In a contemplative state, he spoke, "Your Majesty, I remember that the royal family possesses a certain secret medicine. Should we not try it first? With Your Majesty's favor, I have experienced its effects once before; the memory of its efficacy is still vivid. A fatal wound showed signs of healing within just half an hour. Such a miraculous medicine should be brought forth at critical moments.
It is not that I am trying to excuse Miss Sang; she is only ten years old. While her abilities are indeed remarkable, her experience is lacking. She knows curses can be powerful but has yet to uncover the nature of this particular curse, and she keeps this matter in mind.
Even after the incident with the Consort of the Second Prince yesterday, Miss Sang still made an effort to reach out to various parties without holding any grudges. This medicine must be used appropriately; the more dangerous the ailment, the more careful one must be. A slight miscalculation could cost a life in an instant. Therefore, she is hesitant to act hastily and is still awaiting news.
Before entering the palace, I had a few words with Yong Huai, who shares this sentiment. The Yong Family has already mobilized the Demon Catching Realm to search for answers, and news should arrive soon.
Of course, we cannot afford to wait idly during this time; thus, it is indeed time to bring forth that secret medicine. However, Qin Mu Hui expressed concern that the current developments cannot treat curses.
Qi Xiaomian suggested that now is the right time for the Ling Family to step in. They are also monitoring the Consort of the Second Prince's condition; surely they have conducted research on this matter?
The Second Prince intervened on behalf of the Ling Family, stating that the secret medicine is reserved for the royal family alone. Without royal permission, they would not dare to consider this avenue.
Qi Xiaomian bowed to Qin Mu Hui and said, "Your Majesty, Miss Sang has noticed that this curse has already affected the Second Prince as well. It is time for the Ling Family to develop a remedy."
We cannot rely solely on the Demon Catching Realm; a dual approach would provide greater stability.
When I arrived, Miss Sang also suggested something. Yong Huai still possesses Revitalization Talismans. Those talismans can be applied to human medicines; perhaps combining them with the secret medicine could yield some effect.
At least it's a method," Qin Mu Hui nodded and immediately summoned Ling Jiudao to inquire about the feasibility of this approach.
Ling Jiudao, though reluctant in his heart, had no choice but to brace himself. After all, this strange ailment has already affected the Second Prince. He could not guarantee success but stated he would do his utmost to try.
The Emperor was dissatisfied with his response but could not press him too hard.
Ling Jiudao left the palace alongside Qi Xiaomian. As soon as they stepped out of the gates, he grumbled, "Yongxin Marquis really keeps a tight guard over Miss Sang."
Qi Xiaomian retorted, "What do you mean by that, Ling Yuan Shou?"
Hmph! Clear words were not spoken; he was quite adept at deflecting responsibility.
Miss Sang was also contemplating methods; there was no room for excuses here. What I am doing is ultimately for Ling Yuan Shou's benefit.
You have treated the Consort of the Second Prince multiple times without any improvement; in fact, her condition has worsened and even affected the Second Prince. This is a grave offense.
The Emperor is currently anxious and overlooks your transgressions; once he remembers, it will not simply result in your dismissal."
Now, your participation in the treatment is an opportunity for you to atone for your sins. With the assistance of the Demon Catcher, the chances of success will be even greater.
If, in the end, we truly cannot save them, considering your diligent efforts, you will receive leniency during questioning, even if there are no merits to speak of.
Ling Jiudao's complexion gradually turned pale as Qi Xiaomian spoke, beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead, nearly causing him to collapse.
Rather than engaging in sarcastic remarks with me here, Ling Yuan Shou should hurry back home. Don't wait until the patient dies while you have made no progress at all. At that point, Miss Sang and I will surely be fine; only you will face the wrath of His Majesty.
