Chapter 125: Chapter 124: A New Antidote Recipe
In the large living room, filled with a dense crowd, the eunuch delivering the imperial decree from the palace saw that almost everyone was present, and began to announce the decree.
"By the mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: I have ascended the throne for ten years, relying on Uncle to oversee court affairs, which has brought harmony and peace to the nation and prosperity to the people. Now, Uncle returns governance to me, and I am extremely grateful, hence bestowing upon Uncle the nation’s title, Yong, promoting him to Prince Yong, wishing Uncle to continue his loyalty to the country, and collaborate with me in striving to create a prosperous era of peace. So ordered."
Feng Qing listened to the long rambling words, only grasping one meaning — granting Rong Ling the national title, promoting him to Prince Yong.
Feng Qing didn’t understand much about being a prince, only knowing it should be good, so she stretched out her hand to lead the people in thanking the Dog Emperor for his magnanimous favor, and signaled Housekeeper Lin to give silver to the decree-delivering eunuch, while she took the imperial decree along with Si Qi and Si Hua back to Yijing Courtyard.
Once entering Yijing Courtyard and handing the imperial decree to Nan Feng, she ordered the small kitchen in Yijing Courtyard to prepare something delicious for herself, and after being well-fed, bathed and went straight to sleep.
As for the other women elsewhere in the Prince Mansion, each was panicking like headless flies, all gathering in Consort Jiang’s courtyard for discussion.
"What is going on? Our Regent Prince Mansion is suddenly turned into Prince Yong Mansion."
"Yes, yes, what does this really mean?"
"What did our Prince do, for the Emperor to issue such a decree, isn’t it making others mock our Prince?"
Though the Prince Mansion is already of high standard, it doesn’t compare to the Regent Prince Mansion.
Before, even a dog coming out of the Regent Prince Mansion was more esteemed than others, because of the Regent King’s governance, that impressiveness was incomparable.
But now suddenly becoming just a prince, the mansion’s concubines felt very unbalanced, more worried that going out, no one would praise them, hence continued to chatter non-stop.
Feng Qing didn’t care about all that, slept until dark, and wasn’t even awake naturally, it was due to being disturbed awake.
Outside the east wing courtyard, someone was rudely demanding to see her.
"Isn’t this little girl sleeping too much, not waking up until now, how long do I have to wait, no way, you must go in and call her."
"I’ve come up with another antidote formula, maybe if she drinks it this time, the poison on her face will be cured."
Feng Qing heard the words outside and knew it was Divine Doctor Zhang, and this guy came up with another antidote formula, wanting her to drink it.
Feng Qing thought of the medicine and was unwilling, pretending to be asleep.
But outside, Si Hua heard the old doctor figured out an antidote formula for Feng Qing, and rushed in joyfully to call Feng Qing.
"Princess Consort, the old doctor brought an antidote formula for you."
If the spider on Princess Consort’s face could be detoxified, she and Prince would definitely be a perfect match.
Feng Qing couldn’t even pretend to sleep, had to get up.
Upon seeing her, the excited Divine Doctor Zhang said, "Little lass, I’ve thought of another formula to cure the spider on your face. Let’s try it."
Feng Qing, with a black line on her face, looked at the jubilant Divine Doctor Zhang, wanting to tell him that the antidote for the human-faced spider is not effective when taken orally, it should be applied to the face, wait for the poisonous spider on the face to decay, and let new skin grow.
But now she really didn’t want to tell him and could only appease him.
"Well, thank you, sir."
"No thanks, no thanks, I’ll have someone catch the herbs and boil them to try."
Feng Qing glanced at the antidote formula in his hand, drinking it would be harmless, so she nodded: "Alright."
