Lord Cheng'en had just recovered from a stomachache and when he looked at the time, it was no different from the previous two days.

Suddenly the flesh on his face began to tremble.

"Doctor, please take another look. Is this master poisoned?"

The imperial doctors had thought of poisoning, but the key was that they couldn't find out what kind of poison it was. The poisons they knew of didn't have such regular onset and such precise timing.

It was like there was an hourglass installed in Lord Cheng'en's body.

Lan Lin, the imperial physician who specializes in detoxification at the Imperial Hospital, examined Lord Cheng En and said, "Sir, you were probably poisoned by Qianji Liugou, mixed with other toxins, so you have regular attacks of poison, but it is not fatal."

Duke Cheng'en was extremely angry, his face gloomy, and the first thing he thought of was that His Majesty had poisoned him.

But I can't figure out how His Majesty poisoned me.

Lan Lin added, "This kind of poison is rare in the world. I have only seen it in some unofficial history books about poison techniques, but I have never actually encountered it."

Duke Cheng'en felt that it was unlike His Majesty to poison him, as His Majesty would not only cause him stomach pain but would also kill him.

So, who poisoned this person?

But now is not the time to think about these things, because he entered the palace to discuss the funeral of the Queen Mother.

He must open the coffin.

The Queen Mother's funeral would be held in three days. If he didn't bring it up quickly, the Queen Mother's body might really have to be replaced.

Shi Jiepu said that if the empress dowager's body was replaced, the "phoenix fate" of their Wei family would be truly over.

He quickly called Zhu Tou and asked him to change his underwear which was painful and sweaty. As soon as he put on his official uniform, Hua Zisheng called everyone to the court to discuss matters.

As for diarrhea, he was not afraid. In order to ensure that he would not have diarrhea when he went to court today, he stopped eating and drinking since he received the notice last night. When he got up in the morning, he endured hunger and thirst and did not eat or drink.

Even if I have diarrhea, there is nothing to excrete.

He took a deep breath and went to court.

The director of the Imperial Observatory and Shi Jiepu were already standing in the court.

Shi Jiepu's face was pale.

Yesterday, Duke Cheng'en suddenly had diarrhea in the hall. He was extremely grateful. Duke Cheng'en behaved improperly in front of the hall and was expelled from the palace. He would definitely not be forced to lie again.

The Supervisor also saw that something was wrong and reminded him meaningfully: "You should be loyal to your master. Don't disregard your life and family because of greed."

Shi Jie Pu thought that the matter was over forever, but who knew that in the middle of the night, Cheng En Gong came to invite him again.

He said that His Majesty sympathized with his advanced age and did not mind his impoliteness in the palace, and allowed him to attend the court again the next day to discuss the funeral.

Shi Jie Pu was filled with hatred. He hated Duke Cheng'en for pushing him step by step, and hated His Majesty for being incompetent. If he could forgive such a thing, what was the point of being an emperor? He might as well just hand over the jade seal to Duke Cheng'en.

So, today he was ready to die, and said that it was God's will and he needed to be reburied.

Duke Cheng'en greeted all the officials and stood in his original position with a sad face.

Gu Shaoyu heard from Xie Zhaozhao that today, Duke Cheng'en would suffer from the poison again. He had already suffered from abdominal pain before entering the palace. If nothing unexpected happened, the floodgates would be opened again soon.

So he remained vigilant, making sure not to be splashed with filth by this unlucky man.

There is nothing unusual in Lord Cheng'en's stomach now.

Emperor Hui and his ministers were discussing other state affairs as usual. His eyes glanced at the clepsydra in the corner, and when he saw that it was almost time for Duke Cheng'en to explode, he cleared his throat.

"The Queen Mother's burial will be in three days. Lord Cheng'en seemed to have something to say yesterday, but he didn't have time to finish it?"

Emperor Hui said calmly, "Tell me what else you want me to do? As long as it's not too outrageous, I'll agree to it."

Duke Cheng En immediately said, "The funeral of the Empress Dowager was conducted in accordance with the rituals. I have nothing to say, but the Imperial Astronomical Observatory observed the celestial phenomena at night and found that they were unusual. This is related to the fate of the country, so we must take precautions."

"Qin Tianjian, please report the truth."

Shi Jiepu was about to speak when the supervisor solemnly reminded him, "Master Shi, you must seek truth from facts. This is the court, in front of the emperor, and the matter is of great importance. You must not speak nonsense."

Shi Jiepu said with a fearless attitude: "Your Majesty, I observed the sky at night. The sky is fading, and a new star next to it is gradually shining brightly, and it is likely to replace the light..."

Emperor Hui leaned back in his chair, listening to him quietly, with no expression on his face.

Shi Jiepu talked about the celestial phenomena for a long time, and Emperor Hui interrupted him calmly: "What do you want to say? Isn't it normal for the celestial palace to be weak? The Queen Mother has passed away! It's normal for the new star to be bright. The Queen can finally make the decision!"

Shi Jiepu and Jian Zheng both knew that His Majesty was making far-fetched claims.

His Majesty guessed what they wanted to say and he was trying to stop them.

The director looked at Shi Jiepu again and said sternly, "The Imperial Observatory has its own rules and regulations. Master Shi must be cautious."

Shi Jiepu had already promised Cheng Engong that he had to tell him about opening the coffin. Unexpectedly, he just said, "The Queen Mother's coffin is in the way..."

Then I heard "bang~"

The familiar voice was heard again, and Gu Shaoyu and Xie Anfeng, who were closest to Duke Cheng'en, quickly moved away.

Elder Liu is old, and he didn't expect that Lord Cheng'en would have diarrhea today. When the voice sounded again, his face was full of disbelief.

"Lord Cheng'en, you are not incontinent again, are you?" Elder Liu was a little surprised. "How could you be incontinent in front of the palace three times? This is outrageous!"

In anger, he threw his sleeves and walked away.

Emperor Hui's face darkened visibly, and he said coldly, "Draft an edict: Duke Cheng'en has been disrespectful in front of the palace again and again, which is intolerable to heaven. From today on, he will be relieved of all his duties, stripped of his title, stripped of his privileges, and expelled from the palace. During the funeral of the empress dowager, no member of the Wei clan is allowed to approach."

Not to mention opening the coffin for an autopsy, they were not even allowed to attend the empress dowager's funeral.

Lord Cheng'en's mind went blank.

He didn't understand why he still had a stomach full of shit and urine even though he was fasting?

Why was it that even though he was holding the two doors tightly, shit and urine were still able to come out?

Being disrespectful in front of the palace is extremely disrespectful, but he really didn't mean it. He lost face in front of all the officials and it was also very embarrassing, okay?

angry!

He wanted to cut the person who poisoned him into pieces and bury all nine clans of the person alive.

Several imperial guards came in and dragged him out. Duke Cheng'en's party did not even give him a chance to beg for mercy because the hall was too ugly. Emperor Hui had already left the court in anger.

All the officials in the palace also returned to the Purple Pavilion.

The crown prince was also here today, his face full of disbelief. Last night and this morning, the imperial physician had checked again and again and found nothing abnormal. How could he have misbehaved in front of the palace again?

My father’s punishment is too severe.

Duke Cheng'en had everything taken away from him, and an order was issued in court without even any consultation.

This is my grandfather, my right-hand man, my biggest support, how can I just let him go? !

The prince winked at his men, and someone immediately went to the palace to report to the queen.

Emperor Hui moved to the imperial study, and all the ministers and the crown prince followed him to the study to discuss matters.

His Majesty was still furious, and the imperial edict was quickly drafted. The prince knelt down and pleaded again and again: "Father, the Royal Grandmother's body is still warm. I hope Father will wait until the Royal Grandmother is buried before dealing with Lord Cheng'en."

Emperor Hui paused and said, "State affairs are of paramount importance. If the Queen Mother were alive, she would definitely put the overall situation first."

If the empress dowager was not surnamed Wei, Emperor Hui would still be afraid that Duke Cheng'en and his gang would take the opportunity to cause trouble, but the empress dowager was the great-aunt of the Wei family. If she disrupted the funeral of the empress dowager Wei, Emperor Hui did not care, because she was not his biological mother anyway.

He then calmly held the imperial seal and stamped the imperial edict. Leng Lu and Hua Zisheng led a team of imperial guards to go to the Cheng'en Mansion to announce the edict.

At noon, the plaque that had been hanging in the Cheng'en Mansion for thirty-three years was taken down!
