Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 862 - 861: Have You Never Doubted the Cause of Her Death?

Chapter 862: Chapter 861: Have You Never Doubted the Cause of Her Death?

Chronic poisoning, in fact, had traceable signs beforehand, but because the emperor himself was too weak and had too many ailments,

the most important thing was that Chu Qianli had some doubts and resistance towards him, so the toxin, hidden deep within the body, remained inactive. Chu Qianli, during several of her previous pulse diagnostics, had failed to notice it.

No one knew how much time had passed when Eunuch Qing drove everyone out of the room.

Including himself.

"What exactly is the situation with the emperor?"

"How is the father emperor now?"

"Why hasn’t Chu Qianli come out yet? What exactly did she do to the father emperor?"

"Has the father emperor woken up?"

Faced with a group of princes, the prince, and the empress and noble consorts, Eunuch Qing was willing but helpless.

In the end, he could only shake his head, "This servant does not know, this servant is merely following the emperor’s oral decree, asking all of you masters to please remain calm and wait for the emperor’s instruction."

Eunuch Qing was also troubled.

This was the first time in the many years that Eunuch Qing had served by the emperor’s side that he was not trusted by the emperor, even he had to leave the bedroom.

Eunuch Qing felt somewhat disappointed.

The empress dowager had not yet received any news; she had been unwell recently and nobody dared to tell her anything.

She should recover first.

But soon it would be time to stay up to welcome the new year. If the emperor did not appear, the officials would start to have wild thoughts.

At this moment, what exactly were the emperor and Chu Qianli doing alone in the bedroom?

Feng Yexuan stood by, expressionless.

Feng Qihe was somewhat anxious, his gaze occasionally landing on the empress’ figure.

The empress’s gaze was fixed on some corner, seemingly distracted.

In short, everyone had their own thoughts.

Perhaps, they each had ulterior motives.

...In the bedroom, the emperor had already sat up.

Chu Qianli was administering the poison.

Blood slowly dripped from her fingertips, initially distinctly dark with a hint of purplish black, but now, it gradually turned red.

"Is the poison in my body...?"

"No." Chu Qianli knew what he was about to ask. Although her words might displease the emperor, as a doctor, she could only tell the truth.

"The emperor has been poisoned too deeply and for too long. It’s impossible to remove the toxins overnight."

She was still preparing medicine.

Glancing sideways at the Liuli bowls beside the emperor, she then continued to focus on the medicine pills in her hand.

"In the future, if the emperor allows the imperial physician to administer this poisoning periodically, you can be detoxified each time, but the frequency should not be too high, or your body won’t be able to withstand it."

"Will you come to the palace to administer..."

"Sorry, I am from Longteng Country, and soon, I naturally have to return there."

The face of the emperor instantly darkened.

Chu Qianli smiled dismissively, "Emperor, the power of my Longteng Country is not inferior to your Beiming, so, Emperor, I don’t need to bow down to you, get it?"

The emperor was nearly provoked to anger by her words.

However, what she said was also the truth.

He was now completely debilitated, not even having the energy to lose his temper.

Still, no one had ever challenged him like this, and he found it hard to save face.

But unexpectedly, Chu Qianli really did not intend to give him much face, she casually said, "Don’t try to get angry at me, Emperor. We both hold positions that allow us to sit as equals."

She turned her head, giving him a smile, "If you lose your temper at me, I will leave immediately. You have thousands in your Imperial Guards, but I hold the antidote that can save you. We might as well die together, is that what you want?"

The emperor forcefully closed his eyes.

Trying hard to breathe deeply.

Don’t quibble with a young girl, else he would upset his own health, and it wouldn’t be worth it.

"You say, is this poison related to the Medicine Man Corps?" he suddenly asked.

"Perhaps not, but it seems, the method of making poison appears somewhat consistent."

This matter, however, still needs further investigation.

The emperor then said, "If it is related to the Medicine Man Corps, then perhaps you really should stay to investigate thoroughly."

"Why?" This was an affair of their imperial family, what did it have to do with her?

The emperor said coldly, "When Long Xiyue died within Beiming Territory, did you never doubt the cause of her death?"
