Raising a concubine under her nose, the reborn mistress marries the prince

Jiang Chuwei carefully pulled the last needle out of the emperor's acupuncture point with light and skillful movements.

At this moment, Lin Mushen, who had been waiting by the side, couldn't wait to ask: "Princess, why did my father suddenly fall into a coma? Will he wake up?"

As he spoke, his anxious eyes were fixed on Jiang Chuwei, as if he wanted to get the answer directly through her eyes.

Jiang Chuwei raised her head slightly and met Lin Mushen's eyes full of anxiety and desire, and a sneer appeared in her heart.

Lin Mushen was so nervous, probably because he was afraid that the emperor would find out the truth after waking up and expose his crime of poisoning, right?

What puzzled Jiang Chuwei was how King Jin found such a rare poison?

Could it be that there is some expert who is proficient in poisons hiding beside him?

Thinking of this, Jiang Chuwei slowly said, "Just as Prince Jin said, my father was indeed poisoned. This poison is extremely rare, and I really can't imagine where the person who poisoned it found it."

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone present looked frightened and started whispering to each other.

Obviously, everyone could sense from Jiang Chuwei's words that there was no hope of detoxification.

When Lin Mushen heard what Jiang Chuwei said, he was so angry that he almost fumed.

He cursed in his heart, this woman clearly did it on purpose!

What does it mean that his father was poisoned as he said?

Is he the only one who thinks the emperor was poisoned?

Clearly, Imperial Physician Zhou had made the same judgment before!

But at this moment he did not dare to refute easily, because he knew very well that the more anxious he was to defend himself, the more likely he would arouse suspicion, which would put him in a more unfavorable situation.

So, even though the rage in his heart was burning, he still forced himself not to flare up. After all, now was not the time to dwell on these details.

At this moment, Duke Zheng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up and asked, "Princess Yu, please tell me frankly, is it possible for the emperor to wake up?"

Just now, he saw completely the exchange of glances and hidden meanings between Prince Yu and the Princess.

However, Princess Yu did not make the matter clear in person, so even if he had some speculations in his mind, he did not dare to make rash judgments.

He needed a definite answer.

But how could Jiang Chuwei fulfill his wish?

Jiang Chuwei paused for a moment, then said slowly: "Although the poison in Father's body has been temporarily suppressed, as to whether he can wake up, to be honest, I really can't give a definite guarantee. After all, Father is deeply poisoned and will not be long."

Duke Zheng wanted to say something, but Lin Muheng at the side was shocked and blurted out: "What? Father has been poisoned for a long time?"

Obviously, he found this sudden news hard to believe.

You know, my father has always been in good health, how could he suddenly be poisoned for such a long time?

Thinking of this, Lin Muheng hurriedly asked: "Father has always been well, how could he be poisoned for such a long time? What is going on?"

It was obvious that he did not distrust what Jiang Chuwei said, but he just found it difficult to accept such a cruel fact for a while.

Lin Mushen suddenly became furious. He absolutely could not sit idly by and watch Jiang Chuwei's words being believed by everyone.

He shouted sternly, "Imperial Physician Zhou, explain this to me! You have been responsible for taking care of my father's body, but now the princess says that my father has been poisoned for a long time, and you have no idea? Could it be that the entire Imperial Hospital is full of good-for-nothings?"

Imperial Physician Zhou's face was as pale as paper, completely bloodless, as if all the vitality and energy had been drained away from him.

His heart sank to the bottom, knowing that he could not escape the blame this time.

After all, the emperor's poisoning was a serious matter, and he had not confirmed the diagnosis until today.

What’s more serious is that the emperor has been poisoned for quite some time, but he only realized it today.

This poison is so insidious and cunning, colorless and odorless, that it is difficult for people to detect its presence.

Imperial Physician Zhou had been practicing medicine for many years, but he had never seen such a strange poison.

However, what he didn't know was that this deadly poison was secretly found by Lin Mushen and cleverly mixed into his father's daily diet.

At first, even Lin Mushen himself had doubts about whether the poison could really take effect silently and was not completely sure.

What I didn't expect was that after my father took the medicine continuously, none of the so-called famous doctors in the Imperial Hospital could find the flaw in it.

Over time, Lin Mushen became more and more daring, and acted more and more unscrupulously.

However, he must not let others realize that his father had been poisoned for a long time.

Because the longer the time goes, the greater the possibility that the truth will be discovered.

Once a more in-depth and detailed investigation is launched, those who have handled this matter, no matter how careful they are, will find it difficult or impossible to leave any clues.

By that time, if the matter is exposed, not only will he be unable to escape the blame, but even his mother will probably be implicated.

All his plans will come to naught, and if he is not careful he will fall into an abyss from which there is no return.

Therefore, this matter must be firmly pinned on Lin Muheng's head!

Thinking of this, his eyes were like those of an eagle, fixed on the Imperial Physician Zhou in front of him, as if he wanted to penetrate him with his eyes.

After such intimidation and threats, Imperial Physician Zhou, in order to get rid of the accusation, would certainly cling to one fact like a frightened bird - that is, his father was poisoned just recently.

After all, Lin Mushen's men had never approached the emperor in the past few days.

The Imperial Physician Zhou's legs went limp, and he fell to his knees with a plop. His face was as pale as paper, and he said in a trembling voice, "I am truly incompetent. I am guilty, guilty... It was not until today that I realized that the Emperor had been poisoned for a long time. It was all due to my negligence. I am willing to die to apologize to the Emperor!"

After saying this, Imperial Physician Zhou stood up regardless of everything and rushed towards the pillar beside him.

It happened in a flash. Seeing this, Lin Muheng quickly dodged and pulled him back with lightning speed.

At the same time, Zhou Zhi was already in tears, sobbing and complaining: "My lord, I have committed a great sin by living in this world. Please show mercy and allow me to die to atone for my sins!"

Lin Muheng's face was gloomy, and he responded coldly: "If you really committed a serious crime, the Ministry of Justice will naturally rule and punish you according to the law. But now the emperor is still unconscious, and as the imperial physician, your top priority should be to take good care of the emperor. As for whether you are guilty or meritorious, everything will have to wait until the emperor wakes up before we can make a decision!"

Lin Mushen was stunned.

He couldn't believe it.

He has shown it so clearly, why is Imperial Physician Zhou still so stubborn?

Is he so fearless of death?
