Bab 25: Poison (3)
Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
Jun Qing immediately lost his smile and shook his head. "Tsk. The only person who can tolerate this temper of yours is only Brother, do not forget, that child is…she is the child of the man whom you swore your fealty to. If one day Father and I are no longer around,she will be in your….."
Before he could finish his sentence, an uncomfortable itch was felt as if someone was sawing his bones with a blunt knife and he hunched over as this feeling started to spread to every single bone in his body.
"Master!" The man looked worriedly at the pale faced Jun Qing.
Jun Qing's poison from that time had yet to be fully purged and the residual toxicity had penetrated deep into the bone marrow, even the famed Yun Qing Clan's Sovereign had failed to neutralise it. Over the years, Jun Qing had been very cautious right down to his diet. He was fine just a moment ago and was still rebuking him, why did he suddenly…?
He suddenly thought of something.
"That lotus seed? But how could it be?"
No matter how much he disliked Jun Wu Xie, the blood of the Jun family still flowed within her, that's why when she had approached Jun Qing just now, he did not have any apprehension towards her. How could it have been her?
Jun Qing clenched his teeth tightly as he felt the itch slowly became an indescribable pain. It was as if they were slowly being crushed and the overwhelming pain swept over him as he broke out in cold sweat.
As the man watched Jun Qing's condition worsen by each passing moment, he quickly lifted Jun Qing up with his wheelchair and rushed back to the room.
All these was not relayed to Jun Wu Xue. She was cooped up in her pharmacy researching. She had not given it a second thought as she had personally gone through the bone cleansing process and although it was not the most comfortable experience, it was still manageable in her opinion.
However, what she did not know was that the cleansing of a regular human bone and one that had been poisoned had a totally different effect.
In a different courtyard, at this moment Jun Qing was suffering from an excruciating pain, as if a thousand knives were hacking away at his bones. An emergency summon for all the capable doctors of the State to quickly head over to Lin Palace to treat him.
However, all the doctors were helpless in their diagnosed as Jun Qing lay on his bed as his body temperature soared, as his body kept twitching and soon the sweat soaked through the sheets. The sweat expelled also carried a faint black smelly substance.
This scene scared the wits out of the group of doctors who knelt at the bedside quivering.
Jun Xian had received the news and rushed back to see his son lying on the bed, complexion as white as sheet. His condition did not look optimistic and it was as if he had one leg in the grave already.
Jun Xian broke out in cold sweat as he roared, "What the hell happened?!" A pair of bloodshot eyes was staring viciously at the doctors kneeling by the bed.
"Th..thi..this humble one…does not know how .. How his blood flow is in chaos and the poison in his bone marrow suddenly spread..spread to wh..whole body. Thi..this humble one really tried my best… Lin Wang please have mercy!" The group of doctors all cried for mercy as they all had the same diagnosis- Jun Qing did not have long to live!
This bolt of information almost made Jun Xian faint as he steadied himself.
Was his last son going to die?
No!
This can't be happening!
He immediately rushed over to the Royal Palace, intending to seek out Bai Yun Xian as she is Qing Yun Clan's Sovereign's disciple. To his dismay, Bai Yun Xian had refused audience with anyone saying that she was still frightened from the attack and was still recuperating.
He immediately stormed into the Grand Hall to seek an audience with the Emperor instead. His Majesty was placed in a difficult situation and as he did not have much of a choice, he could only watch on helplessly as he saw Jun Xian lead all the Imperial Doctors in the Royal Palace back to Lin Palace to assist with the treatment.
Bab 26: Poison (4)
Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
For one whole day and night, Jun Qing was lying on the bed hanging over the verge of death, all the doctors that came and took his pulse all had the same worried expression, all had the single verdict – Jun Qing was one step away from death's door.
Jun Xian seemed to have aged ten years overnight as he sat by his son as he waved his hands and asked them all to return to the palace. He sat there sadly as he buried his face in his hands.
........
"Is that true?" The Emperor who was seated in the study was listening to the doctor who was reporting Jun Qing's situation to him, his face void of any expression as he listened solemnly.
"This humble one does not dare lie. Jun Qing's poison has indeed acted up and the poison has attacked the heart." The doctor reported truthfully.
"That's a pity, order for the Snow Mountain Ginseng and the Red Lingzhi to be sent over to Lin Palace." The Emperor was feeling very generous, both the Snow Mountain Ginseng and the Red Lingzhi are rare herbs that was used to prolong life and it was apparent to everyone that Jun Qing has not much longer to live.
"Yes, your Majesty."
"Withdraw" The Emperor waved his hand.
When the doctor left, the Emperor leaned back in his chair as he went through all the various scrolls on the desk, a small smile could be seen.
........
In the Lin Palace was overshadowed with gloom as Jun Qing lay on his bed motionless, his breathing was very weak.
Jun Xian sat by his side with red eyes.
"Why did this suddenly happen? You were alright all these years, why did the poison suddenly flare up?" Jun Xian could not understand, all these years his condition had been stable, what could have triggered it?
The man standing by the side had on a solemn expression as he clenched his fist tightly.
"Has any suspicious personnel entered the Palace lately?" Jun Xian asked with a deep frown.
The man shook his head as he looked over at Jun Qing lying on the bed, his heart was struggling internally. Before Jun Qing fainted, he had specifically told him not to tell anyone that Jun Wu Xie was there before. No matter what had happened, he believed from the bottom of his heart that Jun Wu Xie would not hurt him. He simply took it as his life was going to end a little sooner that's all. He did not want to implicate his niece into anyone's grand scheme to throw the Lin Palace into further turmoil.
But now all the doctors have diagnosed that he did not have much time left. Did he have to hide this forever?The man was conflicted, if it was anyone else, he would have directly interrogated them but the perpetrator was Jun Wu Xie!
If Jun Qing really died, Lin Palace had no more future.
"This…what happened here?" a puzzled voice suddenly sounded.
The man and Jun Xian both turned to look at the same time as they saw Jun Wu Xie carrying a black cat in her arms, with a quizzical expression at the doorway.
"Wu Xie...…" Jun Xian's husky voice was full of sorrow.
The man clenched his trembling fist and choked back the words he wanted to say.
"Your uncle has been poisoned." Jun Xian slowly broke it to her as he closed his eyes in despair.
Poisoned? Jun Wu Xie was slightly surprised when she heard this. She immediately went to the bed ignoring the surprised Jun Xian and man as she took Jun Qing's pulse.
His pulse was very weak, barely discernable. Jun Qing's face was pale and covered with sweat mixed with a dark substance. All these fit the description of being poisoned.
If it was others, they would have concluded it as severe poisoning however, who was Jun Wu Xie? She had immediately found something different.
Although Jun Qing's pulse was weak, it was also very stable.
Jun Wu Xie immediately pulled off the quilt and removed the pillow.
"Wu Xie, what are you doing?!"
"Uncle is fine." Jun Wu Xie's mind was focused on the treatment and did not know how her sudden actions and words had impacted the rest who were standing there with their mouth agape.
