Doctor Lin replied respectfully, "She is treating the Second Prince. Your Majesty, please give her half an hour!"
A hint of doubt suddenly flashed across Emperor Sheng An's eyes. When he saw the queen standing next to him, he nodded gently: "Okay, I'll wait!"
The queen almost couldn't stand. She held Rong Fei's hand tightly, her face full of anxiety.
She knew that she had already aroused Lin Yiwan's dislike and she really couldn't anger her any further.
Even if you are extremely upset, you can only endure it.
Time passed by minute by minute, which was torture for everyone waiting outside.
Until a sound suddenly came from the hall, and then the pale-faced Lin Yiwan slowly opened the door of the hall.
Emperor Sheng An was about to speak when he noticed something was wrong with her.
In the end, Zhan Yan saw the opportunity quickly and hugged her tightly in his arms.
He asked hoarsely, "Wanwan, how are you?"
She replied weakly, "It's nothing, just a little bit weak. Please ask the Emperor and the Empress to go check on Yu'er. He has recovered now!"
When Emperor Sheng An heard that his son was getting better, he didn't care about anything else and immediately rushed in.
The Queen cried out with tears in her eyes: "Yu'er, my dear Yu'er, you must be well, don't scare me!"
Although the little guy was very weak, he didn't cry.
He stared with a pair of dark eyes and murmured in a trembling voice: "Mother, Aunt Wan said Yu'er will get better, you, you don't cry!"
The childish words made the queen feel sad and blame herself. She only hated God for not letting such a serious injury befall her.
Emperor Sheng An was more rational after all. He praised: "Yu'er is very brave. You are a good son of the emperor. When you recover, the emperor will take you to the hunting grounds outside the capital to ride horses. Isn't it you always wanted to go?"
Yuer grinned, he really liked Xiao Ma.
But he is in great pain now and doesn't know when he will get better.
The queen didn't dare to cry anymore. When she came to her senses, she shouted, "Who is this evil person who dares to fabricate such rumors?"
Doctor Lin quickly stepped forward to explain, "Don't be offended, Empress. The Second Prince had indeed passed away before, and it was Wanwan who brought him back to life with the Soul-Restoring Needle!"
The Queen's eyes were red as she asked, "How is Yu'er doing now?"
Old Doctor Lin frowned and said, "The Second Prince's pulse is very strange. He was not in danger of death at first, but suddenly it took a turn for the worse. Even I am very puzzled!"
Lin Yiwan has recovered her spirits at this moment. She thought that the murderer who murdered Yu'er was still hiding in the harem. Could it be that he struck again?
And you want to put the blame on your grandfather?
She quickly said, "Grandpa, where is the medicine bowl you just fed me?"
Old Doctor Lin looked around but couldn't find it.
He frowned and said, "It was here just now. Who put it away?"
Emperor Sheng An's face was suddenly filled with fury. He roared, "Who took the medicine bowl? Hand it over!"
However, there was silence all around, and no one came forward to speak.
Emperor Sheng An raised his eyes to look at Zhan Yan: "Take your men and search, even if you have to search the entire palace, you must find that medicine bowl. The real culprit behind this must not be let off!"
"Yes!" Zhan Yan quickly took the order and left.
Now Lin Yiwan is certain that someone has tampered with the medicine, otherwise, they would not have stolen the medicine bowl.
She fed the Second Prince another pill, and he dazedly asked, "Aunt Wan, I'll be fine, right? Can I go riding with Father?"
Lin Yiwan nodded: "Well, Yu'er will be fine!"
He narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Yu'er is very strong. When Yu'er kills the prey with his little bow and arrow, I'll make a warm scarf for Aunt Wan!"
Lin Yiwan reached out and rubbed the top of his head. "Good boy, just for what you said, Aunt Wan will have to cure you. Go to sleep for a while, and when you wake up, the pain in your body will be much less!"
The little guy was really sleepy. His long eyelashes flickered and he fell asleep in an instant.
The emperor and empress did not leave, but stayed in the palace waiting for the results of Zhan Yan's palace search.
Not long after, he was seen hurriedly returning with a food box, and behind him was Li Delu, who looked pale and ugly.
Lin Yiwan suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart. Could it be him?
Sure enough, when Zhan Yan presented the food box to Emperor Sheng An, he said in a complicated tone, "Your Majesty, I found the medicine bowl in Li Delu's room!"
Emperor Sheng An's eyes widened in disbelief. He asked in confusion, "Li Delu, why is it you?"
Li Delu knelt on the ground and argued: "Your Majesty, I am innocent. I don't know why the medicine bowl appeared in my room. Please investigate!"
Emperor Sheng An ignored him and urged Lin Yiwan, "Hurry up and check if there is any poison in this medicine bowl!"
Lin Yiwan carefully checked and found a very small dose of blister beetle powder in the remaining medicine.
She frowned and said, "Although the dosage of blister beetle powder is small, it is enough to be fatal to Yu'er who has been burned!"
Emperor Sheng An kicked Li Delu to the ground and said, "Li Delu, I have treated you well. How could you dare to murder my son?"
Li Delu knelt before him and begged, "Your Majesty, I am innocent. My death is not a pity, but the real murderer cannot be caught. The princes are still in danger!"
Although Emperor Sheng An was extremely angry, he actually took these words to heart.
As Li Delu was his personal eunuch, it was no exaggeration to say that he was his shadow. How could he have the time to come to the Second Prince and poison him?
He quickly collected his thoughts and asked, "Mr. Lin, when did you prepare the medicine? Who was present at the time?"
Doctor Lin quickly spoke up, "I set up a medicine stove in the adjacent side hall. I was worried about any mishaps, so I stayed there closely. I didn't expect someone to take advantage of it. I'm also at fault. Your Majesty, please punish me!"
Emperor Sheng An waved his hand: "Now is not the time to find fault. We must find out who is responsible for the omission. Only in this way can the real culprit be exposed!"
Lin Yiwan suddenly thought of something and asked anxiously, "Grandfather, where did you get the herbs? Did you send someone to get them from the Imperial Pharmacy?"
Doctor Lin nodded. "Yes, I went to get it myself. There's still some left. Do you want to check it out?"
He handed the remaining herbs to Lin Yiwan, his face full of worry.
Lin Yiwan immediately came to a conclusion. She whispered, "The cork was stained with a layer of blister beetle powder. The two herbs have very similar scents, so they fooled my grandfather!"
Doctor Lin felt extremely guilty. He blamed himself and said, "Your Majesty, this is my fault. If it weren't for my negligence, the Second Prince wouldn't be in danger!"
Emperor Sheng An interrupted in a deep voice: "You are certainly wrong, but the one who should be punished more is the one who tampered with the herbs!"
