Chapter 339 Something is wrong
Fu Yifan strode in with a gust of cold wind.
"Qinglong, what did you say?"
Emperor Meiji stood up exhausted, staggering as if he was about to faint at any moment.
"Your Majesty, you have just recovered. Please lie down quickly."
The Queen hurriedly stopped him from moving violently and asked the imperial physician to be on standby. The Emperor had fainted several times and could not bear such a blow.
"It's okay. I know my own body. Qinglong, please talk about the Third Prince first."
"I have found the eunuch who poisoned the emperor. He worked in the imperial kitchen, responsible for the emperor's three meals a day. However, he was already dead when he was discovered. We found a banknote with the Third Prince's private seal in his residence."
Then, Fu Yifan presented the silver bills and a mask.
Eunuch Wu took it with trembling hands, "Your Majesty, please look!"
"The mask is found in the third prince's secret room, and the mark of the mad demon is found."
Emperor Meiji's pale face became increasingly darker, and the imperial physician knelt beside him, not daring to breathe. How could he survive after hearing such a secret from the royal family?
"We found the poison earlier at the Third Prince's place, and later discovered a secret room in his mansion where a large number of these masks were stored."
"It has been proven that the dozens of people hiding under the Imperial Study are the Mad Demon Organization hidden in the palace by the Third Prince."
His cold voice made the final decision, "In addition, we also found documents and records that were lost from the homes of ten officials. The real culprit behind this was the Third Prince."
"Even the Marquis of Xuanping was assassinated by a mad demon."
"Pfft~"
Emperor Meiji spat out a mouthful of black blood.
"Your Majesty!"
He raised his hand to stop people from approaching him and walked slowly to Concubine Jing.
The hideous mask was thrown on her face. "Princess Jing, tell me, are you aware of this matter?"
"Your Majesty, I was unaware of this, and the prince would certainly not do such a treasonous thing. I beg Your Majesty to investigate."
Concubine Jing was sweating profusely at this moment. The emperor's favor allowed her to act recklessly in the palace, but the emperor's doubts could cost her entire family the lives.
At this moment, all the grief over her son's death turned into horror. Her brother held military power and was already feared by the emperor. So when the emperor asked her this, did he intend to take action against his own family?
Emperor Meiji stood up and kicked her to the ground. "Now that the evidence is irrefutable, you are still making excuses for that evil creature. He must be dead. Otherwise, I... I... cough cough cough!"
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
The imperial physician hurriedly gave Emperor Meiji a pill and said worriedly, "Your Majesty, you are not easily agitated right now."
"Get out of here too!"
"Good, very good! My son is hoping for my death and is even messing around in the Imperial Study. If I don't do what he wants, will he kill me quietly? Will he take the throne?"
"Come here, demote the Third Prince to a commoner, remove him from the family tree and forbid him from burial, and kill everyone in the Third Prince's mansion."
"Yes."
"Concubine Jing failed to raise her son properly, so she was demoted to a commoner and expelled from the palace."
When the emperor is angry, corpses will float everywhere.
Concubine Jing lowered her head but did not even dare to beg for mercy. The emperor did not punish her brother now, he must still be thinking about the relationship between husband and wife. Although she was driven out of the palace now, as long as her brother could make great military achievements in the future, she would have no worries about not being able to return to the position of concubine.
Everyone on the field knelt on the ground and dared not say anything, except Qinglong who stood opposite.
"Your Majesty, please take care of your health. Now that the traitor has been executed, it must be made public as soon as possible to calm the unrest in the court."
The emperor closed his eyes, took a deep breath and replied, "Qinglong is absolutely right. I hope you will take care of the affairs of the court during this period."
"I should do my best."
Qinglong nodded to him and left the emperor's bedroom without asking for any permission.
"Get out, all of you, get out!"
The imperial physician looked at the queen cautiously. The queen shook her head at him. The two of them bowed and slowly left the hall.
After the room became quiet, Emperor Meiji opened his eyes and angrily knocked the incense burner on the bedside to the ground with a palm.
"Assholes, none of them take me seriously."
Eunuch Wu wailed, "Your Majesty, please calm down! Please take care of your holy body!"
Emperor Meiji roared in rage, "Why does Qinglong ignore me? I want him dead, and all four of his guards deserve to die."
Anger made the paleness on his face fade away, turning it into a shiny black and red.
"Your Majesty, please be careful with your words!"
Eunuch Wu wanted to step forward and cover his mouth. The four imperial guards had eyes and ears everywhere. If they heard it, the emperor would be in great trouble.
Emperor Meiji was furious, "Why, now you look down on me too?"
Eunuch Wu knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I swear I never had such thoughts. Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
This was not the first time that His Majesty was furious with the Four Imperial Guards. He really wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible.
But the four great guards have helped His Majesty a lot. It is with them that the court is stabilized. Is His Majesty thinking this way...
He didn't dare to speak, didn't dare to ask, and even less dared to tell on others.
He is just a small character trying to make a living in the deep palace, and being able to survive is already the limit.
After venting for a while, Emperor Meiji finally felt the anger in his heart dissipate.
"Your Majesty, take medicine."
After a while, Emperor Meiji finally regained his composure.
"What do you think about the Third Prince's affairs?"
Eunuch Wu lowered his head in fear. "Your Majesty, please don't make fun of me. How dare I discuss the affairs of the royal court?"
Emperor Meiji laughed and scolded, "You old bastard, do you think I don't know that you have a lot on your mind, but you just keep it all in your heart?"
"Your Majesty, you are wronged! This old slave has no other thoughts except serving Your Majesty."
Emperor Meiji took a deep breath, waved his hand and said to him, "Go down!"
"Yes, I am waiting outside. If Your Majesty needs anything, please call me."
Eunuch Wu looked at him deeply and quietly retreated.
After no one else was in the room, Emperor Meiji stood up, and soon a dark shadow appeared behind him.
"Your Majesty."
"Deal with this matter cleanly and don't let Qinglong find out."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely handle this matter thoroughly."
"Well, let's get down!"
The shadow disappeared and Emperor Meiji lay back on the bed.
He didn't know that at this moment Eunuch Wu was covering his mouth in shock. Listening to the emperor's words, this matter was extremely terrifying when you think about it carefully!
On the other hand, Qin Miaoxi and the other three gathered together.
Qin Miaoxi bowed to the three of them gratefully, "Big Brother, you've worked hard this time. If it weren't for the help from you, we wouldn't have figured out that it was the Third Prince who was behind this."
Fu Yifan and the other two quickly helped her up. "What are you talking about, little junior sister? This is our responsibility. How can we put all the pressure on you just because you are in Jingzhao?"
Xie Baiyan nodded and replied, "That's right. Now that the crisis in the palace has been resolved, we can rest assured for the time being. Once His Majesty recovers, everything will return to normal."
Xia Liqian: "That's right, Junior Sister, you can take a rest for a while! We will take care of the rest."
Qin Miaoxi stared at them in a daze, something was wrong...
