After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

Chapter 442 If the problem cannot be solved, then that is the only way to go!

He had received kindness from the late empress and had said many good things about the crown prince to the emperor over the years, but he did not dare to say a word about this matter.

"Send someone to the Eastern Palace to keep an eye on it. I want to see how many of his followers are still in the court!"

"Yes."

Steward Li lowered his head and left the emperor's bedroom, and went straight to the East Palace.

At this moment, the prince ordered the ministers who had caused trouble to be escorted back to the palace, and he himself slumped in the chair with a pale face.

He underestimated the power of the magic powder, not knowing that once addicted, it would drive people crazy to the point of almost losing their rationality.

"Is there any other way to cure this magic powder?"

Doctor Hu shook his head. "If you want to cure the poison of Shenxian Powder, you need extremely strong willpower. The effect of medicine is minimal."

The prince pursed his lips, feeling extremely anxious.

"Zhu Liu, send someone to the others. No matter what method you use, don't let them come to the East Palace again!"

Zhu Liu's face turned pale. He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Your Highness, if they don't attend the court, they will be discovered anyway."

It is understandable if one or two do not appear, but if eight or ten do not appear, the result will be the same.

When the prince heard what Zhu Liu said, he felt even more upset.

Once this matter is exposed, he will completely lose the opportunity to compete for the throne.

Suddenly, he had an idea. "Doctor Hu, go and prepare some medicine that has similar symptoms to the Immortal Powder but is non-toxic. Find a way to put it in the tea of ​​the ministers in the court tomorrow. As long as everyone has the same symptoms, no one will know who took the Immortal Powder!"

"True or false, false or true, as long as I can buy time, I will definitely find a way to resolve this matter!"

If it can't be solved, then that's the only way to go!

Although Doctor Hu felt that this was a risky move, it was the only other option at the moment, so he had no choice but to do it.

The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion also learned the news, but Bai Youyou and others did not show any joy on their faces.

Xu Lingyun sighed: "I'm afraid half of the court officials have been poisoned by the immortals."

"How can someone who is in cahoots with the Crown Prince be a good person?" Lu Chen said in a cold tone, "There are many people in this court who flatter their superiors, take bribes, and pervert the law. It's good that this is the case. We can take this opportunity to get rid of these parasites!"

The old lady spoke slowly: "That being said, the court is in turmoil and there may be changes."

Everyone was silent, fully aware of the interests involved.

In all dynasties, forcing the emperor to abdicate and rebel was not uncommon. The prince now holds great power. If he is forced into a corner, he may do this.

Bai Youyou looked solemn, "It's better to be prepared. We should make arrangements in advance. If that day really comes, we will not be powerless to resist."

The old lady nodded and said, "Send your cousin's wife and the others out of the city quietly first, and Youyou should leave with them."

"Grandma, I won't leave. I have to look for my mother in the capital."

"We are here to find your mother. You and your cousin's wife will leave the city and look for your grandfather." The old lady said without hesitation, "You are not allowed to come back until the situation is settled!"

"Grandma..."

"Youyou, just listen to your grandmother."

After Lu Xuan finished speaking, Lu Chen also said: "You are powerless, and you can't help much if you stay. Don't let others take you away and use you as a hostage to hinder us."

He deliberately spoke more harshly, otherwise, given his cousin's personality, she would not leave.

"Grandmother, if I leave with my cousin and the others, it will definitely attract the attention of the Crown Prince and the Third Prince. Don't let it affect the safety of my cousin and my nephew."

Bai Youyou had her own considerations. "With Lu Qi by my side, safety is not a problem. Don't worry, I will protect myself and try not to cause any trouble for you."

"We don't think you're causing trouble." This girl is very opinionated, and she won't listen even if you tell her. The old lady sighed softly, "Forget it, you can stay."

The winter snow falls one after another.

The next day, the ministers in the court showed unusual symptoms one after another. The emperor was shocked and said, "Go and call the Imperial Hospital over!"

The prince pretended to be ignorant and requested a thorough investigation.

The third prince also stood up and said, "Father, I think there must be something fishy behind this. The most urgent thing is to investigate this matter thoroughly and find out the murderer behind it!"

He emphasized the word "murderer" and glanced in the direction of the prince with an ambiguous look.

The emperor was horrified when all the court officials were poisoned. He became even more suspicious. "Investigate, we must investigate. I want to see who is so bold as to poison people under my nose!"

People from the Imperial Hospital came hurriedly, but after a thorough examination, they all looked embarrassed.

The leading doctor said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, we are not very knowledgeable and have never seen this disease before. It is really difficult to determine what kind of poison caused it."

The emperor was furious and shouted, "Why should I keep you useless people? Where is Imperial Physician Pang? Go and call him over!"

Doctor Pang, who was on leave at home, saw the young eunuch in the palace and hurried to the palace with his medicine box on his back.

Doctor Pang came to the court and carefully examined the symptoms of the ministers. He frowned and felt strange in his heart. These symptoms seemed serious but also strange.

The prince pretended to be anxious, but in fact his heart was in his throat.

The third prince observed everyone's expressions calmly.

After Doctor Pang finished the examination, he had some guesses in his mind, but he knew that the matter was complicated and could not be discussed lightly.

"Your Majesty, although this disease is strange, I think it is a strange poison from southern Xinjiang. However, this poison is extremely rare, and I need to go back and look up ancient books to determine the solution."

The emperor looked gloomy and said, "You have three days to find a way to detoxify."

The prince breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the matter of the Immortal Powder had been dealt with for the time being.

But it didn't last long.

Doctor Hu said that even if the poison was resolved, the symptoms could not be completely eliminated within a month, so he had to be prepared for both scenarios within this month.

There were only a few people in the court who were not poisoned, and even Zhao Qingming was poisoned this time.

The emperor sat on the dragon throne, his sharp eyes scanning the crowd and finally landing on the prince.

He said in a cold tone: "Third brother, this matter is left to you to investigate. Make sure to find the murderer!"

The emperor was really angry this time. These people poisoned the ministers so easily. Would they poison him tomorrow?

The prince lowered his eyes, his heart beating fast.

The third prince glanced at him, suppressed the curve of his lips, and responded respectfully.

The fact that his father handed this matter over to him clearly showed that he was suspicious of the prince. As long as this matter was uncovered, the prince would be completely disliked by his father.

If the prince wants to survive, there is only one way.

snort!

The third prince sneered in his heart, with a sarcastic arc at the corner of his lips.

This time he fell into his hands, he wanted him to be neither alive nor dead!!
