Everyone was stunned when Yun Hao said this.
No one could figure out what he was doing.
A smug look flashed in Consort Xian's eyes. This elixir of immortality could not kill either humans or animals just by taking it.
In her view, Yun Hao did this only as a strategic retreat to gain sympathy and escape the emperor's punishment.
Emperor Kangwen was also puzzled by Yun Hao's intentions. "What does this mean?"
"Father, the poison of this elixir will not take effect for three days after it is used on the puppy. Please have someone keep a close watch on the dog. I am willing to stay in the imperial prison for these three days."
If the puppy dies of poisoning in three days, it will prove the elixir is poisonous. If the puppy is still alive in three days, I beg Your Majesty to sentence me to be cut in half at the waist.
Emperor Kangwen was stunned; he hadn't expected Yun Hao to be willing to gamble with his own life.
He recalled what Yun Hao had said earlier and felt a pang of pity.
No matter what, Yun Hao is still his son. Yun Hao's original intention was just to persuade him to stop taking the pills he thought were poisonous, which was for his own good.
Apart from the noise made by the little dog struggling to break free, no one else dared to make a sound in the imperial study, waiting for Emperor Kangwen's final decision.
Emperor Kangwen glanced at the struggling puppy, then at Yun Hao, and spoke in a deep voice.
"Second Prince Yun Hao is confined to his residence for three days and is not allowed to leave. Daoist Tianyi is imprisoned and a decision will be made after three days. I am tired; all of you may leave."
Since Emperor Kangwen had given the order, everyone withdrew.
No sooner had Consort Xian returned to Zichen Palace than Yun Shao arrived.
"Mother, how did things go?"
He entered the palace after receiving the message sent by his mother.
"Yun Hao fed the medicine to a dog and said there would be results in three days. Now he is under house arrest, and Tianyi has been imprisoned."
The difference between "Da Lao" (大牢) and "Tian Lao" (天牢) is only one character, but they are completely different concepts.
Consort Xian knew that Emperor Kangwen did not truly trust Yun Hao and still wanted to keep Tianyi around to refine medicine for him, which was why she acted this way.
Others may not know the potency of this medicine, but she knows it perfectly well.
The whole "Yun Shao drug trial" thing was a complete fabrication. Yun Shao was just taking ordinary pills that looked like elixirs of immortality under the guise of drug trials.
"Mother, what if Tianyi betrays us?" Yun Shao asked worriedly.
"No, if he tells the truth, he won't live either. But I underestimated this Second Prince; he actually managed to find Tianyi."
"How about we give Tianyi..." Yun Shao made a throat-slitting gesture.
"No, if something really happens to Tianyi now, it will only arouse your father's suspicion." Consort Xian stopped her. "Your uncle's men have already infiltrated Yuncheng in batches. They are just waiting for us to give the signal to storm the palace. Don't rush. Let's wait three more days and observe the situation."
Inside Weiyang Palace.
After listening to what Granny Kong said, Empress Sun fell into deep thought.
This Yun Hao actually asked Emperor Kangwen to imprison him in the imperial prison. What exactly is he planning to do?
Empress Sun suddenly felt that she couldn't quite understand this second prince anymore.
Things started to go a little off track with her plan.
Empress Sun's original plan was for Yun Hao to bring up the matter, which would enrage the Emperor and inevitably lead to the torture of Tian Yi. Only then would Tian Yi reveal the truth, making everything seem real.
But now that Yun Hao has done this, Tian Yi has temporarily lost the opportunity to reveal the truth.
What exactly is Yun Hao trying to do?
"To jail."
When Empress Sun arrived at the prison, Tianyi bowed respectfully and said, "Tianyi greets Your Majesty."
"Master, will this dog really die three days after taking the elixir?"
Tianyi shook his head and told the truth, "Your Majesty, this humble Taoist does not know."
"You concocted this medicine, and you didn't even know?"
