After the Chinese New Year, the emperor fell seriously ill and kept coughing, which eventually led to lung disease.

After Wen Jingchi and others learned about it, they went to see the emperor immediately.

The imperial doctors came out worriedly, and when they saw Wen Jingchi coming, they bowed respectfully.

"What's wrong with father's illness? Why is it getting worse after so long of treatment? You must give me an explanation today."

Wen Jingchi's measures were very drastic and were accompanied by intense anger.

Several imperial doctors were so frightened that they dared not say a word.

But facing Wen Jingchi's oppressive gaze, they could only take one step forward.

"Your Highness, the Emperor is now suffering from a serious lung disease. We are really powerless to help..."

"A bunch of gluttons."

Wen Jingchi already knew their answers, as many of these imperial physicians were Wen Chenxuan's men.

Then he glanced at his subordinate beside him, and after a while, his subordinate led Shen Mubai in.

Shen Mubai was an old acquaintance of theirs. When the imperial doctors saw him appear, their faces became uglier than each other.

Shen Mubai sat next to the emperor. The emperor opened his eyes slightly and wanted to say something, but then he coughed violently.

Wen Jingchi personally took a handkerchief and helped him wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Father, how do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

The emperor opened his mouth and then pointed to his throat.

Wen Jingchi naturally knew that his throat was very uncomfortable and couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, Father. I will do my best to save you."

After hearing this, the emperor nodded with relief and kept holding Wen Jingchi's hand.

"Okay, all of you get out."

Although the other imperial doctors were unwilling, they had to leave as this was Wen Jingchi's order.

After these people left, only Wen Jingchi and Shen Mubai were left.

"There are no outsiders here. Let father see what is going on."

Shen Mubai walked over with a cold expression, held the emperor's wrist, and his face instantly darkened to the extreme.

"The emperor's health is not good. His toxins have worsened, so he has contracted lung disease. It seems that someone gave him a strong medicine, which is different from the medicine he took a few days ago. These people know that we have exposed their plan, so they increased the dosage and seemed to have added some other medicine..."

Wen Jingchi couldn't help but sneered coldly: "These people are really ridiculous. They can't wait so soon."

Although the emperor could not speak, he heard everything they said clearly and his face turned red with anger.

Shen Mubai was so scared that he immediately pressed him to the ground: "Your Majesty, please don't worry. Taking good care of your body is the most important thing now. As for the future, we will settle it after your health gets better. Now listen to me, I promise that your health will get much better."

The emperor was also a man who knew the big picture. He could only take a breath and force himself to calm down.

After nearly half an hour, Shen Mubai finished acupuncture for the emperor. He fell into a deep sleep, and his breathing was obviously much smoother than before.

"Jing Chi, I think you should pay more attention to the emperor's diet. These people will never give up. I have used medicine to temporarily control the condition. I will need a few days to study what kind of poison they used."

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Wen Jingchi spoke politely for the first time.

Shen Mubai was stunned for a moment. He never expected him to be so polite.

On second thought, it is normal, after all, the emperor is his biological father.

Although Wen Jingchi was also greedy for power, which man didn't want to have it all? He had no choice in front of him.

If he doesn't fight Wen Chenxuan to the end, then the first person Wen Chenxuan will get rid of after he ascends the throne will be him!

These things were not what he wanted, and reality forced him to take risky measures.

After treating the emperor for three full hours, Shen Mubai was exhausted and sweating all over. He fainted and went to a side hall to rest.

Wen Jingchi never left the emperor's side.

According to Shen Mubai, he would be in a coma for a few days and would feel much better after waking up.

Shen Mubai will be here these days, and he will personally taste the medicine and food sent to him.

At this moment, the man came to the side of Wen Jingchi and frowned slightly.

"Your Highness, the Imperial Physician Liu who often treats the Emperor has received a windfall. His son has been promoted step by step in the court, and he has been in charge of the overall situation recently. The other imperial physicians were sent away by him with excuses. Even the Emperor's medicine was delivered by him personally..."

"Doctor Liu..."

Wen Jingchi curled his lips slightly: "If I remember correctly, the daughter of Doctor Liu seems to have married the housekeeper of the Crown Prince's Mansion!"

"Yes, that's true. It seems that all of this is the work of the Crown Prince. He can no longer sit still! Even if the Emperor recovers, he will definitely try other methods temporarily. Does Your Majesty have any good ideas?"

Wen Jingchi sneered coldly: "Now the key is to protect the emperor. As long as the emperor is still alive, he will not dare to act rashly."

"Immediately bribe all the people in the Imperial Kitchen secretly, and make them stand on our side no matter what means. As for Imperial Doctor Liu, don't make it public for now. Go to the Imperial Hospital and take care of the other doctors. With them watching, Imperial Doctor Liu won't be able to do anything for the time being.

Many of these imperial doctors were forced by Wen Chenxuan to take sides, and you used the same method to intimidate them..."

Wen Jingchi's men immediately understood what he meant and immediately did as he said.

Although we can be sure that all this was done by Wen Chenxuan, due to the lack of evidence, this matter can only be put on hold for the time being.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and the emperor's health was many times better than before.

Early that morning, he changed his clothes and went to attend the morning court.

Upon learning the news of the emperor's early court session, all the officials were quite shocked, and the most surprised was Wen Chenxuan.

When I arrived at the court, the emperor had not yet appeared.

His brows slightly furrowed. His father was clearly lying on the sickbed yesterday and had even coughed up blood several times. How could he suddenly appear now?

Just when he was at a loss for words, the eunuch shouted loudly and all the civil and military officials knelt on the ground.

The emperor's body looked no different from before.

After coughing lightly a few times, he waved to the civil and military officials.

"My dear ministers, please stand up. I have been ill recently. Thanks to you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince working together to govern the country, the country is now peaceful and the people are safe..."

After saying some polite words, the emperor changed the subject and set his gaze on Wen Jingchi.

"I have something I want to solemnly announce. No matter if it is the Crown Prince or any other prince, as long as they have not ascended the throne, they must sit on an equal footing. There is absolutely no distinction between superior and inferior. Do you understand?"

The ministers were stunned for a moment!
