Chapter 190 Abdication
Lin Wu and Lin Shuo came back first, bringing a lot of blood. Both of them were skilled in martial arts and had the anesthetic needles given by Lin Qian, so they could basically get the blood just by passing by people.
The person whose blood was being taken probably didn't even feel it. This was a simple task for the two of them, so they returned quickly.
Lin Shuo also took out four portions of blood and said to Lin Qian, "The others were obtained from passersby, but these four were bought from beggars. You can try them too."
The beggars were far away in the slums on the other side, in a straight line distance from the north gate where Lin Qian and the others came in. If you want to know whether all the people in the city have been poisoned, just take their blood and you will know.
Lin Qian nodded, then went to get the medicinal jade, but found nothing.
Lin Shuo, Lin Wu and others were waiting for Lin Qian to have her blood tested, but they saw her staring at her hands in a daze for a long time without moving, which made them feel puzzled.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Lin Shuo spoke and asked Lin Qian.
Lin Qian looked up, raised her empty hands, and said, "The medicinal jade is gone. It was digested by space."
After the previous two upgrades, there was no sign of the space being upgraded again. Later, Lin Qian intentionally put a lot of medicinal herbs into it, but the space still did not digest them.
However, this time Lin Qian took the medicinal jade in and put it in the space, but forgot to take it out. Now when she wanted to use it, she found that the medicinal jade was missing.
Does this mean that what is needed for this space upgrade is medicinal jade?
"What do you think, if the space is upgraded again, can the poison in Yu Gu be cured?" Lin Qian raised her eyes and asked Lin Wu, Lin Shuo and the others.
Every time the space is upgraded, the medicinal taste of the cold spring water will become stronger, and the effect of the spiritual spring water will become better and better. It is no problem to detoxify some common poisons.
However, the cold spring water could not cure Jiang Xu's poison, but this time, Lin Qian seemed to see hope.
"Anyway, it's good news that the space can be upgraded again. If Ziling and the others can't find an antidote, then we can only rely on the cold spring water.
Shuo Shuo and I will go buy you some medicinal jade right away. We can't just sit there and wait for death, let's give it a try first." Lin Wu stood up and said.
The whole family is impetuous and quick-tempered. They act immediately upon their words. Before they could finish their words, Lin Wu and Lin Shuo had already rushed out like a gust of wind.
Zhao Xiu returned to the room and took out a jade pendant. "This jade pendant was given to you by your mother. It's made of medicinal jade. Use it first and look at the blood."
"Okay." Lin Qian took the jade pendant and began to test the blood. Their guess was right. Everyone was poisoned by the mother's poison.
That night, Lin Wu and Lin Shuo never came back, and neither did Wei Xiaoran.
After the court session, Wei Xiaoran returned home with a very ugly look on his face.
"What's wrong with you?" Lin Qian asked him.
Wei Xiaoran looked up at Lin Qian and said, "I already know what the eldest prince wants to do. He wants to force the emperor to abdicate."
"What's going on?"
Last night, Wei Xiaoran sneaked into the palace to meet the emperor and told him about this matter. The two have been discussing countermeasures.
The one-month period of reflection behind closed doors has passed, and Wei Xiaoran could have returned to court long ago. It just so happened that he resumed his attendance today.
As a result, the ministers in the court gave him an unexpected big surprise.
Zhou Shu, the official historian of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, reported the results of his star observations last night in front of all the civil and military officials during the court session today.
"Your Majesty, while observing the stars last night, we discovered that the Ziwei star was surrounded by black mist, and it was showing signs of spreading. I'm afraid there will be chaos in the world." Zhou Shu, the official historian of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, said, then he knelt down and buried his head deeply in the ground.
As soon as he said this, the entire court fell silent, and you could probably hear a pin drop.
All the ministers held their breath and secretly glanced at the emperor's face out of the corner of their eyes, but found that his face was expressionless, without a trace of expression.
Seeing the emperor treat his ministers like this, my heart is chilled.
If their emperor is angry or annoyed, it proves that although he is angry, he is still rational. Once the emperor shows this expressionless face, it means that he is going to kill someone cruelly.
"Sir Zhou, don't talk nonsense." Wei Xiaoran said coldly to Zhou Shu.
Zhou Shu remained kneeling and said, "I dare not speak nonsense. Your Majesty, the world is about to change. You must consider the dawn of the world and the people."
The Emperor finally spoke, asking, "You said that there's black energy swirling around Ziwei Star, and it's spreading outward. So, are you saying that I will bring disaster upon Yongyao?"
"That's right." Zhou Shu answered firmly.
The ministers around all gasped. Zhou Shu was so brave that he even dared to say such outrageous words. It seemed that he would not be able to walk out of the hall alive.
Unexpectedly, the emperor did not show any anger, but continued to ask him, "Then, in your opinion, what should I do to save the people of the world from disaster?"
Zhou Shu raised his head and looked directly at the emperor. His eyes and eyebrows were tense, and it was obvious that he was very nervous, but he still spoke every word.
"If you want the people of the world to be spared from disaster, the emperor must abdicate."
The emperor smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes. He said, "Lord Zhou, you are so brave to say that!"
Zhou Shu shuddered and continued, "I know that the emperor will not believe my words alone, but I can prove with my death that what I said is true and without a single word of falsehood."
After saying that, Zhou Shu stood up and was about to set up the pillar death mirror, but the location he chose was not very good. On the way to the pillar, he happened to be standing at the place where Lin Wu was standing.
Therefore, before Zhou Shu touched the pillar, Lin Wu grabbed the back of his neck and stopped him.
"What is Lord Zhou doing? The emperor is just asking you, he doesn't want to beat you or kill you. You are trying to commit suicide, which is a bit ignorant." Lin Wu said.
"I know that what I said is extremely treasonous, so I naturally dare not live in this world. Your Majesty, you must listen to my words and abdicate as soon as possible. Otherwise, the first person to have an accident will definitely be the Empress." Zhou Shu said while struggling in Lin Wu's hand.
Just as Lin Wu was about to have Zhou Shu taken away, he saw him spitting out black blood, his eyes rolled back, and he was no longer alive.
The emperor suddenly stood up and shouted with a cold face that the court should be dismissed. None of the ministers dared to stay any longer and they all rushed to the door of the hall as if their butts were on fire.
Shen Junqi is now eight and a half months pregnant, and her due date is in early August. It is only the middle of July now, and there is only half a month left until the beginning of August.
Zhou Shu was undoubtedly on the eldest prince's side, and his words were just a reminder to the emperor, a declaration of war. I'm going to attack, so you start to accept it.
What the eldest prince wants to see is the emperor abdicate and let others take over.
