Under the arrangement of Doctor Wen, Xiaochun put on the clothes of a palace medical officer and was secretly sent into the palace.

Following Doctor Wen to diagnose the emperor's pulse, after a Gu insect test, it was confirmed that the emperor was indeed poisoned by the Wu Shi San.

"Master, I can now confirm that His Majesty has indeed been poisoned by the Five Stones Powder, but this poison may not be so easy to cure. Moreover, if you want to get rid of the addiction later, you can only rely on your own willpower. This disciple is powerless!"

Xiaochun looked embarrassed, and felt a little uneasy as she looked at the bowl of medicine in her hand. However, Doctor Wen knew that there was no other way at the moment. As for the issue of withdrawal, they would discuss it after the emperor woke up.

"We can discuss the withdrawal issue later. The most urgent thing right now is to wake His Majesty up. Besides, I've read countless medical books about the Five Stones Powder and never knew it could cause someone to fall into a coma. What on earth is going on?"

Xiaochun had anticipated this when she learned that the emperor had been in a coma.

"Master, Wushisan will certainly not make people remain unconscious, but if used in excessive quantities and combined with tonics and sleeping pills, the two drugs will counteract each other and cause people to fall into suspended animation."

This phenomenon of suspended animation is rare, but Doctor Wen is familiar with it. That is to say, a person will be like a living dead.

The poisoned person's body functions normally and he is conscious, but he is unable to control his body, that's all.

"You are saying that His Majesty is aware of everything and can even hear us talking, but cannot control his dragon body?"

Xiaochun nodded. This was something he had experienced when he was learning about the basic level of poisonous insects. If she had experimented on her own body, it would have been true.

Hearing this, Doctor Wen couldn't help but feel a little scared. His Majesty must have been very anxious during this period, because he had been whispering in His Majesty's ear about what was happening outside.

"Xiaochun, do you have any way to rescue His Majesty now?"

Xiaochun hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Master, I do have this method, but I'm afraid it might hurt the princes or the little princess."

"Why do you say that?"

"Master, in order to awaken His Majesty, we must exchange our essence and blood, but this will cause great harm to the person who exchanges the essence and blood."

Doctor Wen was stunned for a moment. At this moment, he was extremely grateful in his heart. His mother had divided the emperor's blood and essence into two parts and placed half in her own body.

"Xiaochun, do you know how to exchange essence and blood?"

Xiaochun was stunned for a moment. Did they really have to sacrifice a prince? But she didn't have time to ask any more questions. She had learned about the Gu worm therapy of exchanging essence and blood, but she had never tried it before, so she didn't know if it would work.

"Master, I, your second Taoist disciple, have learned this method of exchanging blood and essence with poisonous insects, but we have never tried it on humans. Not to mention humans, we haven't even succeeded in testing it on rabbits."

Xiaochun was so hesitant, but Doctor Wen could no longer care about much at this time. He knew very well that if he could not wake up the emperor, things would be troublesome.

"Xiaochun, don't be in a hurry to go back and try it on other things first. We can make a decision after Master has reported this to the three princes."

Afterwards, Xiaochun was sent back, and Doctor Wen found a way to deliver the letter to the three princes.

At this time, the second prince had also secretly entered the palace, but he was mixed in with a group of young eunuchs and finally met his two brothers.

"According to Doctor Wen's method, must one of us three choose to help Father survive this disaster?"

The eldest prince shook his head, because Doctor Wen did not explain this point. He only told them not to worry and that he would have his own way to solve it.

But the third prince was extremely conflicted. If the three of them were not used, then his father would only have his little sister left.

"Is Doctor Wen trying to trade my little sister's blood and essence for her? She's so young, and she's been starving for so long, something bad might happen to her!"

The second prince felt that this would not be the case. Doctor Wen also knew the younger sister's identity and would never use the younger sister's body to do this.

But he did not suggest that the three of them prepare it. The second prince was puzzled about this matter, but then he suddenly thought of an old story.

"We don't need to ask any more questions at this point. Perhaps Doctor Wen really has some other solution. We just need to figure out whether we can bear the consequences of this matter!"

The two brothers finally realized that what they were worried about right now was not who would replace the blood, but who would take charge of the world if something went wrong?

After realizing this, the second prince and the third prince turned their heads and locked their gazes on their eldest brother!

"What are you doing? Why are you looking at me?"

"Brother, what do you think? My brother and I have never seen any memorials. As far as we know, you have been with our father all this time, so you must have read a lot of memorials, right?"

The eldest prince instantly understood what his two younger brothers meant, but at this time of crisis, the eldest prince became shy.

"I read the memorial because you didn't come back!"

"Don't be so unreasonable, big brother, don't refuse anymore. I've heard from the Mu family that the emperor intends to choose you as the crown prince!"

The second prince was very calm. When he said this, there was no jealousy in his heart. He was only thinking about how to support his elder brother.

The Third Prince smashed his fist into his palm and instantly jumped up from the stool.

"That's all. If anything happens to our father, we two brothers will join forces and ensure that our eldest brother ascends the throne. No matter what, this world is still ours. If it falls into the hands of Prime Minister Wen, who is ruthless and merciless, it will cause great suffering to the people."

The three brothers have made up their minds that the third prince will go out of the city to dispatch troops and generals to take control of the Imperial Guards as soon as possible.

The second prince was responsible for rescuing the Mu family and winning over the major court officials.

As for the eldest prince, he continued to stay in the palace and tried to find a way to protect Doctor Wen and rescue the emperor. He also had to protect Concubine Mu and the little princess.

After the three brothers made their arrangements, they began to act.

At this time, Concubine Mu was still imprisoned in the Inner Court. The once noble concubine was now trapped in a dungeon, looking extremely miserable.

However, what she was worried about at this time were her father, brother and little daughter.

The imperial concubine angrily smashed the food that was delivered to her, and suddenly saw a ball of paper rolling out of it.

The imperial concubine was shocked, thinking that the three princes might come up with another trick, and hurriedly picked up the paper ball. As expected, it was just as she expected.

Three days later, the queen has been constantly working together with her father and brother to win over the ministers.

By the way, he also used the excuse that a large amount of dirty silver was found in the Mu family and locked up all the members of the Mu family in prison.

The second prince found a way to sneak into the Ministry of Justice.
