Chapter 200 Confrontation



As soon as Liu Qiuchan's words came out, Jun Beiyu's body shook, and he looked up at the queen in disbelief.

"Why do you say that, Queen? I am just worried about my father's safety and want to visit him. How can I accuse him of treason and regicide?"

Liu Qiuchan just snorted coldly and glanced at Jun Beiyu. "Why did I say that? Prince Heng knows it very well."

After saying this, Liu Qiuchan was about to turn around and leave, but she didn't expect Concubine Qin to come over slowly and listen to what she had just said.

"Your Majesty, your words are too harsh. Yu'er is a prince, and it is natural for him to visit his father. Are you going to stop him?"

Although Concubine Qin had just been released from the cold palace, she had already put on her best attitude, still maintaining the demeanor of a noble concubine, staring at Liu Qiuchan without any dodging.

"Qin Shuang, you are so presumptuous. You are just a noble lady, how dare you question me? Someone, drag her away and give her twenty strokes of the cane, so that she will know the difference between respect and inferiority."

Seeing that Qin Shuang had become a noble, yet still dared to reprimand her in person, Liu Qiuchan thought it was simply lawless, so she shouted.

Qin Shuang was startled when he saw the palace servants around him pulling him back. He was about to resist, but was directly suppressed by the Imperial Guards.

"How dare you treat me like this? Let go!" Qin Shuang still thought that she was a high and mighty imperial concubine, favored by the emperor, but she didn't know that the situation in the palace had already changed.

Seeing that his mother was about to be dragged away and beaten with a stick, Jun Beiyu hurriedly wanted to stop it, but was coldly blocked by Liu Qiuchan's words.

"Prince Heng, you have to think carefully. You are just a prince, but you want to interfere in the affairs of the harem. Are you really going to rebel?" Liu Qiuchan finished speaking.

Jun Beiyu's hand froze in place instantly. He could only watch Qin Shuang being dragged down, and the sound of heavy boards soon rang out.

Qin Shuang cried out in pain because of the beating, but Liu Qiuchan didn't seem to want to hear her voice. She just waved her hand and asked the senior palace maid Dongxiang beside her to cover Qin Shuang's mouth.

Jun Beiyu, who was standing outside, naturally didn't dare to act rashly.

After stabilizing the situation outside the door, Liu Qiuchan snorted coldly and entered the inner hall, where she saw that the director had already started giving acupuncture to the emperor.

At the same time, Lin Zhan told the director of the court everything that happened to the emperor.

"I never thought that Prince Heng would have such a vicious mind, but the emperor has been taking the puppet water you mentioned for several days and has been deeply poisoned. Just taking one dose of the antidote will not completely cure him."

After the court administrator gave the emperor acupuncture, he fell into a deep sleep. Then he turned around and spoke to Lin Zan.

"It doesn't matter. More antidotes are still being prepared. My sister and I will delay Jun Beiyu from getting close to the emperor. Once the poison in the emperor's body is completely eliminated, we will be able to see the moon after the clouds have cleared."

Lin Zhan gritted his teeth and said, the director nodded. Liu Qiuchan heard the conversation between the two and quickly spoke up. "Is the emperor in serious condition?"

Speaking of this matter, Lin Zhan remained silent, while Yuan Zheng thought for a while before speaking.

"The emperor is old and has worked too hard for state affairs. The poisoning at this moment will have some impact on his health. But please rest assured, Queen, I will definitely take good care of the emperor."

Liu Qiuchan heaved a sigh of relief after hearing him say this.

Liu Qiuchan suppressed Qin Shuang and Jun Beiyu with a very strong attitude, preventing them from getting close to the emperor, giving Jun Beiqi and Lin Zan a chance to catch their breath.

However, this big move also made Jun Beiyu realize that his plan must have been exposed, so he used his last trump card in the palace.

The trump card is the eunuch Fu Linhai who has always served the emperor.

Over the years, Fulinhai has been impartial and has never been too close to any prince. This is also the reason why he was able to stay by the emperor's side for a long time.

But this time Jun Beiyu had no choice but to use this trump card. He continued to hand Tianshui to Fulinhai, asking him to give it to the emperor when he had the chance.

"King Heng, my family once owed you a favor. Now that this matter is over, the favor between you and me is also over." Fulinhai took the Tianshui and said to Jun Beiyu in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

Jun Beiyu nodded and didn't say much. He just asked Fulinhai to handle the matter well and not to treat him unfairly in the future.

In the next few days, Jun Beiqi took another bottle of antidote, went to the palace and gave it to the emperor quietly, and he vomited a lot of poisonous blood again.

But what was somewhat surprising was that the emperor's condition did not improve. The director had been using acupuncture to make the emperor fall into a coma and using medicine to nourish the emperor's broken body.

But for some reason, the poison in the emperor's body increased instead of decreased, which made Lin Zan think that the antidote was useless, and he hurriedly went to Jun Beiqi to discuss it.

"How could the antidote be useless?" Jun Beiqi frowned, and Lin Zhan also felt strange. "Master also said that the antidote is useful, but I don't know why the emperor's body suddenly became ill again today."

After drinking the puppet water made by the Ghost Mother, one will experience convulsions and numbness from time to time during the process of being made into a puppet.

The emperor's symptoms had improved after taking the antidote, but they reappeared today.

At this moment, Jun Beiqi and Lin Zan thought of something at the same time and said at the same time, "The emperor has Jun Beiyu's spy around him."

Speaking of this matter, the two of them thought of Fulinhai who had always served the emperor.

"Impossible. Eunuch Fu has been by my father's side for more than 30 years. He has never made a mistake, and has never been close to anyone. He has always been impartial."

Jun Beiqi gritted his teeth and said that even in his previous life he didn't know that Fulinhai was Jun Beiyu's man.

"Things in life are unpredictable, so we'd better be careful." Lin Zhan gently held Jun Beiqi's hand, and the two looked into each other's eyes.

Finally, Jun Beiqi asked people to start paying attention to Fulinhai's movements. Sure enough, every night, Fulinhai would give the emperor Tianshui.

When the truth came to light, Jun Beiqi was heartbroken. After all, when he was a child, Fulinhai had been very good to him, especially during the time when his biological mother passed away.

So the next morning, Jun Beiqi personally found Fulinhai and made the matter clear to him.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is indeed capable of standing on his own feet. This old servant is truly relieved." Seeing the truth revealed, Fulinhai was not at all panicked. Instead, he looked at Jun Beiqi with a relieved smile on his face.

Jun Beiqi's face tensed as he asked in a cold voice, "Why did you do this? Did someone hold something against you and you had no choice but to do this?"
