Chapter 212 Heart-eating powder
"Yes, sir!"
Desheng took the order and left in a hurry.
It would be impossible for Desheng to do it alone, so the secret guards naturally followed him.
After everyone left, only Chi Ming and Bai Qinghuan were left in the bedroom guarding the emperor's bed.
The flickering candlelight illuminated the two men's solemn faces.
Bai Qinghuan looked at the pale face of His Majesty, and said worriedly: "Chi Ming, the poison His Majesty was poisoned with is called Heart-Eating Powder."
"Before, I advised His Majesty not to take elixirs anymore. The prescription I prescribed was to cure the elixir poison. One of the herbs was Snow Primrose. When it came into contact with Withered Heart Grass, it became a highly toxic Heart-Eating Powder."
"Once you take the Heart-Eating Powder, you will definitely die if you don't have an antidote within seven days."
"Possible solution?"
"Yes, but..."
She had seen countless prescriptions in her previous life, and she knew how to cure the poison of the Heart-Eating Powder.
"You can say whatever you want."
"Only Desheng knows that I prescribed medicine for His Majesty. This matter needs to be investigated carefully."
This is also the reason why he didn’t say it when Desheng was here just now.
"And His Majesty was already in very poor health. If he had taken good care of himself, he would have had two years to live. But he was suddenly poisoned by the Heart-Eating Powder. I'm afraid..."
Chi Ming didn't expect it to be like this: "My brother is only in his forties, how could it be?"
How could he only have two years left to live?
It was so sudden that he couldn't accept it at all.
As for this matter, if Bai Qinghuan hadn't said it, the emperor would have never wanted to tell him.
What on earth does the emperor want to do by hiding it from him?
"Alas... After taking the pills for a long time, the poison has already entered my lungs."
He choked up for a moment and uttered a few words with difficulty: "How long will it take?"
"One year at most."
This Heart-Eating Powder is just adding insult to injury.
A year is considered long.
"One year..."
Chi Ming murmured these two words, and then his eyes became colder.
"Leave the poisoning to me."
"Just focus on detoxifying. Tell me if you need anything. I'll take care of all the consequences."
If he couldn't save her, he wouldn't blame Qinghuan.
"Someone, go get Doctor Li."
Firstly, it can help Qinghuan relieve her worries, and secondly, Doctor Li is the best doctor in the Imperial Hospital.
If he can't do anything, there's no need to mention anything else.
"From now on, unless I send you to do so, you are only allowed to enter this palace but not leave."
The guards have surrounded the palace: "Yes."
Make sure not a mouse can get in or out.
At this time, Desheng had hurried back, looking solemn: "Your Majesty, I have arrested all the people who have had contact with the emperor, but after a round of interrogation, I found nothing.
Even the diet, clothing, and incense were not found to be abnormal. ”
Chi Ming's face became increasingly gloomy. He paced back and forth in the hall, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Since we can't get anything out of these people, there's no need to interrogate them. Just kill them all."
That cold voice penetrated my heart.
At this moment, the Regent's iron-blooded approach was truly revealed.
It is better to kill someone by mistake than to let him go.
"Also, go and find all the palace maids and eunuchs who have left their posts or behaved suspiciously in the past few days. Arrest them all and kill them!"
Desheng was shocked, but he obeyed the order and left.
After hearing this, Bai Qinghuan did not stop it. The person behind the scenes must have hidden deep within the palace.
It cannot be found without bloodshed.
What Chi Ming did was the fastest way to prevent His Majesty from being poisoned again.
As for whether it was Desheng who did it, she believed Chi Ming had his own conclusion.
As soon as Chi Ming's order was issued, the originally quiet and solemn palace instantly fell into chaos.
Scary screams and hurried footsteps intertwined together, and the entire palace was filled with wailing.
Those who tried to escape could not escape the cold swords of the guards and fell one after another in a pool of blood.
In the blink of an eye, the palace was flooded with blood and filled with murderous intent.
Bai Qinghuan could also clearly smell the pungent smell of blood in the emperor's bedroom.
After the medicine was ready, he quickly fed the emperor a bowl of medicine to remove the remaining poison.
After a while, the emperor's expression improved slightly.
But he is still in a coma and hasn't woken up yet.
Bai Qinghuan instructed the secret guard: "Go ahead and boil it again, and bring me a bowl every hour."
After receiving the order, the secret guard left in a hurry and continued to boil the medicine.
Bai Qinghuan stayed by the bed, staring at the emperor intently, fearing that he might encounter any accident.
"Chi Ming, who do you think poisoned the Saint?"
Chi Ming has been thinking about it for a long time. In his opinion, the biggest suspect is Yun Yizi.
"I heard that Yun Yizhi had already woken up two days ago."
"How dare he be so courageous?"
"Does he want to support the Third Prince to ascend to the throne?"
The emperor is obviously suppressing the Yun family, and Yun Yizi can't wait any longer.
Thinking of Chi Zhuoxu, she couldn't help but ask:
"Do you think there is any involvement of the Third Prince?"
Chi Ming shook his head and said, "He doesn't have that brain."
Bai Qinghuan thought so too. With Chi Zhuoxu's ability, he would not be able to plan such a meticulous thing.
If it is really Yun Yizi, then he will definitely take action in the next few days.
But was he really rebelling just to support the third prince?
She doesn't think so.
"Did the person you placed next to Yun Yuyan notice it?"
Chi Ming shook his head: "Yun Yizhi won't take the bait so easily."
He originally thought that if Yun Yizi still cared about his daughter and sent someone to rescue her, he would be able to follow the clues to find out the cause.
There has been no news till now.
Bai Qinghuan thought of their previous conversation: "Don't be disappointed, this is within your expectations."
"You were assassinated in Mengbai Mountain before. Could it be him?"
Fifty thousand soldiers were stripped naked and thrown into the snow and ice in order to lure Chi Ming into the trap.
If the private soldier is Yun Yizi, then it is undoubtedly treason.
Chi Ming didn't say too much: "It's probably him who did it."
"If that's the case, then they are planning a rebellion."
Bai Qinghuan had just finished speaking when Ming Yi appeared from the shadows: "Your Highness, I sent secret guards to investigate the Yun family before, and we got some clues from the pigeon sent from southern Yunnan."
Chi Ming's eyes were stern: "Speak."
Ming Yi bowed slightly and replied: "Your Highness, Yun Yizhi and his father didn't find any problems. They were born and raised in Beijing, but if we investigate further..."
He paused and said, "His grandfather, Yun Chengzong, was born into a poor family and his hometown is a small mountain village in southern Yunnan."
"Do you know the location of the mountain village?"
Chi Ming walked to the feng shui map and pointed: "It's this Miao Village."
"It is said that the elders in Miaojia Village said that when they were still young, a stranger came to the village, gave them a lot of food and money, and asked the village chief to register him as a resident."
"He is the only one with the last name Yun in that village."
Chi Ming looked at the small mountain village carefully, and then pointed at the territory of Nanzhao.
Ming Yi was shocked: "Your Highness, do you mean that Yun Chengzong came from Nanzhao?"
“Miaojia Village is only two hills away from Nanzhao.”
