Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 139

Chapter 139: He Won’t Have Long To Live
Thinking of Duan Qinwang’s lack of ability in that unspeakable area, Emperor Yong’an glanced at Duan Qinwangfei with eyes full of pity. Seeing the way Emperor Yong’an looked at his wife, Duan Qinwang almost went on a rampage on the spot.

After a long silence, Emperor Yong’an coughed lightly to break the silence and said, “Then Zhen will trouble Kang Taiyi to prescribe the medicine for Duan Qinwang.”

Kang Haifa seemed to be unaware of the awkward atmosphere in the Qian Qing Palace and said calmly, “Yes, Your Majesty.”

When Kang Haifa prescribed medicine for Duan Qinwang, Jian Liu, who was hiding on the high palace beams, looked at Emperor Yong’an speechlessly. Hearing the suppressed laughter of his subordinates around him, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

After writing the prescription, Kang Haifa put down the writing brush on the writing brush holder. He respectfully handed the prescription to a young eunuch, who in turn handed the prescription to Duan Qinwang. Looking at the prescription in front of him, Duan Qinwang was trembling with anger and humiliation.

He took the prescription from the young eunuch’s hand, gritted his teeth, and said, “Ben Wang thank Kang Taiyi.”

Kang Haifa bowed slightly at Duan Qinwang and said, “This is what Lao Chen should do.”

After saying that, Kang Haifa straightened up and walked towards Rui Qinwang. Unlike Duan Qinwang, who had an extremely uncooperative attitude, Rui Qinwang smiled when he greeted Kang Haifa.

He coughed weakly and said, “Ben Wang will trouble Kang Taiyi to check my physical condition.”

Kang Haifa clasped his hands and said politely, “Rui Wangye is too polite.”

After saying that, Kang Haifa repeated the procedure again. After placing the soft pulse pillow on the low table, he motioned for Rui Qinwang and said, “Rui Wangye, please.”

Rui Qinwang smiled lightly and calmly placed his right wrist on the soft pulse pillow. While Kang Haifa checked on Rui Qinwang’s pulse, Emperor Yong’an thoughtfully looked at Rui Qinwang’s calm expression. Qiu Yuanbo, standing behind him, was curious about Emperor Yong’an’s series of actions tonight.

Not long after, Kang Haifa finished checking Rui Qinwang’s pulse. After putting the white handkerchief and pulse pillow back into the medicine box, Kang Haifa stood up. Just as he was about to speak, Rui Qinwang suddenly coughed violently.

Before anyone could react, Rui Qinwang suddenly coughed up blood and fainted. When Emperor Yong’an saw this, his eyes flashed as he looked at Rui Qinwang meaningfully.

Seeing Rui Qinwang fainted, the old eunuch standing behind him reacted quickly. The old eunuch quickly picked up Rui Qinwang from the cold floor and secretly fed him a pill while blocking the view from others with his body.

While no one in the main hall of Qian Qing Palace saw what he was doing, Jian Liu and the secret guards saw everything clearly from the high palace beams.

A second after Rui Qinwang swallowed the pill, Kang Haifa knelt beside him and said to the old eunuch, “Gong Gong, please put Rui Wangye down.”

Since the head of the Imperial Medical Court had said so, the old eunuch had no choice but to follow his instruction and place Rui Qinwang on the ground. When Kang Haifa checked on Rui Qinwang’s pulse and examined his body, the old eunuch’s hands, which were covered under his sleeves, were tightly clenched.

A minute later, Kang Haifa took out a small jade bottle from the medicine box. He poured out a pill and fed it to Rui Qinwang.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Yong’an asked, “How is Rui Qinwang’s condition?”

Kang Haifa stood up and said, “Your Majesty, Rui Qinwang’s internal organs are deteriorating. He won’t have long to live.”

Hearing his answer, Emperor Yong’an fell into silence. After a while, he asked, “How much time does he have?”

Kang Haifa lowered his eyes and said calmly, “The shortest is half a year. If Rui Qinwang stays in bed and takes care of himself properly, he might live for another year.”

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Yong’an looked at the unconscious Rui Qinwang. Seeing that his clothes were stained with blood, Emperor Yong’an looked at the old eunuch and said, “Bring your master back and serve him carefully.”

The old eunuch kowtowed to Emperor Yong’an and said, “Thank you, Your Majesty.”

Emperor Yong’an realized that Rui Qinwang had only brought the old eunuch with him tonight, so he said, “Yuanbo, send Rui Qinwang back to his mansion.”

Qiu Yuanbo clasped his hands and said, “Yes, Your Majesty.”

After Qiu Yuanbo arranged for Rui Qinwang to be carried out, Emperor Yong’an looked at Xia Yanghui and said apologetically, “Xie Guogong, I’m really sorry that this happened at your welcome banquet. I will send you an invitation to apologize personally.”

Everyone was shocked when they heard that Emperor Yong’an used ‘I’ instead of ‘Zhen’ when talking to Xie Yanghui. Seeing their reactions, Xie Yanghui looked helplessly at Emperor Yong’an. Since it was in public, he couldn’t scold Emperor Yong’an like he usually does.

Xie Yanghui stood up, clasped his fists, and said, “Your Majesty, there is no need to apologize. No one expected that Rui Qinwang’s health would be so bad.”

Since the atmosphere had been ruined, Emperor Yong’an stood up and said, “Zhen is tired. Everyone, please enjoy the banquet.”

After saying that, Emperor Yong’an walked out of Qian Qing Palace, followed by imperial guards and his attendants. Behind him, the ministers, generals, and noble families all knelt on the ground and said in unison, “Respectfully send off the Emperor.”

After Emperor Yong’an left the banquet, the tense atmosphere slowly dissipated. Seeing that Duan Qinwang and Xie Yanghui were still there, the ministers, generals, and people from noble families quietly made their moves.

Xie Yanghui sensed their intentions as soon as he felt their gazes. He put down his wine cup and said, “I’m going back first.”

Ke Xianhao looked at him and asked in surprise, “Why did you go back so early? Do you have anything urgent to do?”
