Sure enough, when this was mentioned, His Highness really didn't care about what he had just asked, but tapped the table with his fingers, motioning Liu Ziqing to look over.
There was a brocade handkerchief placed on the small-leaf red sandalwood table, and a brown pill lay in the middle of the white handkerchief.
"What is this...?" Liu Ziqing was stunned, obviously not understanding Huo Cenji's intention.
"This is the medicine your majesty has been taking. I called you here to see if there is anything wrong with it."
Huo Cenji couldn't help but think about it, especially when Liu Ziqing said in person that Tang Yu had been poisoned since childhood.
Therefore, when the assassin came to report Tang Yu's every move to him as usual, his attention was instantly focused on the pills mentioned by the assassin.
"Did you bring it?"
"Yes." The assassin nodded and took out a silk handkerchief carefully wrapped with pills from his arms.
So, this was something that Liu Ziqing could check out.
Liu Ziqing walked over and took a look at it first. Before he picked it up for a closer look, he casually asked:
"Is this a gift from the Imperial Hospital to Your Majesty?"
"...No, it was specially made by His Majesty's mother."
Liu Ziqing: "..."
So, Your Highness, are you doubting the biological mother of the little emperor?
*
Although Liu Ziqing was surprised for a moment, he quickly regained his composure.
What's the big deal? As long as His Highness meets the little emperor, nothing is impossible.
So what's wrong with Your Highness suspecting the little emperor's mother?
It totally makes sense.
Liu Ziqing has become numb and has even started to find reasons to comfort himself.
However, he still looked at the brown pill carefully and professionally. When the strange fragrance of the pill hit his face, Liu Ziqing's face became rare and solemn.
Huo Cenji frowned unconsciously when he saw this, but the next second he restrained himself and asked in a light tone:
"But you noticed something was wrong?"
Liu Ziqing put the pill back on the table, then nodded seriously:
"Something is wrong. This pill is poisonous, but—"
“It’s also a good medicine that can save lives.”
"What do you mean?" Huo Cenji clenched his hands and looked up suddenly.
Liu Ziqing did not make an absolute assertion, but rather expressed some speculation in his tone:
"I have seen my master develop this medicine before, but it has been a long time since I last remembered it, and I don't know if I remembered it wrongly, so please give me some more time, Your Highness." Liu Ziqing spoke sincerely, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.
This was probably the subconscious reaction of someone obsessed with medicine. Liu Ziqing felt his blood boiling and he wanted to pick up the pill and rush back to observe it carefully.
"Okay, but do it as soon as possible." Huo Cenji's low voice seemed to be a little tired, but in a flash it seemed like Liu Ziqing's illusion.
As Huo Cenji slowly sat down and leaned back in his chair, the shadow cast on the ground suddenly shrank. Liu Ziqing suddenly felt that the regent who was so intimidating in front of the generals seemed to have a sense of brokenness.
Alas, Your Highness is truly deeply in love.
Liu Ziqing sighed softly in his heart, then picked up the handkerchief and retreated quietly.
When Huo Cenji was the only one left in the room, he lowered his head and smiled self-deprecatingly.
He actually began to suspect Tang Yu's mother.
Haha, as expected, once Tang Yu was involved, he seemed to lose his mind and acted as recklessly as a young man in his prime.
The piles of documents on the table almost blocked Huo Cenji's figure. After a long time, the still time finally flowed, and the stiff figure finally moved.
Huo Cenji opened the memorial with an expressionless face and picked up the red pen to write.
At the same time——
Tang Yu lazily turned over on the soft bed.
Through the graceful pearl curtain, Tang Yu could vaguely see the young attendant standing upright outside by leaning sideways.
Ever since they were stopped by the guards, the young attendant had become like that when he returned—
A face full of guilt and regret.
It seems that the young attendant felt so uncomfortable because he took all the responsibility on himself.
So Tang Yu was about to call someone over to comfort him when he saw the young attendant suddenly fall limply to the ground.
Tang Yu sat up quickly and called out twice tentatively, but there was no response at all.
Tang Yu felt something was wrong. The room was too quiet, not to mention that the young attendant had fallen to the ground for unknown reasons just a second ago.
Is anyone there?
Who could it be?
If it was someone sent by Huo Cenji, he should not touch the people around him.
After eliminating Huo Cenji, the only thing Tang Yu could think of was his enemy.
However, as the emperor, it is inevitable to have enemies, so Tang Yu has no specific candidate in mind.
Guessing that Huo Cenji would have someone keep an eye on him, Tang Yu decided to take a gamble and tentatively called out "Huo Cenji"'s name a few times.
If there were someone like Huo Cenji around him, he would definitely not remain indifferent.
As it turned out, Tang Yu was right.
The assassin who was watching all this secretly saw with his own eyes that a flying silver needle pierced the young attendant's neck, and then the young attendant fell to the ground and lost consciousness.
The assassin's natural sensitivity allowed him to realize that there was definitely more than one lurker in the palace, so he secretly sent out a signal, preparing to let his companions come here.
But just after he gave the signal, he heard the little emperor calling out His Highness's name over and over again.
He hesitated for a moment, but still chose not to show up.
He can't be exposed in advance.
He would have to wait until more people arrived before he could have the possibility of protecting the little emperor.
