Wishful Things

Chapter 58 The Murderer

"I... I don't want anything..."

Xu Mingyi frowned slightly.

This high fever is obviously not only caused by the cold after falling into the water, but also related to being too frightened.

She took out a pill mixed with chestnut sugar from her purse, and silently handed it to Ah Kui.

Ah Kui took it nervously.

Everything just now was just for show, this pill is the key to success.

She helped the prince who was hot all over to half sit up, and carefully fed the pills.

Although the boy looked very drowsy, he was still conscious, or he still had a strong will to survive, and he swallowed the pill smoothly.

Seeing the complaint, Xu Ming fed him some water.

The boy who was half-sitting supported by Ah Kui seemed to gain some strength, and slowly opened his eyes, his voice was hazy and weak, almost only Xu Mingyi could barely hear it clearly: "Miss Xu...why are you here?"

"It's a court lady."

Xu Mingyi comforted him softly: "His Royal Highness rests at ease and recuperates from his illness, he will definitely recover."

Or he was touched by the girl's overly gentle and soft voice, or he clearly remembered that the person in front of him saved his life when he fell into the water before, and the delirious boy's eyes were filled with tears for a moment.

"Sister Xu, I'm afraid..."

The boy leaned weakly on Ah Kui's body, his voice was extremely weak.

"Sister Xu... Do I really not deserve to live..."

Xu Mingyi felt his heart ache when he heard this, but he could only say in a low voice: "How could it be, His Royal Highness is pure and benevolent, and if he survives a catastrophe, there will be future blessings."

"But...even Father doesn't like me."

The boy choked up with sobs.

"How could it be? There is no father in the world who doesn't like his children..."

Xu Mingyi patiently patted the boy's thin shoulder.

She knew that the child in front of her must be in a coma, but the more it was like this, the more she needed someone to comfort her.

She is not usually a patient person, but perhaps influenced by studying medicine, she always has an extra responsibility in her heart when dealing with patients.

"No……"

The boy closed his eyes in pain, shook his head and said, "...Xiao Ruizi grew up with me, he didn't dare to do that...he was forced, I know..."

Xiao Ruizi?

The eunuch who pushed the prince into the water?

Xu Mingyi's eyebrows twitched.

But the prince said——was Xiao Ruizi forced?

Is this just speculation, or...

Does the prince really know the truth? !

But if you really knew it, why didn't you say it?

Many guesses flashed in Xu Mingyi's mind, the hands on the boy's shoulders tightened slightly, and he looked at Aoi at the same time.

"Aoi, talk..."

Even if the prince's voice is weak, it is impossible for the eunuchs guarding outside the screen to hear clearly, but for the sake of caution——

"..." Ah Kui swallowed nervously.

Even if she knew very little about the prince's falling into the water, she could vaguely feel the seriousness of the matter at this moment...

She forced herself to calm down, and said in a calm voice: "Girl, Your Highness has been talking nonsense all this time. If the high fever doesn't subside today, I'm afraid there will be big trouble!"

This is how she can cooperate with the girl like this because she has read countless books. If it were Ah Zhu, I am afraid that the only way to go at this time is to knock those inner eunuchs unconscious.

Several inner eunuchs spoke in low voices with different expressions.

"Your Highness started to talk vaguely in sleep this morning..."

"Your Highness, auspicious people have their own aura..."

"That's right."

At this moment, Xu Mingyi heard a boy's trembling voice.

"When Xiao Ruizi pushed me into the water... I heard him crying and saying..."

——I don't want to hurt His Highness even a bit, but I dare not disobey the emperor's orders.

Xiao Ruizi said so!

The boy repeated the original words intermittently.

The scorching heat was still on, but at this moment Xu Mingyi felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

It turned out that the murderer was the one who was in charge of everything.

Of course, no matter how you check, it is impossible to find out!

No wonder the prince not only dared not to speak out about this matter, but also was frightened to a high fever after being out of danger... It turns out that what scares him the most is not being drowned, but his biological father who is going to great lengths to take his life!

She just made a mistake.

In this world, not everyone is qualified to be called a father.

"I never wanted to be a prince... I'm stupid, I never dreamed of anything..."

The boy opened his eyes with difficulty, and grabbed Xu Mingyi's sleeve in fear.

"Sister Xu, I hope more than anyone else that the imperial concubine can give me a royal brother... I will give him everything, and I will not take anything away..."

"I'll explain this to my father...will he stop hating me like that?"

The boy's face was full of tears.

He thinks that he, who is stupid and sickly, is blocking the way of the unborn 'brother'.

Xu Mingyi shook his head slightly.

"No, if you haven't said it before, you will never say it again."

A person who will kill his own son, if he knows that his own son knows the truth, and if the truth is spread, it will have a terrible impact, what will he choose to do?

The answer is hardly in doubt.

She wiped away the boy's tears, looked into his eyes, and said word by word: "I have never heard of this today, and you should also pretend that you have never known——If you want to live, you must not give up hope." Relying on others, you must know how to be cautious and protect yourself.”

"But I'm afraid..."

"Don't be afraid." Xu Mingyi understood his fear, and instead of trying to comfort him blindly, he said seriously: "If you fail once, there won't be a second time."

And Concubine Rong will give birth to a prince.

That is the prince from the previous life.

In this life, even if the current crown prince is still there, a child who is too weak to take on important responsibilities and is not favored by the ministers will not be able to block anyone's way.

Retreat in time, or find a way out.

That is, at worst, it is stable for at least a few years.

Things in the future have not yet happened, and the immediate safety is the most important thing.

"I remember……"

The boy seemed to wake up a little bit, held back his tears, and nodded to Xu Mingyi.

"Then get some sleep."

Xu Mingyi inserted a silver needle into the prince's acupoint.

After a while, Ah Kui slowly calmed down the sleeping prince.

With such a high fever, His Royal Highness is still unable to recuperate peacefully. The girl's acupuncture will at least allow His Royal Highness to sleep for a while.

It's just that whether it can reduce the fever depends on the efficacy of the pill.

Seeing Xu Mingyi's master and servant walking out, the queen hurriedly asked, "How?"

Ah Kui waited, but she didn't wait for her girl to speak.

Wei Wei raises her eyes to look, only to see the Empress is watching her.

Ah, yes, she is the 'miracle doctor'...

"Going back to Empress Dowager, I still need to wait at least half an hour before I know whether His Highness the Crown Prince's fever will subside..."

There is absolutely no panacea in this world that can immediately reduce fever.

The queen nodded slightly.

"In that case, Miss Xu will go back to Changkun Palace with me first."

It was almost noon, and she intended to leave him for dinner.

Xu Ming agreed.

However, after this meal, she seemed calm on the surface, but the prince's words kept echoing in her mind.

It wasn't until seeing an inner eunuch walking quickly into the hall with his head bowed at this time that he temporarily distracted her attention.

But is there any news from the East Palace?
