Yun Zheng was the only daughter of the richest man in Daqi, wealthy beyond measure. In her previous life, she married into the Marquis's estate with a dowry covering ten li, only to become a la...
Chapter 240 There is only one antidote!
The eldest prince vomited black blood, which scared everyone.
The emperor was filled with shock and anger, and shouted, "The princes must be cured. If anything happens to them, no one will survive."
"Yes." The imperial doctors rushed forward, each taking charge of a prince. They induced vomiting, fed him special detoxification pills, asked palace servants to prepare mung bean soup for enema, and gave him acupuncture to slow the spread of the poison.
For a moment, the scene was in chaos.
The emperor was furious. How dare someone poison someone right under his nose?
He looked at his tea bowl and had it tested for poison.
The doctor examined the patient for a long time, his brows furrowed, and he seemed very confused.
"Doctor, what kind of poison is this?"
The doctor's face turned pale. "I have never seen this kind of poison before, and I can't tell what it is at the moment."
Everyone was worried. The specially prepared antidote pills could only alleviate the toxicity, and they had to find a way to prescribe the right medicine.
If it is a strange poison and the ingredients cannot be detected, how can we detoxify it?
The emperor couldn't help but vent his anger, "Where's that dog servant who tested the poison?"
The eunuch looked nervous. He had arranged all these things himself, so who could have known that something would go wrong?
"He just went to the toilet."
Escaped? The emperor's eyes narrowed dangerously, murderous intent surging in his eyes.
A bunch of traitors and villains.
"Go search and bring the person back."
After a while, the guards came back carrying a warm body.
"Your Majesty, Xiao Anzi has taken effect from the poison."
The emperor closed his eyes and forced himself to remain calm. "Seal off the scene, arrest all those who came into contact with the tranquilizing soup, torture them severely, and make sure to find out the truth."
"Pass on my decree. No one is allowed to move without my permission."
Yun Zheng sat quietly in the corner, not saying a word, secretly frightened.
That evil hand stretched too far, even lurking beside the emperor.
She frowned slightly, it seemed that the palace was not safe either.
A figure fell to the ground, groaning in pain, "Save me, save me quickly."
It was Lei Xintian. She was also poisoned and curled up on the ground in pain, sweating profusely.
But the imperial doctors were only concerned with treating the prince and had no time to care about a little beauty.
She struggled to use up all her strength and shouted loudly, "Your Majesty, I don't want to die, save me."
The emperor finally noticed her and frowned slightly, "Doctor Zhang."
"yes."
In fact, Doctor Zhang was not good at detoxification, he just stuffed the detoxification pills prepared by the Imperial Hospital into Lei Xintian's mouth.
At this moment, the doctor suddenly spoke loudly.
"Your Majesty, I've remembered. This is a secret medicine from the previous dynasty, Tora Incense. It's extremely poisonous and was used to punish concubines who committed crimes."
"Although we used antidote pills to temporarily alleviate the toxicity, it won't last long."
The former royal family? A chill rose in the emperor's heart. After so many years, they were actually trying to revive the dynasty?
"Doctor, you said you can't solve it?"
The chief physician was extremely panicked. "This is a secret medicine with complex ingredients. It will take some time to research. However, the princes can't hold out that long now."
The emperor shouted angrily, "I command you to heal the princes at all costs. Otherwise, your property will be confiscated and you will be executed."
The imperial doctors were trembling with fear.
"Oh no, Miss Lei..."
Everyone watched helplessly as Miss Lei spit out mouthfuls of black blood until her eyes rolled back, but they were helpless to do anything.
She was the last one to drink the soup, but also the last one to take the antidote pill, as the poison had already taken hold of her heart.
Yun Zheng felt cold all over when she thought about how she almost got hit.
Suddenly, the doctor looked over and said, "Princess Jinyun, I heard that you have a relationship with the famous Ghost Doctor. He is an expert in both medicine and poison, and no one can rival him in making poisons. I wonder if he gave you a pill that can cure all poisons?"
Everyone looked over at once, their eyes filled with anticipation, desire, and ecstasy.
Yun Zheng nodded without hesitation, "Yes."
Everyone was overjoyed and didn't expect there to be such an unexpected turn of events.
The chief physician was delighted. "That's great! Saving lives is like putting out a fire. Princess Jinyun, please lend a hand."
Yun Zheng remained silent.
The Queen suddenly snorted coldly and asked loudly, "Why? Princess Jinyun refuses to save people?"
Yun Zheng frowned, looking troubled. "Your Majesty, the ghost doctor did give me a Heart-Clearing Hundred Poison Pill, and I'm giving it to Your Majesty."
She respectfully presented a crystal clear jade bottle with both hands.
The emperor poured it out and saw that it was a pill emitting a fragrant aroma.
The key is, there is only one.
Who should this be given to?
Seeing this, the Queen's eyes flickered slightly. "Princess Jinyun, how could you only get one? You are unwilling to give it to me, right? The Emperor has treated you well, you must not repay kindness with hatred."
Yun Zheng was certain that the queen must have taken some wrong medicine and was suddenly very dissatisfied with her.
Because she didn't stand on the Fourth Prince's side?
Sometimes, refusing to take sides is also a mistake.
She didn't face it head-on, but looked at the doctor.
"Chief Physician, from your tone, it seems you know something about the Ghost Doctor. You should be well aware of how precious the Qingxin Jiedu Pills are."
The doctor was silent for a moment. Facing everyone's hopeful eyes, he felt a lot of pressure.
"Qingxin Jiedu Pills are the holy detoxification product in the world. They are made from dozens of precious medicinal herbs. It takes countless efforts and hard work to obtain just one or two pills. They can cure a hundred poisons. Everyone in the martial arts world is eager to buy them, paying millions of gold to buy them."
The Queen was surprised. "So precious?"
The doctor stared at the pill in the emperor's hand with burning eyes, and wanted to snatch it away to study it.
"It's more than precious. Having this pill is like having an extra life."
Upon hearing this, the emperor carefully put the pill back into the jade bottle.
Yun Zheng took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, I have saved your life. Heaven and earth can bear witness to my loyalty."
The emperor nodded slightly, "I know your loyalty."
"The Queen is a woman in the deep palace. She doesn't understand these things. Don't take them to heart."
The queen's expression froze. She couldn't believe that the emperor would say this to her and show her no mercy for a woman.
In this case, what prestige does she still have among her subjects? Damn it!
"I dare not."
The emperor's mind raced, "I want to see the ghost doctor, Jinyun, what do you think?"
Meeting people was fake, because he wanted the ghost doctor to help save people.
Yun Zheng didn't even blink, and said without hesitation, "Everyone in the world is your subject. If you want to see them, then go ahead and meet them!"
The emperor was very satisfied with her attitude. This was what a loyal and good minister should be like, always sharing the king's worries.
Unlike those guys who pretend to obey but actually disobey, always doing things in secret.
"Okay, okay, you are okay."
"Come here, summon the ghost doctor."
"yes."
The palace maids hurriedly retreated.
The Fourth Prince, sweating profusely from the pain, looked eagerly at the jade bottle, "Father, I can't bear it any longer. Please give me some medicine."
He asked openly, but the Second Prince was different. He said pitifully, "Father, I am a cripple. Please don't use such a precious antidote pill on me."
The dying eldest prince could not open his eyes, but was still struggling to speak.
"Father, my condition is the most serious. I feel like I'm dying. There's no need to waste the pills. Give them to my brothers."
The third prince's eyes were red, and his face was full of reluctance, and his admiration for Ru was beyond words.
"Father, I will no longer be able to serve you as a filial son. Please take care of yourself."
Yun Zheng sighed silently. They were all very troublesome and had all kinds of tricks up their sleeves.
I just don't know who will get this pill.
This is not an antidote pill, it is clearly the Holy Heart.
It is the emperor who chooses the future crown prince!
