Emperor Taihe then relaxed slightly: "It's not that there was an incident at the border, but that something unexpected happened with Luo Zheng and the miracle doctor."

The princess' heart instantly settled. She frowned and asked curiously, "Could it be that Luo Zheng dared to harbor evil intentions?"

Emperor Taihe sighed: "After he found the miracle doctor, he was attacked by someone. In order to protect the miracle doctor, he was seriously injured and almost died.

This time, I'm afraid it wasn't him harboring evil intentions, but someone else was hiding behind the scenes, trying to stop the genius doctor from entering the capital and take the opportunity to get rid of Luo Zheng."

The princess's expression changed drastically, and a raging rage instantly ignited in her heart: "Then this person truly deserves to die! My royal brother, do you know who this person is? Didn't that palace maid say that she was coerced by Luo Zheng? Why not ask her!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Taihe's face darkened again. "Just now, when Wang Zhi was interrogating her, she suddenly died! I've already asked him to find a coroner to investigate and find out the cause of death of that lowly maid!"

The eldest princess's expression also turned extremely grim. "Who on earth is this person? How could he kill someone in the Forbidden Palace?"

If the other party has such ability, wouldn't it be easy to kill her?

Emperor Taihe naturally thought of this as well. He curled his lips and sneered, "I want to know too!"

The murderous intent around him seemed to become tangible, which frightened the eldest princess.

She did not leave, but stayed and waited for the results of the autopsy.

It was almost noon when Wang Zhi came back to report.

Before he could speak, Emperor Taihe asked, "Tell me, what did you find out? How did she die?"

Wang Zhi knelt on the ground, his face pale and covered in cold sweat. "Your Majesty, after a careful examination, the coroner said...said there were worms in her heart. They suspect...suspected it was a Gu worm from Southern Xinjiang..."

"A worm in her heart? Or a Southern Xinjiang Gu worm?" Emperor Taihe was horrified. "Did you see what the worm looked like? Did you really find it in her heart?"

Wang Zhi gritted his teeth and nodded, not daring to wipe the sweat from his forehead. He continued, "I watched the entire process. The coroner did indeed find the strange insect inside the palace maid's heart after cutting it open. The palace maid's heart also showed signs of being eaten by the strange insect."

At this moment, his mind was filled with that scene, which made him terrified and scared!

That palace maid was actually infected with a poisonous insect!

In order to interrogate her, he even contacted the palace maid many times!

If that poisonous insect had suddenly burrowed into his body and gnawed at his heart, he would be the one lying there with his eyes open, being cut open by the coroner!

Not only Wang Zhi felt scared, but Emperor Taihe also felt scared!

He and Concubine Jiang had previously met the palace maid in person and interrogated her!

This person was actually infected with the southern border poisonous insect and was killed without anyone noticing.

When exactly was she infected with the poisonous insect?

Was it before he was arrested or after he was arrested?

The more Emperor Taihe thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. This heavily guarded imperial palace had actually had poisonous insects from southern Xinjiang sneak into it!

How many such poisonous insects are there in the palace?

How many more people have been poisoned?

Concubine Jiang has been unable to get pregnant, and there has been no good news from the other women in the harem. Could it be because of the poisonous insect?

The more Emperor Taihe thought about it, the more uneasy he became. He immediately ordered the imperial physician to be summoned to take his pulse carefully.

The most skilled doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau were all called in. They were all horrified to learn that a palace maid had been infected with a poisonous insect from southern Xinjiang and had suddenly died during interrogation.

They guessed the purpose of Emperor Taihe's summons and felt extremely embarrassed at this moment.

They had only heard of the southern Xinjiang poisonous insects, but had never actually come into contact with them, and they did not believe that such insects really existed in the world.

Therefore, none of them knew the habits of the poisonous insects, let alone how to determine whether they were poisoned.

Now that Emperor Taihe has summoned them, what else can they do?

It is said that Emperor Taihe might have been poisoned?

This is absolutely not possible!

These imperial physicians are supposed to check the pulses of the emperor, empress, and concubines on time. They have never discovered any poisoning before. Now they say that Emperor Taihe might have been poisoned. Isn't that an admission that they are too incompetent and are just a bunch of quacks?
