Chapter 587 Is it necessary to poison?
Pei Shaorong felt a little uneasy and couldn't sleep, but she couldn't sit still. She wanted to go to Yichun Palace, but she looked at the time and felt embarrassed to disturb Muhua at this time.
In the end, she had to sit down and wait for time to pass. As soon as
the sky was slightly bright, she couldn't wait to sit in the sedan chair and came to Yichun Palace.
Xu Muhua was still yawning in front of the dressing table when she heard the servant report that the Crown Princess was coming. She stopped yawning halfway, stood up quickly, and went forward to greet her.
"Arong, why did you come here so early? Did you get angry with the prince again?"
Pei Shaorong glared at her, "What are you talking about? When did I get angry with the prince?"
She quickly said, "No, you didn't get angry with the prince, you were just playing with him!"
Pei Shaorong was not angry, nor was she not angry, because she knew she was teasing her.
After sitting down, Pei Shaorong whispered, "The prince was called away in the middle of the night, saying that something happened with the emperor, and I couldn't sleep. I wanted to come to find you, but you were probably sleeping soundly at that time, so I was embarrassed to come. I endured it until now, so I hurried over."
She was a little worried, but she didn't dare to say the doubt in her heart.
Xu Muhua said in surprise: "Something happened to the emperor? Why didn't I hear about it?"
"Once you fall asleep, you won't know if the sky falls!"
Xu Muhua asked without any embarrassment: "What's the situation with the emperor?"
"I don't know either. The prince hasn't come back, and he hasn't sent anyone back to tell me."
Xu Muhua frowned and pondered for a moment before saying: "How about this, let's go over after breakfast. You are the crown princess, so it's your duty to go over and take a look." "That's exactly what
I was thinking!"
The two of them were worried about the emperor's situation, so they quickly filled their stomachs and rushed to the emperor's bedroom.
Sure enough, when they arrived, there were already many people guarding the emperor's bedroom. Those
who should have come have all come, and some should have received the news, but they were too far away to make it. Some live outside the palace, and at least have to wait until the palace gates are opened before they can enter the palace.
Xu Muhua also saw Concubine Zhang in the crowd, but her face was always expressionless, so she didn't seem abrupt at this moment. When
the queen saw Pei Shaorong, her brows wrinkled: "Why are you here?"
"Mother, I heard that something happened to my father, so I came to see him because I was a little worried. What happened to my father?"
Pei Shaorong supported her waist and slowly walked to the queen, looking inside worriedly.
The queen pulled the corner of her mouth, "You are thoughtful, but you are in a heavy condition now, so it is most important to take care of yourself. There are many people guarding your father here. Doctor Yu and the prince are still inside."
The implication is that no one knows what is going on.
Pei Shaorong was a little surprised.
It has been two hours since the prince came from the East Palace, and he has not come out yet. Doctor Yu is still inside... She couldn't help but feel depressed.
The atmosphere outside was solemn, and the inside was also very tense.
When Doctor Yu just came, he found out that the emperor was poisoned!
This is a big deal!
The general manager immediately controlled the inside and outside of the palace, and also controlled the night watchmen.
When the prince came, he immediately started to interrogate them, but everyone knew nothing. The question was that the emperor was fine when he went to bed, and the same was true in the first half of the night.
The palace maid on night duty swore that the emperor was still sleeping soundly when she went up to check in the first half of the night. But when she went to check in the middle of the night, she found that the emperor was already covered in cold sweat and looked in pain.
Zhao Chengye was interrogating while paying attention to the situation of Doctor Yu.
But two hours passed, and nothing suspicious was found!
Every procedure was in compliance with regulations, and every step was very rigorous. There was no room for doubt in either people or things.
But the emperor was poisoned! And it was scorpion poison!
It was very toxic. If the emperor was in his prime and in good health, it would not be fatal. But the problem is that the emperor is already old and his body is still in a weak state.
This is a serious problem.
Doctor Yu tried hard for two hours, and finally knelt down: "Your Highness, I have tried my best. I am afraid that the emperor is..."
Zhao Chengye asked with a stern face: "Is there really no way at all? Can't this poison be detoxified?"
"Your Highness, detoxification takes time, and the premise is that the toxicity is not too low. But the poison in the emperor's body is too great, and the emperor's body is already in a weak state. He can't hold on for long!"
"Doctor Liu Yu, I order you, no matter what, you must do your best to detoxify your father!"
Zhao Chengye frowned, gave the steward a few instructions, turned around and walked out.
The people guarding outside surrounded him when they saw him coming out.
"How is the emperor?"
asked the queen.
"Doctor Liu Yu is still trying hard, father... father is not in good condition..."
The queen's body was unstable and swayed. Pei Shaorong, who was standing beside the queen, subconsciously reached out to support the queen, but she swayed again. Zhao Chengye was so scared that he quickly reached out to support her steadily.
The queen's eyes turned red instantly, and she let someone support her and walked in unsteadily. Pei Shaorong hesitated for a moment and followed her in.
Zhao Chengye glanced at the women in the room and said, "Either you wait here quietly, or go back to your own palace."
The prince said that the emperor was in a bad condition, who would dare to leave now!
Not long after the prince went in, some princes living outside the palace also hurried over with their princesses and children.
Upon hearing this, several princes rushed in.
"Father!"
After hearing what Doctor Liu Yu said, Prince Qin immediately attacked the Crown Prince, pointing his finger at him: "Prince, is it you? Did you poison Father?"
Zhao Chengye raised his eyelids lightly, "Prince Qin, be careful with your words! We are all very worried about Father, but you can't speak wildly just because you are worried about Father. I am the Crown Prince, do I need to poison him?"
"If we talk about the person who is most suspicious of poisoning, I think you are more suspicious! After all, you have a criminal record!"
The King of Qin certainly understood what he meant by a criminal record, but he would not admit it!
He said in a sinister tone: "Maybe the emperor regretted it and you found out, so you just went all out and poisoned the emperor!"
