Playing bad and eating melons: The whole court is laughing? No, no

Emperor Yuan pinched the fifteenth prince's chin and was about to force the poison water down his throat, without a trace of pity in his eyes.

A concubine of a foreign race should not have given birth to a prince, so he should not have felt any sympathy for her.

"No, stop! I'll give it to you. I'll give you the antidote."

Emperor Yuan stopped his men's actions, but did not release the hand that was pinching the fifteenth prince's chin.

Concubine Lan knew that he would definitely kill her child if he couldn't get the antidote, so she could only say, "There's no antidote for the Charming Bone Incense, but my blood can cure all poisons. As long as the Queen drinks my blood, everything will be fine."

"Oh! Your blood can cure all poisons? Such a ridiculous statement, do you think I will believe it?"

"I'm not lying to you. Everything I said is true! If you don't believe me, you can give me the poisoned water to drink!"

Emperor Yuan looked at her meaningfully, then poured the poison water in his hand into the fifteenth prince's mouth.

Instead of feeding it to Yilandu, it is better to feed it to her child, so as to be more certain whether her blood can really detoxify.

"No!" Yilanduo cried out in pain.

After the fifteenth prince drank the water with the charm bone fragrance added, his face turned purple instantly, and then he vomited blood. The poison spread very quickly.

"Let me go! If you don't save him, he's going to die!"

Emperor Yuan signaled An Yi to let her go.

After Concubine Lan escaped, she immediately rushed towards the Fifteenth Prince, pulled out the hairpin on her head, and without hesitation cut a cut on her wrist, feeding her blood to the Fifteenth Prince.

The fifteenth prince's complexion visibly returned to normal color, but he still looked very weak.

Concubine Lan sneered, "Are you satisfied now? Emperor Daxia, you are so terrible. He is your own son, he is only nine years old, how could you be so cruel!"

"You ask me how I could bear this? Have you ever considered that he suffered all this because of you?"

Concubine Lan paused when she heard this.

"If you had been content to be his concubine, he would have lived a life of wealth and honor. I just can't understand what the Red Water Tribe has to offer that would be worth your sacrifice."

Concubine Lan lowered her eyes and said, "That is my home, my people, and it is my unshirkable responsibility as a princess."

"Even though you know you can't change anything?"

Concubine Lan was silent.

After a while, Emperor Yuan said calmly: "Take the blood."

An Yi immediately found a jade bowl, grabbed Concubine Lan's hand and slashed it with a knife.

Bright red blood dripped into the bowl, and only when it was full did An Yi let go of her hand.

Emperor Yuan: "Since your blood is still useful, I will not kill you. But you'd better not seek death for me, otherwise I will let the fifteenth prince be buried with you."

After saying this, Emperor Yuan picked up the fifteenth prince and walked out of Yilan Palace.

Concubine Lan curled her lips. She had been controlled by others all her life, and now she couldn't even decide her own death.

It's so sad...

She was wrong, wrong from the beginning.

From the moment she married Emperor Yuan, she should have cut off all ties with Chishui.

***

Over at Ning'an Palace, the Empress stopped coughing after drinking Concubine Lan's blood, and her complexion also looked much better.

The next day, when the director of the Imperial Hospital came to take her pulse, he found that her pulse was much stronger. Before, it was several centimeters weaker than that of a normal person.

The director of the Imperial Hospital suspected that Concubine Lan's blood had played a role in improving the condition.

As expected, the director of the Imperial Hospital found the ingredients of hundreds of medicinal herbs in Concubine Lan's blood.

He guessed that Concubine Lan was raised as a medicine man.

***

Inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Since the day Prince Rong's body was sent back to the capital, Emperor Yuan has been suspended from court until today.

Last night, after Emperor Yuan fed Concubine Lan's blood to the Empress, he sent eunuchs to notify all civil and military officials to attend court as usual.

At this time, all civil and military officials gathered in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, including Jiang Yueyang.

Relying on her position at the back, she looked at Lu Yunting behind General Zhenguo unscrupulously.

[Tsk tsk! Little melon, what on earth did Lu Yunting eat to grow up so handsome? He's so handsome from every angle, even more handsome than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.]

Emperor Yuan has become immune to Jiang Yueyang's excessive focus on appearance, but the civil and military officials are still a little uncomfortable with it.

The prince felt a little uncomfortable when he heard Jiang Yueyang say that he was not as good-looking as Lu Yunting.

How is he not as good as Lu Yunting...well...they are not of the same type and cannot be compared.

The corners of Lu Yunting's mouth rose slightly.

System: [Host, I think his looks are hereditary. General Lu and Madam Lu are both very beautiful.]

How good is it?

[It is more beautiful than the host could have imagined. 】

Emperor Yuan felt that they could not continue chatting like this, and secretly gave Li Fuquan a wink.

Li Fuquan immediately stepped forward and read the imperial decree: "Marquis Jing'an has colluded with foreign enemies and teamed up with Yilanduo to poison the Empress. He deserves death and must be executed immediately! All male members of Marquis Jing'an's household shall be executed, and the female members of his household shall be exiled to the desert."

Xie Xu led his troops to capture Marquis Jing'an last night, causing quite a stir. Some of them even went over to watch the excitement for a while.

Emperor Yuan looked at the generals and said, "I intend to send troops to Chishui. Is there any minister willing to lead the troops?"

Hearing this, the generals present did not speak rashly, but waited and watched for a while.

According to Jiang Yueyang's observation, the eyes of all civil and military officials were on Lu Yunting intentionally or unintentionally.

"Little melon, am I seeing right? They're looking to have Lu Yunting lead the troops to attack Chishui? He just came back from the battlefield, you can't order him around like that!"

Those who originally wanted to recommend Lu Yunting to lead the troops gave up the idea silently after hearing Jiang Yueyang's dissatisfaction.

The system echoed: [That's right, even if it's a cow, it deserves a break.]

Lu Yunting: Thank you.

Emperor Yuan glanced at Lu Yunting. Last time, Jiang Yueyang and that little kid revealed that he had no intention of rebelling.

Honestly, he was relieved.

If the imperial court really fought with the Lu family army, it would be hard to say who would win or lose.

So he asked, "Why? None of you, my dear ministers, are willing to lead the troops into battle? Do you want me to lead the troops myself?"

The generals suddenly felt terrified.

General Zhenguo's eldest son, General Zhang Xiao, stepped forward and bowed, saying, "I am willing to lead the troops into battle."

"I am willing to lead the troops to the battle."

"I am willing to lead the troops to the battle."

At once, several generals came forward to express their willingness to lead the troops into battle.

Emperor Yuan sneered in his heart. Although these people are rough military generals, they are actually very scheming!

Just now they probably wanted to recommend Lu Yunting to go to the battle, or they wanted to test their attitude towards Lu Yunting.

Otherwise, how could he let go of the military merit that was so easily within his grasp!

Emperor Yuan glanced at the several generals who came out of the line, and finally his eyes locked on a general.

"General Cao, I am waiting for your triumphant return in the palace."

System: [No, no, we can't send him!]

[Why? Is he going to rebel too?]
