602 Ending Like This (1)
The arsenic had been purified, and the medicinal effect was fast. Almost immediately, the Emperor felt uncomfortable.
After all, the Emperor was someone who had experienced many storms. When he was a prince, he was not as lucky as the Queen who was the only child he had raised by his side. He was the child of the Empress. There was an eldest prince who was the child of the Imperial Honored Consort above him, and the fifth prince of the second Empress below him. There were other brothers and everyone was coveting the position of Crown Prince. He was the largest target as he was the legitimate heir, but without the protection of the Empress and his maternal family, he had suffered as many schemes as Yan Jiuchao.
Of course, he was luckier than Yan Jiuchao. He had a father who could protect him. He had been through many dangers without any mishaps. Nothing happened to him, but he had gained a lot of ability.
The moment the Emperor felt the abnormality, he hurriedly instructed Eunuch Wang, “Sweet locust!”!!
Eunuch Wang also sensed that something was wrong and hurriedly went to the small kitchen to get sweet locust and water.
The Emperor used sweet locust to vomit out the poison in his body. However, some of it was still absorbed. The Emperor’s face turned purple and his forehead turned black. He fell weakly to the ground.
The three little black eggs went to call Yu Wan in shock. Yu Wan knew that he had been poisoned with arsenic when she took his pulse. There was poison like arsenic in the countryside, but it was all used as rat poison. A small spoonful of powder could poison a village of rats.
The arsenic that the Emperor was poisoned with was not ordinary arsenic. It had been purified, and the toxicity was infinitely close to asadin. If the Emperor had not vomited in time, he would have died.
However, even so, the remaining poison in his body was not so easy to remove.
Yu Wan asked Fu Ling to carry the Emperor into the room. Eunuch Wang originally planned to call the guards to carry the Emperor, but he saw a stocky maidservant easily carry the Emperor in. Eunuch Wang suddenly didn’t know what to say.
Yu Wan first used acupuncture to protect the Emperor’s heart meridian and asked Zi Su to call Old Cui over.
“Can I have a break!”
He had to suppress the poison for Yan Jiuchao and heal Helian Beiming’s injuries. It was not easy for him to come to the Queen Manor, but he still had to cooperate with the Prince Consort to pretend to be sick. He felt a headache coming on. It was not easy for him to have some leisure time, and he was fished out to detoxify the Emperor.
“Are all the imperial physicians of Nanzhao dead?!” Old Cui exploded.
Old Cui continued to urge the Emperor to vomit. The Emperor almost vomited bile.
The Emperor had ascended the throne for many years and had long forgotten the feeling of being schemed against. However, at this moment, it surged into his heart, and his mind was filled with fear that was on the verge of death.
He really did not expect that he would encounter such a disaster at his age.
Old Cui was heavy-handed. Firstly, if it was not heavy enough, it wouldn’t protect his life. Secondly, he was about to sleep when he was suddenly woken up. He was very irritable, okay!
After the whole night’s efforts, the Emperor’s life was finally saved. However, he was also tortured badly. He lay on the bed with his hair in a mess. His face was so pale that it was as if he had been ruthlessly ruined.
After such a big thing happened, it was impossible for the Queen Manor to not cause a stir. It was said that the Emperor had been poisoned in Ziwei Pavilion.
The Queen’s first reaction was that her father had come to see her? Her father really had her in his heart!
Her second reaction was, why did Father go straight to the Ziwei Pavilion?
Then, she suddenly stood up. “What did you say? What happened to my father?”
The guard who came to report said, “His Majesty, he’s… he’s… he’s poisoned!”
Nangong Li naturally received the news too, but he was later than the Queen. As he went to the dungeon, it was already late at night when he came out.
The guards in the courtyard reported the Emperor’s poisoning in Ziwei Pavilion to Nangong Li.
Nangong Li did not think that the Emperor was here to visit the Queen. It was most likely because he had heard that the Prince Consort had woken up and was here to interrogate him. Therefore, it was not strange for him to appear at Ziwei Pavilion.
His grandfather had been poisoned in Ziwei Pavilion. No matter who did it, they must be related to that group of people from Ziwei Pavilion. Now, there was no need for him to sow discord between the Queen and the Prince Consort. The Emperor had to wipe out that group of people first.
He had been overwhelmed by the matter of the three quasi-Asuras and did not think of himself for a moment. It was not until he took a few sips of tea in a row that he felt that something was wrong. “Wait, how was the Emperor poisoned?”
The guard said, “Apparently… he ate a mouthful of candied hawthorn.”
Nangong Li’s expression changed!
The Emperor was weak for an entire night in the Ziwei Pavilion. He only had the strength to deal with his poisoning case the next day.
