Lin Muheng slowly stopped in his tracks, sensing that his father seemed unwilling to speak at this moment.
Then he called out softly, "Father!"
His gaze then fell upon Emperor Rongsheng, only to find him staring at him with his eyes wide open.
Emperor Rong Sheng slightly raised his hand, beckoned to Lin Muheng, and said, "Come here!"
The sound wasn't loud, but it carried an irresistible force.
Emperor Rongsheng has been sleeping these days.
Now, he's had enough sleep and doesn't want to continue sleeping like this.
He feared that if he fell into a deep sleep again, he might never wake up again.
Thinking of this, Emperor Rongsheng couldn't help but glance at Imperial Physician Zhou standing to the side.
Upon seeing this, Imperial Physician Zhou immediately understood and tactfully turned and left the inner room.
At the same time, Wang Defu, who had been waiting nearby, hurriedly waved to signal all the eunuchs and palace maids to leave.
Jiang Chuwei bowed respectfully and then prepared to leave the hall.
After all, this was a matter between the father and son, and she was unwilling to get too involved.
However, at this moment, Emperor Rongsheng suddenly spoke up and said, "Princess Consort Yu, please stay as well."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuwei was taken aback and looked at the emperor with a puzzled expression, unable to fathom what his intentions were.
But since the emperor had spoken, she had no choice but to obediently stay where she was.
Lin Muheng didn't know what the emperor wanted to do, but seeing that the emperor wanted to sit up, he immediately stepped forward, carefully helped his father up, and asked with concern, "Father, how are you feeling?"
Jiang Chuwei then asked, "Father, are you feeling unwell?"
Emperor Rongsheng waved his hand gently and said, "It's alright!"
Then, he turned his gaze to Lin Muheng and asked with a serious expression, "How did you know I was poisoned?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Muheng was stunned.
Could it be that Father Emperor is doubting him?
In an instant, a variety of thoughts flooded my mind. Sure enough, it was still that suspicious father.
However, Emperor Rongsheng quickly realized his son's thoughts and hurriedly explained, "Don't misunderstand, of course I believe you. It's just that I'm very curious how you found out about this?"
What he didn't ask was whether they were also dreaming.
Jiang Chuwei answered without hesitation, "Father, it was I who saw it."
Emperor Rongsheng had personally witnessed her medical skills, so it was not surprising that she could spot the signs of poisoning at a glance.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Rongsheng immediately believed it without a doubt.
Emperor Rongsheng's expression turned solemn, and he said, "You must listen carefully to every word I say from now on!"
Jiang Chuwei nodded slightly, indicating that she understood.
Emperor Rongsheng turned to look at her and asked, "Does the Princess Consort of Yu know what kind of poison I have been given?"
Jiang Chuwei calmly replied, "As far as I know, this is a kind of deadly poison from a foreign land. It is colorless and odorless, and is extremely difficult for ordinary people to detect."
Emperor Rongsheng nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Indeed, this poison originated from a foreign land. And it was actually introduced to our dynasty by a Taoist priest. Since ancient times, Taoist priests have often been skilled in both medicine and poison. This Taoist priest is not only highly skilled in medicine, but also quite adept at poisons."
Upon hearing this, Lin Muheng, who had been silent all along, looked astonished and couldn't help but ask, "Father, how did you find out about this?"
Emperor Rongsheng took a deep breath and slowly replied, "I saw it in a dream."
Lin Muheng was dumbfounded. How could the princess dream of things that hadn't even happened yet, and why could his father do the same? What secrets were hidden behind this?
Jiang Chuwei was even more astonished at this moment. The reason she knew about these things was because she had personally experienced them in her previous life.
However, Emperor Rongsheng was able to see through everything simply by taking a nap.
Could it be... that he, like himself, has been reborn and returned?
Thinking of this, Jiang Chuwei felt her heart suddenly race, and a thin layer of sweat involuntarily seeped out from her forehead.
If Emperor Rongsheng had also been reborn, he would certainly know that the current situation is different from that of his previous life.
At least, in her previous life, she never married Lin Muheng.
So many things are completely different in this life.
Because of this, she couldn't help but feel uneasy. Would the emperor suspect her because of these changes?
Jiang Chuwei secretly observed Emperor Rongsheng.
If it's a rebirth, there should be some differences!
At this moment, the emperor spoke up: "I remember it very clearly in my dream. I had someone draw a picture of the Taoist priest's appearance. You must immediately take men to arrest him and bring him to justice."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will obey your decree!" Lin Muheng replied respectfully, but then the emperor added, "However, remember to avoid Prince Jin when you take action."
Upon hearing this, Lin Muheng couldn't help but look suspicious, his gaze fixed on his father.
The emperor's face was grim, and he said through gritted teeth, "That's right, the poison I was poisoned by was from him. However, we need to capture that Taoist priest first, and then let him confront Prince Jin."
Lin Muheng's heart tightened, and he quickly cupped his hands and advised, "Father, is it not a bit rash and reckless of you to conclude that this matter was done by Prince Jin based solely on what you saw in your dream? I hope that you will think twice before acting!"
Lin Muheng was genuinely worried that his father was simply blinded by anger and making a wrong judgment in a moment of impulsiveness.
But the emperor snorted coldly and said in a deep voice, "This is a warning given to me by our ancestors. The truth will come to light with a little investigation."
