Chapter 165: The King of Qi is deposed and cannot continue his family line
Several guards came over, helped the bleeding King of Qi up from the ground, and went straight to the King of Qi's palace.
A man's screams were heard from the side room of Prince Qi's mansion.
The King of Qi lay on the couch, unable to move in pain.
The arrow shot by Huo Xingzhi was very powerful, with an extremely sharp tip and coated with poison, which directly shot the King of Qi into a bloody mess.
Several doctors took great pains to pull out the arrow for the King of Qi.
Even if the doctor pulled out the arrow, the King of Qi would not be able to continue humanely.
"What's wrong?" King Qi asked the doctors in front of him with sweat on his forehead.
The doctors kept their lips tightly closed, shrunk their necks, and dared not look him in the eyes.
"This king asks you what happened, tell me the truth!"
The three or five doctors beside him were so scared that they immediately knelt down.
"Tell me, or I'll kill you!"
One of the doctors knelt on the ground and trembled, saying, "Your Highness, that arrow is extremely sharp. Even if we pull it out, I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of?" The King of Qi was in a state of panic.
If he cannot continue to be humane, he will not be able to inherit the throne in the future.
The royal family would not want someone who could not pass on his legacy to ascend the throne.
The doctor said, "I'm afraid your highness will not be able to continue being humane in the future."
"Furthermore, that sharp arrow is coated with a powerful poison, and the surrounding flesh and blood have been poisoned. If it is not removed, the poison will gradually spread and corrode the entire body."
The doctor's words made the King of Qi a little panicked.
Not only can he not be humane, but he also wants to remove it?
What kind of man is he if he gets removed?
He clenched his fists tightly and asked the black-clad guard beside him with gritted teeth.
"Have you found out who dared to kill me like this?"
The black-clad guard said, "Your Highness, this arrow hit an ordinary target and there's nothing special about it. Our people have investigated and haven't found the person who shot it."
"Useless thing, get out of here!" King Qi almost roared.
The black-clad guard was frightened by him and quickly left the room.
The King of Qi looked at the doctors before him and asked coldly, "Apart from this method, is there no other solution? Is there no way to cure this poison?"
The doctor lowered his head and did not dare to look at the King of Qi.
"Is there any?" the King of Qi shouted angrily.
The doctors knocked their heads heavily on the ground and said, "Your Highness, if we had it, we wouldn't be helpless."
"Your Highness is the future crown prince, we can only do our best!"
After the doctor finished speaking, the King of Qi collapsed on the bed.
It happened so suddenly that he found it hard to accept.
Just then, the door of the wing room was pushed open.
He is his personal bodyguard.
The guard walked up to the King of Qi and asked, "Your Majesty, how about we go find the imperial physician?"
"If it really doesn't work, let's send someone to Medicine King Valley. Perhaps the people there can cure your illness."
The King of Qi gritted his teeth, propped himself up, and looked at the guards.
"Go, go and call Duke Gao to me."
"I absolutely must not let my father find out about this. If he finds out that I'm inhumane in the future, he will definitely not let me enter the Eastern Palace."
"Yes, Your Highness." The black-clad guard went out and turned to go to the Duke's Mansion.
About a quarter of an hour later, Duke Gao hurried over.
As soon as Duke Gao entered the wing room, he saw four or five doctors kneeling in a row, with the body of a doctor lying on the ground.
The King of Qi was pale and leaned against the wall with an angry look.
The poison in his body was spreading everywhere, and he gritted his teeth to endure the pain.
After seeing the person coming, the King of Qi's originally distracted expression suddenly became focused.
Before Duke Gao arrived, he had already heard that he had been shot.
"Or we can ask the disciple of Divine Doctor Fengwu to come, or ask His Majesty to give Huo Lian."
"Disciple of Divine Doctor Fengwu?" King Qi sneered.
"That's Su Yuheng. Do you think she'll come? If she does, not only will the truth be exposed, but she might even come up with some bad ideas!"
"I'll be heading to the frontier soon. How can I handle this in this state?"
"If that bastard emperor knew what I'd become, the crown prince position would definitely fall to Huo Xingzhi and Prince Rui."
"You have to find a way for me."
Duke Gao clenched his fists tightly and walked slowly into the side room.
He looked at the doctor kneeling beside him and asked, "Do you know what poison His Highness was poisoned by?"
A doctor said, "Your Highness was poisoned by Bone-Erosion Powder. There is no antidote for this poison."
"Bone-Eroding Powder?" Duke Gao frowned. He had heard of it.
At this point, there is no other way.
The King of Qi lay on the couch, his eyes red.
"Send someone to Medicine King Valley and make sure to find Divine Doctor Feng Wu. Also, send someone to privately find a doctor who can detoxify you!"
"If I can't find a doctor who can detoxify me, or find Divine Doctor Fengwu, within three days, I'll have to follow the advice of these doctors. Otherwise, the poison will spread throughout my body and I'll die."
"Don't let a single word of this be leaked, let alone told to my father. Now that Zhang Nanyi is pregnant with my child, I can be considered to have a successor."
"Even if I am a eunuch, I can still be the emperor of Dayan."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
He finished speaking breathlessly, and then a guard hurried out to make arrangements.
"How is Su Yanqiu doing?" asked the King of Qi.
Duke Gao said, "Your Highness, I will find a way to fake his death tonight and get him out of prison."
King Qi: "That's good."
On the other side, after Huo Xingzhi returned to Prince Li's Mansion, Su Yuheng had already rested.
He washed up and lay down as usual.
Not long after, Bai Ze's voice was heard outside the room.
"Your Majesty, one of those people wants to see you."
Huo Xingzhi frowned, got up from the bed carefully, covered Su Yuheng with a quilt, and walked out of the room.
"Who is it?" Huo Xingzhi asked.
Bai Ze said: "That's the woman who had her tongue pulled out and several of her fingers cut off."
"She wrote a letter in blood, saying she wanted to see His Highness."
Huo Xingzhi glanced into the side room and saw Su Yuheng sleeping soundly.
"Okay, I'll accompany you to the outskirts of the city."
After Huo Xingzhi finished speaking, he hurried to the outskirts of the city with Bai Ze.
In the carriage, Bai Ze handed the information he had obtained from Tianji Pavilion to Huo Xingzhi.
"Your Highness, these are the identities of those people."
"However, the identity of one person remains unknown."
"Who is it?" Huo Xingzhi asked.
Bai Ze said: "That's the person I just mentioned."
Huo Xingzhi had a blank expression on his face as he searched for the image of that woman in his mind.
The feeling that woman gave her was too familiar.
It was so familiar that he seemed to have seen it somewhere.
"Who is she?"
Huo Xingzhi sighed and opened the letter that Bai Ze handed to him. When he saw the three words "Qi Lingzhou", his eyes lit up.
"The son of the richest man and Heng'er were born in the same year. During the last blood test, his blood was mixed with Heng'er's."
"It seems that Qi Lingzhou is indeed Heng'er's relative. However, I am very curious as to why he is in the Qi family."
After scanning the contents of the letter one by one, he handed the letter to Bai Ze.
Bai Ze asked: "Then Your Majesty, are you going to tell the princess and the Shen family about Qi Lingzhou's identity?"
"I'm afraid Qi Lingzhou won't be able to accept it for a while."
Huo Xingzhi said calmly, "Wait a while, then slowly tell Heng'er and Qi Lingzhou."
"Looking at Qi Lingzhou's appearance now, he probably doesn't know who he is."
"I'm afraid this matter needs to be handled carefully and slowly."
