Douluo: The First Empire

Silves Palace.

The six soul rings lingering around Sima Jin gradually dimmed, and were finally taken into Sima Jin's body, ending his daily treatment.

Although the unidentified assassin did not take the life of King Silvis, the assassin used a very special 'soul skill'.

Although King Silvis's injuries have recovered, there is no sign of waking up, and the fluctuations in his soul power are getting weaker and weaker. Only the chief physician's healing soul skills can barely maintain King Silvis' condition. worsen further.

After completing his daily treatment, Dr. Sima Jin did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he took out an exquisite small box from the storage soul guide with a complicated expression.

Queen Silvius, who was watching over the king at his bedside, noticed the unusual behavior of the chief physician.

"Doctor Sima, what is this?"

Sima Jin, who had already rehearsed the scene in his mind, did not panic. He opened the box unhurriedly and handed the 'Elixir' that exuded the fragrance of herbs to the queen.

"Reporting to the Queen, this is the 'antidote pill' given to me by the 'Po Zhi Clan' in the early years. However, because I was not sure of His Majesty the King's symptoms and worried about the side effects, I dared not use it. But now His Majesty the King has not improved at all. There are signs, so we can only give it a try.”

The queen did not doubt Sima Jin's almost impeccable words. She just pinched the 'elixir' cautiously, fanned her nostrils, and carefully sniffed the smell of the 'elixir'.

But Sima Jin was not worried at all. After his secondary processing, this poison pill had become a superficial 'antidote pill', at least it was absolutely indistinguishable from the smell.

Sure enough, Queen Silvis sniffed it gently and put the poison pill back into the small box, without realizing that it was an extremely poisonous pill.

"Well, let Dr. Sima feed His Majesty the King. We really can't worry about the side effects at this time."

After receiving the poison pill, Sima Jin became even more nervous. This was to assassinate the leader of a country. Even if the Silvis Kingdom was only the smallest of the four kingdoms, he was still a king.

"Come, Your Majesty, it's time to take medicine."

Sima Jin lifted King Silvis up and wrapped the poisonous elixir with his soul power, preventing the poisonous elixir from entering King Silvis's body and exploding immediately. After all, Sima Jin's goal was not only to feed King Silvis the medicine. To poison the pill, the more important thing is to save one's own life.

But not involved in politics, Sima Jin, who saw the royal family's heir for the first time, did not realize that when the eldest prince came to find him, his death was already doomed. Regardless of whether the poisoning was successful or not, Dr. Sima Jin would be executed. It’s just that the person giving the order will be different.

When the poison pill was about to be handed to King Silvis' mouth, King Silvis, who had been unconscious for three days and two nights, frowned, as if he had some terrible nightmare.

The highly nervous Sima Jin flicked his finger, and a poisonous elixir the size of a dragon's eye, which contained the eldest prince's deep 'filial piety', was stuffed into King Silvis's mouth.

Because of the difference in her position, Queen Silvis did not witness this scene with her own eyes. Sima Jin, who was successfully poisoned, was relieved. Although the unconscious King Silvis suddenly had a physical reaction, the poisonous pill had been fed, unless His Majesty the King can wake up now, otherwise there will be no chance of survival.

"Queen, I will take my leave now. It will take four hours for the antidote pill to take effect. After four hours, I will come back to check on His Majesty the King."

"Well, back off."

Queen Silvis nodded slightly.

Although Sima Jin's departure was a little hasty, Queen Silvis had no doubts and agreed to Sima Jin's departure out of years of trust, but she never thought that Sima Jin's departure at this time was purely for the purpose of running away.

Although Sima Jin does not understand politics, he is not a fool. Silvis Palace has undoubtedly become a huge whirlpool at this time. Sima Jin has no idea of ​​​​being in the turbulence. He avoids the limelight first and waits for Silvis. The overall situation of the Weiss royal family has been decided, and he is still the chief physician of the Silvis kingdom!

But the ideal is full, and the reality is very skinny. As soon as Sima Jin returned to his residence and was about to pack some necessary items, several guards who had been prepared grabbed the chief physician and punched Sima Jin hard in the stomach. On the way, the chief physician, whose combat effectiveness was almost zero, immediately rolled his eyes and fainted completely.

At the moment he was captured, Sima Jin regretted extremely. If the space for storing the soul guide could be larger, he would not have to come back to collect the items... If he was not an auxiliary healing soul master, he would not be unable to resist. ...but it was already too late.

…………

When Sima Jin woke up again, he felt only darkness and a burning pain in his throat. When he crawled forward gropingly and stood up on a table leg, a familiar voice came.

"Sima Jin, the chief physician of the Silvis Kingdom, poisoned King Silvis. When he was planning to escape from the Silvis Palace, he was captured by the palace guards. Are you familiar with this story?"

Sima Jin's eyes widened, trying to see clearly what kind of guy with a human face and a beast's heart was in front of him, but he could still only see an extreme darkness.

"Ah...ah...Abba..."

When the former chief physician was about to scold the eldest prince, he could only make a series of neighing sounds of unknown meaning.

"It seems that Dr. Sima is quite satisfied. He will take him down and keep the 'top assassin' who assassinated King Silvis under close guard."

The eldest prince Lu Yaoming waved his sleeves lightly, and two palace guards set up the chief physician and walked towards the prison under the eldest prince's residence.

Once some beasts are released from the cage, they can never return, and will only become more savage and swollen. The eldest prince has been suppressed by King Silvis for too long, and now that he is in power, he naturally has no scruples and is ruthless.

…………

The area east of Silvis Palace, Lu Yu's temporary residence.

The peacock secret guards who supervise the entire Silves Palace brought the first news to Lu Yu.

"Unexpectedly, it was the eldest prince who couldn't restrain himself first. At first, I thought it was the second prince. It turned out to be a biting dog that doesn't bark. King Silvis's most trusted son was the first to attack him. He must have woken up. King Silvius will be very angry."

Lu Yu wrote and drew on the portrait of the eldest prince Lu Yaoming. Although the final result was a bit unexpected, it was harmless. The situation was gradually advancing according to Lu Yu's plan.

As for the safety of King Silvis, Lu Yu is not very worried. King Silvis is still a Soul Saint after all. Even the Soul Emperor Tiandou Emperor who was poisoned by Wuhun Palace can only take his time. , where can the eldest prince get the poison that can kill the Soul Saint in a short time?

It was possible to poison the unconscious King Silvis, but what if he woke up?
