Xu Bingde shook his gray beard and asked the prince: "Your Highness, did you really poison Prince Ning's food and wine?"
Liu Yan answered innocently: "No matter how stupid I am, I would never poison him at my banquet! This is clearly framed."
Xu Bingde's eyes became a little uneasy, "I'm afraid that the Emperor and the old man have other ideas about this matter!"
Liu Yan began to have lingering fears, "Then... what should we do now?"
Just when the two of them were at a loss what to do, Crown Princess Xu Fang pushed the door open and said calmly while closing the door: "Your Highness, at this time you should go to Prince Ning's Mansion immediately to greet him."
Liu Yan looked embarrassed, "Isn't this..." Then he thought about it and felt it was inappropriate, "No, no, no, and the court meeting is about to start."
Xu Fang walked up to Liu Yan and said: "There are meetings every day. Now that you are the crown prince of a country, just let them wait. But if you go to Ning Prince's Mansion, you will get more benefits. Visiting, now your Highness is both the crown prince and the prince overseeing the country. Now that such a big thing has happened, if His Highness is indifferent and does not go to visit, isn't it really to avoid suspicion? Secondly, it is also to find out whether Prince Ning is really He was unconscious due to food poisoning.”
After hearing this, Liu Yan felt that what Xu Fang said was reasonable. He looked helplessly at Xu Bingde beside him. When his father-in-law nodded and felt that it was reasonable, he bit the bullet and said, "Then even if it's a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, I still want to go there." .”
The prince's car stopped at Xining Street. Liu Yan got off the carriage, frowned and looked at the plaque of Prince Ning's Mansion, and then looked at the servants of the Prince's Mansion coming in and out of the door. He couldn't help but feel worried. It seemed that at this time, everything in the Prince's Mansion was up and down. The people below must be very busy. If Liu Yan had not entertained King Ning yesterday, then he might have been so happy that King Ning was poisoned, but Liu Xun happened to have this happen after having a banquet at his house.
The moment Liu Yan was stunned, the butler from Prince Ning's Mansion had already come up to him and saluted him.
"Excuse me!" Liu Yan flipped his sleeves impatiently, "How is the prince's condition?"
The butler led the way and replied: "Your Majesty has been vomiting violently since he returned home from the night banquet last night. He started to fall into coma after the fifth watch, and he still doesn't feel better now."
When Liu Yan heard the butler talking about the night banquet, he felt disgusted, but he couldn't help it, so he had to quicken his pace and continued to ask: "Did you ask for a doctor? What did they say?"
"The imperial doctor in the palace prescribed medicine, but it didn't work. Now everyone in the palace is at a loss." The housekeeper choked up as he spoke.
Liu Yan became more and more anxious after hearing this. When Liu Yan followed the housekeeper to the main room, the door was already filled with anxiously waiting family members.
When the male and female family members of Prince Ning's residence saw that the prince was coming, they were furious, but they couldn't say anything, so they all turned their heads away without saluting. Liu Yan saw that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he came to the door and saluted everyone first, and asked anxiously: "How is Uncle Wang?"
More than a dozen family members were still sobbing in front of the main room, ignoring Liu Yan. Liu Yan's face turned red, but he didn't know how to react, so he curled his lips in embarrassment and walked into the main room.
There were seven or eight people already standing in the room, including Liu Xun's wife and several sons. Sitting beside the bed was the imperial physician from the imperial hospital. The imperial physician's right hand was feeling Liu Xun's pulse, while his left hand was stroking his gray beard. He closed his eyes slightly and remained silent for a while. The people standing in the room all looked nervous, completely unaware of the arrival of the prince behind them. Seeing the situation, Liu Yan didn't want to be disturbed, so he had to stand aside and watch. When the imperial doctor sighed softly and shook his head, everyone present nervously asked about the situation. It was the imperial doctor who raised his eyes and noticed the prince first, so he quickly took out his hand and saluted the prince. The people nearby looked back at the prince, but they seemed not to have seen him, and continued to ask the imperial doctor, Prince Ning, how he was doing.
Liu Yan also asked: "Mr. Wang, how is Uncle Wang?"
Doctor Wang's expression was solemn, and the anxious eyes of his family members made him feel ashamed. After looking at everyone, he looked back at Prince Ning who was lying on the bed. At this time, Prince Ning's complexion was dark green, his lips were purple and black, and his breath was as thin as a thread. You could tell at a glance that this was a sign of poisoning.
Liu Xingyuan was the most nervous, "Physician, how is the situation? Could you please say something? My father is a sign of poisoning, so you should diagnose it as soon as possible so that we can prescribe the right medicine!"
Doctor Wang sighed, "Hey! Your Majesty, he is too poisoned, I'm afraid..."
Liu Xingzhi said anxiously: "I'm afraid of something..."
"I'm afraid that even if Hua Tuo is reincarnated, there will be no way to save him!"
Princess Ning burst into tears after hearing this. Liu Xingzhi pointed at the imperial doctor and cursed angrily: "I see that all of you imperial doctors are just eating corpses. You shake your head one by one. On weekdays, you are cheerful when asking for money, but you only shake your head when you are practicing medicine."
Liu Xingyuan's eyes were filled with tears, "Mr. Wang, please save my father no matter what!"
Liu Xingzhi saw that his brother was also crying, so he scolded Liu Xingyuan and said, "Liu Xingyuan, our father is still angry. Why are you crying like a girl?"
Princess Ning wiped away her tears and said angrily: "Xing Zhi! After all, Xing Yuan is your brother, how can you talk like this!"
Liu Xingzhi snorted coldly and rolled his eyes at Liu Xingyuan, "How can a commoner be compared to me?"
After Liu Xingzhi said this, Aunt Zhou, who was standing behind her, suddenly turned red and lowered her head to wipe her tears with her sleeves. Liu Xingyuan ignored his brother's words and deeds and continued to ask the imperial doctor: "Physician Wang, my father has always been in good health. It should not be too late to give him the antidote now."
The prince also asked with concern: "Mr. Wang, if you can cure my uncle Wang, I will definitely reward you with a large sum of money."
Liu Xingzhi rolled his eyes at Liu Yan with disdain and muttered: "It's really a tiger hanging rosary beads."
"You..." Liu Yan was about to get angry, but seeing the situation, he felt unable to speak and retracted his pointing hand.
Dr. Wang sighed, "Xiaguan's medical skills are limited. I really don't know the prince's poison, but all poisons have something in common. Let's do this. Xiaguan will prescribe a prescription first. You can boil it with water and divide it. Give the decoction once an hour until the prince wakes up, then sweep chicken feathers across the throat to induce vomiting to detoxify. After vomiting, give the decoction again and you will be cured. But..."
"But what?" everyone asked urgently.
"But if the prince is unable to wake up, I'm afraid..." Dr. Wang shook his head and did not continue. He just handed over his hand with regret, "I am not completely sure, so I can only do this now." After that, Open the medicine box on the table, take out a pen and paper and write down the prescription. After Dr. Wang finished writing the prescription, he gently blew the ink on the paper and handed the prescription into the hands of Princess Ning.
