Chapter 151 Pushing the King of Qi to Despair
Looking at the dagger handed to him, the King of Qi was stunned.
Before he came, he only knew that Concubine Gao was poisoned by a serious poison, but he didn't know that Concubine Gao was poisoned by Yunmengjian.
Seeing that he was still hesitating, Emperor Showa said coldly.
"Why, Jing Che doesn't want to save your mother?"
The King of Qi immediately knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to, it's really because of me..."
"Why?" Emperor Showa looked displeased.
"That's your mother. You're her only child. Do you really want to watch her die?"
"No." King Qi said
"In a few days, I will have to go to the frontier to fight. If I continue to drain my blood every day, my body will surely be damaged. How can I go to the frontier and fight the enemy?"
"Your Majesty, what the King of Qi said makes sense." Duke Gao echoed.
Emperor Showa's expression was cold as he glanced at Duke Gao.
He said coldly: "Duke Gao, this Concubine Gao is your biological sister. It's fine that you're unwilling to sacrifice your life to save her, but now you're unwilling to let Jing Che save her. You really make me feel chilled!"
"Could it be that you two are just going to watch Concubine Gao die? You are truly heartless!"
Emperor Showa's cold gaze fell on Prince Qi again.
"I still had a glimmer of hope in you, but you are so cold-blooded and heartless that you didn't even save your own mother!"
The King of Qi kowtowed and said, "Father, it's not that I'm unwilling to save Mother."
"The Second Prince of Qin gave Father a fire lotus today. That fire lotus may be able to save Mother."
"Father, you can't do that." At this moment, Huo Xingzhi hurried in with Su Yuheng.
He walked before Emperor Zhaohe, bowed, and said, "Father, this fire lotus is a betrothal gift from the Second Prince of Qin to Dayan. Naturally, it cannot be misappropriated."
The King of Qi glared at Huo Xingzhi fiercely.
"Royal brother, what do you mean? Could it be that my mother's life is not as important as that fire lotus?"
Huo Xingzhi said: "That's not what I meant."
"Since Jing Che said that you can't save the Imperial Concubine by shedding your heart's blood, Duke Gao should be able to do it, right?"
Duke Gao's expression changed.
That Noble Concubine Gao was not his biological sister at all.
She was just a maid that Yan Ning brought back from the State of Qin, and was later sent to the palace specifically to be a pawn for the Gao family. The Gao family and Concubine Gao knew about this.
Duke Gao looked embarrassed and deliberately avoided the subject.
"Your Majesty, at this point, we must first find the person who poisoned us."
"Last time, Miss Shen Wan from the Shen family was inexplicably poisoned at the banquet, and this time it was Concubine Gao. Who will it be next time?"
"I think the person who poisoned me has ulterior motives."
"In my opinion, the poison must still be in the palace. I beg Your Majesty to order a search of the harem to locate the poison."
Emperor Showa was silent for a moment, then said, "Duke Gao is right."
"Wang Dequan."
Eunuch Wang walked forward and nodded slightly.
"His Majesty!"
Emperor Showa said, "Take your men to search the harem. I want to see who dares to poison someone in this harem."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Seeing Eunuch Wang leaving, the Queen's expression changed.
She was about to leave the bedroom, but she found that Emperor Showa's eyes were always on her.
She had no choice but to stay in Chengxiang Palace.
The queen walked forward and turned her head to look at Su Yuheng who was standing beside Huo Xingzhi.
The corners of his lips curled up slightly: "Your Majesty, at this point we must find a way to save Concubine Gao."
"I heard that Miss Shen Wan from the Shen family was also trapped in the Yunmeng Room last time and was saved by Princess Li."
"I don't know what method Princess Li used."
"I heard that Princess Li is a disciple of the Divine Doctor Fengwu. Princess Li, do you know if there is any other way to cure Yun Mengjian's poisoning besides using the heart blood of a loved one?"
Su Yuheng stepped forward, looked at the Queen, and then looked at the King of Qi who was kneeling on the ground.
She said, "Your Majesty, I didn't use any other method. I used Madam Shen's blood."
"To cure a poison like Yunmengjian's, the only way is to use the heart blood of a loved one. There is no other way."
"As for what His Highness Prince Qi just said, about using the Fire Lotus sent by the Second Prince of Qin to save the Imperial Concubine, that is not feasible."
"Although the Fire Lotus has the power to bring the dead back to life, it has no effect on Yunmengjian."
"Your Highness, the Prince of Qi, is known for his benevolence and filial piety. Why would he be so unwilling to sacrifice his life to save the Imperial Concubine? This servant is truly curious."
The King of Qi knelt on the ground, his eyes gloomy and his fists clenched tightly.
Are you going to push him into a desperate situation today?
"It's not that I don't want to drain my mother's blood to cure her illness, but the battle at the border is urgent. If I drain my blood, I won't be able to lead the army to the border."
Su Yuheng curled his lips.
It really is a good excuse.
She looked at Emperor Showa who was lying on the edge of the bed and said, "Your Majesty, since Your Highness is worried that removing blood from your heart will affect your health, I have a suggestion."
Emperor Showa frowned and said, "Princess Li, just tell me what you want to propose."
Su Yuheng said, "Since both Duke Gao and His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi are afraid of having their blood drawn out for ten days, why not do this: His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi will be there for five days, and Duke Gao will be there for five days."
"Your Highness, the Prince of Qi, has been draining blood from his heart for five days. If you use the medicine prescribed by the Imperial Hospital, you will surely recover before you leave for the frontier. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
"Sister-in-law, what do you mean?" The King of Qi on the ground was furious and glared at her viciously.
Su Yuheng said expressionlessly, "What's wrong with His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi? Could it be that you don't want to save Concubine Gao?"
"This noble one is your biological mother, yet His Highness is unwilling to save her. Could it be true as the rumors say..."
Before Su Yuheng could continue speaking, Emperor Showa's brows became increasingly furrowed.
"Which one is it according to the rumors?" asked Emperor Showa.
Su Yuheng quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I only heard it from hearsay."
"Now that Your Highness is unwilling to draw blood to detoxify the Imperial Concubine, I am simply curious to know if the rumors are true."
"What did you hear? Tell me." Emperor Showa frowned and looked at Su Yuheng coldly.
Su Yuheng knew that he couldn't be the first to do so at this time, otherwise, questioning the identity of the King of Qi in front of so many people would make His Majesty lose face and he would definitely be angry.
It would be better to throw out some clues and let Emperor Showa investigate it himself.
Of course, Liu Jinshu was given the responsibility to do such things.
She said, "These are just rumors, nothing serious. The Imperial Concubine is in imminent danger. Your Majesty, please allow His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi and Duke Gao to donate blood."
Emperor Showa looked at Su Yuheng gravely, feeling a little doubtful about what she said.
He said coldly to the King of Qi: "Regarding the matter of rescuing the imperial concubine, we will do as Princess Li ordered."
"Noble Concubine Gao's life is in danger, saving her is the most important thing."
"Come here, give me a dagger and a glass cup."
As soon as Emperor Zhaohe finished speaking, two palace maids came in from Chengxiang Hall and handed the glass cup to Prince Qi.
Doctor Zhang from the Imperial Hospital walked up to the King of Qi and said, "If your Highness is afraid of pain, I can give you Ma Fei San."
"It takes some skill to extract the blood from the heart."
"Please come in, Your Highness the Prince of Qi."
