At the same time, the emperor's condition became more serious, and Wen Chenxuan and Wen Jingchi visited him together.

Several imperial doctors were busy nearby, and Shen Mubai was also giving the emperor acupuncture with silver needles.

After Wen Chenxuan came in, he immediately sneered in a sarcastic tone.

"Royal brother, is this the miracle doctor you found for father? Didn't you swear that his medical skills are excellent and he can guarantee to cure father's illness? Why is it not working now? Excuse me, where did it go wrong? Can you explain it to me?"

Every word Wen Chenxuan said was full of pearls of wisdom, and he was simply trying to find fault on purpose.

Wen Jingchi would naturally not condone this, but would instead fight back without any hesitation.

"Brother, weren't you responsible for getting the imperial physician to treat father? Why didn't the imperial physician you found help father's condition? At least Shen Mubai's medical skills worked, but those people under him were all good-for-nothings. How do you explain that?"

"Or can you find a better doctor to treat my father? May I ask if you have the ability to do so?"

Wen Jingchi deliberately emphasized the last sentence, which was equivalent to kicking the ball back.

Wen Chenxuan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth in hatred.

The abominable Wen Jingchi actually opposed him at every turn, but he was not willing to give in.

"Since Shen Mubai is so powerful as you said, how come he has cured my father like this? Shouldn't he be getting better? Why is my father so seriously ill now, or did you deliberately instigate him?"

"Was it me who instigated it, or was it someone else who had an axe to grind? If the food from the emperor was delivered to you, would you dare to eat it?"

Wen Jingchi's question was equivalent to making Wen Chenxuan's actions public.

But these were all palace maids and servants, and the truth was of no importance to them.

Wen Chenxuan clenched his fists angrily, his eyes filled with burning anger.

"Wen Jingchi, are you deliberately going against Ben Chenxuan? Don't think that you can soar to the sky just because your father favors you. Some things are still uncertain."

Now that they had revealed each other's thoughts, there was no need for them to beat around the bush when talking.

Wen Jingchi sneered coldly, "I also hope you can remember one sentence, those who do too much evil will eventually perish!"

With a disdainful snort, Wen Chenxuan left angrily.

Wen Jingchi didn't waste any more words with him. He immediately came to the emperor and found that he was coughing violently.

Shen Mubai patted his chest hard, and the phlegm stuck in his throat finally fell to the ground. The little palace maid hurried over to serve him.

After giving him a few injections, Shen Mubai was sweating profusely and covered the emperor with a quilt.

Wen Jingchi came up to him and asked, "How is father's illness? Is there any chance of recovery?"

Shen Mubai frowned, not knowing how to answer for a moment. As a subordinate, there were some things he could not say frankly.

Wen Jingchi was very familiar with him and could be considered an old friend, so he couldn't help but ask again.

"If you have any unspeakable secrets, just tell me. Don't worry about it. Now I just want to know what the situation of my father is like."

This time, Shen Mubai sighed deeply and slapped his thigh hard.

"This is terrible. It could have been cured. The emperor has always been in good health, but the series of poisonings has completely drained his body. Time is running out."

"The people on Wen Chenxuan's side are very ambitious now. I think they also know that the emperor will not live long, and they will definitely not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. With the emperor in this state, I don't think he can even write a will. You should make plans early."

After spending these few days together, the emperor intended to issue a will, but he was so ill that he could not even speak, let alone abolish Wen Chenxuan.

Wen Jingchi nodded calmly, "You stay here and treat the emperor well. No matter what, you must let him live a few more days. I will also find ways to stop Wen Chenxuan from achieving his goal."

After accompanying the emperor here for a while, Wen Jingchi went to the palace. He didn't come back for several days and found that the palace seemed to have changed. Everyone in the palace was very busy.

Seeing Wen Jingchi coming back, the butler immediately came to his side and bowed respectfully.

"Your Majesty, you are finally back. I just received a secret letter. Please take a look at it, Your Majesty."

The butler had already read the secret letter, but because the situation was urgent, he had no choice but to read it first.

After opening the paper, Wen Jingchi's expression changed instantly.

"This Wen Chenxuan is really too much. He even managed to get the commander of the Imperial Guards."

Not only that, there were also several generals in charge of the military who were quite close to Wen Chenxuan.

I thought this was the prelude to Wen Chenxuan's rebellion, but who would have thought that he had another trick up his sleeve.

Early that morning, important ministers entered the palace one after another.

Although the emperor was seriously ill, they all received a list of traitors.

After receiving the notice, all the civil and military officials went to the palace. They all looked grim because many people had received the list.

Wen Chenxuan and Wen Jingchi stood at the front. Now that the emperor was seriously ill, the two of them were in charge of the situation.

One of the ministers was a member of Wen Chenxuan's party and was the Minister of Rites.

Minister Zhou took a step forward and handed a list from his sleeve to Wen Chenxuan.

"I suddenly received a secret letter late last night. It contained a list of people who had collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country. Many ministers were involved. Your Highness, please make the decision."

Other officials also stepped forward and handed over the lists they had received.

After taking a look, Wen Chenxuan pretended to look unhappy.

"This is really outrageous. If this list is distorted, these officials are really too bold."

He didn't say anything else, but threw a piece of paper on the table next to him.

Because he was closest to the Marquis, he immediately picked up the list and looked through it carefully.

After taking a look, his face changed instantly, because many of the names were from Wen Jingchi's faction, and his name was among them.

This made the Marquis panic, and he immediately stood up and explained hurriedly.

"Your Highness, Prince, this matter has nothing to do with me. I have always been loyal to my duties and to the Emperor. I have absolutely no intention of being disloyal."

There were also several other ministers who came forward to explain.

But Wen Chenxuan didn't believe what they said at all. Instead, he slammed the table hard.

"This is sheer nonsense. If there was no shadow, why would someone make it up out of thin air? Could it be that they are only targeting you guys, or did you do something shameful behind the scenes? Tell the truth to Chen Xuan quickly."

The other ministers did not speak, but instead looked at Wen Jingchi.

No matter how much they explained, Wen Chenxuan would pin false charges on them and they would not be able to defend themselves at all.

Wen Jingchi glanced at Wen Chenxuan indifferently with a somewhat cold look in his eyes.

He didn't care about him at all, and there was nothing but contempt in his eyes.
