Chapter 337 You've Fallen into the Trap
The setting sun was dim, clouds were shrouded in evening mist, and Prince Dijin's palace gradually became shrouded in the darkness of the night.
After taking the medicine, Gao Jing looked worried and asked to see the prince.
"Early this morning, late at night, the prince granted me leave and allowed me to go back to the mansion to rest. Before I could sleep, Lord Lin's entourage suddenly arrived and asked me to go to the Lin Mansion. I valued my loyalty and went immediately."
"Lord Lin complained about the endless fighting in the Imperial Hospital, and that the Imperial Physician Lord An was targeting him. The conversation lasted until early morning. He said that he still had to work at the Imperial Hospital, so I immediately agreed to his request and went to Yiren Qingcheng to deliver the prescription to Lord Fang."
"Just like that, I didn't sleep all night, and I was inevitably upset. I saw Miss Ning's live broadcast, thanking the reward and pretending to be coquettish, so I complained a little and accused the county magistrate of not teaching his sister well."
"How could it be a misunderstanding? The live broadcast method was not taught by the princess. It was actually Fourth Miss Ning who volunteered. In order to ask for the princess's forgiveness, I would like to stay and help. As long as I can please the princess, I will do the hard work without complaint."
At this point, his eyes were tired and full of sadness, which was really heartbreaking.
"I never thought that after working so hard from morning till night, the princess not only refused to forgive me, but also used medicine to cripple my arms!"
Taking into account that Gao Jing was not good at strategy, Ning Yunxi deliberately combined the facts when designing it, made some slight changes, and then had him narrate it in detail.
Otherwise, Yan Yu was smart and suspicious, and he would have sensed something as soon as he heard it.
Fearing that Gao Jing might be careless and reveal a flaw in his plan, Ning Yunxi added some pitiful words to divert Yan Yu's attention.
Sure enough, Yan Yu didn't suspect anything at all, pretended to be angry and complained.
"Who told you to talk too much? You deserve it."
Gao Jing bowed his head and saluted, his arms were diseased and he looked miserable.
"I respect the princess. I have no ill intentions. I beg you to find a way to save her!"
Yan Yu personally helped him up, put away his anger, and responded seriously.
"Seeing you give up a day's leave just to make her happy, I know how much you respect her. I'll say sorry on her behalf."
Sitting down with him, Yan Yu asked softly.
"Why does your arm feel uncomfortable? Please explain it in detail and I will check it again."
Gao Jing described his condition as he wished.
Yan Yu took out medical tools while listening.
After checking, he came to a conclusion.
"This medicine seems to be made by my little sister. There is no medical book to study it. It is difficult for me to figure out a cure for the moment."
It was as if a storm was raging, and Gao Jing felt helpless and adrift.
"Even the prince can't heal me? Then my arms will be useless from now on, right?"
Yan Yu thought about it for a moment and quickly made a decision.
"I will summon her right away and ask her to bring the antidote."
Gao Jing stopped it in time and spoke with great righteousness.
"It's night time now. Didn't the prince say that the princess's reputation is the most important? Besides, she is angry now. It's a small matter if she doesn't save me. But the prince took the initiative to provoke her. What if he can't appease her?"
Yan Yu nodded in agreement.
"It makes sense."
Gao Jingzhuo looks into the distance, seemingly of high righteousness and great ambition.
"My arms are completely disabled, so I can't practice martial arts, which is not a big deal. What really hurts me is that I can no longer accompany Your Majesty. Please choose another wise man and grant him the title of Prince Dijin's bodyguard!"
Sensing every word, Yan Yu felt lost and couldn't help but feel pity for him, and hurriedly tried to comfort and show concern.
"Don't be discouraged. Lin Mu has been with An Song for many years, and his knowledge of herbs is comparable to that of my little sister. He may have a way to help you develop an antidote."
He raised his voice a little and gave instructions to the person on duty outside the door.
"Come here, Yu has ordered Lin Mu to come here immediately!"
Gao Jing chuckled with triumph.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Lin Mu's parents knew where their son was hiding, so they naturally told him after receiving the imperial edict.
Nothing happened recently, but he received an urgent summons from the Emperor late at night. Lin Mu suddenly realized that this was a strategy that Gao Jing came up with after putting aside his pride and asking the princess for advice.
Even though he had anticipated everything, he could not disobey Yu's order. Lin Mu got on the carriage and rushed to Prince Di Jin's palace, racking his brains for countermeasures all the way.
But the distance was too short and he was always helpless.
Then he made up his mind and thought to himself, forget it, it's just a beating, just take it.
Upon hearing that Lin Mu had arrived at Prince Di Jin's mansion, Gao Jing quietly took the antidote and waited for his arms to recover.
As soon as Gao Jing saw Lin Mu coming in, he rushed forward with great momentum and subdued him with one move.
"Hahaha, you fell into my trap!"
When Yan Yu heard this, his heart was shocked.
This is actually a trick?!
The character setting is not right. When did Gao Jing become so smart?
Could it be that he has always been very smart, just like Ning Aiqing, who has been hiding his cleverness and being simple-minded for many years?
My three views are shattered...
Just as Lin Mu was about to get scared, he saw Gao Jing's limbs go limp and he fell heavily to the ground.
Gao Jing cried out in pain.
"Ah! It hurts..."
Lin Mu had no time to react and was stunned.
"Master Gao, you..."
Gao Jing tried to get up, but his whole body was weak and he couldn't move at all. He was filled with fear.
"What's wrong with me? Did I take the wrong medicine? That's impossible."
He frowned and thought deeply, then suddenly understood.
"I know! Princess Yuexi did it on purpose!"
"Where do you get all these tricks? If you hurt someone without reason, you will be punished!"
Now, Yan Yu understood, put away her surprise, and sat back on the throne.
Lin Mu was secretly surprised, and then he made some guesses.
"It seems that Mr. Gao is slandering the princess?"
When he revealed the truth, Gao Jing became flustered, feeling guilty and angry.
"Don't talk nonsense in front of the prince. What evidence do you have?"
Lin Mu smiled faintly and said jokingly.
"How about I go and ask the princess a question?"
Gao Jing became even more angry and embarrassed.
"Who asked you to go? Your Majesty is here, how can you allow me to act on my own?"
Lin Mu ignored him, walked up to Yan Yu and bowed solemnly.
"I dare to ask you, Your Majesty, what are your instructions for you? I will do my best."
Yan Yu felt relieved and smiled leisurely.
"It's okay, you can go back home."
Gao Jing didn't care about his face and cried for help.
"Your Majesty, you can't just ignore your subordinates..."
Seeing him like this, Yan Yu couldn't bear it and turned to signal Lin Mu.
"Go and see if there is any way to treat it?"
Lin Mu responded.
"Yes."
He walked slowly back to Gao Jing's side, felt his pulse carefully, and then made a serious statement.
"Reporting to the prince, Lord Gao's condition is caused by anger. If the anger subsides, there will be a solution; otherwise, there is no cure."
As soon as he heard An's anger subside, he knew what An was thinking, and Gao Jing was very unwilling.
"Your diagnosis was wrong. How dare you lie to His Majesty?"
Lin Mu didn't give in at all and quickly took his leave.
"I am not a good doctor, so I beg Your Majesty to seek another doctor."
Yan Yu understood and cooperated.
"Then summon Lord An. As the head of the Imperial Hospital, he will surely be able to cure Gao Jing."
Gao Jing wailed, his face was filled with sorrow and he wanted to cry but had no tears.
"Your Majesty, you must not do that!"
"How can I save him if my mind is different? Even if he treats me, my arms will never be able to recover..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw the prince's eyes signaling him to do so. He had no choice but to obey.
"I'm sorry, Lord Lin. I'm really sorry. I won't dare to do it again. Please save me!"
Lin Mu agreed readily.
"Mr. Gao has asked for your help, and I dare not refuse."
