Emperor Yuan pinched the fifteenth prince's chin and was about to force the poison water down his throat, without a trace of pity in his eyes.
A concubine of a foreign race should not have given birth to a prince, so he should not have felt any sympathy for her.
"No, stop it! I'll give it to you. I'll give you the antidote."
Emperor Yuan stopped his men's actions but did not release his hand that was pinching the fifteenth prince's chin.
Concubine Lan knew that he would definitely kill her child if he couldn't get the antidote, so she could only say, "There is no antidote for the Charming Bone Incense, but my blood can cure all poisons. As long as the Queen drinks my blood, everything will be fine."
"Oh! Your blood can cure all poisons? Do you think I will believe such a ridiculous statement?"
"I didn't lie to you. Everything I said was true! If you don't believe me, you can give me the poison water to drink!"
Emperor Yuan looked at her meaningfully, then poured the poison water in his hand into the fifteenth prince's mouth.
Instead of feeding it to Yilandu, it is better to feed it to her child, so as to be more certain whether her blood can really detoxify.
"No!" Yilanduo cried out in pain.
After the fifteenth prince drank the water with the charm bone fragrance added, his face turned purple instantly, and then he vomited blood. The poison spread very quickly.
"Let me go. If you don't save him, he's going to die!"
Emperor Yuan signaled An Yi to let her go.
After Concubine Lan escaped, she immediately rushed towards the Fifteenth Prince, pulled out the hairpin on her head, and without hesitation cut a cut on her wrist, feeding her blood to the Fifteenth Prince.
The fifteenth prince's complexion visibly turned back to normal color, but he still looked very weak.
Concubine Lan sneered, "Are you satisfied now? Emperor Daxia, you are so terrible. He is your own son, he is only nine years old, how could you bear it!"
"You ask me how I could bear it? Have you ever thought that he suffered all this because of you?"
Concubine Lan paused when she heard this.
"If you had been content to be his concubine, he would have lived a life of wealth and honor. I just can't understand, what in the Red Water Tribe is worth your sacrifice?"
Concubine Lan lowered her eyes and said, "That is my home, my people, and it is my unshirkable responsibility as a princess."
"Even though you know you can't change anything?"
Concubine Lan was silent.
After a while, Emperor Yuan said calmly: "Take blood."
An Yi immediately found a jade bowl, grabbed Concubine Lan's hand and cut it with a knife.
Bright red blood dripped into the bowl, and only when it was full did An Yi let go of her hand.
Emperor Yuan: "Since your blood is still useful, I will not kill you. But you'd better not seek death for me, otherwise I will let the fifteenth prince be buried with you."
After saying this, Emperor Yuan picked up the fifteenth prince and walked out of Yilan Palace.
Concubine Lan curled the corners of her mouth. She had been controlled by others all her life, and now she couldn't even decide her own death.
How sad...
She was wrong, wrong from the beginning.
From the moment she married Emperor Yuan, she should have cut off all ties with Chishui.

Over at Ning'an Palace, the Queen stopped coughing after drinking Concubine Lan's blood, and her complexion also looked much better.
The next day, when the director of the Imperial Hospital came to take her pulse, he found that her pulse was much stronger. Before, it was several centimeters weaker than that of a normal person.
The director of the Imperial Hospital suspected that Concubine Lan's blood had played a role in improving the condition.
As expected, the director of the Imperial Hospital found hundreds of medicinal ingredients in Concubine Lan's blood.
He guessed that Concubine Lan was raised as a medicine man.

Inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Since the day Prince Rong's body was sent back to the capital, Emperor Yuan has been suspended from court until today.
Last night, after Emperor Yuan fed Concubine Lan's blood to the Empress, he sent eunuchs to notify all civil and military officials to attend court as usual.
At this time, all civil and military officials gathered in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, including Jiang Yueyang.
Relying on her position at the back, she looked at Lu Yunting behind General Zhenguo unscrupulously.
[Tsk tsk! Little melon, what on earth did Lu Yunting eat to grow up? How could he be so handsome? He is even more handsome than the Crown Prince from every angle.]
Emperor Yuan has become immune to Jiang Yueyang's excessive focus on appearance, but the civil and military officials are still somewhat uncomfortable with it.
The prince felt uncomfortable when he heard Jiang Yueyang say that he was not as good-looking as Lu Yunting.
How is he not as good as Lu Yunting...well...they are not of the same type and cannot be compared.
The corners of Lu Yunting's mouth rose slightly.
System: [Host, I think his appearance is inherited. General Lu and Madam Lu are both very good-looking people.]
How good is it?
[It is more beautiful than the host could have imagined. 】
Emperor Yuan felt that they could not continue chatting like this and secretly gave Li Fuquan a look.
Li Fuquan immediately came out and read the imperial edict after understanding it: "Marquis Jing'an colluded with foreign enemies and joined hands with Yilanduo to poison the queen. His crime should be punished and executed immediately! All male members of Marquis Jing'an's mansion shall be executed and the female members shall be exiled to the desert."
Xie Xu led his troops to capture Marquis Jing'an last night, which caused quite a stir. Some of them even went over to watch the excitement for a while.
Emperor Yuan looked at the generals and said, "I intend to send troops to Chishui. Is there any minister willing to lead the troops?"
Hearing this, the generals present did not speak rashly, but waited and watched for the time being.
According to Jiang Yueyang's observation, the eyes of all civil and military officials were on Lu Yunting intentionally or unintentionally.
[Little melon, am I seeing right? They seem to want Lu Yunting to lead the troops to attack Chishui? He just came back from the battlefield, you can't order him around like that!]
The person who originally wanted to recommend Lu Yunting to lead the troops to war silently gave up the idea after hearing Jiang Yueyang's dissatisfaction.
The system agreed: [That’s right, even if it’s a cow, it should be given a break.]
Lu Yunting: Thank you.
Emperor Yuan glanced at Lu Yunting. Last time, Jiang Yueyang and that little kid revealed that he had no intention of rebelling.
Honestly, he was relieved.
If the imperial court really fought with Lu's army, it would be hard to say who would win or lose.
So he asked, "Why? None of you dear ministers want to lead the troops to the battle? Do you want me to lead the army in person?"
The generals suddenly felt terrified.
General Zhenguo's eldest son, General Zhang Xiao, stepped out and bowed, saying, "I am willing to lead the troops to the battle."
"I am willing to lead the troops to the battle."
"I am willing to lead the troops to the battle."
At one time, several generals came forward to express their willingness to lead the troops into battle.
Emperor Yuan sneered in his heart. Although these people are just rough military generals, they are actually very scheming!
Just now they should have wanted to recommend Lu Yunting to go into battle, or they wanted to test their attitude towards Lu Yunting.
Otherwise, how could he let go of the military merit that was so easily within his grasp!
Emperor Yuan glanced at the several generals who came out of the line, and finally his eyes locked on a general.
"General Cao, I am waiting for your triumphant return in the palace."
System: [No, no, we can't send him! ]
[Why? Is he going to rebel too? ]
