After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

Meng Qianqian, Lu Yuan, Zong Zhengxi, and his personal eunuch Xiao Dezi went to the emperor's bedroom, Zhuanghe Hall, together.

Zhuanghe Hall is just a quiet little hall, and it was the request of the retired emperor himself to live here.

After worshipping Buddha in the temple for several years, he gradually became accustomed to the quietness.

As soon as they entered the hall, Meng Qianqian and Lu Yuan felt an extremely tense atmosphere.

The eunuchs and palace maids all knelt in the corridor with their brows lowered, not daring to utter a sound. Occasionally, someone from the Imperial Hospital passed by in a hurry, but they all had solemn expressions.

"Your Majesty..."

The palace guard who was on guard discovered Zong Zhengxi and was about to salute him.

Zong Zhengxi raised his hand, and the palace servants cautiously stepped aside.

Zong Zhengxi was only away for two hours. When he returned to his father's bedroom, he found that there were many more people around his father's bed.

"Sister Royal."

Zong Zhengxi called Princess Wanping.

Princess Wanping heard nothing. She knelt in front of the bed, lying beside the retired emperor and crying uncontrollably.

Behind her, kneeling, were the rest of her siblings.

But how much of it is truly heart-wrenching and how much is just acting to bring out the tears is unknown.

Meng Qianqian and Lu Yuan exchanged glances.

Although Lu Yuan was reluctant to see Princess Wanping, he had to admit that she was truly filial to the retired emperor. If the retired emperor was really poisoned, he could eliminate her first.

Meng Qianqian then glanced at the other princes. She didn't know them and couldn't see anything for the time being.

"His Majesty."

The Third Prince was the first to notice Zong Zhengxi and stood up and bowed to him.

The others also stood up.

Zong Zhengxi said, "My royal brothers, there is no need to be so polite."

The imperial doctors also hurriedly saluted him.

Then, everyone saw Lu Yuan and Meng Qianqian behind him.

Not all of them may know Meng Qianqian, but everyone knows Lu Yuan.

Everyone was shocked.

Zong Zhengxi took in everyone's reactions, calmed himself down, and said, "Madam Lu is proficient in the art of medicine. I went to the Governor's Mansion to invite her to treat my father."

"absurd!"

The Second Prince walked forward with an angry look in his eyes. He was older than Concubine Li and was a very imposing prince.

He pointed at Meng Qianqian and said, "I have never heard that she knows any medical skills. Even if she does, given her current status, it is hard to say whether she can cure my father or harm him!"

The Third Prince also chimed in, "Yes, Your Majesty, have you forgotten who sent your father to the palace to 'recuperate' these past few years?"

Except for Zong Zhengxi, everyone else really believed that the emperor had been under house arrest in the palace in recent years.

The Second Prince said: "Lu Yuan is not at ease!"

Zong Zhengxi said weakly, "Father... Father has been doing fine in the 'temporary palace' these past few years."

But he fell ill as soon as he returned to the palace.

He didn't take good care of his father, he is so useless!

The Second Prince said angrily, "Have you forgotten how the former Crown Prince died? Wasn't it because he hired a quack doctor to cure him to death?"

The Fifth Prince said sarcastically, "Second Brother, Third Brother, stop talking. If the Crown Prince hadn't died, would he have been the Emperor? How could he blame Lu Yuan?"

Lu Yuan said calmly: "Your Majesty, I haven't been to court for only a month, and your brothers dare to talk to you like this?"

Zong Zhengxi's face turned pale.

That’s right, when Lu Yuan was regent, none of his brothers dared to mock or speak rudely to him.

It was as if only Lu Yuan could teach him a lesson, and no one else could.

The Third Prince said in a cold voice: "Lu Yuan, you have no right to speak here! The crimes you have committed are too numerous to list. It is only because my father and the Prime Minister are tolerant and consider your contribution in subduing Beiliang that they spared your life!"

"Prime Minister." Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows.

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

The young eunuch reported: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister wants to see you, and he brought a miracle doctor with him."

The moment Meng Qianqian saw the miracle doctor beside Prime Minister Xun, her expression froze.

Madam Yan?

Is it her?

Meng Qianqian did not doubt Madam Yan's reputation as a miracle doctor. After all, when she was punished in Changchun Palace, she suffered a cold attack and her life was hanging by a thread. It was Madam Yan who saved her.

What surprised her was why Madam Yan was with Prime Minister Xun?

She looked at Lu Yuan again and saw that he was not surprised at all, and she understood instantly.

Madam Yan is from Prime Minister Xun's family.

No wonder Wanhua Tower has such an outstanding status in the capital.

The murderer who killed her family was related to Wanhua Tower. Does this mean that Prime Minister Xun was also related to her family's case?

Anyone who can conclude a case despite so many loopholes must be extremely powerful.

To be honest, the first person she suspected was Lu Yuan. Approaching him and using him was actually also investigating him.

After a trip to the border, Lu Yuan's suspicion was ruled out.

So, is it the emperor emeritus or Prime Minister Xun?

Prime Minister Xun bowed respectfully to Zong Zhengxi: "Your Majesty, I bow to you!"

Lu Yuan never knelt to salute the emperor. In comparison, the prime minister was much more polite.

Zong Zhengxi hurriedly said, "Prime Minister, please stand up quickly. This genius doctor, please also stand up."

The Prime Minister and Madam Yan stood up one after another.

"Xiangguo."

Lu Yuan bowed calmly and politely.

Prime Minister Xun also bowed in return.

Then, Prime Minister Xun said to Zong Zhengxi, "Your Majesty, I heard that the emperor is critically ill. The imperial doctors have tried their best to stabilize his condition, but they have been working day and night for three days and are exhausted. After asking around, I learned that Lady Yan of Wanhua Tower is an excellent doctor. Why not ask her to take a look at the emperor?"

These words not only made the purpose of the visit clear, but also gave the imperial doctors a way out.

Who wouldn’t feel relieved after hearing this?

All the princes had no objection.

Zong Zhengxi had no choice but to agree.

Lady Yan came to the bed and said to Princess Wanping, "Princess, I need to diagnose the emperor's pulse. Please go to the chair and rest for a while."

Princess Wanping did not move. She was so sad that she looked dazed.

Finally, Zong Zhengxi asked two palace maids to take her away by force: "Don't hurt my sister!"

Madam Yan felt the emperor's pulse, examined his body, opened his eyelids to look at his pupils and tongue, and shook her head: "It's not a febrile disease, nor is it poisoning. It's so strange, I have never seen this kind of disease before."

Prime Minister Xun frowned and asked, "Is there any way to cure it?"

Madam Yan shook her head again: "If we can't find the disease, we can't prescribe the right medicine."

Meng Qianqian stared, she believed in Madam Yan's medical skills and believed that she would not make a wrong diagnosis.

It's neither febrile disease nor poisoning, so it can only be -

She asked, "Can you let me try?"

Madam Yan smiled faintly: "You? Don't forget that I was the one who saved your life. You are so powerful, how come you can't even cure your own cold?"

Upon hearing this, the princes were even more unwilling to let Meng Qianqian treat the retired emperor.

Meng Qianqian said: "Doctors don't treat themselves."

It's not that she can't be cured, it's that she lacks medicine. She can't buy the kind of Ganoderma lucidum that can treat colds even if she has money.

Madam Yan smiled and said, "It's a good saying that a doctor doesn't treat himself. I'm afraid that your Governor's Office... has ulterior motives. You know, it's easy for a doctor to kill someone, just like Madam Chu did back then."

Yes, the great Marshal Chu, who was a master of martial arts, died at the hands of Madam Chu, the miracle doctor at the border.

Lu Yuan asked Meng Qianqian in a low voice: "How confident are you?"

Meng Qianqian thought for a moment and said, "Less than 30%."

Lu Yuan: "That's enough."

Before Meng Qianqian could figure out what "enough" meant, she saw Lu Yuan take a few steps forward very solemnly, with his full aura on display.

"I am willing to guarantee with my life that my wife will never assassinate the emperor. As long as the emperor is alive, I will live. When the emperor dies, I will die!"

Hey, there are no double monthly tickets today.
