Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 720: Old Zhu was actually plotted against

"No big problem, just a bit irritable, and someone poisoned me."

"Fortunately the poison is not serious. It seems that they are planning to slowly kill you, the emperor."

"I'll give you a prescription. You can find someone you trust to prescribe and boil the medicine yourself!"

Aunt Jiang said this in a very calm and nonchalant manner, but Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma were horrified when they heard it.

"What?"

"Were we poisoned?"

"Old lady, are you seeing right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up at this moment, looking at Aunt Jiang opposite him with anger on his face, but a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

Poisoning?

Or is it a chronic poison, thinking of slowly killing yourself?

Who did this?
Although Zhu Yuanzhang said he didn't believe it, he was actually already thinking about how to let Mao Xiang find this person.

He didn't trust the old woman opposite him, whom he was dealing with for the first time and whose background he didn't even know.

He believes in Queen Ma!
Since Empress Ma could ask this old woman to diagnose her pulse and prescribe medicine for her, she must be trustworthy.

They have been married for decades, so they still have some trust in each other.

But he would keep these words deep in his heart and never say them out loud.

After all, he is the Hongwu Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. How could he not have any face?

"Grandma, is Chongba really poisoned?"

"You are well-informed, maybe you can tell what kind of poison Chongba was poisoned with?"

"You don't know that the palace is very careful about what Chongba eats."

"I can't imagine who could have poisoned Chongba's food!"

Queen Ma asked the question that concerned her most.

For her, since Zhu Yuanzhang was only slightly poisoned and could be cured, there was no need to deal with it in a hurry.

On the contrary, the poisoning incident is the real big deal.

If this problem is not resolved, what will happen in the future?

If we keep such a scourge in the palace, who knows what kind of chaos it will cause.

Aunt Jiang glanced at the most distinguished couple in the Ming Dynasty opposite her, drank a sip of tea without panicking, and then spoke softly.

"I think someone is targeting your husband."

"The person who poisoned the person must have some skills, and he must have been in the Yuan Dynasty palace before."

"Because this poison is from a type of incense that was once used in the palace of the Yuan Dynasty."

"It smells nice and my body doesn't react to it. Instead, I feel quite comfortable."

"But if time goes on for a long time, this person will become more and more irritable, and finally die of anger!"

"When we get back, check the incense in your house and you'll know. This thing is not available to ordinary people!"

After hearing Aunt Jiang's certainty, Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma looked at each other in confusion.

Because they really couldn't remember what the problem was.

"Grandma, if it's a problem with the incense, then why am I fine?"

"Zhongba and I usually live together. Even the incense he has is arranged by me."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Jiang looked up at Empress Ma and then smiled playfully.

"Who said that incense can only be lit in the palace?"

"The clothes your husband is wearing are obviously fumigated with that kind of incense!"

"If you want to investigate, find out who prepared this incense!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhu Yuanzhang's old face was completely pulled down.

At this moment, he thought of many problems that he had not noticed in the past, and his face turned completely dark.

Just think about it, the person who could touch his clothes and arrange for such incense to be used for a long time must be someone close to him.

This kind of person actually wants him dead?

What shocking news is this?
But before he could ask anything else, Aunt Jiang had already quickly written out a prescription and handed it to the two of them.

"You two, although the poison is not serious and will not kill people in a short time, you should get the detoxification medicine as soon as possible!" Queen Ma took the prescription, just took a look at it, and then held it solemnly in her hand.

"Aunt, I will remember your kindness."

"Let's take Chongba away first, you take a rest!"

After saying this, without waiting for the other side to reply, he directly pulled Zhu Yuanzhang out of the room.

The couple came to the study room where the files were previously stored in silence.

"Chongba, who did you think of?"

"Ok!"

"Who's behind him?"

"Who else could it be? Those officials who are not afraid of death!"

"What are you going to do?"

"I……"

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent.

If it were usual, he would have stood up in a rage, holding up the butcher knife and killing people indiscriminately.

But unfortunately, he just had a talk with Zhu Biao today.

As luck would have it, one thing was mentioned in the middle, which was that Zhu Biao felt that from now on, the duties of the imperial physicians and the imperial kitchen would need to be adjusted.

Zhu Yuanzhang was still making fun of Zhu Biao, thinking that his fat son was making a fuss out of nothing. No one dared to attack the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

But now it seems that I am the joke.

It turns out that they had already started taking action.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang felt creepy.

Obviously, the other party has his life and death completely in his hands.

Since they can deliver this kind of chronic poison, it proves that the other party can also deliver a strong poison.

To put it bluntly, if you want Zhu Yuanzhang to die at a certain time, he will die at that time.

This feeling of having one's life and death in the hands of others and having everything decided by others was both a fear and a shame for Zhu Yuanzhang.

But... he hesitated.

If I follow my original approach and kill a large number of them, will that solve all the problems?

I have killed quite a few before.

Tens of thousands were killed.

But the result?

Not only did he fail to solve the problem, but he ended up bringing trouble upon himself, and he almost couldn't live like this anymore.

If I kill another batch this time, doesn't it mean that I will continue to face this danger in the future, and even my descendants will have to face this danger as well?
After all, he really didn't think that he could completely solve the problem by killing one more batch.

Thinking of this, he looked up at Queen Ma.

"Sister, let Biao'er investigate the palace affairs!"

"It's time for him to take charge."

"It just so happens that today he told me that he wanted to change the rules of the Imperial Hospital and the Imperial Kitchen."

"I didn't expect that he actually guessed it right!"

"But, sister, is that old woman reliable?"

"I didn't get poisoned in the palace, but after taking this dose of medicine, I really got poisoned!"

Queen Ma shook her head slightly.

"Grandma Jiang is trustworthy. Her father is a great doctor, and she has also learned medicine since she was a child. After she got married, she also followed her husband to prescribe medicine."

"It's just that during the war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, her family suffered a tragic disaster, and after that she only treated women."

"But her medical skills are not just for women!"

"Besides, she saved my life!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes suddenly lit up and his whole aura rose.

"Sister, are you poisoned too?" (End of this chapter)
