Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

After rigorous interrogation by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the real cause of King Zhao's poisoning was quickly found out.

It turned out that when King Zhao was ambushed by the enemy, not only his legs were shattered, but he was also hit by an arrow, which was smeared with poison.

Although he was lucky enough to recover his life afterwards, he became a useless person, and the toxins had been accumulated in his body all the time. He could only rely on drinking medicine to slow down the toxicity, but could not cure it completely.

In addition, the decoction that King Zhao drank was also found to be toxic.

This also explains why King Zhao has more than one kind of poison in his body.

Not only the enemy army wanted his life, but there were also people in Shangjing City who wanted his life.

Now that the two kinds of toxicity are mixed together, and the poison is added to the poison, if King Zhao's physique is not strong, he may have died in Huangquan long ago.

After listening to the report from Minister of the Ministry of Justice, the emperor's expression became extremely ugly.

There was an oppressive feeling in the room.

Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice lowered his head, not daring to take a breath.

Wu Wang hurried in.

"Report to Your Majesty, King Zhao is awake."

The emperor asked the Minister of the Ministry of Justice to continue to investigate to see who was so bold as to poison King Zhao's decoction.

Then he hurried to the bedroom.

At this time Li Ji was lying on the bed, his face was pale, his breath was weak, the look in his black eyes seemed to have disappeared, leaving only a vast expanse of space.

Seeing this, the emperor felt more distressed and blamed himself.

He often summoned Li Ji, but he failed to realize that he had already been poisoned to death.

Li Ji wanted to get up and salute, but was stopped by the emperor.

"Lie down in peace and don't move."

The emperor looked at the imperial physician's order and asked how the diagnosis and treatment were going.

The Imperial Physician Ling wiped the cold sweat off his head, and said tremblingly.

"King Zhao has been deeply poisoned, and the toxicity of the two poisons is very complicated. I am still researching their ingredients. Only after thorough research can we prescribe the right medicine."

The emperor asked: "How long will it take to research it at the earliest?"

The Imperial Physician Ling stammered: "This, this humble minister can't be sure."

The emperor immediately frowned, obviously extremely dissatisfied.

But after all, he has been the emperor for many years, and his mind is far calmer than ordinary people.

He knew that now was not the time to get angry, so he asked.

"At the beginning when I asked you to treat King Zhao's wounds, why didn't you find out that King Zhao was poisoned?"

The imperial physician knelt down and explained in a trembling voice.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty.

Wei Chen didn't expect that King Zhao was also poisoned, so he only checked his leg injury.

Moreover, King Zhao's pulse condition at that time was not much problem, so Weichen could not find out that he was poisoned.

It's the minister who has neglected his duty, the minister deserves to die! "

If it weren't for the fact that he was still useful, the emperor really wanted to kill him right now.

The emperor suppressed his anger and said: "Remember this crime for the time being. If you can cure King Zhao, you will be able to take the crime and make meritorious service. I can let you go, but if you fail to cure King Zhao, you will be punished for several crimes. You decide for yourself." Let's do it!"

The Imperial Physician kowtowed vigorously: "I will do my best to cure His Royal Highness King Zhao!"

The emperor walked to the bed and sat down, looked at the dying Li Ji, and asked in a deep voice.

"Why didn't you tell me about your poisoning?"

Li Ji said weakly: "The medicines that I usually drink are all prescribed by the Imperial Physician Order, and the Imperial Physician Order was sent by you to treat my injuries, if it is found that the medicine is poisonous, you will definitely be suspected. Anyway, this minister is about to die, so why bother to damage His Majesty's reputation? Why don't you leave it like this, as long as this minister dies, everything will be over."

At the end, he had a self-deprecating smile on his face.

The emperor was distressed and angry.

He sent an imperial physician order to heal King Zhao's injuries in order to make King Zhao recover quickly, but he did not expect that this would become a means for others to assassinate King Zhao.

If King Zhao really died of poison, he, the emperor, would be considered one of the accomplices.

The emperor had already made up his mind to investigate this matter to the bottom.

The person who plotted against him and King Zhao behind his back, no matter who he is, will have to pay for it!

The emperor said softly.

"My dear boy, you will be living in the palace during this time, so you can rest and recuperate. As long as I'm here, nothing will happen to you."

Li Ji: "How is Hua Ruren? I want to see her."

The emperor wanted to refuse, he was afraid that Hua Ruren would affect Li Ji's recuperation.

But when he saw King Zhao's weak appearance, the emperor couldn't bear to refuse.

In the end, the emperor could only sigh.

"Forget it, I'll have someone bring her here."

He originally wanted to watch Li Ji marry a wife and have children, and live a peaceful life, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen to Li Ji.

Now that Li Ji's life is on the verge of death, I don't know if he can get out of danger.

The emperor really couldn't bear to let him down.

Soon Hua Manman was brought in front of King Zhao.

When Hua Manman saw King Zhao's dying and weak appearance, he was stunned.

she asked in disbelief.

"You, are you really poisoned?"

Although she had heard about the poisoning of King Zhao from others, she had never seen it with her own eyes. She thought that King Zhao pretended to be poisoned deliberately to avoid forced marriage.

It wasn't until this moment, when she saw King Zhao lying ill in bed, that she realized that he was not pretending to be poisoned.

Li Ji smiled weakly.

"Of course it was really poisoned, otherwise the imperial medical order would have found out."

With such a large hospital, any means of pretending to be poisoned would not be able to fool him. Only real poisoning could convince the emperor.

At this moment, there are only the two of them in the room, so there is no need for Hua Manman to avoid it.

She knelt beside the bed and looked at King Zhao eagerly.

"When did you get poisoned? Why didn't you tell my concubine?"

Li Ji said indifferently: "It's not a big deal, there is nothing to say."

Hua Manman: "This is a matter of life and death, of course we have to say it!"

Li Ji: "For others, life and death are important matters, but for this king, there is not much difference between being alive and being dead."

Hua Manman's eye circles were slightly red.

"Don't say that."

Li Ji raised his hand with difficulty, wanting to touch her head.

But because he was too weak, after raising his hand tremblingly, it soon fell down weakly.

Hua Manman hurriedly held his hand, and took the initiative to bring her head closer so that he could touch her head.

Li Ji was amused by her series of actions.

He smiled and said, "You look like a puppy begging for food now."

Hua Manman retorted: "You are Li Ergou, and my concubine is the dog's wife."

Hearing this, Li Ji couldn't help laughing.

After laughing, he took a quick breath, and his face became even paler.

Hua Manman hurriedly reached out and stroked his chest to help him relax.

"Don't laugh, the imperial doctor told you to take a good rest, I won't talk to you anymore, you should go to rest."

Li Ji said: "What if the king can't sleep?"

Hua Manman is terrified.

"Don't say such unlucky words! Hurry up, bah, bah, bah!"

My monthly pass was actually exceeded by someone.

bang bang bang! Kowtow for a monthly ticket!
