The Time Traveling Prince Consort Plans to Rule the World for Me

Inside Shuyu Tower, Su Muxue took the handkerchief stained with Su Yu's fingertips' blood and handed it to the old doctor in front of her with a serious expression.

This old doctor once served in Su Yi's mansion, but because of his advanced age, Su Yi allowed him to retire and return home.

Fortunately, Zhao Yefan knew where he lived and sent someone to bring him back to the capital day and night.

Although Su Muxue is indifferent to worldly affairs on weekdays, as a member of the royal family, she has long seen through the intrigues and conspiracies in the palace.

Considering all the events that had happened from the time Su Yi fell ill to the time Su Yuntian successfully became the regent, and considering Su Yi's abnormal behavior over the past month or two, she knew that Su Yuntian must be involved in Su Yi's coma.

After bringing the old doctor back to the capital, Su Muxue and Zhao Yefan described Su Yu's symptoms in detail to the old doctor. However, the old doctor did not dare to make a conclusion easily and said that he had to treat Su Yu personally before he could judge Su Yu's condition.

But ever since Su Yu suddenly fainted and lost consciousness in the hall, Su Yuntian issued an order: No one except the imperial physician was allowed to approach the Zichen Hall.

Therefore, wanting to bring the old doctor into the palace and even to the Purple Palace would be harder than climbing to heaven.

Finally, the old doctor thought of a solution, which was to get blood from Su Yu's fingertips, which might be able to reveal one or two percent of the disease.

So today, outside the Zichen Palace, Su Muxue used her status as a princess to coerce, bribe, and even insist on being unreasonable, before the guards guarding the palace let her into the Zichen Palace to meet Su Yu.

After entering the hall, Su Muxue saw Su Yu's pale and sick face, and tears fell like pearls.

To Su Muxue, Su Yu is a good father, and his position in her heart is even greater than that of her mother Nan Yu.

She just couldn't help feeling sad. Not long after she entered the hall, Su Yuntian followed her into the Zichen Hall. She turned her back to Su Yuntian and quickly took blood from Su Yu's fingertips. Then she used the excuse of having an argument with Su Yuntian and left the Zichen Hall with the blood she had taken from Su Yu's fingertips.

The old doctor stared at the handkerchief stained with brown-red blood, brought it close to his nose and sniffed it, then used water to dissolve the blood on the handkerchief and dipped a little with a silver needle. After watching for a while, he was shocked to see that the silver needle had turned gray-black.

The old doctor held the silver needle in his hand and hurriedly reported to Su Muxue: "Princess, the emperor's blood contains poison. The poison is called opium poppy. Judging from the color of the blood, it is already there." The old doctor looked at Su Muxue, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

Su Muxue saw the old doctor's embarrassment and felt nervous. She quickly held his hand and asked, "How far has it come?"

The old doctor showed a look of pity, but finally answered cruelly: "It is already a state where no medicine can help."

When Su Muxue heard this, she felt like she had lost all strength and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Zhao Yefan was quick to act and hugged her.

Su Muxue looked horrified, looking at the old doctor in disbelief, as if the sky had collapsed and the earth had collapsed. She said, "No, maybe you misdiagnosed me. How could my father be so terminally ill that there is no cure?"

The old doctor sighed deeply and said, "I understand that it is difficult for the princess to accept this, but this is the truth. The person who poisoned the emperor intended to take his life."

"When the drug is first taken, the user will be excited, happy, and full of energy. He can stay awake for up to a month, and then he will become exhausted and fall to the ground."

Zhao Yefan looked at Su Muxue's red eyes from crying, and his heart ached. While comforting Su Muxue, he asked the old doctor: "Old sir, is the emperor's illness really incurable?"

The old doctor sighed again: "If we had discovered that the emperor was poisoned by the opium poppy at the beginning, and taken the Nangong Divine Sect's longevity pill in time, there might still be a glimmer of hope for his survival."

However, the longevity elixir is the most precious treasure of the Nangong Divine Sect, and obtaining it is undoubtedly as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Even if the leader of Nangong Divine Sect is willing to offer the longevity elixir, Nangong Divine Sect is a thousand miles away from here, and it will take a month to travel back and forth. The emperor simply cannot hold on until then.

"You must have misdiagnosed me. How could my father die soon? He hasn't seen my brother marry his sister-in-law, nor has he seen me get married. How could he leave like this?"

Su Muxue cried very sadly, and the old doctor felt sad when he saw this.

Unfortunately, no matter whether one is a powerful royal noble or a humble and poor commoner, everyone has things they have to do. He shook his head and sighed, feeling helpless.

Zhao Yefan asked the old doctor, "How much time does the emperor have left?"

The old doctor replied, "I'm afraid it will only be in the next two days."

When Su Muxue heard the old doctor say this, her face turned pale instantly and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Suddenly, she felt her consciousness gradually becoming blurred, as if being swallowed by thick darkness.

Then her body tilted weakly and she fainted in Zhao Yefan's arms.

"Mu Xue!"

Zhao Yefan hugged Su Muxue in fear and kept calling her name anxiously. The old doctor also hurried forward to check Su Muxue and said to Zhao Yefan.

"Don't worry, my lord. The princess is just too sad and angry. She will wake up on her own after a rest."

Zhao Yefan couldn't help but feel sad when he heard this, but when he thought of Su Muxue's endless sorrow once she woke up, his heart couldn't help but sink again.

Zhao Yefan's face was solemn. He closed his eyes slightly, then opened them after a while. He turned to the old doctor and said, "Thank you, sir, for prescribing a tranquilizer that will not harm the princess' body."

The old doctor was stunned and asked, "What is the meaning of this action, Prince?"

Zhao Yefan replied: "As you said, the emperor's time is coming, and there may be changes in the Dongyue Kingdom."

"To prevent the princess from meeting with any misfortune, I must send her to the Kingdom of Southern Shu as soon as possible and hand her over to her grandfather and King Yi."

The old doctor suddenly realized, "Your Highness is worried that Princess Mu Xue is unwilling to leave the Emperor, so he wants me to prescribe a tranquilizing incense to help the princess reach Southern Shu Kingdom smoothly?"

Zhao Yefan nodded. The old doctor said, "Then I will make some calming incense right away. The princess can take it every three days. I will also prescribe some nourishing soups for the princess to take with every meal. This will not only be safe for the princess, but also beneficial."

Zhao Yefan touched Su Muxue's fair face lovingly, and said to the old doctor in a low voice, "Thank you, sir."

Zhao Yefan had to send Su Muxue away from Dongyue Kingdom because he knew that Su Yu didn't have much time left. When Su Muxue woke up, she would definitely force her way into the palace and clash with Su Yuntian.

Su Yuntian is now in a high position and has great power. Even if Su Muxue has the palace soldiers given by Su Yu and some of the Moon Shadow Guards left by Su Yi, she can't even enter the palace. She will probably be shot to death on the spot by Su Yuntian's men for treason before she even gets close to the palace gate.

Since Su Yu fainted, Su Yuntian, who became the regent, appointed Huang Xin as the general of Dongyue, keeping the army firmly under his own control.

In addition, the imperial guards of the imperial city also obeyed his orders. At this time, Su Yuntian was like an emperor, and the only difference between him and the real emperor was a legitimate succession.

Su Yuntian controls the court of Dongyue. All officials who used to disagree with him in political views are now in danger, and the court of Dongyue has fallen into chaos.

Every day, officials in the court were dragged out to jail or directly beheaded because they offended him in big or small matters.

The first group to be suppressed were Su Yuntian’s former in-laws’ family, the Mu family!

The reason was still the same as the crime he had framed the Mu family with when he returned from Beiqi Kingdom, treason and collusion with the enemy, so not only Mu Weihou and his son, but the entire Mu family clan were all imprisoned in prison, awaiting trial.

However, anyone with a discerning eye knew that the Mu family would never collude with the enemy or commit treason. Su Yuntian's action was simply due to his resentment that Princess Yun had received the grace of divorce from the emperor that day, but was divorced by the Mu family's legitimate daughter.

Now that Su Yu is ill and Dongyue Kingdom is ruled by Su Yuntian, how could he let the Mu family go?
