Chapter 206: The toxins are receding, Hu Hai

~6 min read 1,002 words

Early the next morning,

Fusu rose early, but he did not wake the palace servants, choosing instead to open a book and continue reading.

It was not until the sun was higher that he had the palace servants help him wash and bring up breakfast.

The original peace was broken by a voice.

"His Majesty has arrived!"

Upon hearing this voice, Fusu struggled to stand up from his stool.

"Why get up? Sit down."

Ying Zheng waved his hand, signaling Fusu to sit down directly without bowing.

Fusu bowed to Ying Zheng with difficulty, then sat back down in his seat.

"I do not know why Imperial Father has come so early in the morning?"

Judging by the time, Ying Zheng had clearly just finished the morning court session.

"I had Zhang Han search for a divine physician, but the search was fruitless."

Ying Zheng said.

Upon hearing Ying Zheng's words, a look of stunned surprise appeared on Fusu's face.

But afterward, he forced a smile.

"I had already prepared myself."

Ying Zheng could naturally see the repressed suffering in Fusu.

He was also suffering greatly.

He had already lost one excellent eldest son.

Could it be that he was going to lose his second son as well?

His offspring were already few.

This was no different from carving out his heart.

"You are not without a cure."

"I do not know if this elixir can cure the poison in your body."

"As for whether you are willing to take it, that is entirely up to you."

Ying Zheng took out the bottle of elixir.

Fusu's attention was entirely focused on this bottle of elixir.

The pitch-black jade bottle exuded an unusual luster.

Opening the stopper, a refreshing fragrance wafted out from within.

Smelling this medicinal scent, Fusu's head, which had been somewhat groggy, felt a bit clearer.

"Imperial Father, where did this elixir come from?"

Fusu asked hesitantly.

"The Ghost."

Ying Zheng uttered two words.

Although the person had handed it to Zhang Han, Ying Zheng understood that it was given by the Ghost.

Fusu did not expect the Ghost to provide an elixir.

This left him truly puzzled.

His gaze was fixed tightly on the pitch-black elixir in his palm.

Ying Zheng knew he would hesitate, so he did not speak.

But before Ying Zheng could react, Fusu swallowed the elixir directly.

He did all of this too quickly.

It caught Ying Zheng off guard.

"Imperial Father, if I do not take this elixir, I only have two months of life left."

"Since that is the case, why not take a gamble?"

A forced smile appeared on Fusu's face.

Ying Zheng glanced at Fusu; he knew what this child was thinking in his heart.

"Someone, summon the imperial physicians."

He then turned his head and shouted outside the palace.

The imperial physicians soon entered Young Master Fusu's palace.

When these imperial physicians entered, their expressions were incredibly ugly.

They had no cure for the toxins in Young Master Fusu's body.

Being summoned here again at this time was no different from receiving another baptism of Ying Zheng's rage.

Every imperial physician's face was extremely ugly and gloomy.

Many of the imperial physicians had already made plans for their aftermath.

Just as Fusu swallowed the elixir, he felt a hot current spread from his abdomen throughout his entire body.

Afterward, his whole body felt as if it were in a steamer, radiating heat.

Fusu's originally fair face turned bright red under this heat.

Beads of sweat flowed continuously from his forehead.

Even his clothes were soaked through with sweat.

Ying Zheng watched Fusu's changes, a trace of anxiety in his eyes.

As for the elixir the Ghost had given, he himself had no bottom line in his heart.

He had taken the elixir the Ghost gave him previously entirely because of his trust in his son.

This Ghost was a subordinate of Mo'er.

So he believed the Ghost would not harm him.

But he had not experienced such intense changes after taking the elixir as Fusu was now.

"Show me, what exactly is wrong with him?"

Ying Zheng turned his head and roared at the imperial physicians.

These physicians scrambled to Young Master Fusu's side and began to examine the situation.

"Why is Young Master Fusu's body temperature so high?"

"So much cold sweat on his body."

"Look quickly, the toxins on Young Master Fusu's legs seem to be receding."

One of the imperial physicians suddenly lifted Young Master Fusu's trouser leg.

Then they clearly saw that the originally pitch-black lower leg seemed to be fading under this heat.

The imperial physicians, who had thought they were surely going to die, saw this scene, and a flash of surprise crossed their eyes.

"Your Majesty, the toxins in Young Master Fusu's body seem to be receding?"

One of the imperial physicians turned his head and said to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng also looked at Fusu's trouser leg; that patch of black was indeed slowly fading.

"Continue to observe for me."

Ying Zheng continued.

Now, this group of imperial physicians no longer felt the previous fear.

Fusu's body was clearly improving, and the toxins were receding.

At the very least, it meant they were currently in no danger of losing their lives.

The fact that Fusu had summoned a large number of imperial physicians again naturally attracted the attention of interested parties in the palace.

When Hu Hai learned of this news, he immediately arrived at the door of Fusu's palace.

He prepared to investigate the news himself.

"Young Master, you are not allowed to enter."

"Presumptuous, I have come personally to show concern for my elder brother; what is wrong with that?"

Hu Hai's arrogant voice rang out outside.

Upon hearing this voice, Ying Zheng gave Zhang Han a look.

Zhang Han understood immediately and walked outside.

Hu Hai, who had been reprimanding the guard with a face full of rage, immediately saw Zhang Han walking out from inside.

He froze slightly.
