Chapter 422: Can't Hold On For Much Longer

It was late at night. Shitou took out the token and asked the city gate to be opened. The carriage went straight to the Qi Wang Mansion.

The carriage went straight into Xiao Yu's yard. Shitou told the servant, "Go and invite Doctor Zhao."

He pointed at another one and said, "The prince has been poisoned. Go to the princess's yard to report first, and then report to the prince."

The servants in the yard all ran. In less than a cup of tea, the princess rushed to Xiao Yu's yard with her hair disheveled.

She rushed into Xiao Yu's bedroom and saw Xiao Yu's face as pale as gold paper, unconscious on the bed, shaking for a while, and Xu Ma behind her quickly supported her.

Madam Xu asked Shitou in a trembling voice, "What happened to the prince?"

Shitou lowered his head and saw the princess with one bare foot. He whispered, "I don't know where an arrow came from. It shot the prince. The arrow was poisonous. The prince has been unconscious since he was shot."

The princess let out a low howl in her throat, "My son——"

Just then, Doctor Zhao and the prince arrived together.

The prince looked at Xiao Yu on the bed with an extremely ugly face. Doctor Zhao sat down on the bed and began to feel his pulse without saying a word.

After a long time, Doctor Zhao loosened his fingers, unwrapped the bandage on Xiao Yu's wound and looked at the wound.

The prince and the princess looked at him together, "How is it?"

Doctor Zhao frowned, "This poison is so overbearing that it has invaded the heart veins."

He couldn't say it, because Xiao Yu's heartbeat was already very weak at this time.

The princess held the prince's hand tightly, "Is it serious?"

Doctor Zhao hesitated for a moment and did not answer directly, "I can't tell what poison the prince has been poisoned with, so it's hard to prescribe the right medicine."

Shitou handed over a silk-wrapped arrowhead, "Doctor Zhao, this is the arrow that shot the prince."

"Earlier in Yunzhou, the doctor said that there was a red thorn on this arrow, and he fed him a bowl of mung bean soup."

Doctor Zhao took it, smelled it first, and then rubbed it with a silver needle, and the silver needle quickly turned black.

Doctor Zhao's face changed drastically, "There is not only red thorn in it, but also peacock gall and strychnos nux vomica! I can only distinguish these types now, and I don't know if there are any other ones in it!"

With these types alone, the prince is doomed to die.

The most powerful of these is the strychnos nux vomica. The prince is still alive at this time, which is a great luck.

The princess's face is pale. With so many poisons, Yu'er must die!

She was already trembling all over and could not stand. The prince supported her and said to Doctor Zhao, "Is there any medicine to detoxify?"

Doctor Zhao hesitated, "Although there are antidotes for the strychnos nux vomica and the red-crowned crane, the prince has been poisoned for too long."

"There is no antidote for the peacock gall."

The prince closed his eyes and said, "Go and boil the medicine first."

Doctor Zhao hurried back to the pharmacy and got the medicine. Madam Xu personally watched and boiled the medicine in the corridor.

The medicine was boiled for half an hour, poured into a bowl, and wrapped with ice cubes. After a while, the medicine was warm enough to be taken.

Madam Xu helped Xiao Yu up, and the princess personally held the medicine bowl and poured it into Xiao Yu's mouth one spoonful at a time.

The medicine was finally swallowed. The prince stood by and watched for a long time, then walked out silently and called Doctor Zhao, "Tell me the truth, is Yu'er still salvageable?"

Doctor Zhao lowered his head and pondered for a moment, "These poisons are too strong, and my medical skills are shallow and I am powerless."

"The prince is only hanging on for a breath, I'm afraid he can only hold on until noon at most--"
