Chapter 622 Do you believe me?

Sun Yaoxian's face turned pale in an instant. He didn't speak for a long time. Seeing Sun Zhongyuan was about to walk out of the room, he finally couldn't help but say, "Yuan'er, if your mother is still alive, she won't want to see you take risks for her." of!"

Sun Zhongyuan didn't turn his head back, and his voice carried some inexplicable resentment, "But as a son, I should do this for my mother. My mother can't die in vain, and I can't die like this for no reason. I can't let anyone who hurt her die." People have been getting away with it all the time, living their lives in style. Since my mother has been turned into ashes in the field, that person can't be prosperous and rich, and want to be honored."

After all, Sun Yaoxian did not let anyone catch Sun Zhongyuan, just as he himself said, if he is not allowed to enter the palace today, he will live in remorse and regret for the rest of his life.

When Sun Zhongyuan entered the palace, he found Li Chengqi directly.

Li Chengqi spent the whole night last night, his eyes were deeply blue and black, it was just dawn at this time, and those important courtiers were already waiting outside the imperial study, wanting to know the emperor's condition at the moment.

Li Chengqi didn't see anyone at first, but Sun Zhongyuan was his close friend, and he really wanted to talk to someone, so he let him into the imperial study.

"Your Highness, how is Your Majesty doing?" Sun Zhongyuan asked aloud as soon as he saw Li Chengqi.

Li Chengqi smiled wryly, shook his head and said, "It's not good, I've been in a coma for a long time, and it's very difficult to feed and water. The imperial doctor said... I can last for another three days at most."

Sun Zhongyuan was silent for a moment, then asked Li Chengqi in a low voice: "Chengqi, can I choose to trust you?"

Li Chengqi was stunned for a moment, and he heard the unusualness in Sun Zhongyuan's words. He immediately turned away the maids around him, looked him in the eyes and replied: "A Yuan, you and I are cousins. We have been together since we were young. You should know what kind of person you are, but you can choose to believe me!"

Sun Zhongyuan took a deep breath, slowly took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, looked at Li Chengqi and said, "Your Highness, the medicine in this bottle can save your Majesty's life!"

Hearing this, Li Chengqi's eyes changed instantly. He stared closely at the porcelain bottle in Sun Zhongyuan's hand, and his breathing was slightly constricted. After a while, he seemed to calm down, stood up from the chair suddenly, and stared at Sun Zhongyuan with burning eyes. Said: "Ah Yuan, who gave you this thing?"

Sun Zhongyuan hesitated for a moment, shook his head and replied: "Your Highness, forgive me, I promised that person, I can't tell him."

Li Chengqi suddenly smiled in relief, and said slowly: "A Yuan, even if you don't tell me, I know who it is. I'm just a little surprised how he got the antidote."

Sun Zhongyuan kept his mouth shut and said nothing. In fact, he also had doubts about this, but he believed that Jiang Shanqing had his own way, and he would never be a little sloppy in such matters.

"Forget it...you believe him, and I believe him too, what a pity..." Li Chengqi shook his head with a smile, and couldn't help but sigh again.

He walked up to Sun Zhongyuan, took the porcelain vase from his hand, pulled him and said, "You go with me to the emperor's bedroom."

The two hurried to Qianhe Palace.At this time, Imperial Physician Xu and others were still guarding inside, and when they brought Li Chengqi over, they all bowed down to salute.

"Doctor Xu doesn't need to be too polite. Come here and see if this medicine has any effect on your father's illness?" Li Chengqi handed the porcelain bottle to Imperial Physician Xu and asked in a warm voice.

Doctor Xu showed surprise on his face, but still respectfully took the porcelain bottle and poured out the pills inside.

He first sniffed the tip of his nose carefully, then scraped it off with his fingernails, tasted it with his tongue, and then expressed doubts: "Your Highness, this subordinate is ignorant, and I can only see that this medicine should not be harmful to the human body. As for whether it can cure His Majesty's illness, this subordinate cannot say for sure."

Li Chengqi thought for a while, then said with a firm expression: "Since it is not harmful to people, then you can give it to the father, anyway, there is no other way now."

Dr. Xu was pinching the pill in his hand, but he was still a little hesitant. He hesitated again and again, and asked, "May I ask Your Highness, where did you get this medicine?"

Li Chengqi smiled meaningfully, but did not reply.

Xu Yizheng also knew that he was talking too much, but he was too curious. He probably guessed that the one brought by the crown prince should be the antidote to the poison His Majesty suffered from, but where did he get the antidote from?

Xu doctor was just getting someone to bring a bowl of clear water, melted the pills in the water, and was about to pour the emperor slowly with a reed stalk, when there was a buzzing sound from outside.

"The empress is here~~~" Doctor Xu's hand holding the bowl shook instantly, and the potion in the bowl almost spilled out.

Li Chengqi and Sun Zhongyuan also changed their expressions, and looked towards the door at the same time.

Empress Song brought a group of maids into the bedroom. Today she was wearing a dark purple dress with a phoenix embroidered with silver thread. She looked imposing.

She walked unhurriedly, first glanced at everyone in the hall, then fixed her eyes on Sun Zhongyuan's face, and asked sharply: "Prince, didn't I tell you that your father is in danger now, don't let idlers wait approach him?"

Li Chengqi frowned slightly, and immediately explained: "Mother, A Yuan is the nephew of the father and the cousin of the son, not the idler you mentioned."

Empress Song didn't expect Li Chengqi to refute her words, her face instantly became very ugly, she took a deep breath, and did not continue to argue with Li Chengqi, but looked at the old emperor on the bed again.

Her attention was quickly attracted by the soup in Xu Yizheng's hands, she frowned, and asked, "Xu Yizheng, what medicine are you going to feed His Majesty?"

Doctor Xu's face turned pale, and before he had time to reply, Li Chengqi replied for him first: "Mother, this is the antidote my son found, and it may be good for the poison on the emperor's body."

When Empress Song heard this, her face became even more ugly, and she immediately reprimanded, "Nonsense! Your father looks like this now, and you still find these messy things to mess around with. If your father took the medicine you found, it's really What's going on, how are you going to explain to those courtiers, do you want to bear a bad reputation?"

Li Chengqi's expression also turned cold. He looked at Queen Song and asked word by word: "Queen Mother, do you think I will harm Emperor Father?"

He seemed to feel that his tone was too harsh, so he softened a little and continued, "I have already had this medicine tested by Mrs. Xu. Even if it can't cure the poison of the father, it won't make the situation worse. If it can really cure His Majesty poison, isn’t that a surprise?”

When he said these words, he kept looking at the expression on Empress Song's face, and suddenly asked, "Or... Empress Mother, you don't want Emperor Father's poison to be cured sooner?"
