Chapter 239 Reshuffle
"Doctor Wei Yu, please call Dean Yan to me again... No, call Dean Yan to me."
If Doctor Wei Yu could diagnose some problem, he would not have been so hesitant just now.
So, it was Doctor Wei Yu's incompetence that made him fail.
"Wait a minute."
The prince stopped the emperor from summoning Dean Yan.
The Dean should naturally be the one with the most experience and the most sophisticated medical skills in the Wei Hospital.
Since everyone knew it, why did the queen still summon Doctor Wei Yu but not Dean Yan to the palace?
The answer is obvious.
"Father, please listen to what I have to say. Dean Yan should not know about this matter."
The prince especially wanted to tell the emperor that they had just started,
and there would be more things that would surprise the emperor.
Wei Yu tightened his neck and secretly said, "Oh no! I seem to have gotten myself into something fatal."
The emperor, who had been through the bloody storm earlier than the prince, understood the prince's meaning almost instantly.
His face not only drooped, but also turned frighteningly black:
"Is this not an accident?"
The Queen said: "After the concubine and the prince found out that there was something wrong with Fenghuang Yufei, we first investigated it without the emperor's knowledge."
"Perhaps someone did mix licorice and gansui into Fenghuang Yufei in a hurry today because of the palace banquet." "
But according to my investigation, on ordinary days when the emperor drinks Fenghuang Yufei, there must be a dish on the table that is mixed with gansui."
"As long as the emperor eats these two dishes at the same time on the same day, the effect will be the same as putting them together."
If there is less mixed, the poison cannot be detected. If
it is divided into two dishes, even if the inspector racks his brains, he will not be able to figure out how the emperor was poisoned.
The emperor was shocked.
Licorice and gansui are mixed together to form a poison. Someone even deliberately separated them into two dishes and arranged them in the same meal,
so that he would be slowly poisoned without knowing it, and
the poison would get deeper and deeper! It turns out that there are cunning people who want to kill me!
"How dare you!"
The emperor was so angry that he wanted to kill someone:
"Pass the order down, arrest the chef who arranged the meal for me, and then torture him severely."
"I want to know, who is so bold as to dare to poison me like this?!"
"Yes, father."
The prince's people had been waiting to take down the chef after receiving the emperor's order.
Even though he had not taken action before, the prince ordered people to keep a close eye on the chef, not to let him run away, let alone die.
The prince thought that he had made all the arrangements, and this chef would definitely not be able to escape.
But when his people and the palace guards came back, they returned empty-handed:
"Reporting to the emperor, that chef... has hanged himself to death."
"I have failed in my work, please punish me, Your Majesty."
The prince did not believe it: "Did he really hang himself to death?"
The guards raised their heads and explained: "He died of a broken neck."
As for whether he hanged himself or was strangled to death, they could not say, because both were possible.
"Didn't I ask you to send someone to watch it?"
So, how did the person die under their noses.
The guards knew they had failed in their duty and answered honestly:
"Although we have been monitoring the chef, he did not go in or out. However, a maid went to look for him and came out after a while."
The maid was skinny, while the chef was a fat and strong man.
They did not think much about it at first, but they never expected that
the chef would disappear after the maid went in and out.
Even if there is no evidence, those who understand will understand what happened.
But in front of the emperor, the empress and the prince, the guards did not dare to speak out their guesses casually.
If they did not say it well, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor.
"What about the maid?"
The emperor's voice was cold.
The soup of Phoenix Yufei was poisonous, but he didn't know it until just now, after drinking it for a long time.
So how did the mastermind get rid of Yu Chu before them, kill people and silence them?
The person who poisoned him was so alert?
There was no news at all!
"To reply to the emperor, the palace maid fell into the well and died..."
After discovering that Yu Chu was dead, the guards hurried to capture the only palace maid who had looked for Yu Chu in order to atone for their crime.
However, when they found the person, the body of the palace maid who was soaking in the well was almost cold.
"Good, that's really good."
"This imperial palace is leaky."
"I just found out about this, but the people who attacked me have already been killed, leaving no evidence?!"
"Is this the end of my poisoning? You have no clues and can't investigate further?!" What a bunch of good-for-nothings! The emperor couldn't even recover from such an ingenious poisoning plot, and all the people who did it were cleaned up, which made the emperor even more shocked. Not to mention that the person who poisoned him was so shrewd, he could come and go freely in his harem
without being restricted by palace rules. How could the emperor not worry when he didn't even know who this terrible enemy was? "I am guilty." The guards knelt down firmly, begging the emperor for mercy. "Get out." The emperor felt his eyes hurt when he looked at these useless guards.
After driving away the guards, the emperor did not glance at the equally insignificant Wei Yu doctor,
but looked at the empress and the prince with a slightly relaxed expression:
"Thanks to Zi Tong and the prince for their carefulness, you were able to discover the evil plot of the villain."
"Otherwise, one day I might be poisoned and dying, and I still don't know how I was poisoned?"
When the emperor thought that he, the king of a country, didn't even know how he died,
whether it was the dead chef and the palace maid, or the kneeling Wei Yu doctor who dared not get up, he
wanted to punish them all with the crime of exterminating the nine clans.
He got Zhu Xuntao, a capable person, to encourage him to govern the country, create the prosperous era of Dayong, and be respected by the people
. Who would have thought that his grand ambitions and hegemony had only just begun, and someone wanted to put an end to it.
This crime is unforgivable!
The more the emperor thought about it, the more fortunate he felt. He was fortunate that the empress and the prince were usually reliable and had good character.
If he had only sought happiness today and was busy flirting with his new lover, leaving the empress aside,
how long would he have to eat this poisonous soup and poisonous grass?
As an emperor who cherishes his life, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she can never be more important than his own life.
Therefore, the emperor's eyes were naturally different when he looked at the empress and the prince at this time.
The empress's expression did not change, neither happy nor sad.
Just like when the emperor was called to step into her palace gate just now, his face was full of impatience and disgust, and
the empress just pretended that she did not see it at all, let alone understand it, and did not take it to heart at all.
Men's love is illusory, and the emperor's pity is even more illusory.
Back then, she chose the emperor instead of the one her parents picked for her
because of the love and affection that the emperor, who was not yet a prince ,
