Chapter 249 The story of the boy who cried wolf
Yongqi didn't come back to his senses until Liu Qing walked out of the box and the door was heavily closed.
After a long time, he slapped himself hard.
It turned out that Xiaoyanzi had suffered so much without his knowledge!
He is so damned!
Suddenly thinking of something, Yongqi rushed out of the courtyard and climbed onto the carriage.
"Go back to the palace!"
He wanted to find Doctor Chang, who would definitely have a way to save Xiaoyanzi.
In the imperial pharmacy, Chang Shou was fiddling with his pile of herbs. Yong Qi pulled Chang Shou out without saying a word.
"Hey hey hey! Fifth Prince, what are you doing?"
Chang Shou was dragged so hard that he staggered several times and could only jog to catch up with the Fifth Prince.
Yongqi quickened his pace, almost jogging, "Doctor Chang, Xiaoyanzi is in critical condition and needs your help."
"Xiaoyanzi? Didn't she leave the palace? What happened?" Chang Shou blinked his eyes and reacted a little slowly.
"Xiaoyanzi has suffered severe internal injuries for some reason. The lesions are beginning to show, and the situation is not optimistic. No doctor outside can cure her, so I can only rely on you."
Seeing that the Fifth Prince was about to throw him into the carriage without saying a word, Chang Shou grabbed the door frame.
"Fifth Prince, it's not that I don't want to go. It's just that I'm the imperial physician. I can't leave the palace without a token. Do you have one?"
This made Yongqi anxious and confused. "Then wait, I will go to ask the emperor for it."
Looking at Yongqi's impetuous look, Chang Shou sighed.
Why are these people still like this, acting impulsively and making exaggerated movements?
Chang Shou suddenly thought of Benjamin. He remembered that when Xiaoyanzi first entered the palace, Benjamin had been dragged to save Xiaoyanzi many times. Each time it was a matter of life and death, but in the end, he only encountered minor bumps and bruises.
Make a fuss.
I don’t know what’s going on this time.
Benjamin doesn't know what's going on with his foreign friend now, and he doesn't know if he can still attend this guy's wedding.
It was seen that when Xiaoyanzi first entered the palace, both Benjamin and the Fifth Prince were very attentive to her, but in the end one left and the other was about to get married.
The target is not Xiaoyanzi.
Chang Shou really couldn't understand this group of young people.
When the Fifth Prince rushed to the Yangxin Palace, he was told that the Emperor had already gone to the Cining Palace for dinner with the Crown Prince and his wife.
Suddenly Yongqi remembered that today was the second day of Yongheng's wedding and they should have a family dinner.
Yongqi hesitated for a moment, an inexplicable sense of pride taking over. He didn't want to beg the Emperor and Empress Dowager in front of Yongheng's family.
He still remembered the humiliation he suffered at the gate of Cining Palace when he was first granted marriage.
Never think about it again.
After thinking about it, the only person I can ask for help is my mother.
Yongqi turned and ran towards Yonghe Palace.
"Mother! Please give me a token quickly so I can take Doctor Chang out of the palace."
Concubine Yu was pruning branches and was puzzled when she heard this: "Why are you leaving the palace? Besides, you should go to your father-in-law for this matter."
"Mother, the Emperor doesn't have time to take care of me. Human life is at stake. Xiaoyanzi is sick, and I have to go save her."
When she heard that Xiaoyanzi needed to be rescued, Concubine Yu stopped cutting the branches.
For a moment, Concubine Yu thought a lot. As a concubine, she could naturally give her token to Yongqi to let him take people out.
But Xiaoyanzi is involved again.
Looking at her son's anxious face, Concubine Yu was filled with doubts.
Her son was no longer the obedient and well-behaved son he used to be. Instead of asking the emperor to take the imperial physician out of the palace, he came to her.
There are two possibilities: one is that she has been rejected by the emperor and is using her as a shield; the other is that Xiaoyanzi's condition may not be urgent.
Because of Yongqi, Concubine Yu had learned everything about Xiaoyanzi's deeds after she entered the palace. It was obvious that this person was a liar who kept getting into trouble, and Yongqi also learned to lie and get into trouble.
It’s not that Concubine Yu really doesn’t trust Yongqi, it’s just that she has heard the story of the boy who cried wolf too many times.
So Concubine Yu concluded that Yongqi was lying.
I guess Xiaoyanzi got hurt again and Yongqi made a fuss about it.
Even Concubine Yu was secretly wondering whether Xiaoyanzi was annoyed that Yongqi had never come to see her, so she deliberately made trouble and forced Yongqi to do so.
The more Concubine Yu thought about it, the more she felt it was possible, and her face became serious.
"Are you lying? Is it because your royal father doesn't agree that you come to me to ask for the token? If it were anything else, it would be fine, but not this one."
Hearing his mother suspect him of lying as soon as he opened his mouth, Yongqi felt aggrieved and raised his voice.
"Mother! I want to save Xiaoyanzi! It's okay that you're prejudiced against her, but how can you delay something that involves human life? How can you doubt me like this!"
In Concubine Yu's view, this behavior was a sign of guilt after being caught lying.
She couldn't help but have some things to do, so she said she wanted to stay away from Xiaoyanzi. Look, her son, who had been so well-behaved a few days ago, became like this after seeing Xiaoyanzi once. If she was allowed to enter Yongqi's backyard, Yongqi would be finished sooner or later.
"Then tell me! What is wrong with her that the doctors outside can't treat? What is wrong with her that happened to her just because you left the palace today? Tell me!"
Yongqi was impatient: "Xiaoyanzi has been ill for a long time. The doctors outside couldn't cure her. She is already very weak. I only found out when I left the palace this time that she has internal injuries."
She also suffered internal injuries. Concubine Yu sneered, thinking she was a female knight in the martial arts world.
"You're still injured. You lied and didn't choose a better one."
Seeing that Concubine Yu was unmoved, Yongqi knelt down and said, "Mother, Xiaoyanzi is more important than my life. If you don't let me bring the imperial physician to save her today, I will not be able to survive."
Seeing Yongqi acting like a madman, as if he didn't care about anyone except Xiaoyanzi, Concubine Yu felt a little sad.
How come her son became like this after getting involved with Xiaoyanzi?
"It's okay. You are everything to me. If you die, I won't live alone."
Hearing what Concubine Yu said, Yongqi almost shed tears.
Mother is always like this. She makes him feel her love and care for him, but at the same time, she hurts him with her so-called love all the time. He is trapped by this love and can neither escape nor break away from it.
"Mother, one last question. Will you save Xiaoyanzi or not?"
Concubine Yu was not moved at all and said calmly, "As I said before, if you have the ability, go and ask your father for help. Forcing your mother is not a big deal."
Concubine Yu has already determined that Yongqi is lying, so she has to keep calm. If the situation is really dangerous, then let the emperor bring people to verify it. After all, it is not her business as a concubine.
Yongqi was completely disappointed with Concubine Yu. Even if he hated Xiaoyanzi, he shouldn't be so heartless when human lives were at stake.
"Mother, you are so cold-hearted, don't you really have a guilty conscience? Also, I want to tell you, when I rescue Xiaoyanzi, I will marry her even if it costs me my life! I won't care about anyone anymore! Including you, mother!"
Hearing that Yongqi hadn't given up on marrying Xiaoyanzi, Concubine Yu slammed the table fiercely and said, "I think you really don't know the importance of things and what's good for you. You're not going to leave Yonghe Palace anymore!"
After saying that, she signaled the guards to come forward and capture Yongqi.
But Yongqi had anticipated this and dodged the crowd and rushed towards the Cining Palace.
