Although Han Congan was eager to try, Emperor Tianhui didn't allow him to examine immediately. Instead, he asked, "Imperial Physician Gu, have you examined the blood? Is there really poison in it?"
Gu Beiyue was a gentle fox. He was very modest. "Your Majesty, you know that this official isn't an expert in poisons. How about we let Divine Doctor Han take a look? "
As he spoke, he added, "Of course, just to be on the safe side, we can invite a professional poison doctor to examine the blood as well?"
Han Congan firmly believed in his diagnosis and was still full of confidence. "Imperial Physician Gu is right. We really should invite a professional poison doctor to examine the blood."
So speaking, he looked towards Han Yunxi. "Qin Wangfei, don't you think so?"
Han Yunxi nodded, a mocking smile on her lips. She didn't bat an eyelid.
"Someone come, find three poison doctors, immediately!" Emperor Tianhui ordered coldly.
The empress dowager and empress understood the situation as well. They exchanged glances without speaking.
Actually, if this blood wasn't poison but the blood of a fetus, then Han Yunxi and Han Congan wouldn't have an easy time no matter who was right or wrong. After all, would the crown prince still need a doctor when he'd already recovered? Han Congan might be a famous doctor, but he was still a commoner. Han Yunxi might be Qin Wangfei, but that was only an empty title.
Han Congan had been so anxious to prove his diagnosis that he'd forgotten the most important point.
Soon enough, the three poison doctors entered. Emperor Tianhui ordered them to examine the blood on the bed at the same time before reporting the results.
Everyone in the room had their own thoughts as they watched the three poison doctors take the blood for examination. Han Congan's gaze swept over Han Yunxi's medical pouch and Imperial Physician Gu's case, a look of understanding on his face as if he'd really discovered something.
Han Yunxi seemed exhausted as she silently sat down on one side. All right, tired as she was, she was still looking forward to the results.
Soon enough, the three poison doctors came to a conclusion.
"To reply Your Majesty, the blood really is poisonous. It's not a small poison either, but a highly toxic one. But this official is ignorant and doesn't know what kind of poison caused it, "the poison doctor reported.
As soon as he said this, Han Congan, who was full of confidence, was shocked. He said angrily, "Impossible!"
Emperor Tianhui gave him a cold look before Han Congan calmed down. Suppressing his shock and anger, he said respectfully, "Your Majesty, even if the blood is poisonous, there's no way to ascertain whether it was poisoned when it was in His Highness's stomach or after it flowed out."
"Divine Doctor Han, what do you mean by that?" Gu Beiyue, who had always been calm, asked coldly.
Of course, Han Congan suspected Gu Beiyue, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.
"Your Majesty, without sufficient evidence, it's impossible to convince others, let alone determine the truth!" Han Congan reminded.
"If you want to poison him, then you must have an antidote!" Gu Beiyue said.
Emperor Tianhui trusted Gu Beiyue more or less, so he nodded his head. His gaze rested on the nearby pot of decocting medicine.
Gu Beiyue was very indifferent, "Your Majesty, that medicine was brewed by this humble subject, it's not poisonous. But since the poison doctor's here, there's no harm in examining it again. "
Han Yunxi had long taken care of these things, so how could they give themselves away?
Emperor Tianhui was very cautious as he nodded his head. The poison doctor went to examine it again.
Soon enough, he came to a conclusion. "Your Majesty, these are medicinal ingredients that aren't poisonous. There's a wide variety of them, but this official isn't familiar with common medicinal ingredients, so I can't determine the specific ingredients."
Hearing this, Han Congan's face turned three shades paler, while Emperor Tianhui more or less had an idea of what was going on.
"Han Congan, you're proficient in medicinal ingredients. Why don't you take a look at what kind of ingredients they are?" Emperor Tianhui said, his tone cold.
Han Congan refused to believe it. He wanted to ferret out Han Yunxi's little tail. "Yes!"
Thus, Han Congan poured out all the ingredients from the pot and analyzed them one by one. He wrote down all the ingredients he found and turned them into a prescription.
Han Yunxi watched him coldly from beginning to end. She really didn't know why her mother had married a man like this in the first place. How did she take a liking to him?
After a long while, Han Congan finally finished analyzing all the dregs of the ingredients and turned them into a complete prescription.
As long as this prescription was different from the previous one, it was enough to prove that Han Yunxi had tampered with it.
The prescription was handed over to Emperor Tianhui at the same time Gu Beiyue took out the original one for Emperor Tianhui to compare. For a moment, silence filled the room as everyone waited anxiously for the results.
It wasn't clear whether he was affected by the atmosphere, but Han Congan grew nervous as well. His hands were clasped behind his back, his fingers intertwined.
Finally, Emperor Tianhui raised his head to look at Han Congan. For a moment, everyone's hearts skipped a beat. What was the result of the comparison …
Slap!
Suddenly, Emperor Tianhui slammed the table and threw the two prescriptions at Han Congan's face. "What a Divine Doctor Han! Take a look for yourself!" he cried angrily.
Han Congan's face turned white as he picked up the prescription to compare. He discovered that the two prescriptions were actually … actually identical!
Heavens … how could this be?
"No! No! "
Han Congan shook his head. "Your Majesty, it can't be, it can't be! It must have been Han Yunxi who poisoned the child. There has to be dregs of the poison left behind. She must have hidden them! "
Luckily, he'd guessed correctly. Unfortunately, it was already too late.
"Han Congan, what nonsense are you spouting?" the empress on one side finally lost her temper.
The truth was right before their eyes. There was no child in the crown prince's stomach. It was a malignant tumor, but Han Congan still dared to slander the crown prince!
"Esteemed Empress, Han Yunxi must have used poison. There has to be dregs of the poison left behind! You have to believe me! "Han Congan was on the verge of collapse.
He suddenly rushed towards Gu Beiyue's clinic and opened it up to search frantically. But there wasn't even any poison left, much less dregs.
Seeing this, Han Yunxi generously tossed her own medical pouch over. "Divine Doctor Han, take a look at mine as well."
Han Congan took it and rummaged through it until he poured out everything from Han Yunxi's pouch. In a flash, all sorts of acupuncture needles and white gauze littered the ground. Aside from that, there wasn't even any medicine.
Now it wasn't just Han Congan. Emperor Tianhui, the empress dowager, and the empress were all convinced that Han Yunxi was right. They all believed that the crown prince's stomach was a malignant tumor!
Han Congan's hands turned to jelly as he let go of Han Yunxi's medical pouch. His mind buzzed as if something had hit it hard in the head, causing him to feel dizzy. His legs turned to jelly as well!
"It's … it's impossible!"
"How could it be …"
There really wasn't any poison? Han Yunxi's diagnosis was right, but he couldn't have made a mistake. That was a child!
"It's … impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible, I don't believe it!"
… …
As Han Congan spoke, his legs turned to jelly as he fell to the ground.
The iron-clad truth was right in front of his eyes. For a moment, he didn't know how to explain himself. If he was wrong, were the directors of Cloud Realm Medical Academy wrong as well?
This completely overturned his three views, but he had no way to refute them.
He whipped his head towards Han Yunxi and saw Han Yunxi smiling. Suddenly angry, he shouted, "Han Yunxi, tell me why! The crown prince is clearly pregnant, he's clearly pregnant! "
Perhaps he could have said these words before, but now that Emperor Tianhui had completely trusted Han Yunxi, saying them again was … seeking death.
What did it mean to cause trouble with the tongue? This was exactly what it meant to cause trouble with the tongue!
Emperor Tianhui was already angry, but the words only made him even angrier.
He was about to lose his temper when the empress lost her temper and scolded, "Shameful thing, deceiving the world to gain fame and misdiagnosing someone wrongly. You still dare to quibble with irrefutable evidence? How could you diagnose a man giving birth?! Han Congan, if I don't kill you today, I'll be letting down all the grievances my Mo 'er suffered over the past few years! "
Only then did the crazed Han Congan calm down. He couldn't refute a single word, and as soon as he heard the word 'die,' his mind grew even more blank. He didn't know what to do.
Emperor Tianhui's cold eyes flashed with killing intent as he kicked the man. "Han Congan, you still don't know your wrongs at a time like this. You still dare to slander the crown prince! You really have guts to the Heavens! You won't shed tears until you see the coffin! Someone come, take this swindler to the imperial prisons to await trial. Zhen wants to exterminate his three clans! "
Exterminate his three clans?
Han Congan's misdiagnosis of the illness had humiliated the crown prince and affected the imperial family's reputation. Just this crime alone was enough to exterminate his three clans. Moreover, this strange illness had dragged on for so many years, wasting so much of the crown prince's youth.
Exterminating his three clans was letting Han Congan off easy, but these three words were like five bolts of lightning to him!
Han Yunxi, who'd been watching idly from the sidelines, suddenly stiffened as she sat up straight.
Han Congan gave a start before he howled, "Your Majesty, this commoner was wrong, this commoner knows his wrongs! Your Majesty, have mercy! "
"Your Majesty, for the sake of Yunxi saving the crown prince, spare this commoner and the Han Family! Your Majesty! "
"Have mercy! Esteemed Empress Dowager, Esteemed Empress, for the sake of this commoner's many years of hard work and hard work, please spare this commoner this once … "
Han Congan kowtowed with all his might, begging with all his might as he cried to the heavens and the earth. Unfortunately, the retainers quickly came to detain him. Emperor Tianhui's cold face was terrifyingly furious, showing no mercy whatsoever.
At this moment, Han Congan finally remembered that Han Yunxi was still his daughter.
He threw himself at Han Yunxi's feet and cried out, "Yunxi, ah, daughter, you're indebted to the crown prince. Save your father, save the Han Clan's three clans!"
Han Yunxi's eyes narrowed, a complicated look on her face.
Although Han Congan's diagnosis wasn't wrong and his conservative treatment was correct, Han Yunxi wasn't planning to help him.
Leaving aside the young general's matter, Han Yunxi had no reason to save him as a father and even stabbed her in the back. All the sufferings she'd suffered since she was a child were enough to prove that Han Yunxi had no reason to save him.
In her eyes, Han Congan deserved it.
But this matter involved the Han Clan's three clans.
Wiping out three clans meant wiping out the father's, mother's, and wife's clans. There were at least a hundred people in total.
Moreover, she and her mother's clansmen were implicated as well.
What did Emperor Tianhui mean by this?
Han Yunxi ignored Han Congan and hesitated before looking towards Emperor Tianhui. She was about to speak when Emperor Tianhui spoke first. "You've rendered meritorious service by saving Tianmo, so Zhen won't implicate you. But Han Congan's crimes cannot be forgiven. The Han Clan must pay the price!"
Han Yunxi rose to pay her respects, but still opened her mouth to speak. "May Your Majesty please reconsider!"
Although the Han Clan's various wives and concubines, as well as her brothers and sisters, had all abused her, their crimes didn't warrant death. Moreover, there were still many innocent people in the Han Clan's three clans!
Although this matter started because of Han Congan, she couldn't get away from it. She wasn't a saint, but she didn't want to be an executioner. She didn't want to be a great sinner of the Han Clan.
