Chapter 454: Something is wrong

When the ministers saw the emperor like this, they all came forward to persuade him to take the emperor's health first and not overwork himself.

But this aroused the emperor's anger. He felt that they said such things because they thought he was old. This concerned his dignity as a man, and he was very angry.

He even said bluntly in the hall:

"I've been tired all my life. Do I need to ask you about taking a concubine now?"

A good person suddenly became possessed by a demon and refused to listen to advice.

Logically speaking, it doesn't exist?

After Jiang Yu left the court, he talked about this matter with Duke Jiang during lunch. Duke Jiang was not in the court now, but he still needed to keep track of what was going on in the court.

Upon hearing this news, Duke Jiang couldn't help but frown.

He has been with the emperor for decades. Although he doesn't know the emperor very well, he knows him at least 70% well. He is not someone who would be blinded by lust. It must be unusual for him to suddenly become like this.

Even when he doted on the Imperial Noble Consort, it wasn't to this extent. Where did this witch Nie Zhaoyi come from?

Su Wan's appetite has improved a lot recently. Su Mu gave her a meal list. Now she eats according to the list every day to make up for all the previous losses.

Hearing the emperor's abnormal behavior, Su Wan couldn't help but think of the original novel, where the emperor was poisoned by lingchi, and his health deteriorated day by day, and he died in just three years.

However, the plot now seems to be wrong. In the original novel, the emperor does not have a Nie Zhaoyi at all. There is no such NPC at all.

There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. It seems that Su Wan needs to contact Murong Huai.

Coincidentally, Murong Huai also thought so, but he was more direct. He came without saying hello and told Jiang Yu specifically that he wanted to see Su Wan.

Jiang Yu knew that these two must have a secret, and Murong Huai did not hide it from him, which showed that he trusted Jiang Yu very much, and he also believed that Jiang Yu trusted him very much.

Su Wan was led by Jiang Yu to the study, where Murong Huai was waiting, tapping the table with his fingers. He seemed to be in a bad mood.

"You guys chat, I'll wait for you outside."

Jiang Yu brought the person in and then went out himself. He didn't seem to mind being alone with anyone at all.

When Murong Huai saw Su Wan, he seemed to feel a little more at ease.

He really couldn't understand his father's behavior, so he came to ask Su Wan, who had a God's perspective.

Su Wan also roughly guessed what he was here for.

Murong Huai saw it with his own eyes today. He went to find his father, but found that his father was drinking and listening to music in the hall, and in his arms was a woman wearing a blue dancer's costume and looking very charming.

The woman leaned in her father's arms, weak and boneless, her lips were as red as fire, and the accessories on her body were so dazzling that they could blind people's eyes.

It has been less than a year now, and my father himself has issued an order that everyone should not be too extravagant and should keep everything simple in order to mourn the late crown prince.

As a result, he broke the rules himself, which made Murong Huai very uncomfortable.

Isn't this just like being possessed by evil spirits?

He tried to give advice with good intentions, but was scolded by his father. Feeling upset, he came to Su Wan and asked her to help analyze the situation.

"My friend, I want to ask if there is a person named Nie Zhaoyi in the book?"

Su Wan shook his head directly:

"There's no such person as Nie Zhaoyi. I just heard about it and was wondering about it. I wanted to remind you to be careful with the Queen and her son. After all, in the book, after the death of the former Crown Prince, the Emperor intended to support Murong Sheng to ascend to the throne. The Queen and her son were jealous, so they poisoned the Emperor with Lingchi. Later, my second brother cured him, but despite this, he only lived for less than three years.

Now, the plot has completely changed. This sudden appearance of Nie Zhaoyi and the Emperor's unusual behavior all indicate that something is wrong. I think you should find a way to get my second brother into the palace so that the Emperor can take a good look and see if there's any suspicion of poisoning."

Su Wan just thought that this incident happened not long ago, and if the poison could be detoxified quickly, everything would still be in time.

But this is exactly where Murong Huai is helpless.

"The emperor is now particularly resistant to having others see him. Apart from the daily pulse check by the imperial physician, he won't let anyone see him. But the imperial physician says that the emperor's pulse is stable and there's nothing wrong, but I still feel something is wrong. Moreover, he simply can't stand people telling him to take care of himself. At the very least, he'll scold you, and at the worst, he'll have you dragged out and beheaded.

Do you know Eunuch Lu, who used to serve my father? Because he said something like that, my father was furious and had him thrown into prison. Eunuch Lu served him for forty years. It's hard to judge him!"

Murong Huai complained about his father, looking helpless.

Isn't it because you have no other choice that you come to Su Wan for help in analyzing the situation?

Su Wan pondered for a moment, and she sorted out these things:

"What's the Queen's attitude?"

"What other attitude could she have? I don't know if she's pretending or not. She's already met with the Emperor several times and given frank warnings, but he's grounded her. If she did it, I can only say she's a great actress. If it's fake, I don't think it's fake."

The queen has cleared herself of the responsibility. If anything goes wrong, she can just say that she has been under house arrest as a shield, and no one will have any evidence to say that she did it.

"If you say so, then that imperial physician is also problematic. He's probably been bribed. I'm not saying anything unkind, but your father is so old and still indulges in lust, drinking, and staying up late every day. Even if his body is strong, it will soon decline. You should know what it means to be a gentle knife, but every knife cuts someone's life, right?"

As he got older, what he feared most was dying at the hands of a woman. And from hearing Murong Huai's description, it seemed that the emperor was completely trapped.

This beauty trap can be said to be the fastest and most effective way to kill people.

After hearing what Su Wan said, Murong Huai became even more anxious.

"This matter still needs to be considered carefully. I'll try to find a way to get the emperor to agree to see Divine Doctor Su. At least if he comes to the palace, we can have a chance to investigate and see if he's really been poisoned or drugged."

Murong Huai asked his questions clearly, and then left in a daze.

Su Wan could only tell him what she knew, but she couldn't help much with this kind of thing. Now she just wanted to give birth to her child safely and healthily.

After she became pregnant, her temper became much more restrained.

Jiang Yu sent Murong Huai out of the house and didn't ask anything after he came back. Su Wan thought he would ask a few questions.

He didn't ask, and Su Wan didn't plan to say it on his own initiative.

Now he is on duty in the Ministry of Justice and has a lot of things to do every day. After he is done, he will come back to accompany me.

Jiang Yu has always known that there is a secret between Murong Huai and Su Wan, but he never takes the initiative to pry into it, but chooses to believe it unconditionally.
