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Empress Ma and Zhu Biao also showed anticipation when they heard this.

The medicine left by Ye Xuan has only been used once, but it has already had a very obvious effect. If it is used again, the condition may be cured.

How could Zhu Biao, who was suffering from illness, not be excited?

Doctor Xu felt a little jealous when he saw this. This was almost an incurable dragon sore. He asked himself if he could cure it, or even make a slight improvement.

But Ye Xuan, a Jinyiwei who appeared out of nowhere, solved the problem of the dragon sore that the entire Imperial Hospital was helpless to treat in a matter of seconds. Although it has not been completely cured, anyone with eyes can see that it is only a matter of time before it is completely cured.

Although he felt a little jealous, under the gazes of Empress Ma and the other two, Doctor Xu still took out Ye Xuan's porcelain bottle, pretended to be happy about Zhu Biao's arrival, and said, "Congratulations, Your Highness the Crown Prince. I will apply the medicine to the Crown Prince right away!"

Just as Doctor Xu uncorked the bottle and prepared to pour the liquid medicine on Zhu Biao's back, a cold shout suddenly came from the door of the dormitory: "Stop!"

Doctor Xu was startled suddenly and his hand trembled, causing a few drops of pungent-smelling medicine in the bottle to spill onto Zhu Biao's back.

But at this moment, an embroidered spring sword flew straight towards Zhu Biao, and went towards Zhu Biao's back under the horrified gazes of Empress Ma and others!

With a "clang", the sharp tip of the Xiuchun Knife was firmly inserted into the wooden bed frame, and as the blade shook, it made a captivating "buzzing" sound.

With a few "clang" sounds, the two guards at the door hurriedly drew out their long swords and put them on the neck of the "attacker".

"Ye Xuan!" Queen Ma shouted angrily, asking, "Do you want to murder the prince?"

Ye Xuan stood at the door with a relaxed smile on his face. Although there were two steel knives on his neck, he was not panicked at all.
