Is Chapter 355 a coincidence?
Xie Rong's lips curled up into an ambiguous smile. "You're quite good at talking. So, how is Prince Rui's health now?"
Pei Liangchuan first recounted the situation when Prince Rui was poisoned before, emphasizing that Prince Rui was poisoned by the second poison after being seriously injured for some time.
Then he said, "After a long period of detoxification treatment, His Royal Highness Prince Rui has long recovered. Your Majesty need not worry."
It is impossible not to worry, as King Rui's life or death is still uncertain.
Xie Rong slapped the dragon table, scaring Li Shunquan who was standing beside him so much that he trembled three times and wanted to hide his head in his collar.
"These people are so bold that they dared to poison Yuan'er!"
Seeing this, Luo Xiyao hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Rui has been cured of the poison. Now we can only hope that His Royal Highness can return safely. Now, the most important thing is His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince's illness."
Xie Rong's eyes darkened, as if he had just remembered the Fifth Prince, and he said, "Princess Pingning is right. The Fifth Prince's illness is indeed the most important issue right now."
He looked at Pei Liangchuan and said, "Even the imperial physicians at the Imperial Hospital didn't realize that Yuan'er was poisoned. Doctor Pei was so young, yet he was able to figure it out. He must have a very high level of attainment in medicine."
Pei Liangchuan was humble at this time, waving his hands repeatedly and saying: "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it, Your Majesty is too kind."
"In that case, Doctor Pei, please come with me to the Fifth Prince's bedroom to see how he is doing."
Having said that, Xie Rong stood up first and walked out of the hall.
Li Shunquan and Pei Liangchuan followed closely behind.
Luo Xiyao hesitated for a moment, then followed with a flattering face.
Anyway, the emperor didn't say that she couldn't go with him.
The group marched towards the fifth prince's bedroom in a mighty procession.
With the emperor present, the journey was naturally smooth and they soon arrived at the fifth prince's bedroom.
The door opens.
A smell of medicine wafted into my nose.
Eunuch Fu was serving the fifth prince medicine.
Seeing the emperor coming, the fifth prince struggled to stand up and salute.
Xie Rong's fingers moved slightly, and then he simply said: "You are seriously ill, no need to be so polite."
"Thank you, father." said the fifth prince.
"Your humble servant pays homage to His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince."
Luo Xiyao and Pei Liangchuan saluted the Fifth Prince together.
"Princess Pingning, please stand up. This is..." The Fifth Prince stared at Pei Liangchuan, his big eyes full of confusion, as if he was really seeing Pei Liangchuan for the first time.
This was agreed upon long ago.
After it was confirmed yesterday that Pei Liangchuan would go directly to meet the emperor, Luo Xiyao immediately sent someone to pass a message to Eunuch Fu, reminding him and the Fifth Prince to pretend that they had not met Pei Liangchuan today.
Therefore, today is the 'first' meeting.
In front of the emperor, Pei Liangchuan naturally couldn't use the same casual attitude as yesterday. He stepped forward and said respectfully: "Your Highness the Fifth Prince, I am a doctor."
"Doctor?" the fifth prince repeated, looking at the emperor.
Xie Rong said with a cold expression, "Stretch out your hand and let Doctor Pei take your pulse."
"Yes, father." The fifth prince said obediently and stretched out his hand.
Pei Liangchuan stepped forward and placed his hand on the fifth prince's pulse, holding his breath and concentrating, feeling it carefully.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet and no one spoke, but the powerful pressure from the emperor in the room made people feel a little breathless.
After an incense stick of time, Pei Liangchuan withdrew his hand and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, the Fifth Prince is not suffering from a cold, but from poisoning. This is why he is weak and coughing up blood."
"What! I'm poisoned!" The Fifth Prince exclaimed, "How...how could I be poisoned? Why can't the imperial physician feel my pulse?"
Luo Xiyao listened to the exaggerated tone of the Fifth Prince, and the corners of her mouth twitched. She hid behind him and secretly gave him a wink.
Signal him not to use too much force.
The Fifth Prince immediately softened his tone, "Am I... am I really poisoned?"
When Xie Rong heard Pei Liangchuan say that he was poisoned, a storm of fear welled up in his eyes. He said in a deep voice, "Doctor Pei, are you telling the truth? The Fifth Prince was poisoned?"
Pei Liangchuan said sternly: "Every word I said is true. I dare not deceive the emperor."
Xie Rong's voice was hoarse as he asked, "What kind of poison did you take?"
"This poison is called 'February Cough.' At first, it's very similar to a cold, making it difficult to distinguish. Three days later, the fever subsides and the cough returns. As time goes by, the cough becomes more severe, lasting for more than ten days. During this period, if the patient experiences extreme emotions, such as sadness or joy, they are very likely to suffer from palpitations or vomit blood, and then die suddenly."
"If you survive these two stages, you will start coughing up blood. It will feel like you are coughing up your heart, liver, and lungs. It will be extremely painful, and you will die from coughing up blood."
"And people who get this disease usually don't live more than two months." Pei Liangchuan said.
When Xie Rong heard the words "Extreme joy or sorrow can easily lead to heart palpitations or vomiting blood, and then sudden death", he closed his eyes.
After Pei Liangchuan finished speaking the last three words, he suddenly opened his eyes and threw the jade ring on his hand to the ground.
The fine jade ring was instantly shattered into pieces.
Li Shunquan and Eunuch Fu were so frightened that they fell to their knees and shouted, "Your Majesty, calm down!"
Luo Xiyao also knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down."
Pei Liangchuan looked left and right, and finally knelt down reluctantly, pouting and saying, "Your Majesty, calm down..."
"That's great, very good. The Imperial Hospital is full of useless trash. If it weren't for today, the Fifth Prince would have been poisoned to death and I would still be kept in the dark." Xie Rong said angrily.
Pei Liangchuan deeply agreed with this statement, but he couldn't say it that way.
He could only say against his will: "The doctors in the Imperial Hospital are all from orthodox backgrounds, unlike the common people, who are unconventional and usually dabble in poison techniques."
"This poison is also quite rare. It's possible that the imperial doctors are unaware of it, but..."
"Just what?" Xie Rong asked in a deep voice.
Pei Liangchuan seemed a little hesitant and said, "It's just that the poison that His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince was poisoned with came from the same place as the second poison that His Royal Highness Prince Rui was poisoned with before."
"I don't know if this is a coincidence."
