I originally thought that once all the people who knew the secret were dealt with, everything would calm down. Unexpectedly, Ye Ziru leaked the secret before her death, leading to the current situation.

Once the fact that he is not of royal descent is revealed, everything will be over!

He has given too much and cannot give up.

Baili Yan stared at Shen Yuming closely, expecting him to come up with a solution.

After careful consideration, Shen Yuming said, "Your Highness, we have no choice. If we collect blood from the prince and princess again, it may arouse greater suspicion."

"What should I do? Will my background be exposed?" Baili Yan's voice was filled with despair.

"Your Highness can pretend to be sick." Shen Yuming suggested.

"Pretending to be sick?" Baili Yan raised his head in confusion.

"You want me to pretend to be sick?"

"Yes."

Shen Yuming answered firmly. Drawing blood would expose the Seventh Prince's true identity, and at this moment, pretending to be sick was the most helpless and only option.

"But if pretending to be sick doesn't work, what should I do if they insist on taking blood?"

Baili Yan felt uneasy, fearing that this plan would not solve the problem.

Shen Yuming's eyes turned cold.

"Your Highness, don't worry. We will then say that the abnormal blood count is caused by illness. Even if we find a problem, we can use this excuse to get away with it. The imperial physician will not jump to conclusions easily."

"Yes! Why didn't I think of that!" Baili Yan suddenly understood and smiled. Pretending to be sick and blaming everything on the disease, what a good idea!

"Shen Yuming, you saved me again! When I become emperor, I will never forget your kindness!" Baili Yan patted Shen Yuming's shoulder excitedly.

Shen Yuming's mouth corners slightly raised, but he didn't say much.

He tried so hard because he wanted to change his fate. Once he succeeded, he would no longer be threatened by anyone, and then he would have new plans.

"When is the best time for me to start pretending to be sick?"

Baili Yan didn't notice the coldness in Shen Yuming's eyes, his mind was full of thoughts on how to survive the crisis.

"How about starting now?"

"Don't worry, let's find out what's going on in the palace first. Your Highness, please remember that this disease must come on quickly, and everyone must believe it."

Shen Yuming looked calm, and Baili Yan gradually felt relieved after seeing this.

"Uh-huh……"

When Baili Yan heard this, he gradually calmed down and began to seriously consider the whole plan. How can I pretend to be like this?

Maybe find a doctor and prescribe some medicine that will make people appear sick?

Thinking of this, Baili Yan thought it was a good idea, so he immediately ordered his men to secretly look for a doctor with special skills, preferably someone who knew how to use poison.

He thought of Ye Yunzi and Dr. Tao, who was good at mixing exotic medicines. It would be great if he could invite Dr. Tao.

So he sent another team to Ningcaotang to invite Dr. Tao.

Not long after, his subordinates reported that Ningcaotang was empty.

"no one?"

Baili Yan was stunned for a moment. Dr. Tao had a close relationship with the Ning Mansion and knew Ye Yunzi. How could he suddenly not be in the capital?

Although he was full of doubts, he put the matter aside for the time being.

At the same time, on the way back to Beijing, Tao Qiming, Ye Yunzi and their group were driving. Everyone's face was very serious, especially Leng Xue, who gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, alert to possible attacks.

On the other side of the capital, in the Shen Mansion, when Mrs. Shen learned that blood was being drawn in the palace, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.

"Blood collection?"

This was a strictly confidential matter in the palace, and Mrs. Shen learned of the news through her own channels.

"Why do you want to take the blood of the prince and princess?"

She was moved and thought of Shen Siyan - the young man whose real identity was the eldest prince. He had been controlled by them. In another half a month, when the poisonous insect was completely integrated with his blood, they would be able to control him at will.

Madam Shen was thinking about how to restore Shen Siyan's status as the eldest prince, but how to do it specifically was a difficult problem.

I can't just take Shen Siyan to see the emperor and tell him that the eldest prince is still alive and is Shen Siyan.

The blood drawing incident might be a great opportunity!

Madam Shen took a sip of tea, and the plan in her mind became clearer. As long as they could successfully let Shen Siyan return as the eldest prince, their plan to restore the country would take an important step forward.

"I have to go discuss this with Lord Yin," she thought to herself.

Mrs. Shen made up her mind, put down the teacup in her hand, immediately got up and left the house, and quietly went to find Lord Yin.

After listening to Mrs. Shen's plan, Lord Yin felt that it was indeed feasible.

"That's right. The blood-drawing ceremony in the palace is a good opportunity to prove the identity of the eldest prince." He nodded, his eyes full of deep thought.

"But how can we get Shen Siyan to participate in blood collection? The palace only draws blood from princes and princesses. Even if Shen Siyan can enter the palace, we can't find a suitable reason." Mrs. Shen asked.

Lord Yin stroked his beard and said after thinking for a moment: "This is a simple matter."

"Do you have a solution?" Mrs. Shen's eyes lit up and she asked anxiously.

Lord Yin sneered: "How difficult is that? Just find a reasonable excuse."

"Then what exactly should we do?"

Madam Shen was a little excited, and even trembled slightly. She had been looking forward to this moment for a long time. Once Shen Siyan was confirmed as the eldest prince, her status would be elevated and it would be more convenient for her to act.

Lord Yin glanced at Madam Shen and said, "You don't have to worry. Just wait patiently for good news."

"OK, I see."

Madam Shen responded, knowing that Lord Yin would handle everything properly, and if she intervened rashly, it might cause trouble.

She thought of Doctor Tao and the others again, and couldn't help but frowned: "Master Yin, how is the progress of the pursuit of Tao Qiming? Have they been dealt with?"

When this matter was mentioned, Lord Yin's expression suddenly changed, and he was obviously quite dissatisfied with it.

The secret guards he trained were unable to capture those people, allowing them to escape. They also rushed to Liucheng to look for the miracle doctor Xue An, but unfortunately they were still one step too late, as the miracle doctor had been taken away by the other party.

"Damn it!" Lord Yin slammed the table, furious.

Madam Shen was startled and her face turned pale: "Sir?"

"Don't worry, they can't escape from my grasp. As long as we get rid of them before they return to the capital, everything will be fine."

Lord Yin said through gritted teeth.

Seeing this, Mrs. Shen dared not say anything more.

She knew that this matter was caused by her. If she had seen through the conspiracy of Doctor Tao and Ye Yunzi earlier, she would not have revealed Shen Siyan's secret. Lord Yin was cleaning up the mess for her.

Lord Yin took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "Okay, you can go back."

"Yes." Mrs. Shen stood up and left.

After Madam Shen left, Lord Yin was alone and the anger in his heart gradually subsided.

Doctor Xue and the others must be dealt with. They must not be allowed to return to the capital at any cost, otherwise bad things will happen.

At the same time, Shen Siyan’s status as the eldest prince must be restored as soon as possible.
