Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

After the two of them left, Sang Mo suggested, "Your Highness, why don't you take a rest first? Your eyes are bloodshot."

Li Junhao shook his head. They really didn't have much time left. If they couldn't find Gu Xunwei before King Yan arrived, then she might be in real danger.

Now, Wang Zhuo probably wouldn't attack her. After all, he captured Wei'er to use her to threaten him.

"Weier's matter can't be delayed any longer." After Li Junhao said this, he fell into deep self-blame.

Seeing him like this, Sang Mo didn't know how to comfort Li Junhao. He carefully hid Gu Xunwei and didn't tell anyone else because he was worried that she would be implicated in such an incident. Unexpectedly, such a thing still happened.

Suddenly, Xiao Fuzi ran in from outside. Running and jumping were not allowed in the palace, but once he left the palace, he didn't care about these things.

He ran to Li Junhao breathlessly, not even bothering to salute, and said hurriedly, "Your Highness, Your Highness, the emperor's condition...is not very good."

"What's wrong? What happened?" Li Junhao asked in surprise.

Xiao Fuzi remembered what Eunuch Chengping said, so she looked behind her and found that there was no one else. Then she whispered, "Eunuch Chengping told me that the emperor has fallen into a coma."

"What?" Li Junhao was surprised. Wasn't the emperor's illness fake?

But he didn't bother to ask more questions. He just tidied himself up and walked out the door.

Sang Mo was about to follow, but Li Junhao stopped and turned back to say to him, "Stay here and report to me anytime if there is any situation here."

Sang Mo nodded, but before he could reply, Li Junhao turned around and disappeared in front of him.

By the time Li Junhao rushed to the Qianqing Palace without stopping, Eunuch Chengping was already waiting anxiously at the door.

Both Concubine Shu and Concubine Hui were in the palace, and Crown Prince Li Junsheng was also allowed to enter the palace.

When they saw Li Junhao coming in, the three of them seemed to have seen a savior and all came to greet him.

Especially Concubine Shu, whose eyes were already red and swollen from crying, couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, what should we do?"

Li Junhao looked at Eunuch Chengping, "What happened to my father? Why did he suddenly become seriously ill?"

Until now, he was doubting in his heart whether his father did this on purpose to test the reactions of these people.

Seeing that there was no one else in the palace, Eunuch Chengping said directly, "I don't know the specific reason. The emperor has been feeling chest tightness and shortness of breath in recent days, and has been having nightmares frequently at night.

Doctor Li found something incredible in the emperor's dragon pillow, and even found materials that could destroy the body in the incense used in the emperor's study, alas..."

Eunuch Chengping heaved a sigh of relief, but his eyes were red after all. "It was my fault. I was too careless. I thought there would be no problem if I changed the prescription. I didn't expect the other party to be so cruel."

Concubine Hui usually had a hot temper. After hearing what Eunuch Chengping said today, she was even more furious.

"It's really a rebellion. Who on earth dared to do such a treasonous thing? Investigate. Let the Ministry of Internal Affairs investigate it thoroughly for me."

After hearing this, Li Junhao was also shocked. They were all careless.

"Call Imperial Physician Zhang over. It's time to question him." After Li Junhao finished speaking, he remembered that he was no longer the crown prince. He quickly said to Li Junsheng, "Your Highness, please come over for the interrogation."

When Li Junsheng heard what Li Junhao said, he nodded slightly and said, "Second brother is thinking about it. Let's go together."

So, soon, they came to the side hall, and Imperial Physician Zhang was brought over by Eunuch Chengping.

After what happened just now, Li Junhao didn't feel comfortable asking first, so he gestured to Li Junsheng and asked him to ask directly.

"Imperial Physician Zhang, how is father's condition?" Li Junsheng asked with great concern.

Imperial Physician Zhang did not know that they had discovered his prescription. Since he had always been responsible for the Emperor's health, it was reasonable to ask him now.

"Your Highness, Second Highness, the Emperor is suffering from poisoning. I need to investigate the poison before I can prescribe the right medicine. Your Highness, please be informed."

Imperial Physician Zhang answered cautiously.

He had already made up his mind to die, so as long as he delayed for a few more days, until the emperor passed away, his family would be safe.

"Oh, so Imperial Physician Zhang doesn't know what kind of poison Father was poisoned by?"

Li Junsheng raised his voice. Even though he was only in his teens and hadn't grown up yet, there was a hint of majesty in his words.

"Yes." Imperial Physician Zhang answered politely. He was trembling in his heart and didn't even dare to raise his head.

"Have your father, mother, wife and children returned to their ancestral hometown recently?" Li Junsheng asked slowly, his eyes fixed on Imperial Physician Zhang's face.

"Oh... yes, Your Highness, the ancestral hall needs to be relocated, so they went back together. If I hadn't been busy, I would have gone with them."

"Something? What's the matter? Are you going to add poison to father's prescription?" Li Junsheng asked bluntly.

"What..." Imperial Physician Zhang finally raised his head and looked at Li Junsheng with horror in his eyes.

"Your Highness, why do you say that? How could I do such a thing? Please, Your Highness, the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, please look into it carefully."

After he finished speaking, he trembled and touched his head to the ground, kowtowing to the two of them continuously.

If the charge of poisoning the emperor is proven, he will kill all nine generations of his clan.

Li Junsheng sat down slowly and asked Xie Ziming, the leader of the imperial guards beside him, to continue speaking for him.

Xie Ziming nodded, and then said in a muffled voice,

"I'm afraid Imperial Doctor Zhang doesn't know yet, but all your family members are now dead.

They mysteriously disappeared on their way back to their hometown, and we searched for them and found their remains all under a cliff. "

"No, it's impossible. How could it be possible? Didn't they say they would keep them safe..."

Imperial Physician Zhang raised his head in disbelief before Xie Ziming finished speaking.

His forehead was now bruised and purple from the kowtow he had just done, and there was even a big swelling on it.

However, what he said made several people look at him.

Imperial Physician Zhang continued to look at Xie Ziming and asked,

"Thank you, Chief. What you just said is not true, right? You are lying to me, right?"

Xie Ziming shook his head when he saw his current appearance.
