Chapter 254 The eldest prince died suddenly

"Your Majesty, the eldest prince died suddenly."

It was like a thunderclap, shocking the whole audience.

Yun Zheng's eyes widened suddenly. What? Did I hear that right?

The emperor was stunned, shocked, and incredulous. "Say it again."

The palace maids trembled with fear, not daring to breathe, "The eldest prince died suddenly."

"Your Majesty, please go over and take charge of the situation."

The emperor's face instantly lost all color and his body swayed. The eunuch immediately helped him up, but he pushed him away fiercely.

"Go to Xian'an Palace."

He hurried away with his men, and Yun Zheng followed without hesitation with the ghost doctor.

The Ye family looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and ultimately did not follow.

Don't cause trouble, or you'll incur the Emperor's wrath.

Xian'an Palace is a two-story palace where the princes who were poisoned were treated.

The princes lived in the second courtyard, and the imperial doctors took turns on duty and lived in the first courtyard.

The emperor, who came in a sedan chair, heard loud crying from afar.

The emperor's expression changed slightly, "Go in."

"The Emperor has arrived."

The eldest prince's biological mother, Concubine Li, was lying on the bed, crying her heart out. When she heard the report, she immediately rushed over.

"Your Majesty, you are finally here. Please come and see our child and save him."

She grabbed the emperor's arm and pulled him forward with all her might.

In the past, this disrespectful behavior would have been reprimanded by the emperor, but at this moment, the emperor was confused and was pulled forward.

The scene he saw made his pupils tremble violently.

The eldest prince lay motionless on the bed with his eyes closed, his face frighteningly pale.

The imperial doctors knelt on the ground, as if they had lost their parents.

The emperor shouted angrily, "Why are you standing there? Hurry and save them."

The chief physician gritted his teeth and bravely announced, "Your Majesty, the eldest prince has passed away."

The emperor was furious. "This is impossible. He was fine just now. How could he suddenly..."

His voice trembled and he couldn't continue.

The doctor kowtowed deeply, feeling extremely terrified. "Your Majesty, please take care of your body."

The emperor strode forward and touched the eldest prince's face, which was still warm.

He stretched out his index finger and placed it under the eldest prince's nose. There was no heat!

No, that's not true!

No matter how much he doesn't care about the eldest prince, he is still his biological son. How could he not feel pain?

He couldn't help but feel heartbroken and wanted to kill someone!

"How could this happen? What do you imperial doctors do for a living? I asked you to watch over me, and this is the result?"

The imperial doctors were trembling with fear. They were to blame for the death of the eldest prince.

They kowtowed desperately, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down."

The emperor's eyes were filled with violence as he issued a cold order, "All the serving palace maids and imperial physicians will be beaten to death!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone collapsed to the ground, filled with fear.

No, they don't want to die.

The doctor's face turned pale, his mind racing. "Your Majesty, wait a minute, listen to me first. The eldest prince died suddenly. It was the poison that took effect."

The emperor looked at him coldly, "Didn't you say it was half solved?"

Several imperial doctors looked at each other and exchanged glances.

Doctor Li suddenly reported, "It was the ghost doctor. There's something wrong with the prescription he gave."

Doctor Wang immediately agreed, "Yes, the eldest prince died suddenly after drinking the medicine."

They chose to throw the ghost doctor out and bear the emperor's wrath.

A few people have to die, but I would rather my fellow Taoists die than let myself die.

The emperor had no place to vent his anger, burning his internal organs, "Catch the ghost doctor."

Just as the imperial doctors were secretly rejoicing, a clear voice suddenly rang out, "Wait a moment."

It was Yun Zheng, she appeared with the ghost doctor.

The guards surrounded the ghost doctor and wanted to capture him, but Yun Zheng blocked their way.

Doctor Li saw that the situation was not good and shouted anxiously, "Princess Jinyun, this is none of your business. Get out of the way and stop shielding the murderer."

The ghost doctor can be moved, but Princess Jinyun cannot be moved. She is the future Princess Rui. If they offend her, will the Nine Thousand Year Old Man forgive them?

Yun Zheng ignored him and looked at the emperor, then suddenly said something.

"Shouldn't we check on the other three princes as a top priority?"

The emperor was stunned.

Yun Zheng calmly lowered her eyebrows, "Your Majesty, at a time like this, the priority should be protecting the prince. How can anyone still be in the mood to shirk responsibility? I'm almost dying of worry."

The imperial doctors' faces turned black. It was horrible, and every cut drew blood.

The emperor's expression changed, and his head, which had been clouded by anger, became clearer. "Go and bring the three princes here, quickly."

During the waiting process, the whole place was unusually quiet and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

Yun Zheng glanced at the eldest prince on the bed, feeling confused and alert.

After a while, the three princes appeared and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

If something happens again, no one will be alive.

The imperial doctors gathered around and took turns taking his pulse.

The chief physician said, "Your Majesty, the three princes are in stable condition and have not taken any medicine."

This medicine comes in one pot, four bowls in total.

The emperor became suspicious and frowned slightly, "Why didn't you drink it?"

The Second Prince's heart sank. Did the Emperor suspect them? "Father, I was sleeping."

The Third Prince immediately explained, "Father, I have a poor appetite and don't want to drink bitter medicine."

The fourth prince also explained, "Father, I am uneasy and worried about my mother, so I don't want to drink anything."

The emperor's eyes are solemn, the eldest prince died suddenly, who is the biggest beneficiary?

Of course, it is the three princes in front of him. Now that one competitor is gone, who else can he suspect if not them?

"What exactly caused the eldest prince's sudden death?"

The chief physician cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the truth is clear. The eldest prince died suddenly after drinking the medicine prescribed by the ghost."

The ghost doctor snorted coldly, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could there be a problem with my medicine?"

A figure rushed over and said, "I'm going to fight you, go to hell."

It was Concubine Li, the eldest prince's biological mother, who pounced on the ghost doctor like a mad woman.

Yun Zheng screamed, "Be careful."

The ghost doctor put his hand on his waist, but hesitated for a moment and did not press it down. Instead, he dodged behind the doctor.

Li Guipin had no time to react and scratched the doctor's face, which was instantly covered in blood.

Doctor Wang shouted, "Princess Jinyun, are you aiding and abetting this evil? Or are you the mastermind?"

Yun Zheng looked at him deeply and said, "Doctor Wang, right? I'll remember you."

"Your Majesty, I have a few words to say."

If it were someone else, the emperor wouldn't want to hear a word, but with Yun Zheng, he was more patient.

"explain."

Yun Zheng's expression was cold. "Chief Doctor, have you read the ghost doctor's prescription? Are there any problems?"

"I saw it, but..." The doctor's face hurt so much, but he didn't dare to say anything. He was thinking, "Maybe I'm not well-educated and didn't understand it."

Yun Zheng snorted coldly, "You are the head of the Imperial Hospital and the most skilled physician in the Great Qi. Is it appropriate for you to say this?"

The doctor pursed his lips and said, "I'm not good at poison."

Yun Zheng raised an eyebrow. "You don't understand it, but you used this prescription?"

She is so sharp and grasps the key points keenly.

The emperor's eyes were terrifyingly cold.

The doctor closed his eyes and suppressed his complicated emotions, "Yes."

Yun Zheng loudly accused, "The Imperial Hospital has neglected its duties and disrespected the health of the princes. Your Majesty, please punish them."
