Chapter 1929 - 388: Unveiling the Truth
Because the Imperial Physician has made it very clear that the Emperor's illness is a congenital heart disease and difficult to cure.
The Emperor of Tianmeng Country also looked surprised.
He knew his condition best, it was not like poisoning, and no damage was found. It was just sometimes he felt so suffocated that he didn't even have the strength to breathe.
Of course, his heart was not good when he was young, so he believed the explanation of congenital heart disease.
The Crown Prince was the first to interrupt, accusing, "How dare you speak nonsense! Our Dynasty reads the books of sages, baptized in the thoughts of benevolence and propriety, how could there be such a malicious person?"
"You don't even know this, and yet you call yourselves officials who stay around the Dynasty all day? Isn't it laughable?" Lin Yifan sneered, harshly criticizing this group of people.
"You claim the Emperor's illness is someone's plot, where's your evidence?" inquired a high official.
"The evidence is in the medicine soup your Emperor drinks every day!" Lin Yifan replied.
"Ridiculous, the medicine the Emperor drinks every day is personally brewed by the Imperial Physician, how could there be a problem?"
"What if the Imperial Physician intends harm?" Lin Yifan retorted.
"Impossible! The Imperial Physician's family has been loyal ministers of Tianmeng Country for generations, they would never do such a thing to harm the ruler."
"Times have changed, and not all Imperial Physicians come from official clans. Even if they do, they might do anything for profit," Lin Yifan responded.
"You say there's a problem with the decoction I'm drinking, but I've been drinking it for years, why haven't I noticed anything?" The Emperor of Tianmeng Country realized the seriousness of the situation and began to interrogate.
"Of course, you can't notice it because the poison is so mild that you hardly feel it," Lin Yifan answered, "But over the years, it becomes more uncontrollable. The poison will continuously attack your heart, and each time you drink it, your heart gets damaged until it eventually leads to death."
The Emperor of Tianmeng Country was shocked.
No wonder his heart had been faintly aching recently, it was indeed poisoned.
But what kind of poison was it? Why so hidden, indiscernible?
Thus, he pressed, "What kind of poison has afflicted me?"
"Sky Orchid Heart Poison!" Lin Yifan answered.
"Sky Orchid Heart Poison? What sort of poison is this? Why have I never heard of it?"
The civil and military officials of the court whispered amongst themselves.
"For officials of the Dynasty to have less knowledge than a wandering doctor like myself is understandable."
"Damn, isn't ridiculing us once enough? Do you want to insult us twice and seek death?" One of the military officials of Tianmeng Country angrily berated.
"Crown Prince, is this what you call the virtuous talent supposedly nurtured by reading saintly books and growing up bathing in benevolence and righteousness? How is his mouth so foul?" Lin Yifan inquired.
"You..."
The Crown Prince of Tianmeng Country was trembling with rage, wanting to kill this bastard Lin Yifan.
"Do not be rude, my beloved subjects!"
The Emperor of Tianmeng Country, sitting on his throne with an authoritative face, quashed the restless civil and military officials, then asked, "Young man, how do you know so much? We seem never to have met, you shouldn't know about my symptoms."
"Your symptoms are known to anyone who asks around on the street, nothing strange about it." Lin Yifan replied.
"So news of my critical condition has spread already."
The Emperor of Tianmeng Country sighed. He had never released such news, so who leaked it? Was it the civil and military officials of the court? Or someone else?
"Young man, since you know of this poison, do you have a way to counter it?"
"Of course I know, but I want some reward," Lin Yifan replied.
"That is negotiable, what reward do you want? As long as it is within my power, I will do my best to fulfill it." The Emperor of Tianmeng Country asked.
Lin Yifan didn't mince words and said directly, "Clove Vine!"
"Father, we cannot give it to him." The Crown Prince's expression turned tense, as he was the first to oppose.
"Why can't you give it to me?" Lin Yifan innocently questioned.
"Yes, why can't we give it to this young man?" The Emperor of Tianmeng Country was also curious.
"The Black Wind Organization also wants the Clove Vine, and they offered a high price for it," the Crown Prince answered truthfully.
"Is any price higher than your father's life?" The Emperor of Tianmeng Country asked, his face showing signs of anger.
The Crown Prince shivered, realizing he had misspoken, and stammered, "No...no..."
"Of course, it's not as important," Lin Yifan helped him answer.
"Scoundrel, stop slandering me, stop sowing discord!" the Crown Prince immediately burst into rage, pointing in Lin Yifan's face and scolding.
"Whether or not I'm slandering you, only you know well yourself!"
Lin Yifan seemed to lead the accusations towards the Crown Prince, causing all civil and military officials of the court to look at the Crown Prince.
"Damn it! I'm going to kill you!"
The Crown Prince could not endure any longer and immediately attacked.
Lin Yifan drew his sword with ease, skillfully deflecting the Crown Prince's assault.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
No matter how fiercely the Crown Prince attacked, he couldn't even touch Lin Yifan.
Moreover, after exchanging about a dozen moves, the Crown Prince's sword was knocked away by Lin Yifan, leading to a complete defeat.
"With such amateur skills, you dare to show off? Isn't it embarrassing?"
Lin Yifan pointed his sword at the Crown Prince's neck, mercilessly shaming him.
All the civil and military officials of the court were shocked because from the duel just now, they sensed Lin Yifan's realm was at the High Immortal Third Realm while their Crown Prince was at the High Immortal Fifth Realm, yet he was no match for Lin Yifan, it was truly incredible.
"Who is this young man really? Why is he so formidable?"
"I think he looks somewhat familiar, perhaps he is the young man with a five-year agreement with the Emperor of Qiuyu Country."
"If it's that lad, it's astonishing, I heard he obtained the Immortal Emperor Inheritance."
...
Listening to these discussions, Lin Yifan felt uneasy.
If these people identified him as the one who obtained the Immortal Emperor Inheritance, then he would be in danger.
On the other hand, one of the princes of Tianmeng Country, standing in front of the civil officials, was amazed by Lin Yifan's swordsmanship, so masterful that it's no wonder he could surpass two realms and defeat his eldest brother easily.
If he were to take up the fight, he wasn't sure if he could stand against Lin Yifan.
The Emperor of Tianmeng Country also realized that Lin Yifan's martial prowess was exceptional; achieving such feats at a young age was unimaginable.
However, the defeated Crown Prince was dumbstruck.
He never expected to lose so quickly and so miserably, truly shameful.
But the information he received from Zhang Yaoyao and the matchmaker was not like this at all. How did this brat suddenly become so strong? Wasn't he described as a stray dog?
It's normal to run away when the big bullies the little, and if Lin Yifan is now at the Mysterious Immortal Third Realm, then who in this World of All Things would he be afraid of?
