Chapter 258 The Emperor Detoxifies
"Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Gu has arrived."
At this moment, a young eunuch came in to report.
"Let Doctor Gu come in quickly." The emperor was overjoyed.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will go and call him right away."
The young eunuch hurried out. A moment later, Imperial Physician Gu came running in, holding the small porcelain bottle. He immediately knelt before the Emperor and said happily, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! This is 100% the real antidote. Would you like to take it now?"
"Okay, okay."
The emperor said "good" three times and said, "Bring it to me quickly and take it."
He couldn't wait even a moment longer. The feeling of dying was too horrible.
Murong Yi's lips curled up at this moment. He still didn't believe that the antidote was fake.
Doctor Gu immediately stood up, ran to the emperor's bed, poured out the pill, and held it in front of the emperor with both hands. The emperor pinched the pill with two fingers and looked at it. The pill was as big as a soybean, black and brown, and had a faint fragrance. He glanced at Murong Yi, gave a satisfied smile, and then put it in his mouth and swallowed it.
After taking the antidote, I felt my body relax, as if something was pulled out of my body. I no longer felt that life was being lost, and I felt full of energy.
The emperor moved his body and was able to move again. Overjoyed, he easily stretched out his left hand and said anxiously, "Doctor Gu, please quickly take my pulse and see how I am doing."
Doctor Gu did not expect that the antidote was like a panacea. After taking the antidote, the emperor was able to move again.
He was slightly suspicious and quickly took the emperor's pulse.
After taking the emperor's pulse, it was found that it was steady and strong, and the toxins in his body were no longer there.
It's amazing! Apart from being skinny, the emperor is in better health than before.
He said in surprise: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, the poison to your physical strength has been cured. Your Majesty, if you nourish your body a little every day, your flesh will grow back."
"Okay, okay, from now on, I'll leave the care to the fourth son's wife. I'm really happy today. Since everyone is here, I'll ask the imperial kitchen to prepare a table so we can have a family dinner."
The emperor was indeed very happy. He glanced at Murong Li who was standing there. The fourth brother was really his lucky star. If he had not been recalled to treat the prince, even if the fifth brother had the antidote, he would have been helpless.
So in fact, the greatest contribution goes to the fourth son and his wife, and the emperor is very clear about this.
He is like a man who has walked through the gates of hell. He is not as confused as before. He knows who is right and who is wrong, and he will definitely not do anything despicable in the future.
As for the arrangements for the fourth and fifth sons, his arrangement made sense. The fourth son followed him and learned how to govern a country and how to be an emperor, while the fifth son went to the Ministry of War, and it seemed that military power was within his reach. However, with just one word from him, the fifth son would get nothing. Letting him go was just like drawing a pie in the sky for him.
Between the fourth and fifth sons, the fourth son is more suitable to be the emperor, while the fifth son is not. He had already seen this a long time ago.
As for how others speculate his intentions, that is their business.
That was the result he wanted to see.
At the same time, it also calms Lao Wu's heart so that he won't have the mind to do anything bad.
The main reason was that the fourth child had not grown up yet, and the fifth child was used to doing small things, so he made that arrangement.
To be honest, when the fourth brother has enough ability to take the position, he will be willing to step down and let others take over.
After being the emperor for more than ten years, he was really tired of it.
Even if he holds the power of life and death, there will be times when he is powerless. After the prince's appearance, his desire for power is not so strong. Instead, he wants to use the remaining time to live a good life. You should leave the Murong family's kingdom to the fourth brother.
The fourth son and his wife both seem to be good people.
Afterwards, the emperor personally called the eunuch and asked him to go to the imperial kitchen, where they had a family dinner together in the evening.
The emperor was very happy and satisfied with his first meal.
Murong Li and the others could not interfere with what happened afterwards, so they handed it over to Concubine Yun. Su Yue left some spiritual spring water before leaving the palace with Murong Li.
She didn't mind the emperor drinking her spiritual spring water every day, she just wanted to make him dependent and addicted.
As soon as they came out, Murong Yi followed.
"Welcome back, Fourth Brother."
Murong Yi took a few steps forward, caught up with Murong Li and walked side by side with him.
Murong Li glanced at him calmly and said, "Thanks to my fifth brother, we are finally back."
They encountered countless robberies and assassinations along the way, and at least five of them were his. This guy still had the nerve to come and tell him this. People with thick skin are really different.
If he is not embarrassed, then it is others who are embarrassed.
Murong Yi pretended not to understand what Murong Li meant, and laughed, "It's good that Fourth Brother is back. From now on, it's just the two of us. We have to help Father share his worries."
"Fifth brother is right. We, the Murong royal family, really can't afford to stir up trouble any more. If we continue to stir up trouble, who knows who will be the one to take the blame."
Murong Li smiled awkwardly this time: "Don't worry, Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother will not argue with you, I will only support you."
Murong Li patted his shoulder, used a bit of his inner strength, and said meaningfully: "If Fifth Brother can defeat me, I will support you."
The meaning is clear, whoever has the ability will take the position.
Anyway, there are only two of them now, so there is no need to hide anything.
Murong Yi's shoulders slumped and he frowned. Was this a way to intimidate him?
A warrior who only knows how to use violence, he snorted in his heart, and wait and see.
"Hehe... Fourth brother has returned but hasn't returned to the palace yet, right? Fifth brother won't keep you any longer. I'll come to bother you another day."
After saying that, he glanced at Su Yue, bowed to the two of them, and walked away quickly.
Murong Li and the other man looked at him and felt like he was about to run away. They shook their heads and thought that he deserved it because he had asked for trouble.
When the two of them left the palace, Jiang Bo was already waiting at the palace gate.
"My Lord and Princess, please mount your horses."
The two nodded and got on the carriage. Jiang Bo drove away.
Murong Li's palace was still the same palace as before. When he came back, the palace had changed a lot and everything it needed had been arranged.
"Your Highness, the courtyard you used to live in has been decorated. Are you going back to it now?"
As soon as he entered the palace, Jiang Bo asked.
"Let's go back to the yard first and ask someone to bring some water."
After a tiring day today, both of us are very tired and just want to have a good sleep.
Jiang Bo: "The hot water has been prepared long ago, waiting for the prince and princess to return."
"Okay then, Uncle Jiang can make the arrangements, and we'll just go back by ourselves."
"yes."
After Jiang Bo left, Murong Li took Su Yue's hand and walked towards his original courtyard.
Life is so unpredictable. It's only been a year since I left, and now I'm back. Looking at everything familiar in the yard, Murong Li feels that everything before was like a dream.
