In the Prince of Wei's residence.
Li Er's cold snort was filled with murderous intent. At this moment, he was willing to become a tyrant for his beloved son!
The imperial physicians were dragged out of their beds. They were still full of resentment, but Li Er's words made everyone shudder. They quickly perked up and went in to see the doctor!
"Your Majesty …"
At this moment, Zhao Song appeared out of nowhere. He went to Li Er's side and called out softly.
Li Er nodded, and the two of them went to another side room.
"Have you found out? Was there anyone who poisoned him? "
Li Er put his hands behind his back and asked with murderous intent.
Zhao Song bowed and said, "Your Majesty, before you came, this old servant, along with Imperial Physician Wang and Imperial Physician Qin, inspected the food that Prince of Wei had for dinner. We did not find any abnormalities. We also checked the water source of the Prince of Wei's residence. We did not find any abnormalities!"
Li Er frowned and said unhappily, "Why would the green sparrow suddenly have cholera when it was perfectly fine ~?"
Zhao Song continued, "Your Majesty, I heard from the servant who went out with Prince of Wei that Prince of Wei, Zhangsun Chong, Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baolin, and the rest felt thirsty after playing football outside Plum Village. They drank from the Ba River beside Plum Village. I think the problem should be there!"
Li Er said in disbelief, "Then why was Qing Que the only one …"
Knock, knock, knock!
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, followed by Dugu Xin's hurried voice. "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
Li Er could only wave his sleeves and say, "Come in!"
With a creak, Dugu Xin squeezed in from outside the door. Without waiting for Li Er to ask, Dugu Xin cupped his fists and said anxiously,
"Your Majesty, this general has just received news that the young masters of the Cheng Clan, Yuchi Clan, Zhangsun Clan, and Sun Clan have all fallen seriously ill. Their illnesses are very similar to Prince Wei's. Now, the state dukes and Sun Shaoqing are all looking for imperial physicians to treat their young masters!"
Li Er's expression changed. What he said really came true!
The current situation was obviously because the water in the Ba River was not clean, causing Li Tai and the rest to suffer from cholera at the same time!
The situation had already escalated, and the situation had become even more severe!
Li Er furrowed his brows and didn't say a word. At this time, the sound of a few people talking came from outside the room. Li Er flicked his sleeves and went out. He saw the imperial physicians standing in the courtyard, as if they were discussing something.
"Do the imperial physicians have a way to cure Qingque ~?"
Li Erlong walked over with large strides and asked straightforwardly.
The imperial physicians who had been discussing among themselves immediately lowered their heads. The entire courtyard was silent!
Li Er's face was getting darker and darker. He was about to explode when an old man walked out from the crowd. It was Dr. Qin from the Imperial Medical Department, who had accompanied Li Zexuan to attack Snake Spirit Mountain and tested the poison with his own body!
"Your Majesty, according to our joint diagnosis, His Royal Highness Duke of Wei's illness is cholera. It comes with a ferocious momentum and can empty a person's body in an extremely short period of time. According to the ancient books, there is no effective treatment method, so we are not confident that we can cure His Royal Highness Duke of Wei! All I can do is try my best to delay the onset of His Highness King Wei's illness so that His Highness King Wei can hold on for another two days. Please forgive me, Your Majesty! "
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
All the imperial physicians cast a grateful look at Dr. Qin and then bowed to Li Er.
Li Er's eyes were cold and said coldly: "Imperial Physician Qin, is there really no way? There are still good elixirs in the palace's warehouse. Zhen allows you to take them as you wish. As long as you can cure Qingque, zhen will give you whatever you want! "
Dr. Qin shook his head expressionlessly and said: "His Highness's illness is not something that can be cured with medicine. Forgive me for being powerless!"
"You!"
Li Er was furious, and his eyes revealed a bloodthirsty light.
"Your Majesty, please calm down!"
At this critical moment, Empress Zhangsun came out of the house. In less than an hour, Zhangsun's face seemed to have aged a few years. She looked even more haggard. The tears on her face had not dried yet, and her eyes were red. God knows what kind of rough journey she had experienced during this period of time? When Li Er saw this, he couldn't help but feel pain in his heart. This woman was the devil of his life!
"Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Qin and the others have done their best. Please don't punish them!"
Empress Zhangsun took her husband's hand and said softly.
Li Er didn't say a word, he just nodded his head silently.
In fact, how could he not understand that the chances of Li Tai's illness being cured were very small. So, he was just angry because he couldn't do anything!
He was a dignified emperor, in charge of the fate of millions of people, but in the end, he couldn't save his son. How sad!
"Imperial Physician Qin, I will leave Qingque to you. You just do your best. If you can save him, that's the best. If you can't save him, this empress will not blame you!"
Empress Zhangsun looked at Dr. Qin and said in a kind tone. But when she said the last few words, her heart instantly collapsed, but she forced herself not to cry out!
Dr. Qin had lived for a long time. He had already seen too much of the world. So, how could he not hear that Empress Zhangsun was pretending to be kind? They all said that doctors have the heart of a parent. This kind of scene, he also felt uncomfortable!
"Your Highness, don't worry. This old man will do his best to save Prince Wei!"
Dr. Qin solemnly cupped his hands, then picked up the medicine box and walked with Dr. Wang to Li Tai's room!
"Your Majesty …"
Dugu Xin wanted to say something but stopped. Li Er understood what he wanted to say and said, "Immediately choose eight imperial physicians and escort them to Wuji, Zhijie, Jingde, and Sun Fujia's houses!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Immediately order the county magistrates to send out bailiffs and prohibit the people from drinking the water of Ba River!"
Li Er added another sentence.
Now that things had developed to this point, it was no longer his family's matter. As an emperor, he could occasionally be emotional, but most of the time, he had to maintain his rationality!
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Dugu Xin received the order and left. After a while, another soldier came to report, "Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince, Princess Changle, and His Highness the King of Han request an audience!"
Hearing this, Li Er's heart finally warmed a little. He nodded and said, "Let them all in! It's good to see Qingque! "
…
As Li Er expected, the current situation had rapidly deteriorated and was becoming more and more intense. The houses of the Cheng, Zhangsun, Yuchi, and Sun families were all brightly lit tonight. The madams of the four families shed countless tears. Chang 'an City at night suddenly had a trace of solemnity.
What was more serious was that outside Chang 'an City, many people were suffering tonight. Unfortunately, the number of people infected with cholera was increasing!
