Chapter 256 The Emperor's Wrath
In the courtyard, several princes looked at each other with serious expressions.
My eldest brother died so suddenly.
And they almost followed in his footsteps.
The Second Prince looked at his two younger brothers and calmly asked, "Who is so cruel and crazy?"
The third and fourth princes have always been the most competitive. The court officials have long since surrendered to their respective masters and stirred up trouble in the court.
The Fourth Prince frowned slightly, "I also want to know, Third Brother, do you know?"
A trace of anger flashed in the Third Prince's eyes. "What do you mean? Suspect me? I doubt you too. You have no bottom line."
The Fourth Prince retorted, "I'm just asking, what are you feeling guilty about?"
On the other side, Yun Zheng took the ghost doctor away from them.
She lowered her voice and said, "I'm afraid we're in trouble this time."
The ghost doctor knew this very well. Although he had great medical skills, he had never thought of joining the Imperial Hospital.
Because, serving the king is like serving a tiger, your life may be in danger at any time.
If you are not careful, you will be implicated, and at the very least you will be demoted, and at the worst you will be executed or your entire family will be implicated.
"If anything happens, I'll take full responsibility. Just help me take care of Kang'er."
He believed in Yun Zheng's character, that she was a man of her word, would keep her word, and was very trustworthy.
Yun Zheng waved her hand. "It hasn't come to that yet. Let me think about it."
She pondered for a moment, then her eyes lit up, "I got it."
The two of them whispered and discussed countermeasures.
After an unknown amount of time, several princes came over.
The Second Prince said bluntly, "Ghost Doctor, you will follow me from now on. I will double whatever Yun Zheng gives you."
After this incident, he realized how important it is to have a doctor with excellent medical skills.
The Third Prince also patted his chest and promised, "Ghost Doctor, I can guarantee you a lifetime of wealth and glory. Come with me."
The Fourth Prince promised meaningfully, "Ghost Doctor, I can help you achieve whatever you want."
The ghost doctor just smiled faintly, "Princess Jinyun gave me everything I wanted."
She gave them, the grandparents and grandchildren, a stable home, which could not be bought with any amount of money.
After wandering alone for half his life, he finally found a place to settle down.
He also arranged the best academy for his grandson to pave the way for him and help him take the imperial examination.
That's enough.
The Fourth Prince frowned slightly, "Ghost Doctor, don't be confused. In this world, power is more important than money."
The ghost doctor said bluntly, "You want slaves, but she treats us as family, a family that trusts us completely and supports each other."
Family, what a precious word it is. It has a fatal attraction to people like them who have been wandering for half their lives.
Several princes were momentarily lost in thought. Family? Did they?
The Fourth Prince was dissatisfied, "I didn't expect the Ghost Doctor to be so naive. She is just coveting your abilities."
The ghost doctor showed off proudly, "So what? I am happy and proud."
Yun Zheng looked at these princes. Their brothers had died, but they didn't feel sad at all and were even eager to snatch them away.
One has to sigh that royal family affection is as thin as paper.
She said, "Fourth Prince, you have such a big heart. How can you still be in the mood to bully others?"
The Fourth Prince waved his hand, his expression firm, "I heard that my grandfather has entered the palace, and my mother will be fine."
Yun Zheng chuckled, "You'll be on your own from now on."
"If, there is a future."
The Fourth Prince was horrified. "What do you mean?"
Just then, the door opened and the emperor came out.
The emperor stood on the high steps, his expression deep and gloomy, and the murderous aura emanating from his body made people tremble involuntarily.
"Issue an imperial decree: The eldest prince has suddenly passed away due to illness. The Queen, heartbroken, has also passed away. A state funeral will be held in seven days, with all civil and military officials in attendance."
Like a thunderclap, it exploded above everyone's head, and everyone's expression changed.
The Queen has passed away?!
The Fourth Prince's heart felt as if it had been hit by a heavy hammer, and his face turned as pale as paper.
It’s over, Yun Zheng was right!
Once the queen dies, he will have no one to rely on. Will the Ye family still support him?
Countless thoughts flashed through my mind, and for a moment, I was in a state of confusion.
Yun Zheng was secretly shocked. It was indeed the mind of an emperor. It was too cruel.
The emperor looked at his sons coldly, as if he wanted to see sadness on their faces, but he was destined to be disappointed.
He issued another decree, "All slaves who serve the eldest prince will be beaten to death."
All the slaves collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down their faces.
The emperor's gaze fell on the ghost doctor's face. The ghost doctor trembled all over, and a strong sense of crisis rose in his heart.
"you……"
Yun Zheng reacted quickly and said, "Your Majesty, the poison in the three princes must be removed as soon as possible. I'm afraid the night will drag on and cause more trouble."
This is to remind him that the Ghost Doctor cannot die for the time being.
"I can't help you with anything else, but I can lend you the ghost doctor and have him stay by the princes' side."
She spoke sincerely, "With the Ghost Doctor's ability, even if the person only has one breath left, I can bring him back."
The emperor's murderous intent receded slightly, "So powerful?"
Yun Zheng nodded vigorously, "Masters in both medicine and poison, that's not just talk."
"Oh, I have something to report... Oh, never mind, I'll bring it up later."
The emperor looked at her deeply and said, "Speak."
Yun Zheng cleared her throat and said, "I asked the ghost doctor to research some pills, beauty pills. They make my skin smooth and white."
"Three-flavor pills, if you take them, your hair will turn black."
"I've also made several creams, rouges, and powders for skin care and beauty. They're all excellent."
She paused and looked at the emperor calmly. He listened expressionlessly, not knowing what he was thinking.
She rolled her eyes and said, "I will open another line to specialize in the production and sale of these things. These alone can earn you half of the Imperial Tomb."
The emperor looked up, somewhat surprised.
The Third Prince's voice rang out in a threatening tone, "You must be joking. You can earn so much money with just some cosmetics and beauty pills. Do you think we are stupid?"
"Never underestimate the world's love of beauty. Third Prince, your wives and concubines' dressing tables are piled high with rouge and powder. You can go back and ask how much they spent on it."
"As long as the item is good, they will spend a fortune on it, just to be beautiful."
"I dare say this will be the most profitable line for my Yun's Company."
The Third Prince was incredulous. "There are so many cosmetics shops, why aren't they making as much money as you say?"
Yun Zheng raised a finger and said, "Firstly, because I'm the one who's in charge. If I'm second to none in this world, no one dares to claim first place."
Just so proud and so confident.
She raised another finger, "Secondly, these things are all made by the Ghost Doctor. He's an expert in both medicine and poisons, and the things he develops are hundreds of times more powerful than others."
Everyone gasped.
The fourth prince became jealous and looked at the ghost doctor as if he was looking at a treasure pot, wanting it!
"Is this a powerful alliance?"
Yun Zheng nodded slightly. "Yes, my business acumen, combined with his outstanding R&D capabilities, is unmatched."
She spoke so boldly that the emperor was moved. "Are you sure?"
Yun Zheng saw it and the corners of her mouth rose slightly. As long as a person is valuable enough, she would not be willing to kill him.
"Of course I'm sure. I told him to spend less time researching poisons and more time making profitable ointments and powders..."
She suddenly paused, her eyes lighting up. "Ah, I've come up with another great idea to make money. I'm such a genius!"
Everyone asked in unison, "What is it?"
