The changes in the emperor's complexion were all under Bai Song's attention.
Taking injections with the emperor every day, Bai Song could feel that the emperor was getting better day by day.
He is no longer so weak, and the gray spots on his face are fading little by little.
Not only Bai Song, but also the people in the palace and the two princes were aware of it. Only the emperor himself did not feel very deeply.
Another early morning, Bai Song entered the palace as usual, and the second prince stood guard at the entrance of the palace.
Bai Song didn't care when he saw the second prince, but the second prince came up to him with a smile.
"Your Majesty the Envoy."
Bai Song looked at the second prince's expression and was a little surprised. This was the first time that the other prince showed a kind expression.
"What's up?"
Bai Song asked.
The other party smiled and said: "I didn't expect that the envoy is really capable. After these few days of treatment, my father's illness has really improved a lot."
Bai Song didn't respond because he didn't know what the other party had in mind.
After the initial contact, Bai Song felt that the second prince was a typical example of using power to interfere in politics.
Taking advantage of his father's serious illness, he took the imperial power into his hands.
If the emperor's condition improves, he should be very worried. I don't know if the kindness he is showing now is really kindness.
The other party added: "I wonder if the envoy can reveal this method of treatment. Many people in Japan have suffered from similar illnesses to my father. Apart from using pills, there is no other way to prolong their lives."
"I don't have many medicines to treat him. I can only treat the emperor alone. I can't do anything about others."
"Is this so?" The second prince was a little disappointed. He entered the palace through Bai Song and followed him all the way.
Bai Song felt that the second prince was a little strange and seemed to have something to say.
"Second Prince, what exactly do you want to say?"
The second prince looked confused, then suddenly became firm and asked: "From what the envoy has seen, what exactly caused my father to have this disease?"
"..." Bai Song suddenly paused, looked back at the second prince, and asked, "Why do you think I know the cause of the disease?"
"If the cause of the disease is not known, the envoy will not be able to treat it so easily. Also, why did the envoy ask my father to stop taking the elixir?"
The second prince had already asked this question very obviously. Bai Song asked again: "Does the second prince suspect that there is something wrong with the elixir?"
The second prince nodded.
Bai Song asked again: "The second prince doesn't have the answer himself? Besides the people around the emperor, who else can let him take the elixir for a long time?"
"The elixir came from Donghuang Pavilion. The envoy knew from the beginning that it was the elixir that was the problem. He was afraid that no one would believe him if he told it, so he didn't point it out."
The second prince did not admit it, but his words explained everything.
I saw the expression of the second prince gradually becoming serious: "Actually, I have long been suspicious of the elixir in Donghuang Pavilion. My father's body became obviously weak after taking the elixir, but Donghuang Pavilion said that the elixir can help my father change his destiny." Life. The other party is Donghuang Pavilion, and ordinary people cannot question it at all, but now the facts are before their eyes, proving that my father's illness is not incurable, and people have to doubt Donghuang Pavilion."
"The second prince is very courageous. He actually dares to doubt Donghuang Pavilion."
The second prince sneered: "Humph, please don't test me, envoy. This prince has nothing to do with Donghuang Pavilion! In the past, the royal family obeyed the instructions of Donghuang Pavilion. At that time, everything was stable and peaceful. But a few years ago, my father The emperor suddenly wanted to change the Japanese system and let the Japanese people live a better life. From then on, there were more and more gaps between the royal family and Donghuang Pavilion, and there were more and more problems. Later, the emperor's father I became obsessed with longevity and obtained the elixir from Donghuang Pavilion. From then on, my body became thinner and thinner, and I gradually lost interest in managing the government."
"What's the use of telling me this?"
"If the envoy knows the recipe for dissolving the elixir, I hope it can be spread. In addition to my father, there are many people in the world who have taken the elixir from Donghuang Pavilion. In pursuit of immortality, they will get it at all costs. recognition.”
Bai Song understood and nodded: "I know what you are thinking, but I didn't lie. My medicine is limited and I can only save one person. But as long as I save one person, I can prove everything Donghuang Pavilion once said. They are all false. I believe that your father has understood it by now. Now I will tell him that the elixir he took is not a magic medicine, but a poison. I believe he will understand by now."
When the second prince heard this truth, he suddenly became excited: "Others will not be believed if they question Donghuang Pavilion, but if it is the father... As long as the father issues an edict to announce all this, he will definitely break the fabrication of Donghuang Pavilion. lie."
Bai Song thought for a while and felt that things suddenly became clearer.
If the Emperor of Japan could come forward, everything would become much simpler.
Even if it doesn't convince everyone, at least it will wake up some people first.
Once a crack appears on the ice, it will collapse if any external force intervenes.
No matter how sacred the Donghuang Pavilion is, the people will one day become enlightened.
This was an unexpected surprise. Bai Song thought that the second prince might be from Donghuang Pavilion, but now he saw that he was not lying.
Now he has only one goal, which is Donghuang Pavilion.
It's always good to have an extra ally by your side.
The two of them made up their minds and both quickened their pace towards the palace.
As they walked, Bai Song asked, "How is the relationship between the eldest prince and Donghuang Pavilion?"
"Brother, he has no dealings with Donghuang Pavilion. Although we don't get along, we are both royal families and will not have much involvement with Donghuang Pavilion."
"That's good. As long as the royal family can concentrate its efforts to deal with the outside world, our chances will be greater."
The two stopped talking. When they arrived at the door of the emperor's palace, Bai Song shouted outside as usual: "Bai Song, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, is here to treat the emperor."
Normally, a fair-faced boy like a father-in-law would come out at this time and invite Bai Song in.
Today, no one has come out.
The two of them waited at the door for a long time. The second prince couldn't wait any longer and shouted from outside: "Father."
Still no reply.
The two looked at each other, and the second prince wanted to go in and take a look. Bai Song suddenly reached out and pulled the second prince.
"What?" The second prince was puzzled.
"Shh..." Bai Song made a silent gesture, then closed his eyes, and his perception quickly expanded.
It didn't matter this time. Bai Song felt that there were at least a hundred guards hiding somewhere out of sight, seemingly waiting for the two of them to enter.
For a moment, many scenes from TV series appeared in Bai Song's mind, and he felt a sense of uncertainty in his heart.
"You can't go in." Bai Song said solemnly.
"Why?" the second prince asked.
"I'm afraid the emperor has...died inside."
"What?"
"There is an ambush nearby, and it seems that they are waiting for us to enter so that everyone can get the stolen goods. So we leave quickly, we can't go here."
