So, he said to the judge, "Sir, it is precisely because it is a matter of life and death for King Liang that we have to try. Otherwise, if the disease is delayed, then we won't be able to try even if we want to."
The queen was extremely upset after hearing this. She picked up the Buddhist beads and walked to the bedside, looking at Prince Liang's purple face. He was breathing with difficulty and his mouth was open. Although he was unconscious, his body was trembling and saliva was flowing from the corners of his mouth. She did not know any medical skills, but she knew that this was not a solution.
The prince advised again: "Mother, since we have already invited the emperor's uncle, why not invite Xia Zian to the palace? Even if she doesn't know any medical skills and doesn't know any experts, it won't harm the situation. What if she really knows someone? Then my brother can be saved."
The queen thought about it and it made sense, so she sent someone over, "Take my handwritten order and go to the prime minister's residence to summon Xia Zian to the palace."
The nanny took the order, drafted a warrant, and hurried out of the palace to the prime minister's residence.
Murong Jie was discussing matters with his ministers in his mansion when he heard someone in the palace say that Prince Liang was ill again and his condition was very critical. He immediately ordered someone to prepare a carriage to go into the palace.
On the way to the palace, he suddenly opened the curtain and said to Ni Rong: "Ni Rong, go to the Prime Minister's residence immediately and invite Xia Zian into the palace."
Ni Rong hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid the Queen will not allow it."
"The condition is critical, she cannot refuse." Murong Jie said sternly.
"Your Highness, please think twice. All the imperial doctors in the palace must be staying by the side of Prince Liang. If even the imperial doctors can't help, Xia Zian certainly can't help either. She is just a girl in seclusion. Even if she knows medical skills, can she be better than the imperial doctors?"
Murong Jie closed his eyes and thought about what Xia Zian said that day. He didn't know whether she was proficient in medical skills, but he could tell from her words that she had studied acupuncture.
"Never mind about it for now. Send someone to invite him. I will take full responsibility for any consequences." Murong Jie said.
When Ni Rong heard him say this, he didn't know what to say. He asked the driver to stop and rushed to the prime minister's residence.
Let's talk about the other side of the story. Zi'an took the poisoned wine and glanced around at the people present with an indifferent expression, finally his gaze fell on Prime Minister Xia's face.
She really didn't want to ask him anything else, because she knew that all she would get was disappointment. However, the original owner's emotions were still playing tricks on her mind and heart, as if she would not give up until she got to the bottom of it.
So, she held up her wine glass and asked Prime Minister Xia, "Father, I have one last question for you. Do you really have to be so heartless?"
Zi'an decided that if she saw a hint of hesitation or softness in his eyes, she would not make things difficult for him in the future for the sake of the original owner's feelings for him.
Zi'an felt that her idea was stupid, but she had to follow the remaining feelings of the original owner.
Prime Minister Xia also proved Zi'an's idiocy with his actions. He looked at her sternly, his expression still impatient, "I used to be soft-hearted towards you, but it's a pity that you didn't cherish me. If you had obediently gotten into the bridal sedan, this wouldn't have happened today. You created the cause yourself, and you have to bear the bitter consequences yourself."
I don't know when a kingfisher came to the window frame. It was green all over and it flapped its wings and landed there.
After Prime Minister Xia said this, the kingfisher fluttered away.
The cries of crows came from far away, and each sound was like crying blood. Even in broad daylight, it still felt indescribably chilling and creepy to the ears.
Xia Wan'er looked at Zi'an with a gloating look. She really wanted to see the despair and pain on Xia Zi'an's face.
The reason Xia Zian asked this question was simply because she hoped her father would show leniency to her out of consideration for their relationship, but unfortunately, her father had no intention of letting her go.
She was waiting to see Xia Zian's heartbroken expression, but unfortunately, Zian didn't. On the contrary, she breathed a sigh of relief, as if a stone that had been weighing on her heart was lifted off her shoulders, and even her face looked relaxed.
Zi'an really felt that he no longer had any attachment to this so-called father.
She knew that when Prime Minister Xia said this, the original owner's feelings for him had disappeared, and she would no longer have any hope for him.
Then, she didn't need to think about any friendship from now on, they could only be enemies.
Zi'an pushed the ring onto his fingertips and gently stirred the poisoned wine in the cup.
The special material of the ring can absorb most of the toxins.
"What are you still hesitating about? Come here, make her drink it!" The old lady glared and said sternly.
She has already spent too much time dealing with this matter today. Now she just wants to deal with Xia Zian as soon as possible, and then find a way to resolve the divorce issue.
In order to settle the divorce case, Yuan's crime of "cheating" must be proven, so she was unwilling to waste too much energy here.
Cuiyu and Lanyu stepped forward and tried to restrain Zian. Zian's eyes turned cold and he said, "Get out of here!"
"You dare to be so arrogant when you are about to die?" Xia Wan'er kicked him, but Zi'an was faster than her. When she raised her leg, Zi'an kicked her hard on the shin bone. Xia Wan'er took two steps back and fell to the ground.
At the same time, Zi'an drank the poisoned wine in the cup in one gulp, threw the cup to the ground, and said bitterly: "Xia Zi'an will not let you go even if he becomes a ghost."
Although most of the poisonous wine had been dissipated by the Soul-Snatching Ring, there was still some toxicity left. Zi'an's body was very weak and he was unable to resist the poison. He felt dizzy, and his throat tasted fishy and sweet, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
How could Madam Linglong be willing to let her die so easily? She ordered in a cold voice: "Come on, take her to the dark room, don't dirty the old lady's room."
The feeling of dizziness was getting worse and worse. Zian had overestimated the endurance of this body.
Lan Yu and Cui Yu held her down by force. Zi'an looked around at the people present with cold eyes. The poisonous blood rushed again, but she forced herself to hold it back. She said sinisterly: "You'd better pray to God and hope that I die, otherwise if I come back to life, you will be the ones to die."
Xia Wan'er got up and laughed wildly after hearing this. "You've already drunk the poison. Do you still want to live? Don't worry, you will definitely die. The poison is not that strong. You will die immediately. I will make you die in agony."
Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Xia frowned and said to Xia Wan'er, "Don't bother her. Let her die in a dark room. Otherwise, when she is buried, people will see her with wounds all over her body and gossip about her."
"Don't worry, father. I just want to vent your anger. She made you lose face in front of so many people and caused you to offend the Queen and Prince Liang. I just can't swallow this anger."
When Prime Minister Xia heard this, he recalled what happened that day and was really angry. He waved his hand and said ruthlessly: "Go, she should be taught a lesson."
Xia Wan'er smiled sinisterly, "Yes, my daughter knows."
When Zi'an was dragged to the door, Xiaosun was horrified when he saw him being dragged out, and hurried forward: "Miss, what happened?"
"Come on, drag her out as well." Xia Wan'er shouted.
