Chapter 146 Being Poisoned
At this time, Li Siqi's body temperature was already very low. When Xu Yingying put her warm lips against it, it felt extremely cold. The poison flowed more slowly in the cold state, which gave Xu Yingying enough time.
She carefully sucked out the venom bit by bit until the blood was no longer black, and only then did Xu Yingying stop.
Yi Tai had put the incense ash and glutinous rice aside early in the morning. He originally wanted to disinfect on behalf of Xu Yingying, but was stopped by Xu Yingying.
After Xu Yingying simply rinsed her mouth with the tea next to her, she took the incense ash and glutinous rice and sprinkled them on the wound. The glutinous rice has the effect of exorcising evil spirits, while the incense ash is used for disinfection.
The moment the glutinous rice touched the wound, wisps of black smoke were emitted. Seeing this, Xu Yingying's expression relaxed. As long as the glutinous rice was useful, it was fine.
But when Xu Yingying told him about what happened last night, Li Siqi fainted due to overexertion. Xu Yingying took his pulse and confirmed that Li Siqi was fine in the short term, so she planned to go find Cheng Peng.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Cheng Peng waiting outside. Cheng Peng noticed Li Siqi lying on the bed, and Xu Yingying was also exhausted and looked a little embarrassed.
Xu Yingying noticed Cheng Peng's eyes, frowned, and closed the door.
"County Lady Cheng, I was just looking for you, why are you here?" When Xu Yingying saw Cheng Peng looking at her clothes, she subconsciously patted them to shake off the dust on her clothes.
"Oh, I heard from the servants that His Highness was injured, so I hurried over to visit. I wonder if His Highness is okay now?" Cheng Peng asked cautiously. He could see that Li Siqi treated Xu Yingying in a special way.
Xu Yingying just shook her head solemnly, "His Highness was seriously injured. Although the poison has been cleared, the situation is still not satisfactory. His Highness is still in a coma. County Master Cheng, can you find a famous doctor to treat His Highness?"
Cheng Peng is Xu Yingying's only hope right now. Yitai must stay by Li Siqi's side and cannot leave. Xu Yingying only hopes that Cheng Peng can be supportive.
Cheng Peng nodded and said, "Leave this matter to me. I will do my best to serve Your Highness." After that, Cheng Peng left without stopping and asked his men to help find a famous doctor.
Xu Yingying didn't want to do this. Searching for a doctor on such a large scale would definitely attract the attention of those people in the capital, but for Li Siqi, Xu Yingying didn't care about that.
Cheng Peng acted very quickly. In just three days, countless doctors came, but they were all helpless against Li Siqi's poison. Li Siqi lay in bed unconscious for three days and three nights.
Finally, the news reached the capital. However, the people in the capital had different expressions. Li Siming knew about it first and was so happy that he smiled widely.
He hated Li Siqi to the core and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible. Now Li Siqi was seriously injured and his life or death was uncertain. Li Siming was naturally happy. He wished Li Siqi would die directly so that no one would compete with him for the throne.
Because of Li Siming, the Imperial Concubine also learned that Li Siqi had been in a coma for three days and three nights, and she applauded.
"My son, God has a good heart. Li Siqi is now on the verge of death. But why is he still alive? Why doesn't he just die? His mother is a bitch. She even dared to snatch things from me. And the son she gave birth to is not a good person either. He even dared to covet your things."
The Imperial Concubine hated Li Siqi to the core.
"Mother, do you think I should go and take a look? I heard that Li Siqi has been in a coma for three days and three nights. He must be almost a corpse. I want to see him off for the last time." Li Siming said so, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that Li Siming wanted to kill Li Siqi directly.
The Imperial Concubine naturally had no reason to stop it, but before Li Siming could take any action, the Emperor also knew about it.
When the Imperial Concubine told Li Siming, his face almost twisted.
"Which bitch is gossiping in front of my father? I'm going to kill him!" Li Siming was very angry when his plan was interrupted. If the emperor knew about this, he would definitely intervene. If he left the capital to find Li Siqi at this time, and if Li Siqi died, it would all be his fault.
"My son, calm down. It's better not to go to Feng County. We still have to conceal this matter. Even if the emperor knows about this, he will definitely not watch Li Siqi die outside. He will definitely bring Li Siqi back."
"In this case, you might as well wait until he returns to the capital and then find an opportunity to take action, rather than taking risks now." The Imperial Concubine was much smarter than Li Siming and quickly thought of the best way to benefit herself.
After hearing this, Li Siming's expression did not improve much, but since things had come to this point, he did not dare to act rashly.
The emperor felt very sorry for Li Siqi. When Su Shengyuan stepped into the imperial study, he saw the emperor sitting in a chair with a thoughtful look on his face, wondering what he was thinking about.
"Your Majesty?" Su Shengyuan called softly, and the emperor came back to his senses, but his face was still bitter. "Tell me, was it a wrong decision for me to let Lao Jiu leave the capital?"
"Your Majesty, are you still worried about the Ninth Prince's health?" Su Shengyuan had some guesses in his mind when he heard what the emperor said.
The emperor sighed heavily, "Old Nine is the child of me and the queen, but since the queen passed away, Old Nine has never been close to me again. Now this kind of thing has happened, I am sorry to the queen."
"Your Majesty, please don't say that. If the Queen is still alive, she would not want to see Your Majesty like this. Besides, the Ninth Prince is a lucky man, so nothing serious will happen to him." Su Shengyuan hurriedly comforted the emperor.
The emperor was silent for a moment, then he thought of something and said, "Su Shengyuan, take a few trusted doctors and go to Feng County secretly to check on Lao Jiu's health. If you really can't, bring him back to the capital."
Su Shengyuan was shocked. He didn't expect that the emperor attached so much importance to Li Siqi that he would ask him to lead people there in person.
But Su Shengyuan did not dare to delay. He said yes and hurriedly prepared his things for Fengxian County.
This time it was the emperor who gave the order personally, so Su Shengyuan packed up his things and rushed to Feng County without stopping.
In less than two days, Xu Yingying saw Su Shengyuan. When she first saw him, she thought she was seeing things. It was not until Su Shengyuan stood in front of her that Xu Yingying breathed a sigh of relief.
"Eunuch Su, long time no see, I hope you are well."
Xu Yingying was the first to greet Su Shengyuan politely.
Su Shengyuan quickly returned the greeting, "My Lord, I am sorry for the humiliation. This time I came here on the orders of His Majesty to visit His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince. I wonder if you could help lead the way?"
