Chapter 145 You Want My Life
Murong Xuanyi's tone was filled with worry. He slowly knelt down and said, "Mother, your father's body is so unwell. As princes, how can we feel at ease? I beg your father to let the imperial doctors examine him carefully to ensure his health."
The Imperial Concubine glanced at Queen Wang meaningfully and quietly retreated behind the crowd.
The other underage princes knelt on the ground with tears in their eyes and pleaded in sobs, "Father, please take care of your health and stay healthy." They had no other thoughts in their hearts but to regard Emperor Kang Ren as their dearest father and hoped that their father would be safe and sound.
Emperor Kangren was touched when he saw this. Although the third prince was unfilial, he was comforted by the pure filial piety of the majority of the princes. He raised his hand slightly and signaled the princes to stand up.
"It's rare to see your filial piety. I am deeply comforted." His voice was a little hoarse, revealing his fatigue.
Queen Wang knew that she could not stop him now, so she said gently, "Doctor Hu, you should examine the emperor immediately to find out the reason."
Seeing this, Murong Xuanyi curled up his lips into an elusive smile and waited for Doctor Hu to take the emperor's pulse carefully.
After a while, Doctor Hu said slowly: "The emperor was angry for a while, which caused his heart fire to be too strong. It's not serious. Just take care of yourself and rest more, and you will recover."
Murong Xuanyi said to Doctor Xiao calmly, "Doctor Xiao, please examine my father as well."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of Queen Wang and Imperial Physician Hu suddenly changed drastically. Queen Wang hurriedly said, "The Emperor's pulse has always been taken by Imperial Physician Hu. Imperial Physician Hu knows the Emperor's physical condition best."
Murong Xuanyi smiled slightly and responded, "One more person to look after us means one more guarantee. Mother, don't you agree?"
Emperor Kang Ren looked at his filial and thoughtful son, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He looked at Murong Xuanyi with satisfaction, and said in a weak but powerful voice: "Good Xuanyi, I am lucky to have such a good son like you."
Although Queen Wang was unhappy, she had no choice but to nod in agreement. Doctor Xiao stepped forward and gently placed his hands on Emperor Kang Ren's wrists, his expression focused and solemn. He gradually became serious, frowning.
After a while, Doctor Xiao stood up and reported to Murong Xuanyi and Queen Wang: "Your Highness, Your Majesty, the Emperor's pulse does show that his heart fire is too strong, but in addition, I also noticed that the Emperor seems to have a hidden illness."
"Hidden illness? What hidden illness?" Murong Xuanyi's eyes turned cold and he asked Doctor Xiao.
Doctor Xiao bowed and trembled as he said, "Your Highness, there is a faint undercurrent in the emperor's pulse, as if... as if he is poisoned. And it has been lurking for a long time. If it weren't for the anger today, I'm afraid it would be difficult to detect."
As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly fell silent, and even the air seemed to freeze. Queen Wang's face turned pale in an instant.
"Poisoned?!" Murong Xuanyi's voice trembled with disbelief. He took a step forward and stared at Doctor Xiao. "Are you serious? If you lied, do you know the consequences?"
Doctor Xiao's face was solemn, and he confirmed again: "I have been practicing medicine for many years, and I would never dare to speak nonsense about such a pulse. The poison that the emperor was poisoned with should be a chronic toxin, mercury, which is not easy to detect on weekdays, but will show up when the emotions are intense."
Murong Xuanyi clenched his fists tightly, trying to suppress the anger and shock in his heart: "Who is it? Who is so cruel? How could he do such a cruel thing to my father!" His voice echoed in the empty hall.
Emperor Kang Ren suddenly felt a chill rising from the bottom of his heart. He frowned and scanned the people in the hall with a sharp gaze. This sudden news was like a bolt from the blue, and he couldn't help but have deep doubts about the people around him.
"Poisoned?" His deep voice echoed in the empty hall, and every word seemed to hit everyone's heart like a heavy hammer. "Who is so bold as to do such a poison to me?"
Murong Xuanyi's eyes turned cold, and he looked at Doctor Hu and said, "Doctor Hu, are you hiding something? Why didn't you discover the hidden illness in my father's body before?"
Doctor Hu was pale at this moment, he knelt down hurriedly, and kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Highness, please calm down. I am not a good doctor, and I failed to detect the emperor's illness in time. It is really my fault. But my loyalty to the emperor is evident to all, and I have no intention of hiding anything!"
"My medical skills are not good? As the chief physician, how dare you say that my medical skills are not good?" Murong Xuanyi's brows revealed obvious disbelief and doubt.
Murong Xuanyi looked at Doctor Hu and said coldly, "Come here, go to the doctor's office to get Doctor Hu's medical records. I want to personally review them. Also, seal off the palace immediately and no one is allowed to enter or leave until the truth is revealed."
At his command, the atmosphere in the palace instantly became extremely tense. The guards acted quickly and firmly guarded the entrance and exit of the palace, while Fuquan led several trusted eunuchs to the Imperial Hospital in a hurry. Doctor Hu knelt on the ground, his body trembling slightly, he knew that he could not escape.
Prince Rui glanced at Murong Xuanyi and thought that he had underestimated him. He fought back so quickly, and it was obvious that his father was very dependent on him. If the princes came forward at this time, it would definitely make his father suspicious. He glanced at the Royal Concubine, who shook her head slightly at him, signaling him to calm down.
Soon, Fuquan hurried back with Doctor Hu's medical records and presented them to Murong Xuanyi with both hands. Murong Xuanyi flipped through them quickly, his brows sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed, obviously looking for clues.
Murong Xuanyi's eyes fell on that page of records. The amount of cinnabar used was much larger than what was needed for conventional treatment, and his doubts grew. "Cinnabar, although it is a medicinal material, an overdose can cause chronic poisoning. Doctor Hu, how do you explain this?" His voice was deep and powerful, and every word revealed an unquestionable majesty.
Doctor Hu had sweat dripping down his forehead as he answered in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, this cinnabar is indeed used to refine elixirs for the Emperor to regulate his body. I would never dare to be negligent in the slightest." He tried to explain, but the panic in his voice could no longer be concealed.
Murong Xuanyi sneered and slammed the medical records on the table, shocking everyone in the hall. "Regulating the dragon's body? I think you are trying to murder the emperor! The cinnabar poison accumulates over time. If it weren't for you secretly doing something wrong, how could the emperor be in this situation?" His words were like a cold blade, piercing people's hearts.
Upon hearing this, Doctor Hu turned pale. He gritted his teeth and finally told the truth: "Your Highness, everything I did was in accordance with the Queen's order."
As soon as these words were spoken, Queen Wang's body shook slightly involuntarily, obviously touched by Murong Xuanyi's questioning and Doctor Hu's answer.
Murong Xuanyi stared at Queen Wang for a moment and said, "Mother, why did you give father the cinnabar poison? Do you know that if cinnabar is taken for a long time, it will lead to chronic self-destruction?
Upon hearing this, Queen Wang's face instantly turned livid. She stood up abruptly, her eyes wide open, glaring at Murong Xuanyi, her voice filled with disbelief and anger: "Xuanyi, how could you frame me like this? I am loyal to the Emperor, how could I do such a treasonous thing!"
She turned to face Emperor Kang Ren, tears in her eyes, her voice choked with sobs: "Your Majesty, I am only concerned about your health. The elixirs I made are all from famous doctors, and they are designed to prolong your life. I have no intention of harming you. Xuan Yi is young and impulsive, so I hope your Majesty will understand."
The Imperial Concubine took a few steps forward towards Emperor Kang Ren and said softly, "Empress, the Emperor is in his prime and in good health. Why does he need these pills to recuperate? What's more, the poison of cinnabar has been known to everyone since ancient times. How can it be easily used on the Emperor?" The Imperial Concubine's words were gentle but sharp. She glanced at Queen Wang from time to time, and a barely perceptible sneer flashed in her eyes.
Emperor Kang Ren frowned after hearing this. He scanned the crowd with doubts and uneasiness in his heart. Then he looked at Queen Wang and said coldly: "You... I treated you well? Why did you do this? I think I treated you well, but you want to kill me." His voice trembled slightly, revealing unspeakable pain and disappointment.
Queen Wang's face turned pale as paper in an instant. She trembled and tried to speak, but found that her voice seemed to be strangled and she could not make a sound. She knew that she could not hide it any longer, so she could only lower her head helplessly and let the tears slide down her face.
At this time, the atmosphere in the hall was extremely tense, and everyone held their breath, fearing that they would become the next suspect. The Imperial Concubine also had a solemn expression, as she knew that this matter involved a lot of people, and that if she was not careful, she would get into trouble.
Murong Xuanyi stood up, his eyes blazing as he scanned the entire room. "From today on, all personnel in the Imperial Hospital must be investigated, and there must be no mistakes. As for Doctor Hu, he will be taken to the Heavenly Prison first, and will be dealt with after the truth is revealed." His words were resolute and left no room for doubt.
"Your Highness, please spare me! Your Majesty, please spare me!"
"Empress, save me...Empress, save me..."
"My Lady Imperial Concubine, save me..."
