The best ring

Who gave the poison? !

This is the biggest doubt in everyone's mind.

The old emperor is not an ordinary person, he is the emperor of Yanfeng Kingdom!

Now, someone dares to give His Majesty such poison. It is simply audacious. But, this person actually succeeded!

"Mr. Liu, tell me, who gave this poison to His Majesty?" One of the doctors looked at the doctor who just spoke.

This Imperial Physician Liu was the most authoritative person in the Imperial Hospital. His words convinced all the other Imperial Physicians. This time, Imperial Physician Liu was also responsible for the treatment of the old emperor's illness.

"I don't know." Doctor Liu shook his head, an inexplicable look flashed in his eyes, "However, during this period of time, only the second prince Zhao Ke and Your Majesty have been alone together!"

Ever since the old emperor became seriously ill, he had been surrounded by many people, and almost no one had the chance to be alone with the old emperor.

Except for the second prince Zhao Ke!

If you want to poison someone in the presence of outsiders, it is basically impossible to have a chance, and it is even more impossible to avoid everyone's sight. If you want to poison without anyone noticing, it is best to be alone with the old emperor. convenient!

When other imperial doctors heard what Imperial Physician Liu said, they all looked shocked.

"Mr. Liu, do you mean that the Second Prince..."

"I didn't say anything, and I didn't suspect anyone." Dr. Liu interrupted: "Who gave His Majesty the poison? Naturally, someone from the Dali Temple will investigate. Our task is to do our best to treat His Majesty. The rest It has nothing to do with us.”

The other doctors nodded subconsciously.

No matter who poisoned the old emperor, it obviously involved a palace battle or even a royal scandal. This matter cannot be trivial, and it is not something that the imperial doctors can handle. Staying out of the matter is the safest and safest way. .

After reaching this consensus, everyone continued to do their best to treat the old emperor, but what Dr. Liu just said still lingered in everyone's minds and could not be shaken off!

Does it really have nothing to do with the second prince?

This doubt couldn't help but appear in everyone's minds.

From the corner of his eye, Doctor Liu glanced at the colleagues beside him, and an imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

If a man does not serve himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth!

What Imperial Physician Liu just said certainly had his own plans.

Several imperial doctors gathered around the old emperor and used all their skills. However, after being hit by Min Guilin, it was difficult for the gods to save him. Even though Imperial Physician Liu and others had tried their best, they still could not save the old emperor.

The old emperor breathed his last half an hour after the poison of Min guilt took hold.

The old emperor passed away!

Even until his death, he was unable to wake up and leave any last words.

Looking at the old emperor who had died, Imperial Physician Liu and others knew that the sky of Yanfeng Kingdom had collapsed!

Before, even though the old emperor had been in poor health and was often seriously ill, as long as he was still breathing, his intimidation was still there, and some people with ulterior motives in the court did not dare to take any action. The other three superpowers, Nor dare to look down upon Yanfeng Country.

But now that the old emperor has passed away, this deterrent is naturally gone. Although Imperial Physician Liu and others do not know much about political affairs, they can roughly feel that Yanfeng Kingdom is afraid of internal and external troubles. stage.

In particular, the old emperor has not designated a successor to the throne, which will further aggravate the internal contradictions and conflicts in Yanfeng Kingdom.

Except for the old emperor and Zhao Ke, no one else knew that the old emperor wanted to ennoble the second prince Zhao Ke as the crown prince. Originally, the old emperor wanted to have a detailed chat with Zhao Ke before officially making the decision. purpose.

But the old emperor did not expect that he would be poisoned. Moreover, he was still poisoned by such a strong poison. The imperial doctors were unable to save him at all, and they could not even revive him for a moment. As a result, the matter of canonizing Zhao Ke naturally came to an end. .

At this time, Zhao Ke didn't know about this. After coming out of the palace, he returned to the mansion with excitement.

Although when he left the palace, he knew that his father's condition seemed to have become more serious, and he was somewhat worried, but compared with the joy of being about to obtain the position of prince, this matter was nothing at all.

However, Zhao Ke didn't know that he only thought that nothing would happen to the old emperor under the treatment of the imperial doctors, but he never thought that the farewell he just said was an eternal farewell to his father!

When Zhao Ke returned to his mansion, he found Yuan Ji and Hou Zhong waiting for him.

Seeing Yuan Ji, Zhao Ke thought about what his father said to him in the palace before. When he saw Yuan Ji again, Zhao Ke's thoughts were inevitably a little complicated, and he did not trust Yuan Ji as much as before.

However, Yuan Ji did not see the change in Zhao Ke's heart. When he saw Zhao Ke coming back, he quickly stepped forward and asked expectantly: "Your Highness, why did Your Majesty let you enter the palace?"

Hou Zhong next to Yuan Ji also looked at Zhao Ke expectantly, waiting for his answer.

"My father called me over because he wanted to make me the crown prince." Zhao Ke did not hide this matter from Yuan Ji and Hou Zhong.

"Very good!"

After hearing Zhao Ke's words, both Yuan Ji and Hou Zhong were very excited even though they had been mentally prepared.

You know, supporting the prince to compete for the crown prince's position is like gambling, and the stakes are not small, it is their future, and even their lives!

Now Zhao Ke's words indicate that they made the right bet! They won the bet!

What awaits them is the glory, wealth and bright future of the soldiers.

The two of them could finally feel relieved.

"Then your Majesty has issued an imperial edict?" Yuanji asked quickly.

Making a verbal promise and issuing an imperial edict are two completely different situations. Before the imperial edict is issued to confirm the identity of Prince Zhao Ke, everything is still uncertain.

What if the old emperor just said casually to Zhao Ke?

What if the old emperor suddenly changes his mind?

Anything can happen, no one can tell!

"No." Zhao Ke shook his head.

"No?" The smiles on Yuan Ji and Hou Zhong's faces suddenly cooled down a bit: "Why? Did His Majesty say when the imperial edict will be issued?"

"I had a good chat with my father. My father's condition suddenly worsened and he coughed violently." Zhao Ke said: "Then, the imperial doctors came in to treat my father. I was kicked out by the imperial doctors. However, when my father's condition stabilized, Yes, I believe an imperial edict will be issued soon.”

"Your Majesty's condition has worsened? Is it serious?" Yuanji asked.

"It looks quite serious." Zhao Ke said, "However, my father's illness has been like this for a long time, and it will stabilize soon this time."

Yuan Ji and Hou Zhong thought for a while and nodded.

Indeed, the old emperor's disease has been going on for several years. It has been recurring like this, sometimes serious, sometimes normal. The old emperor has survived it before, and it will definitely be the same this time.

Moreover, even if he can't survive it and the old emperor is really in trouble this time, as long as the old emperor wakes up for a moment, it will be enough to issue an imperial edict.

Thinking of this, Yuan Ji and Hou Zhong instantly felt more at ease.
