The housekeeper's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

"Your Highness, this is a brilliant idea. I will arrange it now."

The prince nodded in satisfaction, said nothing, but just curled his lips slightly.

In the blink of an eye, it was late at night and everyone was asleep.

Chu Weiyue and Wen Jingchi were both with the emperor. These few nights were very critical moments. Shen Mubai patiently gave the emperor acupuncture.

As soon as it was over, Chu Weiyue immediately covered the emperor with a quilt.

At this moment, a young eunuch rushed in: "Oh no, the Queen Mother suddenly vomited blood and fainted."

"How could this happen?" Wen Jingchi's eyes were filled with shock. He did not dare to hesitate and strode away.

He glared at Shen Mubai, who immediately packed up his medicine box and followed him to see the Empress Dowager.

Chu Weiyue followed in the confusion.

The emperor was no longer seriously injured, and there were many young palace maids around, so she also wanted to go and see what was going on with the empress dowager and come back soon.

Anyway, there is no woman like Chu Ranxin causing trouble here, so there is no need to worry too much.

When I arrived at the Queen Mother's bedroom, I found that the imperial physician was already treating me.

Wen Jingchi asked everyone else to leave, leaving only Shen Mubai behind.

After taking his pulse, Shen Mubai felt relieved.

"Don't worry, the Empress Dowager is fine. She just got so angry when she learned that the Emperor was seriously ill that she vomited blood. In addition, she has had lung disease for many years. The weather has been dry recently, so she vomited blood. She just needs to rest well."

He wrote a prescription and gave it to the little palace maid: "Go get the medicine, and then boil it for him yourself. He will be fine after drinking it for half a month."

Wen Jingchi also breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that everything is fine. If the Empress Dowager is in trouble, I really don't know how to explain it to my father."

He already felt sad to have the Empress Dowager die young at such an old age. If anything happened to her again, he would definitely feel very guilty.

At this time, a little palace maid came to the emperor.

He took a bowl of medicine and pretended nothing happened.

When the young eunuchs saw that the emperor's medicine had arrived, they didn't think much about it and immediately helped the emperor up.

As soon as the emperor drank it, he began to convulse all over and foam at the mouth.

This scene frightened them and they immediately went to call the imperial physician.

Wen Jingchi, Chu Weiyue and others just happened to come back at this time: "What's going on? Why is the emperor like this?"

Shen Mubai rushed to treat him, while Wen Jingchi questioned the young eunuch next to him.

The young eunuch was so frightened that he fainted, and the other young eunuch knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously.

After a while, he fainted due to excessive blood loss.

Wen Jingchi was so angry that he kicked them to the side, ordered them to be dragged out and beheaded, and then came to the emperor.

Shen Mubai just took the pulse and then shook his head gently. The emperor half-opened his eyes and said nothing.

Because he couldn't utter a word, but his eyes were filled with resentment and helplessness.

Wen Jingchi held his hand and tried to say something to him, but at this point, he didn't know what to say.

The emperor opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.

He could only inform all officials of the news, and Wen Chenxuan also rushed over immediately.

Seeing the emperor like this, Wen Chenxuan smiled smugly in his heart, but immediately pretended to be affectionate.

"Father, what's wrong with you? Who poisoned you out of nowhere? I've already captured that little maid and will avenge you. She must have an accomplice. Don't worry, I won't let you die in vain..."

"You will not die. I said the wrong thing. I am willing to sacrifice my life in exchange for your recovery. Please get well, father."

Then Wen Chenxuan knelt on the ground beside him hypocritically and kowtowed heavily to the sky.

"God has mercy on me. I have a sincere heart towards my father. I am willing to exchange twenty years of my life for ten years of my father's life. I beg God to have mercy on my filial heart..."

Wen Chenxuan's words sounded quite touching, but they only moved himself.

The two groups of people in the court were in opposition to each other, and only the people on his side were moved. The people on Wen Jingchi's side were just watching him act and were very dismissive.

At this moment, a subordinate came over.

"Your Highness, don't be too sad. The important thing is to catch the murderer. The little palace maid has confessed just now that it was the emperor's most beloved brother, Prince Boyang, who rebelled."

"What did you say, Uncle Wang Boyang?" Wen Chenxuan pretended to be shocked.

"Yes, it was King Boyang who rebelled. He has already recruited soldiers and seems to be ready to go!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Jingchi sneered coldly.

"That's nonsense. He is my father's cousin. They have a very deep relationship. They once studied and practiced martial arts together. They even fought together on the battlefield. It is impossible for him to rebel. Besides, why would he rebel at his age?"

Everyone knew that Prince Boyang was in poor health and prone to vomiting blood. He had been infected with tuberculosis many years ago. A person like him certainly could not dream of becoming an emperor.

He only has a few daughters and no sons at all. What's the point of him rebelling?

Wen Chenxuan laughed coldly, "Royal brother, how can you be so sure that he can't rebel? Nothing is impossible in this world, so don't worry about it."

"What do you mean I don't care? Do you want to care now? Don't forget, we two control the government together, no matter how big or small. As long as my father is alive, I won't allow you to act rashly. Besides, the fief of King Boyang is in the southwest, and it takes a long time to get here. What makes you say he wants to come here? He hasn't taken any practical action yet."

"What practical action is needed? The maid said that he poisoned my father, which is the biggest evidence."

"She concluded that Prince Boyang was rebelling based on a few words. Does that mean she can kill you if she says you are rebelling?"

Wen Jingchi responded to him sharply with fierce words, not losing the upper hand at all.

Wen Chenxuan was so angry that his eyes turned red: "Wen Jingchi, are you deliberately going against me?"

"I'm not against you. I'm trying to convince people with reason. You have no right to convict anyone based on the words of a palace maid without any evidence. I'm just following what my father said to convince people with reason."

Wen Chenxuan's eyes turned red with anger. He never expected that Wen Jingchi was against him at this time.

He didn't have time to deal with Wen Jingchi and turned away angrily.

He went to the room outside, and Wen Jingchi's people were in another room.

Now the emperor is in a critical condition, and only Shen Mubai and a few imperial doctors are serving him.

Shen Mubai just told several imperial doctors that the emperor is unlikely to survive, so he asked them to prepare for his funeral tonight.

The centrist ministers, not wanting to get involved in the fight between their two parties, took on the job.
