Chapter 213: Find the Traitor and Remove All the Nails
"Don't worry, doesn't he want to rely on his wound to stay in Hanzhou City? I have asked someone to apply medicine to his wound. Within half a month, he will have to lose his arm to survive!"

Broken arm? Jiang Shiyuan felt that he might not be willing, but when she thought that at most half a month later, this person would no longer have any influence on them, she felt a little better and asked.

"After the baby is born, have you thought about how to tell the public the news?"

"I plan to let my mother come back first. I will feel more at ease if she takes care of you."

Mrs. Pei had finally left this unhappy place, and now she had to go back again. Jiang Shiyuan felt a little guilty, but for the safety of the children, she also felt that this method was more appropriate. After all, she was the children's grandmother, and she had been dealing with Hanzhou for so many years, so she must have her own abilities.

So she said nothing more and leaned quietly in Pei Zisu's arms, looking forward to the early birth of the child.

As the days passed, it gradually became hotter.

Especially after the Dragon Boat Festival, the sun in the sky never rested, hanging high in the sky every day to steam and bake the earth. Ice was used early in the Han Palace. Even so, a faint smell of rotten meat could still be smelled in the courtyard where Song Shiye lived.

He lay on the bed with a pale face, and his originally healthy left arm had now begun to rot from the flesh. When he was first injured, he just felt a little unwell, but gradually he felt a loss of energy and blood.

The pain became more and more painful every day when the bandages were changed. Normally, such a knife wound should have healed into a scar after half a month of treatment, but pus continued to flow out and now the arm has undergone irreversible necrosis. When the doctors came to see him, they sighed helplessly at his arm that was already red, swollen, festering, and dark.

"I'm afraid that the prince's arm can't be saved. If he delays any longer, he won't be able to survive. So I'm afraid he will have to cut off his arm to survive."

Survive with a broken arm?!
Song Shi was also furious when he heard this. How could he be willing to cut off his arm to survive?
He still wants to be the emperor in the future. There is no such thing as a one-armed emperor in this world. He was so angry when he thought about it. If he had known this, he would not have arranged this matter. He even wanted to make him lose one arm to save his life!
He had ten thousand reasons to suspect that someone had tampered with his medicine, but he couldn't say that in Hanzhou's territory. If the time came, people would simply put the blame on those men in black, and he wouldn't be able to get any justice at all!

Staying in Hanzhou was a dead end now, so he spoke weakly.

"Uncle Wang, I'm afraid I can't stay here anymore. It's better to return to Xijing City as soon as possible. Maybe this arm can be saved."

After all, there is an imperial physician there, and he believes more in what the doctors in Xijing City say.

But the King of Han was doing it for his own good. The journey was thousands of miles long, and if he was delayed on the road for ten days or half a month, he might lose his life. So he tried to persuade him with some words.

"Nephew, if you keep the green mountains, you will not be afraid of firewood. If you delay any longer, I'm afraid your arm will be in danger. Are you sure you want to leave now?"

Of course Song Shiye had to leave. No matter what, he had to go back and give it a try. If the time really came when his hand was about to be cut off, he would have thought it through, so he nodded. Seeing this, the King of Han could only arrange a boat, and then asked the doctor to accompany Song Shiye, and they left Hanzhou without stopping.

The speed was so fast that they arrived earlier than Geng Shiming and his team who set out by land.

After he left, the person in the Prince of Han's Mansion felt uneasy. She knew exactly what happened outside. If she was really involved, she was afraid that her life would be in danger. So she was secretly planning a way out for herself. However, before she found the opportunity, Pei Zisu found her.

"My Lady Concubine, are you planning to pack up and run away?" The woman who was named showed some embarrassment on her face, but then she quickly changed her expression and said to the King of Han who was next to Pei Zisu.

"Your Highness, what does General Pei mean by that? Didn't I tell you a long time ago that I would stay in the temple for two days? Why did General Pei make it sound as if I had done something shameful?"

The King of Han was also very sad, but the evidence was conclusive that his beloved concubine, whom he had favored for many years, was indeed a spy in Xijing City, so he sighed deeply and said something.

"Should I call you Lian Linyu?"

When this name was spoken, the concubine had no way to refute it. Even if she wanted to complain for herself, it was just a dying struggle. Although she had been a spy for so many years, she also knew that the King of Han had been sincere to her, so she burst into tears while smiling.

Then he knelt before the King of Han and said.

"I have nothing to say, Your Majesty, please deal with me."

Among the evidences presented by Pei Zisu, there were many things about this concubine, but in fact, she had not really done anything to harm the King of Han. The information she could leak were all insignificant. Just like everything in the Pei family army, she didn't know, so naturally she couldn't leak it.

The King of Han still had some fantasies about her, but after seeing the determination in her eyes, he realized that although they had different political views, they were still people from different places. If he forgave her once, many things that happened later would not be able to unfold.

So, after gnashing his teeth to look at the concubine, he gave her poisoned wine. The concubine knew very well that she could not escape today, so she took it and drank it all in one gulp. When she felt the pain in her stomach, she said something to the King of Han.

"I hope that in my next life, I will not be a spy, even if I am just a maidservant beside the prince."

After saying this, the concubine died of suffocation. The King of Han shed tears, but the overall situation still needed him to preside over. After wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, he gave instructions to Pei Zisu.

"Find out the other spies in the city and deal with them all. As for the concubine, find an ordinary place to bury her."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

At this point, the massive and detailed investigation in the city was becoming more and more clear. Following the two lines of the concubine and Prince Chun, many things that no one had thought of before were uncovered. When Prince Chun received the news in Xijing City, all the nails he had buried in Hanzhou were pulled out.

At this moment, Song Shiye, who had returned to the palace for treatment, also fell into a coma.

The imperial physicians could not figure out how to detoxify the poison, and their final conclusion was the same as that of the doctors in Hanzhou, that the only option was to cut off the arm in order to survive.

Princess Chun was heartbroken. This was the only child she had in her life. Now his life or death was in danger and she was forced to have her arm amputated. How could she accept this? So she hugged the prince's body and began to cry loudly.
