Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Chapter 148 Not worth it

Pei Yunqing was at the height of his fame, and when Pei Xu returned to Beijing, he was naturally the one to visit on behalf of the emperor.

"Brother Xu, you've suffered so much. It's all my fault. I didn't insist on asking Father to save you. Otherwise, you wouldn't have suffered so much."

Pei Yunqing lowered his head and stood beside Pei Xu's bed.

He seemed to be genuinely guilty, his voice choked with sobs.

Fu'an stood beside him and felt that the Fifth Prince was indeed stronger than the other two. This play was too real.

Pei Xu's face was pale and his lips were dry. He raised his eyes with difficulty and looked at Pei Yunqing, but he couldn't say a word.

At this time, the imperial physician stepped forward.

"Fifth Prince, please don't be too sad. I will first diagnose Prince Su's pulse. Only then can we know the true condition of Prince Su."

The imperial physician came with a mission and didn't want to just watch the show.

After all, if His Majesty asks, and I give a bad answer, I will lose my head.

Pei Yunqing was just putting on an act. After hearing this, he moved away from the bed, but his eyes were still fixed on Pei Xu.

He didn't really care about Pei Xu, but was afraid that he wouldn't die.

His little thoughts were obvious and all fell into Pei Xu's eyes.

But he didn't notice it, instead he pretended to be nervous and looked at the doctor and said, "Doctor Hu, how is Brother Xu doing?"

If Imperial Physician Hu had not been still taking his pulse, he would have wanted to just grab Imperial Physician Hu and shake him.

Doctor Hu withdrew his hand and sighed, "The poison your Highness has been poisoned with is extremely toxic. It's now entirely up to your inner strength to suppress it. I, an old minister, am inexperienced and helpless. If you want a detoxification, I'm afraid I'll have to ask the Director of the Court to help."

Cui Changying, the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau, is over sixty years old and has long wanted to retire and return home, but the emperor refuses to let him go home. Now, the only people who can see him are a few nobles in the palace.

But Pei Xu was poisoned by a venomous snake from the southwest. These imperial doctors had hardly ever been to the southwest and had lived in the imperial city all their lives. The imperial doctors were helpless. If Cui Changying could not cure him, Pei Xu would be dead.

Pei Yunqing lowered his eyes and thought that if Pei Xu died, his life would be much easier.

Even if Gu Jiaorong was really a time traveler, she would not be able to survive without Pei Xu's support, even without his help.

"Doctor Hu, what are you waiting for? Go and get Dr. Cui. Brother Xu is not only a pillar of the country, but also my family. He must not be in any danger."

Pei Yunqing scolded immediately, his eyes red.

Doctor Hu bowed and left with the medicine box, while Pei Yunqing sat down beside Pei Xu's bed.

He grabbed Pei Xu's hand, his eyes wet, like an innocent boy, and his voice choked.

"Brother Xu, don't worry. I will ask Dr. Cui to heal you. You will be fine. I will also report this to my father and ask him to investigate the matter thoroughly. He will definitely find the real culprit behind this."

Pei Yunqing, the mastermind behind the scenes, spoke with certainty and clearly had no guilt at all.

Pei Xu forced a smile, his voice hoarse.

"I thank you in advance, Your Highness. Please rest assured, Your Highness and Your Majesty, and do not worry about me. Fu'an will take good care of me."

Speaking of this, Pei Yunqing took the opportunity to ask: "Brother Xu, why don't I see my sister-in-law? Is she okay? And the child..."

At this point, he paused.

"I'm really looking forward to the birth of Xu Ge's child. Knowing that Xu Ge has an heir, I'm very happy."

A smile appeared on his handsome face, as if he was really happy about it.

But Pei Xu seemed to have no energy to answer his questions. His bony hands rested weakly on his, and it became difficult for him to open his mouth to speak.

Fuan stood up with a worried look on his face.

"Fifth Prince, our concubine is fine, she's just frightened. We asked a doctor to see her, and he said she needs to rest. She can't stand any more pain, otherwise..."

Fu'an glanced at Pei Xu lying on the bed and said nothing more, but Pei Yunqing already understood that Prince Su's Mansion had suffered a serious blow this time.

"Brother Xu, don't be too sad. As long as the person is fine, let your sister-in-law take care of him with peace of mind. If there is anything missing, just tell me. We are brothers, there is no need to be polite with me."

Pei Yunqing smiled slightly and acted like a friendly and respectful brother.

"The emperor gave me a lot of goodies a few days ago. I'll send them back to my sister-in-law to make up for her. Brother Xu, please don't be polite to me. I'm looking forward to becoming your uncle."

Pei Yunqing blocked Pei Xu's words, but Pei Xu actually had no intention of refusing.

He knew that this boy was no ordinary person, so he watched him perform quietly.

As for the things he sent, it is not up to him to decide whether to use them or not.

"Your Highness is so thoughtful. Please treat me well... I must treat you well... Thank you."

Pei Xu spoke with difficulty, his words coming out incoherently. It was obvious that he was really tired.

Pei Yunqing had achieved his goal, so he didn't stay any longer. Doctor Hu was still waiting outside the door for him to meet the emperor and get his reply.

"Brother Xu, don't be polite with me. You should have a good rest and take good care of your body. I will go back first and come to see you tomorrow."

After Pei Yunqing left, Fuan helped Pei Xu sit up.

"Your Highness, why not drink some antidote first? The imperial physician has already seen you today."

Fu'an's tone was full of resentment. In the past, the prince suffered such hardships on the battlefield for the sake of the people of the world, but now it was because of His Majesty's suspicion and the prince's jealousy.

Their prince had shed blood and sweat for such a royal family in the past. It was not worth it!

"No."

Pei Xu uttered two words, his voice became even hoarser. He leaned against the head of the bed, looking weak and powerless.

His reaction just now was not fake, and the snake venom was indeed very powerful.

If he hadn't suppressed it with his internal force, he would have bled from all seven orifices.

Fu'an tactfully poured a glass of water and handed it to Pei Xu.

He took a sip to moisten his throat before speaking, "Your Majesty is suspicious. Just a doctor named Hu is not enough to reassure him. Besides, Pei Yunqing also said he would come again tomorrow. This is definitely not a polite remark."

This father and son will not give up until they see him exhausted.

Fu'an is not stupid, otherwise he would not have stayed with Pei Xu for so long. But he couldn't bear to see the prince being tortured by snake venom.

"Are we going to keep dragging it on like this?"

Fuan clenched his fists, his eyes red. He felt extremely depressed and aggrieved to be suppressed like this. It would be more enjoyable to have a hearty fight on the battlefield.

Pei Xu chuckled, with confidence in his eyes.

"No hurry, now is not the time."

He had already made plans. As long as the emperor's doubts were dispelled and Pei Yunqing relaxed his vigilance, it would be a good time for him to recover.

"Pei Yunqing mentioned Rong'er today. I'm afraid he will attack Rong'er. This person is scheming and has strange methods. If he sends something, accept it and give it to Chu Fenghua. Don't ask Rong'er to cancel it."

Pei Xu had been wondering what was so special about Gu Jiaorong that deserved Pei Yunqing's attention, but he couldn't figure it out.
