Chapter 124: Prince Jin is Not Dead
Jiang Yanwan, Wu Junyao and his team were surrounded by the guards of King Qing, and the atmosphere instantly became tense and depressing. The lights illuminated King Qing's cold face, and his eyes revealed cold murderous intent.
"How dare you, a bunch of rebels, break into Prince Qing's mansion and attempt to kidnap my confidants?" Prince Qing shouted harshly, not hiding his anger at all.
Wu Junyao's eyes were stern. He drew the sword from his waist and said in a deep voice, "Prince Qing, what you have done has already surpassed the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects. For the sake of justice, we must stop you!"
Prince Qing sneered: "Great justice? This is just a means for me to ascend to the throne. Since you are seeking death, then I will grant your wish!"
After saying that, King Qing waved his hand, and the guards drew their weapons and rushed towards Wu Junyao and his party. The two sides quickly engaged in a battle, with swords flashing and sabers flashing, and murderous intent was everywhere.
In the midst of the chaos, Jiang Yanwan suddenly noticed a flash of light between Prince Qing's clothes. She looked closely and was surprised to find that it was a jade pendant with the family emblem of Prince Jin engraved on it!
She was shocked, but quickly calmed down. While the guards didn't notice her, she approached Prince Qing lightly. At the same time, she shouted, "Prince Qing, I can cure Prince Jin!"
Prince Qing was about to order another attack, but when he heard this, he paused. The guards around him also stopped their actions, and the atmosphere on the field suddenly froze.
"What did you say?" Prince Qing stared at her dangerously, with a hint of doubt and warning in his tone.
Jiang Yanwan took a deep breath and tried to stay calm: "Prince Jin is not dead, right? If you want him to recover, don't do it, otherwise he may never recover."
Prince Qing narrowed his eyes and asked coldly, "How do you know Prince Jin is still alive?"
Jiang Yanwan pointed at his collar and said, "That jade pendant is the token of King Jin. I have seen it before. If it wasn't very important to you, you wouldn't wear it."
Prince Qing's face changed slightly. After thinking for a moment, he waved his hand to signal the guards to stop for the time being. He approached Jiang Yanwan, his eyes flashing with complex emotions: "If you dare to lie, I will never forgive you. Prince Jin is indeed seriously injured, but how can I believe that you can heal him?"
Jiang Yanwan said calmly: "You have seen my medical skills. If you are worried, you can arrange for someone to monitor him. As long as I have enough time and medicine, I will be able to make King Jin recover as before."
Prince Qing pondered for a long time and finally made up his mind: "Okay, if you can really cure Prince Jin, I will forgive you for what happened. But if you dare to play tricks, I will make you live a life worse than death."
Prince Qing turned around and ordered the guards: "Take her to see Prince Jin, and take the rest back to the cell to await their fate!"
When Wu Junyao heard this, he was shocked and shouted quickly: "Yan Wan, you can't trust him. It's too dangerous to stay here!"
Jiang Yanwan looked at Wu Junyao firmly: "Junyao, this is the only way. Believe me, I know what to do."
Wu Junyao had a complicated expression, but he could only nod helplessly: "Okay, you must be careful."
Jiang Yanwan walked towards the inner courtyard under the leadership of King Qing, while Wu Junyao and others were forcibly taken away. Along the way, she secretly noted the location of each checkpoint and the number of guards, which would be an important clue for her escape in the future.
After passing through several doors, Jiang Yanwan was finally brought into a secret courtyard. The place was heavily guarded, and the courtyard was filled with a strong smell of medicine. A middle-aged man with a full beard and dressed in black was mixing medicinal materials. When he saw Prince Qing coming in, he quickly saluted and said, "Your Highness, everything is normal here."
Prince Qing nodded and turned to Jiang Yanwan: "This is my trusted physician, Doctor Li. He has been taking care of Prince Jin. From now on, you will take over."
Jiang Yanwan nodded to Doctor Li, and then followed King Qing into the inner room. The inner room was simply furnished, with a pale-faced man lying on a large bed, his eyes closed, and it was obvious that he was seriously ill.
Jiang Yanwan approached the bed and carefully checked the pulse and physical condition of the King of Jin. She found that the poison in the King of Jin's body had penetrated into his bone marrow and his injuries were extremely complicated.
Prince Qing stood aside and asked coldly, "Doctor Jiang, do you have any good prescription?"
Jiang Yanwan pondered for a moment and replied, "The toxins in King Jin's body are complex and will take some time to clear. I need some special medicinal herbs and a sterile environment to prepare the medicine."
Prince Qing nodded and said, "Doctor Li will help you prepare what you need. But remember, there are people watching every step of the way. If there is any abnormal behavior, I will not show mercy."
Jiang Yanwan nodded to show that she understood, turned around and left the inner room, and began to prepare the herbs she needed. She knew that this was not only her chance to prove herself, but also a chance to escape.
With the help of Doctor Li, Jiang Yanwan gradually began to prepare the prescription and began to treat King Jin. Every day, she would enter the inner room under the supervision of the guards to clean the toxins and adjust the medicine for King Jin.
During this period, Jiang Yanwan kept looking for opportunities to contact the outside world. She tried to pass some obscure messages through Dr. Li, hoping that Wu Junyao and friends outside would take action.
A few days later, the condition of the King of Jin improved. One night, Jiang Yanwan was checking the pulse of the King of Jin in the inner room when she suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the door. She was startled and could not help but be alert.
Prince Qing pushed the door open and walked in, his face gloomy, obviously something serious had happened. He walked to Prince Jin's bedside and asked in a low voice: "Doctor Jiang, how is Prince Jin's recovery going?"
Jiang Yanwan replied calmly: "Prince Jin's condition is improving, but he will need more time and treatment to fully recover."
Prince Qing nodded slowly, then said coldly: "Very good, but I need you to do something now."
Jiang Yanwan's heart tightened, and she asked, "What does Prince Qing want?"
Prince Qing took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with a cold light: "I need you to add a special potion to Prince Jin's medicine that can control his consciousness."
Jiang Yanwan's face suddenly changed when she heard this: "Prince Qing, this will have a great impact on Prince Jin's recovery!"
Prince Qing sneered: "I know, but this is an order. If you don't do it, you will bear the consequences."
Jiang Yanwan's mind raced, and she pretended to obey on the surface: "Understood, I will do as King Qing ordered."
Prince Qing nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, this way, I can ensure the loyalty of Prince Jin."
After Prince Qing left, Jiang Yanwan felt uneasy. She knew that Prince Qing's move meant the situation was more complicated and dangerous. She had to find a way out as soon as possible, but she couldn't violate medical ethics and hurt Prince Jin.
In the dead of night, Jiang Yanwan was reading a medical book in her room when she suddenly heard a slight knock on the window. She was startled and quickly walked to the window, carefully opening a crack.
Wu Junyao was standing outside the window, motioning for her to come out. She was delighted, quickly put on her coat, and quietly jumped out of the window.
"Jun Yao, why are you here?" Jiang Yanwan asked in a low voice.
Wu Junyao said in a serious tone, "I received your message and know that the situation is urgent. We have planned a raid and will act tonight."
A glimmer of hope flashed in Jiang Yanwan's eyes: "Okay, we must leave here as soon as possible."
