Everyone was quiet and waiting for Yi Ling's next move.
Yi Ling walked towards Xiang He, and Elder Zhen gave way to her. With a wave of her sleeve, three vials landed in her hand. They were green and red concoctions, along with an empty bigger vial. Yi Ling had never tried mixing both before, but she felt confident it would work on Xiang He.
In front of Xiang He, Yi Ling uncorked the two colored concoctions. The smell permeated the air, and Xiang He and Elder Zhen felt invigorated just by smelling it. At first, they were both hesitant, but now they were reassured that Doctor Yi knew medicine.
Yi Ling poured both concoctions into the empty bigger vial. Linyu's brows furrowed. He knew what the two were but even he didn't know what would happen when mixed.
As soon as the two concoctions made contact, bubbles started forming in the big vial, like it was boiling. Yi Ling held it firmly and waited until it stopped. Xiang He was curious about the concoctions in front of him. He didn't know anything about medicine, but the one in front of him looked magical, with different colors shimmering inside the vial.
When the bubbles finally stopped, Yi Ling handed the vial to Xiang He. "It probably won't taste good, but it'll definitely cure you. Drink it in one go," she ordered, maintaining a confident demeanor.
Xiang He accepted the vial and looked at everyone. They all waited for him to drink it. He took a deep breath and drank the vial. An intense burning sensation traveled from his throat to his stomach. He didn't stop drinking until it was gone. When he finished, he started coughing violently.
"Elder Zhen!" Elder Zhen immediately went to the Crown Prince's side, assisting him as he coughed up dark, viscous blood.
"Your Highness! Are you okay? Doctor Yi! What is going on?" Elder Zhen started to panic.
"He is expelling the poison inside him. Don't give him any water until he stops coughing," Yi Ling ordered, seeing Elder Zhen about to hand Xiang He a glass of water. Elder Zhen stared at Doctor Yi, unsure but willing to follow orders.
