Chapter 296 Rules
a year?
Upon hearing Physician Feng's words, Prince Chen's heart sank, yet he remained unwilling to give up.
"Divine Physician Feng, no matter the cost, I must find these three medicinal herbs. Please tell me, where can I find traces of the thousand-year-old ginseng, the ice spirit snow lotus, and the purple blood spirit mushroom?"
The divine physician Feng glanced at him, stroked his beard, and said with a complicated expression:
"Millennial ginseng often grows in deep mountains and forests, especially in places shrouded in mist and rarely visited by people, where one may find ginseng of sufficient age."
The Ice Spirit Snow Lotus grows in extremely cold places, on the peaks of snow-capped mountains, in harsh environments that are difficult for ordinary people to approach.
As for the Purple Blood Ganoderma, legend has it that it grows on a mysterious island in the South China Sea, surrounded by numerous dangers, and guarded by exceptionally ferocious poisonous creatures.
Prince Chen had never even heard of some of these places, but he still said:
“No matter how difficult it is, I will definitely give it a try. Mingwei, immediately select a few of the most experienced guards from the palace, and divide them into three groups to search for these three medicinal herbs.”
Old Feng was surprised that a prince would care so much about an ordinary subject, and a hint of inquiry appeared in his eyes.
He had traveled all over the world, and suddenly his eyes widened as something came to mind.
Knowing it was inappropriate to say this at this moment, he couldn't help but blurt out, "Your Highness is so concerned about this Lord Su, could it be that you have something going on with him...?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Wan choked on her saliva and started coughing.
It's true that you can't judge a book by its cover; Old Feng is so old, yet he still knows these things.
Prince Chen didn't react for a moment, and only after meeting the old man Feng's undisguised shock did he belatedly realize what was happening.
His face instantly turned bright red, and he immediately covered his mouth and coughed, "Cough cough cough—"
Mingwei immediately supported Prince Chen with concern, "Your Highness, are you alright?"
Prince Chen coughed for a while before stopping, then shook his head and smiled, "It's nothing."
He then looked at Old Man Feng and said seriously, "Dr. Feng, you have misunderstood."
"Su Mu came from a humble background, but he became the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review through his own abilities. The officialdom of Dazhao was corrupt and chaotic, with almost all officials sacrificing the lives of innocent people for their own benefit. Only Minister Su Mu, who served as the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review for two years, was honest and upright, and upheld justice for the wronged people. There are very few good officials like him in the entire Dazhao."
"It's such a pity that such a good official died like this."
After hearing Prince Chen's words, Old Man Feng remained silent for a moment, then sighed, "It is indeed a pity."
Everyone was startled.
Yu Wan couldn't help but say, "Old Feng, you..."
Old Man Feng's gaze fell on Su Muqing's purple lips. "Those three flavors are all legends. Do you really think you can find them?"
"The poison has already entered his lungs and internal organs. At most, I can only give him three more days to live."
"Let him say goodbye to his family properly, so that he may have some relatives left."
"Thank you so much, doctor..." Su Mu's weak voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears.
Su Mu had woken up at some point; his eyes were slightly open, and he looked like he was about to die.
Seeing this scene, Prince Chen felt his chest filled with rage.
"Su Mu..." He suppressed his anger, trying to keep his tone gentle, "Do you know when you were poisoned? And who poisoned you?"
Su Mu's voice was barely audible, "...Your Highness Prince Chen."
"You need not be angry on my behalf."
"Now is not the time for you to take action. If I die, I die. Do not seek revenge for me."
"Your Highness, I only ask that you take care of my mother and sister and help them live a good life."
Upon hearing these words, Prince Chen's already pale face turned even paler, and Mingwei was extremely worried, fearing that his prince might not be able to hold on.
However, just as he feared, Prince Chen gasped for breath a few times and then fainted after closing his eyes.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Highness Prince Chen!"
Mingwei and Yunshang both reached out to help Prince Chen up, and Yu Wan also showed a look of anxiety on her face.
I never imagined that Prince Chen's weakness was so severe.
She turned around abruptly to look at Old Man Feng. Before Yu Wan could speak, Old Man Feng raised his chin and gestured, "Help the Prince into the inner room, I'll take a look at him."
Yu Wan and Yun Shang were both somewhat surprised.
Old Man Feng's rule is not to treat the powerful and wealthy. When Yun Shang's illness was almost cured, he asked Old Man Feng to take a look at Prince Chen, but Old Man Feng refused without hesitation.
When Old Man Feng looked up and saw the shocked look in Shang Yuwan's eyes, he turned his head and snorted, whether he was talking to himself or deliberately saying it to them was unclear.
“I will not save those corrupt officials who hold their positions without doing their jobs. This prince looks alright, so I’ll reluctantly give him a look.”
As he spoke, he approached the house, and after the guards carried Prince Chen inside, he slammed the door shut.
"Stay outside and don't come in and bother me."
Mingwei was so anxious that he tried to push the door open, "No! You can't be alone with the Prince..."
Yun Shang called out to him, "Guard Ming, don't worry, Physician Feng won't harm the Prince."
Upon hearing Yun Shang's words, Ming Wei, though still keeping his eyes fixed on the closed door, ultimately did not rush in.
"elder brother--"
As the word "brother" was uttered, everyone turned to look and saw Su Qingchan running towards them anxiously.
It was Yu Wan who sent someone to the Su residence to deliver the message.
When Su Qingchan saw Su Mu lying on the stretcher, she rushed over and cried uncontrollably, "Brother!"
Su Mu struggled to raise his hand and gently stroked Su Qingchan's head. "Qingchan, don't cry. You won't look pretty if you cry."
Su Qingchan held Su Mu's hand tightly, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
"Brother, I won't cry. You have to get better. I can't live without you..."
"Father is gone, Mother is sick, if something happens to my brother too..."
Her voice trembled with despair.
"Brother can't get hurt..." Su Qingchan suddenly stood up, knelt down in front of Yu Wan, Yun Shang and the others, and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Please, please save my brother! I'm willing to do anything to repay you!"
Seeing that her forehead was bleeding from banging her head against the ground, Yu Wan quickly pulled her back, stopping her from continuing to kowtow. "Miss Su, we all want to save Lord Su, but even Physician Feng can't cure the poison he's been afflicted with..."
Upon hearing Yu Wan's words, Su Qingchan froze as if struck by lightning.
"Qingchan, it's alright, don't cry." Su Mu raised his hand and touched Su Qingchan, a smile appearing on his bluish-purple lips. "Brother will go home with you later."
After saying this, Su Mu looked at Yun Shang and said to him, "Lord Yun, may I have a word with you alone?"
Seeing that Su Mu was so weak, yet still had something to say, Yun Shang knew that this matter must be important, so he naturally did not refuse and nodded slightly.
Yu Wan helped Su Qingchan up and led everyone else out, leaving only Su Mu and Yun Shang inside.
The room was so quiet that only Su Mu's faint breathing could be heard. Su Mu's voice was soft, but enough for Yun Shang to hear clearly, "Brother Yun, the poison in my body must have been applied to those whips..."
