Transmigrating to a Female-Dominated World: Pampering My Little Husband

Actually, he wanted to ask His Majesty directly whether it was still possible to save him.

Physician Chen wiped the sweat from his brow and took a few breaths.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the poison is extremely potent and has gradually seeped into the internal organs... We have done everything in our power..."

I fear it will happen in the next couple of days... Please... Please forgive me, Your Majesty..."

All the imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Academy have tried various methods.

No way to neutralize the poison can be found...

Shangguan Shuofeng's body went limp instantly, his chest heaving violently.

He was extremely agitated, and his fingers trembled uncontrollably.

He murmured, "No...no...no, no."

He immediately sat up, grabbed Physician Chen by the collar, and roared at the top of his lungs.

"How dare you, you dog slave, curse His Majesty!"

Are all of you imperial physicians useless?

He was just looking for someone to vent his emotions, and Physician Chen was clearly the best choice.

Physician Chen was quite old, and he couldn't withstand Shangguan Shuofeng's shoving.

Coupled with the tension and fear of the past few days, she now felt dizzy.

He collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.

Shangguan Shuofeng paced back and forth, his mind racing. If His Majesty were to pass away, he would be utterly useless!

No, he must be the most honored queen of Fenglin.

As his eyes darted around, he gradually calmed his breathing and turned to look at Physician Chen, who was slumped on the ground.

He said in a deep voice, "Imperial Physician Chen, I don't care what method you use, you must do your best to treat him."

We must ensure that His Majesty can hold on for as long as possible.

"Do not let any word get out that His Majesty is critically ill! If anything goes wrong, you'll lose your head!"

He must do his best to buy time, while His Majesty is still alive, and ensure his future security.

Helpless, Physician Chen could only shakily rise and respond.

However, he was already exhausted!

Shangguan Shuofeng then tidied himself up and, supported by Granny Jin, arrived at the main hall.

"Your Majesty, we are your humble servants!"

"This old minister greets Your Majesty!"

Shangguan Shuofeng, with an air of dignity, sat on a high seat and received the ministers.

"Please rise, esteemed sirs!"

"May I ask what brings you all here?"

The first to speak was Grand Tutor Jiang, who was also greatly surprised to learn of the assassination attempt on His Majesty.

They sent someone to find out what happened and immediately sent the message to the Prince of Jin.

The people in the court are now in a state of panic, and it is imperative to ensure that the capital does not descend into chaos before the Prince of Jin returns to the capital.

This also prevents other people with ulterior motives from taking advantage of the chaos to rebel.

"Your Majesty, we have come to inquire about Your Majesty's health."

"Your Majesty is awake now!"

Shangguan Shuofeng gently turned the Buddhist prayer beads in his hand and said in a calm voice.

"Gentlemen, you are all worried. His Majesty was assassinated, and the hidden weapon was poisoned."

His Majesty has been poisoned and remains unconscious. The Imperial Medical Academy is currently doing everything in its power to treat him.

The ministers below exchanged bewildered glances, their expressions varied.

At this moment, Qian Pei, the Minister of War, stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty is currently unwell, and the country cannot be without a ruler for even a day."

"Let's first choose a Crown Princess to oversee the country. Which princess does the Queen and Emperor think is suitable?"

As soon as it was dawn, everyone's eyes turned to Shangguan Shuofeng.

Shangguan Shuofeng was slightly taken aback, and after a moment of contemplation, he said.

"The selection of the Crown Princess... I am a member of the inner palace, how can I participate in court affairs?"

This Crown Princess is the foundation of my Fenglin Kingdom, and we must be extremely cautious in our dealings with her.

When His Majesty was lucid, he had no interest in any of the princesses.

If I were to speak carelessly, and His Majesty were to awaken, wouldn't that be my fault?

Grand Secretary Li cleared his throat a few times and said, "Your Majesty is overthinking it. His Majesty has been unconscious for four days and has not attended court."

The situation in Kyoto has caused considerable panic, and the best way to appease the people is to elect a crown prince.

If His Majesty awakens, he will certainly not blame the Empress!

Shangguan Shuofeng was at a loss for words.

He was asked to choose a crown princess... none of them were his daughters, and he didn't want to choose any of them.

The ministers below then began a heated discussion!

"Yes...yes, the Queen is His Majesty's sovereign, and the Queen of my Fenglin Kingdom should share His Majesty's burdens."

"If Your Majesty finds it difficult to make a decision, we, your subjects, may also make recommendations."

Your Majesty, I believe that the Prince of Qi possesses both virtue and talent, and as the eldest daughter of the Emperor, she is rightfully entitled to oversee the state.

"Alas, Minister Ji is mistaken. Although King Qi is virtuous and talented..."

But how can one work hard for a long time when one's health is not good?

Your humble servant believes that the King of Qi is inappropriate. I think it would be better to hasten the return of the Prince of Zhaojin to the capital!

"Lord Cui is right, I also think that Prince Jin is the most suitable!"

"Alas... Prince Zhaojin is returning to the capital, and we don't know when that will happen. The fourth princess is almost an adult now."

Moreover, he has been studying under the Grand Tutor, and His Majesty often praises him; isn't he the best candidate?

Grand Tutor Jiang frowned and said, "This old minister thinks it is not advisable. Although the Fourth Princess is intelligent, she has been studying under the Grand Tutor."

But having never participated in government affairs and knowing nothing of the people's livelihood, how could he possibly oversee the country?

"This old minister believes that the eldest princess is the most suitable!"

"Alas, Grand Tutor Jiang... the First Princess is unwell, so the Fourth Princess would be more suitable. I believe that one can learn from any..."

"I believe..."

For a moment, the officials were arguing, while Shangguan Shuofeng sat on the high seat.

He gripped the handrail tightly, his face grim, as if he were just a decoration.

He then said, "Gentlemen, if you'd like to continue arguing back here, I'd better leave now!"

Seeing that Shangguan Shuofeng's expression had changed, everyone stopped talking and said in unison, "Your Majesty, please calm your anger!"

Shangguan Shuofeng exhaled a breath of turbid air and said in a deep voice, "I will consider the matter of the Crown Princess myself, and put it aside for now."

Now, all I can think about is Your Majesty's speedy recovery and capturing the assassin!

"Can the Minister of Justice find out the assassin's whereabouts?"

They first changed the subject, asking about clues regarding the assassin.

The Minister of Justice immediately spoke up, “Your Majesty…I have already searched the entire Lishan Mountain.”

However, they found something: to the northeast, there were several corpses that had been completely gnawed by wild animals.

Scattered around the corpses were some black garments, and three tokens were found, each engraved with the characters "Murong".

Hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically, and they frowned in deep thought. The Murong family?

"I dare to suspect that Your Majesty's assassination attempt must be related to the Murong family."

Shangguan Shuofeng's eyes widened, and he suddenly stood up after slapping the armrest.

"Really? Have you investigated this thoroughly?"

The Minister of Justice knelt down with a thud, "Your subject dares not lie!"

The entire Mount Li was searched and cleared by the Imperial Guards several times.

To ensure absolute safety, it's highly suspicious that the Murong family's token would appear in the mountains by such a coincidence.

Shangguan Shuofeng could hardly contain his joy, but his expression remained cold.

He said in a deep voice, "Send men to search the Murong residence."

The Imperial Noble Prince Murong Che was also imprisoned and interrogated!

If it is found that the Murong family was indeed audacious enough to assassinate His Majesty!

"Immediately imprison the entire Murong family in the Heavenly Prison!"

The Murong family... I never thought you'd end up like this!
