576 Helpless

It is said that Sun Sicheng felt as if he was living in purgatory at this moment.

He never dreamed that he would encounter such a thing, the prince usurping the throne.

Yesterday afternoon, he was taken directly to the Emperor's Palace of Heavenly Purity by Eunuch Zhuo. As soon as he entered, he was controlled by the inner guards, while the Emperor was lying in a daze on the dragon bed.

He knew without checking that the emperor had been poisoned, a poison that would not kill him for the time being but would make him weak all over. He could hear but could not do anything.

The second prince, who was usually as bright as the breeze and the moon, sat on the chair and looked at him with a smile.

Even a fool could tell something was wrong.

Sun Sicheng was just a doctor, why was he dragged into the struggle for imperial power? Who would be the future emperor had nothing to do with him, he really didn't care about it.

Can't you just let him spend the New Year at home?

It seems that many of the guards in the Qianqing Palace have been replaced, which shows that this matter had been planned long ago.

Doctor Huang was sitting on the side with his head down. I wonder if he was coerced? It is very likely that he was the one who poisoned the emperor and Eunuch Hu.

The night passed like that.

Sun Sicheng had no idea what to do. Didn't the old abbot say he had survived the catastrophe? Why did another one come? Fortunately, Ping An didn't come. I wonder if he would bring trouble to the family?

This made Sun Sicheng feel helpless.

In the morning, the prince was brought in and was also subdued as soon as he came in. Soon he lay on the ground beside the dragon bed with Eunuch Hu.

Fortunately, the emperor's bedroom was not cold, otherwise it would have been frozen in such weather.

He saw that the emperor's face was beginning to darken. After all, he was an old man.

Sun Sicheng mustered up his courage and said, "Second Prince, the emperor is old. If this poison lasts for a long time, it will cause great damage to his body. Can I give him some treatment?"

"Hehe." The second prince chuckled, his whole body was handsome and extraordinary, "Sun Sicheng, don't be afraid, this world will be mine, I won't do anything to you, maybe I will even make you a marquis in the future, my people will soon control the whole city.

What can I do to my father? I also want him to live a long life and be a good emperor. He is my brother, or perhaps the former crown prince of the Great Zhou. I will not take his life. What is the point of taking his life? He and I are brothers in this life. Brothers may not have the next life in this life. Why should I kill him?

Wouldn't it be great if he could bring his whole family to help me guard the imperial mausoleum in the future? Sun Sicheng, don't worry, you have food and drink here, at the latest tomorrow, I might be able to let you go back, as long as you don't talk nonsense.

Of course, smart people don't dare to say anything. After all, I will be the emperor of the Great Zhou tomorrow. The whole Great Zhou belongs to me. You are a smart person, and I believe you know what to do. In fact, who becomes the emperor has no effect on your medical family, right?"

Sun Sicheng said nothing.

Soon after he arrived yesterday, he understood that the reason he was brought here was simply because he knew medicine and poisons. Today's banquet had gathered all the powerful and wealthy people in the Great Zhou, and it would be no surprise that these people would be poisoned and then controlled as well.

By controlling these people and then their families, you can basically control the capital. Almost all military power in the capital is in the hands of these people or their families. In this way, the capital can be controlled.

If he was at the banquet, he might find out what was going on and ruin their plans.

But even if Ping An didn't come, it wouldn't have happened the same way. The child's poison is now worse than his.

At this time, someone came to report something to the Second Prince, and soon the smile on the Second Prince's face became even more intense.

"Um, cough, cough, oh, cough."

When Sun Sicheng looked over, he saw that the emperor's face looked even worse, and there was even a little blood coming out of the corner of his mouth.

He stood up and said, "Second Prince, if you don't want the Emperor to get into trouble, then please ask Sicheng to examine him. The poison used by Imperial Doctor Huang may not be suitable for him. Some poisons are not just right in the right dosage. It also depends on the person's physical condition. It may conflict with the medicine he usually takes."

The Second Prince turned and looked at Doctor Huang with a sharp gaze.

Neither his father nor the crown prince can die now. The crown prince is the emperor's weak point. With the crown prince in his hands, he is not afraid that the emperor will not pass the throne to him in front of all the ministers. Otherwise, even if he gets the throne, it will be unjustified.

The military power in the South China Sea area is already in the hands of his people. He also has people in the southwest and the north, but they are of little use. The power of the Jingjiao Camp is now in the hands of General Huang, and his people are deputy generals. It has been decided that Shen Shizheng and Shen Shimo will take action, and now it is almost time.

Doctor Huang was so frightened that he knelt down hurriedly: "Your Highness, Master Sun is right. I have said before that I am not very good at using poison. It is indeed determined by the amount of poison. The emperor should let Master Sun examine him now."

"Useless stuff." The second prince took a deep breath, "Sun Sicheng, go and see my father and my brother. If you need a prescription, report it to Doctor Huang and ask him to prepare the medicine."

"yes."

Sun Sicheng no longer hesitated and hurried over to take the emperor's pulse. The emperor was very kind to him, and he didn't want the emperor to get hurt.

The emperor is such a smart man, with countless capable people around him, but how did he end up in his current situation? He still couldn't understand it.

Doctor Huang came over. He also had a lot of grievances to say. His sons and grandsons were all captured by the Second Prince. He was forced to poison the Emperor and the Crown Prince. He had already used as little dosage as possible, so how could this happen?

The Second Prince became agitated and paced back and forth in the room. In another hour, everything would be settled. With General Huang's family in his hands, he would not worry about the Huang family army or Huang Zhan's disobedience.

Doctor Huang saw that no one was paying attention to the situation here at this time, and said softly: "Young Master, I am helpless, but I have tried my best to control the amount. How could this happen? Take a look and use medicine. It will make the emperor and the prince feel better. I will prepare the medicine immediately."

Sun Sicheng glanced at him and nodded slightly.

He didn't know whether it was a human or a ghost, perhaps he was helpless, but he really didn't know this Imperial Doctor Huang, and he didn't know how the director was doing. He should be at home on New Year's Day. The director of the Imperial Medical Bureau was only a fifth-rank official and was not qualified to attend the banquet. Fortunately, that was good.

Sun Sicheng quickly wrote a prescription and handed it to Doctor Huang. When he was examining the emperor's pulse just now, the emperor had written "save the prince" on his palm.

Oh my God, what can he use to save us?

He went to check the prince's pulse again. Fortunately, the prince was poisoned by the same poison, but not as severe as the emperor's.

He wrote another prescription, but unfortunately his medical box was taken away as soon as he came in. He came without any preparation, and it was New Year's Day, so he had no medicine on him.

"Second Prince, the Emperor is indeed not feeling well right now. The poison is moving very quickly in his body, and he needs medicine immediately."

The second prince stopped and looked at Doctor Huang.

Doctor Huang said, "Yes, what the eldest master said is correct. The prescription has been written. I will go get the medicine now."

"Okay, go quickly and come back quickly. Don't have any ulterior motives, otherwise, you know what's going on."

Doctor Huang said, "Yes, Your Highness."

Eunuch Xiao Zhuo came trotting in: "Second Prince, Wan Ping'an has arrived with a little eunuch, and they will be here soon."

The second prince was delighted and laughed: "It's a good thing that the child came at this time. No one will ruin my plans at the banquet."
