“Li Hua saved Prince Lóng Wei!” Zhu Liling was astonished to hear the eunuch.

“Yes, Your Majesty. As per your orders, Physician Peng wasn’t ready to cure the Crown Prince despite knowing the acupuncture. However, to everyone’s surprise, Princess Consort Li Hua stepped forward and appealed to His Majesty to allow her to treat the Sixth Prince,” Eunuch Lianying narrated the Queen, who clutched her hands on the bolster.

“Your Majesty, Li Hua seemed to be smarter than we all had perceived her to be. It was such a wonderful moment to kill Prince Lóng Wei. Now, he will recover soon,” Virtuous Consort Ruoxi said, and looked at Xiuying.

“He can be poisoned. After a long time, we finally got an opportunity to throw Prince Lóng Wei out of this world,” Noble Consort Xiuying advised the Queen. Zhu Liling hummed and decided to go with that.

“Eunuch Lianying, tell Peng Yuxian to poison the Sixth Prince during the treatment and put the blame on Li Hua,” Zhu Liling ordered Eunuch Lianying.

“Pardon me, Your Majesty. That’s not possible because the Crown Prince removed Physician Peng at the request of the Princess Consort. It is even tough to enter the chamber, where Prince Lóng Wei’s treatment is going on,” Eunuch Lianying affirmed.

Xiuying got the chance to humiliate Zhu Liling. “Her Majesty’s son is going off limits these days. He does not listen to her anymore,” Xiuying stated, and put her hand on her headpiece. She adjusted the jewel and continued, “The Crown Prince’s feelings for Li Hua aren’t hidden anymore. Your Majesty, do something before the Crown Prince takes a step which will put your head down in shame.”

Xiuying left no stone unturned to humiliate Zhu Liling. She sharply glanced at her. “Noble Consort Xiuying should know her place,” the Queen sternly said.

.....

“Forgive me, Your Majesty. I didn’t intend to hurt you. I found out that the Crown Prince is attracted to that dancer. He went to see her yesterday and then got attacked. The two-week period will soon be over. What if the Crown Prince brings that dancer in as his wife?” Xiuying proclaimed and curled her lips into a smirk.

“Noble Consort Xiuying said enough. She should look at her son before pointing her finger at my son. I won’t tolerate it if she says another word,” Zhu Liling said again, raising her voice.Xiaoming would never marry Liu Jin Yu. He also knew what was best for him.

“I have faith in my son. He will marry the woman of his status,” Zhu Liling affirmed.

“I also pray for the same, Your Majesty. However, as your well-wisher, I want you to keep a close check on your son’s activities. He even kicked out Eunuch Lishi from his service,” Xiuying stated.

Rouxi agreed with her words and said, “After Liu Jin Yu and the Crown Prince met, he started to act weird. He doesn’t respect his mother’s decisions.” Xiuying and Ruoxi continued to fill the ears of the Queen.

Li Hua wiped her fingers with the clean cloth and put it aside. It must be uncomfortable for Lóng Wei to lie on her back, but she could not do anything about it. She placed her hand above his and caressed it. “Forgive me,” she managed to speak.

“Li Hua, why don’t you eat something? You need energy as well,” Xu Zifan told her. “His Highness will wake up soon,” he said.

“I will take food after His Highness wakes up,” Li Hua said.

“Brother Lóng Wei will not like it if his wife stays hungry because of him,” Mingquan stated.

“I won’t be able to eat,” Li Hua answered, and sniffled. Her eyes had turned teary once again. She was so scared when she found out that Lóng Wei had been shot with a deadly poisonous arrow.

Mingquan gestured to Xu Zifan to take his seat back.

Li Hua stood up and went towards the left end of the room where she was preparing the potion for Lóng Wei that would further help in removing the remaining toxins from the body. She put off the fire when the potion was prepared and put it in a porcelain bowl.

“Sister-in-law, how did you find out that Physician Peng is suspicious?” Mingquan asked her out of the blue. Li Hua took her seat near the bed and put the bowl on the small circular table beside the bed.

“He lied about removing the poison. When I studied His Highness’ pulse, I found out that the poison hadn’t spread to many parts of the body. Physician Peng wanted to kill His Highness,” Li Hua affirmed.

“I will tell you about it to my Royal Father,” Mingquan stated.

“Not now. Physician Peng may say that I lied since I am not a medical practitioner, unlike him,” she opined. “I still have limited knowledge of medicine. So not many will believe me,” she stated.

Mingquan hummed. “The Sister-in-law is smart,” he complimented her. “Brother Lóng Wei is blessed to have you,” he said.

“It is the opposite, Fourth Brother,” Li Hua pronounced. “His Highness became a blessing for me. I had never seen a man who would endanger his life for his wife.” She picked up the bowl as the potion had cooled down. She blew air over the spoon to cool the potion down and brought it near Lóng Wei’s lips. She made him drink it and then wiped his lips gently with the cloth.

“Feng Lao’s father hasn’t given the name till now. It’s a shame he’s still not sorry for what he did. Prince Lóng Wei should have let him die,” Xu Zifan stated.

“Brother Lóng Wei wanted him to be alive because he’s the only person who knows the real enemy,” Mingquan said. Shui Xiaoqing was an important person in reaching the person who was hidden in the palace.
