Chapter 66: All in Worries

Translator: Claire.KK

“Xin’er!” Emperor Shang saw his daughter, who was lively as a tiger in the afternoon, leaning on General Leng’s chest with the corner of her lips bleeding as soon as he walked into the palace.

Emperor Shang came close to Crown Prince quickly. He seemed to see the picture when his empress past away. At this time Emperor Shang felt that his alienation from his daughter for years which he thought could be good for her would be useless if something bad really happened to her.

“Where is the imperial physician?” Emperor Shang shouted to all the officers at court.

“Crown Prince!” Leng Yufeng had ever dreamed that he could hug Crown Prince like this someday, but he had never expected it could happen under such circumstances. The freezing temperature of Crown Prince in his arms hurt his heart. He didn’t find that his hands holding Crown Prince were shaking ceaselessly.

Huan Moche stood beside Leng Yufeng and looked at Crown Prince, with his amorous eyes full of fears and in eclipse. He kept beating himself up. Why? Why did he let Crown Prince get hurt in front of his eyes?

Nangong Qian stood there and looked at the young boy, who was standing by his side with harsh words and grim laugh just now, but now it seemed that he was lying there without breathing. Nangong Qian felt uncomfortable, which was the feeling that he had never had before. He just didn’t like to see such a Prince Shang.

The imperial physician trotted to the audience hall with his medical kit. Leng Yufeng pulled the imperial physician aside immediately and said eagerly “Be quick!” He could feel that the temperature of the Crown Prince in his arms was lower and lower, being so afraid that Crown Prince would die accidentally due to his carelessness.

The imperial physician took Crown Prince’s pulse in the sight of many big shots. However, the longer the time went on, the more the cold sweat broke out on his head.

Emperor Shang was the first one who couldn’t wait any longer. He pulled up the imperial physician and said with his voice full of care to his daughter “Tell me! Is there anything wrong with Crown Prince? If any, I will have all of you buried with him! ” He was not kidding. If something really happened to his daughter, he couldn’t support any longer, let alone the imperial hospital.

All the officers at court had their face changed after hearing Emperor Shang’s words. Now they realized how much Emperor Shang treasured Crown Prince. And several princes of Shang State turned pale privately. They ever thought that their father didn’t like Crown Prince. Now they knew they had been wrong. Beyond their expectation, Crown Prince was the favorite son of their father. They couldn’t let Crown Prince live any longer!

“Your Majesty!” The imperial physician was so frightened that he knocked over the medicine kit at hand “Crown Prince is poisoned. I am not able to save him! ” Even though he was really scared and willing to treat Crown Prince, he couldn’t make it with his medical skill, so did the others in the imperial hospital, as he was the best among them.

Emperor Shang looked at his daughter lying there with his red eyes. At this moment, Nangong Qian tried to come to pick up Prince Shang, but stopped by Huan Moche. He looked at Nangong Qian warily and wondered what this guy wanted to do.

Nangong Qian just wanted to take Prince Shang to Nangong State to see the doctor. After all, there were a lot of doctors with good skill in Nangong State. However, he suddenly woke up when he was stopped by Huan Moche. What was he doing just now? Why did he care about other people except his sister? Was that because he was the one who had saved his sister? Yes, he still owed Prince Shang a debt of gratitude, so Prince Shang couldn’t die.

“Let’s look for a highly-skilled doctor!” Huan Moche became calm firstly. He thought of Ye Yizhe, the highly-skilled doctor who gave Crown Prince a carriage, even though he was strongly dissatisfied with Ye Yizhe’s action at that moment. Now he had to be glad that Crown Prince was familiar with this highly-skilled doctor.

“Look for Ye Yizhe!” It was the first shouting of the gentleman Huan Moche.

Ye Yizhe always appeared and disappeared mysteriously, but he was able to bring the dying back to life. However, his temper was too wired to save lives easily. Many dignitaries were dying in front of him, and he chose to do nothing. While, he had never failed as long as he did.

Everybody knew that only the highly-skilled doctor Ye Yizhe could save Crown Prince at this point. But where was this highly-skilled doctor? Many people even had never seen this mysterious doctor, let alone looking for him.

Nangong Lian looked at Prince Shang lying there with worries filled in her heart. She also knew Ye Yizhe. Her brother had looked for help from him for the scar on her face but failed. Would he do Crown Prince a favor now?

“Find him!” Leng Yufeng picked Crown Prince up and tried to run out, leaving only the two words “find him!”

When everyone felt hopeless, Eunuch Xu ran into the palace “Your Majesty!” said he with excitement “The doctor is in the Mansion of Crown Prince now. He is waiting for curing Crown Prince!” Everybody was shocked by Eunuch Xu’s voice. Leng Yufeng hastily carried Crown Prince and ran to his mansion immediately.

Huan Moche followed Leng Yufeng and looked at the comatose Crown Prince time and again.

Nangong Qian said to Emperor Shang with a smile “Crown Prince and I are like old friends from the start. Now he is not good. I should come to see him. I beg your pardon for my leave!” He left for the Mansion of Crown Prince with Nangong Lian, who had already been impatient.

Emperor Shang also wanted to see his daughter with them, but he couldn’t leave. Not only was the freedom fettered by the throne but the heart. Nonetheless, Emperor Shang decided not to conceal his love to his daughter from now on. He would stay with her no matter how it turned out.

“Minister Bai!” Emperor Shang hid the worries and anxiousness in his eyes and became a trenchant emperor again, the king of Shang State.

“I am here!” Minister Bai came out and went down with the expression of integrity but full of respect to Emperor Shang.

“Investigate it! Carefully!” Emperor Shang said with a king’s rage, “I want to see who dared to persecute Crown Prince in this imperial palace! I am not dead yet. Crown Prince can’t be poisoned by you! ”

Emperor Shang glanced at his sons and daughters with depression in his heart. They really couldn’t tolerate Xin’er. Well, just took it as if he had never had these kids! He loved all of them, but Xin’er was his favorite. They were not at all comparable with her.

“I got you!” Minister Bai knew that emperor was really in anger. The victimizers must be dead, whether they were princes/princess or emperor’s consorts.

Shang Qinmi began to tremble when she looked at his angry father and thought Crown Prince’s sight before he started to drink the poisonous wine. Consort Xin saw her pale and scared daughter, who was about to fall down. She thoughtfully supported her “Mi’er, what’s wrong with you? Don’t scare mom! ”

Consort Xin was laughed at by every consorts in the imperial palace. The amputated finger made her shamed. She must have killed Crown Prince if her son hadn’t asked her to be tolerant.

“No, pls don’t say anything about it, mom. I am OK!” Shang Qinmi said with her head lower.

Different from the flurry in the imperial palace, the people outside were extremely aghast.

Leng Yufeng carried Crown Prince and ran to the Mansion of Crown Prince desperately. Huan Moche, Nangong Qian and Nangong Lian followed them. When Leng Yufeng felt he should run faster and faster, his hand was touched by another cold hand.

He thought he was hallucinated. But when he lowered his head, he saw Crown Prince opening his eyes.

“Crown Prince!” Leng Yufeng exclaimed excitedly and stopped his rapid steps. He tightened his arms unceasingly, but he was frightened to hurt Crown Prince. He was looking at Crown Prince as an innocent boy.

The others behind quickly stepped forward to them after hearing Leng Yufeng’s voice. They saw Prince Shang open his eyes. He was still very weak, but his eyes were extremely cold.

“You are holding me too tight!” Shang Wuxin patted Leng Yufeng’s arms again. Was she poisoned? Yes, she was poisoned but not by Shang Qinmi. It was the original poison from her body. She knew that she couldn’t bear it, so she incidentally pretended to be poisoned by Shang Qinmi. By the way, she wanted to show his father how his children treated her, which could cut off the thin family affection in his heart. Therefore, she could get double benefits from it.

Leng Yufeng realized he was so nervous that he held Crown Prince too tight and let him uncomfortable. He slightly adjusted his arms immediately. This was the first time he had picked up others, but he was very gentle, which made Shang Wuxin feel much better.

“Are you OK? Prince Shang.” Nangong Qian asked angrily. After all, this was the first time he had cared about another person so much, but he was cheated by him, which was the thing he hated most. What was more, the feeling was out of control.

Shang Wuxin shook her head out of discomfort, “I will not be so weak if I am OK. It’s true that I am poisoned, but not about to be dead!” She said and glanced at Leng Yufeng. He got her and continued his step to the Mansion of Crown Prince.

Nangong Qian felt a fit of rage in his heart. He stopped and didn’t want to go to the Mansion of Crown Prince. Now that Prince Shang would not be dead, it was no necessary to go with them. However, when he saw his sister running to the Mansion of Crown Prince, he persuaded himself that his sister was not safe there he had to go with her.

Leng Yufeng carried Shang Wuxin back to the Mansion of Crown Prince. All the people in the mansion were very surprised and scared, but they became calm quickly as they had experienced a lot with Shang Wuxin. Wu Wei said to Leng Yufeng “General Leng, pls put Crown Prince down. Doctor Ye was already there. ”

Wu Wei and others were quite clear that Crown Prince didn’t like other people entering his bedroom palace, but now they had to let Doctor Ye enter. Wu Wei knew that it would be OK if Crown Prince blamed him, as life was much important than these habits.

Wu Wei and Wu Ju supported Crown Prince to enter into the bedroom, and Doctor Ye was already sitting in the outer room with the little fox squatting on his shoulder. It looked very complacent, but it got off from Doctor Ye’s shoulder rapidly when seeing the weak and insensible Crown Prince and squeaked incessantly.

They stayed around Crown Prince after puting him on the bed.

“Get out!” Ye Yizhe’s voice was soft but indisputable. Neither Wu wei nor Wu Ju moved. However, Ye Yizhe said, “Your prince can’t wait anymore. If you insist, I am not sure if I can save him or not! ”

Wu wei and Wu Ju thought for a while and got out the bedroom. But they gave Ye Yizhe a warning look when they left.

Ye Yizhe looked at Crown Prince lying there. He really had not seen him for a long time! He grew up without any desires, and had no interests in anything. He was envied by others, but he felt very sad. He had no feeling or emotion, as he desired for nothing. However, this Crown Prince was an exception. He was the only color of his life. He must grasped it.

Ye Yizhe reached Crown Prince and tried to take his pulse, but saw the insensible Crown Prince opening his eyes, which were neither as sophisticated as in Fengzhou City nor as confident as in daily life. The eyes were full of killing intent and chilling like a sharp knife or incisive sword.
