Chapter 218: The Bedroom is Angry
Ye Lingrui's sudden vomiting of blood immediately frightened everyone present, especially Li Yuan, who was most worried about Ye Lingrui.
He quickly frowned and asked sternly, "How could the emperor be like this?"
Lian Yi was not in a hurry. While cleaning up the bloodstains for Ye Lingrui, he calmly replied, "Don't worry, Master Taifu. This is a normal reaction. It means that the formula of this antidote has been ruled out."
After all, he was the emperor. How could Li Yuan be at ease? He continued to question: "Are you sure the emperor's condition will not get worse?"
Lian Yi finished cleaning the blood on Ye Lingrui's mouth and said calmly, "Master Taifu, please ask the imperial physician to feel the emperor's pulse, and you will know that what I said is true."
Li Yuan did not delay and immediately turned to look at the imperial doctors.
The leading imperial physician understood and hurried forward to check.
After a thorough examination, the imperial physician bowed and reported to Li Yuan: "Your Excellency, the emperor's condition has not worsened and is still the same as before."
Li Yuan was relieved and said to Lian Yi in a deep voice: "Does this happen every time I try?"
"Replying to Your Excellency." Lian Yi bowed with both hands: "The reaction may be different each time, and I cannot give a definite answer, but don't worry, Your Excellency, I have strictly controlled the dosage, and even if the medicine is not suitable for the disease, it will not aggravate the emperor's condition."
Li Yuan was no longer as suspicious as before. He nodded solemnly: "I understand."
Su Xing had been watching from the side with trepidation, and finally felt relieved when he saw this.
He looked at Ye Lingrui's pale face, and his heart couldn't help but tighten again. He urged Lian Yi: "Doctor Lian, shall we continue?"
Lian Yi nodded and started fiddling with the pile of bottles and jars beside the bed again.
Su Xing waited quietly until Lian Yi prepared a new antidote.
Before they knew it, they had tried it more than a dozen times.
Sadly, none of them worked.
But neither of them was discouraged, because they knew very well that this was a matter of probability and it would not be easy to succeed.
They just looked at each other and started over again.
Time passed quickly, from morning to afternoon, until it was dark, and the two were still busy around Ye Lingrui's bed.
It was not until Ye Linghan came in and the sound of palace servants bowing was heard that the two were forced to stop.
From the moment Ye Linghan entered the room, he stared at the two busy figures with his cold eyes. The more he looked at them, the more annoying they were. He wished he could rush over and separate them immediately.
But doing so would be beneath his dignity, so he had to suppress the impulse and asked coldly: "What's wrong?"
Su Xing spoke again: "Reporting to the Regent, we have not yet confirmed the remaining two poisons, but we have ruled out dozens of them."
He was so active not only because he was worried that Ye Linghan would vent his anger on Lian Yi, but also because he felt guilty and wanted to be more proactive.
Ye Linghan didn't appreciate it. He just felt very uncomfortable with the way Su Xing always considered others.
He slowly looked at Lian Yi and said disdainfully: "It seems that I think too highly of you..."
Lian Yi's face turned pale and he knelt on his knees: "Regent, please calm down. I am sure I can do it. Please give me some more time."
"Give you some more time?" Ye Linghan's voice became deeper and deeper, like a towering mountain, slowly pressing towards Lian Yi: "You should know how much time the emperor has left."
After checking Ye Lingrui's condition, Lian Yi said the same thing as Xia Yunxi. From the time the poison took effect, Ye Lingrui only had seven days to live.
This is also the reason why Ye Linghan agreed to let Lian Yi detoxify Ye Lingrui and called Su Xing for assistance.
"Yes! I know." Although Lian Yi wanted to remain calm, his voice was still trembling.
Su Xing was anxiously standing by, wanting to say something but afraid of making things worse.
Li Yuan suddenly stepped forward and knelt on his knees: "Regent, I want to see the Queen Mother."
Ye Linghan frowned suddenly, and looked at Li Yuan with dark eyes: "What did you say?"
"I want to persuade the Queen Mother. This is the fastest way to save the Emperor."
Ye Linghan did not respond immediately, but stared at Li Yuan for a moment before he moved his thin lips slightly: "Have you forgotten what I said?"
As the words fell, Li Yuan's body trembled obviously, but he did not give up: "Regent, please calm down. I am just trying to fulfill my duty as a minister."
After a pause, he continued, "Or ask the Regent to tell me what conditions the Queen Mother has put forward."
"How dare you!" Ye Linghan suddenly became angry, and a terrifying murderous aura emanated from his body. Although it was invisible, everyone could feel it.
In addition to being scared, Su Xing was also shocked.
He thought Ye Linghan just didn't tell him, but he didn't expect that he didn't even tell Li Yuan.
Why?
Why did Ye Linghan do this?
Isn’t this a major event in the government? Ye Linghan shouldn’t have kept it secret!
"Prince Regent!" Li Yuan was excited, and the muscles on his face trembled constantly. It was not because of fear, but because he was worried about the court and the emperor as a minister: "The emperor's life is at stake. You should do everything you can at this moment. No matter what conditions the queen mother puts forward, you should not refuse!"
Ye Linghan knew that Li Yuan was not afraid of death, and threats and intimidation were useless to him.
So he didn't lose his temper again, but gradually calmed down, and said with a momentum that would not allow anyone to resist: "I said, her request cannot be fulfilled!"
After saying that, he looked at Su Xing fiercely and ordered coldly: "Go back home!"
Although Su Xing was frightened to death, he did not move. Instead, he risked his life and said, "Your Majesty, I want to stay here and continue to assist Doctor Lian."
He didn't mean to go against Ye Linghan. Instead, he did this to help Ye Linghan rescue Ye Lingrui as soon as possible.
Ye Linghan didn't care about all that. He was extremely angry at Su Xing's answer.
But just as he was about to have an attack, Lian Yi suddenly said, "We can't keep testing medicine. The emperor's health needs some rest. Su Xing, you should go back and rest first."
Su Xing was stunned, and looked at Lian Yi with disbelief. When he saw the affirmation in Lian Yi's eyes, he nodded helplessly: "Okay, I understand."
Then he raised his foot and walked towards Ye Linghan.
When Su Xing came up to him, Ye Linghan glared at him fiercely before turning around and leaving.
Su Xing shrank his shoulders in fear and quickly followed.
Looking at Ye Linghan's leaving back, Li Yuan sighed unwillingly.
Lian Yi's gaze followed their backs, and the complexity hidden in his eyes gradually emerged.
After the two figures disappeared, Li Yuan gave Lian Yi some instructions before leaving.
Originally, he was walking with a sad face, heavy steps, hunched over, looking like he had suffered a serious blow.
But halfway through the walk, he suddenly stopped.
After pausing for a moment, he turned around abruptly, and the decadence and sadness on his face disappeared, replaced by a terrifying determination.
