After the morning court session the next day, Emperor Shengwen had just stepped down from the sedan chair when his vision suddenly went dark.

Chen Wenjin hurriedly and calmly supported Emperor Shengwen, then exchanged a glance with Wang Chun. He felt as if a huge rock was pressing on his heart, heavy.

Your Majesty has been obviously unwell these days.

However, when someone from the Imperial Hospital was called in to take His Majesty's pulse, they said that there was nothing seriously wrong with His Majesty's health.

When the door of the Imperial Study was closed, only Chen Wenjin and Wang Chun were left beside Emperor Shengwen. Chen Wenjin finally couldn't help but bow and said:

"Your Majesty, I will go to the Dingbei Palace today."

In the entire capital of Da Chu, the most reliable medical expert right now is probably Ning Xin, who is temporarily staying in Dingbei Palace.

Emperor Shengwen sat in the chair dizzy for a long time before he recovered.

If he didn't take it seriously a few days ago, he discovered something was wrong today.

Not only did he feel dizzy occasionally, his heartbeat also became fast and slow, and he would get a splitting headache if he thought for too long.

If this continued, he would not even be able to attend court normally and would not have the energy to review memorials.

"Which doctor from the Imperial Hospital has been checking my pulse these days?"

Emperor Shengwen pinched his nose and rubbed it, then asked in a deep voice.

Wang Chun bowed and said:

"The day before yesterday it was Sun Ping, and yesterday it was Su Xingfang."

Emperor Shengwen closed his eyes and frowned, he just felt that the names of these two people sounded very familiar.

He suddenly opened his eyes and placed his hands lightly on the desk.

In recent years, the Dingbei Palace has hired a fixed number of imperial physicians for Yue Yuan, and they are none other than Sun Ping and Su Xingfang.

Emperor Shengwen's fear of Yue Yuan faded after Yue Yuan broke his leg, but he would still ask someone to keep an eye on Yue Yuan's condition from time to time.

Is there any coincidence in this?

"After Yue Ran invited Ning Xin to the Dingbei Palace, have these two ever been to the Dingbei Palace again?"

Wang Chun hesitated for a moment. The surveillance of Dingbei Palace was no longer the same as in the past, and the secret agents did not often send letters into the palace.

After Yue Ran returned to Beijing, the secret line became completely dormant. He was not very clear about the latest news from the Dingbei Palace.

Emperor Shengwen felt a sharp pain in his head again, which became more severe than the last time.

He could not care about anything else at the moment. Just as he was about to ask Chen Wen to go in and find Ning Xin, a eunuch outside the imperial study raised his voice and reported:

"Your Majesty, General Yue Ran requests to see you."

Emperor Shengwen gritted his teeth, grabbed a silk handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and gulped down a big mouthful of strong tea before saying in a deep voice:

"Xuan!"

The door of the imperial study opened, and Yue Ran, dressed in formal attire, followed by a maid, entered the imperial study.

Chen Wenjin saw the maid who was looking down at her feet, frowned, and reminded her softly:

"General Yue, how can you bring people into the imperial study at will?"

Yue Ran gave Chen Wenjin a soothing smile, then knelt down facing Emperor Shengwen:

"I ask Your Majesty to allow the person I brought with me to diagnose Your Majesty's pulse."

Wang Chun and Chen Wenjin's eyelids twitched suddenly.

Yue Ran actually knew that His Majesty was ill?

Emperor Shengwen looked at Yue Ran with a serious look in his eyes.

At this point, he didn't dare to trust anyone. Although Yue Ran and his daughter were loyal, he didn't know where the situation would go if they knew he had an acute illness.

Before Emperor Shengwen could speak, the maid behind Yue Ran had already torn off a human skin mask from her face, revealing a face that was familiar to Emperor Shengwen.

"Doctor Ning?"

Chen Wenjin had already said the name with surprise.

It's like someone brings you a pillow just when you're sleepy. Ning Xin actually sneaked into the palace by herself.

By the way, why did Ning Xin disguise herself and enter the palace?

Ning Xin bowed to Emperor Shengwen, and then her eyes were fixed on Emperor Shengwen's face:

"Your Majesty, you don't look well."

Emperor Shengwen was speechless for a moment, but he was very familiar with Ning Xin's style and didn't bother to argue with her.

"Since you are here, it's a good opportunity for me to take a look."

An hour later, Emperor Shengwen smashed a teacup in the imperial study. Everyone guarding outside heard Emperor Shengwen's angry shout:

"I really indulge you too much. You have to come to me for such a trivial matter? Bring your people and get out!"

The people outside the imperial study were silent. When the door opened, they saw Yue Ran hurriedly leaving with her maid, her lips tightly pursed and her face expressionless.

Although I don’t know what exactly happened, it was obviously not good for Yue Ran.

For a time, the news that Yue Ran had angered Emperor Shengwen spread like wildfire.

Inside the imperial study, Wang Chun and Chen Wenjin were secretly horrified.

Emperor Shengwen's face turned even colder, and he pinched the wolf hair brush in his hand off.

Ning Xin diagnosed that Emperor Shengwen had been poisoned, and the amount of poison was not small. If it were an ordinary person, he would have died long ago.

His life was hanging by a thread, but Sun Ping and Su Xingfang from the Imperial Hospital said that there was nothing wrong with him. How courageous!

——"Fortunately, your majesty must have come into contact with a divine object with powerful healing power, which saved your majesty's vitality. I will immediately write an antidote for your majesty. If you take it according to the prescription, the poison will be completely removed within ten days!"

Godly object...

Emperor Shengwen immediately thought of the golden miracle that Yue Ran presented.

Now the miracle is placed at the head of his bed in his bedroom, and he plays with it in his hands every night.

Looking back, every time he encountered that miracle, his headache would be cured without any medicine.

If Yue Ran had not performed a miracle...

He was probably dead by now.

Emperor Shengwen's expression kept changing and his mood was extremely complicated.

According to Ning Xin's judgment, the person who poisoned the food may not have tampered with the food.

As the Son of Heaven, Emperor Shengwen had food tasters taste all the food he ate first.

Those who tasted the food for him are all alive and well now.

Emperor Shengwen recalled what Yue Ran said before he left:

"This time, I happened to hear General Xuanwu mention that Your Majesty looked unwell recently. I did not dare to delay, so I brought Ning Xin into the palace."

"Your Majesty's health is closely related to the fate of our Great Chu. I beg Your Majesty to conceal the fact that Doctor Ning came to the palace to treat him for the time being and lure the snake out of its hole."

Yue Ran's voice was very calm when he talked about luring the snake out of its hole.

Emperor Shengwen felt even colder in his heart.

Yue Ran's implication was that he should continue to pretend to be sick to lure out the person behind the scenes.

The person behind the scenes who could attack him without anyone noticing could only be the person closest to him and whom he trusts the most.

All of a sudden, several familiar faces appeared in his mind.

The Empress Dowager, the Queen, Shouning, and even... the Crown Prince.

Emperor Shengwen thought of his most beloved son, and suddenly felt a dull pain in his chest and abdomen. He opened his mouth unconsciously and spat out a mouthful of black blood, which fell on the memorial, looking as ferocious as a snake.

Chen Wenjin and Wang Chun were shocked and rushed to Emperor Shengwen, not knowing what to do.

Emperor Shengwen raised his hand to wipe the black blood from the corner of his lips, and the skin on the back of his hand that came into contact with the black blood actually felt a slight stinging pain like a needle.

It’s so poisonous. It’s really poisonous.

There was a chill in his eyes as he instructed his two personal eunuchs:

"Help me return to my bedroom. From today on, I am suffering from a serious illness and cannot attend court. I order the Crown Prince to be the regent!"
