Zhumen Hangui

Chapter 525 Poisoning
The emperor was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "The bones of the third brother are not cold, but the courtiers all say that we must establish a crown prince."

"Do you think that the fourth prince will become a wise king? Is it right or wrong for me to appoint him as the crown prince?"

The emperor seemed a little confused. He had to pick and choose among the five sons, and felt that this seat was given to no one at ease.

The eldest prince disappointed him so much that he abolished the crown prince.

Originally, I was interested in the second child, but the second child also made a mistake.Next is the third and fifth children.

The fifth child is his favorite son, but now the fifth child is also imprisoned in the clan mansion.

"You seem to have no other choice now." Su Yizhao didn't know how to answer this question, so he could only seek truth from facts.

The emperor shook his head and laughed, "Yes! Only the fourth child is left, and it can only be him."

"The fourth one is honest and kind. He always does his best. Although he is moderate, he has no big mistakes. It's okay to be conservative."

Su Yizhao glanced at the emperor, do you think it's true or not?This father doesn't seem to know his son very well?
The emperor is!Su Jinxun is!So is Duanyang King!
But Su Yizhao thought about it, but still didn't believe it.The emperor is so shrewd, would he not suspect the fourth prince?He's the only one left, why should he be suspicious?

"In the past few days, I heard that the fourth brother is distributing medicine outside the city. Those refugees are very grateful. I am very pleased that he cares about the people."

Listening to the emperor's words, Su Yizhao once again cursed in his heart, why do I think you are so insincere?

"The fourth prince is honest and kind, and he cares about the people, which is the blessing of the people. It is his duty to share your worries and labors for the emperor."

Su Yizhao said something high-sounding, but the emperor just waved his hand.

"For the fifth case, you should waste your time." The emperor coughed violently as soon as he finished speaking.

"What's wrong with you?" Su Yizhao stepped forward to support the bent body of the emperor, and saw Xu Luo who was guarding outside came in.

"The emperor?" Xu Luo stepped forward to support the emperor, but saw that the emperor was still coughing.

"Cough cough! Uh!" The emperor felt his throat itchy, and picked up the handkerchief to cover his mouth.

Just as he stopped coughing, Su Yizhao felt his body sinking in his hands.

"Your Majesty?" Su Yizhao found out that the Emperor had fainted, and quickly asked Xu Luo to pass on to the imperial physician.

Outside the imperial study room, Su Yizhao suddenly felt very heavy when he saw the imperial physicians entering one after another.

"Doctor Xu, what do you say?" Su Yizhao asked quickly when an imperial doctor came out.

"The emperor has been poisoned." Doctor Xu's face was solemn, "And it's a chronic poison."

Su Yizhao was horrified, "How is it possible? The emperor's food is tested for poison in advance, how could he be poisoned? Then why didn't you find out when you asked for the emperor's pulse before?"

Imperial Physician Xu also had an ugly face, "This poison is called Zhanluo, and it is a kind of poison from the Mia tribe outside the Guan. This poison is colorless and tasteless, and no symptoms can be seen in the early stage of taking it; in the middle period, it will start to lethargy, and the complexion will turn green. The cough persists; in the later stage, he coughs up blood and goes into a coma, and medicine and stones do not replace it."

Seeing that only Su Yizhao was here, Imperial Physician Xu dared to tell the truth.If other courtiers know, then he will die.

"The emperor has already reached the late stage?" Su Yizhao was shocked, "It's not without symptoms in the middle stage. You always said that the emperor has not recovered from the cold, but why don't you suspect poisoning?"

"The emperor's condition is good and bad, and the emperor is already old, so it doesn't match the mid-term symptoms too much, so we didn't think much about it!

What's more, the upper Mia tribe was annexed ten years ago. That flower was originally cultivated by the high priest of the Mia tribe, and the high priest was beheaded as a demon. Who would think so much? "

Imperial Physician Xu was also very annoyed, and at the same time panicked.He is now in a war between the two, and he is afraid that the courtiers will accuse him of crimes.

"How long has the emperor been poisoned? Is there an antidote?"

"This poison has been lost for a long time, the high priest is dead, where is there any antidote? The emperor has been poisoned for at least a year."

"What? It's been so long?"

Su Yizhao recalled that since last year, the emperor's health has been deteriorating, and he did not expect to be poisoned.

The current situation is whether to notify the courtiers, but once the notification is made, the matter will be overwhelmed and it will easily cause panic.

However, if she did not notify, she would not be able to control the palace, and there would be misunderstandings, saying that she intended to control the emperor.

"When will the emperor wake up? Is there any other medicine that can cure?" Su Yizhao grabbed hold of Imperial Physician Xu and asked.

"After getting the needle, I can wake up in about an hour."

As soon as Imperial Doctor Xu finished speaking, he heard a sobbing sound from over there. Su Yizhao turned his head to look, and found that it was the empress wearing a phoenix robe?
Isn't the empress under house arrest in the middle palace?In the past few years, even at the end of the year, the imperial palace hosted a banquet for the officials, and the empress had never attended it.

"Your majesty!" The empress was crying and wiping away her tears as she rushed towards the imperial study.

"I see the empress!"

Su Yizhao hurriedly saluted, no matter how he came out or got the news, she would eventually salute.

However, only she, Xu Luo, and a few imperial physicians knew that the emperor was unconscious. How did the news get out?

"Your Majesty! I heard that the Emperor has been poisoned, and my concubine came to visit me."

The empress yelled in pity, and then said angrily to Imperial Physician Xu: "Princess Xu, you have always been the emperor's pulse examiner? What should you do?"

Doctor Xu was so frightened that he immediately knelt down on the ground, "Your servant should die!"

"If you can't find the antidote, just wait for the head to fall!" Resentment flashed in the empress's eyes, and she was about to enter the imperial study.

Su Yizhao suddenly took a step forward and stopped in front of the queen.

"Your Majesty! The imperial doctor ordered that you should not disturb the Emperor before he wakes up."

Why does she feel that the queen's arrival is not kind?It's better to stop it first.

The queen raised her brows immediately, "How dare you, a little fifth-rank official, stop me?"

"Your Majesty, the imperial doctor told the emperor to rest. When the emperor wakes up, you can visit me again!"

Xu Luo came out suddenly and said to the empress.

"Emperor doctor? Those are quack doctors, they can't even tell if the emperor is poisoned. Now that the emperor is in a coma, I naturally have to take on the heavy responsibility."

The queen glared, and then ordered the imperial physician to be taken down.

"Your Majesty, the emperor still needs to be treated by the imperial physician. If you arrest the imperial physician, who will heal the emperor?" Xu Luo hurriedly dissuaded.

Su Yizhao watched coldly from the side, the empress really came in a bad way, this is taking advantage of the emperor's coma and began to monopolize the power.

"Naturally, we invited experts from the folk apricot forest to recruit wise men to diagnose and treat the emperor."

As the queen spoke, she suddenly thought of something.

"I heard that the emperor has been poisoned by chronic poison for more than a year. The emperor usually has people who test the medicine, and the person who poisoned him must be the closest person around him."

The queen pointed at Xu Luo and shouted angrily, "Xu Luo, is that you? You poisoned the emperor, right?"
