Yaoniang felt that something wasn’t right with Jin Wang but she couldn’t tell what exactly it was.

She observed for a long time, only to realize that it was his eyes.

His eyes were red as if he didn’t sleep well last night, but Yaoniang remembered that he seemed to be like this before. He spent the night with her for the last few days, and it wasn’t like he didn’t sleep well.

“Your Highness, are you hurting your eyes?”

This phrase was a local saying that referred to the appearance of inexplicable redness in the eyes. There was also a saying that it was caused by seeing something that shouldn’t be seen, which was a kind of vulgar talk.

After Yaoniang said this, she leaned in closer to take a better look.

The closer she looked the redder it appeared. She couldn’t help but touch his eyes, trying to open them to take an even closer look.

Jin Wang stared at her, feeling that she was getting bolder and bolder. He wanted to reach his hand out to pull her hand down, but her seriousness somehow made him unable to do so.

So he could only let her watch.

After Yaoniang watched it, she made a judgment, “Your Highness, you must be hurting your eyes. Do you want to find a doctor to take a look at it?”

Jin Wang said with a stiff face, “I have seen the doctor, and there is nothing wrong.”

Yaoniang gave an ‘oh’ and nodded.

In the corner, Fucheng watched His Highness coaxing Yaoniang.

Were men all like this? They usually looked awe-inspiring, but when they meet a woman, they would become soft. At this time, Fucheng felt very aggrieved and didn’t want to look on any longer, so he stepped forward and said, “Your Highness, this old servant will go to Doctor Liang’s office to take a look…”

Jin Wang nodded, and Fucheng retreated.

After Fucheng left, there was only Yaoniang and Jin Wang in the East Chamber.

Jin Wang leaned back on the Luohan bed, turning over a file in his hand.

Yaoniang sat to the side, looking at Jin Wang’s rabbit eyes. She couldn’t sit still and said, “No, it must be because you are suffering from excessive internal heat. I’ll have them make some heat-clearing soup for you to drink.” With that, she went out in a hurry and ordered the servants outside to do it.

Ever since the Rongxi Courtyard got a small kitchen, it was much more convenient to do everything. The chefs had very good craftsmanship and Yaoniang felt that she has become more gluttonous lately. She wanted to reduce her appetite to lose weight, but it has not been possible.

In the East Chamber, Jin Wang laid on the Luohan bed closed his eyes and stroked his forehead.

This poison was more difficult to deal with than he thought. The familiar agitation became more and more uncontrollable, and with it came the bloodlust that he only had on the battlefield.

Actually, he knew what Fucheng had in mind but he instinctively didn’t want to do it.

If he had to go against his own will to favour a woman he hated, it’d be better to not sit in his position as a prince. What face would he have in the future? Not to mention going after that supreme position.

As his thoughts flew about, he felt someone approaching him.

At the tip of his nose was a familiar faint fragrance. Jin Wang could tell who it was without opening his eyes.

A few cool but soft fingers pressed against his temples, massaging lightly. Inexplicably, the agitation he had felt subsided a lot, and his nerves that had been tense also eased.

Jin Wang’s breathing gradually calmed down. It was not until he fell asleep that Yaoniang withdrew her hand and covered him with a blanket.

Inside Doctor Liu’s office

“Tell me the truth, if His Highness favours Side Consort Hu will that be able to buy some time?”

Doctor Liu was annoyed by Fucheng pacing around beside him. He waved his hand impatiently to drive him away and said, “Go away, I’m formulating the medicine. Aren’t you done yet? If you have the ability to let His Highness do that, then go ahead. What’s the point of bothering me here?!”

These words made Fucheng choke. He said after a long time, “If you don’t give me any exact words, what am I supposed to do?”

This sparked Doctor Liu’s interest, “Then what are you planning on doing?”

He didn’t know Fucheng for only a day or two. The friendship between the two of them goes way back. All the way back to when Fucheng was still a little eunuch and when he was still working as an imperial physician in the palace.

As for Jin Wang, Doctor Liu has been working for him for over ten years, and he understood his master’s temper very well.

Once he makes a decision, no one could change his mind.

It was obvious that at least Fucheng was not capable of this.

“It doesn’t matter what I plan on doing. You just need to give me the right words.”

Seeing Fucheng’s ridiculous appearance, Doctor Liu was very angry and said, “You think this old man is a god? Able to make people come to life or die? This poison has never been encountered before, and the few things I’d found were from ancient records. Don’t blame this old man for telling you the truth. Don’t waste your time, lest you suffer yourself!”

Once he said this, he changed his tone. “You could ask that Lady Su to persuade His Highness to go find that Side Consort Hu. Her words are probably more effective than yours.”

Doctor Liu spoke those words to mock Fu Cheng, but he actually took it seriously. “Scram,? don’t give me these bad ideas. If I actually do that, His Highness will tear me alive. You haven’t seen that…”

He hit his mouth several times but didn’t continue.

But needless to say, Doctor Liu understood his meaning. In this manor, who didn’t know that Lady Su was at her prime? Otherwise, he wouldn’t tease Fucheng so much.

His only hope didn’t seem to be reliable. There has also been no news from Dark Guard One. Fucheng could only sit there with a sad face. He sighed “Old Liu, you’d better come up with something soon. Recently, His Highness’s temper has been getting weirder and weirder. Every day, people from Zhaohui Hall are getting beaten by the board. If I didn’t try to stop some, who knows how many would die?”

Upon hearing this, Doctor Liu also looked sour. This was the first time he has seen such a horrible poison. In the later period, the attacks would become more and more frequent, and the poisoned person would gradually lose his mind and become mad.

He pondered, “I’ve been testing this medicine these last couple of days. Maybe it could delay this situation. It’s just that one of the ingredients of this medicine…”

Fucheng jumped up all of a sudden. “Speak! You can mention anything under the sky as long as it is not some miracle medicine that is unheard of.”

“It’s not a rare thing, it’s just a bit difficult…”

“It’s the first time I have seen you talk so wishy-washy! Come on, hurry up, the antidote is still in the capital and who knows when we’ll be able to get out hands on it. If something happens to His Highness, Jinzhou’s sky will fall.”

Of course, Doctor Liu understood the seriousness of it. He gritted his teeth and said “I don’t know if this medicine will work. But if we don’t try it, we won’t know whether it works or not. This medicine requires blood from someone that is blood-related to the victim. It doesn’t need too much, just a little bit, but…”

“Is there anything specific about being blood-related?” Fucheng deserved to be where he was today. The hesitation of Doctor Liu was from that phrase.

Now that the words were spoken, Doctor Liu began to speak freely. “You also know how the little princess came. His Highness had been poisoned and only did it with Side Consort Hu that once before conceiving the little princess. That is to say in the little princess’s blood there could be…”

Doctor Liu explained to Fucheng the details of pharmacology until he became dizzy.

“What are you talking about? In other words, you just need to get the blood of the little princess? How much do you need? You have to be accurate. Don’t say anything ambiguous. I understand you are a doctor. If you keep saying that anything is possible, it makes people’s ears sore! The little princess is the only child of His Highness, you can’t mess around.”

Doctor Liu was a geek and was proficient in many branches of pharmacology. He also liked to tinker with weird medicines. Some have succeeded, while others have not. This was also the reason why Fucheng warned him. He feared that he wouldn’t be able to restrain himself and turn back to his old habits.

Doctor Liu was enraged at what he said. “Go go go, who do you think this old man is? I don’t need too much, just a little bit.”

“Then let’s go find Mammy Mu. We can’t let His Highness know about this yet,” said Fucheng with his brows furrowed.

“It’s better to tell him first, this medicine may not be effective.”
