Chapter 154: Look at me taking three souls, swoosh swoosh swoosh
[The one who took action ran away long ago! ]
Anyone who can be sent to the palace to carry out a mission must be an expert. In order to avoid losing manpower, they will leave the palace after completing the task.
The emperor felt extremely disappointed.
He thought he treated all his children equally, but he was more strict with the crown prince because he was the heir to the throne.
The talent of the prince is visible to all the ministers, and his temperament is strong yet gentle.
Such a person is suitable to become the next emperor.
Ji Wangshu is quite outstanding, but he has a narrow mind.
If he became emperor, the court would become a one-man show for the emperor, and such a dynasty would not last long.
But the emperor also knew how tempting this position was.
He turned a blind eye to some calculating tricks and just regarded it as competition between brothers.
Now, for the throne, he is willing to attack him, the prince, and even himself. The emperor cannot accept this.
How can such a person love the people as his own children?
The emperor could still hear Concubine Liang's crying, and he felt irritated.
After the Queen noticed the Emperor's mood, she took the other concubines to comfort Concubine Liang.
Another quarter of an hour later, Murong Taiyi arrived.
Murong Taiyi, who was carrying the medicine box, was about to salute when he was excused by the emperor.
"Let's go see the Fourth Prince."
The emperor's voice was very flat. The word "Fourth Prince" made Concubine Liang, whose eyes were swollen like walnuts from crying, tremble all over.
At this time, how could the emperor call out such a cold name.
She looked at Murong Taiyi secretly.
The head of the Imperial Medical Bureau was the most respected imperial physician by the emperor. He had superb medical skills and cured many difficult and complicated diseases in the harem.
She had inquired about the other party's background, but couldn't figure out where he came from.
Although Xiao Si assured her that there was nothing wrong with the medicine and no flaws could be found, Concubine Liang's heart was still beating wildly due to anxiety.
Everyone kept silent while Murong Taiyi was treating the patient.
Observing the changes in his facial expressions, some showed joy, some showed sorrow.
There were still noises outside the bedroom. All the concubines in the harem were out tonight, big and small, but they were stopped outside by the emperor's order.
"What's the situation?" The emperor asked until Murong Taiyi stood up.
"Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince planted a poison called Shocking Powder. After taking this drug, a person can die in a coma without knowing it."
"Fortunately, the person who poisoned the prince did not control the dosage well, and the Fourth Prince's life is safe. I will prescribe a dose of medicine for him now, and he will wake up after taking it."
Murong Taiyi picked up the pen to write.
It takes a lot of time from picking the medicine to decocting it.
"The queen stays, and the rest of you go back."
The emperor waved his hand to disperse the concubines.
They're all chattering here, it's giving me a headache.
"Your Majesty, I feel sorry for Concubine Liang, so please let me accompany her."
Xu Changzai pretended to wipe the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief and stood up to beg.
How can we say that Xu Changzai is the most stubborn one in the harem? She can't see the situation clearly and is not afraid of losing her head at all.
At a time like this, he still wants to use Concubine Liang to win favor.
Didn’t you see that Concubine Liang’s eyes were almost popping out?
"Get back here!" The emperor's mood took a sharp turn for the worse, and that scolding made Xu Changzai's smiling face freeze.
Behind the emperor, someone was laughing.
"Chen and concubine retire."
Kangpin and others left very tactfully, and Xu Changzai followed them with a dry laugh, looking dejected.
After a while, there were only a few people left in the room.
Ji Qionghua was arranged to sit on a chair and guarded by Ruyun.
She didn't make any noise, just watched the drama in the room and yawned.
"Qiong Hua'er, can your mother let Ruyun take you back?"
The queen, worried about the little guy's health, asked softly, and Ji Qionghua shook her head.
[Although I am very sleepy, I still have to eat the melon, otherwise I won’t be able to catch it in the morning. ]
She was still too young, and her will was unable to overcome her body's instincts. She curled up in a small ball on the chair, looking soft.
"Master Huali, since you can tell fortunes for me, why don't you tell fortunes for my Fourth Prince as well?"
The emperor held the ring and looked at Hua Li.
Everything tonight was rushed.
In this case, don't blame him for making malicious speculations.
Emperors have always been suspicious.
"To be honest, Hua Li had already calculated all the divinations before entering the palace. The divinations clearly implicated the Fourth Prince, but the danger would turn out to be a blessing in disguise."
Huali bowed.
As soon as he spoke, he attracted the attention of Concubine Liang.
She knew Hua Li, the central figure in the harem these days.
Many people speculated whether there was a ghost face or a divine face behind the mask.
Of course, what people talk about most is his ability to predict the future, and there are many different opinions as to whether it is true or false.
As soon as Hua Li spoke, Concubine Liang couldn't help but smile.
If he had said these words before, he would have been considered as a prophet, but now that Imperial Physician Murong has arrived, his words seem a bit like he is trying to make excuses for himself.
"Your Majesty, Hua Li has something to say but I'm not sure if I should say it or not."
Hua Li lowered his eyelids and looked in the direction of the emperor, his voice muffled by the mask and a little distorted.
"Say!"
"Your Majesty, Hua Li has predicted that the Fourth Prince's affairs will also involve Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
When these words were spoken, Concubine Liang was shocked.
Concubine Liang, who was sitting on the chair, clenched her fingers for a moment.
The nails are stretched white.
She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but was met with the emperor's eyes that could see through people's hearts.
"Doctor Murong, please give the emperor a checkup."
The Queen spoke, and the Emperor acquiesced.
Murong Taiyi checked the emperor's pulse and his expression became increasingly serious.
After using all the diagnostic methods, Murong Taiyi took out a pack of silver needles.
"Your Majesty, someone has poisoned you with Soul Devouring Powder."
"This drug will gradually corrode the brain, causing lesions and causing people to become insane."
"This medicine is very poisonous. I need acupuncture to remove the poison."
These words fell into silence.
"Doctor Murong, you just said that the Fourth Prince was given Shocking Soul Powder, and the Emperor was given Soul-Devouring Powder. Are these two drugs related?"
The Queen asked, looking worried.
Even though she already knew it, the queen was still afraid.
"there is."
"Both of these drugs come from a poison master named 'Wuhun'."
"This person loves poison and likes to use poison to kill people. He is notorious in the underworld."
"And he is most famous for the medicine he developed a few years ago called 'Sanhun'. Sanhun has three formulas, and each formula has a different effect."
"Frightened people die in their dreams, devouring souls makes people crazy, and ghosts make people stupid."
"These are the three souls that take away life."
When Murong Taiyi mentioned the soulless man, his tone was filled with disgust.
He was born in the Valley of Divine Doctors. Although there were some poison doctors in the valley who were both good and evil, none of them would kill people based on their mood like Wuhun.
Countless innocent people died at his hands.
[It's also called the Three Souls of Death. What a chuunibyou name. 】
[Wuhun, isn't he the third on the Jianghu's Most Wanted List? ]
【Disappeared three years ago, and his whereabouts remain unknown.】
[The reward is one thousand taels, hehehe. 】
[If I have no money in the future, I will go to the government and those on the Jianghu wanted list to earn bounties.]
Ji Qionghua, whose focus was shifted, dreamed of getting rich.
When she looked up, she saw several people in the room looking at her.
