After the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion was reborn, she divorced and married the prince!

Chu Yanchen and his family of three, along with Nanxing and Chu Xiyuan, entered the palace to meet the emperor.

The emperor was in the Purple Palace at this time.

The only ones guarding the emperor were the eunuchs and the imperial doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau.

The imperial doctors all looked nervous and dared not even breathe.

The Crown Prince, Prince Cheng, the Third Prince, and even the people in the harem were not with the Emperor at this time.

"Your Highness Prince Jing, you are here. Please come and see the Emperor!" When the imperial physician saw Chu Yanchen coming, he hurried forward to salute.

"Why did father suddenly fall ill?" Chu Yanchen's face was gloomy.

The doctors were embarrassed, but the judge stepped forward and whispered, "In fact, the emperor did not fall ill suddenly."

"Since the beginning of autumn, the emperor's health has been getting worse. The reason he suddenly returned to the capital from hunting last time was not because of Prince Cheng... but because of the emperor's health."

"The Emperor did not order you to tell the other princes. He is worried about... the unstable situation."

The emperor was in good health, but he was getting old, and his children were becoming restless.

If his sons knew that his health was already at the end of its strength, the struggle for power would probably become even more intense.

Chu Yanchen frowned, "Let me see the emperor. You must try to wake him up."

"Yes!" Everyone from the Imperial Hospital pushed the table to the side hall, where the doctors discussed the medication.

Chu Yanchen and his family of three were standing in front of the dragon bed.

Chu Yanchen stepped aside and nodded at Nanxing.

Nan Xing was about to step forward, but He Hongxi blocked her way and said, "Your Highness Prince Jing, what do you mean?"

"She is the descendant of a miracle doctor. Ask her to take a look at father." Chu Yanchen said.

He Hongxi frowned and said hesitantly, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, King Cheng, the Third Prince...why haven't they come yet?"

Chu Xiyuan became anxious upon seeing this.

By the time his father arrives, it will probably be too late!

His face tensed, "My father will be here soon, please ask her to see my grandfather! She is a great doctor, maybe she can help me better than the doctors!"

He Hongxi hesitated for a moment, looked at Chu Yanchen, and then at Chu Xiyuan.

He finally stepped aside.

Nanxing stepped forward to take the emperor's pulse.

The emperor was lying on the couch, his forehead was black, his lips were dark red, and the edges of his nails were also black.

Nan Xing frowned, "Your Majesty..."

She looked embarrassed and hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong with father? Tell me!" Chu Yanchen was anxious.

He Hongxi's heart was in his throat. He didn't dare to blink and stared at Nanxing closely.

"The Emperor has been poisoned!"

"What? No, it's impossible!" He Hongxi's voice was choked.

Chu Yanchen grabbed his collar, his eyes spitting fire.

"Do you have any way to detoxify?" Song Mingli asked quickly.

Nan Xing frowned, "The poison can be cured, but the emperor is old. Even if the poison is cured and he wakes up, I'm afraid... his limbs will be numb and he will have difficulty moving."

"It's just... you can't move anymore?" Chu Yanchen's voice trembled.

Nan Xing took a deep breath and nodded slowly, "This is the best result... because there is more than one kind of poison in the emperor's body."

"What?!" Chu Yanchen and He Hongxi were both shocked.

He Hongxi didn't care about Prince Jing's big hand grabbing his collar. His pupils trembled and his eyes turned red.

"And... I still can't figure out if it's poison or something else."

"But the emperor is old, and people will get sick if they eat grains... I will detoxify him first, let the emperor wake up, and then think of a solution."

Nanxing said this and took out her needle bag.

She inserted long and thin silver needles into the emperor's head, face, neck, and shoulders.

He Hongxi trembled all over and stared at her hand without blinking.

His eyes were red, and it was unclear whether he was afraid or angry.

"How do you take care of your father? You are the person he trusts the most!"

"Even his trust in us sons cannot compare to his trust in you!"

Chu Yanchen stared at He Hongxi.

He Hongxi sniffed and knelt down, "It is my fault...but I have never betrayed the emperor!"

"Only if the emperor is good can the servant be good! What good will it bring to the servant if the emperor is murdered? Can the servant still serve the new master?"

After He Hongxi finished speaking, he froze.

He couldn't do it, but the same couldn't be said for the young eunuchs in front of the emperor.

A new emperor has new ministers, and the same goes for eunuchs.

He is the old emperor's confidant, but there is no guarantee that the young eunuchs around the emperor will have other ideas as long as the old emperor is around.

"Ha... idiot!" He Hongxi cursed inwardly.

If they betray the old emperor and join the new master!

Do they think that the new master will really use them after he ascends the throne?

Naive! Stupid!

The eunuchs who dare to murder their master's life will be the first to be dealt with when the new emperor takes the throne!

He Hongxi was shaking with anger.

At this moment, there was a sound of troops outside the hall.

Jingyou immediately ran to the palace gate, his face sank, "We are surrounded!"

The prince came with his troops, and the imperial guards stopped them in the outer room of the Purple Palace.

When Chu Xiyuan saw his father in military uniform outside, his shoulders slumped and he was about to collapse. "Father..."

Chu Yanchen asked Song Mingli and Nanxing to stay beside the emperor, and asked Jingyou to keep an eye on He Hongxi.

He strode out of the palace and looked at the prince coldly.

"What does your Highness mean?"

"Are you going to force a confession of rebellion?"

The prince was serious and righteous, "It is you who wants to rebel! Chu Yanchen! Father has been so good to you! And yet you are still not satisfied! You actually want to kill your father and seize the throne!"

Chu Yanchen frowned and looked at the prince.

He is obviously the most familiar elder brother, but at this moment, he looks so strange.

"Brother, you..."

"You poisoned my father, led me into the palace, poisoned my father to death, and then accused me of patricide?"

"In this way, you can ascend the throne and become emperor without any more troubles?"

Chu Yanchen asked in a low voice.

"What nonsense are you talking about? When did I poison my father? When did I bring you into the palace?"

"It's obviously you, you are so proud of yourself! You have evil ambitions! You want to kill your father and usurp the throne!"

"I am the crown prince, why should I fight with you?"

The prince pointed at Chu Yanchen and spoke sternly.

Chu Yanchen murmured, "Yes, you are the crown prince, why are you pressing me step by step?"

While the two brothers were questioning each other, the imperial doctors came out from the side hall.

"How is my father?" the prince asked anxiously. The concern and anxiety on his face were obvious and did not seem fake.

The imperial doctors sighed and shook their heads.

"What?" the prince was shocked.

The doctors said, "The emperor is in critical condition. We wanted to do our best to save him, but Prince Jing drove us to a side hall and did not allow us to rescue him... We don't know the emperor's current condition."

Chu Yanchen looked at the imperial doctors in astonishment.

So... they are already the prince's people?

Yes, my father's health was not good to begin with, and he was already at the end of his strength. And the crown prince was the heir to the throne.

King Cheng and the third prince had no hope of winning, and he had no desire to compete.

Therefore, the prince will definitely hold great power.

At this time, as long as you are not stupid, you should know how to choose.

"Chu Yanchen!" The prince drew his sword and pointed it at him, "What else do you have to say?"

"not like this!"

Chu Xiyuan suddenly rushed out of the hall, staring at his father with red eyes.
