"Hey..." Liu Xingyuan looked at the prescription in his mother's hand and sighed, "That's all we can do now, maybe there is a glimmer of hope."

After Dr. Wang packed up the medicine box, he picked up the medicine box and handed it to everyone present: "Everyone, I will take my leave first. If you have any other instructions, feel free to send them. Take your leave..."

Seeing the situation, Liu Yan wanted to get out quickly, so he pretended to be serious and said, "Then I will send Doctor Wang to you."

Liu Yan and Doctor Wang walked out of the room one after another. Seeing the serious faces of the two of them, the family members outside the door did not dare to ask any more questions, but bowed and saluted. Liu Yan walked in front of Imperial Physician Wang and respectfully led the way. This made Imperial Physician Wang feel flattered and he nodded and bowed. The two of them turned around the rockery. Liu Yan saw that there was no one else around him and there was no other sound around, so he took Imperial Physician Wang's wrist and hid in a remote part of the rockery, and then moved his eyes around to see if there was anyone else around.

Doctor Wang looked at the prince in confusion and asked, "What do you mean by this, Your Highness?"

After Liu Yan once again confirmed that there was no one around, he thought that everyone in the palace should be focusing on Liu Xun at this time, so he asked in a low voice without any scruples: "How is the prince's situation?"

Doctor Wang seemed to have read the prince's thoughts, but he still answered truthfully and without hesitation: "The prince's condition can only be left to fate now. Whether he can survive depends on whether the prince can survive tonight. "

Liu Yan had mixed feelings after hearing this. The most worrying thing was that someone was really looking for a reason to poison him, especially Grandpa Huang. Liu Yan was thinking as he and Doctor Wang arrived at the gate of Prince Ning's Mansion. They met Butler Qin anxiously wandering at the gate of the mansion. Butler Qin saw the prince coming out and hurried forward to greet him.

Seeing that the prince's steward's face turned red and his brows furrowed, Doctor Wang knew that he had something urgent to do to see the prince, so he hurriedly resigned.

Butler Qin saw that Doctor Wang had gone away, so he led the prince to the prince's car under the archway.

Liu Yan said impatiently: "What's the matter with being so sneaky?"

Butler Qin stepped forward and whispered: "Gao Han hanged himself in prison!"

Liu Yan turned around in surprise, "Is it absolutely true?"

"Our people just sent the news that Gao Han hanged himself during the ugly scene last night."

"Chou Shi?" Liu Yan said angrily, "Chou Shi died, why are you reporting now!"

"The guard's negligence last night still failed to prevent it. Now the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion is in chaos. At this time, the court officials in Xuanzheng Hall are waiting for you to come to take charge of the overall situation!"

"Zhao Shanqian, this good-for-nothing, can't even watch a prisoner." Liu Yan muttered and stamped his feet before getting on the carriage.

The early morning when the heavy snow stopped was particularly cold. The Xuanzheng Hall, located at the center of the palace, was already full of courtiers, and everyone was talking about the strange events of the past two days.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived..."

The Xuanzheng Hall suddenly became silent, and everyone began to salute respectfully.

The prince stood in the palace with an angry look on his face, stretched out his hand to show off his courtesy, and then continued: "Where is the prince of Jingzhao?"

Zhao Shanqian came out of the imperial squad cautiously, knocked on the ground and said: "I'm here..."

"Did you know that Gao Han hanged himself in prison last night?" Liu Yan blamed him.

"This..." After Zhao Shanqian was speechless for a moment, he seemed to have already thought about how to deal with it, "I only found out this morning and am preparing to report to you."

"You still have the nerve to say that you can't stand a single prisoner. As a parent official in Kyoto, you cannot absolve yourself of the blame..."

“Your Highness!”

Quan Shidao, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, also agreed: "Master Zhao has fulfilled his duties, but it was just a moment of negligence on the part of his subordinates."

Liu Yan just woke up at this moment. Xun Mou and Quan Shidao were clearly reminding him that Zhao Shanqian was one of their own. Since the goal had been achieved, there was no need to pursue others. Only then did Liu Yan realize that he had spoken hurriedly, but he couldn't say anything, so he had to He said: "Hmm... However, Mr. Zhao's subordinates were negligent in their management and were fully responsible. He was ordered to pay half a year's salary and all the jailers who were guarding him were dismissed from their posts."

After Zhao Shanqian heard this, he immediately kowtowed again and said, "I will take the blame." Then he added, "Gao Han died. Marshal Gao asked if his brother's body could be recovered."

Liu Yan hesitated for a moment, and also thought about giving Gao Jun a step forward and doing this favor. However, when he thought about the two brothers joining forces to deceive him, he became angry again. Now that his brother had been eliminated, he would have to do it again. He gave him a warning and replied: "No, Gao Han's crimes are so heinous that he ordered someone to hang his body above the west gate tower of the city for three days as a warning to the people in the court, so that justice can be done to the people of the world."

After saying this, there was a lot of discussion in the court. The prince's confidants all claimed to agree, but the opponents did not dare to speak. After all, too many things happened last night, and everyone could not care about the Gao family's affairs for a while. Now even Prince Ning, who was against the prince, was poisoned. Who dared to stand up and say no?

Liu Yan was very proud to see that there were no disobedient ministers in the hall. When he saw that Gao Jun and Lu Zuo were missing, he asked sternly: "Why don't you see Gao Jun and Lu Zuo?"

Quan Shidao continued to answer: "Marshal Gao is newly mourning and I would like to inform you. Mr. Lu is ill and I would like to inform you. It has been ten months."

"Are you sick? What's wrong with Master Lu?"

"Um...it's an old illness."

Liu Yan suddenly had a plan in mind. After all, he hadn't visited Lu Zuo for a long time. He could take this opportunity to test it out and ask for directions. He just happened to take advantage of King Ning's poisoning to find a way to cure Lu Zuo.

After the morning court ended, Liu Yan took a carriage and went straight to Lu Zuo's mansion.

Lao Pan, the steward of the Lu Mansion, did not inform the prince and went straight to the mansion to invite the prince.

An Jingruo and his maid Hanxiang were the first to greet the princess in front of the Nuan Pavilion. Liu Yan also greeted the princess with a very polite greeting. Seeing that the princess had a sad face, he didn't ask anyone else. He just asked: "Is Mr. Lu okay?"

"Hey..." An Jingruo sighed softly, "The condition keeps coming back and forth, but it never gets better!" After saying that, he covered his face and wiped away tears.

Liu Yan comforted him: "Princess, you don't have to worry too much. I've long heard that Mr. Lu had extraordinary powers in the past, and he still has some good health. I believe this injury won't trouble him."

"My wife and I are very grateful for your concern, Your Highness."

"You're welcome." Liu Yan said with a half-smile, "Mr. Lu is a meritorious official of our court. Today, I came here to visit you. Firstly, I want to see how Mr. Lu is doing. Secondly, I want to choose a doctor for Mr. Lu." A famous doctor is here for diagnosis and treatment. I know many famous doctors in Beijing, and I hope that I can be of some help to Mr. Lu."

"Then let me thank His Highness the Crown Prince on behalf of my husband's family first."

So An Jingruo didn't hold back and led the prince to see Lu Zuo in front of the bed.

When Liu Yan came to Lu Zuo's bed, he saw that Lu Zuo's eyes were white, his mouth was drooling, and his hands were shaking uncontrollably while holding the quilt.
