Chapter 357
Pei Liangchuan didn't expect that he could gain such a big advantage by just a little test.
The production process of the anti-poison pill is indeed complicated, and it consumes dozens of rare medicinal materials. Otherwise, Pei Liangchuan would not have been so stingy as to only give the fifth prince one pill last night.
But the detoxification pills made from one portion of medicinal materials are not a dozen, but dozens.
Exchanging a dozen anti-poison pills for the royal medicine warehouse, how could this deal not be a good deal?
Pei Liangchuan almost laughed out loud when he thought that he could use the royal medicine warehouse to make various pills, and the pills he made would go into his own bag.
Fortunately, he still remembered that the emperor was here. Even though he was very happy in his heart, his face was still tense.
Xie Rong nodded with satisfaction and continued, "In that case, you will live in this side hall while the Fifth Prince is being treated, until he recovers."
"Yes!" Pei Liangchuan agreed.
Xie Rong turned to look at Li Shunquan and ordered, "Pass the order down. Doctor Pei is free to enter the Fifth Prince's bedroom. As for the others, proceed as usual..."
"Father!" the fifth prince shouted.
Seeing Xie Rong's gaze, the Fifth Prince pleaded, "Father, I'm so bored staying in my bedroom to recuperate. I heard Princess Pingning has been visiting the palace to pay her respects to the Empress lately. Could you please allow Princess Pingning to come to my bedroom occasionally and tell me some interesting stories from the people?"
"This..." Xie Rong frowned, a little hesitant.
Luo Xiyao felt a little nervous. Given Xie Xiaowu's current situation, she was still a little worried even with Pei Liangchuan around.
It would be best if I could see Xie Xiaowu get better with my own eyes.
Seeing this, Pei Liangchuan stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, if you can keep the Fifth Prince in a good mood, perhaps he will recover faster."
After hearing this, Xie Rong finally agreed and said, "Then, except for Doctor Pei and Princess Pingning, no one is allowed to enter or leave the Fifth Prince's bedroom at will."
"Your servant/subject/commoner obeys your command!"
After all this trouble, it was already late and Xie Rong still had to deal with memorials.
He looked at the Fifth Prince and said, "I'm leaving first. You must cooperate with Doctor Pei and strive to recover as soon as possible. I'll come back to see you in a few days."
The fifth prince nodded obediently, "Yes, your son respectfully bids farewell to your father."
"Your humble servant respectfully bids farewell to the Emperor." Luo Xiyao and Pei Liangchuan said.
It was not until the emperor's procession arrived and the door slowly closed that Luo Xiyao breathed a sigh of relief.
When he turned around, he found that Pei Liangchuan had returned to his old self, slumped in the armchair in a very ungraceful manner, with his right foot resting on his left leg, shaking.
She complained, "Oh, I'm so tired. Money in this palace is so hard to earn."
Acting like a grandson.
The Fifth Prince and Eunuch Fu had seen Pei Liangchuan like this yesterday, so they were not surprised at the moment.
Eunuch Fu stepped forward with a flattering look on his face and said, "Doctor Pei, when would it be convenient for His Highness to begin treatment?"
There was no other way. Right now, only Pei Liangchuan could save the Fifth Prince's life, so Eunuch Fu naturally had to be polite.
"Cure the disease? Wasn't it cured just now? He just took my anti-drug pills." Pei Liangchuan jumped up from the armchair and stretched his body.
"Ah? But this... this..."
Eunuch Fu was a little incoherent.
Is taking a pill a cure?
Didn’t you just say that you need to take care of your body?
Seeing Eunuch Fu's stunned expression, Pei Liangchuan smiled and placed a hand on his shoulder, saying, "Don't worry, I'll write a prescription for nourishing the body later. Your Highness will drink it according to the prescription. I guarantee that it won't take long to detoxify. As for now..."
Pei Liangchuan raised his lips to a sly smile, "Of course, I'm going to the palace's storehouse where the medicinal herbs are stored. Please, Eunuch Fu."
Having said that, Pei Liangchuan took action without any hesitation and pushed Eunuch Fu out.
Eunuch Fu was being forcefully pushed away by Pei Liangchuan, and could only turn around and shout, "Princess Pingning, I'll be back soon. Please look after His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince."
Luo Xiyao opened her mouth, but before she could respond to Eunuch Fu, the door was slammed shut by Pei Liangchuan.
Luo Xiyao and the fifth prince looked at each other, and both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
-
Tai Chi Hall.
Xie Rong got off the dragon sedan chair and strode into the Taiji Hall.
The condensing aura all over his body caused many palace maids and eunuchs serving in the imperial court to lower their heads in fear wherever he passed.
A young eunuch had just come out of the tea room carrying a tray and was about to deliver the tea to the inner hall. Seeing this, he hurriedly saluted, but Xie Rong, who was passing by, picked up the teacup on the tray and smashed it to the ground.
The porcelain cup shattered and the warm tea spilled all over the floor.
All the palace maids and eunuchs immediately knelt down, not daring to breathe.
Xie Rong entered the inner hall without saying a word.
When Li Shunquan, who followed in later, saw this scene, his heart skipped a beat and he groaned inwardly.
After Xie Rong entered the inner hall, he lowered his voice and said to the young eunuch kneeling on the ground, "Hurry up and clean up this place!"
Then he looked at the other palace maids and eunuchs and said, "Be careful on your duty today!"
After saying that, he hurriedly followed Xie Rong into the inner hall.
As soon as he entered the inner hall, he found that Xie Rong's favorite white jade carved paperweight was lying on the ground in pieces.
Li Shunquan's heart suddenly started to ring with alarm bells.
I didn't dare to clean up at the moment, so I could only walk aside with light steps, trying to reduce my presence.
He wanted to be invisible, but the situation didn't allow it.
"Li Shunquan!" An angry voice sounded, scaring Li Shunquan so much that he shuddered all over.
"The slave is here!"
"Who do you think was responsible for the poisoning of Prince Rui and the Fifth Prince?"
Does this need to be said?
Who else could it be besides Prince An and Concubine Zhou?
Li Shunquan thought secretly.
But I can't say this.
The emperor might not really be unaware of this.
Li Shunquan said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, you are putting me in a difficult position. If you don't know, how can I know?"
Xie Rong snorted coldly, "Since you don't know, then investigate thoroughly. Find out who did it and bring the evidence to me!"
"Yes!" Li Shunquan agreed and turned around to make arrangements.
