This kid really did not possess any antidotes. He was not pretending. Hence, finding Master Shao was the final choice.
He pushed Prince Luoyang away, stumbling backwards because he used too much strength. He landed hard on the ground, but he did not care. He looked up at the Third Prince.
“Yan’er, where’s Master Shao? Where’s Master Shao? Bring him here!”
Eldest Brother Yan held his chin with one hand and teased, “Master Shao? Prince Zhan Yun took him away.”
He knew that the old Emperor would definitely retreat immediately if he mentioned Qian Jiyun. After all, Qian Jiyun had ruined everything for him.
As expected, the old Emperor’s expression darkened when he heard that Qian Jiyun had Master Shao.
He panted heavily and almost died right there and then.
Qian Jiyun? Qian Jiyun again? Why was he so persistent? If he had known that Qian Jiyun would cause him so much trouble, he would not have given him a chance to make a name for himself.
However, money could not buy precognition. Things had already turned out like this. There was no point in regretting it.
“Where’s the old Princess Consort? Where is she?”
He did not want to see Qian Jiyun and suddenly thought of Prince Luoyang’s mother.
She was a member of the Luoyang-Shao family and had been exposed to poison since she was young. She had used her poison techniques to resolve many problems for herself over the years.
She would have the antidote, right? Even if she did not, she could refine an antidote to detoxify him.
“Yan’er, go. Bring the old Princess Consort to me now. She must have the antidote.”
Eldest Brother Yan raised his eyebrows.
He could still think of the old Princess Consort at this time? But why didn’t he consider the old Princess Consort’s involvement in Master Shao’s poisoning of him?
The old Princess Consort must have wanted him dead long ago so that he could vacate the throne for her son.
Only the old Emperor could not understand why a woman would bear a son for the old Emperor at the expense of her reputation.
Which member of the Luoyang-Shao family was simple-minded?
“Father, the old Princess Consort was furious when she found out what Prince Luoyang and Master Shao had done. She’s already on the verge of collapse,” he said calmly.
Would he still keep the old Princess Consort alive? The old Princess Consort’s fate had already been decided when he captured Prince Luoyang.
“What nonsense are you talking about? What Grandfather did has nothing to do with me. Uncle, don’t listen to him. I really don’t know anything.”
When Prince Luoyang heard Eldest Brother Yan’s words, his first thought was not to seek justice for his mother but to clear his name.
Everyone else was like an outsider to him. What did the lives of others have to do with him?
As long as he was alive, he could avenge his mother and grandfather. Of course, this was on the premise that he was still alive and not killed by these people.
The old Emperor was in no mood to care about Prince Luoyang. Instead, he yelled at Eldest Brother Yan, “You unfilial son!”
The old Princess Consort was his only hope. If she died, did that mean he had to see Qian Jiyun?
There was nothing Qian Jiyun could not do. He would have to pay the price if he wanted to obtain the antidote from Qian Jiyun, but he refused to write the abdication edict!
