Lin Yiwan frowned, looked up at them and said, "Then can you help the emperor detoxify?"

They all shook their heads: "Although we can't, we also can't watch you steam the emperor!"

Lin Yiwan interrupted without hesitation: "This is the only way to save him!"

Seeing that they couldn't persuade her, everyone turned to Doctor Lin: "Doctor Lin, please persuade the Marquis' wife. The emperor's body is too precious to withstand such torture. If anything happens to him, your Lin family can't bear the consequences, and our Imperial Hospital can't afford it either!"

Doctor Lin's eyes flashed with determination. He said in a deep voice, "I trust Wanwan. If her method fails to detoxify the emperor, I will take full responsibility. You can kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you!"

"You!" Everyone's faces turned pale with anger.

Doctor Lin quickly knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to let Wanwan give it a try. If anything goes wrong, I will leave my life in your hands!"

Emperor Sheng An was silent for a moment and then spoke without hesitation: "I trust Madam Hou and will do as she says!"

Now that the emperor has given the order, no one dares to raise any objections.

Li Delu carefully placed the emperor on the steamer, and tears immediately fell.

He choked up and said, "Your Majesty, I never dreamed that you would be put on the pot and steamed!"

Emperor Sheng An gritted his teeth and said, "Shut up! If you cry again, I'll let you come in and keep me company!"

Li Delu hiccuped and dared not say another word.

Everything was ready, and Lin Yiwan ordered people to light the fire.

The steamer gradually heated up, and Emperor Sheng An's face turned pink in an instant.

Sweat kept accumulating on his forehead, and it was dark purple.

Imperial Physician Lin's eyes lit up: "Wanwan, is the Emperor's body already expelling toxins from the high fever?"

Lin Yiwan nodded. "Grandfather is right. This poison is very cunning. Even if you take proper measures, it has already seeped into the bloodstream and is affecting the Emperor's meridians. Only by forcing it out with high temperatures can we eliminate most of the toxicity!"

Doctor Lin nodded with satisfaction: "Wanwan, your knowledge far surpasses that of your grandfather!"

Lin Yiwan thought to herself, this is not knowledge at all. She has clearly lived an extra life, so she has worked hard to read those medical books and poison books, just to have more self-protection skills.

She took a deep breath, and seeing the purple-black water droplets oozing from Emperor Sheng An's skin becoming smaller, she urged directly: "Add more firewood! Quick!"

Emperor Sheng An held onto the edge of the steamer with both hands and said, "Madam Hou, I'm already feeling very hot. If you add more firewood, I'll really be cooked!"

Lin Yiwan waved her hand: "Your Majesty, don't worry. I know my limits!"

Emperor Sheng An's mind raced. He hadn't offended Lin Yiwan before, had he? No matter what happened to her and her husband, he would always stand firmly by their side.

She shouldn't take revenge on him and deliberately steam him!

He took a deep breath and continued to endure the waves of burning sensation.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside, and then someone started banging on the door.

Li Delu quickly led people over to check. He ran back with a pale face and said, "They are some soldiers wearing armor. They are holding sharp weapons in their hands. They don't look like the Royal Guards!"

Lin Yiwan quickly spoke up: "It must be Xiao Si's people. There are imperial guards surrounding them outside, so there's no need to worry for now!"

Li Delu shook his head in horror: "No, those imperial guards have already fallen down. I don't know if they are dead or unconscious!"

Lin Yiwan looked outside and found a fire burning not far away.

However, the soldiers wearing armor all wore masks, apparently to avoid being affected by the smoke and dust.

She quickly reminded: "Everyone, close the doors and windows quickly. The smoke and dust are poisonous!"

At this time, shouts were heard from outside: "Listen up, everyone inside, you are surrounded. If you know what's good for you, get out now. Otherwise, when we rush in, you won't have a chance to survive!"

Doctor Lin angrily cursed: "This bunch of traitors!"

Several imperial physicians were also terrified and at a loss for words. They all asked, "Imperial Physician Lin, what should we do?"

Doctor Lin ordered without hesitation: "Follow me and guard the door until reinforcements arrive!"

Several imperial physicians looked at each other in bewilderment: "Doctor Lin, we only know how to wield a needle, we can't kill people!"

Doctor Lin scolded: "Just know how to hold the needle, and focus on the vital points. Prick them until they can't move!"

After receiving instructions, the few people hurried to guard the door.

Seeing the aggressive look of Imperial Physician Lin leading his subordinates, Emperor Sheng An felt mixed emotions.

He is the emperor!

It has fallen to this point!

Even Li Delu, who was usually timid, stood by his side holding the door-blocking stick, and his expression was more stubborn than ever before.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, if the traitor dares to harm you and the Marquis's wife, he will have to step over my dead body first!"

Emperor Sheng An said in a hoarse voice: "No, we are all blessed with good fortune and can survive!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the doorway was hit by a wave of attacks.

"Bang!" The door was hit hard by a heavy object, causing Doctor Lin and others to fall to the ground.

He knew better than anyone that if the door could not be guarded, both the emperor and Wanwan would be in danger.

Even if he died, he couldn't move at all.

He pushed hard against the door, his eyes turning blood red.

He screamed, "We must fight to the death to protect the emperor!"

The other doctors were encouraged and quickly piled everything in the house at the door to resist the next wave of attacks.

The loyal and brave King Xiao Si stood outside in a rage. This time he had decided to burn his boats!

He exposed all the hidden chess pieces buried in the palace, hoping to kill Emperor Sheng An in one blow.

As long as he died, he would become the emperor of the current dynasty with full legitimacy.

He doesn't have much time left. As long as the secret guards led by Shadow Soul escape, they will fight to the death to stop them.

Seeing that he couldn't break the door open again and again, he gave the order: "Set fire to the palace and burn them all to death. Let them never escape again!"

"Yes!" After everyone agreed, they hurried to pile up dry firewood around the hall.

Doctor Lin frowned. He looked at Lin Yiwan and asked, "Wanwan, how is the emperor now?"

She went forward to take a closer look and found that the original black and purple sweat had turned pink and white.

In other words, his life is no longer in danger.

She spoke quickly, "Most of the poison has been neutralized. The remaining poison is not life-threatening. You can slowly recuperate with herbal medicine in the future!"

Emperor Sheng An immediately said, "Help me down, let's get out of here as soon as possible!"

Lin Yiwan was stunned. Could it be that the emperor was confused?

How could he leave when he was surrounded by rebels?

Do you really think these imperial doctors can help him escape unscathed?
