Emperor Liang Cheng sighed slightly and said, "I really don't know who came up with such a method. Wu Fu, it's not an easy thing to change this piece of land. Who took it? When did they change it? With such a big commotion, it would take a lot of people to cooperate to cover it up. I only understand now how unpopular I am. How many people want my life?"

Chen Wufu, holding the tray, knelt on the ground again. Emperor Liang Cheng sneered and said, "Get up. Something this big shouldn't be hard to find out."

Chen Wufu thought of something and said to Emperor Liang Cheng, "Your Majesty, you should issue a secret decree to bring Lord Xu back to the capital."

Emperor Liang Cheng thought for a moment and said, "At this time, not only should we keep the Great Yan in check, but we should also keep the Southwest in check. Luzhou is close to the Southwest, and we cannot easily move against Xu Di there. Wu Fu, send someone to take my token and have Marquis Xu come to the palace. Do not knock on the palace gate; let him come in through the secret passage."

Chen Zhaocheng listened with trepidation, and after watching Chen Wufu go outside to give instructions, he stood respectfully to one side with his hands at his sides.

Emperor Liang Cheng asked Chen Zhaocheng, "Tell me the truth, is there a cure for the poison in my body?"

After pondering for a while, Chen Zhaocheng said, "Your Majesty, the poison in your body can be cured, but I am missing one ingredient. This ingredient is very common in the southwest, but it is rare in our north. In my opinion, you should rest and recuperate now, and then detoxify after I find the ingredient."

Upon hearing that he needed to nourish his body, Emperor Liang Cheng asked, "Then tell me, how should I nourish my body?"

Chen Zhaocheng thought about it several times and felt that Chen Zhaoci was the most suitable person to do this, but he knew that the palace was a huge whirlpool right now, and it would be best if he didn't come.

Emperor Liang waited for a long time but did not hear a reply from Chen Zhaocheng. In a flash, he understood Chen Zhaocheng's thoughts. In their Chen family, when it came to medical skills, the best was naturally Chen Zhaoci.

Thinking of Chen Zhaoci's contributions to the Great Liang Dynasty, Emperor Liang Cheng was initially unwilling to involve her in this matter. However, now that it had come to a life-or-death situation, Emperor Liang Cheng's paternal affection for his son had vanished after learning he had been poisoned. As a father, he could be disappointed in his child and allow him to be somewhat willful and mischievous, but as a monarch, he would not allow his child to do anything harmful to the country. The legacy left by his ancestors and the people who genuinely supported the Great Liang Dynasty were Emperor Liang Cheng's bottom line. He decided not to sit idly by and wait for his doom; he wanted to fight back.

Emperor Liang Cheng looked at Chen Zhaocheng and said gently, "I know that getting my family involved in this matter at this time will cause a lot of trouble. But now, I am in a very difficult situation. My chosen child has not yet grown up, and I still have many things to deal with. I cannot watch someone destroy this country that has just begun to improve."

Chen Zhaocheng bowed deeply to Emperor Liang Cheng and said with shame, "It was my narrow-mindedness. I beg Your Majesty to send a message to my younger sister and ask her to come to the palace to treat Your Majesty."

Emperor Liang Cheng sighed deeply and called out loudly, "Wu Fu, come in!"

Chen Wufu was giving instructions outside when he heard Emperor Liang Cheng's shout. He quickly came in and said, "Have someone invite the Third Madam of the Xu family to the palace to treat me. She should come in through the secret passage, just like Marquis Xu, and no one should notice."

Chen Wufu looked at Chen Zhaocheng in surprise and quickly went out to send someone to deliver the message.

After issuing this series of orders, Emperor Liang Cheng felt physically and mentally exhausted, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness and was at his wit's end, wanting to lie down and rest. However, his mind was unusually active. Chen Zhaocheng, who had a deep understanding of this poison, said to Emperor Liang Cheng, "Your Majesty, this poison makes people feel very tired, but they cannot rest properly. Let me massage you, and you can close your eyes and rest. If you rest well, your body's self-healing ability will be stronger."

This poison is a slow-acting poison that makes people feel like they have a cold. If someone who doesn't know about this poison comes to treat them, they will only give them a cold caused by overwork. After using a prescription for treating typhoid fever, the toxicity will be further enhanced. The toxicity will also make people's nerves abnormally active, so even though they are very tired, they cannot sleep.

Emperor Liang Cheng lay on the daybed, and Chen Zhaocheng stood beside him, pressing several acupoints on his head with gentle, slow movements. Gradually, Emperor Liang Cheng's mind relaxed, and he slowly fell asleep.

After Chen Wufu entered, he saw that Emperor Liang Cheng was asleep. He beckoned to Chen Zhaocheng, who tiptoed over. Chen Wufu whispered, "I have already sent a message to the Yongning Marquis's residence. Marquis Xu and Madam Xu will be led in through a secret passage in the palace. Don't worry, Master Chen, they won't be discovered."

Chen Zhaocheng nodded and asked softly, "Has Your Majesty not had a good night's sleep in a long time?"

Chen Wufu sighed softly and said, "Ever since the First Prince and the Third Prince had their accident, His Majesty's sleep has been poor. We originally thought it was because His Majesty was worried about the two princes, but who knew it was because he was poisoned."

Thinking of the items that had been soaked in poison, Chen Zhaocheng said to Chen Wufu, "Tomorrow morning, open all the doors and windows in front of and behind the Imperial Study. I will search slowly again. I think there should be other things I haven't smelled yet. At this time, the Imperial Study is heated by the underfloor heating, so the poison will evaporate from the items even faster. Eunuch Chen, not only His Majesty, but also you and the eunuchs who often stay in this room should be thoroughly checked."
