Chapter 423: Powerless
The prince's body shook. His legitimate son, who he had high hopes for, had grown up to this age and was about to turn twenty, but he was going to die soon?
Why did he let him go to the battlefield to kill enemies on weekdays?
Of course, it was to train him well.
In his heart, although he loved his eldest son, the position of the legitimate son in his heart was different.
He could promise to ask for a title for his eldest son and give him endless money, but his Black Armor Army was never allowed to be touched by his eldest son.
He knew in his heart that the Black Armor Army was the foundation of everything.
So he detained Xiao Yu in the barracks every day, so that he could smoothly control this army in the future.
If the legitimate son who had been trained for twenty years died, who would inherit his Black Armor Army in the future? Who would be in charge of Donghai County?
The eldest son was not the material to lead the army!
The prince seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. Looking at the dark night outside, his heart sank.
In just a moment, he turned around and ordered his followers, "Go, find all the doctors in Ping'an City for me!"
The followers took the order and walked out quickly.
The prince returned to Xiao Yu's bedroom.
The medicine had been given, and Xiao Yu was still lying on the bed without a sound.
The prince's eyes fell on the princess. She had her hair loose, and when he looked down, he saw that she was barefoot.
The prince felt a pain in his heart.
He also liked the princess.
Although he married her for the military power held by Duke Qin, she was such a simple and kind girl when she married him. How could he not like her?
The prince walked over and held the princess's shoulders, "You go and rest first, I'm here."
The princess shook her head gently, "I won't go, I'll stay here with Yu'er."
The prince sighed, "Don't worry, I've asked people to invite all the doctors in Ping'an City, there will always be someone who can save Yu'er."
The princess looked at Xiao Yu like a fool. She just secretly touched Yu'er's pulse, and it was so weak that she could hardly feel it.
Nanny Xu came over and lowered her head, "Princess, I'll put on your shoes for you."
The maid had just discovered that the princess was only wearing one shoe, and she had already brought another pair of shoes.
The maid knelt on the ground and put on the shoes for the princess.
The princess suddenly stood up and said, "I lost my mind. I should have gone to the Great Compassion Temple to find Master Yin. He must have a way to save Yu'er."
She knew very well that the poisons of the red thorn, peacock gall, and blood-stoking were mixed together. It took another five or six hours before she took the antidote. Moreover, she didn't know if there were other poisons. She was afraid that no matter what miracle doctor came, Yu'er couldn't be saved.
When human power cannot achieve something, people can only hope in the gods.
The prince sighed, "You don't have to go. I'll send someone to go quickly and invite Master Le Yin to come."
The princess shook her head, "I have to go. I have to ask the Buddha and the Bodhisattva to bless my Yu'er."
The prince looked at her helplessly, "If you go, who will take care of Yu'er?"
"Don't worry, I've sent someone to burn incense in the Buddhist temple."
The princess shuddered, "Yes, I can't go. I have to stay with Yu'er."
The prince walked out and told his followers, "Go to the Great Compassion Temple and invite Master Le Yin. If he asks, tell him the truth about the prince."
The followers agreed and ran away quickly.
Not long after, the doctors arrived one after another.
One by one, they lined up to take Xiao Yu's pulse. After taking the pulse, they all said, "Please forgive me for my poor medical skills and my inability to help."
