After the imperial doctors finished their consultation, their faces turned pale and they knelt down to apologize. "The poison Miss Lin was infected with was too strong. We are incompetent!"
The emperor looked down at the trembling imperial physicians and said, "Since you are incompetent, what's the point of me keeping you?"
"Your Majesty, spare my life!" The imperial physician kowtowed and begged for mercy. Suddenly, he thought of something and said hurriedly,
"I've heard that Miss Lin is very good at detoxifying. If even she can't cure a poison, I'm afraid only the Medicine King can."
"That's right!" Another imperial physician immediately agreed.
"Your Majesty, please send someone to fetch the Medicine King now. We will do our utmost to suppress the poison that has infected Miss Lin, and we will hold out until the Medicine King arrives!"
The imperial physicians knew full well that the Medicine King was no match for them. Miss Lin was so poisoned that she could die at any moment, and wouldn't last much longer. But if the emperor agreed to their proposal, then whether the Medicine King arrived or not, whether Miss Lin was cured or not, it would no longer be their fault, and their lives would be saved.
This is diverting trouble away.
This was exactly what Lin Jinghan wanted: the emperor's treatment of her was truly baffling, leaving her feeling uneasy. She needed to find Sikong Zhan as soon as possible to feel at ease. As for the Lin Company, the emperor's assurances weren't necessarily reliable, so she had to find a way to keep it.
The Emperor knew that the Medicine King had lived in the Prince of Jingnan's Mansion for a period of time. Now was a special period, and he did not want Lin Jinghan to come into contact with acquaintances and affect his plans. This was also the reason why he had kept her locked up.
So, he was very hesitant.
"Hmm~" Lin Jinghan's face showed pain. She pressed her heart weakly and let out a faint moan.
The emperor closed his eyes, but couldn't bring himself to do it. He asked, "How long can she hold on?"
The imperial physician thought for a moment and assured, "We will do our utmost to ensure Miss Lin is safe for the rest of the day."
"Within one day, I will definitely invite the Medicine King. Miss Lin, you must hold on!"
The emperor still didn't want Lin Jinghan to die before his eyes. This was the queen he had chosen. On the day of her wedding, he had failed to stop her. This time, he must have her! Therefore, she must not die!
Lin Jinghan was still moaning, as if she didn't hear what the emperor said.
The emperor clenched his fist and glanced at the imperial physician, "If anything happens to her within one day, I will kill all nine generations of your clan!"
Everyone in the court knew the emperor's drastic measures, and the imperial doctors repeatedly gave assurances. The emperor glanced at Lin Jinghan again and left.
Looking at the emperor's back as he left, Lin Jinghan breathed a sigh of relief: The emperor is such a shrewd person, it is really not easy to deceive him.
The emperor returned to the palace and temporarily suspended all his actions. After arranging the palace properly, he sent someone to send Lin Jinghan to the palace, and then went to Yaowang Valley in person.
The capital city is far away from Yaowang Valley. It is absolutely impossible to rush over and invite the person back in one day. The emperor took out a strange whistle and blew it. No sound was heard, but a person appeared in the place.
There was no movement around the man, even though he was just standing there, it was as if he didn't exist.
"Take me to Medicine King Valley." the emperor ordered.
"Yes." The man bowed and disappeared with the emperor in an instant.
Yaowang Valley is located in the most mysterious valley in Donglin. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and adjacent to water on one side. All kinds of precious medicinal herbs grow in it. Because it is protected by a natural formation outside, outsiders cannot enter and people inside rarely come out. Yaowang Valley has become the most mysterious place in Donglin and even the entire Tianxuan Continent.
The people in the valley are very simple and honest because they have not had contact with the outside world for many years, which makes Yaowang Valley more like a paradise.
Doctor Ran and Ran Chenghong returned to Yaowang Valley after attending Lin Jinghan's wedding. After returning, Ran Chenghong gave his son instructions every day.
"Zizhen, look, your master has already reached the level of a high-level Grandmaster. I don't ask you to improve as fast as her, but you must not embarrass me with our ancestral poison refining technique."
Ran Zizhen was working hard on refining the medicine. Upon hearing this, he pouted and said, "Daddy, when have I ever embarrassed you? We agreed that when I refine a master-level poison pill, you'll let me go find my master!"
Ran Chenghong glanced at the alchemy cauldron, where the medicinal fragrance was thick and dense, gathering and lingering. His expression suddenly became extremely serious, and he said with shining eyes:
"If you can really make a master-level poison pill on time, your father will go with you!"
Ran Zizheng was aroused with infinite fighting spirit, and he concentrated on practicing the alchemy techniques, striving to make every move perfect.
Finally, it was the final moment of condensing the pill. Ran Zizhen was already immersed in the alchemy and had reached a state of nothingness and selflessness. However, Ran Chenghong, who was staring at the alchemy furnace, was quite nervous. Big beads of sweat were dripping down his forehead, but he didn't notice it at all.
But at this moment, someone knocked on the door of the alchemy room. Ran Chenghong was awakened and very annoyed. He was worried that the outsiders would affect Ran Zizhen's condensation of the pill. He walked to the door quietly, slowly opened the door, glared at the outsider, and whispered: "Don't make a noise, it's a big deal, let's talk about it later."
Just at this moment, a strong medicinal fragrance came out. Ran Chenghong immediately turned his head to look over, and just saw the moment the lid of the alchemy cauldron was opened, a round pill slowly flew out.
"It worked!" Ran Chenghong was even happier than if he had successfully made the elixir himself - after training his son for several months, he finally saw the results!
Ran Zizhen carefully put the pill into the medicine bottle, then rushed to Ran Chenghong with the bottle and said excitedly:
"Daddy, I did it! I did it!"
"Okay, okay!" Ran Chenghong was very pleased. He took the medicine bottle and nodded continuously while looking at the pill inside.
The person at the door was also very happy. Thinking of the purpose of his visit, he spoke cautiously: "Master, someone is looking for you. The person claims to be the Emperor of Donglin."
The people of Yaowang Valley have always lived in seclusion and have little concept of the emperor. Naturally, it is impossible for them to bow down to the emperor like the rest of the world.
Ran Chenghong was surprised and patted Ran Zizheng on the shoulder, asking him to organize his experience of successful alchemy and finally decided to meet the emperor.
Ouyang Ji needed help, so he didn't act like an emperor. He nodded slightly and said, "Senior Medicine King, Lin Jinghan has been poisoned and is in critical condition. Could you please go to the capital and save Miss Lin?"
"What?" Jinghan was poisoned? What kind of poison could she not even cure? Ran Chenghong looked serious and asked cautiously:
"Do you have a token?"
"Yes." The emperor had taken something close to his body from Lin Jinghan in advance, fearing that the Medicine King would not believe it. Now it came in handy.
Ran Chenghong confirmed that this was Lin Jinghan's thing and asked, "Where is Jinghan?"
It seems that Ran Chenghong and Lin Jinghan are indeed close, and Ouyang Ji is relieved. "In the palace, the imperial doctors are doing their best to stabilize her condition. Senior, please go and save her quickly."
Lin Jinghan, the Princess of Jingnan, was poisoned and is now living in the Imperial Palace instead of the Jingnan Palace? This is too abnormal, and Ran Chenghong has become more vigilant.
"I wonder if Prince Jingnan knows about this?"
