Rong Zhan hummed in acknowledgment and looked down at his legs.
Gu Qingxue’s face was full of concern as well. She stared at Rong Zhan’s unmoving legs and heard his voice.
“l tried to move, but I can’t.” Rong Zhan looked at Gu Qingxue, his eyes equally serious. “Are my legs crippled?”
Gu Qingxue looked up and met Rong Zhan’s eyes. She quickly shook her head and said, “No, this shouldn’t be. I have already removed the Gu Poison in Your Royal Highness’s body. Logically speaking, Your Royal Highness should at most feel weak all over, but it’s impossible for your legs to not have any strength at all. Your Royal Highness, try to move your right leg again. Use all your strength to move both legs.”
Rong Zhan went along with Gu Qingxue’s words and moved his legs seriously. However, his expression was very serious, and his legs were still leaning against the bed.
Seeing this, Gu Qingxue’s heart instantly turned cold.
“Qingxue, am I crippled?” As Rong Zhan spoke, he reached out and pinched his legs. “l can’t move, and I can’t feel pain.”
Gu Qingxue looked at Rong Zhan’s legs worriedly and did the same. She pinched Rong Zhan’s inner thigh with so much force that it was enough to make one scream in pain.
However, Rong Zhan did not even frown, let alone scream. From the beginning to the end, he had an extremely calm expression.
Gu Qingxue quickly checked Rong Zhan’s pulse, but his pulse was stable and there were no signs of Gu poison in his body. “Your Royal Highness, I should have already removed the Gu Poison in your body. I don’t know why your legs are numb…” Perhaps, we can invite other imperial physicians to come over and take a look.”
“If the other imperial physicians come over to diagnose me, wouldn’t they discover that my body is poisoned?” Rong Zhan asked, staring at Gu Qingxue.
Gu Qingxue did not try to hide it and nodded her head. “We’ll most likely be discovered.’
“Then I’ll still hand this matter over to you. You’ve been treating my body all this time, and this time, you’re also the one who helped me detoxify. Naturally, you’ll be responsible for all my reactions until I’m completely cured,” Rong Zhan said matter-of-factly.
Gu Qingxue’s tone was exceptionally grave. “l will naturally be responsible for treating Your Royal Highness. Your Royal Highness, this happened so suddenly that I have to stay by your side to keep an eye on your situation for the next few days. I’m afraid I’ll have to disturb you for a few more days in the prince regent’s residence.”
“That’s not a problem. In order for you to focus, your family will also live in the residence, so that you don’t have to run back and forth and delay my treatment,” Rong Zhan said matter-of-factly.
Gu Qingxue was depressed by the sudden turn of events. She had no choice but to agree to Rong Zhan’s request. “That’s good. Your Royal Highness should rest first. I’m going to report this matter to His Majesty and the empress dowager, and then I’ll go find a wheelchair for Your Highness.”
Seeing Rong Zhan nod his head in agreement with a calm look in his eyes, Gu Qingxue could not help but feel a deep sense of guilt.
The development of the situation was completely beyond her expectations. In the end, Rong Zhan’s sudden paralysis was all because of her poor medical skills. Even when he complained, she did not say a word.
On the contrary, Rong Zhan’s calm att.i.tude made Gu Qingxue feel even more sorry for him. She secretly swore that she would find out the reason no matter what and cure Rong Zhan as soon as possible..
