Chapter 164 A Somber Atmosphere
Just as he was anxiously awaiting news from the Prince Yu's residence, the news that came back was heartbreaking, and his face turned deathly pale.
After learning that the imperial physicians were helpless in treating Prince Yu's injuries, he ordered someone to inform Consort Jing and then hurriedly went to Prince Yu's residence with her.
When Emperor Sukang went in to see the lifeless Queen Yu, he too was filled with grief.
After a long pause, Emperor Sukang slowly turned around and walked out of the house with heavy steps.
Emperor Sukang leaned against the door frame, his eyes filled with sorrow. But when he saw the imperial physicians standing in a row under the corridor with their heads bowed, his gaze suddenly turned stern and imposing.
He pointed at them and roared, "You bunch of quacks, quickly think of a way to save Prince Yu, or else... humph!"
Emperor Sukang's cold snort, carrying an invisible air of authority and anger, sent chills down the spines of everyone present, and they all knelt down.
Upon hearing this, all the imperial physicians knelt down and cried out in unison, "Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, please calm down!"
The court official said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, please forgive us! His Highness Prince Yu's injuries are too severe, and he has also been poisoned by a Gu poison. We are truly powerless to help him!" After saying this, he kowtowed heavily to the ground.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Sukang angrily exclaimed, "You bunch of useless trash! What use are you to me?"
Having said that, he closed his eyes with a look of grief and anger, as if trying to calm the rage within him.
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger." The imperial physicians shouted in unison again. At this moment, they were kneeling on the ground, trembling with fear, afraid that they would be buried with Prince Yu after his death.
Standing to the side, Xiao Yue stepped forward and gently supported Emperor Sukang's slightly trembling body.
"Father, please take care of your health. My elder brother is a lucky man and will surely overcome this difficulty. I believe he will be alright."
Emperor Sukang calmed down slightly and turned to look at Xiao Yue: "How is it? Have you sent people out to search for them? You must catch these assassins."
"Father, rest assured," Xiao Yue said, helping Emperor Sukang walk towards the living room. "Your son has already sent people out to search for them. The Imperial Guards and government officials have all been dispatched, and the military camps have also sent people to search both inside and outside the city."
Xiao Han was also injured during the fight with the assassins. He was wounded in several places on his arm and abdomen by swords. Fortunately, the wounds were not deep and the imperial physician treated him.
However, he was also poisoned. Although he took the antidote pills given to him by Long Chuqing, he was still very weak, and some of the toxins that could not be neutralized remained in his body.
In addition to the remaining Gu poison in his body, his physical condition is now not optimistic, and he is very weak.
He was originally resting in another room, but he was worried about Prince Yu's injuries and could not rest in peace.
He forced himself to come to the living room, his face pale from blood loss due to his injuries.
When he learned that Prince Yu was critically ill and the imperial physician said there was nothing that could be done, he immediately thought of Long Chuqing and sent Qingsong back to the mansion to find her.
At the same time, he couldn't help but worry that if he rashly brought Chu Qing here and she was also helpless, would his father be angry with her?
But he couldn't care less about that right now. His elder brother was on the verge of death because he saved him, and he couldn't just watch him die like that.
As long as there is even a sliver of hope, we cannot give up. Now, Chu Qing is his only hope.
If she arrives and even he is helpless, and if the Emperor blames him, he will take the blame for her.
"Seventh Brother..." Prince Xuan frowned, his expression grave as he advised, "You're quite badly injured yourself, and you look so pale. You should go inside and lie down!"
Xiao Han shook his head: "With my elder brother's life hanging by a thread, how can I lie here in peace?"
“But even if you go, you won’t be of much help, and… I just heard the imperial physicians say…” At this point, King Xuan lost the courage to continue, and he lowered his head with a sorrowful expression.
"No, Big Brother will be alright," Xiao Han muttered. "I'll wait for Chu Qing to come; she'll definitely have a solution."
“But even the Imperial Physician is helpless now.” Prince Qi, standing to the side, also looked grave: “Seventh Brother, does Miss Long really have a solution?”
Xiao Han didn't dare to give a definite answer either. He covered his face with his hands, and his expression hadn't relaxed for a moment since he returned.
He dragged his weak body to his feet and staggered as he tried to walk out. Prince Qi, who was beside him, supported him: "Seventh brother, where are you going...?"
"I'm going to stay with my older brother; I'll wait for Chu Qing there."
In the end, Prince Qi could not persuade him otherwise and could only help him walk towards Prince Yu's bedroom.
Just as they reached the door, they bumped into Xiao Yue helping Emperor Sukang walk in.
"Greetings, Father Emperor," Xiao Han, Prince Qi, and Prince Xuan called out in unison. "Greetings, Third Brother."
Emperor Sukang waved his hand in acknowledgment. He glanced at Xiao Han, who was being supported by Prince Qi, then narrowed his eyes and said in a serious tone, "You are also injured now. Instead of resting properly, where are you going?"
"Father," Xiao Han replied weakly, "I wish to go and stay with my elder brother."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Sukang sighed softly, lowered his eyes, and gently waved his hand, letting him go.
Qingsong and Long Chuqing walked across the rooftops to the entrance of Prince Yu's mansion. After entering the mansion, they quickly headed towards Yunqi Courtyard.
As soon as I stepped into the gate of Yunqi Courtyard, two heart-wrenching cries came from inside.
"This is bad." Seeing this situation, Long Chuqing immediately felt something was wrong.
She quickened her pace, lifting her skirt as she ran inside.
Upon hearing the sound, Qingsong's heart tightened, and he sensed that something was wrong. He grabbed his medicine box and followed Long Chuqing inside as quickly as possible.
When I ran to the dormitory entrance, I saw a row of people kneeling on the ground inside and outside the room, each of them covering their faces and weeping.
"Flying Phoenix..." Long Chuqing called out urgently in his mind.
“Understood…” Fei Feng immediately understood.
Immediately afterward, a pale golden light flew into the room before Long Chuqing, heading towards the bed.
It then quickly entered the Prince's heart and spread along his entire body until it completely covered him.
Long Chuqing took the medicine box from Qingsong, bypassed the kneeling crowd, and walked directly into the room.
At this moment, everyone was lost in their grief and did not notice Long Chuqing's arrival.
She walked around the screen and saw Xiao Han kneeling in front of the bed. She quickened her pace and walked towards him.
"Xiao Han..." Long Chuqing squatted down, took Xiao Han's arm, and called out softly.
Upon hearing her voice, Xiao Han turned around abruptly. He looked at Long Chuqing with a sorrowful expression and said in a trembling voice, "Chuqing... you're too late. My brother, the Emperor..."
The atmosphere inside the room was unusually heavy, filled with the sound of weeping.
As Qingsong stepped into the house, his eyes immediately reddened upon seeing the scene before him, and he slowly knelt down.
