CH 6

At the other end of the general’s mansion, Yuanzhi Pavilion.

Due to the recurrence of the prince’s old illness, the emperor specially sent a group of imperial physicians to stay in the Shenwu mansion to heal the prince.

Yuanzhi Pavilion is the place where the many imperial physicians are settled.

At dusk, before the mist dispersed, several imperial physicians were in the yard commanding the medicine boys to collect the dried herbs; they all looked leisurely.

“Bang -“

Suddenly, the thick courtyard door flew in with a loud noise.

The gate of the courtyard hit the ground heavily, and a pile of dust and broken soil hit them on the face. Surprised, they hurried;y looked up.

A very familiar figure strode in.

“Your Highness,the crown prince?!”

The look of consternation on the faces of the physicians turned into panic as soon as he appeared.

The crown prince who appeared in front of them looked very different from before.

His eyes were as heavy as thick ink, his thin lips were pursed into a line, the tight jaw lines looked very cold. The handsome and sharp facial features were covered with a layer of frost and the fierce murderous spirit around him almost solidified into a solid presence.

Yuan Buwei was holding Qin Mo’s long sword upside down. The bright cold light flashed on the sharp blade, looking very frightening.

Someone trembled and said, “Your Highness, what happened?”

He rubbed the handle of the knife with his hand, and a pair of eyes swept over, emitting a shocking anger and killing intent. Then a warm smile appeared on his lips.

“You have poisoned Gu and dare to ask Gu what’s happened?”

physician Zhong: “Yes?”

… when was the prince poisoned? Maybe they were still dreaming, so they heard wrong… No, the point is that it has nothing to do with them!

The young man’s face was as cold as ice and snow:

“Good, very good! If commander Qin hadn’t found out by accident, I’m afraid Gu would still be confused and killed by you!”

Imperial physicians: ? ? ?

… what? Commander Qin said?! That dog thief hurt me!!!1

After being stunned, they scrambled to explain.

“No, your highness misunderstood…”

However, his Highness’s mood was obviously wrong at this time, and he couldn’t hear anyone’s explanation in his rage.

“What else can you explain? Commander Qin will frame you!” He laughed angrily. As soon as he raised his wrist, the tip of the sword pointed to the group of people.

Not long after, a group of imperial physicians screamed one after another, mixed with messy footsteps sounds.

“No, don’t come!”

“Your Highness, there must be a misunderstanding. It has nothing to do with Wei Chen. I didn’t hurt you! Ah, don’t kill me!”

“The prince is crazy. Help!”

“Dog thief Qin Mo, I am at odds with you!”

Hearing these sounds from the medical courtyard, the guards outside couldn’t help looking at each other and snuck a look at Qin Mo’s ugly face.

Qin Mo ran out after Yuan Buwei.

After the two talked in the study, Yuan Buwei suddenly pulled out the sword. Qin Mo thought that his highness the crown prince would personally execute him. Unexpectedly, his highness the crown prince swiftly opened the door, raised the sword and left.

Qin Mo had a bad hunch and hurried after him, but he was still a step late.

He was about to break into the courtyard, but was stopped by the guards.

“Halt commander Qin. No one can go in without his h

highness’s order.”

With these words, many guards spontaneously surrounded the whole courtyard to avoid letting anyone through and damaging the crown prince’s reputation.

These guards have followed the crown prince for many years and are loyal to him. They know that the crown prince does some things that cannot come to light. Naturally, they don’t allow even a bird to enter or exit. Even Qin Mo, as the leader of the guards, will never be let in without the permission of his highness.

They have even begun to seriously think about how to help his highness destroy the corpses and eliminate incriminating evidence after everything is over.

For a time, all kinds of eyes concentrated in front of the courtyard.

Bodyguard A threw a look: Digging a hole is very good, simple and convenient. Throw it into an anonymous burial site outside the city.

Bodyguard B threw a look back: Anonymous burial site is too far away. It’s better to tie a stone and sink them into the river.

Bodyguard C expressed disdain: These two methods are too easy to be found. It’s better to bury them in the house to become flower fertilizer.

At the gate of Yuanzhi Pavilion, these bodyguards who had been experienced in hundreds of battles with his highness the crown prince were as hard as forged steel. There was no expression on their cold faces. They all exuded the momentum of a hundred battle veterans. Now they were exchanging glances with each other happily and communicated with high frequency efficiency.

——After so many years of leadership, the trust accumulated in his Highness the crown prince can not be destroyed overnight. They believe unconditionally that their loyal crown prince will never randomly kill innocent people. If there is a mistake, it must be an “innocent” mistake!

Even in the original plot, when Qi Mingxuan’s temperament became increasingly violent. It took seven years before he completely exhausted his accumulated fame and the expectations of the world for him and became a tyrant despised by everyone.

However, the situation in the courtyard was not as bloody as the guards thought——

“Hoo, hoo, Hoo…”

A group of imperial physicians who could no longer run shivered and shrank in the corner, paralyzed and panting violently. Their expressions were pitiful, weak and helpless.

The crown prince stood ten steps away, with his sword raised, looking at them, with a strong killing intent all over his body.

His chest fluctuated violently. It seemed that infinite anger was surging within. Maliciousness could be seen in his eyes for a moment and clear the next. It seemed that the whole person was struggling between these emotions. This was to forcibly restrain himself from taking further action.

… it seems that the next moment h e will suddenly burst!

The physicians were confused and didn’t know why.

But one of them saw the clues at a glance. It was clear that the strange poison in the prince’s body suddenly broke out. Only in this way could he lose control of his mood and make a crazy move of raising a sword and chasing the physicians!

As the person who prepared the poison himself, he knew that the poison was extremely toxic. At first, it was mild. Once the toxicity seeped deeper and deeper, it would break out completely one day, which could make a normal person lose all his senses and become a caged beast finally released.

Looking at the crown prince, the toxicity is deep.

The plan succeeded, but the man was not happy at all. On the contrary, endless horror was born.

——Because at this moment, he is locked up in this yard with the prince who is crazy holding a sword. He is about to face the beast out of the cage, and he is one of the people who may even die!

And he doesn’t want to die yet.

With the passage of time, the prince’s mood seemed more and more unstable. It seemed that he wanted to move several times, before he restrained it again.

Not to mention how frightened the informed among the imperial physicians was, other imperial physicians gradually saw something wrong with the crown prince. They couldn’t help trembling and didn’t dare to bet their lives on the self-control of the crown prince.

Thinking of the stimulation of being chased by the crown prince with a sword just now, they were frozen in fear. If the other party had not returned to the cage with reason and stopped in time, wouldn’t they all be gone?

Seeing the crown prince’s uncertain expression, it seemed that he was going to rage again at any time. An imperial physician quickly comforted: “Your Highness’s identity is valuable. Please rest your anger and let this minister check. If you have been poisoned, you need to be diagnosed and treated as soon as possible to avoid future trouble.”

However, in a gloomy and violent mood, the crown prince was dominated by anger and looked at them suspiciously: “Didn’t you poison me? You must have added the poison into the commonly used herbs?”

As he spoke, he seemed to go out of control again. His eyes went from clear to angry. The sword in his right hand was ready to move. Fortunately, his left hand made a lightning fast move and firmly grasped his right wrist.

When accused of the crime of poisoning the crown prince, the group of imperial physicians turned pale with fear and knelt on the ground with a “plop”. Whether it’s true or false, they must first plead injustice.

“Your Highness misunderstood me. I will never dare to do such a treacherous thing after receiving the favor of the emperor!” One of the oldest old physicians stood up and dared to appease the angry crown prince: “Your Highness, don’t be provoked by the traitors!”

“What physician Fang meant is that ministers have always been loyal. How dare they plot against the  crown prince?”

Other people also roused and began to defend each other in a sincere tone.

“… Really?”

Although the tone of his highness was still skeptical,he was obviously shaken. The sword in his hand started to withdraw, and the anger in his eyes converged slightly with signs of struggle.

As soon as they saw hope, they quickly struck while the iron was hot: “The first priority is to remove the toxin now. Your highness, don’t delay, so as not to cause disaster.”

After all, these imperial physicians are professional. They were scared and stupid before. Now, after reacting, they immediately took out the spirit of “accompanying the king is like riding a tiger” phrase, spoke to appease him one after another, and advised the prince to allow treatment from them.

What’s more, there is the poisoner who has the inside story and knows exactly what effect the strange poison has. How to stimulate and guide the prince’s mood in words, how to make the other party’s mood more irritable, and how to ease it slightly are clear to this person.

……

After much appeasement by the imperial physicians, the crown prince, whose mood remained on the edge of the outbreak, seemed to have finally managed to control his mood, and his eyes returned to a clear indifference.

“Well, I trust you once more.”

He glanced at the crowd and stretched out a wrist.

The other hand still pressed on the handle vigilantly.



Green smoke curled in the incense burner, and a young man in black reclined on a soft couch.

His black hair spread out on the soft couch against his clothes of the same color. His indifferent eyebrows showed a little unhappiness. Staring at the medicine bowl in front of him, as if facing life and death foes.

After staring coldly for a while, the medicine bowl didn’t grow feet to escape, but the smell of the dark brown medicine soup became stronger.

He had to pick up the bowl and gulp it down.

Unimaginable bitterness spread from the tip of the tongue.Yuan Buwie collapsed back onto the couch and lay there.

……Orz。2

With the crown prince’s permission, as soon as Qin Mo entered Yuanzhi Pavilion, he saw such a scene.

But before he could say anything, he was surrounded by a group of imperial physicians. Some of these physicians have gray beards and some are young, but no matter which type, they  look at him with extremely unfriendly gazes.

“Commander Qin, are you spreading rumors and slandering us poisoning his highness in front of the crown prince?”

“We have had no grievances in the past and are not enemies currently. Why does commander Qin slander our innocence out of thin air?”

“You look like a good man with thick eyebrows and big eyes on weekdays. I didn’t expect you to do such provocative things behind our backs!”

“Even your sword was handed to the crown prince on your own initiative. Is this for fear that his highness will not kill us? You’re really cruel and heinous!”

Qin Mo: No, not me, I didn’t.

Facing the angry faces, a series of question marks appeared on Qin Mo’s head.

And when he understood the implications from their complaints, his already dark and cold face turned completely black.

Obviously, he didn’t say anything. How did these people conclude that he “deliberately snitched in front of the crown prince, slandered the imperial physicians with poisoning the crown prince, provoking discord and being shameless in the obstruction of healing”?

Qin Mo was stunned by the black pot falling from the sky.

He couldn’t help but look at the person lying aside. Looking like a celestial with a cold solemn face was his highness the crown prince.

The other party looked back with innocent and blank eyes, as if to say: Alas, I didn’t expect you to be such a person!

… what a perfect disguise.

Qin Mo: “…”

Even if he said that the crown prince had forced the black pot on his head, I’m afraid no one would believe it?

… the bad hunch has come true.

1Dog thief=狗贼 is insulting someone and calling them a swindler. I thought it sounded good in Chinese so I left it in.
