Xuan Yuan Yu's words caused Su Xue Ning and Pei Luo's expressions to change simultaneously.
Both of them knew where Xuanyuan Yu's words came from.
Su Xuening quickly composed herself and coldly snorted, "Long Jiaojiao told you? You're using this information to save your life now? Since Long Jiaojiao herself has this life-saving information, why doesn't she use it to beg the Emperor for mercy herself?"
In her past life, she didn't know whether the news was told to the Emperor by Long Jiaojiao or, like now, by Xuanyuan Yu.
Because in her past life she didn't know about Long Jiaojiao's existence, and Long Jiaojiao probably didn't know about her existence either. In her past life, there was no conflict between her and Long Jiaojiao, and Long Jiaojiao had no reason to deliberately harm her child.
The use of infant hearts in medicine was recorded in a medical book of the Xuanmen sect, which was always treasured by the master. In her previous life, there was no story of Xuanyuan Zhan capturing Long Jiaojiao in the bamboo forest to remove the curse from her. Long Jiaojiao should have seen that medical book. So how did she know about using infant hearts in medicine in her previous life?
Could it be that in his past life, it wasn't Long Jiaojiao who told Xuanyuan Yu about the baby being used in medicine, but that he killed his master and saw the medical book on his master's body, or that he went to the bamboo forest and found the medical book that his master had treasured?
Regardless of the truth of her past life, the reason why Long Jiaojiao did not use the news of using an infant as medicine to save her life in this life must be because, as the one who cast the Gu poison, she knew all too well that even using an infant's heart as medicine would not save Xuan Yuanpeng's life!
In his previous life, Xuanyuan Peng did live a little longer because of Xiao Bao's heart condition, but it was only for two months before he still died.
The medical books also say that even if an infant's heart is used as a medicinal ingredient, it is only for temporary relief and does not address the root cause. However, these people do not pay attention to these words at all, and only think about their own interests, disregarding innocent lives.
In his previous life, Xuan Yuan Yu killed her child to gain power. In this life, he wants to harm the child again to save his own life. He is worse than a beast!
Xuan Yuan Yu was speechless after Su Xue Ning asked him this question.
He certainly knew why Long Jiaojiao didn't use this information to save his life.
When Long Jiaojiao told him about this method she had read in a medical book, she did so as a joke. She was full of disdain and did not agree with the method in the medical book at all. She had great confidence in the Gu worms of their Southern Frontier and did not believe that this method would have any effect on the puppet Gu. She also disdained to use this method to save her life!
Perhaps that's why she so easily threw that medical book back at Xuan Yuanzhan!
He hadn't actually read the medical book, but this method had become his only chance to survive, so he was determined to use it to fight for a sliver of hope!
Ignoring Su Xuening, Xuanyuan Yu turned to Xuanyuan Peng and said, "Father, what I said is true. This infant's heart can really be used as a medicinal ingredient to neutralize the evil effects of the puppet gu and save your life!"
Su Xuening also turned to Xuan Yuanpeng: "Your Majesty, I have studied medicine with my master for many years. I have never heard of using an infant's heart as a medicinal ingredient. This is utter nonsense. It is a trick by Xuan Yuanyu to save his own life. Please do not believe Xuan Yuanyu!"
Xuanyuan Peng frowned and looked at the two of them for a while, then suddenly looked at Pei Luo, who was standing behind Su Xuening and the others: "Doctor Luo, what do you think of the method that Xuanyuan Yu mentioned?"
Su Xuening's heart clenched when she heard Xuan Yuanpeng suddenly ask about his master.
My master has always valued that medical classic; I wonder if he will tell the truth.
Sensing Su Xuening's stiffness, Xuan Yuanzhan also frowned.
Bai Shi's expression was also quite abnormal at this moment, but Xuan Yuanpeng was looking at Pei Luo and did not notice Bai Shi's unusual behavior.
Pei Luo remained calm and said indifferently, "I have never heard of such a method in my decades of medical practice."
Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Peng was immediately disappointed.
Su Xuening and Bai Shi both breathed a sigh of relief.
Xuanyuan Yu shouted urgently, "You're talking nonsense! Long Jiaojiao saw this method in your medical book! How dare you deceive the emperor in front of him!"
Pei Luo glanced at Xuan Yuan Yu speechlessly: "If you could believe what that woman Long Jiao Jiao said, you wouldn't have been infected with this puppet gu, would you?"
Pei Luo's words once again left Xuan Yuan Yu speechless. Unable to argue with Pei Luo, he could only turn to Xuan Yuan Peng and say, "Father, what I said is true. This person's medical book contains such a method. If Father does not believe me, let him take out his medical book and we will know."
Xuanyuan Peng didn't reply, but looked at Pei Luo again, his meaning all too clear.
Su Xuening hadn't expected Xuan Yuan Yu to be so difficult to deal with, and she frowned again.
Pei Luo, however, remained calm and said, "Our Hundred Flowers Valley's medical manual cannot be passed on to outsiders. However, if His Majesty insists on seeing our Hundred Flowers Valley's medical manual, I can show it to you for the sake of the girl."
Pei Luo generously pulled a thick medical book from his pocket: "To prevent thieves from stealing it, I always carry our Hundred Flowers Valley's medical book with me. Your Majesty, please take a look if you wish!"
Pei Luo generously presented the medical classic.
Seeing Pei Luo's generous demeanor, Xuan Yuanpeng did not let Zong Jiu take the medical book from his hands: "No need to look at it, I believe you!"
Since he was able to show him the medical text, it proved that he was not lying, or at least that the medical text he presented did not contain the method that Xuan Yuan Yu had mentioned.
Seeing that Xuanyuan Peng believed Pei Luo, Xuanyuan Yu became even more anxious: "Father, the baby's heart can really save your life! You must believe your son!"
"Shut up!" Xuanyuan Peng roared, unable to bear it any longer. "You are not my son at all! I feel disgusted to hear you call me 'Father Emperor'!"
After being yelled at by Xuan Yuanpeng, Xuan Yuanyu immediately fell silent.
Xuanyuan Peng glared angrily at Xuanyuan Peng: "Even if this infant's heart could save me, I would not use such an evil technique to save my own life!"
Su Xuening was stunned when Xuan Yuanpeng said such a thing.
In his past life, he clearly used Xiao Bao's heart, so how did he gain such profound insight in this life?
Bai Shi gently patted Xuan Yuanpeng's chest and said softly, "Don't get angry over him anymore. Haven't you been angry enough today? Even if it's only for two or three days, you can be at peace with yourself. But if you really use this child's heart, even if it allows you to live a little longer, you'll spend every day in guilt. What's the point? If this news gets out, how will the officials and ministers view you?"
Listening to Bai Shi's words, Su Xuening finally understood how Xuan Yuanpeng could have such profound insights.
Therefore, the women around a man are very important. In the previous life, when Xuan Yuan Yu Xian was around Xuan Yuan Peng, it was Su Hui Yan and Su Fei Ling who were by his side, which is why her little baby died!
