Chapter 24 The Mastermind Has Been Found



"emperor!"

The Imperial Guards quickly surrounded Emperor Qixuan and formed a protective circle.

The prince rushed over, and after a careful inspection, he said in a serious tone: "Father is injured!"

"What!"

Emperor Qixuan's right arm was scratched and black blood was flowing out.

"Oh no, the sword is poisoned!"

The prince made a prompt decision, his expression no longer as gentle as usual, and he said sternly: "Call the imperial physician!"

Then he looked at Zhao Chengwen and ordered: "Seal the palace gate immediately, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without permission!"

Chu Yaoyao was held in Concubine Shu's arms.

Thinking of the scene where I was protected by Emperor Qixuan, I felt sad.

In her previous life, she was an orphan and grew up in an orphanage. She had never felt the love of her parents or relatives.

After coming here, although she called them "father, mother, brother", in her heart she always regarded them as paper people in the book.

Apart from Concubine Shu, with whom I have been living day and night these days, I really have no feelings for the others.

I didn't expect that Emperor Qixuan would get hurt in order to save her...

Seeing that she was not in a good state, Concubine Shu touched her head and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, Yao'er, it's okay, it's okay..."

[System, what kind of poison? ]

System: Don’t worry, Xiao Luzi has put the most powerful poison in the wine. The one on the sword is not a fatal poison that kills instantly.

[The person behind the scenes is really calculating, and has made two preparations. ]

Chu Yaoyao felt a little guilty, [If only I had discovered this earlier. ]

System: Host, don't be like this, it's not your fault.

[And you, didn’t you say you knew all the plot? The part about the assassin at the banquet wasn’t mentioned in the book?]

System: Not really. The plot has changed.

System: In the original text, Emperor Qixuan was indeed poisoned in Concubine Li’s palace at this point in time.

[Wait for me to sort it out. Cui Er wanted to go to Concubine Li's palace to poison her father. In the original text, she succeeded.]

System: I’m sorry, host. I thought Li Guibin was dead and this incident would not happen again. It was my negligence.

Chu Yaoyao seemed not to hear and continued analyzing on her own.

[So when the news of the Li family's collusion with the enemy came back, my mother knelt and begged for a long time but my father didn't see her. It was not because he didn't want to see her, but because he had been poisoned at that time.]

System: Huh? Oh, yeah.

So, did the host hear its apology? ...

The emperor's bedroom was quite far away, so he could only find a palace nearby.

While everyone was busy and confused, Chu Yaoyao secretly took out a detoxification pill.

[Don't worry, my cheap father. Yaoyao will not let anything happen to you. ]

After taking the detoxifying pill, Emperor Qixuan's complexion improved visibly.

At this time, Doctor Zhang was also carried in by two imperial guards.

After taking the pulse, Doctor Zhang carefully observed the wound and shook his head, "This is really strange."

The Queen took a few steps forward and asked in confusion, "What does Doctor Zhang mean by that?"

"Your Majesty, judging from the blood around the wound, he was indeed poisoned by the Three-Day Heartbreak Poison."

Doctor Zhang frowned, "But judging from the pulse, the emperor is not poisoned."

First it was the little princess, and now it’s the emperor. He couldn’t find out the reason why one of them fell into a coma inexplicably.

At this moment, Doctor Zhang began to doubt his own medical skills.

It seemed like he had read all the medical books in vain.

Chu Yaoyao slowly retreated behind Concubine Shu, trying to hide herself.

[Luckily I acted quickly, otherwise I would have been discovered. There are three detoxification pills in total. I just used one, so there are only two left. I absolutely cannot let Doctor Zhang take them away.]

The prince noticed her movements and his tense body gradually relaxed.

Thinking of those small white pills before, Doctor Zhang, who was over sixty years old, cried in front of the emperor without paying any attention to his image in order to get some research.

"Doctor Zhang means that the Emperor is fine now?" The Queen first glanced at the unconscious Emperor Qixuan, then looked at Doctor Zhang and asked.

"Your Majesty, that is indeed the case..."

The prince thought for a moment and walked over. "In that case, Doctor Zhang, please prescribe the medicine as usual."

"This?" Doctor Zhang looked at him in confusion.

The emperor is not ill at all, why is he boiling medicine? "Doctor Zhang, do you think there is something wrong?" The prince looked at him with a sharp look.

Doctor Zhang's back was covered in cold sweat. He lowered his head quickly and said, "I understand."

Before leaving, he saw Yaoyao hiding behind Concubine Shu.

He slapped his head immediately, he was really confused. With the little princess here, what poison could not be cured?

It turns out that the prince asked him to come not to treat the emperor, but to cover for the little princess.

“Ahem…”

The detoxification pill produced by the system was still very effective, and Emperor Qixuan woke up quickly.

"Father?" The first one to discover it was the prince.

Emperor Qixuan was supported by the crown prince to sit up, "How is Yaoyao? Is she not hurt?"

Concubine Shu held Yaoyao up so that he could see more clearly, "Yaoyao is fine."

"Why isn't Yaoyao talking? Are you scared?"

As soon as Emperor Qixuan said this, Concubine Shu felt nervous.

Yes, after the accident, Yaoer has not spoken a word...

"Father, I'm fine."

Emperor Qixuan then nodded, saying, "Glad that everything is fine."

He heard everything just now. It was the pills that Yaoyao took out that cured him of the poison.

He looked at the little person in Concubine Shu's arms worriedly, not knowing what price Yaoyao would pay this time.

At this time, Zhao Chengwen walked in, "Your Majesty, the identity of the assassin has been found out."

Emperor Qixuan's eyes gradually turned cold, "Oh?"

"It's Tingxue from Concubine Qian's palace."

"Qian Jieyu?"

The Queen murmured softly, "Jieyu Qian has never been competitive or aggressive, and always looks calm and composed."

How could he do such a crazy thing as assassinating the emperor?

When Emperor Qixuan first heard of Concubine Qian, he was a little dazed. He vaguely remembered that she seemed to be the daughter of Qian Kongzhang, a reader in the Hanlin Academy? Concubine Shu touched Yaoyao's little head and fell into memories.

Like Concubine Meng, Concubine Qian was not favored. Concubine Meng, the daughter of a seventh-rank official, was promoted to the position of Concubine thanks to her brother's rescue of the emperor.

Concubine Qian relied entirely on her father's influence.

"There is one more thing." Zhao Chengwen continued.

"Someone has seen Tingxue meeting Xu Shu from the Imperial Hospital several times."

"he?"

"Xu Shu!"

Emperor Qixuan and the Queen said in unison.

Isn't that the remnant of the previous dynasty? That Concubine Qian...

Zhao Chengwen leaned forward and clasped his fists, "I have ordered people to surround Changyue Palace."

Chu Yaoyao suddenly realized.

[It turns out that Concubine Qian is the concubine mentioned in the book who wants to kill her scumbag father. ]

[But why? Is she also a remnant of the previous dynasty?]

Hearing this, Emperor Qixuan shook his head subconsciously. Qian Kongzhang's father died at the hands of the remnants of the previous dynasty, and the Qian family would never collude with them.

System: There is some gossip about Concubine Qian, do you want to know?
