When the eunuch saw the prince coming, he hurriedly bowed and said, "This old servant pays respect to His Royal Highness the prince."

"Sir, please excuse me. How is your father today?"

"Reporting to His Royal Highness, the Emperor is still the same as before, there is no change."

"Your Highness, I dare to ask you. The emperor has been in poor health. This concerns the safety of the entire Zheng State. How about posting an imperial edict to invite civilian doctors to come to the palace to treat the emperor?"

"My father-in-law thinks that the imperial doctor's medical skills are not as good as those of the rural peasants, right?"

"I dare not question the Imperial Master, but the Emperor's health has not been good. I and the ladies in the palace are very worried."

The prince stared at the eunuch fiercely and said viciously: "Which lady in the palace is gossiping? Be careful or I will cut off his tongue."

"Your Highness, only the Queen and Concubine Li have come to take care of the emperor in the past few months. The other ladies are unaware of the emperor's illness, so no one should speak nonsense."

"That's because you are talking nonsense, father-in-law. You should know how to judge the situation and act accordingly."

"Now the whole court is ruled by this prince. Do you think you can question this prince?"

"I don't dare, old slave."

"It's best if you don't dare. If it weren't for your meritorious service in taking care of our father, I would definitely punish you."

"I am just worried about the safety of the emperor."

"You just need to take good care of your father, and you don't have to worry about other things."

"I am more worried about my father's health, but the imperial teacher said that my father's illness needs to be treated slowly. He can recover with a strong medicine, but this will damage my father's body."

"I am overthinking, please forgive me, Your Highness."

"Eunuch is also concerned about our father's health. This prince is so happy that he cannot blame you."

The emperor became furious when he heard what the prince said, and the prince became more and more presumptuous.

Does he dare to attack his concubines and Chen Ling? Does he think that if he is seriously ill, he will be the future emperor of Zheng?

It is not his turn to be in charge of Zheng State before I die.

The prince gave the pill in his hand to the eunuch, who turned around and replaced it with an antidote and put it in the emperor's mouth. The prince left only after seeing the emperor take the "pill" with peace of mind.

The emperor heard the footsteps receding and slowly opened his red eyes.

"Chen Ling, tell me what's going on. I want to hear the truth."

The eunuch looked at the emperor cautiously and said timidly: "Your Majesty, you are poisoned. The Second Prince, please come back and replace the "pill" sent by the Crown Prince with an antidote. Otherwise, you will continue to sleep and will be unconscious even if you wake up."

"It was the Imperial Master who poisoned me."

"Yes."

"The Second Prince poured the poison of the past two days into the orchid pot, and now the orchid is withering and dying."

The emperor was so angry that he was afraid of hitting the quilt. He gritted his teeth and said, "Prince and Imperial Master, you are so bold that you dare to poison me. The Crown Prince can naturally inherit the throne. It's just a foolish dream."

Mo Yan walked out from the darkness and looked at the emperor without saying a word.

"Yan'er, how is my dragon body?"

"Reporting to the emperor, the poison is easy to cure, but the imperial teacher added cold food powder to the elixir. This thing is addictive. If you want to completely quit, you need a certain amount of willpower and endure great pain."

"How about not quitting?"

"If you take this for a long time, it will damage your internal organs. To a certain extent..."

"No wonder I always wanted to take the elixir. It turns out that the elixir contains addictive Hanshi Powder. Great! Imperial Master, you wait, Crown Prince. I will deal with you once I have gotten rid of the Hanshi Powder poison."

"You dare to poison me without thinking about the consequences."

"Father, you have to pretend to be seriously ill during this period so that the Crown Prince and others can relax their vigilance."

"I understand."

"How is the court?"

The eunuch looked at the emperor cautiously and dared not speak.

"Chen Ling, tell me, if I can accept the poisoning by the Imperial Master and the Crown Prince, is there anything else I cannot accept?"

"Your Majesty, since you took the imperial master's elixir for more than two years, your body has been in trouble. The crown prince has killed and demoted loyal ministers in the court. Now the court is dominated by treacherous ministers who follow the crown prince's lead."

"The court has become the crown prince's world. No one dares to contradict the crown prince's orders, or they will be executed."

"The Third and Fourth Princes, Prince Ruyang, and Prince Li, are they also silent?"

"Reporting to the Emperor, the Third and Fourth Princes refuted the Crown Prince's killing of ministers a few months ago. Not long after, one of them died suddenly at home, and the other was brutally murdered when he went out."

"Not long after, Prince Ruyang was bedridden again, and later Prince Li also remained silent."

"This rebellious son is so cruel and merciless that he even spared his own brothers and uncle. Such a person is not worthy of being a human being. He still wants to get the throne. It's just a daydream."

"Yan'er, you have to help me get rid of the poison of Hanshi Powder no matter what. Even if it hurts, I have to get rid of it completely."

"Yes."
