Duke Huiguo would not really die in such a ridiculous way, right? This thought flashed through Su Dequan's mind, but he subconsciously rushed to the side of Duke Huiguo.

He tried to help Duke Huiguo with trembling hands, but his eyes were pierced by the bright red blood that kept flowing out of the wound on Duke Huiguo's neck.

"Go and get the imperial physician quickly." Su Dequan was in a panic, but he hugged Duke Huiguo with both hands, and then reached out to cover his wound to prevent the blood from flowing out.

Liu Yaoyao quickly slapped his hand away and shouted, "He's injured in the neck, you can't cover it with your hands, otherwise the blood will clog and he will suffocate easily."

As she spoke, she reached into her body for medicine, only to find that most of it was poison. A trace of embarrassment appeared on Liu Yaoyao's face: "I don't have any golden wound medicine here."

"Can you seal this wound with acupuncture?" Su Dequan showed disappointment after hearing this, and soon asked about acupuncture.

Liu Yaoyao shook her head: "I'm not a medical student, how can I know acupuncture?"

Su Dequan's face turned even uglier when he heard this: "Then what should we do? The Duke is quite old. If he bleeds too much, he will die."

"I'll go find Wan Shufang." Liu Yaoyao still wanted to find out why Duke Huiguo was imprisoned here by Chen Changli. When she heard Su Dequan's worried words, she volunteered to find Wan Shufang.

Su Dequan did not place his hopes on her. He immediately sent another person to look for Wan Shufang, and then sent someone else to inform the emperor of the matter.

When the emperor received the news and rushed over with a look of shock and surprise, Wan Shufang and Chen Changli had already arrived and started to treat Duke Huiguo's wounds.

"How is Duke Huiguo doing?" The emperor's eyes were filled with anger.

He did suspect Duke Huiguo, but Duke Huiguo was his cousin and they had a special relationship. No matter how much he suspected him, he was willing to give him a chance and would not execute him.

"Su Dequan, what on earth is going on? Why is Duke Huiguo so badly injured?"

The emperor's heart was filled with rage, and was about to erupt like a volcano.

"Your Majesty, the Duke was seriously injured because of Lin Sheng."

Hearing the anger in the emperor's words, Su Dequan was worried that he would be implicated, so he immediately exaggerated the incident of Lin Sheng pushing Duke Huiguo to take the blame.

"He took the Duke hostage in order to protect himself, and then pushed him onto the knife."

"The Duke is old and has slow reactions. He didn't have time to steady himself. Your Majesty, Lin Sheng is completely guilty. We must send someone to capture him as soon as possible. Otherwise, if he escapes, he will definitely become a problem in the future."

Listening to Su Dequan's mournful voice, the emperor's eyes almost spit fire: "Lin Sheng, he actually betrayed me."

Su Dequan immediately agreed: "Lin Sheng tried to defend himself in front of me before, but it was Duke Hui who exposed his true colors, so he got angry and hurt Duke Hui."

"Come here, blockade the entire Luoyang city and capture Lin Sheng as soon as possible." The emperor became more and more annoyed as he listened. He immediately ordered people to blockade Luoyang city, and then paid attention to the injury of Duke Huiguo.

Seeing that Wan Shufang didn't look well, and it was obvious that she was at a loss as to what to do about Duke Huiguo's injuries, the emperor's face darkened slightly.

"Wan Shufang, do your best to treat Duke Huiguo." After saying this, the emperor looked ten years older.

"Father, what happened to Duke Huiguo? Why are so many people rushing here?" At this time, the Eighth Prince rushed in with his men.

The first thing he did was to search for the emperor in the crowd. When he saw him, his eyes darkened, and then he came to the emperor with a respectful look and asked.

"Not very good." Seeing the eighth prince walking towards him, a look of scrutiny flashed across the emperor's eyes. It seemed as if nothing had ever appeared in those turbid eyes, but his cold expression could not be ignored.

The Eighth Prince felt his back wet with cold sweat in an instant, and he was about to faint.

But in front of the emperor, he did not dare to show his exhaustion. He could only tense his expression and stare at the emperor as usual, respectful and dependent, without any ruthlessness to replace him.

"Why didn't you come to see me yesterday?" The emperor woke up yesterday and went to see the thief. Since the eighth prince was interested, why didn't he go to see him?

The Eighth Prince said calmly, "I received news that there was not enough food, so I went to check it out. This check delayed me."

After explaining, the Eighth Prince respectfully added: "As soon as I received the news, I rushed back to the cold palace to pay my respects to my father, but I didn't expect to hear that something had happened to Duke Huiguo."

"Thank you for your hard work during this period." The emperor said with concern after hearing this.

The Eighth Prince was flattered: "This is what I should do. It is not hard at all."

Upon hearing this, the emperor looked at the Eighth Prince meaningfully and said calmly, "Old Eighth Prince, you have changed. I like your change very much."

The Eighth Prince felt that the Emperor was criticizing him. He clenched his fist unconsciously, but still had a smile on his face. "It is an honor for your father to like me."

He lowered his posture very low, and the emperor's expression slightly moved. Just as he was about to continue testing, Wan Shufang's exclamation made his eyelids twitch slightly, "What's wrong?"

As the emperor asked, he walked closer to Wan Shufang and stared down at Duke Huiguo.

His face was abnormally pale and his breathing was very weak.

Then the next moment, this weak breath stopped, and Duke Huiguo lost his life.

The emperor's eyes suddenly turned red, and his body became a little unsteady.

"Duke Huiguo...is he okay?"

The emperor asked this question cautiously, staring at Wan Shufang with red eyes, hoping that she could give him good news.

Wan Shufang's face turned pale. "Lin Sheng pushed Duke Huiguo too hard, so the blood vessels in Duke Huiguo's neck were completely severed. I discovered this before and tried my best to treat his wound. I also used a special wound medicine."

As she said this with a trembling voice, tears sparkled in Wan Shufang's eyes, and her tone gradually became filled with regret and pain.

"But I didn't expect that Duke Huiguo had a poisonous insect in his body. The medicinal properties of the golden wound medicine conflicted with it, so the poisonous insect was stimulated and escaped from inside. Then the remaining toxins exploded and actually... took Duke Huiguo's life in an instant."

Duke Huiguo was seriously injured. Wan Shufang noticed this as soon as she arrived. She immediately used acupuncture to stop the bleeding, and then used the medical equipment in the hospital space to check the internal wounds.

When she discovered that a blood vessel was broken, she immediately used medicine to heal the wound, and then used a silver needle to sew up the broken blood vessel, but she didn't expect that a poisonous insect would crawl out of the wound.

She was frightened and subconsciously used a needle to kill the insect. However, during this time, Duke Huiguo was poisoned to death by the toxin contained in the insect. This was the first time someone died at her hands.

Wan Shufang could not bear this fact, and tears fell like spring water. "Your Majesty, it was my miscalculation that caused the death of Duke Huiguo. If you are angry, I hope you can only punish me and not implicate my husband."

When Chen Changli heard this, he immediately regained his composure and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, this has nothing to do with Shufang. It's the poisonous insect."

"Why is there a Gu worm in Duke Huiguo's body? Was he poisoned by Lin Sheng before he was pushed?"
