Chapter 690: Cuscuta Cousin 53
"Madam, the prince." The secret guard heard Sheng Huan's words, but his voice was still heavy. He spoke the truth with difficulty: "Our doctor in the army said that the prince...has been poisoned to the lungs, and the situation is...not optimistic."
Sheng Huan's face turned pale, his body shook, and he grabbed the table fiercely: "No, it won't!"
As she shook her head violently, she quickly ran to the dressing mirror and then found a box.
She held the box tightly as if she was holding some treasure.
"This medicine may be useful!"
"No." Her eyes were red and she nodded firmly: "It will definitely work!"
The secret guard knew the source of the medicine and was silent for a while. Perhaps everyone thought that Sheng Huan was desperate and was trying any possible means to cure his illness.
"lady……"
Furong hurried forward to support Sheng Huan. Seeing her wife's expression, she didn't dare to say anything at this moment. Most of those quacks were liars. And the one they met before, although he seemed to be the case, Furong just felt that he was not credible.
Sheng Huan didn't say anything. She looked determined and seemed to be holding on. But in fact, she had already heard the news from Pu Hua.
Xiao Ye Ze was ambushed this time, but before the poison took effect, he inflicted a severe defeat on the enemy.
But because he forced himself to fight, the poison surged violently, even more serious than every time before. Fortunately, the people around him were all his confidants, and now no one in the outside world knew that he was in a coma.
But obviously, if he remained unconscious, this matter would be exposed sooner or later. By then, there would be internal and external troubles, and it would not be optimistic.
[Host, it seems that Xiao Ye Ze is really in danger right now.] 458 suddenly spoke.
Sheng Huan didn't say anything. She lowered her eyes to look at the medicine in her hand. This medicine was indeed a medicine, but it was also a cover-up and would not have much effect. And the person Xiao Ye Ze needed now... In other words, she should be the one to detoxify.
When Sheng Huan thought of this, he had made up his mind.
"Xiao Yi."
She said each word with a firm voice: "We are going to the frontier."
Xiao Yi was stunned: "Madam, the prince..."
Sheng Huan didn't wait for him to refuse, and directly took out the token in his arms, with a resolute voice: "Let's go to the border!"
Xiao Yi looked at the token, then at Sheng Huan. Finally, he kowtowed in submission: "I obey your command."
"Ying'er, no!"
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a voice came from outside the house.
Sheng Huan looked up and saw the wife of Duke Xiao.
The wife of Duke Xiao also looked bad, and it was obvious that she had known something, her eyes were red and swollen.
"You can't go."
Madam Xiao originally wanted to come over to comfort Sheng Huan, but when she arrived, she heard what she said and walked over quickly to hold her shoulders:
"The border is too far away, and the journey is very dangerous. If something happens to you, how will mother explain to Ye Ze?"
When his son left the mansion, he obviously couldn't let go of his daughter-in-law. They had just been married for a short time, and Madam Xiao couldn't let Sheng Huan be in danger. She had to take good care of her daughter-in-law for her son.
She looked at the box in Sheng Huan's hand: "If this medicine is useful, you can ask someone else to deliver it."
Although she said so, Madam Xiao Guogong felt heavy in her heart. Because she knew that her son's body had been eroded by the poison, just as Doctor Hao said... there was no cure.
The Taoist priest that her daughter-in-law met... She didn't dare to provoke her daughter-in-law at this moment and said that the Taoist priest couldn't be trusted.
"Mother." Sheng Huan heard this, but turned around and solemnly held the hand of Madam Xiao Guogong: "The old Taoist I told you about last time not only gave me medicine."
She seemed to have thought of something, her eyes were dazed: "When I left, he whispered to me. The vitality of this medicine was fed to people by me personally."
"Mother, although it's ridiculous, I dare not gamble." The woman's almond-shaped eyes were misty, and she looked directly into the eyes of Duke Xiao's wife. She was so gentle on weekdays, but now she had an inexplicable stubbornness: "Besides, my husband needs me."
Lady Xiao was shocked by this look. Her lips slightly opened, but she could no longer utter a word of refusal.
-
In order to conceal his whereabouts, Sheng Huan rode in a horse-drawn carriage before leaving Beijing.
Duke Xiao and his wife watched the carriage leave from afar, feeling mixed emotions.
Madam Xiao looked up at the sky and pushed back her tears: "Master, do you think...will it be okay?"
Duke Xiao didn't know this and felt desolate at heart. He held his wife's shoulders.
"If it's really not..." He paused, his lips slightly pursed, and he said with difficulty: "Ye Ze will be very happy to see her."
When Lady Xiao heard this, she could no longer control the tears in her eyes and they fell.
-
Suburbs of Beijing.
Sheng Huan had no idea what had happened to Lady Xiao and the others at this moment.
Anyway, as soon as the carriage arrived at the outskirts of the capital, secret guards led out a few fine horses.
"Ma'am, the horses are coming."
Xiao Yi was very worried about Sheng Huan's skills and was afraid that she would get hurt.
After all, his wife had never learned to ride a horse before. The first time she rode a horse was when his own son taught her during the wedding days.
Although the lady knew how to do it, she was obviously not very skilled. What's more, she had to run such a long distance, which was difficult for her to cope with.
Sheng Huan nodded. She pulled the reins and patted the horse's head soothingly.
"Xuefeng, I'm counting on you along the way."
This horse was the one Xiao Ye Ze gave her.
"Wheesh!" Xuefeng made a sound, as if in response.
"Be good." A smile finally appeared on Sheng Huan's tense face.
The next moment, she stepped onto the saddle and mounted the horse.
Seeing this, the other secret guards immediately mounted their horses.
"drive!"
The horse galloped.
Xiao Yi and several secret guards were worried at first, but when they saw that Sheng Huan's movements were becoming more and more skillful, and even faster, they all felt relieved.
Along the way, Sheng Huan and his group had to sleep in the open air and did not dare to rest at all.
The journey, which originally took half a month, was shortened by half.
Sheng Huan never complained about the hardship and never stopped, and he looked very energetic the whole time.
Xiao Yi and his companions admired him more and more.
After all, this journey was almost too much for those of them who were strong and healthy. Madam is truly a heroine.
But in the end, they were more worried about their wives' health.
-
Military camp, main tent.
When Mo Tian saw Sheng Huan dressed as a doctor, his droopy and heavy expression disappeared and he widened his eyes in shock.
"husband……"
He quickly bowed and said, "I greet the Madam, the Crown Prince."
Sheng Huan waved her hand quickly: "I brought the medicine. Take me to see my husband."
As soon as Sheng Huan came in, he saw a man with a pale face lying on the bed.
He had handsome features, but his usual smile was completely gone, and he was dying. If it weren't for the rise and fall of his chest, one would have thought he had died long ago.
"Husband!" The woman's eyes turned red, and she almost rushed over and threw herself on the bed.
She was almost trembling as she took out the box from her arms, opened it quickly, and fed it directly into Xiao Ye Ze's mouth.
At the same time, when silently taking the patient's pulse, Sheng Huan frowned slightly. He didn't expect that the situation was already so dangerous.
If she doesn't come...I'm afraid...
Sheng Huan thought about this and saw that his situation was too dangerous, so he directly sent a large amount of spiritual energy to him.
Mo Tian stood aside, still in a daze, when he saw Sheng Huan feeding medicine to his own prince.
It was impossible for him to stop it, but he did not stop it either. Hope rose in his heart. The lady came from the capital, and there must be a reason for her to do this.
"Mo Tian, go get some water."
Sheng Huan grabbed Xiao Ye Ze's hand with one hand and touched his face with the other hand. He looked at the man's dry lips and spoke directly.
"Yes." Mo Tian quickly turned around to pour water.
When he turned around, Sheng Huan's fingertips landed on the man's lips. No one saw it, a drop of blood fell and disappeared without a trace.
Xiao Ye Ze's complexion and pulse were much better.
"Madam, water." After pouring the water, Mo Tian also walked over quickly.
Sheng Huan took the water, dipped the handkerchief in it and touched the man's lips.
"How dare you! I am the military supervisor sent by the Emperor! General Xiao has not come out these days, nor has he seen me. What is he doing behind my back? When my memorial is delivered to the Emperor, I will punish him for his disrespect!"
"Step aside!"
Outside the main tent, at this moment, an arrogant voice suddenly rang out.
