Chapter 243: Chapter 232: The Crown Prince’s Wedding Approaches—He Can’t Fall Ill Before the Ceremony

Mage De Hong listened to the man in black and nodded indifferently, "If we can achieve this, it couldn’t be better. How is the Emperor of Da Qin now?" Upon hearing this, the man in black immediately reported, "Sir, the Emperor of Da Qin has successfully contracted the plague. Once the Imperial Physicians are at their wits’ end, you can step in."

By then, the Emperor of Da Qin, having been pulled back from the brink of death, will inevitably regard the master as a savior. The master can then take the opportunity to openly utilize Royal Family resources to enhance his reputation for benevolence and solve the plague.

In this way, the saved citizens will develop deep gratitude and admiration for the master.

The master can then seize the chance to gather a substantial amount of merit.

Mage De Hong was pleased and responded with a satisfied hum after the man in black finished speaking.

However, the two of them were completely unaware that no matter how long they waited, they would have no chance to enter the palace to save Feng Qingyang or gain his gratitude.

For at that moment, Feng Qingyang had already been given a shot of penicillin by the experienced Imperial Physician Ming.

As the needle pierced his skin, Feng Qingyang furrowed his brows slightly and asked Imperial Physician Ming, "Old Ming, is this medicine truly effective?"

Why did he feel that this method of administering the antidote was somewhat strange?

And it was also quite painful.

But the only benefit might be that he no longer had to drink those bitter medicines.

...

Upon hearing Feng Qingyang’s concern, Imperial Physician Ming immediately said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. This medicine has been personally tested by Prime Minister Bai. If it were ineffective, how could this old official dare to use it on you? Rest assured, based on Prime Minister Bai’s situation, the medicine should take effect in no more than three days. By then, you will see its effects."

Only then did Feng Qingyang nod.

He still trusted Prime Minister Bai.

Subsequently, Feng Qingyang, feeling somewhat fatigued, waved his hand and said, "I understand, all of you may leave."

"Yes, Your Majesty, this old official takes his leave." Imperial Physician Ming and the other Imperial Physicians bowed and withdrew, turning to leave the Yangxin Hall.

After Imperial Physician Ming and the others had left, Feng Qingyang narrowed his eyes and looked toward Li Cheng.

"When did Bai Susu become so formidable? Even when the Imperial Physicians of the Imperial Hospital couldn’t do anything, she managed to achieve this in such a short amount of time?" Feng Qingyang said gravely.

As Feng Qingyang’s close attendant, who had witnessed all his scheming, Li Cheng naturally could guess the real intent behind Feng Qingyang’s words.

The Emperor wasn’t praising Bai Susu’s abilities; he was clearly worried that such a formidable Bai Susu, if she were to side with the Crown Prince, would add wings to the Crown Prince, making him even stronger.

So Li Cheng quickly whispered, "Your Majesty, I don’t think there’s anything strange about this. Young people naturally have agile minds. Moreover, as Imperial Physician Ming said, Miss Bai is indeed a medical genius. Her ability to concoct an antidote indicates she truly learned genuine skills from Imperial Physician Ming, and she is indeed talented."

Upon hearing this, Feng Qingyang coldly muttered, "The Crown Prince is indeed fortunate to casually select a woman who turned out to be so exceptional."

He suddenly regretted granting the marriage between the Crown Prince and Bai Susu.

Such an outstanding woman, if married to the Crown Prince and then died, would indeed be a loss.

At this moment, Li Cheng quickly said, "Miss Bai was personally raised and taught by Prime Minister Bai. Naturally, she is extremely exceptional. At the time, the Crown Prince probably noticed this, which is why he publicly requested Your Majesty to grant the marriage. However, no matter how exceptional she is, she is ultimately just a woman. Without Prime Minister Bai’s protection, how useful could she be? If she weren’t Prime Minister Bai’s granddaughter, even if she found the antidote, the achievement might not have belonged to her."

Upon hearing this, Feng Qingyang’s expression relaxed indeed.

These words made sense.

No matter how clever and outstanding Bai Susu is, she is just a woman.

If he hadn’t considered Prime Minister Bai’s face and refrained from directly taking Bai Susu’s achievements, who would know today that Bai Susu discovered the antidote to the plague?

Most importantly, Prime Minister Bai is on his side.

Bai Susu wouldn’t dare defect without Prime Minister Bai’s consent!

And at this moment, Li Cheng lowered his voice again, "Moreover, I think, the better Miss Bai becomes at medicine, the more capable she will be in aiding Your Majesty."

"Oh?" Feng Qingyang glanced at Li Cheng.

"Your Majesty has always been concerned about the Crown Prince’s madness, right? Since Miss Bai is so talented in medicine, wouldn’t she be able to monitor the Crown Prince’s condition closely for you?"

"Should the Crown Prince’s condition relapse, you would know immediately, wouldn’t you?" Li Cheng had an expression as if he were considering everything for the Crown Prince’s sake.

Feng Qingyang instantly laughed.

"You are quite right, the Crown Prince’s condition has always been unstable. If Bai Susu can stay by his side, she would definitely be able to detect the Crown Prince’s condition promptly." Feng Qingyang’s tone lightened up.

Moreover, the better Bai Susu becomes at medicine, the easier it would be for her to poison the Crown Prince if necessary.

If Bai Susu dared disobey his orders?

Then she could not blame him for being ruthless.

The next moment, Feng Qingyang called for a Hidden Guard expressionlessly.

He then coldly ordered, "The Crown Prince’s wedding is imminent. We cannot have him falling ill before the ceremony. Prepare a dose of calming medicine to ensure the wedding proceeds smoothly!"

Upon hearing this, the Hidden Guard promptly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty." And then vanished from Feng Qingyang’s sight.

Seeing this, Li Cheng couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart, although his expression remained unchanged.

He knew very well what the calming medicine the Emperor mentioned was all about.

The Crown Prince’s sudden madness and transformation into someone insane were related to this medicine.

If another dose of this poison were administered, no one knew how severe the Crown Prince’s madness would become.

However, according to those who compounded the potion, after several doses of this poison... it was highly likely the Crown Prince would become a simpleton.

It seemed the Emperor’s apprehension toward the Crown Prince was escalating.

Otherwise, he would not resort to using such a drug on the Crown Prince again.

...

Bai Susu initially assumed that after introducing penicillin, Feng Qingyang would immediately order the use of medicine on those infected.

But she didn’t anticipate that Feng Qingyang would not publicize the antidote’s existence and instead watched as many people’s conditions worsened.

For a moment, Bai Susu couldn’t help but become worried.

"Shu Kuang, what do you think Feng Qingyang is planning? Could he be trying to profit substantially from this medicine?" Bai Susu couldn’t help but look towards Feng Qiwu, who appeared under the cover of night.

After all, such things were not beyond possibility.

In the face of life and death, those wealthy envoys would surely be willing to pay a fortune to survive.

Upon hearing Bai Susu’s words, Feng Qiwu shook his head, "That’s not it."

"Hmm?"

"Now that he has the antidote, and his health has improved, he naturally no longer fears the plague, but others’ conditions worsen the longer it’s delayed."

"If he released a dose of the antidote when people’s lives were hanging by a thread, would those people not feel grateful to him?"

Feng Qingyang wasn’t after wealth but rather sought favors from high-ranking officials of various countries.

Favors, unlike money, hold unparalleled value.
