"Phew, the situation is finally stabilized!"
"Yeah, at least he's not coughing or spitting blood, so we have time to study further."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but Xiao Lingling still looked solemn.
"Brother, everything I need is on this piece of paper. I have most of the herbs, but there are a few that I don't have on hand.
This acupuncture method can last for twelve hours. Send it to me immediately after it is collected.
I'm also lucky. I found a 500-year-old ginseng root a while ago. With its blessing, the chances of curing my father can be increased by 20%. "
Hearing her words, Su Jingsheng was obviously happier.
A 60% chance of success is already very high, and my junior sister has also learned all of the master's acupuncture techniques, so it shouldn't be too difficult to cure my father.
As for the medicinal herbs written on the paper, although they are precious, they are not too difficult to find.
He had several of them, but he didn't have two of them, but he could look for them among the civil and military officials.
They are all top-quality and precious medicinal materials, and generally these wealthy families have their stocks in hand.
Su Jingsheng immediately made arrangements, "Junior Sister, you stay here for a while, I'll take care of the medicinal materials, I already have some of them.
My two royal brothers, you must act separately immediately, one to post the imperial edict, and the other to attend the morning court to inform all civil and military officials.
I don't have any of the herbs I've circled. Find someone to collect them immediately. No matter who it is, I'll pay a high price for them!"
Su Jingxian and Su Jingshuo knew the seriousness of the matter and nodded immediately, "Okay, we'll make arrangements right away!"
Su Jingsheng looked around at the imperial doctors in the room and said, "Alright, all of you can leave now. Let's continue looking through medical books and looking for other methods.
Maybe there is a better way. Manager Wang, please send them some food and drinks, don't neglect them.
I will send a letter to your family, so you don’t have to worry about them getting worried.”
When the imperial doctors heard this, they all shuddered, but there was nothing they could do except respond.
Everyone started to move at once. The situation was urgent and they were almost jogging.
Only after everyone in the room had left did Xiao Lingling breathe a sigh of relief and patted Su Daocheng on the shoulder.
Su Daocheng finally woke up slowly, suppressing the urge to cough, his voice very weak.
"Everything went well?"
Xiao Lingling nodded, "It went well! The news will spread quickly. In order to prevent me from really trying to save you, they should take action today.
However, we have only put out the bait now, and we have to push them further.”
After all, if those people wanted to do something, they could steal the medicinal herbs, or take them away in advance and wait for news of Su Daocheng's death.
Therefore, in order to cut off their retreat, Xiao Lingling had to judge the time and spread the news that the medicinal materials were gathered on time.
After a whole day of hard work, when they are about to succeed but fail at the last moment, they are most likely to be impulsive.
Only when you act on impulse will you be more disorganized and full of loopholes!
Su Daocheng wanted to capture Jiang Yang, but what he hoped more was to root out all the secret agents in the capital.
Therefore, drastic measures must be taken.
You have to lure them deeper little by little.
In order to make the play more realistic, I really worked hard.
Xiao Lingdang quietly had the herbs sent out, and waited until evening to have them delivered to the palace.
Everything was carefully planned, and the issue of raising medicine caused an uproar in the court.
Some people offered it directly without mercy, while others began to rack their brains to try to get something from it.
Including posting the imperial edict, it also made the usually bustling capital even more lively.
Everyone was talking about it, wondering what the emperor's condition was like.
Some people have even started speculating about who the next emperor will be. Everyone has their own guesses, and each one has their own valid reasons.
However, no matter whether they guessed Su Jingsheng, Su Jingxian or Su Jingshuo, no one guessed Su Jingchen and Su Jingyao who had been abandoned.
This made some people in secret unhappy, and they began to spread some rumors about the three princes.
Things like Su Jingsheng is weak, Su Jingxian is homosexual, Su Jingshuo is violent, etc. However, no one is stupid. Some people believe it, but most people don't.
As time passed, Su Jingsheng and the other two began to get anxious.
It was already evening, and they had only gathered more than half of the herbs, with three remaining herbs with no news.
Several people gathered in the imperial study, "What should we do? There are still three kinds of medicinal herbs left with no news!"
Su Jingshuo's face was a little gloomy, "I have noticed some of these herbs before. After all, I was seriously injured before, and I also looked for some herbs that can speed up recovery.
I have an impression of these types. Logically, those wealthy families should have them. During the morning court session, they said they would go home and look for one and send it to me.
Then there was no news. I went to visit them in the afternoon and they told me that they had used it before.
This is not normal no matter how you look at it! Especially since several families are in the same situation."
Everyone knows that there must be something fishy going on, but it's impossible to actually rush in and raid someone's house.
If this were to happen, the capital would be destabilized.
Everyone was frowning with worried faces. Little Bell thought it was about time, so she spoke.
"Okay, don't worry, I've found the herbs and am sending them here. I estimate they should have reached the capital by now."
All three of them were shocked.
"Really? That's great! Father can finally be saved! Where are the herbs? We'll personally arrange for someone to escort them!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Bring more escorts!"
Little Bell smiled mysteriously and did not answer.
At this moment, a horse-drawn carriage was running quickly on the main street of the capital. It was very fast, and there were people riding horses in front to clear the way. The noise was so loud that it attracted the attention of many people.
"Everyone, make way! Everyone, make way! We have urgent matters to attend to in the palace. Please make way!"
The people in front kept shouting loudly, so even though they were moving fast, they had a smooth journey without encountering any obstacles.
Their movements attracted a lot of discussion and attention, and Jiang Yang naturally received the news quickly.
Especially when I heard that the carriage stopped in front of the palace, someone carefully carried a wooden box into the palace.
It was Wang Chao who came to pick up the wooden box. He even brought more than 20 guards with him. No one had to guess what was inside.
Jiang Yang angrily smashed the quilt and scattered all the medicinal herbs he had bought at a high price to the ground.
"Come here! Come here! Immediately organize all the troops and surround the entire palace. Also, you count our people and gather them at the entrance of the secret passage. Today, either that dog emperor dies or I live!
Also, bring Su Jingyao with you! He's such a good scapegoat, it would be a shame not to use him!"
