Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince

Chapter 233

233 I need to save my husband

Tianjie scrunched his brows to hear Mingquan. He had no idea what Mingquan knew about him. “My sinful acts?” Tianjie didn’t like the remark made by Mingquan.

“Yes. Brother Lóng Wei is kind enough not to reveal the characteristics of yours to the Royal Father,” Mingquan stated and turned to look at Jingfei.

“A woman understands emotions better than anyone. However, this does not apply to you, Sister Jingfei. That day, it was your fault as well. You all know how Brother Lóng Wei’s mother was! We all grew up in the most pampered way. He didn’t and Sister Jingfei, how could you call another woman a whore? Just because you are the daughter of the Queen, it doesn’t mean you are free to ridicule anyone.”

Mingquan didn’t stop himself from reprimanding Jingfei.

“Calm down, Prince Mingquan,” Huang Xi said, putting his hand on his shoulder. He glanced at Jingfei with disgust.

“First Princess, don’t come to my house and try to impress my mother. I will not marry you. So, it’s better for you not to make any such attempts on me,” Huang Xi said directly. He didn’t want to keep her in the dark. Also, after he heard what Jingfei said about Lóng Wei, he started to hate her.

“Let’s go, Fourth Prince,” Huang Xi said, and they both turned to leave. Ai Fen followed them both as she was concerned about Lóng Wei. Xiaolian decided to go after Ai Fen and quickly walked to her.

“Let’s go together, Second Sister,” Xiaolian told Ai Fen. She nodded, and they both left to see Lóng Wei.

Jingfei’s eyes turned teary when Huang Xi told her not to make any attempts at her marriage with her. She got hurt, and her heart was broken into millions of pieces.

.....

“Brother Tianjie, don’t mind the words of Brother Mingquan,” Zhang Xi said. Tianjie yanked his hand away from his shoulder and walked out in anger.

The King asked Peng Yuxian about Lóng Wei’s condition. Li Hua waited with anticipation for the physician’s reply and tried to take a glance at Lóng Wei. However, because of the curtains, she was unable to take a look at him. Also, until the King allowed her, she could not go ahead.

“He will be fine,” Xiaoming told Li Hua. She tilted her head and she looked into his eyes. Tears rolled down her cheeks, but she quickly wiped them. “Brother Lóng Wei isn’t the type to lose his life, especially after he found a woman whom he loves a lot.”

Li Hua nodded and held her tears back. Her entire body was trembling in fear. She had no idea that, because of her, one day, Lóng Wei would come into danger.

“Your Majesty, I won’t give false hope. But the medicines aren’t responding,” Peng Yuxian said in a low voice. His voice clearly showed that he had lost hope in his treatment. Li Hua wobbled to hear from Peng Yuxian. Xu Zifan stepped up and put his hand on her back to support her and stand straight before withdrawing his hand away.

“What about acupuncture, Physician Peng?” Li Hua intervened.

“Acupuncture can remove the poison, but it has spread to almost every organ. It will be difficult to find the points from where the poison can be taken out since blood flow can become irregular,” Peng Yuxian affirmed.

Li Hua turned to look at the king, whose focus was on his son. “Your Majesty, allow me to treat the Sixth Prince. I know acupuncture,” Li Hua requested.

Monk Yuze smiled and waited for the King to speak.

“What’s the guarantee that you will save him? I don’t know how sharp your acupuncture skills are. When Peng Yuxian has given up-”

Qiu Zedong could not complete his words as Li Hua interjected.

“I need to save my husband, Your Majesty. He is still breathing, and I have trust in my acupuncture skills. I can save him,” Li Hua asserted.

“Your Majesty, let Li Hua do it,” Xu Zifan also requested Qiu Zedong.

“How can I trust the Xu family’s members? Because of them, my son’s life is in danger,” Qiu Zedong pronounced.

Li Hua stepped up and said, “After I save my husband, I will receive whatever punishment His Majesty wants to give me.”

“So, you agree that my son’s condition is because of you?” Qiu Zedong questioned her.

“Yes, Your Majesty,” Li Hua answered. “For that, I will surely take the punishment from His Majesty. But right now, I must save my husband,” Li Hua said. If there was something she was good at, then that was acupuncture, which she had learned from her late father, who was an expert in that.

“Let Li Hua do it, Your Majesty,” Monk Yuze said this time. “Currently, saving the Sixth Prince is indispensable. Each passing second is crucial for Lóng Wei,” he opined.

Qiu Zedong allowed Li Hua to do acupuncture on Lóng Wei. She thanked him and quickly went towards the bed. She asked Peng Yuxian for the acupuncture needles and sat on the bamboo stool.

The curtains were pushed away, and her eyes widened to see Lóng Wei’s face. It had turned pale, and his lips were bluish.

‘No, I can’t fall weak,’ she told herself.

She moved his sleeves up and saw the blood stains on his sleeve. She checked his pulse first which was weak. Once she studied it well, she picked the first acupuncture needle.

She inserted one gently into the fingertip of Lóng Wei’s index finger and then the other into the middle of his forehead. He picked up the third thin needle and inserted it right above his chest.

Lóng Wei coughed up some blood.Li Hua quickly took the cotton cloth piece from Peng Yuxian and wiped the blood from his mouth. She removed the needles quickly and did the same with the other pressure points to remove the poison from his body.

Xiaoming told his father and Monk Yuze to take the seat as the treatment was time-consuming. Qiu Zedong took the seats and continued to stare in Li Hua’s direction.

Li Hua rubbed the portion right below Lóng Wei’s elbow and inserted the needle. She did the same with the other elbow. She recalled how her father told her to keep in mind that the poisoned person should not cough up too much blood as it could be fatal for the person.

Peng Yuxian was astonished to learn that Li Hua was quite an expert in acupuncture needles. It seemed she learned it from some expert who was hard to find in the Kingdom.

Li Hua again checked Lóng Wei’s pulse after two hours of the treatment and found it wasn’t like before. It was much more stable and steadier.

Peng Yuxian looked at the lips of Lóng Wei, which were no longer bluish. He turned and informed the same about the King and the others present. They were delighted to hear that Lóng Wei’s body had detoxed from the poison.
