1594 Trampled to death, there is no other way but to find a solution

The Xie family was finally suppressed. Neither the Ninth Prince nor Wang Jinling would allow the Xie family to rise again. Even the emperor could not accept the Xie family making a comeback and standing over his head to give him orders.

The Ninth Prince is in the open, while the Emperor and the Wang family are in the dark. The three forces join forces and spare no effort to suppress the Xie family, making sure that the Xie family will never have a chance to turn things around.

The emperor dared not touch the Xie family's main force in Dongling due to the poison in his body, but the Ninth Prince and Wang Jinling would not show mercy to the forces outside the Xie family.

The head of the Xie family finally got the chance to communicate with the outside world. When he learned about the situation outside, he vomited blood on the spot. If the Xie family did not have life-saving pills, the head of the Xie family would have died as well.

After waking up, Patriarch Xie's eyes were as fierce as a hungry wolf. He called a dark and thin old man, whispered a few words to the old man, and then lay on the bed and sneered.

The emperor thought that if he didn't enter the palace and didn't see the emperor, he wouldn't be able to do anything to the emperor. He wanted to let the emperor see clearly what would happen if he offended him.

Sixteen lives were lost in the Xie family. He, Wang Jinling and the emperor paid their debt with blood.

That night, the emperor was in excruciating pain in the palace, with blood oozing out of the corners of his eyes and nostrils. The imperial physician went to great lengths to suppress the condition, but was unable to relieve the pain.

"Waste, a bunch of waste. What's the point of me keeping you bunch of waste?" The emperor cursed loudly. He had been tortured by illness for more than half a year. He looked wilted and lay there like a corpse. After thinking for a moment, he gave an order to summon the Ninth Uncle and Feng Qingchen into the palace.

The emperor no longer had the strength to sit up and entertain them, so the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen went straight to the inner hall. They were not surprised to see the emperor lying on the bed, exhausted.

If the emperor wasn't half dead, how could he have thought of them?

"Ninth brother, what do you want?" The emperor has learned his lesson and dared not to be tough anymore.

The Ninth Prince does not necessarily have to cooperate with the Emperor, but the Emperor must cooperate with the Ninth Prince now, otherwise he will have no choice but to obey the Xie family and become a puppet of the Xie family.

For an emperor, this is a disgrace.

"Your Majesty, you are too polite. All I have done is to fulfill my duty as a subject." He would take what he wanted himself and did not need the emperor to give in.

As a dying man, only the emperor himself would feel that he is a person of great stature.

Knowing that the Ninth Uncle's words were extremely hypocritical, the Emperor could not say anything, and had to suppress his nature and praise the Ninth Uncle a few words, and finally got to the point: "Ninth brother, you also know my illness. The Xie family took advantage of my illness and intended to interfere in state affairs. But how can I, the Emperor of Dongling, be controlled by a villain? I would rather destroy this vast country than let it fall into the hands of traitors."

The Ninth Prince and the Xie family both understood this, which was why the Xie family did not dare to pressure the emperor. They could only take their time, for fear of pushing the emperor too far and ending up with a lose-lose situation.

The Ninth Prince remained silent. Feng Qingchen knew that she was just there to make up the story. She would not be so kind as to say something to ease the tension between the two brothers, so she just stood aside and listened to their comments.

The emperor endured the pain and said a few more words that sounded like his last words. Seeing that his uncle had not said anything, the emperor had to take the initiative to speak: "Ninth brother, the Xie family is ambitious and treacherous. They have collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country. They still do not repent even when facing death. They are using the poisonous insect in my body to do evil. I will never let them go."

"Your Majesty, are you going to exterminate all nine clans of the Xie family? If Your Majesty gives the order, I will never let the Xie family escape." The Ninth Prince pretended to understand the meaning of the emperor's words and took the initiative to ask for orders.

The emperor was so angry that his eyes rolled back and he almost fainted.

He forced a smile and said, "It is not a pity for the Xie family to die. I am the emperor of Dongling, but they poisoned me and threatened me, intending to shake the foundation of Dongling. Killing the entire clan is too easy for them."

The Emperor's words were hinting to the Ninth Prince that the Xie family had suffered a series of defeats and was now taking action against him. If he wanted to eradicate the Xie family, he must first ensure his safety, otherwise he would definitely protect the Xie family first and then take action slowly.

The emperor is in a very contradictory situation now. He will not let the Xie family take over the country, but he also will not let the Xie family fight to the death now. Both sides are dragging their feet and fighting, and neither will reveal their cards until the last moment.

The Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen also understood this principle, but they did not want to be threatened by the Emperor. Now that the Emperor showed weakness and asked in a negotiating tone, the Ninth Prince certainly could not play dumb anymore.

If they continue to play dumb, the Emperor might completely side with the Xie family, and they will be the ones to suffer.

"The master of Xuanyi Valley and Dr. Guo will arrive in the capital in half a month." The Ninth Prince gave a guarantee.

Guo Baoji is a famous poison doctor. If these two people join forces, they still cannot cure the poison in the emperor's body. They can only start from the Xie family.

The emperor was naturally happy to be saved, but half a month was too long, so he didn't try to be brave and said bluntly: "The Xie family has already taken action."

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't be lying on the bed talking.

At this time, Feng Qingchen's presence came in handy. She had taken the Eighth Prince out before, not just for a checkup. In the past few days, the Ninth Prince and Wang Jinling were busy dealing with the Xie family, and she was also busy analyzing the Eighth Prince's condition.

Although she did not find a solution, she found a potion that could temporarily suppress the poisonous insects.

"Your Majesty, you are infected with the same poisonous insect as the Eighth Prince. Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission. Although I cannot completely cure it, I have found a way to suppress it. Your Majesty will not be affected by the poison in the next half month."

Before Feng Qingchen finished speaking, the emperor sat up from his dragon bed and asked excitedly, "Feng Qingchen, can you really suppress the poison in my body?"

At this time, the emperor discovered how amazing Feng Qingchen's medical skills were. He had always thought that no matter how powerful Feng Qingchen was, he was only good at healing wounds. Now it seems...

Feng Qingchen was better than many old doctors in the Imperial Hospital, but he underestimated Feng Qingchen. Unfortunately, like Zi Luo, he did not win over this woman early, so he lost a helper.

"In reply to the emperor, I can do it." Feng Qingchen was neither humble nor arrogant. She had long since stopped caring about the emperor's attitude. What the emperor thought had nothing to do with her.

"Okay, okay, Feng Zhan gave birth to a good daughter. A good father will have a good daughter. Feng Qingchen, as long as you can suppress the poison in my body, I will confer the title of Duke of Enguo on Feng Zhan." Duke of Enguo means doing favors for the country. This is definitely a great honor. The emperor has no pressure at all to reward a dead person.

Feng Zhan is already dead. No matter how many honors he gives Feng Zhan, Feng Zhan will not be alive to enjoy them.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Feng Qingchen lowered his head with an indifferent expression, not at all tempted by the position of Duke.

With her current status in Dongling, it doesn't matter whether she has the title of Duke's Mansion or not. Instead of giving her such an empty position, it would be better to give her some tangible rewards in gold and silver.

Of course, Feng Qingchen did not say this. As a minister, she would accept whatever the emperor gave her. She was not the Xie family, who would seek death just because the emperor showed weakness. She was too arrogant to know her own place.

The emperor is not an ordinary person. The power in his hands can destroy a family or even a country. Unless you can kill the emperor, you must not jump in front of him. The higher you jump now, the more miserable your death will be.

The Xie family is a living example. Feng Qingchen can imagine the miserable future of the Xie family, and the most pitiful and innocent among them are Imperial Concubine Xie and the Eighth Prince.

The Emperor will never let these two people go...
