Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

"What? Is the Third Prince's Mansion planning a rebellion?" Li Junhao's cold voice sounded, "Do you know who we are going to arrest?"

Wen Jiaxiang's heart was about to explode. On the one hand, he was under tremendous pressure from Li Junhao, and on the other hand, he was worried about how he would report to Li Junze after he returned home.

So, even though he felt that he was definitely no match for the other party, he still symbolically expressed his resistance.

After all, no matter what happened, this was the first time in all these years that the prince's palace was surrounded like this.

"No, I don't know, but no one else has come into the mansion today, so please check it out, Your Highness."

Wen Jiaxiang tried to argue a few more times, his legs trembling under his robe, but Cao Xingwen behind him helplessly grabbed his sleeve.

Wen Jiaxiang turned around and saw Cao Xingwen's expression and immediately understood what he meant. He raised his hand and asked all the guards behind him to make way, allowing Li Junhao to lead his men into the Third Prince's Mansion.

A large number of guards and soldiers poured into the mansion. Wen Jiaxiang and Cao Xingwen stood by trembling with fear, not daring to make any rash moves.

No place inside or outside the mansion was spared, and almost everything was searched. Finally, their secret room and dungeon were discovered in the mansion. Using this as an excuse, all the people in charge of the mansion, including but not limited to Wen Jiaxiang and Cao Xingwen, were brought back to the prison in the government office.

Li Junze was in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace at this time, nervously waiting for the emperor's summons.

However, the emperor was not in the hall outside, but in the bedroom at the back.

He naturally knew in his heart what his father's physical condition was like, because Wang Zhuo had used medicines that ordinary doctors could not cure.

At this time, Eunuch Chengping walked out of the bedroom, followed by two palace maids, each holding a tray in their hands.

"Ah, Third Prince, it is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. I will not say much. The emperor is in urgent need of the blood of his loved ones as a medicine guide. It happens that you are here, so I don't have to run anywhere else."

Eunuch Chengping had a relaxed look on his face and motioned to the two palace maids behind him to hand over the tray.

Li Junze was horrified. He was not mentally prepared for such a thing. Moreover, he was not the emperor's biological son. Would his blood really be useful?

"Eunuch Chengping, what is father doing...?"

It was impossible for Li Junze to say anything against it, let alone disagree. He could only nervously ask what was going on.

Eunuch Chengping shook his head and said in a low voice very cautiously,

"Your Highness, the Third Prince, you may not know that the Emperor's health has been relapsing recently, and the doctors in the palace are all helpless. So they found a wizard from Southern Xinjiang, and he proposed this method. Previously, he took the blood of the Eleventh Prince, and it seems to have some effect."

Li Junze nodded. If this method was really useful, his blood could disrupt their treatment process. They would surely think that the prescription was ineffective and would not think that there was something wrong with their blood.

So he rolled up his sleeves without hesitation, exposing his wrists, picked up the dagger on the tray without hesitation, and cut his wrist hard.

The blood flowed down the wrist into the small bowl prepared in advance. When Eunuch Chengping saw that it was almost done, he hurried forward and asked them to pack up their things and quickly go into the bedroom.

He personally helped Li Junze stop the bleeding and applied medicine, and also carefully wrapped it with a bandage.

"Please wait for a moment, Your Highness. The Emperor has suddenly fallen ill and we don't know how serious his condition is. If he wakes up soon, I will come and summon Your Highness."

Eunuch Chengping's words were very respectful. Li Junze didn't think much about it. He nodded to him and gently stroked the gauze on his wrist with his hand. "Thank you, Eunuch Chengping."

After saying this, Eunuch Chengping flicked the whisk in his hand, turned around and walked into the back hall.

Then there was silence, a long silence. When Li Junze was sitting on the chair and almost thought that no one would come to see him, finally Eunuch Chengping came out.

He looked tired and said to Li Junze apologetically, "Your Highness, you should go back to the palace first. I will summon you when the emperor's condition stabilizes."

Li Junze looked up at the entrance to the back hall, his face full of worry.

"Eunuch Chengping, is my father really alright? If you need my care, please let me know immediately."

"Okay, Third Prince, I will take care of it. You may go back." Eunuch Chengping nodded gently, seeming to approve of the concern expressed by Li Junze.

After Li Junze really left, Eunuch Chengping stared at his back and gradually stopped smiling.

"Oh..." He sighed deeply, and finally didn't say anything else. He shook his head and went into the back hall.

The emperor's condition was very bad. He looked at the two clearly separated drops of blood in the bowl, and felt as if a huge rock was blocking his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Suddenly, he knocked the tray in front of him to the ground with force, "Well, Wang Zhuo, you really have evil intentions, ahem..."

Over the years, he has always known that Wang Zhuo is a smart man and good at forbearing, but he never expected that he would be so bold as to try to confuse the bloodline of the prince with his own bloodline.

If Li Junze really became the crown prince, the century-old foundation of the Great Chu Kingdom would really be destroyed in his own hands, and from then on the Great Chu Kingdom would become the world of their Wang family.

"Damn it, damn it..." The emperor's face turned red, and his sudden anger made him gasp violently. Then he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please take care of yourself..." Eunuch Chengping hurried forward to help the emperor calm down. Doctor Li was so frightened that his legs went limp and he fell to his knees.

"Quick, quick, send... send..." Eunuch Chengping thought for a while, but didn't know which doctor to send over, so he said to Doctor Li.

"Doctor Li, come on, help the emperor first, ouch..."

He really started to panic. Hadn't he already discovered what they had done and privately stopped the prescriptions they had given him? So why was the Emperor still having health problems recently?

Doctor Li crawled over in horror, and together with several palace servants, he placed the emperor on his dragon couch. Only then did he carefully take the emperor's pulse.

In fact, when he saw the emperor vomiting blood just now, he already had a rough guess in his mind, and now taking his pulse was just confirming his guess step by step.

After about a cup of tea, he finally took his hand off the emperor's wrist, bowed and said to the emperor,

"Your Majesty, you are poisoned."
