However, considering what Yang Xiu and Yang Shu had done, and the tragedy that had happened before, no matter how beautifully Li Shan spoke, he only felt it was ironic.
Emperor Taihe only glanced at the night-shining pearl casually before throwing it aside and concentrating on reading the letter of apology from Prince Zhou. Finally, he sighed in mock resignation, "Since Uncle Zhou also believes that Yang Xiu and Yang Shu's crimes are unforgivable, then I will follow Uncle Zhou's wishes and demote them to commoners."
In the Zhou Palace in the capital, Yang Xiu anxiously waited for news from outside.
Ever since the incident that day, he has been under house arrest in the palace, and can only wait for news day by day in fear.
Days like this made him feel as if there was a sharp knife hanging over his head, ready to fall at any moment and cut him all over.
Yang Xiu hated this life, but he dared not vent his anger. This was the capital, not Suzhou. Here, he was like a fish on the chopping board of Emperor Taihe, at the mercy of his will.
So he could only suppress the violent thoughts surging in his heart day after day, to prevent them from breaking out accidentally and giving Emperor Taihe an excuse to execute him.
After suffering like this for several days, he finally waited for the Chief Secretary of the Palace to come today!
"Your Highness, Li Changshi is here!"
The attendant came running to announce the good news. Yang Xiu was immediately surprised and happy. He stood up quickly and wanted to go to greet him in person.
Perhaps it was because he stood up too quickly or because he was weak after being poisoned, but as soon as Yang Xiucai stood up, he staggered and almost fell to the ground.
"Be careful, Your Highness!"
The servant was so frightened that he rushed forward and held him up.
As soon as Yang Xiu stood firm, he couldn't wait to urge: "Help me out quickly! Li Changshi has come from afar, I want to go and greet him personally!"
He now urgently wants to know what King Zhou is thinking. Moreover, Li Shan is a subordinate trusted by King Zhou and has a lot of face in front of King Zhou. Although he is the crown prince, he cannot be negligent in the slightest.
The attendant also wanted to know what King Zhou meant, and at the same time wanted to please Li Shan, so he cooperated very well and helped him out.
However, not long after Yang Xiu walked out of the courtyard, he met Li Shan who came hurriedly from outside.
Li Shanyi, noticing his pale face, quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully, "Your humble servant greets His Highness the Crown Prince! Why is His Highness so pale? Has the poison not been cured?"
When Yang Xiu heard the word "detoxification", his expression suddenly became even uglier.
"Cough, cough, cough..." He coughed a few times, then said weakly, "This is not the place to talk. Li Changshi, why don't you follow me in first."
Upon hearing this, Li Changshi hurried forward, held one of his arms, and together with his attendants, helped him back to the room, one on each side.
Only after helping Yang Xiu sit down on the chair did Li Changshi release his hand and ask again, "Has His Royal Highness always been this weak? Didn't that divine doctor detoxify His Royal Highness? Or was she also helpless?"
Seeing how concerned he was, Yang Xiu could only weakly say, "The medicine she prescribed was somewhat effective, but it couldn't completely detoxify her. Later, she went into the mountains to collect herbs, and the people around her were poisoned, and two of herbalists died."
He paused here, his expression becoming even uglier. "After returning, she collected the medicine boy's body, saying she would take them back to their hometown for burial. That place is a bit remote, and she'll have to take care of the funeral after she gets there. I'm afraid she won't be able to return to Beijing in the short term, cough cough cough..."
Having said that, he started coughing again.
The attendant quickly brought him some medicine and fed it to him. After Yang Xiu calmed down for a moment, he looked straight at Li Changshi and said, "Since Li Changshi is here, I believe he has brought my father's message. Please tell me the truth and don't hide anything."
He asked directly, but he kept looking into Li Changshi's eyes, as if forcing him to answer.
Li Changshi had no choice but to advise, "Your Highness must be aware that this matter is indeed quite troublesome. Not only were the Black Kirin Guards protecting the Divine Doctor poisoned, but two of the medicine boys also died. This matter simply cannot be resolved peacefully."
