Two days passed in calm conditions.
The seriously injured King Chen finally woke up from his dizzy coma.
Severe pain was everywhere in his body, as if hot oil was constantly burning his skin, and as if his flesh and bones were being cut inch by inch by a sharp knife. Every inch of his flesh and bone was so painful that he wanted to gouge it out.
I was in a coma for two days and nights, and had no water for two days.
King Chen opened his heavy eyelids and saw that the surrounding area seemed to be an empty house with no one around. It was so quiet that it made people panic, and the pain in his body was even more unbearable. If he moved even a little bit, he would immediately break out in cold sweat from the pain, and his pale hands would clenched weakly. Wearing bedding.
"Come...someone." He spoke with difficulty, his voice was hoarse, and his voice was as dry as smoke, "Come here!"
A maid hurriedly came in from outside the house: "My lord, are you awake?"
King Chen turned his head to look at her with great effort. His face was pale and his lips were so dry that he asked: "You...who are you?"
"Your servant, Li'er, was sent by the princess to serve the prince." After Li'er finished speaking, she suddenly thought of something, turned around and ran out quickly, "My servant, go and inform the princess."
King Chen watched her walk away, not even having the energy to shout angrily at her to come back.
After a while, Jiang Ying came in wearing a simple long dress, holding a tray in her hand, and said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty, are you awake?"
King Chen's eyes narrowed and he stared at the clothes on her body: "I...cough cough cough, I'm not dead yet. You are so plainly dressed...Who can show you that you are so plain?"
Jiang Ying walked to the table, put the tray on the table, and came over with only a bowl of soup.
Sitting down on the stool in front of the bed, her voice was as cold as any warmth: "The emperor has decreed that the prince has been demoted to a commoner. I am the wife of a commoner. Can I still dress as exquisitely and gorgeously as before? "
As he spoke, he slowly took a spoonful of medicine and brought it to his mouth: "Drink the medicine."
"What are you talking about?" King Chen was extremely shocked and suddenly raised his hand and waved her hand away, his tone was excited and frightened, "What are you talking about!"
boom!
The bowl in her hand fell to the ground, and some hot soup splashed all over Jiang Ying's hand, causing her skin to turn red immediately.
Jiang Ying's face turned pale in pain, staring at the reddened skin in a daze.
King Chen gritted his teeth and gasped in pain, but he still roared angrily: "I am a prince, how could I be demoted to a commoner? Jiang Ying, did you curse me on purpose? You just cursed me on purpose! You -"
Snapped!
Jiang Ying slapped him hard: "This is the slap you owe me, I'll give it back to you now!"
King Chen was slapped to the side of his head. He lay weakly on the bed, his body shaking and convulsing uncontrollably. The overwhelming pain swept over him, as if it was about to drown his whole body.
Jiang Ying's cold and contemptuous words rang in her ears: "Rong Chen, do you think you are still the aloof King Chen? Your father no longer wants you, he completely hates you! Except you have been demoted to a commoner. In addition, your mother-in-law has also been thrown into the cold palace, and we will never be able to turn around!"
"Fart..." King Chen grabbed the mattress and roared, his face pale and embarrassed, "Father would not do this to me. I am his most proud son, and he would not do this to me..."
"Today's medicine has been taken. The prince's injury can be treated by himself." Jiang Ying turned around and walked out, "In such a huge prince's palace, the number of servants has been reduced. Except for me and the Xu family, the number of servants in the palace has been reduced." There are no more than ten people who can use it.”
Walking to the door, Jiang Ying turned her head and looked at Rong Chen lying on the bed like a dead dog from a distance: "These ten people don't dare to be lazy for the time being, but as time goes by, they will think that you are completely useless, and you will really There’s not even anyone left to serve him.”
"The Imperial Physician Sheng is here!" The maid Li'er quickly moved out of the way, "The Imperial Physician Sheng is here..."
Jiang Ying withdrew her gaze from Rong Chen, looked at Li'er and the imperial doctor coming through the corridor, turned around and left in the opposite direction with an expressionless face.
Doctor Sheng came in carrying the medicine box, turned around and told Li'er: "Go get a basin of warm water."
"oh."
There was no one in the room. Doctor Sheng looked at King Chen's injuries and sighed sadly: "My lord, don't be too sad. There will be more children after they are gone. The princess did not mean to harm the concubine. This matter should be just An accident—"
King Chen was lying on the bed fighting against the pain.
These words of Doctor Sheng entered his ears slowly. Rong Chen was shocked, turned his head slowly, and stared at Doctor Sheng coldly: "What did you say?"
Doctor Sheng realized that he had said something wrong and quickly shook his head: "No...it's nothing."
"Mr. Sheng." King Chen gritted his teeth and said in a weak voice, "Did your father really demote me to a commoner?"
Doctor Sheng was silent for a moment: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Emperor is just angry. After all, such a big thing happened on the wedding day of the Seventh and Eighth Princes. It is reasonable for the Emperor to be angry, right? When the Emperor's anger subsides, maybe - "
King Chen interrupted him: "Two days have passed. Has the truth been found out?"
Imperial Physician Sheng stopped talking.
"Say." King Chen's eyes darkened, he took a deep breath, and then squeezed out a sentence through his teeth, "There is nothing I can't know."
"I heard that Princess Chen wanted to frame His Highness the Crown Prince." Doctor Sheng said, hesitating for a moment, as if it was difficult to speak, "She had someone drugged His Highness the Crown Prince's wine, but the wine was accidentally drunk by you, Prince. The concubine was also drugged."
King Chen was furious, his face turned livid and distorted at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then the veins on his forehead popped out little by little. He gritted his teeth and said in a voice that seemed to be wrapped in ice: "This vicious woman!"
It turns out that he owes all this to her!
Poisonous woman, poisonous woman!
Rong Chen really hated her now.
She just wanted to frame Rong Cang, so why did she drag Xu into the background? Is she jealous that Xu is pregnant with his child?
This narrow-minded bitch had reduced him from a prince to a commoner. She really deserved to die!
"Physician, the water is here." Li'er came in with a water basin and placed it gingerly on the stool in front of the bed, "Do you need...do you need me to do anything?"
Doctor Sheng said: "No, you can go out first."
"yes."
"Wait a minute." King Chen grabbed the mattress and released his clenched teeth. "How is the concubine?"
The maid's expression changed slightly, and she lowered her head and replied: "The concubine seemed to be frightened. She has been uneasy since she woke up. She didn't even eat a few mouthfuls of food. She either cried suddenly or woke up screaming, and kept shouting. 'Help'……"
King Chen closed his eyes and suppressed his emotions, still unable to restrain the murderous aura surging in his chest.
Jiang Ying, this damn poisonous woman, he said how could she be so kind-hearted, she was still having a cold war with him one day, and the next day she proposed to take the concubine out to attend the wedding banquet.
She is simply vicious and has a heart like a snake.
Under the mixture of shock, anger and resentment, King Chen's nerves were tense in pain and he was sweating profusely.
"My lord, please bear with me." Dr. Sheng gently held the soaked handkerchief and wiped the terrible scars on his back. "You have to clean it completely before applying the medicine again. A little pain is inevitable."
King Chen has never been tortured like this in his whole life.
A total of fifty sticks. If those who took action were not worried about killing the prince and getting into trouble, just based on his father's words, it is not sure whether he would have a chance to breathe today.
But to him, these were completely unforeseen disasters.
If it weren't for that vicious woman full of conspiracy, why would he need to be punished so heavily?
