Husband, please lend me your virtues

Chapter 74 The Prince’s Salted Fish Wife (5)

Wu Wangjin took a sip of the soup in front of him without changing his expression, bit the bloody ball in his mouth, and fell headfirst onto the table.

Everyone was shocked and frantically checked Wu Wangjin's injuries, and anxiously summoned the imperial physician.

The blood that spurted out when Wu Wangjin bit through the blood bag splashed onto the Third Prince who was standing below him. The Third Prince stared at the scattered bloodstains on his robe and stood there in a daze.

The struggle in the palace was so cruel that not long after he and his elder brother returned to the palace, someone couldn't wait to attack his elder brother. No wonder their father, the emperor, who was the king of a country, wanted to send the two brothers out of the palace to be raised.

The third prince put his trembling hands into Wu Wangjin's nose and found that he was still breathing, so he was still alive. Emperor Zhengde got down from the dragon throne to check on his eldest son.

Concubine Liu, who was sitting on the right hand of Emperor Zhengde, also followed Emperor Zhengde down. Seeing the bloodstains at the corners of her son's mouth and on his outer robe, Concubine Liu threw herself on Wu Wangjin, calling out Wu Wangjin's name mournfully.

Then she knelt on the ground in anger and pulled Emperor Zhengde's sleeve, "Your Majesty, please make the decision between me and Wangjin!"

"In broad daylight, a thief actually poisoned our child right in front of you."

Concubine Liu cried sincerely, worried about Wu Wangjin. "When I saw Wangjin like this, I thought of his three brothers who suddenly closed their eyes in my arms."

"If you close your eyes, you will never wake up again. Your Majesty, Wangjin is the only child between me and you who has grown up to this age. You must save him."

Emperor Zhengde personally helped Concubine Liu up and said, "Concubine, Wangjin is also my son. I will definitely seek justice for Wangjin."

After the imperial physicians arrived, they took turns to feel Wu Wangjin's pulse. They all knelt on the ground trembling, not daring to look directly at the emperor.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. We are incompetent. Your Highness, the traitor has given you a drug that will kill your children."

After the imperial physician finished speaking, he bowed his head to the ground, trembling with fear and waiting for the anger of Emperor Zhengde. After learning such a secret, he only hoped that after today, he would be able to appear in the Imperial Hospital again.

"How dare you! Judge Du, is this also the result of your pulse diagnosis?"

Emperor Zhengde asked this question with gritted teeth. He really couldn't believe that his eldest son, who was doing well outside the palace, was murdered not long after returning to the palace, making it difficult for him to have children.

He has cleared out a large number of people from his harem. Hasn't he caught all these vicious women yet?

The eldest prince who just returned to the palace fell into the trap. What about the crown prince who has been in the palace?

"This old minister and Imperial Doctor Chen have the same diagnosis. Your Majesty, please calm down."

Emperor Zhengde was inarticulate and waved his hand to ask them to check the pulse of the crown prince standing beside him. The imperial physician, who was already worried, became even more nervous.

The prince's pulse has always been the responsibility of Ruan Yuanshi alone. They don't even have the qualifications to ask about it, so it should be fine. Who would be brave enough to ask about the prince who lives in the Qianqing Palace?

When he touched the prince's hand, Judge Du's face turned pale and his heart was dead.

Prince, you have also been infected with this poison!

Court Judge Du looked at his colleagues who were taking the patient's pulse at the back. Only Doctor Chen had a strange look on his face, while the other doctors all felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

Court Judge Du exchanged glances with Doctor Chen, and with his steps as heavy as if he were wearing dozens of kilograms of shackles, he returned to the presence of Emperor Zhengde and knelt down to pay his respects.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has the same poison as the First Prince. The two poisons are exactly the same."

Doctor Chen then said that the pulse he felt was almost the same as what Judge Du said.

Emperor Zhengde drew out the sword of the guard beside him and put it on Judge Du's neck. "Is what you said true?"

Seeing that Doctor Du was still certain of his guess even with a knife on his neck, Emperor Zhengde turned his attention to the doctor behind him.

"Your servants are incompetent and did not find any abnormality in the prince's pulse."

All the imperial doctors who were glanced at by Emperor Zhengde answered in unison, kneeling on the ground, shaking like sieves.

The prince was drugged, and these imperial doctors couldn't tell it. Doesn't that make them look like unskilled doctors and unworthy of the official robes they wear?

"Why not ask Envoy Ruan to come over? Envoy Ruan has always been in charge of the prince's pulse. If the prince was really poisoned, Envoy Ruan should have diagnosed it long ago."

The imperial physician who was speaking was almost pointing at Du Yuanpan and Chen Taiyi's noses and scolding them for their poor medical skills and for misjudging the prince's pulse.

Emperor Zhengde stroked the ring on his thumb, thought for a moment, and ordered the eunuch to invite all the senior doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau.

When Envoy Ruan arrived with the remaining imperial doctors, they saw the eldest prince lying unconscious. They thought that the eldest prince was in poor condition and ignored the gloomy-faced crown prince.

"Your Majesty, may your Majesty be well and safe!"

Kneeling on the ground, he did not hear the Emperor Zhengde's words to excuse him from the ceremony, which was very strange.

His Majesty has always been kind to him, why is he like this today?

Could it be? No, it was impossible. Only he and Mengpin knew about this matter. There was no way a third person would know about it.

Ruan Yuanshi knelt for a long time before Emperor Zhengde let him stand up and ordered him to go over and take the prince's pulse.

After Ruan Yuanshi felt the prince's pulse, he said that he was in good health. Emperor Zhengde then ordered the old doctors who had come to the palace banquet with Ruan Yuanshi to come forward and feel the prince's pulse.

Nearly half of the old doctors looked strange and knelt down.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince's recent diet may be unclean. He may have eaten something by mistake, which has caused the Crown Prince to have some difficulties in having children."

Emperor Zhengde was furious when he heard this and threw the sword in his hand to the ground. The harsh sound of the sword hitting the ground made all the concubines, princes and others present shudder.

"Ridiculous! Come, take Envoy Ruan away and torture him severely to make the mastermind confess."

When the prince was young, there were several imperial physicians who were in charge of his pulse. As the prince grew older, he had complete trust in Ruan Yuanshi and only let Ruan Yuanshi be in charge of the prince's pulse.

Many doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau were able to detect that there was something wrong with the prince's pulse, and Emperor Zhengde did not believe that Ruan Yuanshi, the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau, could not figure it out.

Just as Ruan Yuanshi was being dragged away, the unconscious Wu Wangjin woke up after being given acupuncture by the imperial physician.

When Wu Wangjin heard that Ruan Yuanshi was exposed and dragged out for interrogation, the corners of his mouth curled up.

Wu Wangjin has a medicine in his hands that can exaggerate one's own weakness, or make the pulse of an existing illness appear to be more serious when the doctor diagnoses the pulse.

This medicine has no harm to the body, and Wu Wangjin had already taken it in order to make Emperor Zhengde pay attention to this matter.

When he and Xie Zijin were out for an outing, they happened to save an old man whose family had been practicing medicine for generations.

The old man was a strange person and was not nice to him, but he was very fond of Zijin.

Whenever Xie Zijin spoke to him, Kong You, who claimed to be a traveling doctor from Taiyuan, would soften his expression and treat her like his own granddaughter.

This medicine was also invented by the eccentric Xie Zijin at the request of Mr. Kong, because she didn't want to study with him or attend the banquet with Mrs. Xie.

There are two reasons why he wants to make it difficult for himself to have offspring in the future. The first is that the Yan Dynasty is different from the modern times where he lives, and is more harsh on women.
