Chapter 289 Soul
After Lu Xuan's words came out, the prince's eyes trembled suddenly.
However, in just a moment, it returned to its previous clumsy and slow state.
Jiang Xing shouted in the hall: "Someone come!"
Immediately, a eunuch with rosy cheeks walked in, his voice as if someone had strangled him by the throat.
"Your Majesty."
"Are you the eunuch in charge of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
The eunuch bowed his head and replied, "Yes. Your servant Bai He pays his respects to the prince!"
Jiang Xing's voice was tense, and he was suppressing the murderous aura that was about to burst out. "How long has the prince been in this state? Have you informed the emperor?"
Bai He shook his whisk, wiped the sweat off his face, and said carefully, "Ever since Concubine Yun poisoned the Crown Prince a year ago, his health has been getting worse day by day. Over the past year or so, I couldn't bear to see him. He has become so thin that his bones are visible. The Emperor also knows this..."
Bai He almost couldn't help crying.
Jiang Xing felt that the crying sound was even more unpleasant than the crow's cry, and a hint of annoyance appeared between his brows.
"But I heard that the poison in the prince's body has been cured, right?"
After Ah Xuan got involved in the matter of Concubine Yun's wronged spirit, he sent people to investigate. Feixing reported that the people in the East Palace at that time said that the poison of the prince had been cured.
Feixing was also staring at Bai He at this time. He had come to the Eastern Palace in person because another eunuch had told him so.
Bai He nodded while crying, "Yes, it was solved before. But we servants don't know why His Highness is still like this, getting worse day by day..."
"Have you asked the imperial physician to take a look?" Jiang Xing didn't want to drag it out, and his voice was a little hurried.
"Yes, the imperial physician comes every day. But the medicine never works..."
As soon as Lu Xuan saw the eunuch in charge's pointed face and monkey cheeks, he felt that he was not a kind person with good intentions.
In particular, after Bai He came in just now, the prince's hand suddenly retracted inward.
She immediately felt something was wrong.
This subconscious action is the reaction when seeing someone you fear.
How could he, the crown prince, be afraid of a eunuch in charge?!
Something must have happened behind the scenes.
"Well, the prince and I haven't seen the prince for a long time. We want to have a good talk with him and see how his condition can be cured. You can go down first."
Lu Xuan didn't have a good impression of Bai He, so naturally he lacked some patience.
Looking at the prince's appearance, I just wanted to drive him away quickly.
"Yes, I'll take my leave..."
Bai He glanced at Nanny Lan beside Jiang Xing, bowed his head and retreated.
Lu Xuan came here today because he was thinking about the negative energy in the East Palace, so he brought several talismans with him.
So as soon as Bai He left, he took it out immediately.
Jiang Xing felt a little lost since he saw the prince like this.
Seeing Lu Xuan take out the talisman, he immediately asked, "What is the use of this talisman? Can it cure the poison in Yan'er?"
The emperor's sister-in-law handed the prince to him.
Fifteen years ago, he failed to agree to let her take him away.
Now, fifteen years later, seeing him for the first time is so heartbreaking.
If the Empress's sister-in-law knew about this, she would definitely blame him.
Lu Xuan had long seen through Jiang Xing's inner worries and patted his hands in comfort: "This is a talisman that cures all diseases, and the other is a health talisman. These two will cure any poison he has."
Jiang Xing nodded, his face filled with cold anger. "It seems that the palace hasn't detoxified Yan'er for more than a year, and it's been delayed for so long..."
Seeing Jiang Xing's anxious look, Lu Xuan shook his head. "No. When the prince sent people to investigate, the prince must have been cured of the poison."
"Since the prince came to inquire, he must have been poisoned again."
"I'll use these two talismans to remove the poison for him first, and then I'll deal with the more troublesome matter later."
Jiang Xing wanted to ask her something, but because saving people was the most important thing, he swallowed the words in his throat.
When Nanny Lan heard that Lu Xuan could detoxify the prince, she was so happy that she couldn't wipe away her tears. She couldn't say anything and could only kneel on the ground and kowtow.
Although she didn't really believe in the spells and mysterious arts that the princess had told her before, as long as it was useful to the prince, she was willing to believe it!
And most importantly, the princess is the queen's sister.
Aunt, you will never harm your nephew!
Jiang Xing signaled to Feixing and quickly helped Nanny Lan up.
Lu Xuan also nodded at her, telling her to rest assured.
She put two fingers together and whispered the incantation.
Before Nanny Lan could clearly see the yellow talisman in the princess's hand, she saw two yellow talismans standing upright, as if obeying someone's instructions, and standing on Lu Xuan's fingers.
Then he pointed in the direction of her finger, two golden lights flashed, and two yellow talismans immediately flew towards the prince.
In just a blink of an eye, the two talismans disappeared from the prince's body without a trace.
Seeing this unbelievable scene, Nanny Lan's eyes almost fell out, and she believed it even though she didn't want to.
Lu Xuan chanted the seal spell for another cup of tea, and soon, the prince opened his mouth.
Everyone was carefully observing his every move, and they saw him trying very hard to say to Lu Xuan, "A Xuan, I'm hungry."
When Nanny Lan heard this, the huge stone in her heart seemed to shatter with a bang.
Her tears flowed like a floodgate, her lips trembled, and she couldn't speak clearly because of her excitement: "Okay, okay, I'm hungry. Being hungry means being healthy, right..."
Receiving Lu Xuan's affirmative gaze, she wiped away her tears and immediately went to pick up the fish soup beside her.
But unexpectedly, he was stopped by Jiang Xing.
"It's not certain whether it's poisonous or not, don't give it to him."
Then he glanced at Feixing again and said, "Go to the carriage and get the dry food we brought to fill Yan'er's stomach."
"Yes!"
Feixing turned around and walked out the door. Nanny Lan looked at the bowl of fish soup in her hand, her mouth wide open for a long time.
Surprisingly, there is something wrong with my daily diet!
Her heart was filled with hatred. She took a few quick steps and threw the food in her hand out of the house.
"If the prince and princess hadn't come today, I wouldn't have known that the prince had been poisoned! Even the food around him couldn't be completely safe!"
Jiang Xing took a deep breath, murderous intent surging in his eyes. "I'm late. I didn't know this East Palace had already belonged to someone else!"
Seeing that the prince wanted to eat, Lu Xuan knew that his talisman had taken effect.
Then he looked at Jiang Xing and said, "Now that the poison has been removed, it's not over yet."
"He's lost his spirit, which must have happened in the last few months. It's because of this spirit issue that he speaks so slowly, and even seems a bit like a child. Furthermore, this spirit issue makes him extremely easily startled, leading to restless sleep. If he's accidentally frightened, he could easily become insane..."
"He's missing his soul, yet he can still speak to us in such a slow and childish voice. This actually requires tremendous willpower and effort. If it were an ordinary person, they would have long lost the ability to distinguish between people and become extremely stupid..."
"He must have his own strengths. He doesn't want to be looked down upon as a somewhat foolish prince..."
Lu Xuan choked up as she spoke, tears already silently sliding down her eyes.
With such a tenacious character, he should have been a man of great potential.
Lu Xuan's hand had been on the prince's arm in front of her because she was checking for poison. Suddenly, she felt a chill on the back of her hand.
Two crystal drops of water shattered on the back of her hand.
The prince lowered his head, seemingly a little embarrassed.
Lu Xuan knew that he understood.
Nanny Lan's heart had already been in a knot, and she quickly said, "Yes, I heard from others in the palace that the Crown Prince's condition has been fluctuating, and he said that he has become a little dumber recently. I didn't think about it before, thinking that the previous poisoning had damaged his health. Only today did I find out that they were actually talking about this matter of mental state..."
"Well, is there any way?" Jiang Xing was so anxious that his eyes turned red.
Lu Xuan nodded, but then shook his head.
She looked at the prince's face, which was entangled with a lot of gray and decadent energy that didn't seem to belong to him, and there was a hint of dejection in her eyes.
"The prince has too many problems, most of which are related to magic."
"Not only has his soul been lost, but someone else has also borrowed his luck. So, even if his soul returns and I save him, he won't live long in the rest of his life..."
