Tragic death and rebirth, the daughter of a general poisoned the government and the country
Chapter 254 Emperor Ming is Critically Ill
Nan Huaishuo stared at the bare roof of the Yayu Prison in a daze. He had been in prison for five days, and everything outside was still calm.
Nan Huaishuo gritted his teeth and muttered Gu Zhi every day, wishing he could chew his name to pieces.
He was now waiting for Emperor Ming's poison to take effect, but Gu Zhi didn't take any action. If he didn't take any action...
Nan Huaishuo turned over in annoyance. Fortunately, he was a prince, and without the Emperor Ming's order, not even Nan Rongjing dared to torture him easily.
Hearing the rumbling sound of wheels coming from afar, Nan Huaishuo knew that someone was bringing him food.
He slowly sat up, straightened his clothes, and sat upright to maintain the dignity of a prince, never looking embarrassed in front of others.
A figure in a black robe pushed a wooden cart and stopped at the door of Nan Huaishuo's cell. He took out a basin and scooped out food from the large wooden barrel in the cart.
Nan Huaishuo sat there motionless, intending to wait for the old servant who brought him the meal to leave before going over to eat.
"Your Highness the Fifth Prince, please have your meal."
A low, dull sound was heard, like the sound of gravel rubbing against dry wood.
This sound!
Nan Huaishuo immediately stood up and walked to the prison door. He looked at the old slave who brought him food from between the logs and lowered his voice to a very low level.
"Mr. Gu?!"
Gu Zhi was still hidden in the black robe, and his expression could not be seen clearly. He nodded slowly.
"What are you waiting for? Why don't you take action?"
Nan Huaishuo's tone was agitated. He had suffered enough in the dark and damp cell these past few days. Even if he was just imprisoned without any punishment, it was unacceptable for a prince who had been pampered for many years.
"I'm waiting for an answer."
Nan Huaishuo was speechless. He understood that Gu Zhi would not release the eagle until he saw the rabbit, and was waiting for him to tell him about the woman in the painting.
Nan Huaishuo pondered for a moment, but time was precious and he had no time to think carefully. If the Yulin Guards discovered anything unusual, he would lose this chance to escape.
"Okay! I'll tell you..."
After Nan Huaishuo finished speaking, he stared at Gu Zhi nervously, fearing that he would go back on his word.
"Your Highness, do you really want me to activate the poison? Perhaps in a few days, His Majesty will let you go."
"I don't want to gamble, and I don't want to put my life in the hands of others!"
Nan Huaishuo said harshly that he and Emperor Ming had very similar personalities, so he was also a suspicious person.
Do you believe that Emperor Ming will let him go? No, Nan Huaishuo will doubt everything and he would rather prepare for the worst.
"Okay, I understand. Your Highness, please wait for good news."
After saying that, Gu Zhi pushed the cart away slowly.
Nan Huaishuo kept staring at him until he disappeared from his sight and left the cliff prison safely, then Nan Huaishuo breathed a sigh of relief.

Two days later, Emperor Ming suddenly issued an edict to suspend the morning court session, which caused a lot of discussion in the court and the public.
The Yulin Guards prevented the spread of rumors inside, and the Imperial Guards prevented unrest outside, but this move only exacerbated the suspicion and anxiety in people's hearts.
"What on earth has happened? There are imperial guards everywhere, and His Majesty has not shown up?"
"Shh, don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask, just do your job well."
"Yes, yes, yes, don't cause trouble at this time."
A few clerks gathered together to talk, and after a few words they exchanged a look that we both understood, and quickly dispersed.
They have already seen each other's thoughts from each other's eyes. Things are going to change in the Great Zhou!
In the General's mansion, Lin Ling hurriedly packed his armor and prepared to leave.
"Brother, wait a minute." Lin Yushu called out to Lin Ling.
"What's the matter? I'm in a hurry to wait for the imperial guards to patrol the city. I've been very busy recently."
"There are a few places that you need to focus on in the next few days..."
After listening thoughtfully, Lin Ling nodded sharply, "No problem!"
He patted his chest and walked out like a gust of wind.
Lin Yushu looked calm, but Chuntao beside her was a little worried.
"Miss, from what you said before, His Majesty might...will the capital city become chaotic?"
"Will!"
Because someone is lurking in the corners of the capital, waiting to stir up trouble.
The more chaotic the situation was, the more desperately the court officials and the people hoped that someone would come out to take charge of the situation. This was what Nan Huaishuo wanted.
Lin Ling didn't expect that his sister, who was so good at foresight, had even predicted where the trouble would happen in the capital at this time.
There were arsonists, robbers, shop smashers, and those who broke into the dungeon of the Jingzhao Yin Mansion.
If Lin Yushu hadn't reminded him earlier, he and the imperial guards behind him would probably have been walked like dogs today.
Of course Lin Yushu knew this, because she was well aware of these small forces planted by Nan Huaishuo in the capital in her previous life.
However, the imperial guards can only deal with the riots outside the palace for now. The palace is guarded by the imperial guards, the inner guards and the imperial guards. No one knows about Nan Huaishuo’s arrangements in the palace except Nan Huaishuo himself.
The current unrest in the capital is just the beginning. As long as Emperor Ming does not show up, the capital will only become more and more chaotic.
But Emperor Ming is now critically ill...
A few days ago, Nan Rongjing vowed to Lin Yushu: "I think His Majesty will be disappointed. Nan Huaishuo will definitely take action against him."
"Why?"
Lin Yushu was a little confused. In her opinion, Nan Huaishuo should be able to guess Emperor Ming's thoughts. Now as long as he behaved himself and did not act rashly, he would be released soon.
"That day when I was close to His Majesty in the Imperial Study, the gold-eating Gu in my stomach began to move. Although it only lasted for a very short time, I can confirm that Emperor Ming has a Gu, and it is a very powerful Gu."
Only in this way will the gold-eating insect show brief abnormal movements when threatened by its own kind.
Lin Yushu understood what Nan Rongjing meant.
"Do you need my help?"
As long as it is not a Gu King of the level of Gold-eating Gu, Lin Yushu is confident that she can solve it.
"No need, we can just deal with it as it happens."
"With Nan Huaishuo's methods, if he chooses to take the risk and poison His Majesty, His Majesty will never live too long, and there will be no possibility for him to recover."
If things get worse, things will change. The most likely scenario is that Emperor Ming dies suddenly, and Nan Huaishuo takes advantage of the turmoil in the capital and is supported by his supporters to ascend the throne.
Sure enough, Emperor Ming suddenly fell ill three days ago. Before losing consciousness, he summoned several important court officials including Nan Rongjing, arranged government affairs, and then fell into a coma completely.
But to their surprise, after three days, Emperor Ming was still alive.
Did they guess wrong?
Lin Yushu fell into deep thought, and a premonition of unknown danger arose in her heart.
Relying on the memories of her previous life and her understanding of people like Emperor Ming and Nan Huaishuo, she has always been successful. But this incident made her feel for the first time that she was blinded by a fog.
Who is hiding behind this and what is his purpose?
