Chapter 514 Joy of Life 70
Then, in front of Eunuch Hou, they began to discuss the treatment plan. After studying it for a long time, the emperor, ministers, assistants, and envoys finally came up with a solution.
After all, the Second Prince's pulse is so weak right now. What if they prescribe too much medicine and it backfires, killing him instantly?
Although these imperial physicians were highly skilled, when treating the royal family, they always sought to avoid mistakes rather than seek merit.
After all, if a royal physician causes trouble, it could result in the death of nine generations of their family; no one wants to take such a big risk.
In their view, since the Second Prince was able to pull through the previous two times, he should be able to do so this time as well, right?
Even if they don't make it through, as long as they make their condition sound more serious beforehand so that everyone is mentally prepared, the ultimate responsibility won't fall on their shoulders; they can only blame Li Chengze for being unlucky.
In short, just don't get involved with them if anything goes wrong!
The group of imperial physicians arrived in a hurry, and when they left with Eunuch Hou, they were equally impatient, fearing that Li Chengze would die before they left.
Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu stared at the backs of these people, their hearts filled with anger.
"These quacks!" Xie Bi'an cursed, while Fan Wujiu's face was equally gloomy.
The two of them now wished they could rush out and kill all the imperial physicians to vent their anger.
However, reason ultimately prevailed over this impulse.
His Highness is still ill, so they must remain calm and composed, and not lose their composure due to momentary anger.
The two turned and went back into the room. They saw Li Chengze supporting himself on the bed, trying to sit up. They quickly went over to help him and put two pillows behind him to make him more comfortable.
"Your Highness, are you feeling any better now?"
Li Chengze leaned against the soft pillows, his face haggard, and gently shook his head, saying in a weak voice:
"It's nothing serious! I just need you to do something for me."
Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu quickly exchanged a glance, then Xie Bi'an nodded heavily to Li Chengze: "Your Highness, whatever your command, we will obey without hesitation, even at the cost of our lives."
Li Chengze waved his hand: "There's no need to be so nervous. It's not like I'm asking you to kill Li Chengqian and Li Yunrui."
The two: ...
Your Highness, listen to what you're saying! What do you mean by killing the Crown Prince and the Eldest Princess? Even if they wanted to, they couldn't do it!
"Go and find a way to send a message to the Control Yuan. Be sure to plan carefully and make sure no one realizes that we are the ones who released the message."
The two nodded, feeling strangely nervous.
Then Li Chengze told Li Chengqian and Li Yunrui about their affair.
Upon hearing this, Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu were instantly struck dumb, standing there frozen as if petrified.
They stared wide-eyed at Li Chengze, their faces filled with disbelief, and asked in trembling voices:
"Your Highness...you must be joking with us, right? How could the Eldest Princess and the Crown Prince possibly...?"
Li Chengze's brown eyes were deep and calm, like two bottomless pools of water.
He gazed quietly at Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu, his calm and resolute eyes silently telling them that all of this was absolutely true.
The shock Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu felt at that moment was indescribable.
He was only slightly inferior to Li Chengze, whom she could 'see' with her telekinesis.
OMG!
Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu could hardly believe their ears.
What earth-shattering secret have they heard?
The Crown Prince and the Eldest Princess are actually together... huh?
How can this be?
Although the Crown Prince's reputation for being a womanizer had already spread like wildfire in the capital, she was none other than the Eldest Princess!
She was not only the crown prince's aunt, but also a very important figure in the royal family.
How could such an immoral thing happen between them?
This completely overturned their understanding.
Is this right? Should this be done?
The two walked out of the room in a daze, as if sleepwalking, and stood outside the door for a long time before they seemed to come back to their senses from the shock.
"Should you go, or should I go?" Xie Bi'an asked Fan Wujiu, his lips trembling.
Fan Wujiu's facial muscles twitched; he really wanted to say, "Go ahead," but in the end, he held back.
He suppressed his shock and unease, forcing a smile as he said, "Your martial arts are superior to mine, so you should stay and protect His Highness."
After saying that, the eighth-rank swordsman Fan Wujiu seemed to have lost all his strength and walked unsteadily out of the courtyard.
Clearly, he had not yet recovered from this sudden blow.
Last time, Li Chengze was disgusted simply because he knew that Li Chengqian had those inappropriate feelings for Li Yunrui.
This time, Li Chengqian completely crossed the moral line, which Li Chengze found intolerable.
However, perhaps because he has suffered many setbacks, he is now much more resilient and quickly adjusted his mindset.
Since both of them will be dead in the near future anyway, why should he bother with dead people?
The most important thing right now is to focus on how to quickly rise to the top.
Now he has someone pass on the news of Li Chengqian and Li Yunrui's incestuous relationship to Chen Pingping, who is currently in a hurry to divert Emperor Qing's attention and will probably take action soon.
However, due to Emperor Qing's apprehension, Chen Pingping probably wouldn't dare to make any major moves, and might instead use someone else to do his dirty work.
He had to take precautions in advance to avoid Chen Pingping pinning the blame on him.
It should be noted that Emperor Qing highly values the royal family's reputation, and if this scandal comes to light, it will undoubtedly become an indelible stain on the royal family's history.
No one knows how many people Emperor Qing will kill in his rage to cover up the truth.
It is estimated that not only the two parties involved will not escape their fate, but anyone involved in this matter, whether they are the whistleblower or the insider, will face utter destruction; no one will be spared.
It seems I should stay sick for a few more days. In any case, I must not let this happen to me.
Besides, this wasn't exactly something to be proud of, and he wanted to stay far away from it.
However, this was a major weakness of the Crown Prince, and if used properly, it could potentially bring him down. He couldn't let this opportunity slip by.
It's unclear whether Chen Pingping is truly capable enough to make things develop in the direction he desires.
Li Chengze absentmindedly stirred the medicinal liquid in the bowl with a spoon.
The aroma of medicine, along with wisps of steam, filled the entire room. Gradually, the steam dissipated, and the aroma faded until the medicine cooled completely. Li Chengze then poured it into a flowerpot by the window.
