Chapter 1172: Chapter 1171: The Man on the Dragon Bed, Something’s Off

The Emperor’s sleeping chamber.

Chu Qianli walked in and noticed that the window curtains were drawn, and the Emperor was lying on the bed.

But why, there were no Imperial Physicians around?

Wasn’t he poisoned?

"This Leader..."

"I am Yang Xun." Yang Xun stated with an expressionless face.

"Commander Yang, may I ask... what is the Emperor’s current condition?"

There was clearly a medicinal smell around, but it was not very strong; it seemed as if someone had used medicine, but everything had been cleared away.

The man on the Dragon Bed was either sleeping or unconscious, and from this distance, Chu Qianli couldn’t sense his breath.

She wanted to go over and check, but it seemed inappropriate as per etiquette.

If he truly was poisoned, why was no one attempting resuscitation?

What exactly was going on?

Yang Xun glanced at her, then back at the distant Dragon Bed.

"I do not know, miss. The Emperor requested your presence here, as for what matter, we await the Emperor’s instructions."

Yang Xun was clearly not in a good mood, and his attitude was not very warm, even slightly hostile.

But at least, he was not impatient.

The matter entrusted by the Emperor, no matter his own thoughts, he must carry it out well.

"May I approach?" Chu Qianli always felt that something was off about the man on the Dragon Bed.

"Impermissible." Yang Xun had not received any instructions and naturally could not agree at will.

Outside at this moment, suddenly came Little Shunzi’s anxious voice: "Commander Yang, Prince and Prince Yu are coming, along with several officials."

"Now?" Yang Xun was clearly Chu Jiangnan’s confidant; among the guards who could freely enter the Emperor’s sleeping chamber, there were definitely not many.

Chu Qianli paid attention to their expressions.

It seemed they both knew that these people were bound to come, but their speed seemed to have caught them both off guard.

Were they all scheming something, or were they planning something?

Yang Xun asked, "Didn’t Prince Yu injure his leg?"

"I heard he was carried over!"

Little Shunzi walked in urgently, looking at Yang Xu and anxiously asked, "Commander, what now... We can’t stop them outside, they will enter soon."

"Who heard what?"

"I couldn’t inquire, but they naturally must have heard something!"

"The Emperor just..."

Yang Xun didn’t continue, but his tone was indescribably sarcastic.

Eventually, he snorted coldly: "Utterly ridiculous!"

Chu Qianli figured it out.

The Emperor had just been poisoned, even if they rushed over upon hearing the news of his poisoning, they couldn’t have arrived so quickly!

Which means, the news of the Emperor’s poisoning had been spread before he was actually poisoned!

The reason why so many people came together, was to avoid suspicion from any one side!

The perpetrator behind the poisoning was utterly despicable! To be so lawlessly audacious!

Looking again at the man on the Dragon Bed, Chu Qianli felt a sinking heart, inexplicably uneasy.

If there was indeed an accident with the Emperor, or his life hanging by a thread due to the deep poisoning, this Nanming would be thrown into chaos in an instant.

They must not let them see any issue with the Emperor!

Chu Qianli didn’t know why she was feeling so anxious.

But indeed, she heard commotion from outside drawing nearer.

They can’t hold them back!

Just then, a deep voice came from the bed, "Little girl, come here."

Chu Qianli’s heart suddenly tensed up.

What did it mean to go over at this time?

But Yang Xun didn’t give her any chance to react, and pushed her towards the Dragon Bed.

Chu Qianli wanted to resist, but the closer she got to the Dragon Bed, the more she felt something was amiss.

What was off, was the man on the bed!
