When the imperial physician said this, everyone was shocked.
Yao Jinse couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with my master? Doctor Li, you can't even cure it?!"
The two eunuchs next to her hurriedly pulled Yao Jinse to the back and told her to shut up.
The young emperor didn't care about Yao Jinse's impoliteness and said to the imperial physician, "Imperial Physician Li, your medical skills are outstanding in the entire Imperial Hospital. What on earth is wrong with Lord Han that you say it can't be cured?"
The imperial physician sighed and said, "Master Han, he is not sick, but poisoned."
"What? Poisoned!" The little emperor was shocked, and everyone else also widened their eyes in shock.
[Wow, no way! Han Lie is poisoned?] Even Xia Miaoyuan was shocked.
Doctor Li frowned and whispered, "If my diagnosis is correct, Lord Han has been poisoned. It takes about a month from the time of ingestion to the time of death."
"Just now, I examined Lord Han's pulse and found that the poison has reached his heart. It is already beyond treatment."
"After taking this kind of poison, people usually don't feel any unusual symptoms. By the time they start feeling unwell and seek medical attention, the poison has already penetrated their lungs."
When everyone heard this, they all opened their mouths in shock, unable to speak.
Yao Jinse, who was standing behind the eunuch, had her legs go weak and collapsed to the ground.
[Wow! How cruel! Who poisoned Old Man Han?]
[Is it Liang Chaozong? Or the Jiang family?] Xia Miaoyuan pondered.
[Hey! Who cares? No matter who poisoned him, Han Lie is going to die soon! This is a great joyous occasion!]
Xia Miaoyuan pursed her lips tightly and said nothing, but her heart was already surging with emotion.
The little emperor was silent for a moment before asking, "If he cannot be cured, is there any way to prolong Lord Han's life?"
The imperial physician frowned and said, "I have no experience in this area. For now, I can only give Lord Han some precious medicinal herbs such as cordyceps, deer antlers, and thousand-year-old ginseng, and give it a try."
The little emperor pressed his hand and said in a deep voice, "Then go and prepare the medicine."
Doctor Li bowed and withdrew.
At this moment, there was a loud bang and the sound of porcelain breaking suddenly came from the inner room.
Everyone looked inside and found that Han Lie had woken up.
He must have heard what the imperial physician said, and in his excitement he tried to force himself to stand up, but accidentally broke the teacup on the coffee table by the window.
"What did the imperial physician say...I'm going to die?" Han Lie struggled to support his body, raised his head, and asked with difficulty.
The little emperor came to Han Lie and comforted him, "Don't worry, Han Duru, I will find another miracle doctor to treat you."
The little emperor's words were merely a casual remark, meant to comfort him. Han Lie clearly didn't take them seriously. He didn't reply, but instead stared coldly ahead, saying slowly, "It's him...it must be him..."
Han Lie's tone became increasingly fierce, as if he had exhausted all his strength. He gritted his teeth and said, "Liang..."
But after all, his body was still too weak, and he fainted again before he could finish this sentence.
It was already evening when Xia Miaoyuan was sent back to Chang Mansion by the young emperor.
As soon as she came back, Xia Miaoyuan didn't care about the fatigue from the journey, nor did she care that she was sweating all over and needed to take a shower. As soon as she entered the mansion, she hurried to find the second prince.
In the second prince's room, Xia Miaoyuan lowered her voice and told him what happened in Nanyuan today.
When the Second Prince heard Zhu Ling and Liang Chaozong running out in disheveled clothes and being seen by everyone, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
When he heard that Han Lie was found to be poisoned, he was surprised and happy.
"Second brother, tell me, was Han Lie poisoned by Liang Chaozong or Jiang?" Xia Miaoyuan asked.
She had thought about this problem for a long time, but still couldn't be sure. Both were possible, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that these two people would not be willing to poison her.
The Second Prince stroked his chin, "Since Liang Chaozong has already hooked up with Zhu Ling, it must be right before his eyes to replace Han Lie. It seems there is no need for him to poison Han Lie."
"If he becomes a powerful official in Dai Viet, and keeps Han Lie, Han Lie might even stand by him and assist him for the sake of his daughter."
"If Han Lie is poisoned and evidence is left behind, it will be disadvantageous to me."
"As for Jiang, I told her that old secret last time, but she didn't quite believe it. Besides, she seems to be quite sincere towards Han Lie. Would she be willing to poison Han Lie to death?"
The second prince couldn't figure out who poisoned Han Lie.
Just then, there was a noise from the rear window. It was Jin Hu who was guarding the door. He rushed in and jumped to the rear window.
"Who?" Jin Hu shouted.
"It's me!" Yue Haoyun's familiar voice came in.
Immediately afterwards, the rear window was pushed open and a tall black shadow jumped in.
"I think it was Jiang who did it." Yue Haoyun said as he tidied his clothes.
The Second Prince raised an eyebrow, "Were you eavesdropping just now?"
Yue Haoyun curled his lips, "What do you mean by eavesdropping? I'm listening openly, okay? I wanted to come in and listen, but seeing that you two siblings were so engrossed in your conversation, I couldn't bear to interrupt."
"I waited until you and your sister finished talking before I came in."
The second prince glared at Jin Hu fiercely.
Jin Hu lowered his head in shame and immediately retreated to the door.
As a personal bodyguard, he didn't even notice there was someone outside the window. It was really a dereliction of duty.
The Second Prince gathered his emotions and asked Yue Haoyun, "Why are you so sure it was Jiang who poisoned me?"
Yue Haoyun sat down on a cross-back chair, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and then said, "A few days ago, I took advantage of the fact that the Jiang family had just bought servants for their new mansion and took the opportunity to insert some spies there."
"A few days ago, our informant said that they saw Jiang and her personal maid quietly go to the ghost market in the middle of the night."
"What is a ghost market?" Xia Miaoyuan couldn't help but ask.
"The ghost market is a market that only takes place at night. Things sold in the ghost market are all things that cannot be seen in public." The second prince explained simply.
After explaining, the Second Prince turned to Yue Haoyun and asked, "Do you know what Old Lady Jiang bought?"
Yue Haoyun smiled and said, "What I bought is a chronic poison."
When the Second Prince and Xia Miaoyuan heard this, they both showed an expression of understanding.
"It seems that the poison was administered by Jiang." The second prince said in surprise.
[Oh my god! Old Mrs. Jiang is amazing! She's so cruel to her ex-lover! Tsk tsk tsk! She's truly one of the villains in the book!]
…
At the same time, on the other side, at the Han Mansion.
When Mrs. Han saw that her husband had gone out safely yesterday, but was sent back today and looked like he was dying, she broke down and cried instantly.
"Why am I so miserable! My son's body is still warm, and now my husband is leaving me!"
