"Prince Yu! Are you crazy?!" All the officials present were horrified, and some even grabbed their throats on the spot.
"Hahahaha—" Lu Zhichen laughed at their embarrassed appearance and stood up, his hands spread out, his eyes wide and bloodshot, "Am I crazy or are you crazy? I have done so much and you still only support a blind man! If you dare to stop me, you will die!"
"Since you have also gone blind, what use do I have for you?!"
Seeing that Lu Zhichen had gone completely mad, Lu Zhixing shouted, "Lu Zhichen! This country belongs to our father, it's not up to you to decide!"
Lu Zhichen looked at Lu Zhixing with red eyes, pointed at him and shouted, "Shut up! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have to do this! It's all because of you! It's all your fault! Come on! Kill him for me!"
"yes!"
All the soldiers raised their swords and took a step forward.
"stop!"
At the critical moment, a man pushed away the surrounding soldiers, and everyone looked back.
"Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!"
"Everyone, please stand up."
Lu Yanzhou glanced at Song Yushu, then stood behind the emperor and shouted, "Prince Yu! What are you doing?!"
"Father..." Lu Zhichen froze in place, wanting to argue, but no words came out when he opened his mouth. He knew that he was really finished, and fell to the ground.
The emperor looked at Lu Zhichen with disgust, "Is this how you entertain the prince of Boro Kingdom for me?! You have completely disgraced me!"
Lu Zhichen came into contact with the emperor's disgusted eyes and suddenly woke up. He knelt on the ground and crawled towards the emperor, "Father, Father! This is not my fault! It's Lu Zhixing's fault! If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have to--"
Before she could even crawl to the emperor's side, she was kicked away by the emperor, "Shut up! How long are you going to embarrass yourself?!"
"No, no, no, it's not my fault, it's really Lu Zhixing's fault. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be like this today!" Lu Zhichen's mind was already in a mess. He desperately wanted to beg for mercy, "Father, Father, Lu Zhixing's eyesight is good! He planned everything! Your son, your son fell into his trap!"
As Lu Zhixing's brother, Lu Zhichen had long been suspicious of him. How could a blind man move so freely? And how could he even think of participating in the fight for the throne?
Lu Zhichen looked at Lu Zhixing viciously. If he was going to die, he would drag Lu Zhixing to die with him!
He knew best how the emperor and the crown prince feared Lu Zhixing. If he were deposed, Lu Zhixing would be the crown prince's biggest obstacle. No one could rival Lu Zhixing in his prime!
As expected, the emperor was stunned when he heard this. He exchanged glances with Lu Yanzhou, then frowned and scolded, "What are you talking about? The imperial physician has already confirmed it! Prince Jing's eyesight is unlikely to improve!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Zhichen felt relieved. As expected, the person his father feared the most was Lu Zhixing!
Song Yushu looked at Lu Zhixing worriedly. Her father was concerned about this, so she held Lu Zhixing's cold hand tightly.
"We'll let the imperial physician take a look to see if it's okay." Lu Yanzhou waved his hand, and several imperial physicians emerged from behind them. "It's perfect for detoxifying the officials present. Prince Yu, you'd better confess what drug you gave us."
Lu Zhichen felt that he had something on Lu Zhixing and the emperor. He sneered, "I never poisoned them. Perhaps they ate the wrong food and had stomach upset."
Lu Yanzhou frowned and shook his head, then turned to the imperial doctors and said, "Go down and investigate what the poison is."
"Yes, Your Highness." A team of imperial doctors immediately went down to check on the condition of the officials present.
The emperor stared at Lu Zhixing, whose eyes were tied with ribbons, in silence. After a while, he whispered, "Come here! Check Prince Jing first to see if he has any injuries."
Doctor Fan, the head of the Imperial Hospital, came out from behind the emperor and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Doctor Fan forced himself to suppress his heart, pretending to be businesslike and approaching Prince Jing. He gestured for Lu Zhixing to untie the ribbon that bound his eyes himself, "Your Highness, Prince Jing, I'm sorry."
Lu Zhixing said nothing, standing straight. His aura was so low that even the emperor could feel it, let alone Doctor Fan.
"I am your subordinate." Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit cold, Song Yushu bowed to the emperor, then nodded to Doctor Fan. After all, she was not only the beloved one of King Jing, but also his chief historian.
Seeing Song Yushu so calm, Doctor Fan's trembling hands finally calmed down. He watched Song Yushu help Lu Zhixing remove the ribbon from his eyes, then took Lu Zhixing's pulse and asked Lu Zhixing to open his eyes.
"The energy flow is stagnant, the injuries are blocked, the eyes are dull and grayish-white. It is indeed a symptom of blindness." Doctor Fan deliberately raised his voice a little and described Lu Zhixing's symptoms.
Even though they were far away, Lu Zhixing's unusual eyes were still exposed to everyone.
How handsome King Jing was back then, with eyes that were unmatched. It is really sad to see him suddenly now.
"No! No! No!" Lu Zhichen's eyes widened in surprise, and he pointed at Doctor Fan and started to speak, "He's Lu Zhixing's man! He's lying!"
The Fan family has been an imperial physician for generations, and their medical skills are superb. They have served for several dynasties, and even the emperor had to show respect to them. Doctor Fan immediately turned around and knelt before the emperor, "Your Majesty, if you also don't trust me, you can ask all the doctors in the city to come and see if there is any other explanation!"
His words were well-reasoned and his expression was calm, all expressing his dissatisfaction with Prince Yu. The emperor immediately coughed lightly and said, "Lord Fan, please stand up. I have no doubts about you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Doctor Fan immediately expressed his gratitude and glared at Prince Yu with a look of dissatisfaction.
Although the emperor did not want Lu Zhichen to lose power completely, it was not easy for him to cover up for his actions today. It happened that Lu Zhixing was certain that there was no possibility of recovery from his blindness. Wouldn't it be better to support someone who would never be able to succeed to the throne than a madman?
The emperor's mind was filled with thoughts, but his expression turned cold. He angrily shouted at Lu Zhichen, "Prince Yu! Not only did you use Prince Banner's name to frame the prince, bringing shame to Dayan, but you also poisoned and threatened all the officials! Come! Take Prince Yu to the Heavenly Prison and have him tried on a later date!"
"Father, please spare me! Father, please spare me!" Lu Zhichen was dragged to his feet by the imperial guards and kept struggling. Seeing that his struggle was useless, he glared at Lu Zhixing viciously, "Do you think you will have a good life in the future?!"
"My fate will be yours in the future! I'm waiting to see your happy ending!"
