Chapter 186 There is Still a Way
"Rou'er..." The prince looked at the woman, tears streaming down his face.
He held the woman's hand tightly, as if he wanted to embed her into his body.
"Rou'er, do you still remember?" He looked at the woman and whispered, "You said you would stay with me forever."
"You said you wanted to watch the sunrise and sunset, and appreciate the flowers and the moon with me."
"You said you would give me many children."
"But now you are going to break your promise..." The prince said, his voice choked with sobs.
He held the woman's hand tightly, as if to wake her up.
However, the woman did not react at all, but just lay there quietly, as if she had left this world.
"Rou'er..." The prince looked at the woman, his heart aching.
He didn't know how he would survive in the future.
"Prince, please accept my condolences." The imperial physician looked at the prince and whispered, "The Crown Princess has passed away."
"No!" Upon hearing this, the prince suddenly looked up at the imperial physician, "You're talking nonsense! Rou'er is not dead! She's just asleep!"
"Prince..." The imperial physician looked at the prince, feeling somewhat helpless.
He knew that the prince could not accept this fact.
"Get out!" the prince suddenly shouted frantically, "Get out!"
Upon hearing this, the imperial physician and the maids quickly retreated.
Only the prince and the woman were left in the room.
The prince looked at the woman with an infatuated look on his face.
"Rou'er, do you remember?" he whispered, "When you first saw me, you were lying there quietly like this, defenseless."
"At that time, I was attracted by your beauty." The corners of his mouth curled up, as if he had returned to the past.
"I still remember the first time you made tea for me, you couldn't even put the tea leaves in properly." He smiled and shook his head, "You were so cute back then."
"Also, the first time you lost your temper with me." He couldn't help laughing as he thought of the time when Lin Wanqing got furious at him because of a misunderstanding.
"Rou'er, do you know?" He looked at the woman with a gentle expression, "Actually, I've fallen in love with you since that time."
"But I have been avoiding you." He sighed, "Because I don't think I am worthy of you."
"But now I am the crown prince." He looked at the woman, a glint of determination in his eyes, "I will never let you leave me again."
"So, you must wake up!" He held the woman's hand tightly, as if to convey his will to her.
However, the woman still did not respond.
"Rou'er..." The prince looked at the woman, a trace of despair flashing in his eyes.
He didn't know how much longer he could hold on.
Just then, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside the door.
"Prince, Prince!" a voice came.
The prince looked over when he heard the sound and saw a guard hurried in.
he asked unhappily, frowning.
"The... the prince is here." The guard looked at the prince and said tremblingly.
"What is he here for?" The prince's face darkened when he heard this.
"I don't know." The guard lowered his head, not daring to look the prince in the eye.
"No!" the prince said coldly, "Just say I'm busy!"
"But..." The guard was a little embarrassed when he heard this.
"But what?" The prince glared at the guard, "You don't even listen to me?"
"No, I dare not." The guard was frightened by the prince's eyes and said quickly, "I will go and report to the prince right away."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
"Lu Shengyuan..." The prince looked at the guard's back and sneered, "Who do you think you are? How dare you meddle in my business!"
He turned his head and looked at the woman on the bed.
"Rou'er, don't worry." He said softly, "I won't let anyone disturb us."
However, just as he finished speaking, he heard the voice of the guard coming from outside the door.
"Prince, you can't go in!"
"Get out of here!" Lu Shengyuan's voice came.
"Prince, this is the Crown Princess's bedroom, you can't go in!"
"Get out of the way!" Lu Shengyuan said, pushing the guard away.
"Bang!" The door was pushed open heavily.
Lu Shengyuan walked in.
He looked at the prince with a cold expression.
"What are you doing here?" The prince looked at Lu Shengyuan and asked coldly.
"I heard that the Crown Princess was seriously ill, so I came to see her." Lu Shengyuan said, looking at the woman on the bed.
"No need for your fake kindness!" The prince snorted coldly upon hearing this, "Go away, you are not welcome here."
"Prince, I have a way to save the Crown Princess." Lu Shengyuan looked at the Crown Prince and said lightly.
"What?" Upon hearing this, the prince suddenly looked up at Lu Shengyuan, "What did you say?"
"I said, I have a way to save the Crown Princess." Lu Shengyuan repeated.
"Can you really save Rou'er?" The prince looked at Lu Shengyuan, a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
"I'm sure I have a way, but..." Lu Shengyuan paused, "I need your cooperation."
"As long as you can save Rou'er, I will do anything!" The prince said excitedly when he heard it.
"Okay." Lu Shengyuan nodded. "Then you go out first. I need to give the Crown Princess acupuncture."
"Acupuncture?" The prince was a little confused when he heard this.
"That's right." Lu Shengyuan nodded. "I have a unique acupuncture technique that might be able to save the Crown Princess' life."
"Really?" the prince said excitedly upon hearing this.
"Yeah." Lu Shengyuan nodded.
"Then... then I'll go out now!" said the prince, standing up.
He looked at Lu Shengyuan, his eyes full of gratitude.
"Lu Shengyuan..." he whispered, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Lu Shengyuan glanced at him, "I'm also trying to save the Crown Princess."
After saying that, he walked to the bedside and began to give acupuncture to the Crown Princess.
His technique was skillful, and each needle accurately penetrated the Crown Princess's acupuncture points.
As time went by, the Crown Princess's complexion gradually improved.
The prince was waiting anxiously outside.
He didn't know whether Lu Shengyuan could save the Crown Princess' life.
Finally, the door opened.
Lu Shengyuan walked out.
"How is it?" the prince asked hurriedly.
"Her life was saved, but..." Lu Shengyuan paused, "She was deeply poisoned and will need some time to recover."
"Poisoned?" The prince's face changed when he heard this. "Are you saying that Rou'er was poisoned?"
"That's right." Lu Shengyuan nodded. "The Crown Princess was poisoned by a chronic poison. It must have been taken for a long time, and coupled with the Gu worm, that's why her life is in danger."
"Then...what should we do?" the prince asked anxiously upon hearing this.
"I'll prescribe some medicine for her to take." Lu Shengyuan said, walking to the table and writing down a prescription. "But this can only temporarily suppress the toxicity."
"Then, is there an antidote?" The prince looked at Lu Shengyuan and asked anxiously.
