Chapter 130 Powerless
Chapter 130 Powerless
Once suspicion arose, it was only a matter of time before Prince Yi was poisoned.
However, none of this is a top priority at this moment.
The most urgent task is how to help Prince Yi safely overcome the current crisis.
If Prince Yi completely loses control of himself, the poisonous insect in his body will also go out of control, and only death will await him.
"Rope." Prince Yi's voice was hoarse as he gave the order again.
Su Rao hurriedly looked around and finally found a strong rope in the bottom drawer of the desk.
"Tie my hands." Prince Yi's tone was resolute. It was obvious that he had realized that he was about to lose control and needed external force to restrain himself.
Su Rao hardened her heart and quickly walked behind him, tied the rope tightly around his wrists, and fixed his feet firmly on the bed.
After everything was arranged, she sat aside and watched as Prince Yi's eyes gradually became blurry and his out-of-control symptoms became more and more obvious. However, she was helpless and felt anxious and helpless...
As time passed, the air seemed to freeze.
"Rao'er..." Prince Yi suddenly called out softly, his eyes filled with tenderness and deep desire.
"Rao'er, come close to me." He called softly, his tone was full of lingering sadness, his eyes were gentle and seductive.
Another gentle call, Su Rao was unable to resist the temptation after all, she slowly stood up and walked towards him.
Standing beside the bed, facing that stunning face, she couldn't help but lower her head, wanting to get closer to those dry and tempting lips...
But at the moment of touch, Su Rao regained her senses, suddenly woke up, and quickly stepped back, as if awakened from a dream.
A crisp sound of slapping echoed in the room, and with this sound, Prince Yi seemed to have regained some of his former composure.
Obviously, the poison administered by the King of Qi was not only highly toxic, but also had a mind-confusing effect!
"Your Highness, you have to hold on." Su Rao's words were full of earnestness and concern.
But how long should we persist?
Every second is a great test of will.
Prince Yi gritted his teeth. On the surface, he seemed as cold as ice, but his heart was like boiling lava. Once it erupted, the consequences would be disastrous.
Su Rao prayed silently in his heart, hoping that the cold shell could suppress the heat in his body that was about to get out of control...
Suddenly, Prince Yi covered his abdomen, his handsome face twisted by the sudden severe pain, and a stream of bright red blood gushed out from the corner of his mouth, which was sad and shocking!
When Su Rao saw this, her face suddenly changed. Without time to think, she rushed to Prince Yi's side.
She stretched out her arms and hugged the shaky body tightly, her voice filled with anxiety and worry that could not be concealed: "Prince!"
At this moment, Prince Yi's face turned pale instantly. The gushing blood seemed to have taken away all his vitality. He was so weak that he seemed like he would disappear in the wind at any time.
Could it be that the sealed insect in the body has lost control?
Su Rao felt a panic in her heart and hurriedly untied the clothes that were bound on him, trying to find a way to relieve the pain.
"Your Majesty, please lie down first. I will go and ask the imperial physician to come immediately..."
Before she finished her words, a firm thought flashed through her mind—Prince Yi, you must not fall down like this.
This is not only because he is her only support in this deep palace, but also because deep in her heart, she has long been unwilling to imagine a world without him.
Just as she turned to leave, a weak but firm hand grabbed her tightly, like the last straw a drowning person grasped.
"Rao'er, don't go." Prince Yi's voice was weak.
Su Rao's steps came to an abrupt halt, and she turned her eyes to the barely breathing Prince Yi with tenderness and caring.
He struggled to lean on the pillow, and it seemed that only his willpower was supporting him to remain sitting. Then he slowly took out a jade pendant as warm as water from his arms and handed it to Su Rao with trembling hands.
"Take this jade pendant, leave the palace, take your mother and sister with you, and go far away to the capital..."
Su Rao's eyes suddenly turned red, and with tears flashing in her eyes, she stared at the extremely weak man in front of her, who was still planning for her future, with unspeakable pain and confusion in her heart.
Did he have a premonition of something unexpected happening, so he arranged a retreat for her in advance?
The candle of his life seemed to be about to go out, but he was still concerned about her safety. This deep affection made Su Rao's heart feel as if it was being stabbed by thousands of needles.
In this life, apart from his mother, no one else can care about her like he does.
"Your Highness, there will always be a turning point." Su Rao said with a sob, holding back tears.
Prince Yi shook his head slightly, his tone full of fatigue and helplessness: "I know my physical condition best. I am extremely tired after all this journey."
His words made people feel sad.
No, how could he say he was tired?
How could she seek liberation alone, leaving her to fight alone in this troubled world?
Su Rao felt a strong sense of unwillingness and reluctance in her heart.
"Don't be sad, silly child. Everyone will eventually say goodbye in this life." Prince Yi tried hard to force a comforting smile, trying to ease her sadness.
Everyone is mortal since ancient times, but why can't it be decades in the future?
She had finally found this warmth and support, and her life had just shown a glimmer of hope. How could he give up so easily?
What's more, she still had improper thoughts about him, and all the good things had not yet begun. How could he just leave this world like this?
Regardless, he couldn't just leave like this.
There must be a solution.
A light bulb went off in Su Rao’s mind.
"Bai Ze!" Su Rao called out this name with almost all her strength.
There was silence all around, and no one answered.
Bai Ze, the mysterious and powerful existence, almost became her last hope.
Is it true that there is no cure for the poison in Prince Yi's body?
"Bai Ze!" Su Rao called out again, with a determination and pleading in her voice that could not be ignored.
At this moment, a white figure jumped down from a height like a divine soldier from heaven and landed steadily in front of Su Rao.
Looking at the familiar white figure, Su Rao could no longer hold back her tears and they slid down her cheeks.
"Bai Ze, save him." Su Rao's voice was full of pleading and expectation.
Prince Yi's gaze unconsciously fell on Su Rao's hand that was tightly grasping Bai Ze's sleeve. His brows were slightly furrowed, and he felt mixed emotions.
"His poison has taken effect, and there's nothing I can do about it." Bai Ze told him frankly, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
"You can't do it, but maybe someone else can. Didn't you mention that there is an expert before?" Su Rao was extremely anxious and refused to give up any hope.
"He has passed away." Bai Ze's answer made Su Rao's heart sink.
"Is there really no cure? Doesn't he have any disciples? Maybe his disciples have a way." Su Rao did not give up and kept asking.
As long as Prince Yi can survive, she will never give up even if there is only a glimmer of hope!
This was her promise to him and also to herself.
