His Majesty was assassinated, what a big deal! Almost instantly, everyone rushed to His Majesty's bedroom, fearing that if they were late, they would arouse His Majesty's suspicion and miss the opportunity to show their loyalty.
At this critical moment, except for Shen Xihe and Xiao Huayong who had known that His Majesty would arrange for an assassination today, everyone was concerned about His Majesty for whatever purpose. Even as smart as Xiao Changqing and Xiao Changyan, they did not think that His Majesty's assassination was fake.
The consequence of coming out in full force is that there is no one where they live, which is a huge loophole.
Because Shen Xihe and his friends were closer, they arrived first. When they arrived, the imperial physician was already treating Emperor Youning's wound, and a palace maid came out carrying a basin of blood-stained water.
Xiao Huayong hurried inside. Shen Xihe walked side by side with him, supporting him who looked pale. After entering the room, he could not help but cough a few times. The couple walked up to Emperor Youning and after paying their respects, Xiao Huayong asked the imperial physician with concern, "How is your majesty's injury?"
In fact, the fact that the blood was carried out and Emperor Youning was able to sit back and meet people showed that his injury was not serious. If the injury was really serious, the emperor would have to keep it secret tightly, otherwise some people with ulterior motives would take the opportunity to do something.
The imperial physician looked at Emperor Youning and said after getting permission: "Your Majesty's wound is not deep, it was just poison smeared with a knife. This poison is rare and although it does not kill the person immediately, it also attacks very quickly. Fortunately, I have seen this poison and I have the antidote in my hand."
And also applied poison
Shen Xihe raised his eyebrows and said inconspicuously: "Your Majesty, the female doctor and my subordinates beside me have some experience in detoxification. I dare not doubt the ability of the imperial physician. However, Your Highness and I are worried about Your Majesty. If Your Majesty does not give up, can you allow me to call them to take Your Majesty's pulse again?"
Whether Emperor Youning was poisoned or not was entirely up to the imperial physician. Shen Xihe did not believe that Emperor Youning would be willing to spend so much money to poison himself. Even an assassin with great stamina could not sneak into the room where His Majesty was resting without making any noise. This was clearly an "assassin" that Emperor Youning had hired himself. If Emperor Youning was 20 years younger, Shen Xihe would believe that His Majesty would spend so much money. But now...
"I'm fine now. I appreciate the kindness of you and Qilang." Emperor Youning refused as expected.
Shen Xihe did not insist. She thought that if she did not have two right-hand men who were well-known to be good at medicine, Emperor Youning would probably collude with the imperial physician and lie down in danger of death.
Because of the existence of Zhenzhu and Sui Axi, Emperor Youning's plan cannot be implemented. Once the imperial physician is "incompetent" to detoxify, she will naturally send people around her to help. Can His Majesty really take poison
Of course it is impossible. Moreover, after the incident in the northwest, Emperor Youning was wary of him because she had a "miracle doctor" hiding in the dark who could hide from all the doctors in the city.
It would be very embarrassing if the emperor were to be found out while pretending to be poisoned.
When Shen Xihe was asking for His Majesty's opinion, several princes including the Fifth Prince Xin Xiao Changqing and the Eighth Prince Jing Xiao Changyan also arrived one after another. They heard Shen Xihe's words outside the house, and each of them had different thoughts.
The second prince, Prince Zhao Xiao Changmin, the third prince, Prince Dai Xiao Changzhen, and the ninth prince, Xiao Changying, all felt that His Majesty did not trust the Crown Princess.
Xiao Changqing felt that this was not a sign of distrust. His Majesty was definitely not a stupid person. He must know in his heart that it was impossible for the Crown Princess to send someone to assassinate His Majesty in Xiangguo Temple. If Shen Xihe really wanted to do something, he would not just send one person, but would use a series of killing moves.
