Chapter 493 Win-win
As soon as Imperial Doctor Li and Imperial Doctor Tian heard the news, they rushed to the Seventh Prince's residence.
After they felt the Seventh Prince's pulse, they came to the same conclusion - the Seventh Prince was poisoned. The specific poison needed further investigation, but the most important thing at the moment was to control the toxin and prevent it from spreading.
"His Highness the Seventh Prince has been poisoned!"
Doctor Tian looked at the Seventh Prince with a complicated expression on his face. The Fourth Prince had previously ordered him to collect the Seventh Prince's blood, but now it seemed that this task might not be accomplished unless the poison was removed first.
Doctor Li seemed more relaxed.
Because of this, he wouldn't have to worry about how to complete the Fourth Prince's mission.
He planned to let the head of the Shen family enter the palace tomorrow, use the head of the Shen family's blood as a substitute, and take this opportunity to disclose the true identity of the eldest prince.
Although everyone looked calm, they had their own plans in mind. The news soon reached the palace.
Baili Ye, who had been hiding in the Imperial Hospital, sneered after hearing this and said to himself:
"Poisoned? Hahahaha... what a good idea! You can actually come up with such a plan to avoid having your blood drawn!"
His eyes turned cold: "Well, since you want to play, I will play with you to the end."
After saying that, he handed Doctor Tian a small bottle containing medicine.
"You should know what to do." Baili Ye said calmly.
Doctor Tian took the bottle and felt a sense of panic.
He realized that he was being asked to do something very dangerous - poison the Seventh Prince!
Baili Ye seemed to see through his worries and comforted him: "Don't worry, this matter will not implicate you. The death of the Seventh Prince will be attributed to poisoning, and it has nothing to do with you."
"Yes, I obey your command!" Doctor Tian agreed reluctantly.
……
When the emperor heard the news, he collapsed in his chair as if he had been struck by lightning.
"What did you say? Yan'er was also poisoned?" the emperor asked with a trembling voice.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I saw with my own eyes that the Seventh Prince vomited blood and then fainted. The imperial physician diagnosed that he was poisoned."
The eunuch reported in detail everything he had seen.
"Yan'er was also poisoned? Could this be similar to Yue'er's situation?"
The emperor whispered to himself, feeling unprecedented panic. It was obvious that someone was trying to harm the royal family and was plotting something bad!
"Quick, send someone to find Jiang You. This matter must be thoroughly investigated!" the emperor ordered, realizing that the situation was extremely critical and there could be no more hesitation.
But Yan'er and Yue'er were both poisoned. What should we do?
The original plan was to use Yan'er's blood to make the antidote, but whose blood could they use now? Did they really have to use the blood of a six-year-old child?
If there is any mistake, and we lose another prince...
The emperor didn't dare to think any further, his heart was filled with fear.
Now there is only the Fourteenth Prince left in the palace. If something unexpected happens to him, the succession to the throne will fall into chaos, and the consequences will be disastrous!
However, in this situation, no matter how anxious the emperor was, it was difficult for him to make a decision - whether to use the blood of the fourteenth prince.
On one side are his biological children, and on the other side is the only healthy prince. If anything happens to Yan'er, then the Fourteenth Prince will be the only one left in the palace.
The emperor was extremely worried and immediately summoned Doctor Li to discuss countermeasures: "Doctor Li, what should we do? You have to think of a solution!"
Doctor Li shook his head and said helplessly:
"Your Majesty, unless the antidote is made with the blood of someone who is related to the patient, the blood of other people may cause a rejection reaction and make the condition worse."
"Then...what should we do?" The emperor was speechless for a moment.
Doctor Li looked embarrassed and said, "Your Majesty, the Fourteenth Prince is still young. If we forcibly take his blood, it may have adverse effects on his health."
Hearing this, the emperor's heart sank. Although he was extremely reluctant, he could not risk the life of the Fourteenth Prince.
"Doctor Li, please do your best. I will wait for your news." After saying that, the emperor waved his hand and asked Doctor Li to leave.
After leaving the imperial study, Doctor Li quickly left the palace and secretly contacted Elder Yin, informing him that the plan was progressing smoothly and asking him to prepare for the entry of the head of the Shen family into the palace.
After receiving the news, Elder Yin showed a satisfied smile on his face: "Great! Shen Siyan's restoration is just around the corner!"
When everyone in Ning Mansion heard the good news, Madam Shen was even more excited: "Finally, we see hope!"
However, the atmosphere in the palace was extremely heavy.
The emperor seemed to have aged a lot overnight, with a lot more white hair. His most beloved daughter and seventh prince were poisoned one after another and were in critical condition.
In order to save them, we must find a suitable blood source to make an antidote.
But at this critical moment, the emperor was caught in a dilemma: should he use the blood of the fourteenth prince to save Yue'er and Yan'er, or preserve the last royal bloodline?
"Alas!" The emperor sighed and looked worried.
"Gao De, what do you think I should do?"
There was silence in the imperial study. The old eunuch stood aside. When he heard the emperor's words, a complicated light flashed in his eyes, but he didn't dare to say much.
The emperor clenched his fists and pounded the table with great force, making a deafening sound: "Who can tell me how I should choose?"
The old eunuch saw this and hurried forward to stop him: "Your Majesty, you must not do this, it will hurt the dragon's body!"
"Then tell me, what should I do?" The emperor raised his head, his face haggard.
"This injury is nothing! Yue'er and Yan'er are on the verge of death. Without the antidote, they won't survive for more than seven days."
"They are the continuation of my bloodline!"
The emperor felt extremely powerless. Even though he was the ruler of a country and owned the entire world, he was unable to protect his own children.
The old eunuch was filled with worry. He opened his mouth several times to say something, but nothing came out. Finally, he mustered up the courage and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, there is another person."
After hearing this, the emperor frowned slightly and raised his head: "What did you say?"
"Your Majesty, there is another person whose blood can be used to make an antidote." The old eunuch looked terrified, and his body trembled slightly when he said this.
The emperor was silent for a long time, as if he was thinking about something.
Finally, he whispered, "It's the deposed crown prince."
The deposed prince is a member of the royal family, and his blood may be able to save many people.
The emperor fell into deep thought and ordered in a slightly hoarse voice: "Go and ask Baili Lin to come see me."
"As ordered."
The old eunuch answered promptly. Although his expression showed no change of emotion, he was happy in his heart.
He had followed the emperor for many years and had always been loyal, and as a result he became the most favored eunuch.
This time, he made an exception and pleaded for the prince because he had witnessed the prince's growth and his heart was full of sympathy.
If it hadn't been for those accidents, the prince could have become a wise monarch.
Everyone makes mistakes, the key is whether they can correct them. The old eunuch sincerely hopes that the prince will have a chance to return to the palace, so he makes a suggestion to the emperor.
If the prince can save lives with his own blood, he can not only make up for his past mistakes but also win the emperor's forgiveness. This is undoubtedly a win-win choice.
