164. Chapter 164 I don’t want to be an official anymore



[A whole bottle, what's wrong? ]

"Guard You, His Majesty seems to be overworked and mentally unclear. Take His Majesty to find the imperial physician quickly." Su Yun called out to Guard You who was standing aside and acting indifferently.

Guard You did not move, but observed the emperor. Seeing that he did not seem to be pretending, he directly pressed the emperor's acupoints.

For fear that the emperor would talk nonsense and be heard by outsiders, Guard You pressed the mute point.

"My apologies, Your Majesty." He placed his fingers on the Emperor's wrist.

Then he put the knife on Su Yun's neck and shouted.

"Someone come!"

The eunuch waiting outside the door pushed it open and walked in.

Guard You ordered, "Go find the imperial physician quickly."

The eunuch ran too fast and fell to the ground, then crawled to his feet.

Su Yun was helpless.

[001, who put the drug in? A whole bottle?]

[Then why did Eunuch Li give you a bottle? ] 001 retorted, why didn't he finish the bottle and keep the rest as a snack?

[Give me a bottle and let me drink it little by little, so that I can remain calm!] Su Yun closed her eyes. She really didn't want to say anything more.

Guard You said coldly, "How did you poison His Majesty?"

"What kind of poison?" Su Yun pretended to be dumb. "Don't we need evidence to do things?"

Guard You snorted coldly and waited for the imperial physician to arrive to see how the palace maid would explain herself.

The imperial physician was a little old man who came hurriedly carrying a medicine box on his back.

He didn't even dare to breathe, just took the emperor's pulse.

The imperial physician wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "Your Majesty's poisoning was discovered early. As long as the remaining poison is cleared, there will be no serious problem. But..."

"But what?" Guard You asked

The imperial physician stammered, "But this medicine is too much, I'm afraid it won't be cleared up, I'm afraid it will... leave a hidden disease."

"Hurry up and detoxify His Majesty." After Guard You pressed Su Yun's acupoints, he carried the emperor to the couch.

The imperial physician gave him acupuncture and stopped after a while.

"Well, your majesty needs a good sleep." The old man was sweating profusely.

Guard You looked at the people present with his sharp eagle eyes.

"If this matter gets out today, you will lose your head!"

The imperial physician would not speak nonsense, and the eunuch nodded tremblingly in agreement.

Guard You pointed at the teacup and said, "Doctor Huang, can you please take a look at the teacup to see if there is any poison in it?"

Imperial Physician Huang examined it carefully and shook his head.

"This poison can make people lose their minds. It is colorless and tasteless. It can only be administered by swallowing. And it can be tested. But there is no poison in this teacup!"

Only then did Guard You unblock Su Yun's acupoints.

Su Yun rubbed her sore neck. Fortunately, Guard You was a reasonable man.

If someone is unreasonable, I will kill him regardless of whether you have evidence or not.

"You, are not allowed to leave. Wait until His Majesty wakes up!" Guard You crossed his arms across his chest, holding a big knife.

An hour later, the emperor woke up.

Imperial Physician Huang felt his pulse and was relieved to see that most of the toxins in his body had been forced out.

"When we get back, I will prescribe some more medicine for Your Majesty."

The emperor sat up silently, and when he recalled what he had said when he was not in his right mind, he looked straight at Su Yun.

When Guard You saw that the emperor was fine, he stepped forward.

He muttered something under his breath, and the emperor lowered his eyes.

"I'm fine, you did a great job on this."

[The emperor must have suspected me, but he has no evidence. If you have the guts, go and settle the score with the empress dowager. This medicine was also a trick of the empress dowager.]

Outside the door, General Zhao rubbed his forehead. The Queen Mother again? Yesterday, he had robbed the letters between Concubine Liu and Nan Yue.

In order not to arouse the suspicion of Liu's concubine, he even imitated the handwriting and returned the letter.

What exactly does the Queen Mother want to do? Not only does she want to frame him, but she is also trying to have someone drug the Emperor again?

In fact, no one knew that General Zhao was not loyal to the emperor, but to the Qin Dynasty.

If there is someone more suitable, he is willing to support them.

The young eunuch went in to report.

"Your Majesty, General Zhao requests an audience."

The emperor waved his hand, "Let him in. Except for Guard You, everyone else go out."

[Just go down, you keep bowing, it's like who wants to stay here. 】

Su Yun bowed, turned around and left.

Just then, General Zhao also came in and the two passed each other.

Zhao Taiwei sighed. He didn't want to be an official anymore. There was too much work and too little pay. If he wasn't careful, his life would be over.

He didn't want to stay here, but there was no other way.

Although they said they would let him go, they just waited outside.

The katydids kept chirping inside and Su Yun couldn't hear the conversation. She yawned out of boredom.

In the imperial study, General Zhao's face was full of concern.

"Your Majesty, I just saw that the Imperial Physician Huang has also arrived, but is the emperor not feeling well?"

The emperor was extremely suspicious, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

He had just taken the Chinese medicine when General Zhao arrived. What a coincidence.

The emperor asked, "I have nothing to do. I wonder why General Zhao wants to see me?"

The dog emperor is so suspicious. Why can't he come to you if there's nothing wrong? Perhaps he had heard too much of the inner voice, and Taiwei Zhao couldn't help but curse.

He really has something to do this time.

One is to tell the emperor about the frame-up.

The second is to mention in a subtle way that this matter was done by the Queen Mother.

General Zhao had no choice but to do this. If the emperor was really overthrown by the queen mother, the Qin Dynasty would be in civil strife, which was not what he wanted to see.

"Dog..." General Zhao wanted to slap himself in the face, but he smiled. "Is it enough? If the treasury is not full, I am willing to give out a year's salary."

The emperor looked at General Zhao strangely and temporarily let down his guard.

"It is very kind of you to have this heart, my dear."

"It's what I should do." General Zhao wanted to cry but had no tears. He was glad that he reacted quickly.

He took out two letters from his arms and handed them to Guard You.

"I came here for another matter."

"Oh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, took it and unfolded it.

General Zhao stood aside and explained what happened one by one.

The emperor slammed the table, suppressing the anger that was burning in his heart.

Queen Mother, it's Queen Mother again.

He already suspected that the Chinese medicine he took this time was the Queen Mother's trick.

Not only that, even Pingyang's inexplicable appearance on his dragon bed was probably the Queen Mother's doing.

She is the only one in the Qin Dynasty who can have such means and make it impossible for others to find evidence! "Don't alert the enemy, just pretend you don't know. If the Queen Mother really makes a move, we will use her as a tactic..." The emperor discussed the follow-up with her.

General Zhao nodded, and left after the discussion was completed.

When he reached the door, he paused and glanced at Su Yun.

Why aren't you complaining in your heart anymore?

Captain Zhao wanted to know some unknown things, so he slowed down his pace.

Su Yun was puzzled.

[What happened to General Zhao? Why is he walking with his legs tucked together? Is there some hidden illness? There are many concubines in the mansion, but Zhao Xuan is the only child after all these years.]

General Zhao stared and walked away with big strides.

He and his wife had already agreed to have only one child.

In order to keep his word, he even took sterilization pills.

What a bullshit hidden disease! Su Yun sighed as she looked at General Zhao's back.

[I really want to know what Taiwei Zhao's expression was when he knew Zhao Xuan became a live-in son-in-law, but unfortunately I can't see it. ]

Even if I return to the other world, I can't go back to Daqin, but it doesn't mean I won't be able to see it anymore.
