Chapter 217 Keep Trying

The next morning, Ye Linghan entered the palace early again.

Su Xing had woken up a long time ago, but he didn't open his eyes until Ye Linghan left.

He couldn't help but recall what happened yesterday, when Ye Linghan actually agreed to let Lian Yi enter the palace to detoxify Ye Lingrui.

He was too surprised at the time and was worried that Ye Linghan would be unhappy, so he didn't dare to ask him why he changed his mind.

But he still couldn't believe it, and always felt that Ye Linghan's transformation was too strange.

Should he go and find out whether what Ye Linghan said was true?

But then he rejected this idea. Based on his understanding of Ye Linghan, he would not do such a boring thing.

If he went to inquire, wouldn't it mean that he didn't trust Ye Linghan and it would be an insult to Ye Linghan?

No, that was too bad, he couldn't do that.

But he still cared about this matter very much and always felt that something was wrong with Ye Linghan.

At this moment, Tianyi knocked on the door and came in: "Master Su, the master wants you to come into the palace."

Su Xing was stunned for a while before he reacted: "I know, I'll get up right away."

What's going on? Ye Linghan let him enter the palace again?

Did something happen?

Su Xing was so anxious that his face turned pale. He grabbed his clothes and put them on, not even having time to look in the mirror before running to the door.

"Guard Tianyi!" Su Xing opened the door and asked anxiously, "Why did the Regent suddenly let me into the palace?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Su." Tianyi saw Su Xing's worry and explained, "It was Doctor Lian who said he needed your help."

Su Xing was stunned. It was Doctor Lian who was looking for him?

But how could Ye Linghan agree? Didn't he want him to have contact with Lian Yi?

Tianyi knew everything about this matter very well. As soon as he saw Su Xing's expression, he knew what he was confused about.

"Mr. Su, the master didn't agree with you going, but Doctor Lian insisted, so the master is very unhappy. You should be more careful when you go later."

Su Xing suddenly understood, and at the same time, his heart unconsciously lifted.

"I see." He nodded gratefully, "Thank you, Guard Tianyi."

They stopped talking and set off immediately.

Just like Tianyi said, Ye Linghan’s face looked very bad, as if there were dark clouds above his head, with lightning and thunder.

Su Xing couldn't help swallowing his saliva, then stepped forward respectfully and saluted: "Greetings, Regent."

Ye Ling looked at Su Xing coldly without saying anything.

The atmosphere in the bedroom suddenly became extremely tense, as if the entire space was frozen.

Fortunately, Li Yuan, who was concerned about the emperor, spoke up in time: "Master Su, I heard that this Doctor Lian was recommended by you?"

Su Xing looked up at Li Yuan and Lian Yi beside him, and nodded: "Reply to Li Taifu, yes."

"That's great." Li Yuan had seen Su Xing's ability and trusted the people he recommended. He said hurriedly, "Doctor Lian said that he needs your help to detoxify the emperor."

"Su Xing obeys your command." Feeling guilty and uneasy, Su Xing quickly seized the opportunity to resolve his dilemma, but before standing up, he still secretly glanced at Ye Linghan.

Although Ye Linghan didn't say anything, his eyes became increasingly cold, scaring Su Xing so much that he paused and almost lost his balance.

Under the gaze of that terrifying gaze, he slowly walked to Ye Lingrui's bed and smiled at Lian Yi: "Doctor Lian, what do you need me to do?"

Lian Yi and Su Xing looked at each other for a moment before speaking in a deep voice: "The poison that the emperor has been poisoned with is very complicated, and the detoxification requires constant attempts. In order to ensure that there is no risk of error, I need a reliable person to assist me."

Su Xing frowned at first, then his eyes flickered: "Doctor Lian already knows what poison the emperor was poisoned with?"

I thought Lian Yi was just here to give it a try, but I didn't expect him to be so amazing.

Now that’s good, if Lian Yi can cure the emperor’s poison, Xia Yunxi will not be able to threaten Ye Linghan.

Lian Yi looked embarrassed and said in a serious tone: "The poison the emperor was poisoned with is a mixture of seven poisons. I can only confirm five of them. The remaining two are still uncertain, so I can only keep trying."

Su Xing was stunned. He couldn't help but let it go again. He thought...

But Lian Yi is already very capable, after all, the imperial doctors have not been able to find out anything yet.

"Doctor Lian, don't lose heart. At least we have a direction. Detoxification is definitely just around the corner."

Hearing this, Lian Yi's originally frustrated mood suddenly changed a little.

He looked at Su Xing gratefully and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Ye Linghan who could no longer bear it: "How long are you going to procrastinate?"

In addition to Ye Linghan's usual coldness, there was also a distinct sense of oppression in his voice, which made people's heartbeats quicken and their backs feel cold.

Su Xing was afraid that Lian Yi would be punished, so he quickly turned around and responded: "Regent, calm down, we will start now."

After that, without waiting for Ye Linghan's reaction, he urged Lian Yi again: "Doctor Lian, let's get started quickly."

Lian Yi knew that Su Xing was helping him. While he was grateful, a hint of complexity and not-so-obvious helplessness emerged in his eyes.

He didn't say anything else, but nodded and turned to face Ye Lingrui.

As for Ye Linghan, he knew what Su Xing was thinking, but the more he thought about it, the more unhappy he became.

She actually defended another man in front of him. Is this guy looking for death?

If the imperial doctors weren't so incompetent, Ye Lingrui's life was in danger, and Xia Yunxi was staring at Su Xing, he really didn't want Lian Yi to come.

He secretly made up his mind that if Lian Yi failed to save Ye Lingrui, he would never forgive him!

Thinking of this, Ye Linghan's irritable mood eased a little.

Then he raised his head and looked at the two of them again, his dark eyes narrowed the whole time, sharply monitoring their every move.

But not long after, a guard came in to report that envoys from the Yan and Wu states were standing at the palace gate.

Ye Linghan still attached great importance to national affairs, so he had to keep Tianyi and turned away unhappily.

As soon as Ye Linghan left, the atmosphere in the bedroom instantly relaxed.

Su Xing, Lian Yi and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.

Lian Yi glanced at Su Xing and said, "Su Xing, feed this to the emperor first."

Su Xing took the antidote handed over by Lian Yi with both hands, adjusted his breathing, then bent down, pried open Ye Lingrui's lips with one hand, and gently fed him the antidote with the other hand.

Part of the medicine flowed down the corners of Ye Lingrui's mouth, but most of it was swallowed by him unconsciously.

While Su Xing was helping Ye Linghan wipe the area, he was also observing Ye Lingrui's condition without blinking.

"Su Xing." Lian Yi said softly, "The effect of the medicine is not that fast, relax."

Su Xing then realized how anxious he was. He looked at Lian Yi and nodded: "Yes, I understand."

But after he finished speaking, he couldn't help but look at Ye Lingrui. Lian Yi had no choice but to say, "Go sit aside for a while. I remember you are still injured."

At this moment, Ye Lingrui actually reacted.
