Chapter 1906: Success (Part 4)

The Crown Prince nodded, "Come on."

A knife cut through his middle finger, and bright red blood immediately flowed out, turning the water basin bright red.

The Crown Prince sucked in a breath of cold air, his entire body shivered for a moment. It was incredibly painful, yet he didn’t utter a single sound.

"This won’t do. If it continues like this, the Crown Prince will lose too much blood and die," Hen Yizheng looked at the increasingly red water basin, frowning.

Yang Ruxin also frowned, looking at the Crown Prince’s paling complexion. It seemed water wouldn’t work, so... would it be better to apply some ointment?

However, at that moment, a small bulge suddenly appeared on the Crown Prince’s forehead.

"It’s moving," Yang Ruxin’s eyes lit up, "Crown Prince, hold on just a bit longer."

The Crown Prince leaned on the Crown Princess Consort, feeling somewhat faint, but still nodded slightly.

The Crown Princess Consort held the Crown Prince tightly, biting her lip hard to keep from crying aloud.

Fortunately, once that small bulge started moving, it moved quickly, down along the nose, chin, neck... quickly reaching the arm, then moving down to the wrist, where something black, like a tadpole, jumped into the bloodwater.

Yang Ruxin scooped it up with a small porcelain bottle in her hand, successfully capturing the "little tadpole," and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Hen Bingwen had already treated the Crown Prince’s wound at the first opportunity and checked his pulse, discovering that it had indeed steadied significantly.

However, due to excessive blood loss, the Crown Prince was not only pale but also a bit faint.

"Xinxin," Hen Bingwen, who had been getting along with Yang Ruxin quite well lately, called her by her nickname, "Should we prescribe some tonic herbs for the Crown Prince?"

"No need, a dietary remedy is best," Yang Ruxin shook her head, "The Crown Prince is just a bit weak. Drinking some red date porridge or pig liver soup is enough, and it would be best if he stayed in bed and rested a lot these next few days..." She handed a porcelain bottle to the Crown Princess Consort, "This potion should be given to the Crown Prince over three days, and he’ll be as lively as a dragon in no time..."

Hen Bingwen’s eyes lit up at the porcelain bottle, but this was not the time to make any requests.

Yang Ruxin called Du Juan in and asked her to find a secure spot to bury the basin of blood deep in the ground.

"Xinxin, I have a favor to ask," the Crown Princess Consort grabbed Yang Ruxin’s hand, "Look at my condition, it’s been so many years, and I’ve never..." Her face flushed red.

Yang Ruxin didn’t refuse, and used her special abilities to examine both the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess Consort. They were both fine; the previous infertility was due to the poison. However, since the toxins had just been cleared, it would be best to conceive after six months.

In just two days, from the Crown Prince’s critical condition to his now being declared recovered, it truly felt like two worlds. It brought joy to some and worry to others.

"Yang Ruxin, you’ve saved Daxuan," Emperor Xuanjing laughed as he looked at Yang Ruxin after visiting the Crown Prince, "Tell me, what reward would you like?"

"It’s all thanks to the Emperor’s great fortune that the Crown Prince was able to avoid disaster," Yang Ruxin didn’t dare take credit. She hurriedly shook her head, "Besides, as subjects of the Emperor, isn’t this what we’re supposed to do? So, Your Majesty, what I want most now is to go back and sleep..."

"Haha..." Emperor Xuanjing was quite pleased by her words and laughed heartily, "Eunuch Ping, see that Xinxin is escorted back personally."
