The sickly son died young? After the marriage exchange, I will bring prosperity to his entire clan f

"Without absolute certainty, we can only give it a try."

The crown prince clenched his fist. "What percentage?"

"Fifty percent."

Ling Silang was 70% confident, but the other party's identity was special, so he couldn't say too much. If he couldn't cure the disease, it would be even more troublesome.

"rule."

"Your Highness, I need to administer acupuncture to His Majesty first, and then prepare the medicine."

"it is good."

Ling Silang naturally didn't bring any needles when he came in, but knowing that Du Mingxian was there, he could only quietly reach into his pocket, seemingly to take out a needle, but actually muttering to himself, "I need a needle case."

Suddenly, a needle case appeared on the dragon bed. Du Mingxian had thrown it there. She intended to throw it into Ling Silang's arms, but she sensed the wrong direction in the space and ended up throwing it onto the dragon bed instead. What a hassle.

The Crown Prince was lost in thought and didn't notice the commotion on Ling Silang's side. At that moment, he was thinking about why his father had been poisoned and who had poisoned him.

With the needle kit, Ling Silang immediately began to insert the needles. Although he wasn't entirely confident, his hand was extremely steady and fast when inserting the needles.

After he finished administering the acupuncture, he turned to look at the Crown Prince, who was still lost in thought. “Your Highness, the poison that His Majesty was given must have started a long time ago. It’s a slow-acting poison. Normally, nothing can be seen, but if the other party increases the dosage, it will cause His Majesty to show signs of acute illness and then die.”

It was premeditated.

"What kind of poison might they have found? So many imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital have come to take your pulse, how come they couldn't find anything?"

If Ling Silang hadn't always been one of his men, he would have suspected that Ling Silang was the one who poisoned his father.

Ling Silang couldn't explain what happened at the Imperial Hospital either. He did indeed diagnose the poison by taking the pulse, but it was a type of poison that most people couldn't detect.

"Your Highness, everyone knows that His Majesty is seriously ill. What will you say when he wakes up?"

"These are minor matters. As for the medicine preparation, you can leave the palace in a little while, prepare the medicine, and then come back in." The Crown Prince was still somewhat uneasy after saying this, but it was clearly impossible to ask him to leave the palace now.

Ling Silang knew that the Crown Prince couldn't leave now, and it wasn't realistic for him to come back in after leaving the palace. The palace wasn't a place he could just come and go as he pleased.

"Your Highness, may I go to the Imperial Hospital?"

"No, there will be records of all kinds of medicines there, and it will be difficult to explain later."

Ling Silang stopped speaking, and the Crown Prince waved his hand, "After the needles are removed, you can leave the palace directly. You are now a guard of the Eastern Palace, and no one will say anything. I will wait for you here."

"Yes."

Ling Silang remained silent until the time came to remove the needles, then he left.

When he went out, the Empress and others were still waiting outside, but they were already sitting in chairs.

He bent slightly, the key being to prevent anyone from seeing his face. Fortunately, it was dark at the moment, and only the light of the lanterns illuminated the darkness.

Only after leaving the crowd did he walk out of the palace.

Once they reached the outside of the palace and were sure no one was around, he spoke up, "There's no one here."

Du Mingxian appeared and directly brought him into the space.

"You only have a 50% chance of winning over the Emperor?"

"Seventy percent of the time, I didn't dare tell the truth in front of the Crown Prince."

“I’m fairly confident that there’s a 70% chance.” Du Mingxian’s expression was serious at this moment. “I’m just worried that you won’t be able to bring the medicine into the palace later.”

"You mean things might change in a bit?"

"That's just my guess, it's hard to say for sure."

"I'll prepare the medicine first. This antidote is best brewed, not made into pills, as that would be more troublesome. When the Emperor is in the palace, everything that goes into his mouth is subject to very strict inspection."

Du Mingxian naturally knew, "Let's prepare it first, and then we'll talk about it after it's prepared."

"Ah."

Ling Silang was preparing medicine, while Du Mingxian was feeling a bit bored in her spatial dimension. She was thinking of going out for a stroll to see if anything was amiss when she heard sounds of movement on the street – it was soldiers.

Her heart leaped into her throat. She instantly teleported out of the space, flew onto the roof, and observed the situation in the capital.

The night was very dark, and those people were all moving forward in the dark, heading in the direction of the palace. No one knew who they were, but mobilizing troops at night was not a good thing.

Du Mingxian moved forward quietly until she was still some distance from the palace gate. She found a high spot, took out her night vision goggles, and when she looked over there... the palace gate had already opened from the inside, and those people walked in silently.

Her face turned pale, and she slipped into the space. Ling Silang was still preparing medicine. "There has been a palace coup."

Ling Silang's hand trembled, and the medicine fell onto the table. "Is there really a palace coup?"

"Yes, I saw the palace gates open, and those people rushed in silently." Du Mingxian calmed down in just a few breaths. "Those people are definitely not the Crown Prince's men. I need to inform the people in the Crown Prince's residence now. Even if the Crown Prince is not here, they must have made some arrangements."

"Okay, you go."

Du Mingxian left the space and ran to the Crown Prince's residence as fast as she could. After arriving at the residence, she found the steward and said, "After my husband left the palace, he encountered a lot of soldiers. He felt something was wrong, so he followed them for a while and found that they had gone into the palace. He felt that something was not right and was in a hurry to take care of other things, so he asked me to come and tell you."

The housekeeper was somewhat skeptical of the truth of the matter, but Du Mingxian had no time to talk to him anymore and turned to leave.

She needed to inform her father, the Minister of War. If anything happened in the capital, her father would be the first to take the blame; it was his duty.

She was a little tired at the moment, and there was still some distance between the East Palace and the Wen residence, so she directly led out a horse from her spatial storage. The sound of the horse's hooves was particularly loud in the quiet night.

She rushed to the outside of the Wen residence, put the horses into her spatial storage, and climbed over the wall to enter the residence.

The Wen family had guards, and Lord Wen also had secret guards in his courtyard. Du Mingxian did not deliberately hide her approach, and those people noticed her approach in just a moment and came out to stop her.

"who?"

"It's me. I need to speak with my father about something," Du Mingxian said, trying to keep her voice as calm as possible.

Those who followed Lord Wen all knew of Du Mingxian's existence, and were somewhat surprised to hear her voice.

"Young Miss, the master has already gone to sleep."

Du Mingxian thought it wouldn't be appropriate for her to just rush into the room. "Go knock on the door and tell Father I have something urgent, something that's extremely important."

"Yes."

Someone knocked on the door, and Du Mingxian stood in the courtyard waiting. She heard the conversation between the servant and Lord Wen, and then saw the candlelight in Lord Wen's room being lit.

A moment later, Lord Wen came out while straightening his clothes, his face full of anxiety. "Why did you come at this time?"

"Father, a palace coup has occurred."

"what?"

“An hour ago, His Majesty suddenly fell ill. The Crown Prince and others went to the palace. Father did not receive the news?”

Lord Wen shook his head, "I caught a cold and haven't been to the palace for the past two days. I've asked for leave."

No wonder Lord Wen didn't hear a word about such a big matter.

Du Mingxian recounted everything she knew, including the news that she had watched the soldiers enter the palace.
