Eldest Brother Yan approached the old Emperor’s dragon couch and said faintly, “Father, you have to take it easy. I’ve brought Prince Luoyang here, but we don’t have the antidote yet. Don’t die before he hands over the antidote.”
The old Emperor panted heavily and looked at Eldest Brother Yan with widened eyes.
He was sure this unfilial son was doing this on purpose. He wanted to send the imperial physicians away before dealing with him, right?
He gritted his teeth and said, “It won’t do you any good if I die!”
“I know. That’s why I brought Prince Luoyang here. He’s waiting for you outside. Father, do you still want to et your good son?” Eldest Brother Yan teased.
“You—”
The old Emperor was furious. If he had the strength now, he would definitely teach the Third Prince a lesson.
However, he was useless now. The poison in his body had tortured him. “Let him in. Let him in. Bring him in to imdiately. I want to see him!”
He believed that Master Shao had handed the antidote to Prince Luoyang. He must have the antidote with him.
“Alright, Father. Don’t be agitated. I’ll send soone to escort Prince Luoyang in.” Eldest Brother Yan turned around and ordered soone to escort him in.
Prince Luoyang was still injured. He wanted to escape, but he could not escape from the Third Prince. He had tried to jump out of the carriage and even injured himself, but he could not escape.
“Uncle… Uncle, I… I don’t know anything. I really don’t know what Grandfather did.”
Upon arriving at the imperial study, Prince Luoyang quickly defended himself before the old Emperor could speak. He thought it would be fine as long as he pretended not to know anything.
The old Emperor used to dote on him so much. He wouldn’t kill him on account of his mother, right?
At most, he would be sent to so desolate land and never be allowed to return to the capital. He still had a chance. As long as he was alive, he could start over.
He did not believe he could not defeat the Third Prince.
“The antidote? Where’s the antidote?”
How could the old Emperor be bothered to care if he was innocent?
He struggled to get up from the couch and staggered to Prince Luoyang with his remaining strength. He grabbed Prince Luoyang’s collar weakly and questioned him in a hoarse voice.
“Antidote? What antidote?”
Prince Luoyang was flustered. How would he know about the antidote?
He suddenly rembered that the Third Prince had ntioned that Master Shao had poisoned the old Emperor. Was the old Emperor asking him about the antidote for the poison?
However, he did not have the antidote. Although Master Shao was his grandfather, he had not learned any of the Shao family’s poison techniques.
He was even afraid that the poison would harm his body. Every ti Master Shao told him to bring so life-saving poison, he would reject it.
What if the poison did not save his life and killed him instead?
Hence, he avoided touching the Shao family’s poison whenever possible. His mother doted on him and would not force him to do anything he did not want to do.
“You—”
The old Emperor was furious when he saw that he did not seem to know.
