Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

What is it? Gu Yue immediately put down the table and reached in to feel around.

After feeling along the wood inside the table for a while, his fingertips touched a gap, as if there was a movable wooden board inside.

This seemed to be a secret compartment locked by an ingenious mechanism. But only half of the table was left, and the mechanism had certainly been completely destroyed. Therefore, Gu Yue only exerted a little force, and the wooden board was pushed open, and the things inside fell out with a click and landed on the ground.

A thick booklet.

Gu Yue used his body to block Shen Wumou's sight, and Shi San had already stood in the corresponding position to cover him.

The booklet was burnt yellow by the high temperature, but it was not destroyed.

Gu Yue quickly flipped through the pages, but was greatly disappointed. This was a diary, but unfortunately, it was a brand new diary. The owner of the diary, Su Huaiyue, only had time to write the first note and never touched it again. The thin felt sheet used to prevent ink stains was still inside.

The first note reads:

On the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, the letter to the Su family has been sent back by Fu Dao, and this disaster may be averted.

But I am not completely sure. Will my brother and father help me? Family affection is not fake. This is a serious matter. Maybe I am worth the risk.

Success or failure depends on this one move... Gu Shen suggested that I keep a backup plan, at least to ensure Xiao Xu's survival, and I did so.

Hope it won't be used.

There was no more writing after that. Gu Yue turned the pages and shook the spine of the book, and there was indeed no writing.

Putting the notebook in his arms and looking over the table again, Gu Yue was sure that there was nothing else here.

Those few lines contain a lot of information.

Gu Yue put away the doubts in his mind and stood up straight again.

Shen Wumou came over and asked, "Did you find anything?"

Gu Yue glanced at him.

There seemed to be a hint of smile on Shen Wumou's lips.

Gu Yue said: "I have some guesses. I need to see what you Hidden Dragon Guards have found in Prince Shen's Mansion over the years. In addition, I want to know what investigations you have conducted and what the results are."

Shen Wumou still smiled: "These are all secrets of the Hidden Dragon Guard."

"The emperor ordered me to investigate this matter, so you should share the information with me. Otherwise, how will you explain yourself if I fail to do your job?" Gu Yue stood on the ruins, looking down from above. "Or is it that your majesty's intention is not this?"

Shen Wumou's face froze for a moment, then he nodded: "Okay. When do we leave? Have you finished your inspection of Prince Shen's Mansion?"

Gu Yue said: "Let's go now."

……

The capital city of Luoyang.

Nearly half a month had passed since the scandal involving Lord Dunxin, but discussions in the capital were still raging, with no sign of stopping.

The wind direction has completely changed in a few days.

Zhen Suhang was very good at guiding public opinion. He first released news that something was fishy, ​​then slowly broke the news in batches, keeping the heat of the entire incident online, ensuring that new news "broke out" every three days. Some rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs had gathered in front of the Dunxinbo Mansion, but no one was cleaning it up.

Inside the palace.

The people were very excited, and the emperor certainly knew about it. In his hand was a secret memorial about the rumors in the capital.

"Gu Xu's reaction is really quick." The emperor laughed softly, "He changed the situation so quickly and portrayed himself as a victim... Awesome, really awesome. Who is spreading these theories?"

The chief supervisor of the Hidden Dragon Guard standing below said, "Your Majesty, the other party's whereabouts are mysterious and we have not been able to find out."

"Oh?" The emperor coughed twice. "He actually has such a method. I underestimated him."

The chief supervisor of the Hidden Dragon Guard said: "Rumors spread slowly. I think the other party is short of manpower."

"The Su family gave their power to him?" the emperor said to himself.

He wanted to stand up and stretch his body, but just as he stood up by holding the handle of the chair, his eyes began to spin.

The last thing he was aware of before closing his eyes was the terrified cry of the Chief Supervisor of the Hidden Dragon Guard: "Your Majesty?! Your Majesty!! Call the Imperial Physician, call the Imperial Physician!!"

……

Wuye slowly pulled out the silver needle from the emperor's heart. Behind him, three elders from the Imperial Medical Bureau were looking at the emperor on the bed.

"Your Majesty, there is no sign of poison on your body." Wuye frowned deeply.

It was true that he had received Gu Xu's message, but the message only told him to be prepared and to act in advance. How could the emperor collapse before he could even draw the poison?

After a brief examination, it turned out that the emperor had no signs of rejection of the poison.

The three veteran doctors had already examined the emperor's body but could not find anything. Finally, they thought of asking Wu Ye to come forward and check for the possibility of poisoning.

Of course the emperor had a Gu in his body, and Wuye had kept it there for a long time without any trace, but he was the only one in the entire Imperial Medical Bureau who could detect the Gu, so lying was easy for him.

"Your Majesty has just fallen asleep temporarily, and there is nothing abnormal about his pulse. Perhaps it is just because of fatigue." said an imperial physician.

The short imperial physician in the middle looked at Wuye suspiciously for a long time and said, "In this situation, my lord should stay away."

Wu Ye frowned, stood up and looked at him.

The man said, "You are the only one in the whole palace who can use Gu magic, and you are also the only one who can identify Gu magic. It is very easy for you to do anything. Who knows, this time..."

Wuye looked at him coldly: "Oh? Then what good does this do for me?"

The short imperial physician was waiting for him to say this: "It's a great benefit! You were recommended by the crown prince. If His Majesty has anything to ask, the crown prince will see him and then ascend the throne. You will be indispensable..."

Before he finished speaking, a voice came from outside the door: "Well said!"

Qin Zhaoyue walked in from outside.

Doctor Meng was so frightened that he fell to his knees. Everyone knelt down and shouted, "Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Qin Zhaoyue's eyes locked onto Doctor Meng: "Well said. My father was only temporarily unconscious, but someone has already committed treason and made wild assumptions, saying that I killed my father and seized the throne. Doctor Meng, you understand the situation in the palace very well."

Doctor Meng was so frightened that he could not speak: "Your Majesty, Your ...

"You are worried about my father, so you want to spread rumors and put such a big basin of dirty water on my head." Qin Zhaoyue smiled and said, "Very good, come here, drag this barking thing out."

Immediately, the imperial guards entered the hall and dragged out Doctor Meng, who was crying and begging for mercy.

Wuye's face looked very gloomy.

Qin Zhaoyue glanced at him coldly, and Wuye keenly sensed his distrust.

Sure enough, Qin Zhaoyue said, "My Imperial Physician, in order to avoid suspicion, please step aside for the time being."

Wuye bowed and saluted: "Yes."

He said nothing, turned and walked out of the emperor's bedroom.

The remaining two senior doctors were sweating profusely.

"What's the emperor's condition now?" Qin Zhaoyue walked to the emperor's bed.

"After the three of us took his pulse just now, we found no signs of poisoning or trauma." The leading imperial physician wiped his sweat, "Just now my lord said that your majesty was not poisoned. He also taught us how to judge the poison technique, and we also think so."
