Chapter 421 It’s too late for Murong Yi to regret
"Doctor Gu, how is the emperor? When will he wake up?"
In front of the dragon bed, the Ninth Eunuch and the Imperial Physician Gu also arrived. The two of them stood in front of the emperor, and immediately a minister came forward to ask.
Imperial Physician Gu glanced at the ministers, sighed, and shook his head, saying, "The Emperor is fine, he's just too tired. As for when he'll wake up, I don't know."
Imperial Physician Gu felt really sorry for the emperor. He had been plotted against by his own son time and time again, and his once healthy body was completely ruined. Even the magic pills and elixirs could not restore it to its previous condition.
Now it looks good on the surface, but it's like tofu on the inside.
But he couldn't tell the truth to the ministers. The emperor's health could still last a few months, so he just said it this way for now.
When the ministers heard that the emperor was in good health, they all breathed a sigh of relief. However, they didn't know when the emperor would wake up, so they all stood in front of the dragon bed in an orderly manner. No one left, and they all waited here for the emperor to wake up.
The emperor has been ill for such a long time, and the court and the palace are controlled by Murong Yi like the previous crown prince. Now that the crisis has finally been resolved, we have to wait for the emperor to wake up and ask him what happened.
If Murong Yi committed the same heinous crime, they, as his subjects, could not just stand by and watch him act recklessly.
Outside the palace, after Uncle Su shouted for a while, he felt that it was enough.
The ministers he called all supported Murong Li, so he turned around and rushed to the palace, not far behind Murong Yi.
As soon as Murong Yi entered the palace, he tried to contact his people while walking, but he found that he could not get in touch with them.
Even the commander of the personal guards could not be contacted.
Murong Yi became more and more anxious as he walked. He really wanted to turn back, but if he went back now, he would definitely be criticized.
Although he controlled the court and the palace before, he did not do anything out of the ordinary, unlike the former crown prince who made his purpose clear.
He openly told the ministers that the emperor was seriously ill and did not allow them to see the emperor, but he did not do anything else excessive.
No one knew about the secret threat to the emperor, not even the eunuchs serving the emperor and the shadow guards protecting the emperor in secret.
The eunuchs were sent away by him, and the shadow guards were tripped up by his people from Mingyue Pavilion, and they were not allowed to get close to the emperor's bedroom at all.
As for the personal guards, he took the token from the emperor, and he could easily find an excuse for this. The emperor is seriously ill now, and he is the only son in the capital. There is nothing wrong with him being in charge of the personal guards, and no one can say that he shouldn't do so.
When Murong Li thought of this, he felt much more relaxed and quickened his pace towards the emperor's bedroom.
When he arrived, he saw that the ministers of the court were already standing in the hall. It was so quiet inside that the emperor must have fallen asleep.
He was about to step into the hall when he was stopped by An Yi who suddenly jumped out.
"Prince Yi, please stop."
An Yi said in a deep voice, thinking that Murong Yi was so brave that he actually dared to come to the palace and didn't even think about escaping.
Murong Yi saw that it was a stranger who stopped him, and he frowned: "Who are you? How dare you block my way? Aren't you afraid that I will punish you for disrespect?"
Yin curled his lips and said, "Prince Yi wants to punish me, but you are not qualified. Anyone can enter here, but Prince Yi cannot. If you want to see the emperor, wait until he wakes up."
Who knows if this guy will take the opportunity to poison the emperor again after seeing that the poison has been cured? They came back to protect the emperor and would not allow Murong Yi to approach the emperor again.
Murong Yi was instantly furious when he heard this. What was this person saying? Wasn't this a slap in his face? What did he mean by anyone could enter but he couldn't? Wasn't this clearly telling everyone that he was the one with ulterior motives towards the emperor?
Even though it was true, but after it was said so clearly, how could he have the nerve to stay here?
He immediately shouted, "Who are you to dare to say such words to this king? Do you know what you mean by that? Do you want me to punish you for slander?"
An Yi said calmly, "I am a subordinate of Prince Li, and I came back to protect the emperor under Prince Li's order. So, please don't be angry, Prince Yi."
What he meant was that if he had anything to say, he should go and talk to King Li, he was just following orders.
"you……"
Murong Yi was furious at An Yi's words. So that was the case. He thought that the emperor had woken up on his own, found his remaining shadow guards, and made contact with the outside world.
But it was Murong Li again. How did he know that something happened to the emperor and how did he come back so timely?
He is really his nemesis. Murong Yi was so angry that his teeth were itching.
"Your servants greet Prince Yi."
The ministers inside and outside the hall were alarmed. Seeing that Murong Yi had arrived, they all came forward to take their luggage.
Murong Yi just waved to the ministers. He was too embarrassed to argue with Yan Yi any further, so he found a place to wait angrily.
He had to think of a way to break this situation. Once the emperor woke up, he would definitely punish him, but he could not escape. Once he escaped, he would be labeled a rebel and would never have a chance to become emperor.
Murong Yi hated Murong Li to death because he always came out to ruin his plans.
Seeing him like this, the ministers returned to the emperor's bed one after another. The ministers who came later saw this scene and said nothing. They stood behind those ministers and waited as well.
Master Su was almost the last to arrive. He saw the entire scene. He straightened his mind and came to Murong Yi, bowing and saying, "Your humble servant greets Prince Yi."
Murong Yi was a prince after all, and he was just a court official and had to pay his respects.
Murong Yi glared at him viciously. He had let this old man stay at home idle and asked Master Su to watch over him, but he still couldn't keep him under control.
It must be the old man who told Uncle Su to take the news to Murong Li. With Murong Li's speed, it would be no problem for him to make a round trip in about ten days.
He was regretting so much at this moment. Why didn't he think of this at the time? He should have killed the old man at that time. How could such a thing happen? Even if Murong Li came back, it was too late.
He is still a little too kind and not cruel enough.
He said gloomily, "Master Su, why is he making such a fuss here when he's not at home reflecting on his actions?"
Master Su said calmly, "Your Highness, what you said is true. As a minister of the Xifeng Kingdom, I should stand up when the emperor is in trouble. What do you mean by making a fuss?"
I would like to advise Prince Yi that when doing things, you must never go astray.
I will not disturb Prince Yi any longer. I will go in and wait for the Emperor to wake up. I will take my leave."
Uncle Su was just giving some good advice, considering that if Murong Yi committed a crime it would bring some trouble to the Su family. He said a few more words, but as for whether Murong Yi listened or not, that was none of his business.
Then he went straight into the hall and came to the emperor's bed. He hadn't seen the emperor for several days, but his face hadn't changed. He breathed a sigh of relief and waited silently on the side.
