"You!" The prince who was kneeling on the ground looked shocked and looked at the doctor in disbelief, "Mr. Peng! What are you talking about?"
Now that the name Prince had been called out, Doctor Peng, who was trembling on the ground, had nothing to worry about.
"It's the crown prince. His Highness is threatening my wife and children. I can't do anything about it," he cried.
The prince was furious: "I told you to take a closer look at the medicine His Majesty used. Is it really the same as Dr. Hu's? When did you ask you to change the medicine?" He knelt down to the emperor and said, "Father, my son and I are here again.
You are not an animal, how could I do such a thing? Father, you are my support, but someone is trying to frame me."
As he spoke, he leaned on the ground and began to cry.
"My son, I have not done well these days. I lost my temper a lot. I know that many people hate me. Father -"
"Why do I want to harm my father? If I want to be the emperor, but whether my father is here or not, I will be the next emperor. Why would I do such an unreasonable thing?"
"If you say that I want to harm my father, you are clearly harming me!"
There was silence in the palace. The fact that the prince had murdered the emperor was very relevant. Hearing the prince's words at this time, it made sense. It was indeed far-fetched to rely solely on this imperial doctor's testimony - maybe someone else was really using this imperial doctor to frame the prince.
Whether the emperor is here or not, the prince will be the next emperor. But if the prince harms the emperor, then it is time for someone else to be the prince.
The courtiers couldn't help but look at the three princes and even the two concubines——
King Qi looked calm, King Yan turned pale, and King Lu broke out in sweat.
"This has nothing to do with me." King Lu couldn't help shouting, "If you harm the prince, it won't be my turn to be the prince."
These words made the people in the room look stunned. It was outrageous!
"Father, this should have nothing to do with them." The prince said proactively, raising his head and looking at the emperor, "Because of the sixth brother's matter, I have been on guard against them, detaining them in the palace, and not letting them get close to my father."
Everything about-"
He emphasized the word "sixth brother".
The emperor understood what he meant. The sixth brother, Chu Yurong, the son who had served as the iron-faced general, had spies and hidden men all over the palace. He was the person most capable of murdering the emperor, and he was also the most powerful person today.
Someone who wanted to murder the emperor.
After all, the emperor told him the truth before and also personally told him to kill Chu Yurong.
No matter whether it is the king or the father who wants the minister or the son to die, the minister refuses to die——
The emperor said nothing, his eyes flickered.
The prince kept staring at the emperor's expression, and sneered in his heart when he saw this. Fuqing also felt that it was unreliable to find this imperial physician. Yes, this imperial physician was indeed unreliable, but if you really want to use a reliable imperial physician who has been with you for several years, then you are unreliable - once
Once caught, there is no chance to defend.
The imperial physician who was randomly found and expelled at the slightest threat would be done once he was successful. If something went wrong, there would be no previous contacts and no clues could be drawn.
Fortunately, he has a habit of thinking about the worst outcome before doing things, otherwise today would really be——
The emperor didn't speak, but others began to speak. Some ministers questioned the imperial doctor, and some asked eunuch Jinzhong how he investigated this person. The palace became chaotic, and the previous tension and stagnation dissipated.
"Your Highness," a voice said, "If Dr. Peng is not enough to testify, what about Dr. Hu?"
This sentence broke into his ears, and a chill ran down the prince's spine. Everyone in the palace also looked at the sound.
The speaker was Chu Xiurong, who was standing aside. His expression was calm and his voice was gentle: "Everyone knows that Dr. Hu was killed, but fortunately, Dr. Hu did not die."
That Doctor Hu was not dead? Everyone in the palace was shocked, but it seemed that the body was never found - and they did not pay attention to the body of a dead doctor.
But how did King Qi know?
The prince couldn't believe it: "Third brother, what did you say? Doctor Hu is not dead? What's going on?"
Chu Xiurong looked at him and smiled slightly: "What's going on, let Dr. Hu take his horse and come with you to tell the prince."
Even Ma Du—the prince's face could no longer hide his livid face. He wanted to say something, but the emperor had already spoken.
"It seems that Dr. Hu cured me." He said, "It was not Zhang Yuan who developed the medicine."
Zhang Yuanjian, who was standing at the back of the ministers, knelt down and said, "Please forgive me for lying, the medicine your Majesty has been taking these past few days was indeed made by Doctor Hu, but -"
"My son asked Yuan Zhang to conceal it," Chu Xiurong said. "Because Dr. Hu was killed before, my son felt that something was fishy, so he hid the news and didn't let him appear until his father was cured."
The prince pointed at him: "Chu Xiurong, you, you are so bold -"
Not only is he so brave, but he is also very capable! Was he the one who saved Dr. Hu? How did he do it?
Do you rely on your strategy to win scholars, your reputation among scholars? Reputation is not a manpower, but it can quietly ruin his plan under the escort of his troops and the emperor's secret guards!
What should he say to deal with the current situation?
This was a scene he had never considered——
The prince's thoughts were confused for a moment and he was no longer as calm as before.
"Bring him in." The emperor looked past the prince toward the door, "I thought I had no chance to meet this Doctor Hu."
The prince's hand pointing at Chu Xiurong slowly dropped, and his heart slowly dropped.
Doctor Hu limped in, supported by two eunuchs. Behind him, several guards carried a horse. The horse was still alive, but its leg was broken.
As soon as he saw the emperor sitting on the bed, Doctor Hu immediately knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty! You finally woke up!" He started to cry.
The emperor said: "Thank you very much. Since I took your medicine, I can break through the trap and wake up."
Dr. Hu cried: "Your Majesty is your true destiny. Your destiny lies here. May you be blessed with great blessings and a long life——"
Hearing that he was about to continue speaking incoherently, the emperor smiled and interrupted him: "Okay, we will talk about these words later. You first tell me, who wants to harm you?"
Doctor Hu wiped away his tears and pointed at the prince: "It's the prince!"
Alas, it’s the prince again. All the eyes in the palace are once again focused on the prince, again and again—
The prince seemed to be angry and laughed: "You are alone again, where is the evidence? You were not in trouble in the palace -"
Doctor Hu interrupted him: "It's your man, your eunuch -" He turned his hand and pointed at a eunuch standing behind the prince in the room.
This eunuch was standing next to Fu Qing, which showed his status next to the prince. The people in the palace followed Doctor Hu's hand and looked over, and most of them recognized him.
The eunuch turned pale.
"Fucai!" Dr. Hu shouted bitterly, "You were riding beside me and stabbed a poisonous needle into my horse. You were still smiling at me, and your mouth shape told me to go to hell. I saw it.
Clearly!"
The prince couldn't help but look at Fu Cai. This idiot just did what he did. Why did he talk so much because he was sure that Dr. Hu had no chance of survival? You idiot, he was ruined by these two idiots.
The eunuch who was called Fucai knelt on the ground, trembling like the previous eunuch.
"Your Majesty." He said tremblingly, "This, this is the work of this slave. I have a personal grudge against Doctor Hu, and it has nothing to do with the prince -"
As he spoke, he hit the pillar on the side.
There were screams in the palace, but the next moment Eunuch Fucai screamed and fell to his knees on the ground, blood slowly seeping from his legs, and a black wooden hairpin was inserted into his knees like a dagger.
