Chapter 81 Three Princes and One Concubine 3
Yan Yu was poisoned and his life was hanging by a thread.
All the imperial doctors of Dayan were in the Seventh Prince's residence. Concubine Cui almost fainted from crying, and the Southern Territory delegation was surrounded by heavily armored imperial guards, because the imperial doctor's examination showed that the poison came from a wound on the arm.
Guan Tianxin's fate was not much better. He was also confined to the Eastern Palace. The whole Dayan was in turmoil.
Yan Yi, who rushed to the Seventh Prince's Mansion after receiving the news, had a mist in his peach blossom eyes. Before entering the Seventh Prince's Mansion, he had already made an estimate in his mind that this matter... was most likely done by Guan Tianxin.
But it was too risky. Even if the emperor intended to use Yan Yu to give her a chance, if her life was hanging by a thread, the emperor would definitely be furious, and Guan Tianxin would be implicated...
Now even the queen has shown up, waiting in the Seventh Prince's residence, awaiting the imperial physician's verdict.
The door was pushed open, and the judge of the Imperial Hospital looked at the scene in the courtyard and his legs became weak. He knelt down and said, "Your Majesty... I am incompetent and cannot help detoxify His Majesty the Seventh Prince."
"This poison is strange and has never been heard of in the Central Plains. I don't know where to start. Although my life has been saved for now, I don't understand the toxicity of it and don't know what the consequences will be..."
Concubine Cui collapsed to the ground, "How could this happen? What about my daughter Yu'er? Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you must save Yu'er and never let those evildoers in the Southern Region go!"
The emperor's face was as gloomy as an abyss, and his words "bring the Southern Territory delegation here" made everyone's backs shiver and hold their breath.
Xiao Lie led the imperial guards and said hesitantly, "Your Majesty, the Crown Princess..."
"Whether to come or not, let the Crown Princess decide."
Xiao Lie breathed a sigh of relief: "I will obey your order."
The imperial guards were wearing heavy armor and armed with swords. The Southern Territory envoys were all suppressed in the residence of the Seventh Prince.
Except for Pingli Tur, whose face turned pale with fear, and Yunong Wutu, whose face looked heavy, everyone else was forced to kneel on the ground.
Dayan's attitude is already very clear. If Yan Yu's poison cannot be cured today, they are afraid that they will not be able to leave Dayan alive.
At this time, Guan Tianxin lowered his eyes, not looking at anyone, and followed Xiao Lie to the Seventh Prince's Mansion, standing aside in silence.
Yunong Wutu said solemnly, "Your Majesty, I know that it is useless to say anything at this moment. Please ask Your Majesty to let the doctors of the Southern Region take a look at the Seventh Prince. Saving lives is the most important thing. If you want to hold me accountable later, I will not shirk my responsibility."
The emperor said with a cold face: "Yes."
Several doctors from the Southern Region immediately followed the Great Yan imperial physician into the room. After a moment, they came out one by one with pale faces: "Prime Minister... it's... it's the poison of the snake. There is no cure except for the Regent!"
Yunong Wutu staggered and instantly realized that this must have been done by the regent, who wanted them to keep their lives in Dayan!
The delegation also became confused, and it was easy for them to think of this: "It was the Regent who framed us. He wanted to keep the king's orders in Dayan, and from now on, no one in the southern region would be able to hinder us!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Yi stared at Guan Tianxin who was standing next to Xiao Lie...
The emperor waved his hand, and the imperial guards held their swords across the necks of all the envoys, ready to chop them down at any time.
"I don't want to know about the internal fighting in your Southern Territory. What kind of poison is Snake Yu?"
Yunong Wutu said in a strong voice: "Snake Encounter is made from the saliva of thousands of snakes. This poison was created by the Regent King Zhan Falcon Tur, and is specially used to torture those who disobey."
"The poison will attack the heart meridians of the poisoned, like thousands of snakes... biting the body. The attacks will occur every night, making the person's life worse than death. Even those with strong constitutions will not survive for more than three days. There is no cure except for the Regent."
Concubine Cui went completely crazy and was about to kill Pingli Tur with a sword, but was stopped by the imperial guards.
"Three days! It's too late to make it to the Southern Region. My son will surely die. I must kill you. Kill you!"
Seeing the long sword dancing in front of him, Pingli Tur completely collapsed.
Screaming: "It's none of my fault. It's all the work of the bastard Regent. Snake... Oh, I have a way. Don't kill me, don't kill me."
Everyone's eyes converged, but Yunong Wutu suddenly seemed to have thought of something. He ignored his sword and moved forward, intending to cover Pingli Tur's mouth: "Shut up, you shut up!"
The imperial guards held down Yunong Wutu.
Pingli Tur said without caring, "Back then, my sister contradicted my father and was thrown into a land of thousands of snakes. She was bitten by many snakes but still survived. Now that she has a body that is resistant to snake venom, if we pass the venom to my sister, the Seventh Prince can survive!"
Yunong Wutu burst into tears and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"What a curse! The Saint is the last hope of the Southern Region. If the snake encounters her, the Regent will be truly unrestrained. God wants to destroy our Southern Region!"
Pingli Tur said in a sharp voice: "I am the King of the Southern Territory. How can I die in Dayan? My sister has been in the royal family of the Southern Territory since she was young. It is her fate to sacrifice for the Southern Territory!"
Guan Tianxin walked slowly towards the Seventh Prince's bedroom and said, "Prime Minister, a snake can resist this Saint Maiden. If you are still obsessed, then fight for my life."
Yunong Wutu froze and stared at Pingli Tur's ferocious expression.
He watched for a long time until Yan Yu's anxious voice came from the Seventh Prince's bedroom: "Tianxin, Tianxin, how are you? Imperial physician, save him, what are you doing!"
Concubine Cui was overjoyed and rushed into the room immediately.
Yunong Wutu suddenly kowtowed to the Emperor of Yan and said, "Your Majesty, the Southern Region is to blame for this matter. Considering that the Saint is the Crown Princess of Yan and that she was the Seventh Prince, can this matter be expunged?"
The emperor said coldly: "No, the Crown Princess risked her life to save the prince. This is our Great Yan's business. What does it have to do with the poisoning in the Southern Territory?"
Yunong Wutu raised his eyes and said, "If the royal family of the Southern Region is abolished and the Crown Princess of Dayan is respected from now on, will Your Majesty still pursue this?"
The pupils of everyone in the yard were trembling. They were crazy, all crazy!
But if this is the case, wouldn’t the Southern Region become a vassal state of Dayan?
After being stunned, Pingli Tur went completely crazy, but was held down by the imperial guards.
"How dare you, old man? You dare to destroy the throne of my Southern Territory royal family. You are a traitor. You deserve to die. My sister also deserves to die. All of you should die!"
Xiao Lie couldn't bear it any longer, so he swung his spear and knocked Pingli Tur unconscious, and finally the place became quiet.
The emperor's expression remained calm, making it impossible for anyone to tell what he was thinking.
He looked down at the kneeling Yunong Wutu and asked: "What is your proof?"
With blood still on the corner of his mouth, Yunong Wutu pointed at the unconscious Pingli Tur and said, "Your Majesty, please stay in Dayan and let Your Majesty decide. I want to take the envoy back to the Southern Region as soon as possible."
"The name of the Saint is what the people of the Southern Territory believe in. If you want to overthrow the royal family, the incident with the snake is enough. However, the Regent King will definitely raise an army. Please ask the Emperor of Great Yan to send troops to accompany the delegation to stabilize the regime in the Southern Territory."
"If you want to cure the snake's poison, you must capture the regent. I know that Dayan will also suffer losses if we start a war. The Southern Region is willing to become Dayan's vassal. I beg Your Majesty to save Dayan's Crown Princess. The people of the Southern Region will be grateful."
When the emperor turned around, there was a slight curve at the corner of his lips, and his voice was still emotionless.
"The regent of the Southern Territory poisoned our prince. This crime deserves death. Great Yan will never back down. The king of the Southern Territory will be thrown into the sky prison. We will discuss the war in the morning tomorrow."
"The Crown Princess's rescue of the prince is well-known throughout the world. Great Yan is proud to have such a crown prince's wife. We should clear away all the thorns for her and regain the glory. The Crown Princess of Great Yan is also the Saint of the Southern Region. From now on, the Southern Region will respect the Saint!"
