Chapter 173: Not Wanting to Save the Emperor



No one expected this to happen. They all stood there in a daze, looking at Aunt Su who had fallen to the ground in surprise.

Rong Xiu laughed sneerly: "What's going on here? Lord Hua, could it be that your wife saw that the truth had been revealed and wanted to pretend to faint to escape?"

He deliberately called Aunt Su "Madam", which made the people from both the Xu and Hua families tremble with fear and they looked at Aunt Su with even more unfriendly eyes.

The Xu family had always looked down on Aunt Su, and now they hated her even more.

She was just a prostitute, yet she dreamed of becoming the prime minister's wife! She even killed their daughter!

The Hua family also felt ashamed. What kind of place is this? This is the imperial study! It's ok for Su to play tricks in the backyard, but how dare she pretend to be dizzy and fool people in the imperial study?

"Miss Hua, Doctor Wu." Rong Xiu enjoyed watching the fun and secretly instigated them.

"Don't just stand there and watch! Don't we need two injections for emergency treatment?" Rong Xiu said maliciously.

Hua Yuanshan was also anxious. Why didn't she realize that her aunt was so stupid before? Being petty at this time was just adding fuel to the fire! She only knew how to embarrass her!

Hua Yuanshan gritted her teeth and was about to stand up to help Aunt Su cover up, but Aunt Su suddenly raised her voice and sat up.

"I am so scared. Maybe I have fallen ill again and fainted. I have disturbed you all." Aunt Su widened her eyes anxiously and clenched her fingertips tightly.

"Your illness will go away quickly as it comes." Rong Xiu then teased, "What's wrong with you?"

Aunt Su raised her lips slightly, pretending to be uneasy, and replied in a low voice: "I, I just feel dizzy, and I just woke up because of the tingling in my fingertips..."

She changed the subject and looked down at Xu Wanqing's body, her face turning pale in an instant.

Doctor Wu followed her gaze, his expression suddenly changed, and he hurried forward to press his hand on Xu Wanqing's chest.

——Could the cause of death be hidden under this skin!

Doctor Wu felt something was wrong and turned to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I found a sharp object in Miss Xu's chest. I request an autopsy to determine the cause of death!"

The emperor nodded with his eyes half closed, looking increasingly tired.

Doctor Wu had the experience from last time, so he was very skilled this time. He easily cut open Xu Wanqing's heart and pulled out the long needle.

Aunt Su covered her face with her sleeves to hide the corners of her mouth that were constantly rising.

She always seeks to be cautious in doing things, so how could she not leave herself any way out?

This Hua Yuanzhao is really stupid. He didn't even notice such an obvious flaw!

Hua Yuanzhao sighed secretly. If she wanted to remove the long needle, she would have to operate on Xu Wanqing's chest. Aunt Su was also very bold. She dared to point out the long needle in Xu Wanqing's chest in this way at this time...

Gu Changsu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned to the emperor and bowed: "Father, there is a long needle piercing my heart. This is the killing method used by the Nanzhao assassins before!"

Rong Xiu squatted aside with his arms folded, looking at the long needle, making disgusted sounds.

"Su, this long needle couldn't have been inserted by you just when you fell down, right?"

Gu Changsu took the opportunity to blame the Nanzhao assassin for the real cause of Xu Wanqing's death.

"The needle is long and thin. If one wants to insert the entire needle into the human body, the person doing this must have some skills." Gu Changsu breathed a sigh of relief and made a proper explanation.

"Su is just a weak woman, how can she have such ability?"

The emperor just felt that this group of people were so noisy and annoying that it gave him a headache.

"Since it is related to the assassin from Nanzhao." The emperor stood up with the help of the table and ordered in a muffled voice: "Rongxiu, you will investigate."

"Yes." Rong Xiu quickly put away his watchful look and bowed to accept the order.

"Father." Gu Changsu was still uneasy and was about to speak again, but he watched the emperor stagger and fall to the ground.

Eunuch Fu was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He hugged the emperor and shouted anxiously, "Your Majesty! Someone come quickly! The emperor has fainted!"

Doctor Wu wiped the blood off his hands with a handkerchief and hurried forward to take the emperor's pulse.

As soon as his fingertips touched the emperor's wrist, his face changed drastically. How could the pulse be so chaotic?

"Quick, carry the emperor to **!" Doctor Wu ordered hurriedly.

He had no idea why the emperor was in a coma, but the news that the emperor was seriously ill must not be spread!

Hua Yuanzhao subconsciously stood up and stepped forward, but was stopped by Gu Changsu.

"Miss Hua, it seems that the emperor has not allowed you to stand up." Gu Changsu stared at Hua Yuanzhao sinisterly.

"What does your Third Prince mean?" Rong Xiu walked to Hua Yuanzhao's side, his pupils dim, clearly reflecting Gu Changsu's hideous face.

"Everyone knows that Miss Hua is an excellent doctor. The Third Prince is trying to stop Miss Hua from going through thousands of battles. Could it be that..."

At this moment, Rong Xiu's expression was gloomy like a god of death, and his voice was low and murderous.

"Don't want to save the emperor?"
