Murong Zheng originally thought that Concubine Dong was angry with him for leaving her in Qingliang Palace for several days without paying any attention to her, so she acted recklessly and caused him to be poisoned.
However, the imperial physician could cure most poisons, but he did not expect that he would need the Ruyi Bottle.
How could she, a woman in the deep palace, get such poison? Did she really want to take her own life
No, it's impossible. She didn't even care about her own life for him, how could she do such a thing.
Murong Zheng instinctively denied it in his heart, but after the denial, the panic in his heart became even greater.
The facts are before our eyes, everything is so clear that we can't even deceive ourselves.
"Go tell the queen not to let anyone know that I have cured the poison. You too, if the news gets out, you will die."
As soon as Murong Zheng finished speaking, the imperial doctors in the bedroom knelt obediently on the ground, and a clever little eunuch turned around to chase the Queen.
After leaving Murong Zheng's bedroom, the queen hurried back to her Fengqi Palace. Since the emperor had been blinded by lust, she felt that anything she did was in vain. She simply threw away the queen's accusations and lived a carefree life as she had planned before.
At least, it saves you from being sad.
After the young eunuch caught up with the queen and told her what the emperor meant, the queen only smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry, I will never tell anyone about his affairs. From now on, his life or death has nothing to do with me."
After the queen finished speaking, she continued to walk quickly towards the Qifeng Palace. The eunuch left behind by her was embarrassed. How could he tell the emperor about the queen's heartless words? If the emperor got angry, would he vent his anger on him
The young eunuch returned to the emperor's bedroom trembling with fear. Fortunately, the emperor was already lying quietly on the bed, looking as if he had been poisoned and had not yet woken up.
The young eunuch breathed a sigh of relief, but the people outside the palace were extremely anxious. Just now, the Queen left with a gloomy face, and when they asked the Emperor how he was, she just shook her head, which made them intuitively feel that something was wrong with the Emperor.
They were anxiously waiting for the imperial physician to come out of the hall so that they could ask about the emperor's health, but the imperial physicians were all in the hall and no one had come out for a long time.
No one can enter the emperor's bedroom without being summoned, except the empress.
They could only wait anxiously for the good news that the emperor had been cured of the poison and woke up, but they didn't expect that instead of the news about the emperor, the imperial edict regarding the crown prince came.
The one who brought the imperial eunuch was the young eunuch who served Concubine Dong. He was no longer as cautious as he was a few days ago. He looked at the concubines and the princes and princesses outside the palace with a haughty manner and said, "Before the emperor was poisoned, he wrote an imperial edict. After his death, the third prince Murong Jie will inherit the throne."
The young eunuch didn't even open the imperial edict, but just spoke briefly.
"Eunuch Wan, are you here to announce our father's oral order or the imperial decree?" The eldest prince looked up at Eunuch Wan and asked softly.
"Your Highness, words are not enough. I have brought the Emperor's decree with me. Do you want me to read it out in public, or..."
"Give it to me." Before Eunuch Wan could finish his words, Murong Kai had already stretched out his hand towards him. Eunuch Wan wanted to take it, but he didn't expect that while he was speaking, Murong Kai's wheelchair moved forward a step. When he finished speaking, the imperial edict had already fallen into Murong Kai's hands.
Murong Kai turned his wheelchair and handed the imperial edict to the eldest prince. Several princes gathered around the eldest prince and looked at the words on the imperial edict.
"This is our father's handwriting. There is no problem with the seal." Even though they did not believe the authenticity of the imperial edict, looking at the edict in their hands, they could only admit this fact.
"Impossible, how could Father pass the throne to the fourth child? Father..."
"We need to think about this matter carefully..."
