The imperial doctor had a hesitant expression on his face. He hesitated for a long time without explaining clearly, which made Ouyang Chen furious: "If you can't cure the disease, what's the point of keeping you? It's better to leave the palace."
When the imperial doctor saw that the emperor was angry, he quickly knelt down again, holding the prescription in his hand, and then said to him: "Your Majesty, please calm down. It's not that I can't be cured, but this disease... is really difficult."
The imperial doctor still did not speak completely, but looked at Lin Rou'er, as if he was afraid that she would hear, and his eyes were a little evasive.
Ouyang Chen understood what he meant and hurriedly walked out of the house, accompanied by the personal eunuch and the imperial doctor.
When only the emperor and the imperial physician were left in the palace, the imperial physician raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness Prince Ning did not faint because of illness. He was actually poisoned."[
"Poisoned?" Ouyang Chen was shocked by the imperial doctor's words.
"Yes, it is a chronic poison. The effect is very slow. It seems to be the result of regular use. I am afraid it lasts for about ten years. Because the dose at one time is very small, it is not known to anyone. And this poison will also disappear after ten years."
It was almost time for the poison to take effect, which is why Prince Ning often fainted and vomited blood."
So Ouyang Chen remembered the last time Lin Rou'er came to the palace to talk to him about Lin Yixuan's reconciliation with Prince Ning. As a result, he accidentally overheard her and vomited blood and fainted on the spot. Lin Rou'er was also so anxious at that time.
Rouer cried loudly.
It turned out that it was not that he was sick, but that the poison in his body was slowly spreading.
"Is there still hope?" Ouyang Chen said calmly, but in fact he was very anxious. Ten years ago, Ouyang Xing was probably only an eleven or twelve-year-old child. Who poisoned him?
What is the purpose?
"Excuse me for being incompetent. Prince Ning's poison has entered the organs and blood of the whole body. I'm afraid he will die soon." The imperial doctor said sadly, "I was inside just now with Princess Ning guarding me. I didn't dare to tell the truth for fear that the princess would bear it.
No, so Emperor Long Yan was furious."
"You are right. I blamed you wrongly. Just keep it a secret from the princess. No one is allowed to tell it." Ouyang Chen ordered, "As for the princess asking what the disease is, just tell her that it is a mild illness and don't make her suspicious."
.”
"Yes." The doctor and eunuch said in unison.
When several people returned to the room, Lin Rou'er was still sitting by the bed, as if she had fallen into trance, maintaining the posture that Ouyang Chen saw before.
Her behavior was tantamount to self-abuse, which made Ouyang Chen angry for a moment. He ordered the maid on the side: "Help Princess Ning down to rest, and the others will take good care of Prince Ning."
"No, no need, I have to guard him. He is my husband-in-law. He will definitely come to me when he wakes up." Lin Rouer put her face against the bed and said in a calm voice.
"Do you plan to keep watch over him? If you get sick too, who will take care of him? Have you ever thought about it?"
Ouyang Chen reminded her.
Lin Rou'er raised her head and turned her eyes to look at Ouyang Chen. There was too much pain in his eyes, but she turned a blind eye and said with dull eyes: "Then I will guard him too."
Ouyang Chen almost wanted to get angry, but he finally held back and said to the others: "You all retreat outside the palace and wait for the princess to speak."
At this time, someone came to report that it was the Prime Minister who wanted to see him. Ouyang Chen took another look at the stubborn Lin Rou'er, flicked his bright yellow sleeves, and strode out of the palace.
