Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 973 Damn it, no one can escape

At this time, Lan Lingling's face was already ashen and lifeless, as if her life was not long and she would take her last breath at any time.

Changsun Tao asked Lu Xi: "Is it completely hopeless?"

Lu Xi said: "She seems to have given her life-saving things to His Majesty, but after all, the foundation of her skills over the years is still there. It is not completely hopeless, but there are risks."

Changsun Tao frowned: "What risk?"

Lu Xi hesitated for a moment and said, "You can fight poison with poison to temporarily protect her heart, but if the poison is not mastered well, she will die immediately."

"It's safe to have Mr. Baili do this, but I don't know if Miss Lingling can survive until Mr. Baili arrives."

Changsun Tao said: "It's too late, bring me a clean knife and a cup."

Lu Xi was shocked: "Your Highness, are you trying to..."

Changsun Tao said categorically: "Do as you say."

The men of the eldest grandson's family are all infatuated once they fall in love. From the founding emperor to the ancestor, and counting the emperors and relatives of the past dynasties, many people have fallen into this word "love".

If Miss Lingling can't be saved, I'm afraid His Majesty won't survive either!
When he thought of the scene in the kitchen just now, with the big pot that had just been heated and the steamer that could hold a person, Chang Sun Tao knew it well——

The person who is causing trouble behind the scenes wants to steam Miss Lingling alive.

It's no wonder His Majesty is so angry with such a heinous and vicious method. If it were him, he would be able to do a bloodbath in the palace.

However, why are the people in the kitchen so careless? Even if they steam their breakfast as usual every day, they should not even open the steamer lid to check and just light the fire to cook. Perhaps the person who lit the fire was simply inserted/in spy.

Changsun Tao suppressed the anger surging in his heart, took the knife and cup from Lu Xi, and began to bleed.

Lu Xi hurriedly advised: "Your Highness, if it doesn't work, you will be responsible for the death of Miss Lingling."

Changsun Tao did not hesitate, cut his finger and put the blood into the cup: "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

He knew what Lu Xi was referring to. This matter was probably Wu Ti's handiwork. Maybe Wu Ti deliberately made Miss Lingling like this and forced him to rescue her. If anything happened to Miss Lingling, he could do it. Put the blame on him.

But Changsun Tao didn't think so, because Wu Ti probably didn't even think about it, and His Majesty was not poisoned to death at all.

How could a vicious person like him believe that there could be true love in this world that would sacrifice one's life for others?
He must have been unexpected when Miss Lingling gave the life-saving thing to Emperor Yuanwu, so he definitely had no time to prepare for the next incident.

It was precisely because of this that Changsun Tao had no scruples.

Lu Xi was very worried. His Majesty found Miss Lingling in the steamer, which was probably done intentionally by Wu Ti. The purpose was to prevent His Majesty from dying and give him a dose of strong medicine.

Anyone who touches Miss Lingling at this time is equivalent to hanging a knife around his neck. How dangerous!

But Lu Xi did not dare to say more, because at this moment, King Qi seemed to have no fear of the possible consequences in his eyes, only pity for human life.

Without saying a word, she gently fed Chang Sun Tao's detoxifying blood into Lan Lingling's mouth.

Feeling Lan Lingling's increasingly strong pulse, Lu Xi breathed a sigh of relief and told Chang Sun Tao: "Your Majesty, Miss Lingling is fine for the time being, but she must detoxify as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

It seems that Wu Ti did not have time to think of a backup plan, and the poison in Lingling girl was temporarily suppressed.

He just put Miss Lingling into the steamer and wanted her to be steamed to death. Why on earth was this?
Is it a bad idea, or is it just a desire to make things bigger?

Or, there is a deeper purpose.

Changsun Tao's face was slightly relaxed, and he said: "Steady Miss Lingling's heart and wait for Mr. Baili to arrive."

The imperial doctor quickly prepared medicine for Emperor Yuanwu to regulate his body. In order to make Emperor Yuanwu take it, the imperial doctor used silver needles to relieve his weak points.

Emperor Yuanwu suddenly opened his eyes, which were bloodshot. He spoke with a hoarse and weak voice: "Zhizhi?"

Changsun Tao took the medicine bowl from the imperial doctor's hand and said comfortingly: "Your Majesty, Miss Lingling's pulse condition has stabilized. There is no need to worry. Drink the medicine first."

Emperor Yuanwu took the medicine bowl and drank it all. He looked through the curtain to the small couch not far away, reluctant to look away.

But that body was clearly shaking, like fallen leaves in the autumn wind.

There was a trace of pity in Changsun Tao's eyes, and he ordered: "Everyone go out and let your Majesty be quiet for a while."

Lu Xi and Ling drove the imperial doctor outside and personally guarded the door. Emperor Yuanwu and Changsun Tao were the only ones left in the room.

When there was no need to show off his strength and maintain the dignity of the monarch, Emperor Yuanwu suddenly held Changsun Tao's arm and cried loudly: "Uncle Emperor..." Changsun Tao did not speak, sitting upright on the edge of the couch, like a strong tree. The tree was left to the collapsed Emperor Yuanwu to rely on.

Emperor Yuanwu cried so hard that he was out of breath: "Uncle, my mother...she personally forced me to drink poison. I am her biological flesh and blood. How could she force me like this?"

The young emperor's sorrow was undisguised. He tightly grasped Chang Sun Tao's arm, like a drowning man grasping the last straw.

At this moment, there is no distinction between monarch and minister, there is only the attachment of a junior to his elders.

He is just an injured child, crying to his relatives about his experience.

"Uncle Emperor, Lingling gave me life-saving things. Without the things she gave me, I would have been dead by now!"

"My mother looked down upon Lingling and despised her as an uncivilized southern barbarian. However, the people she looked down upon could risk their lives for me, but my biological mother pushed me to death and cut off all my options. "

"She is my queen mother...why? Why?"

"I didn't care about this emperor at first. When I challenged my eldest brother, it was just because I was young and frivolous and competitive, not because I wanted to sit in this position!"

"I am not made to be an emperor at all! I am still unable to take charge of my role on my own. Nothing in the previous dynasty and harem can be done well. I have to rely on the help of Feng Xiang in everything. From time to time, I have to ask the emperor's uncle and Ming Yong to deal with the aftermath."

"I work very hard and seriously to be the emperor, for fear of destroying the foundation of my ancestors. But no matter how serious I am, I still can't avoid the calculations of my loved ones."

Emperor Yuanwu spoke incoherently and cried profusely. His nose and tears were completely smeared on Changsun Tao's sleeves.

Changsun Tao didn't even frown, he just let Emperor Yuanwu wet his sleeves with tears, and then he comforted him: "Cer, thank you for your hard work."

Emperor Yuanwu lay on Changsun Tao's arm and kept crying. It is said that men don't shed tears easily, but it's just that they haven't reached the point of sadness. Emperor Yuanwu was poisoned by his biological mother and almost lost his beloved girl. He was completely heartbroken. Broken.

Changsun Tao spoke softly and slowly recounted similar experiences: "Your Majesty, before the late emperor ascended the throne, the late queen mother personally sent a bowl of poison for me to drink."

"Fortunately, when Yi Yonghou's old friend rescued the princess, he took the opportunity to detoxify me, and I was able to save my life. However, because the remaining poison was not cleared away, I suffered from thousands of arrows piercing my heart for more than ten years."

"The seawater poured into Yangzhou, and I was dying of poison. It was the princess who gave her own life in exchange for my chance to survive."

"Your Majesty, haven't you always been curious about how I knew Miss Lingling? That's because after the princess detoxified me, I was lucky enough to be saved by the heirloom of Prince Xingyang's Yan Gu."

"So I, Mr. Baili and King Xingyang went south to look for the female voodoo. It was Miss Lingling who practiced the female voodoo and saved the princess's life."

"I have experienced what your Majesty has experienced. I feel the same pain as your Majesty's heart. However, it is a blessing in disguise. Your Majesty has lost something important and gained another important person."

"In this world, people who are close to each other because of interests will turn against each other. It is a blessing to have someone who treats you sincerely. In this way, Your Majesty is still a lucky man."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to feel sad. In the previous dynasty, I was a minister you could command at any time. In private, I am your relative. As long as Your Majesty needs me, I will always be there."

Emperor Yuanwu burst into tears: "Uncle, I know that the art of an emperor lies in ruthlessness, and I also know that the relationship between monarch and ministers is about checks and balances. No matter what, you are my uncle, the one who protects me."

"Uncle, you don't know how lucky I am at this moment. I'm glad that I have always trusted my uncle. Otherwise, I would have been left alone..."

Changsun Tao handed him a handkerchief and said: "The clan members should be waiting at Chengming Hall. It is up to Your Majesty to decide how to deal with it. I support Your Majesty unconditionally."

"As for Miss Lingling, I have asked Lu Xing to invite Mr. Baili and Princess. With their presence, they will ensure that Miss Lingling is safe and sound. Your Majesty does not have to worry."

Emperor Yuanwu wiped away his cold tears and said sincerely: "Thank you, uncle, for everything you have done."

Including leaving the Queen Mother's mistakes to him to decide for himself, including saving Zhizhi's life, including forgiving him for his mistake in arresting Xiao Qian, and including standing up at this most needed moment.

At least, it made him feel that he was not alone and had relatives he could rely on.

After Emperor Yuanwu cried wantonly, he did not remain weak. He dragged his weak body to stand up and looked at his respected uncle.

"Uncle Emperor, please put on my clothes and go to Chengming Hall with me. There are many things to deal with next. If I can't bear it, I hope that Uncle Emperor will lend me his shoulder again."

This dragon robe and this identity made him breathless, and even his weakness felt like a blasphemy against himself.

Emperor Yuanwu put on the clothes that he had put on his body, and his red eyes showed a firm gaze. The panicked young man just now was locked deep in his heart by him.

Although there are weaknesses in his heart, he also has strong armor, which is his responsibility as a king and the armor he should have as an emperor. These armors can gradually make him indestructible.

He said: "Damn it, no one can escape."
