Rebirth on the wedding night, being doted on by the scumbag elder brother

Even the emperor himself couldn't help but sigh: The seventh son is really a filial son.

Just as Baili Yan was about to leave, the emperor suddenly called him, "Wait a moment."

After a brief thought, the emperor signaled the eunuch Wang Hai beside him to bring an item, which was an exquisite brocade box.

Baili Yan stood there quietly. The moment his eyes met the brocade box, he involuntarily clenched his hands hidden in his sleeves, trying hard not to let his emotions show.

This is a box of health-preserving pills. He has been waiting for ten days and finally waited for this moment.

The emperor nodded slightly, signaling eunuch Wang Hai to hand the brocade box to Baili Yan. "Yan'er, this is a special health-preserving pill made by the miracle doctor. It is very beneficial for restoring qi and blood. I hope you can recover soon and help the country."

When Baili Yan received the brocade box, there was no trace of emotion on his face, as if he had never seen such a thing before. "Thank you, father. I will adjust my condition as soon as possible and lend a helping hand to you, father."

As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't wait to open the box, took out a pill and swallowed it. He said excitedly: "The pill melted in my mouth, and I felt a warmth spreading throughout my body..."

The emperor nodded with satisfaction. This kind of health-preserving pill is extremely rare. Only one pill can be made every ten days. It is usually only given to a very few important people. Last time, the emperor gave one to the old and frail Su Taigong.

"In that case, I will take my leave first." Baili Yan bowed and turned to leave.

But after taking a few steps, his steps began to stagger.

"Seventh Prince." Wang Hai hurried forward to support him, "What's wrong with you?"

"I..." The brocade box in Baili Yan's hand slipped to the ground. He opened his mouth to say something, but suddenly vomited a mouthful of black blood.

"Cough cough..."

"Seventh Prince." Wang Hai was terrified.

Upon seeing this, the emperor immediately rushed over and said, "Yan'er, what's wrong with you? Call the imperial physician."

Baili Yan spat out a few mouthfuls of black blood again, his face turned pale, and then he fainted on the ground.

The Imperial Hospital, which had just breathed a sigh of relief, became busy again. After diagnosis, it was found that the Seventh Prince was poisoned.

"Poisoned?" The emperor slammed the table in anger, "Who dares to poison Yan'er under my nose?"

"Your Majesty, please allow me to investigate this matter..."

"Go quickly." The emperor was furious.

This scene shocked everyone, and even the emperor felt very uneasy.

Empress Xian's health had just begun to improve. If she heard the news that Baili Yan had been poisoned and was in a coma, she would probably be frightened and her condition would worsen.

Therefore, the palace decided to keep the matter secret and conduct a secret investigation.

Fortunately, Baili Yan has been staying in the palace these days, which makes it relatively easy to investigate his diet and daily life.

After careful investigation, it was discovered that the Seventh Prince had not eaten anything all day and had not even drunk a sip of tea.

The only thing he took into his body was a kind of health-preserving elixir bestowed by the emperor.

After learning of this, the emperor frowned and ordered the royal doctors to thoroughly investigate whether the elixir contained toxins, and temporarily detained Doctor Mu who provided the elixir.

After two days of detailed testing, no toxic substances were detected in the health-preserving pills, and even some people who tried them showed no abnormal reactions.

"It seems that it is not a problem with the health-preserving pills..." The emperor felt relieved, but also a little uneasy.

He immediately ordered the release of Doctor Mu and expressed his apologies.

However, Baili Yan is still in a deep coma, relying only on the most basic medical means to maintain his life.

Faced with the situation of being unable to determine the composition of the poison, the imperial doctors did not dare to try the antidote easily, and the emperor's face became increasingly gloomy.

At this time, Su Taigong came to the court with a young man, claiming that he had an urgent matter to report, and it was closely related to the Seventh Prince.

Although he was very busy, the emperor immediately received them when he heard that this matter concerned the safety of his beloved son. The emperor asked anxiously: "Mr. Su, what exactly are you talking about?"

"Your Majesty, time is running out. Please allow Doctor Tao to diagnose the Seventh Prince first. I will explain the details later." Lord Su said respectfully.

It was only then that the emperor noticed the young man following Su Taigong, who looked no more than twenty years old.

In view of the great contributions that Su Taigong had made to the country, the emperor respected him very much. Seeing that the other party was so nervous, he quickly agreed to the request, "Wang Hai, take Doctor Tao to treat Yan'er."

After Wang Hai led Doctor Tao away, Su Taigong slowly spoke: "A few days ago, I was seriously ill and almost died. Fortunately, I met Doctor Tao who brought me back to health and saved my life."

The emperor's expression became solemn when he heard this. Although he doubted the ability of a folk doctor, he still waited patiently for further instructions.

"In fact, this old minister was poisoned after taking the health-preserving pills given by the emperor." Su Taigong told the truth in a deep voice.

This statement immediately shocked the people around him, especially the eunuch beside the emperor, who loudly rebuked him, "How dare you question His Majesty?"

Master Su was not afraid at all and said bluntly: "The health-preserving pill contains toxins. The Seventh Prince is in a critical condition, and I'm afraid it's caused by poisoning."

The emperor was furious at first, but after hearing what Su Taigong said, he began to have doubts.

Indeed, Yan'er was in poor health, and he had eaten nothing that day except for the health-preserving pills.

"What evidence do you have? I have been taking it for several months and did not notice anything unusual. Why did the Seventh Prince get poisoned?" This was the confusion in the emperor's heart.

Why is it that the health-preserving pill I take is harmless, but becomes poison when it comes to Yan'er?

What is even more puzzling is that the imperial doctors checked the health-preserving pills but failed to find any toxicity.

"Your Majesty, the most important thing now is to save the Seventh Prince. Let Doctor Tao handle this matter personally." Su Taigong suggested.

After Tao Qiming took Baili Yan's pulse, he thought for a moment and then wrote down a prescription and ordered the pharmacist to get the medicine.

The imperial doctors studied the prescription carefully. After all, this was a prescription for treating royal family members. How could they trust a doctor of unknown origin?

If anything goes wrong, they will probably be implicated.

However, after some discussion, everyone confirmed that this was indeed a good detoxification remedy.

"Wait." An old and highly respected imperial physician stopped him. "Although this recipe can detoxify, it may have the opposite effect if used before the specific poison is determined."

Facing the doubts, Tao Qiming responded calmly: "Isn't the source of the poison in your hands?"

"Nonsense." The old imperial physician was so angry that his beard almost stood up. "I personally conducted an investigation and the health-preserving pills are absolutely non-toxic."

Tao Qiming sneered a few times, "The health-preserving pill is made of thirty-six kinds of medicinal herbs: Luo's grass, red leaves of Jing, and roots of the groundwood..."

He listed them one by one.

The imperial doctors became more and more shocked as they listened, because it turned out that this small pill contained so many ingredients, and they could only recognize about twenty of them.

These experienced imperial doctors felt humiliated when their shortcomings were pointed out to them in person by a young man.
