Chapter 347: Can’t You Really Live Beyond 35 Years?
"Thank you, Doctor!" Bei Yunting frowned in dissatisfaction, "You are also an old man serving me, how could you say such inappropriate words!"
Doctor Xie kowtowed in fear: "Your Majesty, it is precisely because of my loyalty that I dare not lie. The young general was seriously injured that year, and it was a miracle that he survived. Now the white atractylodes powder has penetrated into the bone marrow and is difficult to remove. The young general's body has long been exhausted, so, I am afraid that..."
"Thank you, Doctor. Please tell me the truth. How long can my brother last?" Yi Qianhuan frowned and asked in pain.
"At most three to five years, at least half a year..." Doctor Xie saw that everyone's faces suddenly turned ugly, and hurriedly said: "I will do my best to maintain the health of the young general. Fortunately, the young general's health is fine in other aspects. The remaining time is enough for him to give birth to an heir..."
"Duke Yi is thirty-two this year, in the prime of his life, why is he so anxious to have a child?" Bei Yunting was furious and swept the tea bowl on the table to the ground, "Quack! Someone, go and invite all the doctors from the Imperial Hospital over, I must cure the Duke no matter what!"
"Your Majesty." Yi Qianyuan knelt down again: "What Doctor Xie said is indeed true. My wife is also a doctor, and what she said is not much different from Doctor Xie. I am already like this, and I just want to be with my family in my last days. Please don't vent your anger on innocent people because of my health."
"Alas, it really makes me sad that the Duke said so. Well, since you insist on doing so, I will confer the title of first-rank lady on your wife, and you and your wife can go back to the Duke of Yi's mansion to recuperate together." Bei Yunting seemed tired, and sighed heavily, and then gave many precious medicinal herbs as a reward.
Yi Qianhuan and Yi Qianyuan thanked him and left together.
As the door of the imperial study closed, Bei Yunting raised his head, and the sadness in his eyes was replaced by sharpness: "Xie Imperial Doctor, how much of what you just said is true?"
Doctor Xie put away his panic and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, everything I said is true."
"So, Yi Qianyuan really won't live for more than three to five years?" Seeing Doctor Xie nod, Bei Yunting pondered for a moment, "Then his memory..."
"Your Majesty, Baizhu powder does make people lose their minds, and it is common for them to lose their memories. Moreover, as the Baizhu powder is used more, the poisoned person's mind will become more and more unclear, and it is a foregone conclusion that he will become demented in the future. According to the Duke's current physical condition, within a year at most, he will completely lose his mind under the influence of Baizhu powder and become a walking corpse."
"A year... is too long." Bei Yunting sighed, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes. "Thank you, Doctor. I am concerned about Duke Yi's condition, so I allow you to serve him at the Duke's Mansion. Within half a year, I hope to see the situation you described."
Doctor Xie's whole body trembled slightly. He looked up at Bei Yunting and quickly lowered his head: "Yes, I obey your order."
Here, Yi Qianhuan quickly led Yi Qianyuan onto the carriage.
Yi Qianyuan was covered in cold sweat, his face was pale, and he looked like he was almost out of breath.
Yi Qianhuan quickly poured tea and asked Yi Qianyuan to drink the tea and swallow an antidote: "Brother has suffered."
Yi Qianyuan took the medicine and relaxed. His expression soon returned to normal: "No risk, no gain. If Bei Yunting knew that I have recovered my memory, I would definitely die. This is also a helpless move."
"Fortunately, the elixir developed by Mo Bao and my sister-in-law is effective. As long as my brother takes their elixir, his pulse will return to what it was before." Yi Qianhuan said this and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Today they were worried about Bei Yunting's test, so they asked Yi Qianyuan to take the elixir before coming.
After taking the pill, Yi Qianyuan's pulse will become weak, and then he will seem to be controlled by the Atractylodes powder and be severely poisoned.
"It's a pity that this medicine can't be used all the time, and it has serious side effects. My body did become much weaker after taking it." Yi Qianyuan said this and couldn't help laughing, "But at least I got through it."
"I'm afraid it's not that simple. Bei Yunting will definitely make frequent attempts in the future, so we still have to be careful." Yi Qianhuan said this as the carriage under him shook violently.
"What's going on? You don't even know how to drive?" Yi Qianyuan saw Yi Qianhuan stagger and couldn't help but scold the driver.
The driver quickly apologized outside the curtain: "Please forgive me, Lord Duke and God. I didn't mean to do that. It was just that a carriage suddenly appeared in the alley ahead, so I had to brake suddenly."
"Lord God of the State." At this moment, a gentle female voice came from outside the carriage.
"It's Princess Lianhe." Yi Qianhuan recognized the woman's voice immediately.
"What does she want to do? It was Bei Yunting who granted you and Ji Chilian a marriage, and this favor was also obtained by Ji Chilian personally going to the palace to ask for it. Even if she wants to cause trouble, she should go to Ji Chilian and her biological father. Why would she come to you?" Yi Qianyuan didn't have a good impression of Princess Lianhe.
Especially when Princess Lianhe suddenly blocked their carriage, it was obvious that she was here with ill intentions.
He doesn't like anyone targeting his sister.
"Don't worry, brother. I won't suffer any loss." Yi Qianhuan asked Yi Qianyuan to wait in the car, and he got out of the car.
After getting off the car, Yi Qianhuan indeed saw Princess Lianhe.
Lianzhi was standing beside Princess Lianhe, supporting her.
"I haven't seen you for a few days. The princess seems to have lost a lot of weight." Yi Qianhuan glanced at Princess Lianhe and found that her face was pale, her chin was pointy, and there was almost no flesh on her face.
"I have been overly worried since I was young, and never got enough rest, so I have lost some weight. I am sorry to trouble the gods for their concern." Princess Lianhe smiled slightly, without any hostility at all.
Lianzhi felt sorry for Princess Lianhe and said with red eyes: "Princess, why do you have to hide it? Ever since you found out that the emperor wanted to arrange a marriage between Duke Du and the national god, you have been unable to sleep day and night, unable to eat or sleep. In just a few days, you had a high fever three or four times. How could you not lose weight!"
"Don't talk nonsense in front of the Lord God!" Princess Lianhe scolded Lian Zhi with a stern face, and when she turned to look at Yi Qianhuan, she put on a smile again, "Lord God, please don't listen to Lian Zhi's nonsense. I have always been like this, and it has nothing to do with anyone else."
Yi Qianhuan didn't say anything. She just let Lian Zhi glare at her several times.
"So, what the maidservant beside Princess Lianhe said just now is not true?" Yi Qianhuan asked.
Princess Lianhe smiled weakly: "Yes..."
Seeing Princess Lianhe started coughing halfway through her speech, Yi Qianhuan nodded and said, "In that case, come here, take Lianzhi down and slap her thirty times."
Princess Lianhe stopped coughing abruptly and looked at Yi Qianhuan in disbelief.
"Princess, now the whole capital is waiting to laugh at you and me. They want you and me to fight to the death for the governor. Under this situation, you and I should live in harmony. But I never thought that the maid beside the princess would deliberately instigate us. Isn't this a slap in our face? For such a stubborn slave who talks nonsense, she must be beaten with dozens of boards to let her know how powerful she is." Yi Qianhuan said as a matter of course.
