[The Ghost Doctor is the best poison doctor in the world. He can use poison to cure illnesses, but he can also use poison to kill people. His whereabouts are erratic, his personality is erratic, and he is difficult to get along with.]
The system looked up the information and replied.
"Then is the follower who suddenly appeared beside him really Su Song?"
【This system cannot confirm this yet.】
Su Wanti lowered her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. No matter whether it was true or not, there was at least a clue.
When the ghost doctor arrives in the capital and she meets the attendant, everything will become clear.
The capital city was still as bustling and lively as usual, but the palace was dead silent, like the calm before the storm.
This tranquility makes people feel suffocated, depressed and uneasy.
The palace gates were tightly closed and guarded by stiff, stern-faced soldiers; not even a fly could get in.
All the palace people were locked up in various palaces. The gates were nailed shut with wood and soldiers stood guard around them. If anyone sneaked out, they would be beheaded with swords, and the attacks were extremely cruel.
Shang Xingjian sneaked into the palace through a secret passage.
This secret passage leads directly to the Qinzheng Hall.
Emperor Ning was waiting for him in the palace.
Today, Emperor Ning suddenly had a headache and became unconscious.
After his pain subsided, the palace servants who served him looked unusual. Upon asking, he realized that his body had become stiff when he had a headache just now.
Emperor Ning remembered Prince Rui's words, became alert, and immediately called him into the palace.
"I clearly took the antidote you gave me, so why am I still experiencing the symptoms just now?" Emperor Ning did not doubt the eldest prince, he was just confused.
Shang Xingjian remembered that when Su Wanti gave him the antidote, she told him that Emperor Ning had been poisoned for some time and there were heavy toxins in his body. This antidote could remove most of the toxins, but a small amount of toxins would still remain.
The remaining toxins will be slowly metabolized through the body's circulation and will not turn Emperor Ning into a zombie.
"It might be the residual toxins that are causing the headache." Shang Xingjian said in a deep voice.
"Father, when this matter is settled, I will have Princess Huide come to the palace to show you."
Emperor Ning smiled and said, "Okay."
They all knew what they were going to face next and what kind of bloody storm would happen in the palace, but they both remained relaxed and calm.
"His Royal Highness Prince Ping requests an audience."
"Let him in." Emperor Ning's smile disappeared and he sat upright on the dragon throne.
The second prince, Prince Ping, was wearing armor and had a long sword at his waist. Several soldiers followed behind him, some of whom had pale faces and stiff movements.
As soon as he entered the door, a strong and murderous aura rushed in.
The jade pendant in Shang Xingjian's hand flashed darkly, reminding its owner that evil spirits were approaching and it was dangerous!
Shang Xingjian tightly grasped the jade pendant, and Su Wanti's smiling face flashed before his eyes. The sadness and regret caused by the fratricide between brothers disappeared, and was replaced by the determination to protect Daning and the people he loved.
Emperor Ning's gaze fell on those strange soldiers, and his eyes became colder.
When Prince Ping saw that Emperor Ning looked normal, a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.
This doubt lasted only a moment. He trusted his mother's ability. She could refine a zombie army for him in the capital. Even Xu Denggao, who was far away in Luzhou, could be controlled by her and refined into hundreds of zombie soldiers.
My father is just a mere emperor, no problem at all.
Today, my mother used her blood and power to cast a catalytic spell, and my father should have turned into a zombie. However, the true dragon emperor is different from ordinary people after all, so his zombie appearance should be different from that of ordinary zombies, King Ping thought.
"Father, please write down the edict that will pass on the throne to me, as well as your abdication edict."
King Ping used the most polite words to make the most unreasonable demands.
His mother burned his hair to ashes and added it to the potion for his father.
My father will obey his orders completely.
At this moment, Prince Ping stood straight, his back straight, his cold eyes glaring at Shang Xingjian across from him, and pointing a finger, he said, "Father, once you finish writing the edict, you will order Prince Rui to be executed."
Emperor Ning was so angry at his words that he laughed, picked up a pen and threw it at him.
"You are so confused!"
The pen was dipped in cinnabar and splashed on King Ping's face, leaving a red mark.
King Ping was shocked and realized that something was wrong. His father had not turned into a zombie yet!
There will be no problem with mother's magic, it must be that the time is not right. If I wait a little longer, father will completely turn into a zombie!
The top priority now is to control the palace and keep his father in his hands.
When the poison takes effect and my father completely turns into a zombie, and he writes the edict of succession, then the mission will be accomplished!
Prince Ping's eyes sparkled with ambition, and he issued an order to the soldiers behind him, "All officers and men, listen to my order! Tie up everyone in the Qinzheng Palace, except my father."
His voice was high and stirring, echoing in the hall.
"I obey your orders!"
“Hehe——”
The living people and zombies behind him all responded.
At this moment, King Ping felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction in his heart.
Suddenly, the door of the Qinzheng Hall opened and the Royal Guards strode in. In just a few seconds, they had taken control of Prince Ping's soldiers.
King Ping was confused. Weren’t these royal guards locked up by his zombie soldiers?
How come he appeared in Qinzheng Hall?
Emperor Ning looked at the dazed Second Prince and didn't want to say anything.
He waved his hand and called the palace servants, "Go and bring Concubine Li here."
Concubine Li was carried in by two palace servants, followed by a palace maid with shackles on her hands and feet.
"Empress Li is here!" The palace maid put down an old woman with white hair and a haggard look.
Prince Ping's eyes widened in shock, he couldn't believe it at all. "You are my mother? No! You are not my mother. My mother is a beauty of heaven, she doesn't look like an old witch like you at all!"
