Chapter 405 The Palace Coup Begins
Bedroom.
The Great Emperor lay in bed on a snowy night.
The once glorious emperor is now an old man on the verge of death, his former majesty long gone.
The closer you get to the bed, the stronger the pungent, fishy smell becomes.
This was clearly a sign that the poison had seeped into his bones, but Tang San couldn't tell what kind of poison it was just by looking at it.
This poison is no ordinary poison, capable of leaving even a group of imperial physicians helpless.
Tang San walked to the bedside, but the guards responsible for protecting Emperor Xue Ye stopped him.
Xue Qinghe looked haggard and waved his hand, saying, "No need, let Brother Tang Yin treat Father Emperor."
The guards made way for Tang San, who knelt down to take Emperor Xue Ye's pulse.
The pulse on the snowy night was very complex and quite weak, which confirmed that the poison was a mixture of toxins.
If this drags on for another two days, even a miracle won't save us.
It is now confirmed that Emperor Xueye was poisoned, and it seems that Prince Xuexing's words were not entirely false.
In the past, Tang San might not have gotten involved in this mess, but now, in order to fight against the Spirit Hall, the Heaven Dou Empire must be won over.
This time, he was presented with two options. One was to side with Xue Qinghe and tell him that the poison that Emperor Xue Ye had contracted was incurable. In this way, after Emperor Xue Ye died, Xue Qinghe could directly take over the throne.
At the same time, because of his verdict, no one felt that Xue Qinghe's rise to power was illegitimate.
But don't forget, he wasn't the only one who invested in Xue Qinghe; the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School undoubtedly accounted for the majority of the investment.
Given their attitude, if they remain confined to a corner of the world in the future, how will Tang San deal with the Spirit Hall?
Not to mention, a large number of nobles are also supporters of Xue Qinghe.
Tang San's investment at this moment would only be icing on the cake, with very little benefit to be gained.
Supporting Prince Snowstar is a different story.
This uncle and nephew were on the verge of despair. By extending a helping hand to them now, he will become the greatest contributor in the future.
If an avalanche occurs, the situation will be completely different.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is closely tied to Xue Qinghe; if the latter loses power, they will inevitably be implicated. Without their strongest backer, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will surely side with the Haotian School.
With this thought in mind, Tang San stood up, faced everyone present, and said, "His Majesty is on the verge of death. I can only use a few medicines to stabilize his condition for now."
"As for whether it can be cured later, that depends on whether we can find suitable medicinal materials."
Xue Qinghe pretended to breathe a sigh of relief.
He was genuinely afraid that Tang San, being pragmatic, would pronounce the Snow Night Emperor "death" on the spot. If that were the case, all his previous plans would have been for nothing.
Princess Xueke urged, "Tang Yin, what are we waiting for? Quickly write out the prescription, and I'll have someone prepare it."
Tang San chuckled, put down his medicine box, and took out several herbs. "Simmer these herbs over low heat for half an hour."
After giving his instructions, the physician couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, Bone Douluo, are you sure there's no problem with the few poisons in these ingredients?"
Tang San said solemnly, "His Majesty has been poisoned. These poisons can neutralize the toxins in His Majesty's body and temporarily stabilize his condition."
The pinnacle of the Breaking Clan's creation, the Five-Colored Poison, was unknown to Tang San, but through the diagnosis just now, he had already discerned some of the poisoning symptoms.
Fortunately, Emperor Xueye possessed some Soul Master cultivation, so as long as he could suppress some of the toxins, his symptoms would be significantly reduced.
Xue Qinghe hesitated for a long time in front of everyone before finally asking, "Tang Yin, will Father's condition really improve after taking your medicine?"
Tang San emphasized, "Your Highness, this medicine can only temporarily stabilize His Majesty's symptoms. Further treatment will require the assistance of many rare and precious herbs." Xue Qinghe thought for a moment, then waved his hand, "Do as Tang Yin says and brew the medicine for Father. If I find out that anyone dares to make any trouble, don't blame me for being ruthless."
As he spoke, he turned to the ancient banyan tree and said, "Senior Bone Douluo, please keep an eye on things."
Gu Rong responded and went with the imperial physicians to brew the medicine.
Immediately afterward, Xue Qinghe gestured for him to proceed: "Brother Tang Yin, it's wonderful that Father's illness has a chance to improve. I wonder, what rare and precious herbs are needed to detoxify Father?"
"If my royal family has it, we will certainly provide it. As for the reward, just name your price."
Tang San sneered inwardly.
Who poisoned Emperor Xueye is no longer important. What matters is that he has now placed himself on the opposite side of Xue Qinghe, and naturally, he will not expect any benefits from the other party.
"Your Highness is too kind. As the saying goes, a doctor should have a benevolent heart. I was merely fulfilling the duties of a physician."
"The emperor is like a father. His Majesty is the emperor and father in the hearts of the people of the empire, and he is also the emperor and father of me, Tang Yin."
Xue Qinghe suddenly smiled, "I didn't expect Brother Tang Yin to have such a broad mind. I was being presumptuous this time."
"Brother Tang Yin, may I have a word with you in private? We can discuss Father's illness and how to cure him. Your Highness, please come along too."
Tang San breathed a slight sigh of relief; at least with Princess Xue Ke around, Xue Qinghe wouldn't dare to act recklessly.
……
While the medicine was being brewed, Tang San was pulled aside by Xue Qinghe to talk about some matters in the pavilion outside the palace.
Tang San still hasn't figured out the properties of the Five-Colored Poison, so naturally he doesn't know how to cure it. At best, his methods can only keep Xue Ye alive, at least preventing her from dying in the short term.
To fully understand the illness, he needs to go back and think it over carefully, and continue to experiment with different medicinal herbs.
More than an hour later, escorted by Bone Douluo, the imperial physician brought over the prepared medicinal soup.
Xue Qinghe stood up and said with a smile, "Brother Tang Yin, let's go and see how Father is doing."
Tang San was very confident in his prescription and believed it was perfectly acceptable.
However, he needs to figure out a way to extricate himself. If Xue Qinghe thinks he is a variable, then things could get complicated.
In the bedroom.
Emperor Xueye was already unconscious and unable to drink the medicine on his own.
Fearing something might go wrong, Tang San volunteered to feed the medicine, but in reality, he wanted to take the opportunity to check if the medicine had been tampered with by others.
After examining the drink with a special silver needle and finding no problems, Tang San felt relieved and fed it to Emperor Xue Ye.
On the other side, a royal physician was constantly checking Emperor Xueye's pulse to prevent any accidents.
Gu Rong subtly gave Xue Qinghe a wink.
The Five-Colored Poison is composed of numerous mildly toxic medicinal herbs. The reason why Emperor Xueye could still be alive was because he was missing the last ingredient.
The last ingredient was neither poisonous nor odorless. Especially when mixed into the "poison" prepared by Tang San, even Dugu Bo couldn't detect anything amiss, let alone Tang San.
Five minutes after the medicine entered his body, Emperor Xueye's pulse stabilized.
Tang San breathed a slight sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "Your Highness, His Majesty's condition has stabilized for the time being."
"However, given His Majesty's current physical condition, some meat can be cooked until very tender and fed to him."
"Prolonged periods without food." (End of Chapter)
