Chapter 153: Being Bitten Back
If it weren't for the profound internal strength of Prince Rui and Zhai Yun, they would have died at this moment. When the imperial physician heard Zhai Yun's roar, he was so scared that he rolled and crawled.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am powerless to do anything about this poison!" The imperial physician cried to Emperor Xing'an.
Xuanyuan Che brought warriors to challenge Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi, and Feng Chenyi and Zhai Yun were poisoned. The palace was heavily guarded, and Emperor Xing'an would be embarrassed if such a thing happened.
He ordered, "Investigate! Dig deep underground to find the person who poisoned me. How dare you cause trouble under my nose? Your crime is unforgivable!"
At this moment, blood flowed from the corners of Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi's mouths again. Xuanyuan Che lost his composure and squatted down to feel Feng Chenyi's pulse. "The poison hasn't yet reached the lungs. If the poison can be expelled, there's still a chance."
At this moment, Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi could no longer use their internal energy. They were both poisoned, and using their internal energy would only spread the poison.
Zhai Yun supported Feng Chenyi with difficulty. Seeing Feng Chenyi's increasingly ugly face, she ordered, "Go find some soap. The more the better. Hurry!"
The imperial physician standing by went away with weak legs.
The soap liquid was brought over quickly. Zhai Yun fed it to Feng Chenyi and drank some herself. Soon, due to nausea, both Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi vomited.
Everyone was worried. This poison was extremely toxic. Would Guard Zhai's method really work?
Because of the blood, Zhai Yun was not actually poisoned, but Feng Chenyi was indeed poisoned, and there was indeed poison in the wine pot. She and Feng Chenyi knew it a long time ago.
It was only because the Queen was so aggressive that Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi chose to drink the poisoned wine. As early as when they drank it, Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi had already thought of a countermeasure.
The soapy liquid can wash the stomach and make Feng Chenyi vomit out the poisonous wine he drank, but the remaining poison in the body still needs to be treated.
Zhai Yun vomited blood because she injured herself by using her internal energy, and the pain was real.
Feng Chenyi and Zhai Yun vomited for a while, and Xuanyuan Che took Feng Chenyi's pulse again and found that Feng Chenyi's pulse seemed much more stable. Xuanyuan Che hesitated.
Emperor Xing'an had already ordered the imperial physician to take Feng Chenyi's pulse. The physician beamed with joy after feeling his pulse and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Prince Rui's body has been cleared of most of the poison. The remaining poison only needs a few more days of recuperation."
After hearing this, Emperor Xing'an relaxed his tense nerves. The Queen standing beside him still looked extremely unhappy, although she was also worried and scared when she first heard that Feng Chenyi and Zhai Yun were poisoned.
But then she thought, she should be happy that Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi were dead. But when she heard that the poison in Feng Chenyi and Zhai Yun's bodies had been cured, the queen's face turned extremely ugly.
Xuanyuan Che looked at Zhai Yun and stretched out his hand to take her pulse, but Zhai Yun quickly retracted her hand.
Everyone only paid attention to the noble Prince Rui and was worried about whether he was okay. Zhai Yun could have gotten away with it, but Xuanyuan Che happened to notice Zhai Yun at this time.
The sharp-eyed prince also noticed this scene and ordered the imperial physician with concern: "Check on Guard Zhai as well."
Zhai Yun was not poisoned, she hurt herself, and the truth was revealed after taking her pulse. Zhai Yun felt a little guilty and was thinking about what appropriate reason to refuse.
Feng Chenyi suddenly hugged Zhai Yun and said, "I am not feeling well. Please help me go back."
Feng Chenyi was the prince, and when he said he was feeling unwell, Lord Lu immediately became nervous, "Since your prince is feeling unwell, go back and rest!"
Although Xuanyuan Che was unwilling in his heart, he had to give up temporarily. If he continued to hold on to a guard, he would lose his status as an emperor.
Just as Zhai Yun helped Feng Chenyi up and was about to leave, a guard came to report: "Your Majesty, the person who poisoned him has been found."
It has to be said that these guards in the palace are still somewhat useful. Emperor Xing'an was very angry when he heard this. He wanted to see who would cause trouble in such an important occasion.
Emperor Xing'an returned to his seat angrily and ordered with a cold face: "Bring him up!"
Xuanyuan Che, the Crown Prince and the Queen also returned to their seats, and the other ministers did not dare to stay for a moment.
Feng Chenyi covered his chest with his hands while Zhai Yun helped him sit down. He also wanted to see who wanted to kill him and Zhai Yun.
The guard brought up a eunuch. Zhai Yun felt that this eunuch looked familiar. After thinking carefully, she realized that she had taught him a lesson in front of the fifth prince during the day.
He is the Fifth Prince's man, and the Fifth Prince is the Queen's most beloved youngest son. Emperor Xing'an also dotes on this son very much. Zhai Yun is not stupid, she just watches the show.
Under Emperor Xing'an's stern questioning, the guards actually pointed the finger at Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi. "Prince Rui ordered us to do this. He said that as long as he was poisoned, he wouldn't have to participate in the competition!"
Zhai Yun didn't expect that the Fifth Prince was so smart that he could take advantage of the situation and frame Zhai Yun for two crimes.
Emperor Xing'an was already angry, and now he was even more furious when he heard the guard say that. He looked at Feng Chenyi with murderous eyes and asked, "Is what he said true?"
Emperor Xing'an questioned her. Zhai Yun wanted to speak up for Feng Chenyi, but Feng Chenyi stopped her and said, "Father, everyone entering the palace is searched. Do you think I have the ability to hide the poison on my body?"
Zhai Yun was also searched when he entered the palace. After being emperor for a long time, others were worried about his position, so all people entering the palace were strictly checked!
Emperor Xing'an's anger subsided a bit when he heard Feng Chenyi's words, but his eyes grew suspicious. Who else could have lost if not Prince Rui? Who would be so foolish as to frame him?
Emperor Xing'an just glanced at the eunuch kneeling on the ground, and the eunuch immediately trembled with fear. Emperor Xing'an had been in that position for so many years, so he did have some ability to judge people.
The eunuch was clearly guilty of his crime, so Emperor Xing'an didn't waste any words and directly ordered the guards: "Disable one of his hands."
When the eunuch heard that his hand was going to be crippled, he was so frightened that he immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, I am innocent. I am telling the truth. It was Prince Rui who ordered this. Prince Rui already knew the antidote, so he staged this himself!"
When Emperor Xing'an heard this, suspicion filled his heart and he looked at Feng Chenyi again. Feng Chenyi's face was still pale. Seeing the doubt in Emperor Xing'an's eyes, he was heartbroken again: "Father, what kind of poison is this poison? If I'm not careful, it will kill me. How could I joke with my own life?"
Emperor Xing'an no longer trusted anyone. The eunuch said that it was Feng Chenyi who ordered it. Feng Chenyi didn't want to participate in the competition, so he came up with this trick. Although it was a bit risky, he could still get away with it completely.
Besides, it is impossible for this eunuch to frame him for no reason.
"Your Majesty, this young eunuch has already testified against Prince Rui. If he is tortured further, he may confess. I also think what this young eunuch said makes sense. Prince Rui was poisoned.
