Ling Xiang's words were powerful, and her tough measures made people no longer dare to underestimate her.
Concubine Shu spat out another mouthful of blood, and her face turned visibly pale.
Xuanyuan Qi knelt heavily on the ground and pleaded:
"Father! Mother can't hold on any longer! Hurry and ask Fairy Linglong to save her! I guarantee with my life that Fairy Linglong's medical skills will never be wrong!"
With the two people's double guarantee, the emperor made up his mind: "Duanmu Linglong, if Shufei gets into trouble because of you, even if you are the heir of the Medical Immortal Valley, I will never let you off easily!"
Ling Xiang is anxious to save people, but she won't beg to save them:
"Your Majesty, it has always been the people begging the Medical Immortal Valley to save people, but no one from the Medical Immortal Valley has ever been threatened to save people! Linglong came thousands of miles to save people because of His Royal Highness the Prince of Huai's filial piety. If I had known that the patient's family would have this attitude, I would never have come to the capital!"
The Medical Valley has always been arrogant. When the emperor saw Ling Xiang's tough attitude, he realized that he had just humiliated the Medical Valley. However, as an emperor, he would never make a mistake, let alone admit his mistake. He felt a little embarrassed for a while.
Xuanyuan Qi immediately walked over to Ling Xiang, took her hand and pleaded, "Father is worried about Mother's condition. Fairy Linglong, we have no intention of threatening you, nor do we look down on the Medical Immortal Valley. We beg you to help! I, Xuanyuan Qi, will be eternally grateful! As long as you can save my Mother, I, Xuanyuan Qi, will do my utmost to serve you!"
Xuanyuan Qi gave both sides a way out.
Ling Xiang naturally went down the stairs: "In view of His Royal Highness the Prince of Huai's filial piety, I can do my best to save her, but no one is allowed to disturb me while I am treating Concubine Shu!"
"No problem!" Xuanyuan Qi agreed without waiting for the emperor to speak.
Ling Xiang and Xuanyuan Qi, one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop, managed to trick the emperor. The emperor was really worried that Concubine Shu would not be able to hold on, so he didn't dare to provoke Ling Xiang again and gave up his position, "Please ask Miss Duanmu to do her best to rescue me."
Ling Xiang examined Concubine Shu: "Your Majesty has been poisoned again. This poison must have been administered just before taking the antidote I prepared."
From the time Ling Xiang first diagnosed her until she got the antidote, only the imperial physician and He Xun had come into contact with Concubine Shu.
The emperor immediately looked at the imperial physician: "What's going on?"
The imperial doctors standing by were so frightened that they dropped to their knees: "We are ignorant! We have absolutely no intention of harming the Concubine Shu!"
"If it's not the imperial physician, then it must be He Xun!" Xuanyuan Qi pointed the finger at He Xun, "You are the only one who has the chance to poison Mother!"
"What kind of poison has Concubine Shu been poisoned by? Is there a cure?" The emperor obviously did not expect things to develop like this. The miracle doctor he had spent so much effort to invite actually poisoned Concubine Shu in the end!
While trying to save him, Ling Xiang said, "The person who poisoned him hasn't had a chance to leave yet. We'll know if he's the one who did it by searching him to see if he has any drugs on him."
Xuanyuan Qi personally pulled He Xun aside and searched him carefully, and actually found a lot of bottles on him.
Ling Xiang used gold needles to seal the acupuncture points, temporarily controlling the poison in Concubine Shu's body, started the instrument to detect the toxicity, and walked towards the pile of bottles and jars.
In front of everyone, she opened the bottles and examined them one by one, and finally handed an empty bottle to Xuanyuan Qi:
"It's this poison. There's still some medicinal properties left in the bottle. This poison is very strong and must have been in the bottle for a long time. If you pour clean water into the bottle and shake it, and someone takes it, they will experience the same symptoms as Concubine Shu. Although it won't be as severe as Concubine Shu's, it proves that the poison came from this bottle."
Xuanyuan Qi didn't say anything and ordered someone to bring clean water. He followed Ling Xiang's method and fed He Xun the water.
He Xun watched Xuanyuan Qi force medicine into him, but he was restrained by Ling Xiang's golden needles and could not move at all.
No one knew better than him that the bottle Ling Xiang found was the one he used to poison Concubine Shu.
This is a highly toxic substance, and the remaining poison in the bottle can indeed prove that it was he who poisoned it.
In order to seize the only chance to rescue Zhang Qian, he had no choice but to take the risk, poison Concubine Shu and put the blame on Duanmu Linglong.
But he never expected that Duanmu Linglong could easily diagnose the poison that even a group of imperial doctors could not diagnose.
The Immortal Medical Valley truly lived up to its reputation. His defeat at her hands was due to his carelessness and underestimation of the enemy...
After a while, He Xun vomited blood and fell into a coma, with the same symptoms as Concubine Shu.
Ling Xiang continued to examine He Xun's bottles and jars, and found the antidote inside, which he presented to the emperor:
"This is the antidote. I think He Xun intends to use it to detoxify Concubine Shu. He Xun's move not only aims to suppress the Immortal Medical Valley, but also to step on me to ascend to power, thereby becoming Concubine Shu's savior. His intentions are nothing short of sinister!"
The emperor was furious: "Come here, drag this quack doctor out and behead him!"
Ling Xiang intervened, "Your Majesty, please calm down. He Xun cannot be killed yet. Firstly, the Concubine Shu is still unconscious, and we are unsure if He Xun has any backup plans. Secondly, although there is irrefutable evidence that He Xun poisoned her, the Concubine Shu is my patient. This is a matter of great importance to the reputation of our Medical Valley, and I must convince everyone."
The emperor nodded, and he admired the heir of the Medical Immortal Valley in front of him very much: "Fairy Linglong is right. Come, tell the governor of Shuntian Prefecture!"
The emperor now trusted Ling Xiang very much and handed the antidote to her: "Fairy Linglong, I leave Concubine Shu to you."
Shufei's condition was critical. Ling Xiang had no time to check whether He Xun's antidote had been tampered with, so he secretly threw it into the space and took out the antidote prepared by the instrument for Shufei to take.
Shufei's complexion gradually improved. Ling Xiang sat by the bed, observing Shufei's changes at all times.
The emperor and Xuanyuan Qi stayed in the room the whole time, both very patient.
