Chapter 173 His Royal Highness the Third Prince is dying
Chapter 173 His Royal Highness the Third Prince is in danger of death
Weiyang Palace.
"Fourth sister, why are you distracted again?"
Su Jiu held the writing brush in her little hand, looked at Su Jingqin opposite who was still not writing, and asked strangely.
Su Jingqin came back to her senses, glanced at the villain, and looked at the crooked chess map drawn by the villain in front of her. At this time, the circles had been connected into four. Whether she blocked the front or the back, she lost.
"You've already won, and you still ask me to lose!" Su Jingqin was furious, and gently poked the tip of the villain's nose with a brush.
Su Jiu wiped the ink spots on the tip of her nose carelessly, and pouted, "Humph, fourth sister, you are always distracted. You have been distracted since you came here to play backgammon with me. Fourth sister, who are you thinking about?"
"
The little man put down the brush in his hand, gently held his chin with his two small fleshy hands, his apricot eyes flashed, and his face looked curious.
Su Jingqin subconsciously touched her wrist and said as if she was suddenly stepped on: "No! No! Who am I not thinking about?"
Su Jiu narrowed her eyes slightly, hmm, there is something wrong with the fourth sister~
The villain stood up, walked around the table to Su Jingqin's side, and sat down.
Su Jingqin subconsciously moved to the side.
Su Jiu hugged Su Jingqin's arm to prevent her from moving, and rolled up her sleeves with her little hands. Her almond-shaped eyes showed a light like a little fox, and her mouth opened slightly in pretending to be surprised, "Fourth sister, what is this?
ah?"
I saw an extra red rope on Su Jingqin's slender wrist. Perhaps it was too long and had been wrapped several times. The bottom of the red rope was decorated with a jade-like wolf tooth.
Su Jingqin couldn't see the villain's ridicule. She stretched out her fingertips and poked her forehead in shame, "You know what you're asking!"
Su Jiu's little head shook like a rattle.
"Jiu'er is so young and doesn't know anything. Fourth sister, what are you talking about?"
Seeing the expression on the villain's face that said, "This baby is still young, you can't teach a child bad things." Su Jingqin ground her back molars.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw the curtain in the room being opened and Cai Ju walked in from the outside, "Princess and the Fourth Highness, you guys have been playing for so long, I'm afraid you are hungry. Jing Yi just brought some pastries from the imperial kitchen.
"
Seeing the food, Su Jiu's attention was immediately diverted, and Su Jingqin breathed a sigh of relief.
Caiju watched Su Jiu and Su Jingqin eating cakes, thinking about the news she had just heard when she went to the Imperial Hospital to get the soothing medicine for the princess, she hesitated to speak.
Su Jiu noticed Caiju's expression, raised her head, and asked somewhat strangely: "Sister Caiju, what's wrong with you?"
Cai Ju subconsciously glanced at Su Jingqin who was standing aside, and said: "Back to the princess, when I went to the Imperial Hospital just now, I heard people from the Imperial Hospital talking about it... His Highness the Third Prince fell into a coma and was dying."
‘Click’
Su Jingqin was startled, and the cake in her hand fell to the table.
"I heard that, but I don't know the specific situation very well." Seeing that Su Jingqin's expression was wrong, Caiju said quickly.
Although Su Jiu was also worried about Su Hongxuan, she did not panic for a moment. She put down the cakes in her hands and jumped down from the stool. She took Su Jingqin's hand, raised her head and said to Caiju: "Sister Caiju, the fourth sister and I are going to do it now."
Go to Third Brother’s palace and talk to Sister Cuizhu later.”
Caiju nodded, "Yes, princess."

"Your Majesty, Xuan'er..."
Concubine Liu knelt down on the ground, clutching the hem of Su Yijun's clothes tightly with her fingers, as if Su Yijun was the last straw.
Su Yijun helped her up, let the maid on the side hold her, and walked to the couch.
Due to his health, Su Hongxuan did not grow up in the palace since he was a child. Even Su Yijun rarely saw this son.
"Mr. Chu."
Chu Bai bowed and said, "Old minister is here."
"How is the third prince's health?" Su Yijun stood beside Su Hongxuan's bed with his hands behind his hands, looking at the pale young man, a complex look flashed in his narrow eyes.
At this point, Chu Bai didn't dare to hide it anymore and told him everything about the diagnosis he had just made.
"How could it be? Xuan'er's health has obviously improved a lot over the years, why did it happen all of a sudden?"
Concubine Liu's delicate face turned pale as Chu Bai spoke, and her heart suddenly became filled with grief.
Chu Bai looked at Concubine Liu's shaky body and sighed softly in his heart, "If you don't believe me, you can ask other imperial doctors to come with you for diagnosis and treatment. Maybe I made a mistake in diagnosis..."
Chu Bai wanted to say some comforting words, but he didn't know what he could say.
"No need, Imperial Physician Chu, just tell me, is there any way to save the third prince?"
Su Yijun couldn't hear Chu Bai's comforting words, so he interrupted and asked.
"As Your Majesty and Your Majesty know, His Highness's illness is caused by congenital weakness. Now only the Tianshan Snow Lotus in the palace...may be able to save His Highness's life."
"Tianshan Snow Lotus?" Su Yijun frowned, "This Snow Lotus has been kept in the palace for a long time. If it can really be cured, why wasn't it used to treat the third prince's illness before?"
Although Tianshan Snow Lotus is relatively scarce among medicinal materials, even Beiyan Kingdom only has three of them, but to Su Yijun, it is just a medicinal material.
Therefore, when Chu Bai mentioned it, his tone was indifferent.
On the other hand, Concubine Liu, who knew that the snow lotus was precious, was slightly stunned. She always thought that His Majesty was reluctant to use the snow lotus to save Xuan'er. She had been resentful these years.
Chu Bai explained: "The Tianshan Snow Lotus is so nourishing that the body of the Third Highness cannot bear it. Therefore, I really don't dare to use it unless it is absolutely necessary."
And now is the time of last resort.
After all, this man is about to die, so he can only treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor.
Su Yijun nodded and glanced at Zhou Fu.
Zhou Fu understood immediately, "Then I'd like to ask Imperial Physician Chu to go with this servant to see how to use this snow lotus."
Chu Bai glanced at Su Yijun, bowed, and followed Zhou Fu.
The inner hall fell silent instantly.
Concubine Liu was helped to sit down on the side. Ever since Su Hongxuan fell into coma, she had been standing by the couch, never leaving.
"Your Majesty, please take a rest."
Concubine Liu Guifei looked at Su Yijun and said hesitantly.
"No need."
Su Yijun glanced at Concubine Liu, and saw that she looked haggard. Her worry was almost written on her face, and she comforted her and said, "Concubine, don't worry, Xuan'er will definitely be blessed with good fortune."
After hearing this, Concubine Liu's eyes filled with tears again, and she glanced at Su Hongxuan worriedly, "I hope so."
Concubine Liu is the second daughter of Prime Minister Liu and the biological sister of the late queen. She is a woman who grew up in a boudoir.
With a weak temperament, she married Su Yijun when he was still a prince, and from then on he regarded Su Yijun as his god.
Later, Su Hongxuan was born, and Concubine Liu focused all her attention on Su Hongxuan.
"I knew this day would come, but I never thought it would happen so quickly."
