Chapter 279: Can the lower official save the emperor?
/>O It was Concubine Hui who spoke first, and she looked at Shen Zhao excitedly.
"General Chu, are you trying to save the Emperor?"
The imperial physicians all said that the emperor's time was up, but she didn't believe it.
The emperor had clearly promised her that once he caught those evildoers, he would pass the throne to the crown prince.
Then I will take her and the prince to travel around the beautiful mountains and rivers of Southern Chu.
To make up for the years of debt owed to them and their son.
How could he go back on his word?
How could he abandon her!
He understands this kind of heart-wrenching pain!
As long as the emperor can wake up.
She no longer wanted anything, no longer asked for anything.
The voices of the crowd also exploded in Shen Zhao's mind.
[Woo woo... Heaven has bestowed upon this man a great responsibility. General Chu is truly a good man.
Stand up and take the blame for us. Even if the emperor really dies, it has nothing to do with us imperial doctors. It was General Chu who killed him.
[Finally, he doesn't have to die. After General Chu is executed, I will definitely erect a longevity tablet for him, light a perpetual lamp, and offer three sticks of incense every day.]
These were clearly the tearful expressions of the imperial physicians.
[Why is this blockhead joining in the fun? Isn't it chaotic enough? Is he afraid that someone won't be able to find something to hold against him?]
Duke Xie thought to himself, then glared at Chu Mu fiercely. Although there was anger in his eyes, there was also some worry hidden in it.
[Brother Chu, what else is he hiding from me?! He actually knows medical skills!]
This was the shocked voice from Xie Yuheng.
[This guy surnamed Chu is courting his own death. It's fine this way. Even if this guy surnamed Chu knows something about me, what good will it do?]
Shen Zhao spoke amidst the various voices of the crowd.
"I don't know any medical skills, but there are people in my family who do."
When she was in a hurry to leave the general's mansion just now, she heard Li Yuwan's last words.
[You fooled me, you bastard system! Feng Li’s 10 points of favorability can only be exchanged for a life-saving pill.
What's the use of this life-saving pill for me! Fengli has her own medical system. As long as the person is not dead, her super-century medical system can bring them back to life!
At that time, she didn't have time to be shocked before she followed the palace servants into the carriage to the palace.
Li Yuwan has a life-saving pill in her hand.
Feng Li has a medical system that can save anyone who is not dead.
If the two of them came, the old emperor would be saved.
There was a clear flash of disappointment in Concubine Hui's eyes.
Just now when Chu Mu asked him to give it a try, Concubine Hui actually thought the same as Xie Yuheng, that General Chu knew medical skills.
And he is a hidden master.
She knew that there was an old doctor who came down from the mountains in Chu Mu's mansion.
She has already sent someone to invite him.
"General Chu, you are talking about the old doctor who came down the mountain a few days ago. I have already sent palace servants to invite him."
As soon as Concubine Hui finished speaking, the Queen's stern and gloomy voice came.
"Noble Concubine Hui, do you still have eyes for me, the Empress? How dare you summon a doctor from outside the palace? Do you know his background? If he harms the Emperor, what will be your punishment?"
As he spoke, he glared at Shen Zhao.
"General Chu, I heard what you just said. If you can save the emperor, I will reward you handsomely. But if you can't, you will be buried with the emperor!"
It was all his fault that Qian Meng was imprisoned in Dali Temple. She wanted his life today!
Chen Zhao listened to the Queen's thoughts and said with a bow:
"Your Majesty, I really doubt who assassinated the Emperor. I want to save His Majesty, but Your Majesty is threatening me with my life.
Who dares to stand up and save His Majesty? "
"How dare you!" the queen shouted coldly.
Shen Zhao replied meaningfully, "When it comes to being presumptuous, I can't compare to Eunuch Su and Princess Yanran who are beside the Empress!"
The queen's heart tightened.
What does he know?
No!
Only the prince and Qian Meng knew their identities, and no one else knew them.
"General Chu, you are provoking me and defying the imperial authority. I can punish you right now."
Shen Zhao looked straight at the queen, with an all-knowing expression on his face.
"It's not you who defied the Emperor's authority, but someone else! Your Majesty, do you know that the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs?"
"General Chu, please stop slandering me. When have I ever been involved in state affairs?"
Chen Zhao said calmly, "Now."
Everyone was shocked.
"Is Chu trying to save his life? The emperor is in danger, and the throne will be inherited by the crown prince. If he offends the queen now, isn't he afraid that he will be the first target when the crown prince ascends the throne?"
[No matter how much a lump of wood changes, it's still essentially a lump of wood. Can't he see the current situation clearly? He even dares to go against the Queen. He must be eager to apologize to His Majesty!]
Shen Zhao deliberately set his sights on Eunuch Su.
He spoke word by word:
"I suspect that the assassination of the emperor was the work of the traitors who escaped that year. Those people may have thought they were hiding well, but they didn't realize that they had already exposed their true colors.
Your Majesty, do you think the assassination of the Emperor by a traitorous minister can be considered a matter of state?"
"You...are making excuses!" A hint of nervousness flashed in the queen's eyes.
What on earth does this guy named Chu know!
When she called the prince a traitor, she stared at him without blinking.
Shen Zhao heard the Queen's thoughts and knew that she had some concerns.
He asked again, "Please, Your Majesty, send guards to my residence to invite the miraculous doctor Li Yuwan."
She deliberately pushed Li Yuwan out, and she must have been very happy.
Shen Zhao was not sure whether the Queen and others had met Feng Li, so he did not dare to let Feng Li show herself in front of everyone easily.
The most important thing now is to save the old emperor's life.
The old emperor's anxious and moving voice rang in Shen Zhao's mind.
[You are indeed my good subject. You dared to confront the vicious woman in order to save me.
When I wake up, I will definitely reward you.]
Concubine Hui ignored the Queen's obstruction and sent her palace maids to the General's Mansion to ask for someone.
The queen wanted to stop it, but was persuaded by Duke Xie and Grand Tutor Pang.
Duke Xie took two steps forward and said:
"Empress, as General Chu said, the assassination of the emperor was the work of the traitors who escaped that year. This is a matter for the imperial court.
If the Empress continued to interfere and obstruct the matter, she would have violated a taboo in the palace. The concubines in the harem meddling in government affairs would even make the old ministers and others very suspicious. The Empress stopped General Chu from rescuing the Emperor.
Could it be that the assassination of the emperor is related to the Empress?"
Duke Xie didn't care at all about what others didn't dare to say.
The Queen was about to speak when she heard Master Pang say:
"Your Majesty, please consider the overall situation. All the ministers are watching here.
Your Majesty, please think twice before you act, and don't let your good intentions be misinterpreted."
The queen snorted coldly. She knew very well what she had done.
The emperor couldn't wake up no matter what.
Not only did she stab the sword into the old emperor's vitals, she also smeared poison on the sword. Even if a great immortal was still alive, the emperor would die today.
The Queen took a deep look at the dying Emperor and said, "Your Majesty and I were a young couple, and have walked hand in hand for decades.
How could I watch His Majesty leave? If the Imperial Concubine insists on asking the General for help, I won't stop her. But if His Majesty gets into trouble... because of this, I want everyone in the General's Mansion to be buried with His Majesty."
