Chapter 30: Helpless

"What is the situation with Lindsay? Can't even you find the cause? Edith, who had stayed at the palace after the meeting, found Hovis. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Hovis lived in the Imperial Hospital's Palace, and was deeply appreciated by the royal family because of his noble birth and shrewd medical skills, and only treated the royal family. Hovis put down the book in his hand, took the medical book that was put aside, and shook his head while flipping through it: "No...... The situation of the eldest princess is very strange, I have not had a similar condition for a long time. Putting down the book in his hand, Hovis rubbed the corners of his eyes tiredly.

"At first, there were no obvious symptoms, and no one noticed anything unusual about her. But slowly people are losing weight day by day, loss of appetite, drowsiness, and now physical exhaustion...... Faint at every turn. I also went to diagnose and treat the pulse through the technique of the Middle Continent, but unfortunately, I couldn't find any abnormalities. ”

Ever since Lindsay fell ill, Hovis has been consulting medical books day and night, and searching through all the books in the library in vain. Watching Lindsay become emaciated and haggard day by day, coupled with the current situation that is unfavorable to Lindsay. Hovis saw it in his eyes and hurt in his heart......

"The queen also ...... Lindsay"

"Hmm...... We can't listen to what we say now, we just don't believe in Amos's strength. Blindly think that we are defending Lindsay's shirk. Now, Miya has been favored and fanned the flames in the harem. But because Modi won a victory, Her Majesty the Queen connived at one time! Now the gossip about Lindsey is also exaggerated. What we can do, we can only listen! ”

Edith was very disgusted with his own incompetence. Hovis is also aware of the current situation, and he is also just a royal doctor, and has no right to interfere in anything.

"I've been wondering if I should go to Ling Baiyi...... With her abilities, she should be able to save Lindsay. Edith took the teacup handed by the doctor and took a sip of tea and said, the tea entrance, Edith twisted his brows: "What kind of tea is this, so sour!" ”

"Hawthorn tea ~ Chinese medicinal materials introduced from the Central Continent, made with several medicinal materials."

"You're a weird person." Edith put down the teacup, not wanting to touch it again.

Hovis shook his head with a smile and said, "Ling Baiyi does have this ability, but now in this extraordinary period, and because of Ling Baiyi's relationship, he has paid a huge amount of compensation. Her Majesty knows that your situation is in danger, and it is not good for Lindsay. ”

It's good not to mention it, but it's a big deal, Edith slapped the table fiercely and said angrily: "Scruples about this and scruples about that!" Lindsay has three long and two short, so she doesn't have to scruples!! Lindsay is so sick, the queen has never been to see it, I really don't know what's wrong with her, saying that Lindsay is obsessed with men, I see the queen ......"

"Edith!! Hush...... Woe comes from the mouth, after all, this is the palace, be careful that the wall has ears. Hovis cautiously looked around, making sure that no one was relieved and continued: "I know you are in a hurry, and so am I. I read a lot of medical books and thought that my medical skills were unbeatable...... My ancestors have been studying medicine for generations, starting from the Narte Empire, with the Imperial Physician Chris, but unfortunately, what is the use of these. It's not like you're helpless......"

"We're all the same, and I'm going to see if Lindsay's body hasn't improved. I must take a trip to Usain Bolt, the Empire cannot live without her! Neither can we! It doesn't matter what the consequences are, as long as Lindsey lives! ”

"That's it...... For Lindsay's sake, I won't advise you anymore. But I'll check to see if there's a cure for Lindsay. ”

Edith said goodbye to Hovis and prepared to leave the palace, and just as he walked to the palace gate, a chaotic footstep disturbed the peace of the palace.

"What's wrong?" Edith frowned, already irritable, and the noise made him even more annoying.

The running soldier hurriedly stopped, and when he saw that it was Edith, he hurriedly saluted: "Lord Duke, I'm really sorry, the matter is urgent, so ......"

"What the hell is going on?"

"Princess Modi is assassinated!"

"What ?!!"

Edith was led by the female officer to Modi's bedroom, and Hovis was invited in. Edith nodded at him when he saw him in the room.

Modi, who was lying in bed, was pale, and beads of sweat were sliding down his cheeks. The area where she was injured was her lower abdomen, and the royal doctor had stopped the bleeding for Modi. Hovis didn't dare to delay for a moment, took out the medicine powder from the medicine box and applied it to the wound. The powder has a pain-relieving and healing effect, and after a while, Modi's body no longer trembles. She raised her eyes to spot Edith, her eyes full of surprise, "Edith, you're here." ”

"Hmm." Edith nodded: "What's the matter, how was it stabbed." ”

Modi shook his head: "I don't know, it's on my way to the palace to meet the queen." A dark shadow sprang out, and I was stabbed before I could react. ”

"What is an assassin like? Do you see clearly? ”

Modi shook his head: "No, this assassin is wearing a black suit... Still masked..."Modi looked at the door, and hurriedly struggled to get up, and the person who came stepped forward quickly: "Don't get up, just lie down!" ”

Hovis and Edith looked at the comer: "Your Majesty...... Mia-sama. ”

"You don't have to be polite, Hovis, how is Modi's injury?" Rodia asked, sitting down.

"Her Majesty can rest assured that there is no serious problem. It's just that you have lost a little more blood, so you can keep it for a few days. Hovis came to the table and wrote a prescription: "Please send someone to the Imperial Medical Court to let the medical officer boil the medicine and send it, three times a day, avoid spicy food, and mainly liquid food." Hovis retires! ”

The queen and Miya nodded, looked at Modi with worried expressions, and told her to rest more and send more people to protect her.

Edith secretly gritted his teeth, Lindsay's situation was even worse than Modi's. The treatment was so different that Edith stood up and saluted the three of them: "Seeing that Princess Modi is fine, Editis retires!" ”

"Hmm~ This king won't keep you much." Rodia rolled his gaze and turned his head to look at Edith: "Lord Duke, take the trouble to find out the details of the assassins. Black suits, masked, should be ...... It's easy to find! ”

Edith frowned and looked up at the thoughtful Rodia: "Although I don't understand what you imply, but the assassin who assassinated Princess Modi, Edith will try her best to investigate!" ”

Leaving Modi's mansion, Edith hammered down the stone pillar in front of the gate: "Damn it!! ”

"Edith, why are you still so angry?"

Hovis walked out of the corner, still carrying a medicine box on his shoulder, and it was clear that he hadn't returned to the Imperial Hospital after leaving: "Why are you here?" ”

"Princess Modi's injury is not serious, I want to go to see the eldest princess, thinking that you will go directly from here, so I am waiting for you to come along. What's wrong, what's going on to make you so angry. ”

Edith looked left and right: "Let's go, talk as you go!" ”

"The Queen suspects Lindsay?!" Hovis froze in place, looking at Edith incredulously.

Edith nodded: "You must know that Modi's martial arts are no worse than Lindsay, and if he has no ability, he should not be able to hurt Modi in the slightest." If you think about it, the strong suit and the mask, judging from Modi's wounds, should be caused by a dagger. ”

"Dick?!"

"Yes, Dick. In terms of dress and all weapons, he was the same as Dick, but Dick could not have left Lindsay half a step. Edith said resentfully.

"The Queen is still skeptical, right?"

"Yes, I don't know why, looking at her is simply suspicious of Lindsay."

Hovis shook his head: "There is no point in speculating here, go ask Lindsay." Hear what she thinks! ”

Lindsay spent a long time in silence, and several people sat around the courtyard, and everyone was silent and silent. Dick, who was suspected of being the killer, didn't react much, poured tea for Lindsay, and ordered the female officer to deliver fruit.

"I see." Lindsay sighed deeply and didn't say much.

"Lindsay, aren't you angry? Don't want to explain it to the queen either? Edith, who had the most impulsive temperament, was puzzled when she saw Lindsay's attitude of not defending herself at all.

Lindsay put down the teacup and looked around at the few men sitting around her, and her tone was very indifferent: "Her Majesty has a lot of prejudice against me now, and the gossip has some influence on me~ In addition, Modi was assassinated, and the killer looks similar to Dick, no matter how much I can argue, it is useless for me to justify~ You seem to be very puzzled, why does the queen think it is Dick? ”

Everyone nodded, and Dick smiled bitterly. Seeing Lindsay nodding at him, Dick snapped his fingers, only to see dozens of black shadows emerging from all directions of the courtyard. Just under the stunned gaze of everyone present, twelve or thirteen masked men in strong suits appeared in front of them to salute.

"OMG!! This, this is ......" Hovis, Issel, and Phil were dumbfounded.

"I heard early on that Her Majesty had arranged for Lindsay's safety by arranging a group of guards for her. Who are these people? Edith looked at Lindsay, and Lindsay and Dick nodded: "Well~ These are my shadow guards, and Dick is the leader of the shadow guards." Externally, he is my personal bodyguard. The reason why the queen is suspicious of me is because I have these shadow guards under me. ”

"What's the reason, the shadow guard is the ...... arranged by Her Majesty the Queen by your side"

"This is because the shadow guard only obeys me, and no one has the right to give orders to my shadow guard. This honour was bestowed upon Her Majesty the Queen after I returned from my first expedition. Unexpectedly, it has become a hidden danger to be suspected, just ~ Dick, let them step down! ”

As soon as Dick raised his hand, more than a dozen shadow guards disappeared in front of everyone.

"I didn't expect that Your Royal Highness the princess would have so many masters in your mansion, it seems that Her Majesty is really worried about your safety." Isel patted his chest, apparently taken aback.

"No~ now she cares about Modi~" Lindsey chuckled: "Phil, you don't use it on my side either." Do you need to run to me every day to pray for blessings?"

"It doesn't matter, the chief priest is actually my father, and he has great respect for you, and has commanded me to pray for you every day until you are healed. He said to me that you are a pillar of the country, although there are many rumors against you now. However, everyone's eyes are bright, and I believe that many people believe in you! So, Your Highness Princess, please don't worry too much, everything will be fine. ”

"I hope so......" Lindsay looked up at the clouds fluttering in the sky.

"By the way, how did Her Royal Highness arrange for Otis to them?" Edith looked around, but couldn't find Otis or his mother.

"Otis? Well, I've got them in place. In these extraordinary times, it's best not to show your head. ”

"Reach out!" Hovis sat down next to Lindsay and took her wrist to take her pulse: "How are you feeling these two days?" He asked.

"It's the same old thing, it's not good, it's not bad."

"It's still strong, I fainted three times yesterday for no reason." Dick on the side said reproachfully, and Hovis frowned at Lindsay: "Why don't you send someone to me when the frequency of fainting increases!? I didn't tell you ......"

"Stop, honorable Imperial Physician, please spare my ears!"

Hovis returned to Edith and sat down, shaking his head at him, Lindsay's body didn't improve, to be precise, worse than before.

After the sun went down, Phil said goodbye to Lindsay with Hovis. That night, no matter how Lindsay bombarded Edith, he insisted on staying in the princess's mansion, and Dick snickered helplessly: "Since the Duke is here, then Dick will retire." ”

"Damn!! Edith, what the hell do you want? ”

"I don't feel at ease when I said that you are like this, I will accompany you tonight. You always let Dick be by your side, let him rest! Seeing Lindsay holding the quilt and looking at him vigilantly, Edith rubbed the corners of her eyes helplessly: "How hungry am I, I won't make a move on a patient." Sleep! ”

"Uh-huh......" Lindsay pursed her lips, and she clearly saw the dark circles under Edith's eyes. Not only him, but Dick and Hovis were: "You sleep on the couch next to you." ”

Edith answered, kissing Lindsay lightly on the forehead. When Lindsay fell asleep, the candle went out, and the room fell into a dark silence.
