"Physician Lu, do you have anything to say to me?"
Lu Qianxue hesitated for a moment, and then said to Song Huan: "Your Highness, for the past ten days, I have added a sufficient amount of mushrooms to the prince's tonic every day."
"His mental state has indeed been getting worse day by day during this period of time."
"It's just that he is locked up in the East Palace every day. Even if the mushroom's toxin has an effect, what's the use?"
"The prince is nothing more than a useless person!"
Speaking of this, a thin layer of tears fell from Lu Qianxue's eyes.
"He killed my brother. I will not only make him pay with blood, but I will also ruin his reputation!"
Song Huan did not expect that in just ten days, this poisonous mushroom would already have an effect.
"Doctor Lu, don't worry. Although Song Yu is still banned in the East Palace, as long as he is still the prince, there is a possibility of being released."
"And it's extremely possible!"
"It is said that next month will be the day when Xia's envoys go to Daliang to pay tribute."
"At that time, my father will definitely release the prince to receive the envoy."
Emperor Liang was the most face-saving person and would definitely lift Song Yu's ban during the tribute ceremony.
I wonder if Song Yu, who has been deeply affected by mushroom toxins, will do anything embarrassing when that time comes?
That scene is very exciting just thinking about it!
Thinking of this, Song Huan felt a little funny.
"hiss……"
Seeing that Song Huan suddenly had a stiff neck and showed pain on his face, Lu Qianxue quickly asked: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"
"But what's wrong with you?"
Half of Song Huan's body was a little stiff, so he could only point to his neck numbly.
"I'm afraid I've been sitting in the imperial study for too long this afternoon, and my body has become stiff."
Lu Qianxue frowned slightly, took out a pack of silver needles from the medicine box, and walked around behind Song Huan.
She gently twisted out three extremely fine silver needles and inserted them into the acupuncture points on the back of Song Huan's neck.
As her fingertips gently twisted, Song Huan soon felt a warm current coming out from the back of his neck and gradually traveling to all the limbs and bones around his body.
The sudden stiffness just now gradually disappeared.
"Hey, it feels much more comfortable!"
Song Huan clicked his tongue and said in amazement: "Mr. Lu, your medical skills are really superb."
"No wonder everyone praises you, the Lu family, as descendants of medical saints!"
Lu Qianxue didn't say anything. After pulling out the silver needle, she gently pinched Song Huan's shoulders and neck.
Her ten green jade fingers were delicate and soft, rubbing back and forth on Song Huan's shoulders and neck, making Song Huan feel an unbearable numbness.
But the numbness returned to numbness. After a burst of her manipulations, Song Huan only felt that his neck was hot and his whole body was slightly sweating.
The stiffness and soreness caused by staying in the royal study room for an afternoon soon disappeared.
"Your Highness, the place where you are staying this afternoon should be a wind outlet."
"It must be the wind on your neck that makes it suddenly stiff. It's nothing serious."
Song Huan recalled it carefully for a moment and nodded quickly: "Not bad!"
"When I was in the imperial study room in the afternoon, I did stand in the wind for a long time."
"Physician Lu, it seems that nothing can be hidden from your eyes!"
Lu Qianxue nodded slightly: "Diagnosing and treating His Highness, this is what I should do."
"You were kind to me and investigated the cause of my brother's death, giving me a chance for revenge."
"I will never forget such kindness!"
Song Huan raised his head and looked into Lu Qianxue's sincere eyes, suddenly feeling guilty.
To be fair, his purpose in finding her in the first place was just to be able to deliver a mission to Emperor Liang as soon as possible.
As for the series of things that happened next, it was just a mistake!
But facing the extremely grateful Lu Qianxue, Song Huan still chose to swallow the truth back in his stomach.
"You, a girl, are all alone. I really can't bear to let you face all this alone."
"But after you avenge your brother, do you have any other plans?"
"You can't live just for the goal of revenge, right?"
Song Huan's words made Lu Qianxue start thinking.
"Your Highness, you are right, people cannot live in hatred forever."
"After I take revenge, I will inherit my brother's legacy and join the Imperial Medical Office to carry forward the Lu family's medical skills and treat more people."
Lu Qianxue's eyes sparkled, as if she had already made up her mind to fulfill her brother's unfinished wish.
Song Huan then asked: "What about yourself?"
"Have you ever thought about marrying a good man?"
Lu Qianxue's cheeks suddenly turned red.
She has lived with her parents and brother at the foot of the mountains in the northern suburbs since she was a child.
I haven’t had much contact with people since I was a child, and when I grew up, except for doctors and patients, I rarely had contact with other people.
Although there are always countless suitors outside the small courtyard in the northern suburbs, Lu Qianxue has never had formal contact with a man.
Not to mention considering who to marry!
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, it's getting late, you..."
"You should also rest early!"
Seeing Lu Qianxue, who had always been aloof, trotting away with the medicine box at this moment, Song Huan couldn't help but feel funny.
This girl is quite a contrast!
Falling on the bed, Song Huan felt that his limbs were extremely relaxed, and a wave of sleepiness came over him.
Go to sleep, we might have to witness a violent storm in the court room tomorrow morning.
…
"Fourth brother, fourth brother!"
On the way to court the next morning.
Song Huan was walking forward with his head down when he suddenly heard several furtive calls.
Looking back, he saw Song Liang walking quickly in front of him as if he had a guilty conscience.
Seeing Song Liang's concealed expression, Song Huan found it funny.
"Are you OK?"
"It's so early in the morning, what the hell?"
Song Liang stretched his neck and looked around a few times, as if he was afraid of being seen by someone.
"Fourth brother, I heard that after the morning court yesterday, you went with your father for a private visit incognito!"
"Where did your father go?"
"You didn't say anything, did you?"
Seeing that Song Liang's face was not very good-looking, Song Huan frowned and looked at him with blazing eyes.
"You kid, what are you doing outside again?"
Song Liang's eyes evaded and he hesitated: "No, really not!"
"Isn't this because I heard that my father went on a patrol incognito yesterday, and all the officials in Dali Temple, Kaifeng Mansion and the Ministry of Personnel suffered disaster."
"I'm feeling very anxious. I want to talk to Fourth Brother first to find out what's going on!"
Looking at Song Liang's unreasonable expression, it was obvious that there was something else he was hiding.
But Song Huancai didn't bother to argue too much with him, after all, his greatest role had been played.
As for what he is willing to do, it is his own fault!
"Father didn't go anywhere yesterday. He didn't even have a private visit in disguise, but he was disturbed by Bao Xing from Dali Temple and lost all interest."
