Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

Thinking of this, a glimmer of hope ignited in Chu Ze's eyes. He staggered to his feet and walked out.

He must get these two medicinal herbs as soon as possible!

Chu Ze struggled to support his weak body and stumbled to the treasury. Seeing that he was pale and breathless, the guards hurried forward and asked, "Your Majesty, what happened to you?"

"I'm fine. Come on, bring us the Tianshan Snow Lotus that was tributed from the Western Regions!" Chu Ze ordered, suppressing his discomfort.

The guard did not dare to delay and quickly brought the Tianshan Snow Lotus.

Chu Ze grabbed the Tianshan Snow Lotus and put it into his mouth without caring about anything else, and started chewing. A cool feeling instantly spread throughout his body, making him feel better.

Next, he would go to the Queen Mother's bedroom to get the thousand-year-old ice silk.

The Empress Dowager's bedroom was heavily guarded. Chu Ze wanted to sneak in, but due to his weak body, he had to bite the bullet and walk in.

The Queen Mother was resting. When she heard the noise, she opened her eyes and saw Chu Ze. She was startled: "Emperor? Why are you here? Why do you look so bad?"

"Queen Dowager, I need the thousand-year-old ice silk cloak in your bedroom to save my life!" Chu Ze did not bother to explain too much and directly stated his purpose.

Seeing how anxious he was, the Queen Mother did not bother to ask any further questions and immediately ordered someone to bring him a cloak.

Chu Ze took the cloak, tore off a piece without hesitation, and put it into his mouth. The thousand-year-old ice silk melted in his mouth, turning into a warm current that flowed through his body.

After taking the two medicinal herbs, Chu Ze felt that the toxins in his body were suppressed and his breathing became much smoother.

He breathed a sigh of relief and said to the Queen Mother: "Thank you for saving my life."

The Queen Mother then had the opportunity to ask, "Emperor, what happened to you? What kind of poison did you take?"

Chu Ze told the Queen Mother about the assassination attempt tonight.

After hearing this, the Queen Mother flew into a rage: "How dare they assassinate the Emperor! I will tear these assassins into pieces!"

"Queen, calm down. This matter still needs to be considered in the long run." Chu Ze said, "The most important thing now is to find out the identity of the assassins and the mastermind behind them."

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "The Emperor is right. I will send someone to investigate right away."

Chu Ze rested for a night in the Queen Mother's bedroom. The next day, he felt that he had recovered a lot, but the toxins in his body were not completely eliminated, and he still needed to continue looking for a way to detoxify.

By this time, the news of his assassination had spread throughout the palace.

There was an uproar in the government and the country.

Who dared to assassinate the emperor?
What kind of conspiracy is hidden behind this?
While Chu Ze was secretly investigating the assassin, he suddenly received news that the Southern Chu army was approaching and approaching the city!
This sudden news caught Chu Ze off guard.

He had a vague feeling that all this seemed to be related to the mysterious assassin...

Chu Ze barely spent the night in the Queen Mother's palace. The next morning, his face was still pale, but he forced himself to go to court. The cold touch of the dragon chair made him shudder, and he almost fell down.

"Your Majesty, are you not feeling well?" Prime Minister Li Shanchang asked with concern, with a barely perceptible tentativeness in his tone.

Chu Ze took a deep breath, suppressed the discomfort caused by the surging toxins in his body, and said in a cold tone: "I am fine, what do you have to report?"

"Your Majesty, the army of Southern Chu is approaching and is at the gates of the city. It is extremely urgent!" Minister of War Zhang Yong stepped out with an anxious look on his face.

Chu Ze's heart sank. It was as expected. The assassin last night and the invasion of Nanchu were definitely not coincidental. It seemed that someone wanted to kill him.

"Urgent? Ha, I think Lord Zhang is scared, right? A mere Nanchu dares to offend the Ming Dynasty?" Chu Ze sneered, his eyes swept across the ministers in the court like a knife, his tone was full of the majesty of the emperor and a hint of ruthlessness, "Does Lord Zhang think that I can be bullied just because I am seriously ill?" Zhang Yong was frightened by Chu Ze's eyes and trembled all over. He knelt down quickly: "I dare not! I am just worried..."

"Worried? What are you worried about?" Chu Ze interrupted him, "Are you worried that I will pass away and there will be no one in charge of the Ming Dynasty? Or are you worried that your entire Zhang family will become victims of Nan Chu's sword?"

Zhang Yong's forehead was covered with sweat, and he kowtowed like crazy: "I have absolutely no such intention! I am loyal to Your Majesty, and the sun and the moon can testify to that!"

"Loyal?" Chu Ze sneered, "If he is loyal, why is he so panicked? Could it be that Lord Zhang is colluding with Nan Chu?"

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the court. Zhang Yong was so frightened that his face turned pale and he kept shouting that he was innocent.

Chu Ze narrowed his eyes. He knew that Zhang Yong might not know the truth, but his panicked look undoubtedly fueled the panic of the court officials and gave the enemies who were lurking in secret an opportunity to take advantage.

"Alright," Chu Ze waved his hand, his tone softened, "Master Zhang, please get up. I know you are also thinking about the Ming Dynasty."

Zhang Yong then felt as if he had been pardoned and stood up tremblingly.

"If Southern Chu invades, I will handle it myself," Chu Ze glanced at the ministers, "You don't have to panic. I will give the order right away, mobilize the troops, and lead the army in person. I will make sure that the barbarians of Southern Chu will not return!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" all the ministers shouted in unison.

After the court session, Chu Ze endured the discomfort and returned to the imperial study. He had to find a way to detoxify as soon as possible, otherwise, he would not be able to lead the army in person.

"Your Majesty," the personal eunuch Xiao Dezi came in with a bowl of medicine, "This is the detoxifying soup that the imperial physician has just prepared. You should drink it while it's hot."

Chu Ze took the medicine bowl, and a pungent smell of medicine hit him, making his stomach churn. He took a deep breath, suppressed his nausea, and drank the medicine in one gulp.

"Cough cough..." The medicine was so bitter that his throat tightened and he couldn't help coughing.

Xiao Dezi quickly stepped forward and patted him on the back: "Your Majesty, are you okay?"

"It's okay," Chu Ze waved his hand, "I just need to rest for a while."

He closed his eyes, leaned back on the dragon chair, and tried to suppress the poison surging in his body. However, the poison was extremely stubborn and no medicine could cure it.

Suddenly, he remembered a painting he had seen in the Queen Mother's bedroom before. The painting depicted a quiet valley with a spring in the valley. The spring water was so clear that you could see the bottom, and there were many exotic flowers and plants around it.

He remembered that the Queen Mother once said that the valley was called "Medicine King Valley" and that in the valley lived a strange man who was proficient in medicine and was named "Medicine King".

Perhaps, the King of Medicine can cure the poison in his body!

Thinking of this, Chu Ze suddenly opened his eyes, and a glimmer of hope ignited in his eyes.

"Xiao Dezi," he called, "prepare the horses, I need to leave the palace for a while!"

"Your Majesty, your health is not good. It is not suitable for you to travel!" Xiao Dezi advised anxiously.

"I have made up my mind, no need to say more!" Chu Ze said in a firm tone.

He has to take a gamble!
……

Yaowang Valley is located deep in the mountains, with steep terrain and few people. Chu Ze bumped along the way and finally arrived at the entrance of the valley at sunset.

At the entrance of the valley, a white-haired old man was sitting on a rock with his eyes closed, resting.

"Excuse me, old man, are you the Medicine King?" Chu Ze dismounted, stepped forward and asked with a bow. (End of this chapter)
