Chapter 1793: Chapter 1795: Take These Two Away and Execute Them
"Yes! Your servant takes leave!" Afterward, Mu Shaoling left.
Only after Mu Shaoling left, the Emperor suddenly leaned back on the chair, seeming to have aged many years.
He was poisoned, indeed poisoned, and it was a poison that allowed someone to control him!
The person who poisoned him could use this poison to control him, making him do whatever they wished.
What a terrifying poison it was, what if they wanted him to commit suicide? He couldn’t help but think deeply.
What if they wanted him to harm the ministers?
Then the entire Great Zhou would be in chaos!
He said Prince Ning was poisoned in the same way, with the same poison as him, which is why Prince Ning went mad.
Now, thinking back, he could guess who the poisoner was without Mu Shaoling needing to say it explicitly.
Suddenly, he recalled the incident some days ago when the Fourth, Prince Fu, was detained.
Before that, he had met the Second once, and he fell into a deep sleep afterward, only to awaken having written the edict to seize the Fourth’s manor in his own hand.
Second, Second, how ruthless you are; the Eldest and the Fourth are your brothers!
The Emperor closed his eyes, the pain in his heart was indescribable, suddenly remembering that charming woman from many years ago, this was the root of it all.
As for his secret guards, his Imperial Army, his eunuch chief, they had all been controlled one by one, and his palace was no longer under his control. Yet he hadn’t noticed these anomalies all along, nor did those imperial physicians ever realize anything during their pulse readings?
No, maybe they did notice but didn’t dare speak up to save their own lives.
"Guards! Guards!" The Emperor suddenly overturned everything on the desk in the Imperial Study.
"Emperor, Emperor, what happened to you?" A young eunuch came in, unfamiliar, and the Emperor suddenly asked, "Where is Cui, where is Wei?"
Eunuch Cui and Eunuch Wei were nowhere to be seen.
"Emperor, have you forgotten? Eunuch Cui and Eunuch Wei were punished and sent to the laundry room for misconduct before the throne."
The Emperor closed his eyes, he knew those two had been transferred away.
"Go call the imperial physician, I’m feeling a bit unwell."
"Yes, I will go right away." The young eunuch hurried off, and soon several maids came over to massage the Emperor’s temples.
Soon the imperial physician came with the eunuch.
"How is it? Is my health still alright?" The Emperor lifted his eyelids slightly.
The imperial physician, looking unruffled, knelt and replied, "Replying to the Emperor, your Majesty’s health is quite robust, and the reason you feel a headache is perhaps due to not having slept well in the last two days. I will prescribe two decoctions, and after the Emperor drinks them and gets a good sleep, you will recover fully."
"Nonsense!" Just as he finished speaking, the Emperor kicked him, "You quack doctors, who told you I had a headache? You don’t even know what illness I have and you randomly prescribe medicine? Is this how you diagnose people? One can only imagine how many people have been misdiagnosed to death over the years."
"Emperor, Emperor, I am wronged." The imperial physician knelt, kowtowing repeatedly, he was indeed unlucky, "Emperor, it was this little eunuch who said you had a headache."
"Nonsense!" The Emperor kicked him again, "Clearly my eyes hurt, you dumb fool! Fool! And you, you dog servant, can’t even relay a message properly!" Kicking the physician, the Emperor then went to kick the young servant.
Then he shouted outside, "Guards, take these two and behead them, behead them all!"
"Yes!" Several guards came in from outside, dragging the physician and servant away.
"Emperor, spare my life, I beg for mercy!" The imperial physician shouted wildly, "Emperor, I am wronged!"
