Doctor Mu was soon invited into the palace, and after examining Murong Xuan's pulse, he came to the same conclusion as Chen Yuanpan.

Emperor You'an asked in a deep voice: "Is there any way to detoxify?"

Doctor Mu nodded calmly and said, "According to ancient records, these two poisonous insects are extremely strange, but I have a way to suppress the poison of the insects, so that Your Highness will not have to worry about his life."

Emperor You'an was confused, but when he heard the end, he knew that the prince could be saved, and his expression relaxed a little: "Okay, let's detoxify the prince first."

Yuanpan Chen also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was not as good as the country doctor in detoxification, at least he had diagnosed the disease himself. Hey, he didn't let the people from the Imperial Hospital down!

Doctor Mu picked up the small medicine box, took out the silver needle, and poked the prince with the needle. The prince turned his head and spit out a few mouthfuls of blood. His face became rosy, but he still kept his eyes closed.

Emperor You'an frowned: "Why are you still unconscious?"

Doctor Mu said slowly, "In reply to the emperor, the prince's pulse has stabilized and the poison has been suppressed. He will wake up soon."

Emperor You'an felt relieved after hearing all the good things he said. Hearing his ambiguous words, he asked again, "How long is a while?"

"At the latest, he will wake up in three hours."

Three hours later, it was dark.

Then the prince still closed his eyes.

Emperor You'an was extremely anxious. He had finally remembered to show some fatherly love to his son who had been raised outside the palace since childhood, but his son turned out to be poisoned and unconscious. His passionate and loving fatherly heart had nowhere to go.

"Didn't you say three hours? Why hasn't the prince woken up yet?"

Doctor Mu also frowned: "I am also very confused. The poison has been resolved... Maybe my diagnosis is biased. How about asking the imperial doctors to take his pulse?"

Emperor You'an thought this was very reasonable, and turned around and called a group of imperial doctors kneeling in the courtyard to come into the palace.

Court Judge Chen felt the prince's pulse tremblingly. Although the pulse was a little weak, it was not at all like the dead pulse when he was poisoned. Looking at the prince's face, it was ruddy and gentle, as if he was asleep...

He even dared to flip the prince's eyelids, but he came to the same conclusion as Doctor Mu: "In reply to the emperor, although the pulse of the prince is weak, the poison in his body has been eliminated, and his life is safe."

Emperor You'an became even more furious: "Then tell me, your life is safe, why haven't you woken up yet?"

"Although the poison has been removed, Your Highness has always been weak, and the poison is strong and hurts the lungs. Naturally, it will take longer for him to wake up than an ordinary person..." Judge Chen was sweating profusely, and he did not forget to complain to Doctor Mu in his heart. Knowing that the prince was weak, who knew when he would wake up?

Can't you be more ambiguous like him? Instead of giving a definite number, isn't this just to deliberately anger the Emperor?

Emperor You'an also became more aggressive. No one was allowed to leave the Hall of Supreme Harmony until the prince woke up. He ordered people to force the prince to drink some ginseng soup to keep him hanging, and he stayed by the prince's bedside all night.

Finally it was the next day.

Emperor You'an became even angrier: "Why hasn't the prince woken up yet?"

Neither Doctor Mu nor the imperial physician who was kneeling on the ground could explain what was going on.

All the civil and military officials in the Hall of Supreme Harmony were forced to sleep all night. Everyone was worried and even breathed lightly, for fear of accidentally angering the emperor.

Emperor You'an kicked Chen Yuanpan and said, "Didn't you say that the prince would wake up today? Why hasn't he woken up yet?"

Court Judge Chen was kicked to the ground. He hurriedly got up and kowtowed to apologize. He really didn't know that the poison had obviously been removed. Even if he was weak, he should have woken up after a night's sleep!

Fortunately, Doctor Mu at the side spoke up in time: "Your Majesty, I suddenly remembered some records in ancient books. Can I consult with Doctor Chen?"

Emperor You'an waved his hands irritably: "Alright, if the prince doesn't wake up, I want you to be buried with him!"

Court Judge Chen looked at Doctor Mu with tears of gratitude, then nervously saved his life and went to discuss countermeasures with Doctor Mu.

......

Eunuch Shi had been guarding the prison for a whole night, and he could hardly bear it any longer. But then Chief Eunuch Li came to report to him, trembling with fear on his face: "Eunuch Shi, the man who was tortured just now couldn't bear it and died..."

When Eunuch Shi heard this, he was so scared that his soul almost flew away.

He raised his orchid finger, pointed at Li Zongguan and cursed: "You don't want to live anymore! Such an important witness, you said, you interrogated him to death? We can see that you are in cahoots with that bastard, right?"

Li Dazongguan fell to his knees with a thud:

"Eunuch Shi, how dare I! Normally, none of the seventy-two punishments are fatal. Even a weak person can endure ten or so. Who knew that this bastard would vomit blood and die after only six or seven..."

Eunuch Shi snorted coldly: "Even if we tell the emperor this, he won't believe you."

Chief Steward Li was afraid that he would be implicated, so he suddenly had an idea:

"Eunuch Shi, I am truly innocent! In my opinion, this bastard must have committed suicide out of guilt because he couldn't bear the torture and didn't dare to offend the person behind the scenes! Why don't you send someone to check his residence... Besides, the blood he just vomited was all black, I'm afraid he was poisoned a long time ago!"

Eunuch Shi frowned, and while he sent people to search the young eunuch's residence, he stayed there himself. After asking someone to explain the situation to Emperor You'an, he brought an experienced old doctor over.

The old doctor tried the silver needle and came to the conclusion: "This young eunuch has indeed been poisoned. Even if he is not tortured, he will not survive today."

Soon, the guards who went to search found something. They found a jade ring in the floor tiles under the little eunuch's bed.

Manager Li's eyes were full of joy. He had guessed it right. This way, his life would be saved!

Eunuch Shi had a heavy expression on his face. Now all the evidence pointed to Prince Yao... He didn't know how the Emperor would deal with this.

He returned to the Hall of Supreme Harmony with the physical evidence in a state of anxiety.

"What's the matter?" The emperor looked haggard.

Eunuch Shi held out the jade ring and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I have found out... the eunuch who poisoned the Crown Prince was indeed bribed and was poisoned in advance."

Emperor You'an looked at the jade ring. He remembered clearly that it was the one that Prince Yao often wore. He was instantly furious and felt that his surging fatherly love for the prince was completely destroyed by Prince Yao, the rebellious son.

She was so angry that her face turned red and she threw the beads in her hand:

"How dare he! He is so arrogant just because he has eliminated the salt famine? Hmm? I am not even dead yet! He dares to poison the prince in front of me?"

Eunuch Shi knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe.

Emperor You'an narrowed his eyes. Beneath his frivolous fatherly heart was the majesty of an emperor and his untouchable desire for control.

In the past, he was not unaware of King Yao's little tricks, but he never stopped them.

On the contrary, he liked to look down on King Yao and see him excel in everything.

He liked his son King Yao very much, but this love was still vaguely mixed with a kind of imperial satisfaction, just like watching a kitten or a puppy constantly trying to please him in order to win his favor.

Not only King Yao, but also any prince, concubine, and all the civil and military officials in the court could not escape such scrutiny.

But he was very dissatisfied with what happened today.

He is the emperor, how can he allow others to make decisions for him?

Did Prince Yao think that by killing the crown prince, he could force me to make him the new crown prince? Am I so old that I must choose a successor from among the other princes?
