After a night of turmoil, the sky was already bright and the entire capital city was shrouded in a thick haze.

The lights in Chaoyang Hall were bright all night long.

The imperial doctors came in and out in turns, the beads of sweat on their foreheads reflecting their anxious expressions. Various precious medicinal materials were sent into the inner hall like water, but it seemed that it was still difficult to stop the emperor's condition from worsening.

Doctor Zhang was terrified. "The poison spreads too quickly. If we don't find an antidote soon, Your Majesty..."

As he spoke, tears streamed down his face, unable to suppress his sadness.

Doctor Shen raised his hand and gently lifted Emperor Mingde's eyelids, shaking his head, "This is the Cangyu Mojiu poison! Unless there are a large number of Mojius, maybe we can give it a try. And this is only a method recorded in ancient prescriptions, and I have never used it."

Eunuch Qi took one look at the unconscious Emperor Mingde and burst into tears.

He wiped his tears with his sleeves, and then asked eagerly, "Shen Yuanshi, even you have no way? I remember that the emperor specially asked you to study this before..."

"That's right, but even a good cook cannot cook without rice. If I can't find the black pigeon, I can't do anything." Doctor Shen wiped the sweat off his forehead and couldn't help cursing, "We should drag that woman out and kill her! Such a large piece of black pigeon turned into water! That can save lives!"

Everyone knew that he was talking about the black dove thrown into the lotus pond in the Zhongli Marquis Mansion, and they all sighed.

Doctor Shen frowned, "Besides, I suspect that the emperor was poisoned by more than just the blue fish and black pigeon poison... If it was just the blue fish and black pigeon poison, it would take at least three to five days for the symptoms to deteriorate to this level. But now... Well, I will continue to look through the classics to see if there is any other way."

With that, he ran away, leaving Eunuch Qi alone sighing, with tears in his eyes.

The imperial doctors gathered around the bed, all kinds of thoughts running through their minds.

Now the emperor is in a coma, this... the country cannot be without a ruler for a day, and I don’t know whether the emperor has left behind an imperial edict to pass on the throne.

If there is an imperial decree to pass on the throne, which prince will it be passed on to?

The imperial doctors who were able to enter the inner hall were all shrewd people, and each of them had his own little plans in mind.

Logically speaking, it is unlikely that the emperor would leave an imperial edict to pass on his throne when he is so young. However, considering the tense relationship between the emperor and the empress dowager, it is hard to say.

The divine will is hard to predict.

While everyone was having different thoughts, Eunuch Qi walked out of the inner hall and saw that the concubines, princesses and princes in the hall had already dispersed, and the ministers who had rushed there after hearing the news were also gone.

Only two Dongyu Guards were still confronting each other, refusing to give in.

There were also two groups of Royal Guards confronting each other.

That’s right, in the second half of the night, Lou Yuxiao’s uncle also came with a group of imperial guards and stood on Ma Chuyi’s side to protect the emperor, thus forming a strange balance.

Eunuch Qi looked around and asked Xiao Shuzi, "Where are Princess Haiyan and her husband?"

"They are resting in the side hall." Xiao Shuzi whispered, "Looking at the situation, Princess Haiyan and her husband can't leave the palace."

Eunuch Qi bent his fingers and tapped Xiao Shuzi on the head, "What are you thinking about all day, little bastard?"

Xiao Shuzi covered his head, blinked innocently, and muttered softly, "Eunuch, you often say that everything in the palace is unpredictable. I am just telling the truth. Look at the situation today. The Queen Mother clearly wants to put the princess and the prince consort in jail. How can she let them out of the palace easily?"

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Qi sighed, with deep worry flashing in his eyes, "It is better not to discuss the master's affairs, so as not to cause trouble. As servants, we just need to serve you wholeheartedly and do our best."

Xiao Shuzi nodded repeatedly, looking like he was being taught. "You are right, eunuch. I was just saying this in front of you. By the way, eunuch, I will go to the side hall to see if the princess and her husband need anything."

Eunuch Qi thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, go and take a look. If the princess and her husband are awake, ask them if they want some refreshments. Remember, be respectful and polite in your words, and don't be rude."

Xiao Shuzi responded, turned around and walked quickly towards the side hall.

Eunuch Qi stood there, looking at Xiao Shuzi's receding figure, quickly suppressed the waves in his eyes, and hurried back to the inner hall.

If you say he is worried, he is really worried.

But after staying with Emperor Mingde for such a long time, if he still doesn't understand his master's intentions at all, then his stay would have been in vain.

Besides, with Princess Haiyan and her husband as the two pillars of support, he could roughly guess that the three masters were fishing.

Just seeing the emperor poisoned, he felt very sad.

Eunuch Qi was sad, but he didn't hide it, because he felt that he was still important in his master's heart.

Since the master chose not to tell him in advance, he must have a sincere performance in order to confuse the Queen Mother and other treacherous ministers.

It's not easy to be the master, and it's not easy for him to be a servant either.

In the side hall, Shi Anxia and Cen Yuan were sitting opposite each other, talking in low voices, and seemed unaware of Xiao Shuzi's arrival.

Xiao Shuzi coughed lightly, then slowly walked into the hall and conveyed Eunuch Qi's instructions one by one.

Shi Anxia nodded, indicating that she understood.

Xiao Shuzi was just about to ask what kind of tea and breakfast he needed, but he didn't have the chance, so he had to quickly leave the hall.

Because at this time, an uninvited guest came to the side hall, and it was the King of Jin who had disappeared for a long time.

Without being informed, he strode in with big strides, as if the entire palace was his territory.

The Prince of Jin was seen wearing a luxurious brocade robe embroidered with intricate auspicious cloud patterns and emitting a faint silver glow.

He stared at Shi Anxia intently, as if he could no longer see anyone else.

In fact, this was the first time he met Shi Anxia.

I have never seen it before. Or rather, I have never seen its true appearance before.

The woman sat there calmly and quietly, without standing up to greet him, and her face showed no emotion. She even only looked up at him at first, and then lost interest.

The girl was dressed in simple and elegant clothes, her skin was as white as porcelain, her eyebrows and eyes were as pretty as paintings, and she was still radiant and beautiful even without any makeup.

At this moment, Prince Jin suddenly felt that as long as he had this girl, he could lie down, drink tea, listen to music and not have to worry about anything.

Phoenix girl!

This is the real Phoenix Girl!

Standing just two steps away from her, one can feel the warmth and comfort of being bathed in the light of the Phoenix Girl.

King Jin Xiao Sheng suddenly became angry.

Since you were his queen in the previous life, why didn’t you come to find him earlier in this life?

Did she know how destitute he was?

Did she know how many hardships and dangers he went through on his way back to Beijing despite the danger of being beheaded?

He caught a cold on the road and almost died!

When Jin Wang Xiao Sheng thought of this, his eyes turned red and he gnashed his teeth in anger, "You are Shi Anxia?"

Shi Anxia had a distant expression and spoke in a cold and calm voice, "That's right. Haiyan has met my brother."

Royal brother!

Xiao Sheng didn't know where he felt so wronged, and asked with red eyes, "Just my brother?"
