Chapter 371 A Miracle Happened
"I'm fine..." She forced a smile.
What was going on? Baili Yan didn't know that Su Taigong was poisoned. He guessed that Ye Yunzi mentioned the health pill out of filial piety and wanted to ask for more pills for her father.
So he said: "The health-preserving pills are indeed very effective. Father has been in high spirits and in a much better mood recently."
"When did you say it started?" Ye Yunzi asked.
"After Doctor Mu entered the palace." Baili Yan replied.
Hearing this name, Ye Yunzi's face turned even paler, and her hands began to tremble uncontrollably. "Seventh Prince, can you secretly give me a health-preserving pill? This matter is very important and cannot be known to anyone."
Her expression was serious and her tone was urgent, which made Baili Yan feel something was wrong. He also became serious and asked, "What happened?"
"I'll tell you once I find out the truth, but the situation is urgent now. Please help me get a health pill immediately."
Although he had doubts in his heart, Baili Yan agreed based on his trust in Ye Yunzi, "Okay, I'll go get it now."
"Remember, you must not let anyone else find out." Ye Yunzi reminded again and again.
This matter is obviously related to Mu Yan and the Fourth Prince, and it is by no means as simple as it seems.
This so-called health-preserving elixir is probably not just for improving physical fitness. Ye Yunzi is increasingly convinced that there must be some hidden story behind it.
Anxiously waiting until the sun set, Baili Yan came to the Su Mansion in person and brought the health-preserving pill.
Ye Yunzi immediately welcomed him into the inner courtyard, where many people had already gathered. "Your Highness, have you brought the health-preserving pills?"
"Here's the thing." Baili Yan said, carefully handing over the health pill wrapped in a handkerchief. Tao Qiming moved quickly and took the precious pill.
Baili Yan raised his eyebrows slightly. He noticed that there was a man in the backyard where the women lived, and he couldn't help but feel suspicious.
Ye Yunzi's voice was gentle and calm: "Doctor Tao, thank you for your help."
Tao Qiming looked at Baili Yan in front of him. Even though he knew that the other party was of noble status and a member of the royal family, there was no fear in his eyes.
He secretly observed the unusual look in Baili Yan's eyes when he looked at Miss Ye, and alarm bells rang in his heart.
Could it be that this boy has some improper thoughts about Miss Ye? Miss Ye is Brother Shen's wife, so he has to keep a close eye on her for his brother and not let anyone take advantage of her.
"Doctor Tao?" Ye Yunzi saw Tao Qiming was in a daze and reminded him softly.
Tao Qiming then came to his senses, turned around and went into the house, and began to carefully study the ingredients of the health-preserving pill.
While waiting, Ye Yunzi briefly explained to Baili Yan what had happened.
Baili Yan was shocked after hearing this: "Do you suspect that there is toxin hidden in this health-preserving pill?"
"That's right." Ye Yunzi nodded affirmatively.
"How is this possible?" Baili Yan shook his head in disbelief. "Father has been taking this pill for several days, and not only is there no sign of poisoning, but his complexion is rosy, and his body feels much lighter..."
Before he finished speaking, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Tao Qiming shouted excitedly, "I understand."
Upon hearing the voice, Ye Yunzi and Baili Yan immediately turned around and walked into the room.
Tao Qiming's eyes sparkled with excitement: "This thing is so ingenious! I haven't come across something so interesting in a long time. It really makes my blood boil."
"Doctor Tao, what is the secret of this health-preserving pill?" Ye Yunzi asked anxiously.
"There are a total of thirty-six medicinal herbs and poisonous herbs used in this medicine," Tao Qiming explained. "After a person takes it, their Qi and blood will be quickly burned, and they will feel refreshed and full of energy in a short period of time. However, once the Qi and blood are depleted, the disease will come like a landslide. By then, even Hua Tuo will be helpless."
Ye Yunzi and Baili Yan were both horrified when they heard this. They never expected that this health-preserving pill would be such a sinister and terrifying thing.
Ye Yunzi's heart tightened, and she quickly asked, "Then my grandfather..."
"Don't worry, I'll prepare the antidote right now." Tao Qiming quickly wrote down a prescription and gave it to the servant to get the medicine. "Your grandfather's poisoning is not serious. He will be fine as long as he takes a few doses of medicine on time."
He paused and continued, "Logically speaking, the toxicity won't show up so quickly, it will take at least a year and a half.
But your grandfather was poisoned when he was young, which caused his qi and blood to be deficient, so he fell ill immediately after taking this highly toxic health pill. "
I don’t know whether this is lucky or unfortunate.
Hearing the news that her grandfather was fine, Ye Yunzi felt relieved. But at this moment, Baili Yan's brows were tightly knitted as he quickly sorted out the whole story in his mind.
The health-preserving pills that the emperor is taking now actually contain a deadly poison. It is obvious that someone is secretly plotting to kill his father.
Baili Yan was full of doubts. Who exactly was Doctor Mu?
Just as he was thinking, Ye Yunzi quietly appeared in front of him and raised her head gently, "Seventh Prince."
Baili Yan came back to his senses and looked at the woman in front of him. Her face was as pure as the first snow, and beneath her seemingly innocent and fragile appearance, she hid a pair of eyes that could see through people's hearts.
"Seventh Prince, I have an opportunity to make a great contribution. Are you willing to trust me?" Ye Yunzi said softly.
When the news came that Empress Xian was suddenly seriously ill, Baili Yan went to the palace to visit her at night and did not leave for three consecutive days.
The entire Imperial Medical Bureau became busy because of this, and all the doctors tried their best to save Empress Xian.
"Mother..." Baili Yan knelt beside the bed, worry in his eyes.
At this time, Empress Xian's face was pale, and her forehead was covered with fine cold sweat. She advised weakly: "Go back quickly, don't let my disease infect you."
Seeing this, Baili Yan held his mother's hand tightly and said firmly: "My son is not afraid."
At this moment, the emperor, who had just finished reviewing the memorials, came in hastily. Seeing the frail Concubine Xian, he frowned and gently comforted her, "Don't worry about anything. Take good care of yourself."
Although she was extremely weak, Concubine Xian still managed to force out a smile and responded, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I am fine."
Immediately, the emperor ordered the imperial physician to treat Concubine Xian again.
From that day on, Baili Yan stayed in the palace almost all the time, hardly closing his eyes for seven days, always accompanying his sick mother.
Just when everyone thought that Empress Xian would have a hard time recovering, a miracle happened.
Her condition began to improve, her strength gradually recovered, and her complexion became better and better.
Finally, on a sunny day, the emperor summoned Baili Yan to the imperial study.
After meeting, Baili Yan bowed respectfully, "Your Highness, I greet you, Father."
The emperor nodded in approval. "You have worked hard during this period. Now that Concubine Xian's condition has improved, you should go back and have a rest."
"Yes, sir." Baili Yan, who had not slept for several days, looked extremely haggard, with bloodshot eyes. His filial piety moved everyone who saw him.
