Rebirth of the High Family's Beloved

Upon hearing this, Yan Ci and Xie Chengyin were both puzzled.

Cong Xi, who had been standing aside and had not spoken since Shen Zhaoyong woke up, said, "He is right. His time is up and he is powerless."

Yan Ci gave Congxi a cold look, and Congxi tactfully kept silent.

He is telling the truth.

They all don't believe him because he looks young. As the saying goes, a person of low status has little influence. He is a person of low status with little influence.

Shen Zhaoyong turned around and glanced at Jiang Yun beside him. He knew that it was inappropriate for them to talk here, so he raised his hand and waved to Rong Jing, "Help me sit outside. It will disturb Ah Yun's peace here."

Rong Jing and Yan Ci supported Shen Zhaoyong on both sides as they walked out of the inner hall and sat on the soft couch in the outer room. Rong Jing considerately put two pillows under his back, trying to make him more comfortable.

He raised his hand and asked Yan Ci and Xie Chengyin to sit down beside him. Cong Xi also sat down below, leaving only Rong Jing standing beside Shen Zhaoyong.

Shen Zhaoyong looked at Congxi and asked, "What is the name of this young gentleman who saved me?"

Congxi, who was sitting at the end, was stunned for a moment, and a smug smile appeared on his face. "Your Highness, just call me Congxi. I am not a young master. I am already seventy years old."

Shen Zhaoyong was surprised, "Young... Master, you are seventy?"

Cong Xi chuckled and said, "That's right."

Yan Ci waved his hand, "Cousin, don't listen to his nonsense. He is just a young boy. I originally asked his master to come and treat your illness, but who knew that the old one didn't come, and the young one came instead."

Shen Zhaoyong covered his mouth and chuckled, looking as if he understood what was going on.

Before Cong Xi could explain a few more words, Yan Ci interrupted him.

"Cousin, tell me quickly, what did you mean by that?"

Shen Zhao said to Yongzheng, "Just as Mr. Cong said, my time is coming to an end. My health has been up and down over the years, and I have been lingering on for more than ten years. Since Ayun married into the East Palace, I feel much better than before. I thought I was really getting better, but I didn't expect it to be a last gasp."

"No, according to my examination, your health has indeed improved, but your current condition is due to the accumulation of toxins in your body over the years, which has finally damaged your foundation."

"Poisoned?" Yan Ci and Xie Chengyin looked at Cong Xi at the same time.

Rong Jing couldn't believe it, "It's impossible. Your Highness has had people try everything he eats every day. How could he be poisoned?"

"Poison is something that cannot be avoided just because someone has tried it. Anything you touch or breathe can poison you without you even realizing it. And looking at the Crown Prince's body, this poison is not something that has been there overnight. I'm afraid it was there when he was born."

The four people in the room were all shocked. If what Congxi said was true, then there must be another reason why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was born weak.

But what kind of poison could have been administered silently for more than 20 years without anyone noticing?

But now it doesn’t make much sense to investigate what happened more than 20 years ago. What’s important is how to provide treatment.

"How can it be cured?"

Cong Xi still said what he said before, "You can save someone temporarily, but you can't save them forever."

Shen Zhaoyong seemed to have known the result. He had a calm smile on his face. He thought he would go with Jiang Yun today, but he didn't expect that he could live for a few more days.

It seems that God has given him the opportunity to avenge Ayun with his own hands.

He cupped his hands and said, "Sir, could you please help me check Ayun's body to see if it also shows any signs of being poisoned?"

Cong Xi frowned and thought about the woman who had just been lying next to Shen Zhaoyong. Her face was pale and she was in obvious pain. She must have suffered great pain before her death.

But her situation was different from Shen Zhaoyong's. Cong Xi pondered for a moment, stood up and said, "I need to go in and check it in detail."

"Please sir."

Congxi entered the inner hall, and Yan Ci continued to ask Shen Zhaoyong about the cause of Jiang Yun's death.

Even if Shen Zhaoyong didn't want to mention it, he knew that only revenge for Jiang Yun would be the greatest comfort to her, and there was only a limit to what he could do with his crippled body.

He needs the help of Yan Ci and Xie Chengyin, so he must tell the truth.

"Ayun has been in a bad mood since her miscarriage, but she has been much better after a few days of recuperation. But suddenly one day, she fell asleep and never got up again. I summoned the imperial physician to check, but he only said that it was because of the depression of heart energy after the miscarriage, coupled with too much loss, that she passed away suddenly."

Yan Ci had too many questions in mind. How could a person die in his sleep? Moreover, Jiang Yun had always been in good health. She had been on the battlefield with her for a year, and she had never heard that she had any old illness.

Apart from the miscarriage, Jiang Yun had never suffered any injuries, so how could she die suddenly?

Yan Ci and Xie Chengyin looked at each other, their thoughts coming out. Since he had poisoned the prince for more than ten years, Jiang Yun might not be able to avoid it.

Although there were guesses in their minds, no one dared to draw a conclusion. They had to wait for Congxi's examination to be confirmed.

After a while, Cong Xi walked out from the inner hall with a silver needle in his hand, and white liquid at the tip.

"The Crown Princess was not poisoned, but I found a dead Heart-Eating Gu in her body."

"insanity!"

Yan Ci was shocked. This was the second kind of Gu she had heard of. Before, it was the mother-and-child Gu on Ding Si's body, and now it was the heart-eating Gu. How could something from the Witch Clan appear in the Daxing Palace?

"You didn't make a mistake?"

Hearing Yan Ci's doubt, Zong Xi's face fell immediately, "You can doubt my character, but you can't doubt my medical skills and witchcraft. I have been practicing medicine for fifty years and have treated at least a thousand and eight hundred people. Besides, I am a witch..."

Cong Xi suddenly stopped talking, and seeing that the others didn't notice his sudden stop, he felt relieved, "Just trust me. With the Crown Princess's Heart-Eating Gu, I can conclude that the Crown Prince's poison is also a type of Gu poison."

Yan Ci's eyes lit up when Cong Xi said this, "If it is a poison, then I can cure it."

Xie Chengyin and Shen Zhaoyong looked at Yan Ci together and asked in unison: "How do you solve it?"

Yan Ci said: "My..." blood can cure all poisons.

Cong Xi spoke first, "I can cure it, but with the prince's current health, even if the poison is cured, he still won't live long."

Because the poison had already penetrated into Shen Zhaoyong's lungs, detoxification was just a temporary solution.

Shen Zhaoyong didn't care. "It doesn't matter. Even if it's only a few days, it's enough. I just want to make sure the people who hurt Ayun receive the punishment they deserve."

He bowed to Yan Ci and Xie Chengyin and said, "Please ask my cousin and A Yin to help me find out the truth and avenge A Yun."

"We will."

When Xiao Lingzi came back after decocting the medicine, he saw Rong Jing supporting the Crown Prince towards the inner hall, while Young Marquis Xie and the two people he brought with him had already left.

He placed the medicine bowl on the table and left, not daring to disturb them any further for fear of being punished again.

At this time, Xie Chengyin and the other two, who had already left the palace, got on a carriage and headed towards the marquis's mansion.

Cong Xi leaned in a corner, dozing with his eyes closed.
