A trace of cold hatred appeared on Wei Shaohui's face, "The prince has been poisoned by a chronic poison."
The emperor was furious. "It's impossible. The entire Imperial Hospital couldn't have failed to detect it. They check Ping'an's pulse every day..."
When the king is angry, corpses are scattered all over the place, but Wei Shaohui has nothing to lose. He has long since put life and death aside. "My father found out, so he was killed to silence me. I was chased for thousands of miles and almost buried in the wilderness."
His father left him a way out just in case, but unfortunately, his existence was still discovered.
The emperor's face was as dark as ink. "How did you know?"
Wei Shaohui risked everything just to avenge his family. "I once received a letter from home. It seemed harmless, but it actually contained a secret message, saying that the Yixin incense that the prince used daily was fine when used alone, but it was extremely poisonous when combined with ambergris."
In the letter, she specifically told him not to go home but to stay in the mountains peacefully.
But how can he feel at ease...
The emperor was struck by lightning, and his body swayed. Ambergris was for him only. Yixin Incense was developed by the Imperial Hospital with the efforts of the entire hospital for the prince's health.
If the news is true, it means that he has also become a gun in the hands of others, and may even be one of the targets.
Is he poisoned?
"Can you guarantee that every word you said is true?"
Wei Shaohui kowtowed heavily and said, "I guarantee it with my life."
The emperor's eyes flickered, and he finally made a decision, "Surround the Imperial Hospital, conduct a strict and thorough investigation. I don't care what means you use, you must get to the bottom of this. If anyone dares to stop you from handling the case, kill him, even if it's a concubine in the harem."
"Yes." The secret guard responded and walked out.
Thus, a bloody storm slowly began.
The emperor frowned and paced around the room, becoming more and more irritable. "Go, ask the prince to come over."
The prince rushed over as soon as possible. After hearing everything, his face changed several times and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
But, in the end, he did not ask any more questions. The person who could do something to him and his father must be the one closest to them, and they were most defenseless.
"Father, what are you going to do?"
The emperor felt a pang of pain in his heart when he saw that he was still calm. This was his proudest son. He had never let him down.
He changed into casual clothes and asked the prince to change into low-key and inconspicuous clothes. "Let's go to the Duke of Chengguo's Mansion."
The Chengguo Mansion is usually just a decoration, as the owner is always at the border.
This year is particularly lively because the young master has come back to live with us for a while.
Du Shaoxuan was a little dumbfounded when he saw the group of people who suddenly appeared, "Your Majesty, cousin, why did you leave the palace? Even if I return to Liangcheng, I will go to the palace to say goodbye."
He plans to leave in the next few days.
The emperor came uninvited and barged in without permission. He is the most powerful. "I'll lend you this place."
Du Shaoxuan saw that their faces looked strange and his heart sank. Something big must have happened.
He asked everyone to sit down and personally served hot tea and snacks. "Come and try my tangerine peel drink. I can eat an extra bowl of rice after drinking it."
This recipe was given by Mu Wanqing. It tastes sour and sweet, and he would drink a cup of it occasionally.
The prince took a sip of the hot drink, "It tastes lighter than the one in the palace. You don't usually like sweet and sour food, so you've adjusted to it."
Du Shaoxuan was raised in the palace until he was ten years old. He lived and ate with the prince, and they were like brothers. He didn't have many reservations when speaking. "Yes, I prefer pickled radish and cold dishes."
The prince felt a little warm in his heart. Many things and many people have changed over the years, but this cousin has not changed and is still sincere to him.
"I find the stomach-nourishing porridge very good, and the abdominal massage method is also good. I've been eating more recently."
I did eat a few more bites, but my sleep quality was still poor.
"That's great." Du Shaoxuan was very happy. "It's worth my shameless request. Eat more and exercise more, and you will get better."
He was the only one who dared to speak to the prince like this, full of concern.
The prince smiled and said, "Okay."
The emperor looked at the two cousins chatting casually with a warm look in his eyes.
As they were talking, doctors were invited into the mansion one by one to diagnose and treat the patients separately.
"Young Master is born with a weak constitution, so you need to slowly recover. I'll prescribe a prescription for you to drink for a while."
"Master has sufficient Qi and blood, and is healthier than most people."
More than twenty doctors said so, but the emperor and the prince's complexion did not improve.
Du Shaoxuan was watching anxiously from the side. Who had the problem with his body?
Finally, I found a chance and asked, "Your Majesty, what is going on?"
The emperor frowned. Was it a false alarm? Just a misunderstanding?
No, no, no, there is no wind without waves.
The attendant outside reported, "Your Majesty, the doctor is here."
He invited all the doctors, big and small, from the capital, and even this traveling doctor was not spared.
The traveling doctor came to the capital to see the world, but he didn't expect to be dragged here halfway.
He placed his fingers on the prince's wrist, his expression changed slightly, and he looked at the prince's face. After examining the left hand, he switched to the right hand.
After struggling for a long time, he finally spoke hesitantly, "This..."
The prince smiled and said calmly, "Please tell me the truth, doctor. I want to know the true condition of my illness."
The itinerant doctor sighed in his heart. It was obvious that these people were not easy to deal with. "Young Master, do you usually have a poor appetite and poor sleep? You can't sleep well all night and you often have a fever? And it gets worse over time?"
The smile on the prince's lips gradually faded, "Yes."
"Young Master may have been..." The itinerant doctor risked his life, "He was poisoned by the cold heart poison. The symptoms of this poison are the same as this, so it is difficult for ordinary people to detect it."
"But, the Chilling Heart Poison is very rare because the drug is ambergris."
It was like a bomb exploding in the room, and everyone's expression changed.
The emperor gasped, "It's hard for ordinary people to detect it, so what about the imperial physician?"
The itinerant doctor knew he had fallen into a huge pit, but what could he do? "I only knew about this strange poison after seeing a patient before. Imperial doctor... it's hard to say."
A difficult sentence to put into words, yet full of meaning.
The emperor was too busy to care about anything else and asked anxiously, "How did you cure that patient?"
The itinerant doctor lowered his head, not daring to look at their expressions, "...he has died from the poison."
"It has been found to be poison, why are you still..." The emperor's voice stopped abruptly. What else is there to not understand? There must be no antidote.
He felt a sharp pain in his heart, "Since you can find out the poison, you must be able to cure it. I command you to cure it."
His heart was completely confused. Although he had many children, the crown prince was brought to him at the age of three. He raised him personally, determined to train a perfect crown prince for the empire.
It can be said that he poured too much effort and hope into the prince.
If his father's love was ten points, then the prince would get seven points.
The prince has been smart since he was young, with a high level of comprehension. He learns things quickly, is brilliant and has both the skills and the mind, making him a crown prince that makes him quite satisfied.
The crown prince also inherited his political ideas.
To him, the crown prince is not only his son, but also the continuation of his political ideas and the bright future of the Great Qi Dynasty.
The prince's only weakness is that he is too weak, which makes him very worried.
But, tell him now that all this is man-made, not due to physical weakness, but poisoning.
He even wanted to kill someone.
The itinerant doctor fell to his knees with a thud, "I, Sun Gancao, greet your majesty."
The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, "Sun? Who is the hidden doctor Sun Shengyun to you?"
Decades ago, Sun Shengyun had a great reputation in Jiangnan, but he refused to accept the imperial edict and refused to enter the Imperial Medical Service.
After that, he lived in seclusion in a place and there was no news about him.
"It's our ancestor." Sun Gancao fell to the ground, regretting once again that he should not have come to the capital. He should have listened to his grandfather and become a street doctor, quietly accumulating experience.
The emperor looked at him steadily and ordered forcefully, "Go and invite your grandfather to the capital. This concerns the future of the Great Qi Dynasty, and he cannot refuse."
As long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will not give up.
"Your Majesty." Sun Gancao's mouth was bitter. It was not enough to sacrifice him alone, but also his family. The water in the capital was too deep, and it would be all over if you were not careful.
Du Shaoxuan looked at the powerful emperor and then at his pale cousin. What else didn't he understand?
"Your Majesty, I have volunteered to ask for the hidden doctor Sun Shengyun, and bring back all the famous doctors along the way."
The emperor didn't trust anyone at this time, but Du Shaoxuan was different. This child had grown up under his nose and he knew his character very well.
The most important thing is that the Du family and the prince share the same fate.
He patted Zao Shaoxuan on the shoulder and said, "Okay, Shaoxuan, you are the only one that your uncle can trust now."
Du Shaoxuan was anxious. "It's time to hurry up. Butler, have someone help me pack my luggage and bring some dry food. I'll leave overnight. Your Majesty, cousin, please wait for my good news."
The emperor likes young people like him who are sincere and loyal.
At this moment, the butler came in and said, "Master, the Prince of Jin wants to see you."
"No." Du Shaoxuan was very impatient. It was urgent, who would have the mood to socialize? "Say I'm busy. Next time you want to see me, I'll post in advance."
His emotions were all written on his face, and he did not hide them at all. The emperor could not help but sigh, "You still don't like him so much."
Logically speaking, these children grew up together and should have a good relationship, but their personalities are very different and they don't get along.
Du Shaoxuan has the best relationship with the Crown Prince, while the Prince of Jin gets along well with everyone and is very versatile and good at networking.
"I hate people who smile on their faces but stab you in the back the most."
The corner of the prince's mouth twitched. His cousin was good in every way except that he was too straightforward. However, his father liked people like him and could use them with confidence.
"Father, Shaoxuan is not complaining, he is just expressing his feelings."
The emperor was silent. He didn't know whether his cousin was complaining or not, but his cousin must be trying to please him.
"Don't I know his character? He has said whatever he thinks since he was a child, and he can't stand the slightest grievance. That year, the eldest brother broke a vase himself, but he said it was Shaoxuan who did it. Everyone else helped the eldest brother, but this guy picked up the vase and smashed the eldest brother's head without saying a word. How old was he that year?"
Du Shaoxuan smiled embarrassedly and said, "Your Majesty, how come you still remember this? I was only seven years old at that time, still a child who knew nothing."
At that time, he fought against several people alone until the prince came with people to help.
The fight was so violent that all the sons of nobles were involved, and even the crown prince joined the battle himself.
The Prince of Jin is neutral, not taking sides and not offending anyone, which is why Du Shaoxuan doesn't like him.
No matter which side you stand on, it is a stance.
No blood, no loyalty.
The butler came running in again, "Master, the Prince of Jin said he wants to see you for something very important."
Du Shaoxuan was just about to pack his luggage and leave, so he had no mood to meet an unpleasant guy.
The prince frowned slightly, "Since he wants to see me, then let him see me."
