Chapter 4: Ancestral Medicine



Li Yuan, feeling sad inside, finally couldn't hold on any longer, spat out a mouthful of blood, and passed out.

"His Majesty!"

"Father!"

Seeing the emperor suddenly fall into coma, everyone suddenly became nervous.

At this moment, Zhao Ji felt the weak vitality rapidly draining away from Li Yuan's body.

He was suddenly startled and quickly transferred his true energy into Li Yuan's body to save his life!

He couldn't let the big tree he had finally leaned on fall down so easily.

The fifth prince Li Yi, who was standing by, also looked nervous when he saw his father like this.

He had not thought of killing his father when he was forced to abdicate today, he just felt dissatisfied.

In addition, I was instigated by others, so I started to have evil thoughts.

Now looking at his father whose life or death is unknown, he knows that he was really wrong this time.

Li Yi looked at his father and was about to step forward.

The leader of the men in black stood up and stood in front of Li Yi.

"The Fifth Prince does not need to worry about His Majesty's affairs. Come, hold the Fifth Prince down and take good care of him. Also, hurry up and call the imperial physician over!"

After saying that, he hurriedly walked up to Li Yuan.

"How is your majesty..."

A heavy and hoarse voice reached Zhao Ji's ears, and it was obvious that the voice was very anxious.

As secret guards trained by His Majesty, His Majesty's life and death are of vital importance to them.

If His Majesty dies, they won't be able to survive alone!

"Get out of the way, let me come..."

Looking at Zhao Ji who was providing His Majesty with vital energy to prolong his life, the commander was obviously worried.

Just when he was about to reach out and push Zhao Ji away, he was scared away by Zhao Ji's look.

"If you want His Majesty to die immediately, then do it!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the leader of the men in black froze in place, not daring to act rashly.

He didn't understand why she didn't dare to refute the words of a little eunuch.

"You'd better save His Majesty, otherwise I will kill you first!"

The leader of the men in black stood there sullenly, staring at Zhao Ji with his eyes beneath the black mask.

But Zhao Ji had no time to pay attention to her. Relying on the special nature of his Xiantian Kung, he exhausted all his energy and finally pulled Li Yuan back from the brink of death.

Just at this moment, the imperial physician also rushed over, and several people worked together to carry Li Yuan to the bed. Then the imperial physician examined him and couldn't help but frowned.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid..."

The old doctor hesitated and didn't dare to continue.

The leader of the men in black understood what the imperial physician meant and immediately became anxious.

He pulled out the blood-stained scimitar and placed it on the old doctor's neck.

"If you can't save your majesty, I will kill you!"

Looking at the flashing scimitar, the old doctor was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.

"Sir, your Majesty's condition is truly hopeless. Unless the Jiedushi's 10,000-year-old ginseng is delivered, it might help your Majesty prolong his life for a few years. Otherwise, even if Hua Tuo were alive..."

When Zhao Ji heard the word "ten thousand year old ginseng", he slapped his head and cursed himself in his heart.

I was so busy trying to extend the emperor's life just now that I forgot about the ginseng.

So Zhao Ji quickly took out the seven pills made of ten thousand year old ginseng from his arms.

"Your Majesty is saved!"

As he said that, he took the pitch-black pill and stuffed it into Li Yuan's mouth.

When the man in black saw that Zhao Ji was about to put something unknown into the emperor's mouth, he hurriedly shouted at him.

“What are you doing!”

As he said that, he snatched the black ginseng pill away.

When Zhao Ji saw that his life-saving medicine had been taken away, he became so angry that he jumped to his feet.

"This is a life-extending elixir that can save your majesty. Give it to me now!"

The man in black already had a grudge against Zhao Ji, and now seeing the black pill of unknown origin, how could he trust him?

"You said it was a life-saving medicine, but didn't you hear the imperial physician say that only 10,000-year-old ginseng can save His Majesty? You just randomly gave His Majesty a black pill to eat. What if His Majesty's condition gets worse? What should we do?"

Zhao Ji looked at this girl who always ruined his plans and wanted to beat her out.

However, he had already felt that this person's strength was a little bit above his own, so Zhao Ji could only curse her in his heart.

"This pill is a treasure heirloom in my family, made from ten-thousand-year-old ginseng. Isn't there an imperial physician next to you? Just let him take a look and you'll know."

Zhao Ji pointed at the old doctor helplessly.

He felt that as an old doctor, he must have rich knowledge and solid theoretical knowledge, and would be able to see the true ingredients of the pills, thus dispelling his doubts.

As a result, the old doctor took the black pill tremblingly and looked at it repeatedly.

He actually insisted that this pill was not made of thousand-year-old ginseng and could not save Your Majesty's life.

Zhao Ji was full of confidence, but he was dumbfounded when he heard the old doctor's words.

He looked at the old doctor in disbelief, "Say it again? If this pill isn't made of 10,000-year-old ginseng, then what is it?"

The old doctor didn't dare to look at Zhao Ji's eyes, and stammered, unable to say anything.

When Zhao Ji saw the old doctor's look, he went over and snatched the pill from his hand.

While snatching the pills, he came into contact with the old doctor and heard the voice in his heart.

[The pills do contain ginseng, but I have never seen a 10,000-year-old ginseng, so how would I know? ]

[I won't take the risk of something that is uncertain. If it wasn't the 10,000-year-old ginseng, and His Majesty died from it, I would definitely be executed as well.]

[Yes, as long as I firmly believe that it is not a ten-thousand-year-old ginseng, then even if the emperor dies, it cannot be blamed on me.]

Listening to Old Bidden's innermost thoughts, Zhao Ji greeted the old doctor's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart.

Seeing the most authoritative guy, he dared not take risks for the sake of his own life.

Zhao Ji looked at the leader of the men in black seriously and said, "Think carefully whether you want to try this pill or not. If you don't try it, Your Majesty will only have a few hours to live. If you try it, it may extend your life!"

When the black-clad commander heard this, his eyes were filled with struggle.

Although she was the commander, she usually acted on the emperor's orders.

Now when asked to give orders, she became hesitant.

The old doctor standing by became a little panicked when he saw the black-clad leader struggling.

He was afraid that Zhao Ji would feed the emperor to death, and was about to speak out to stop him.

As a result, Zhao Ji didn't tolerate him and went straight to the old doctor's side.

A slap hit him in the face.

"You old Biden, I'm giving you face, right?"

Zhao Ji used the inner energy that he had just recovered and slapped the old doctor away.

He quickly walked to the emperor's bed again, took out the pill and fed it directly into the emperor's mouth.

"Since you can't make up your mind, then I'll do it! If anything goes wrong, I, Zhao Ji, will take responsibility!"

After feeding the pills, Zhao Ji looked at the leader of the men in black with a determined look.

Seeing that the outcome was inevitable, the man in black had no choice but to retract his scimitar and sighed.

"Hey, it would be best if His Majesty could wake up. Otherwise..."

After saying that, she stood aside.

The old doctor who was beaten was now covering his swollen cheek and glaring at Zhao Ji with resentment.

"You little eunuch, if you feed His Majesty a drug of unknown origin, you will die!"

After saying this, the old doctor left the hall in dejection.
