After Consort Han and his trail of servants and guards along with Consort Lin get inside the Inner Palace, The head entrance guard called a Eunuch to report the matter to the Crown Prince.
Khlui was busy following Prince Sunwoo's orders upon the preparations of the Emperor's cremation, a small altar is made that was adorned with flowers and the big portrait of the Emperor was settled on it together with the urn that was filled with His Highness' ashes.
The ministers and officials were summoned for a burial ceremony tomorrow where they will put the urn beside the Empress Dowager's tomb on the Family's mausoleum.
They are on their final steps in preparations when a eunuch barged in, panting in air like someone chased him away.
"State your concern." Prince Sunwoo said while he look at the eunuch attentively.
"The First rank Consort Her Grace Consort Han goes to the Royal Infirmary, she has trails of servants with her and Consort Lin, Prince Haii's woman tagged along, and what's more shocking Your Highness, Consort Han was holding the signet ring and the seal of her father General Han. " the eunuch, stops to breath in every sentence he uttered.
Prince Sunwoo got worried.
What happened to the General? Seems like his shadow guards got the signet ring and the seal.
"Let's go to the infirmary."
***
Kana overheard what the head guard said but he didn't care at all, Prince Sunwoo will ask him for sure but all he is thinking right now is the safety of his brother in this lifetime.
He was an orphan in the modern world, and he won't let that happen in this time. Not even in his dreams.
The guards in the Royal Infirmary give way when he saw Consort Han coming.
He bowed and walk behind Kana, and showed them the way where the Commander was laying, unconscious in one of the bed.
Kana muffled a gasp when he saw his brother, all bloody, someone is trying and still trying to stop the blood but they won't succeed.
"Give me alcohol, needles, strong threads, warm water in a basin, white cloth, lighted candle and lots of gauzes, now! Quick!" he ordered the man who accompanied them and he immediately move.
"What should I do Consort Han?" Consort Lin, unknowing what to do.
He wanted to help as well.
"Go and check your husband," Kana motioned him where Prince Haii was.
"Thank you. I'll be back."
RM put out all the antidote that Kana made while he was away, it was labeled according to its kind and the sickness that it can be use to cure.
The attendant came along with the things that Kana requested.
He wash his hands in the basin, and Sheen folded his sleeves while Lili prepared the brewed herbal medicines.
"Brother Yin?" Kana tap his cheek.
Commander Yin's eyes snapped open.
"Kana'er," he said, gasping and shivering in pain.
"Stay awake as possible.. I'll do my best." Kana folded a small cloth and have Commander Yin bite on it. He is laying in his side because he is also wounded on his back.
Kana cleaned the wound using the alcohol with cloth, Then he started to heat the clear glass' opening after he saw the size of the wound.
He heated it with the lighted candle and put it on the wound, allowing the heat inside it to make the glass as a suction on removing the poison.
Everyone who see, even Consort Lin who came back after seeing Prince Haii is asleep, got astonished on what Consort Han did specially when they saw that the clear glass was already filled with purplish blood and Commander Yin started to squirm and writhe.
Kana removed the glass and wipe the inside of it to remove the poisonous substance.
He repeated the process two times, Lili was quick to wipe his sweat away.
And Sheen is attending him on what he needs, RM stays beside Kana for he himself didn't know this kind of treatment.
After Kana was done on the second time poison suction, he ask RM the antidotes, pouring it immediately into the open wound. He ask RM to put thread on the needle which he quickly did, and then Kana began stitching the open wound.
Commander Yin squirm and writhe in the pain that he felt, he can feel the needle piercing his skin and the thread being pulled along with it.
The Crown Prince who got summoned by the eunuch arrive and has been secretly watching what his Phoenix has done and he himself got amazed.
What kind of treatment is that?
Kana fastened and tightened the thread before he put gauzes on the sewed wound, and move to do the same process on the back of Commander Yin where the arrow passed through while asking RM to help him hold Commander Yin's back, after he successfully did it he wrap the wounds with a long cloth around Commander Yin's body with RM's help, Commander Yin was hit in his chest, three inches away from his heart.
Lili put the brewed medicine in a small bowl and Sheen helped Commander Yin, lifting his head a little bit for him to drink the tonic properly.
Kana blew a loud breath when he saw his brother's complexion getting better.
Then he moved to Prince Haii's bed.
He look okay.
He check his wound and it looks like he isn't really hit badly.
It's just a small wound, the arrow pass through it, leaving a 3 inches deep scratched on his shoulder.
"He'll live, looks like he's not poisoned at all. Don't worry." Kana comforted Consort Lin who smiled a bit and thanked him.
Kana then moved towards Prince Tong.
"Your Highness." Kana greeted him.
"Consort Han.. Why are you here?"
Kana didn't answered him, he just examined Prince Haii, and amongst the patients, he's the one who's badly hurt.
"You were shot by a poisoned arrow.. Before I proceed, I have one question though." Kana said, Sheen came closer when he motioned her.
"Take the dirty things away and replace with new ones. Quick." He then look at Prince Tong.
"Do you have any idea on what your mother had schemed?"
Prince Tong looked like he is confused.
"Schemed? I don't know what you're talking about Consort Han."
"The Emperor was poisoned by your mother for a long time now that caused his life.. Your mother might be in the dungeon now.. So I am asking you this.. Do you know her plans?"
Prince Tong shook his head.
"I lay my name in the Almighty Buddha that he will take my life if I am lying.. I am dying actually, why would I lie? I don't know anything about what she did.." He shook his head in disbelief.
"Even if you survived this poison and you live, I will still kill you if I found out that you're lying Prince Tong." Kana said while he prepared his things.
"Stay still and prepare for the pain."
Kana did the same on what he did to his brother, and after a long minutes of waiting, he is done.
"Lili, Sheen, take our things. Thank you for the help guys."
"Kana'er." Prince Sunwoo showed up himself causing everyone to bow at him.
He is the new Emperor though the proper coronation ceremony hasn't take place yet, he is the successor to the throne.
"Your Highness!" Kana bowed his head low but Prince Sunwoo hugged him tightly, he buried his face on Kana's shoulder, calming himself on his inviting scent making all the witness gasps.
"Everyone, turn around." Klhui said and everyone did as they were told.
"Sunwoo are you okay?"
Everyone who heard the Consort called their soon to be Emperor in his first name had the same thought.
'Consort Han is soon to be our Empress.'
