Chapter 513 Joy of Life 69
The lady-in-waiting at the door heard the panting coming from inside the room. Her face remained calm, but the shock in her eyes betrayed her true thoughts.
The lady-in-waiting quickly came to her senses, waved to the other palace servants standing by, signaling everyone to step back, but she remained standing guard at the door.
……
"Oh dear! Oh dear! What is this?! Oh dear!!! @@@￥￥￥%￥%￥@￥￥%&%&*%……￥￥@！%"
Li Chengze covered his eyes, and in a fit of shock, he fell off the swing and landed awkwardly on the ground.
"Oh my God! My eyes! Help!"
Li Chengze covered his eyes and screamed, his face full of terror, his intense disgust almost making him lose control.
At the same time, an indescribable feeling of nausea began to churn in his stomach, making him almost vomit.
"Your Highness! What's wrong?"
Upon seeing this, Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu were both greatly alarmed. They rushed over in a panic, their eyes filled with anxiety: "Your Highness, what's wrong? Someone, quickly fetch the imperial physician! Hurry!!!"
Li Chengze ignored their words, only feeling that his eyes were dirty and he couldn't bear to see such an inhumane thing.
Heaven knows, after the 'lesson' he learned last time, he hadn't used his telekinesis to investigate Li Yunrui and Li Chengqian's situation for a long time, only instructing his subordinates to keep a close eye on their movements.
I recently heard that the two have had less contact, and given the complex situation and the need to be constantly vigilant against various forces, I personally investigated the matter.
I never imagined I would witness such a shameful thing!
"Heavens! Why doesn't lightning strike down from the sky and kill these two inhuman bastards!" Li Chengze roared inwardly.
Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu didn't know what was wrong with him. They saw him covering his eyes, as if he were in great pain, and they became nervous, their minds racing with guesses:
Could someone have poisoned them? Or perhaps they used some kind of hidden weapon that they didn't see?
Upon realizing this, the two felt a chill run down their spines.
For safety's sake, they quickly escorted Li Chengze to another courtyard. Then, while urging the servants to quickly fetch the imperial physician, they ordered people to protect the scene and find a specialist to check whether there was any problem with the place where Li Chengze had just been.
After the two of them had been busy for a long time, Li Chengze's emotions gradually calmed down, but the nausea in his stomach lingered for a long time.
The imperial physician rushed to the Second Prince's residence and was shocked to see Li Chengze lying on the bed, pale and weak, exuding a strong aura of death.
This second prince has fallen seriously ill twice this year, and the entire Imperial Medical Academy is at a loss.
His condition seems more serious today than the previous two times. Is he really going to die this time?
The imperial physician looked at Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu, who were guarding Li Chengze on either side... and the swords in their hands. Tears began to flow silently in his heart.
What if I can't cure the Second Prince's illness today? Will I be chopped into mincemeat and fed to the dogs by these two guards?
"Imperial Physician Xu, I... ugh..." Li Chengze weakly held his forehead with his hand, and before he could finish speaking, he began to feel nauseous again.
Physician Xu mustered his courage and stepped forward: "Your Highness, please extend your arm so that I may take your pulse."
Li Chengze glanced at him, then slowly closed his eyes, letting Physician Xu take his pulse.
He was quite shocked just now. By the time he came to his senses, the mansion was already on high alert, and Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu had already summoned the imperial physician.
Now that things have come to this, he cannot refuse the imperial physician's treatment, nor can he reveal the existence of his psychic powers; he can only continue to suffer from his illness.
Anyway, he's definitely been so stimulated that he's not far from getting sick.
……
"Did the second prince summon the imperial physician again?"
Emperor Qing put down his bow and arrow, his brows furrowed, and his sharp gaze fell upon Eunuch Hou.
The latter bowed deeply and answered respectfully:
"Your Majesty, it was Physician Xu from the Imperial Hospital who examined the Second Prince's pulse. He said that the Second Prince's illness may have relapsed because the root cause of his previous two illnesses had not been cured, and the continuous autumn rains today have caused his old ailment to recur."
Physician Xu also said that the Second Prince's pulse was extremely weak, like a willow catkin in the wind, light and feeble, unable to withstand strong medicine; he could only be slowly recuperated.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Qing narrowed his eyes, then suddenly raised his bow and arrow and shot it at the candles burning inside the hall.
The arrow was swift as a shooting star, piercing the wick of the burning candle with perfect accuracy.
"Then let all the imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital take a look. We can't let the second prince stay sick like this forever."
The Emperor's deep voice contained a subtle, almost imperceptible chill.
Having served Emperor Qing for many years, Eunuch Hou understood his character very well. In the blink of an eye, he caught the hint of coldness in those words.
In an instant, he broke out in a cold sweat, and sighed inwardly: Even tigers don't eat their cubs, yet their emperor wouldn't even spare his sick flesh and blood. How heartless!
Despite being terrified inside, Eunuch Hou maintained a calm and composed demeanor.
He respectfully accepted the imperial edict, then carefully and cautiously withdrew from the main hall, heading straight for the Imperial Hospital.
In the past, Emperor Qing used Li Chengze as a whetstone to hone the crown prince, but now that Li Chengze has fallen seriously ill time and time again, he can't help but have doubts:
Could it be that the second prince realized he wanted to use his life to temper the crown prince, so he wanted to use illness to withdraw from the struggle with the crown prince?
Or perhaps they are quietly gathering strength, secretly plotting a plan that could bring down the Crown Prince?
Emperor Qing simply did not believe that Li Chengze was truly seriously ill. Even though all the imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital were in agreement, he remained skeptical.
Emperor Qing himself was able to endure the pain of having his meridians severed and eventually become a Grandmaster, so he never underestimates a person's willpower.
Li Chengze is ruthless, not only towards others but also towards himself.
Given his grudge against the Crown Prince, he would never easily give up the struggle for the throne until the very last moment.
He will definitely not die until he sees the Crown Prince die or ascend to the throne.
Even if it's just to endure, he will persevere to the very end and then give himself a dignified death.
It must be said that Emperor Qing was extremely confident and extremely cunning.
Even with all the evidence laid bare before him, he remained steadfast in his belief in his own judgment.
Therefore, when he began to doubt Li Chengze's illness, even though all the imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital concluded that Li Chengze was critically ill, he still did not believe it.
At most, they will temporarily halt their use of Li Chengze, observe for a while, and then continuously verify their guesses.
Because in Emperor Qing's world, he only believes in himself.
Eunuch Hou and the imperial physicians quickly arrived at Li Chengze's residence, and the physicians took turns examining Li Chengze's pulse.
