Chapter 23 The Heirless and Merciless Emperor 23



"Host, someone wants to harm you. This carbon is poisonous!" System 007's voice sounded hurriedly.

After hearing the news, Jiang Meiyu did not panic, but calmly started a conversation with the system with her brain: "Then I will quickly eat the detoxification pill." As she spoke, she threw the detoxification pill into her mouth without hesitation.

However, the next moment she began to worry again: "But Xiao Qi, now that I have taken the antidote pill, won't the person who harmed me be caught?"

"Please rest assured, host. This detoxification pill is extraordinary. It can produce a protective effect in your body and can last for five days. During this period, if you are unfortunately poisoned, then corresponding symptoms will appear, but don't worry, you will naturally wake up safely after five days. Moreover, I believe that with the emperor's ability, it should be enough to find out the mastermind behind the scenes within this period of time." System 007's answer made Jiang Meiyu feel a little more at ease.

At this time, Jiang Meiyu suddenly said excitedly: "Wow, there is such a magical pill! Give me a hundred or eighty pills, so that I can sell them for some money!" She happily imagined her future life of counting money.

Unfortunately, things went against her wishes. System 007 poured a bucket of cold water on her: "Host, don't dream on this. This mission is your first attempt, so you're only equipped with three detoxification pills. After that, you'll be rewarded with one more for each small world mission you complete." Hearing this, Jiang Meiyu's face was filled with disappointment: "There are only three in total. I just ate one, and now there are only two left. What should I do if someone else wants to harm me?"

"Therefore, host, you must eliminate all factors that pose a threat to you as soon as possible, so that you can give birth to a dragon heir for the emperor safely." Hearing what the system said, Jiang Meiyu couldn't help but curse in her heart: "Oh my god, are you kidding me? Do you have to be so deceiving!" Although she was full of dissatisfaction in her heart, her hands did not stop moving.

Jiang Meiyu argued endlessly with the system in her mind while she casually picked up a book, walked over to the charcoal basin, and sat down to quietly flip through it. At this moment, facing Jiang Meiyu's complaints and questions, the system didn't know how to respond for a moment, so it chose to remain silent and quietly slipped away.

Jiang Meiyu had just sent Chenyu to the small kitchen to fetch some freshly baked pastries. Coincidentally, Qiuping and Qiuling had just finished a joyful snowman-making game, each enjoying the fun of the ice and snow. Afterward, they all returned to their rooms to change and rest. Therefore, Jiang Meiyu was left alone.

After changing her clothes, Qiu Ping happily pushed open the door to Jiang Meiyu's inner room. She walked into the room with light steps, muttering to herself, "My Lady, it snowed so heavily just now..."

However, the moment Qiu Ping raised her head, her voice suddenly became terrified: "Ah... Madam, Madam...what's wrong with you?"

Chen Yu had just returned from fetching some pastries when she heard Qiu Ping's scream. Her heart raced, her hands trembling, and the pastries in her hands all fell to the floor. Without giving it any time to think, she rushed forward, hugged Jiang Meiyu tightly, and gently placed her on the bed. Then, Chen Yu reached out her right hand and quickly and accurately felt Jiang Meiyu's pulse. A moment later, Chen Yu's expression grew grave, and she frowned, thinking to herself, "Oh no! This is actually a symptom of poisoning!"

Chen Yu, fully aware of the seriousness of the situation, acted decisively, immediately calling to the young clerk beside her, "Quick! Report to the Emperor that Concubine Jiang is in critical condition!" The clerk, not wanting to delay, turned and dashed off. Meanwhile, Chen Yu summoned the young clerk, "Go to the Imperial Hospital immediately and request Imperial Physicians Hu and Wu to come immediately. There must be no delay!" The young clerk, receiving the order, also hurried off.

At this moment, the emperor was in his imperial study, attending to state affairs. Suddenly, the young clerk ran in breathlessly, fell to his knees, and cried out in a sobbing voice, "Your Majesty, this is terrible! Concubine Jiang...she's been poisoned!" The emperor was struck by lightning. He stood up with a jerk, his face instantly pale. "What? Yu'er has been poisoned? How could this happen?" The emperor's voice was filled with anxiety and worry.

The emperor could no longer sit idly by. His anxiety was so intense that he ignored everything else and rushed straight to Jiang Meiyu's chambers. His heart was in his throat as his mind replayed Jiang Meiyu's beautiful face. "Yu'er... Yu'er, please don't let anything happen to you! I can't live without you!" the emperor muttered to himself, quickening his pace.

When the emperor finally arrived at Jiang Meiyu's bedroom, he saw Chen Yu guarding her bedside, her eyes filled with worry. He quickly made his way to the bedside, looking at Jiang Meiyu lying unconscious. His heart ached. He held her hand and whispered her name, "Yu'er... Yu'er, what's wrong with you? Wake up! Don't scare me..."

Doctors Hu and Wu rushed over and carefully took Jiang Meiyu's pulse. After a thorough diagnosis, they exchanged a glance and came to a solemn conclusion: "Poisoning."

When the emperor heard the news, his expression instantly turned extremely cold. He frowned tightly and asked in a cold voice, "What kind of poison?"

Doctor Hu was trembling all over and answered nervously, "Your Majesty, Doctor Wu and I both think it is carbon monoxide poisoning." His voice was filled with obvious fear, as if he was afraid that saying the wrong thing would bring about his own death.
