Chapter 164 - Poisoning by Little Princess

If this was any other day, she would have cried incessantly. Why was it so quiet today?

Qin Luofei saw the little princess' originally rosy face turn pale, even her breathing became a little abnormal. Qin Luofei was alarmed, she had a premonition that something was wrong. She stretched out her hand to caress the little princess' forehead. Her forehead was extremely cold, not at her usual temperature.

"Sunflower, quickly go find the imperial physician." Qin Luofei's first reaction was to feel cold.

It was raining heavily outside, as if the sky was about to collapse. Xi Ju took up her umbrella and quickly ran out of Huishang Hall.

Qin Luofei picked up the child, but the child never opened her eyes. She felt that something was wrong. Since the moment she was born, Princess Tranquil had suffered a chill once, but she still opened her eyes. Why couldn't she open them now?

She reached out her hand to test the child's breathing, making it seem even weaker. Things were not good. Could he have been poisoned? In her previous life, she couldn't protect her own flesh and blood. In this life, no matter what, she couldn't let anything happen to her child.

In the Jin Se Palace, the Imperial Consort Leng had a complacent expression.

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be happening at this time."

Originally, when Yun Er sent the tonics over, her hands were already stained with some colourless and tasteless poison powder. This poison powder could not be cured by ordinary imperial doctors, she only needed to ask the Zither Moon Palace to wait for the grievous news that would come from the Huishang Hall.

Daihua invited the imperial physician, and the diagnosis turned out to be a cold. Qin Luofei, who knew a bit about medicine, felt that this was not due to the cold.

"Imperial Physician, take a closer look. Did you get it wrong?" Why is Princess Anping Feng Han unable to wake up? " Qin Luofei was very doubtful of the imperial physician.

"Concubine Qin, I have practiced medicine for many years, are you going to question my medical skills?"

After the disappearance of the Emperor Yun and the restoration of the late emperor, there were many new beauties gifted to them by the princes and ministers. Many people did not know that there was such a Concubine Qin in the most remote corner of the palace. Even the imperial physician didn't know the seriousness of the situation and didn't have a very good attitude towards Qin Luofei.

"Imperial Physician, please do your best to treat my Princess Tranquil. She was just bestowed the title a few days ago, if something were to happen to her after she was bestowed the title, you wouldn't be able to bear the blame when the time comes."

Qin Luofei had long since gotten used to the palace people acting like this. She was too weak, and was afraid of being bullied. This was also the reason why her personality had changed greatly in her past life. If people don't offend me, then I won't offend them.

Hearing Qin Luofei's words, the imperial physician didn't dare to say more. He wrote out a few prescriptions and left.

The sky was not beautiful, and the rain continued for several days. There was a lot of water in Huishang Hall's courtyard, so he quickly stepped through the rain and ran out.

Princess Tranquil suffered from wind chill for several days in succession, and after eating the medicinal formula prescribed by the imperial physician, he did not wake up for a long time. Seeing the dying Princess Tranquil, Qin Luofei's tears fell like rain. After asking around, they heard that there was a famous doctor in the capital who needed to bring the Princess Tranquil out of the palace to seek help. She braved the heavy rain to find the Emperor Ming. If it wasn't for this child, why would she take the initiative to find this heartless and merciless man?

After a few days and nights of taking care of Qin Luofei, who hadn't slept a wink from Princess Tranquil, the rain was so heavy that it fell on her eyes, making it hard for her to walk. But seeing that her child was running out of steam, she had to find the Emperor Ming as soon as possible for him to approve. This was also the last hope.

Emperor Ming was currently immersed in the Concubine Qin's dance, he did not know that such a thing had happened in the Huishang Hall. The Imperial Consort Leng had already sealed off all information regarding Qin Luofei and the Princess Tranquil, so no one dared to mention a single word in front of the Emperor Ming.

Furthermore, the people of the palace had heard that the Concubine Qin was a woman who had served a Sovereign King for two generations, so even if they heard about her, they would not dare to speak carelessly about it in the Emperor Ming.

"Your majesty, this is a dance concubine specially practiced for you. I wonder if your majesty likes it?" The graceful figure of the Concubine Qin floated back and forth in front of her eyes.

"Beautiful, beautiful!" The Emperor Ming had not enjoyed watching the dance for a while now.

Concubine Qin was someone of the Imperial Consort Leng, she had long known that Princess Tranquil had suffered from the cold and had not woken up yet. Today, she was purposely luring the Emperor Ming to watch her singing and dancing performance, so it was likely that today would be the day of Princess Tranquil's death.

Concubine Qin walked over to Emperor Ming and sat in his arms.

"Your majesty, it's raining heavily outside. How about staying here to accompany you tonight?" Concubine Qin said tenderly.

"Good, it's rare for Concubine Qin to arrange a dance so meticulously, please serve me properly tonight." As she spoke, the Emperor Ming placed a kiss on the Concubine Qin's forehead.

"The emperor has decreed that one cannot enter as one pleases."

Qin Luofei was stopped outside the door by a young eunuch.

"Scram, I have something that I need to find Emperor Ming for." Qin Luofei's cold eyes swept over the two little eunuchs blocking the way, with the temperament of someone who would block my way to his death.

"The emperor has an order. You can't just casually enter."

"Scram for me."

Qin Luofei ignored all obstructions and rushed forward to knock the door open. When the scene before her eyes appeared once again, her eyes were already bloodshot.

His flesh and blood were on the verge of death in the Huishang Hall, yet he could ignore it and continue to follow the Concubine Qin here.

Qin Luofei's sudden intrusion into the Emperor Ming was extremely surprising, and her eyes became even colder. He hated people who looked down on others the most, he was a man from the Emperor Ming, a man who was above everyone else. He could not help but feel disgust at the fact that he had barged in without his consent.

He only saw Qin Luofei's entire body being drenched, her face deathly pale, and a trace of pity in her ice-cold eyes.

"Your majesty, chenqie has a request." Qin Luofei suppressed the anger in her heart. In her previous life, she did not know how to endure being chopped into ten thousand pieces. Now, she knew how to cherish herself even more. She knelt on the ground with watery eyes.

Originally, he wanted to scold this Concubine Qin who didn't know the rules, but when he saw her tears fall, he felt sympathy in his heart. This scene reminded him of the day when she was also kneeling in front of him. She deeply valued him, but in the end, she was thrown into the Ten Thousand Beast Pit, not even her bones remained.

"What's the matter?" The Emperor Ming asked.

Concubine Qin, who was at the side, saw that Emperor Ming did not scold him. Instead, there was some pity in her eyes. The Emperor Ming felt pity for this woman.

"Your majesty, the Princess Tranquil is in the dead of the night and no one can cure her. Your consort humbly requests that Your Majesty grant us permission to bring the Princess Tranquil out of the palace for treatment."

"Concubine Qin, all of the imperial physicians in the palace are only allowed to enter the palace to seek doctors only after being carefully selected from all over the place. Didn't you say that the imperial physician was incapable? " The Concubine Qin said.

"The Princess Tranquil is sick?" Emperor Ming was surprised, he did not know about this at all.

"Exactly, I heard that there's a famous doctor from the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain outside the capital, and the Imperial Physician's prescription didn't show any signs of improvement. Now that Princess Tranquil's life is at stake, I request that Your Majesty grant my concubine permission to bring the princess out of the palace immediately."

The Emperor Ming hesitated for a moment. His sons had all died, and only one would be able to be saved.

"Yes."

"Your Majesty, if Concubine Qin brought him out of the palace, it would inevitably lead to controversy. An illness in the palace was an ominous sign. Wouldn't it be even more obvious if he left the palace to treat it? The Emperor has only been reborn a few months ago, so that's not a good name for the Emperor. " Concubine Qin reminded Emperor Ming.

"Your majesty, chenqie can sneak out of the palace to treat him. I absolutely won't reveal my identity." Qin Luofei was extremely anxious, every second she wasted caused her life to be in danger.

"Go, and remember not to reveal your identity."

Qin Luofei laboriously stood up, turned around, and disappeared from Emperor Ming's line of sight.

Why did seeing her always remind him of that woman? Ever since the Emperor Yun fell, he had always thought of her, who went through trials and tribulations together with him, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty. It was just that everything was a thing of the past. As a sovereign, countless people were destined to sacrifice themselves for him.

Qin Luofei returned to the Huishang Hall and arranged for a carriage to be arranged to leave the palace in a hurry with Princess Tranquil and Dazzling Spring. Her every move was already under surveillance. The seal of the Emperor Ming was an invisible protection to her, but to her, leaving the palace was even more so a threat. Many things that could not be done in the palace could be easily done outside.

It rained heavily for a few days. The originally bustling market was now empty and muddy. Finally, she brought Princess Tranquil to the door of the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain's famous doctor's house.

The door was closed. It looked like no one was home.

"Open the door, please open the door." Qin Luofei's task was to knock on the door, and the pale face of the Princess Tranquil in her arms slowly turned dark.

"Miss, let me do it." Daffodil Daydream was also screaming nonstop.

After a long while, the tightly shut door finally opened. In front of Qin Luofei was a tall and big man. The man was as handsome as a knife's edge, and his entire person exuded a king's aura that shook the world.

The moment the man saw Qin Luofei, his eyes revealed a tender affection. He looked at the infant in her arms in disbelief. Thick eyebrows rose slightly in defiance.

"Miss, may I ask who you're looking for?"

"I'm looking for Lintaif, asking him to save my child." Qin Luofei bared her teeth, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Give me the child." The man unhesitatingly took the child from her arms and walked in.

The famous Southern Barbaric Doctor's original name was Lin He. In less than three months since he had arrived in the capital, he had relied on his medical skills to treat many difficult illnesses and became famous. With the help of Consort Shu, Qin Luofei found out that there was such a famous doctor outside the palace.

"Miss, please drink some tea. Master has already taken your child to be treated." The man personally cut Qin Luo's tea.

Qin Luofei raised her head and looked into the man's eyes. In that instant, the man purposely avoided her gaze.

"Thank you. I hope nothing will happen to Tranquil East." Qin Luofei worriedly waited for Lintaif to come out of the house.

After a long while, Lin He finally walked out. He first looked at the man in front of him.

"Girl, your child is poisoned. I just used acupuncture to suck out the venom from her body, so my life is no longer in danger. Fortunately, the girl was in time, otherwise I'm afraid she would have. "

"Thank you, Lintaif." Qin Luofei was extremely grateful, hot tears brimming in her eyes.

"But the child needs a few more days."
