A funny girl traveled through time to become a princess and dated a general
Chapter 35 The Prime Minister is doing bad things secretly, Sixue and Lingyan are planning to deal w
After the Prime Minister retired and returned home, he felt something was increasingly wrong. He thought that Ling Yan and Sixue came to see His Majesty together, which must mean something important or that his corruption had been discovered!
The prime minister felt more and more that something was wrong, so he immediately called the coachman to get on the carriage and hurried to the palace. He came back to the palace this time not to see the emperor, but to find the censor to ask for clarification!
"Oh no, oh no, the Prime Minister is here!" The attendant beside the Censor ran in again and said in a hurry. The Censor beside him also stood up in a hurry and said: "It's over, it's over, these two ruthless people are making me suffer from both sides!"
Before the Censor finished speaking, he asked, "How come the Prime Minister has time to come to my Censorate?" The Censor greeted him with a smile, but his heart was beating fast.
"Hmph, I feel something is increasingly wrong, so I've come to you to ask you something." The prime minister said indifferently with a straight face.
The Censor secretly thought to himself, "Could it be that the Prime Minister has discovered that General Ling and the princess are coming here? That's impossible! I hope not!"
The censor rolled his eyes, and hurriedly smiled and pretended to be stupid, saying, "Please sit down, Prime Minister. I am sorry for not welcoming you from far away. I hope you will forgive me. I wonder what brings you here?"
The Prime Minister glared at him and said straight to the point: "I want to ask you, did anyone come here today? I'm going to give you two examples, Lingyan or the princess. Did they come?"
The censor was stunned for a moment! He thought: "What should I do? I can't offend the people on both sides! I'll just play dumb!"
The Supervisory Censor pretended to be surprised and said, "Prime Minister, why do you say that? No one from the Censorate came today, and it is even more impossible for the General Ling and the Princess you mentioned to come here!"
The prime minister didn't believe his lies and sneered: "Hehe, do you think I'm a three-year-old child? Tell the truth, or don't blame me for being rude!"
A thin layer of sweat broke out on the censor's forehead. He rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Prime Minister, please understand. Even if I have the courage of heaven, I dare not deceive you."
The prime minister stared at him intently without saying a word. The censor was frightened by his gaze. After hesitating for a moment, he lowered his voice and said, "Prime Minister, to be honest, someone did come here today, but I cannot tell you who it was. But rest assured, Prime Minister, I did not tell you what you did!"
The Prime Minister's face darkened, "Are you threatening me?"
"I dare not, I am just following orders." The Supervisory Censor bowed his head and said. "Whose orders?" the Prime Minister asked.
The Censor kept his mouth shut. No matter how the Prime Minister asked, he refused to reveal a single word.
The prime minister had a frown on his face and a sharp look in his eyes. He held the censor's arm tightly and there was a hint of threat in his interrogation tone.
The Censor's face suddenly turned pale, with cold sweat on his forehead, but he kept his lips tightly closed, his eyes firm, and refused to reveal the truth.
Seeing this, the prime minister became more and more anxious. He knew that time was running out and he had to force out the truth as soon as possible.
He let go of the Censor's arm and patted his shoulder instead. His tone softened a little, but still revealed an irresistible majesty: "If you tell me, I will definitely save your life! But if you don't tell me, you and your family will have no way out! You make your choice! I'll give you time."
The Censor bit his lip, struggling internally. He knew that what the Prime Minister said was true, but he was also worried that telling the truth would lead to something bad happening. However, under the Prime Minister's repeated threats, his psychological defenses finally collapsed, and with trembling lips, he told the truth in detail.
The Censor said: "Prime Minister, you guessed right. Lingyan came here with the princess today, and they forced me to tell you whether I had committed corruption. I was really forced to do so, so I had to tell you! Prime Minister, please forgive me! I was also forced to do so!" The Censor begged desperately!
After hearing this, the Prime Minister's face became very solemn. He sighed deeply and secretly felt lucky that he had finally forced the truth out of him.
However, bad guys are bad guys after all, and they will always consider their own interests and goals!
In order to prevent his crimes from being discovered by more people and the emperor, the prime minister approached the censor step by step with a murderous look in his eyes and the knife he carried with him.
The Censor looked at the Prime Minister in horror and tried to retreat, but the Prime Minister pressed on without mercy.
The attendant beside him was frightened and ran to the outside of the court to ask for help. Suddenly, the prime minister raised his knife and stabbed the censor. There was a flash of knife light, and the censor screamed and fell to the ground. Blood gushed out of his wound, staining the ground red. The censor's body twitched, and his eyes were full of pain and despair.
The prime minister looked at the Censor lying on the ground and a cold smile appeared on his face, as if he had achieved his goal.
At this time, the attendant ran in with a group of guards to rescue the Censor, but he did not expect that the Censor had already been killed by the Prime Minister!
The prime minister looked at the attendant in front of him and said: "How could I forget that I have a servant like you? You are really hard to guard against!"
The attendant said: "If you dare to kill my majesty and General Lingyan, we will never let you go!" The prime minister laughed and said: "If you were killed by me today, would your majesty know about this? Even if Lingyan and Sixue told it, they are just words without any real evidence, and your majesty will definitely not believe it!"
Then the prime minister said to the guards: "If anyone of you dares to kill this servant for me today, you will be given an official position!" The guards looked at each other and hesitated again and again!
The attendant swore solemnly: "Dream on! The guards are all good men who pursue fairness and justice. They will not do this for your own selfish desires."
Unexpectedly, after the servant finished saying this, a sword pierced through his front body from behind, and he bled profusely, with large mouthfuls of blood gushing out of his mouth!
The servant turned around with great anger and looked at the guards. He pointed at them one by one and said while he still had a breath: "You, you, you, you disappoint me so much!" After saying that, the servant fell in a pool of blood.
The prime minister watched all this with satisfaction, and said to the guards sternly: "Anyone who dares to leak a word about what happened today will be killed without mercy!" The guards were so scared that they knelt on the ground and expressed their absolute loyalty. The prime minister said to the guards: "Clean this place up, leaving no traces or blood. Be sure to dispose of the bodies of the censor and the attendants in secret. Can you do it?"
The guards nodded in response and quickly took action to clean up the scene. The prime minister straightened his clothes and left the court as if nothing had happened.
On the second day, the emperor suddenly fell ill. The eunuch beside him anxiously sent someone to tell Sixue and Lingyan the news. After Lingyan and Sixue heard the news, they put down their work without hesitation and hurriedly got on the carriage to the palace. Sixue asked in confusion: "Why did the emperor suddenly fall ill at this time? Could it be the prime minister's fault?"
Ling Yan said: "It's not clear, but it's very possible! Let's go ask His Majesty what's going on!" Si Xue said: "Okay, I'll listen to you!"
After entering the palace, they ran all the way, through the corridors and gardens of the palace, and ran straight to the emperor's bedroom. Their figures swayed in the wind, as if racing against time. Lingyan's eyes revealed anxiety and worry, while Xuexue's face was full of tension and anxiety.
When they finally arrived at His Majesty's bedroom, they were already out of breath, but their eyes were firm and focused. They didn't care about resting and immediately walked into the hall to visit His Majesty. They saw that the bedroom was filled with a solemn atmosphere, and the imperial doctors in the palace were all standing in the hall.
The eunuch saw Sixue and Lingyan and said, "You are finally here. His Majesty was fine yesterday, but today, he suddenly fell ill for some reason, and..." The eunuch didn't dare to say anything more! Sixue asked anxiously, "Eunuch, what is going on?"
The eunuch said: "Zheng Chunhou, please talk to the princess!" Then the imperial physician named Zheng Chunhou came in, bowed, and said: "Your Majesty has been poisoned by a chronic poison. If this poison is not discovered early, it will quickly spread throughout the body. Fortunately, Your Majesty discovered it in time, and the poison was not too deep."
Si Xue asked: "Doctor, you said this is a chronic poison? Will it slowly spread throughout the body after taking one pill? Or will it slowly spread throughout the body after taking it every day?"
The imperial physician said: "It is the latter. This poison needs to be taken every day before it will slowly spread throughout the body. Fortunately, Your Majesty discovered it in time and it did not spread throughout the body!"
Si Xue asked: "What is the name of this poison? Is there an antidote?" The imperial physician said: "This poison is called the Soul-Taking Pill and it is extremely dangerous. If you don't find an antidote, Your Majesty will probably die of the poison in less than a month! We in Shiyun Country don't have this antidote, except..."
Si Xue asked anxiously: "Except for what, doctor, tell me!" The doctor said: "This medicine is only available in Rongqi country, but it is also extremely difficult to obtain, and the chance of finding it is very small!"
Sixue asked: "What is the name of that medicine?" The doctor said: "That medicine is called Resurrection Grass, which is extremely difficult to find!" Sixue asked again: "What are you giving Your Majesty now?"
The imperial physician said: "We are using some Fortune Pills to suppress the toxicity of the poison in your Majesty's body!"
Sixue said: "Then please give him the medicine every day! We will find the medicine as soon as possible! You can leave first!"
After Sixue finished speaking, the doctors left one by one. Sixue asked the eunuch again, "Eunuch, do you know what His Majesty eats every day? What did he eat to become like this?"
The eunuch recalled what happened in the past and said: "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with what you eat! It's just that the Prime Minister brings your Majesty's favorite soup every day for you to drink!"
Sixue and Lingyan looked at each other, a trace of doubt in their hearts. Could it be that the Prime Minister poisoned the soup?
Suddenly, His Majesty coughed a few times! He opened his eyes and said weakly: "I know it was the Prime Minister who did it. He and I were good friends when we were young. Please don't expose him. I already feel powerless. I never thought that the person next to me would stab me in the back!"
Si Xue said angrily: "Now that things have come to this, why are you still pretending to be a good person? Do you think that if you treat him so well, he won't want to kill you? Please, you are the emperor of a country, and you are my father. If he makes a mistake, you should punish him instead of indulging him. Your blind indulgence will only make him more unscrupulous. Do you understand that a single rat shit can mess up the whole bunch of porridge? You know who poisoned this better than any of us! Please think carefully and make a careful decision!"
After Sixue finished speaking, she strode out of the hall, and Lingyan followed her out!
In order to find out whether it was the prime minister who poisoned the food, Lingyan and Sixue decided to investigate the matter secretly. Sixue and Lingyan secretly collected some soup sent by the prime minister and took it to the poison masters for testing.
After half a day of research, the poison master told them that the soup did contain trace amounts of toxins. This discovery shocked Sixue and Lingyan. They didn't expect the prime minister to be so bold as to poison His Majesty.
Sixue and Lingyan are determined to expose the prime minister's conspiracy, so they start their plan. At the same time, they also step up their search for the whereabouts of the resurrection grass, hoping to save his majesty's life as soon as possible.
