Lin Yi returned to the palace and took off his clothes. It was unknown if it was because Zhou Ye found him unsightly or if he found his face ugly, but Lin Yi had almost rubbed off a layer of skin.
Lin Yi used warm water to cover his face. He raised his head and felt the steam rising from his body.
After three days, finally, someone came to report that the rankings posted on the city gate had been lifted.
Lin Yi raised his eyebrows in surprise. The Emperor Leaderboard had only been posted for a few days, right? How did someone take it out already? Under normal circumstances, there would be very few people from the commoners who would want to find a doctor, because if even the imperial physician couldn't cure it, then the illness was no ordinary illness. Also, the palace wouldn't give you the chance to try treating it, because if you couldn't, then most doctors would find it difficult to escape death.
"Let him wait." Lin Yi opened his mouth and took off the cloth over his face. He changed into his usual clothes and put on his crown once again.
The ones waiting for Lin Yi were the old man and the old lady.
The old man's face was full of resistance, while the old lady held onto his sleeve to console him.
"If even he isn't in a hurry for his father's life, then what do we care?" The old woman was the one who revealed the royal name list, but how could the old man not know that there were several people on the side of the bed? This was clearly trying to force him to make a move.
The old lady covered the old man's mouth and asked him to be cautious, "Then are you worried about your disciple's life? If there's no hurry, we can leave. After all, the only successor has died, so the one who has no face to face our ancestors is not me. " There was a threat in his voice.
"Humph!" The old man was stubborn and worried about Su Mu's safety.
The water was too deep. Who knew who would drown here?
The old woman held the old man's hand, two pairs of almost dry hands folded together. No distinction between you and me.
Finally, Lin Yi came out.
Lin Yi didn't say much. He directly brought the two of them to the emperor's chambers.
"Godly Doctor, please." Lin Yi stretched out his hand and lifted the golden curtain.
A palace maid quietly went out of the main hall. Lin Yi glanced up and a golden leaf appeared in his hand. With a little more force, the golden leaf flew out and a line of blood appeared on the palace maid's neck.
The remaining eunuchs and maids in the palace all knelt down and begged for mercy.
However, Lin Yi didn't even look at it. He threw out a few more golden leaves, reaping the harvest.
"He's just a little brat, but his methods are quite ruthless." The old man mumbled.
The old lady slapped the back of the old man's hand. This was really infuriating, why did he speak like that?
The old man was used to being casually beaten by his wife, so he felt somewhat wronged.
"It's fine." "As long as royal father wakes up, this king is willing to pay any price." Now that he already had the power to fight against Yan Hen, it was only a matter of time before he would lose all face.
"Hur hur." For some reason, when the old man saw Lin Yi, he always wanted to say a few words in response. It was as if the old man was born with an improper plate. But even though he didn't like Lin Yi, the old man still held the emperor's hand and felt his pulse.
The old man had spent nearly a quarter of an hour on this meridian. His face was growing darker and darker, as if he would explode and curse at anyone at any time. Lin Yi even heard the sound of grinding teeth.
The old lady kept patting the old man's back, trying to make him relax. She glanced at Lin Yi from the corner of her eyes, paying attention to his every move.
Finally, the old man lowered his hand and tucked the emperor's hand back into the blanket.
"How is it?" Lin Yi personally carried a cup of tea to the old man.
"With me here, I won't die." The old man's tone was harsh, but the words he said made people happy.
Lin Yi raised his brows, "Does the genius doctor know what kind of illness royal father is suffering from?"
"What? You don't believe me?" The old man didn't accept the cup of tea. He stood up and looked down at Lin Yi.
"The medical skills of the leader of the Shennong Valley are naturally trustworthy." Ever since Imperial Physician Zhang told him about this place, Lin Yi had sent someone to find information about the valley. The information also contained a portrait of the valley master, who was also fuming.
"No wonder you're so respectful to me." The old man read Lin Yi's story from beginning to end. "It seems that you already know that the Emperor was poisoned by my Divine Nong Valley."
When the old lady heard this, she widened her eyes and thought of someone.
Lin Yi nodded and promised, "This King will not hold Shennong Valley accountable, but this King wants to know who brought this poison."
The old man glanced at the old lady, and seeing that she had no intention of stopping him, he straightforwardly revealed the man's identity.
"That person was called Song Luo. He was good at using poison, and had a brand on his face. The brand was' sin '."
It was a boy that the old lady had picked up. There was a forest outside the Shennong Valley. The forest was filled with miasma, and anyone who dared to enter would die. However, the little boy was lucky enough to be taken home by the old lady. The boy had lost all his memory and did not know where his home was. The old lady missed Song Zhiqiu, but due to the old man, she had always suppressed her desire to find a girl. When she met the boy, the old lady begged the old man to keep the boy as a pharmacist.
At first the old man was unhappy, but when he saw that the child could please the old lady, he tacitly allowed him to stay in the valley and taught him a few things in his free time. One day, the old man discovered that the boy had been secretly playing with the poison. He had even stolen quite a few of the poison formulas from the boy, and had even taken some of the birds and creatures in the valley to test the poison. The old man drove him out of Shennong Valley in one go.
Lin Yi remembered the name and planned to send someone to check it out later.
"Then, what ingredients would the Valley Master like to use to cure the poison? This King will have people prepare it. " Lin Yi was as respectful as ever, neither humble nor haughty as before. He picked up a brush, paper, ink, and paper before placing them on the table.
"This poison has already been left in His Majesty's body for a long time. If I want to extract the poison, I'll need to spend a lot of time and effort." The old man dipped his ink into it and wrote down a piece of Xuan paper filled with medicinal ingredients. "Prepare the ingredients by tomorrow."
The old man threw the pen down and took out a set of golden needles from the medicine box he carried with him.
Lin Yi sensibly stepped forward and lifted the blanket, then took off the emperor's undergarments.
The old lady looked away and moved to a different seat.
The old man's eyes shone with a sharp light. He held the silver needles in his hand steadily, one by one without hesitation. Not long after, the emperor's chest was pierced with 981 silver needles, making him look like a hedgehog.
When the last needle fell, the emperor's nearly invisible chest rose and fell fiercely. With a loud cough, the emperor suddenly straightened up, his eyes bulging out, the veins on his face bulging as he abruptly spat out a mouthful of black blood, sprinkling it on the bright yellow blanket.
After spitting out this mouthful of blood, the Emperor once again passed out in dejection.
"It doesn't matter, it's a good thing that I'm able to spit out the blood." Afraid that Lin Yi would be worried, the old lady explained for the old man who didn't know how to speak kindly.
Lin Yi's heart relaxed.
"Starting tomorrow, extract the poison. Extract the poison for seven days. Do not be disturbed during this period." The old man's hand was also spattered with blood, and he was wiping the emperor's undergarments in disgust.
Lin Yi nodded as a thought came to mind.
It seemed like Zhou Ye was still required to make a move.
