Quick, I don't want to be in love anymore

Chapter 293: Love in the Sadistic Story (40)

"The Prime Minister has always been honest and upright, and loves the people like his own children. How could he do such a thing as collaborating with the enemy and committing treason?"

"The Prime Minister is a good official. He would definitely not do such a thing!"

"The Prime Minister must have been framed by a villain! I just hope the Emperor can get to the bottom of this and clear the Prime Minister's name!"

"We have to find a way to save him! We can't let the good officials down! Otherwise, who will be willing to care about us in the future?"

The vast majority of people scoffed at the news, some were even furious, and gathered together to discuss it.

Shen Huaichuan hid in the dark and took it all in.

While feeling anxious about the Prime Minister's Mansion, he couldn't help but feel relieved. He was relieved that his father's efforts had not been in vain, and that the people he protected were not such heartless and ungrateful people who would kick someone when he was down.

After sending away the people who were escorting him, he turned and walked towards General Liu's residence. Now the only person he could trust was his master...

"Your Majesty, I personally made you some soup. Would you like to try it?"

The woman with a charming smile handed a bowl of soup to Zhou Chengyun.

Zhou Chengyun obediently held her soft hand, tilted his head back and drank it all, with a smile on his face.

He didn't seem to notice the strange light in the woman's eyes and the slightly tense expression...

"Your Majesty! Someone, call the imperial physician!"

Li Zhu felt a little strange when he heard that there was no order to change the tea for a long time. He gritted his teeth and thought for a while before deciding to push the door open.

He thought that if he disturbed the emperor, the worst that could happen would be a beating. However, he didn't expect that when he entered, he saw Zhou Chengyun lying on the table motionless.

He was horrified and shouted loudly, ordering others to summon the imperial physician, and then he tiptoed over to check Zhou Chengyun's breath.

After confirming that the person lying on the ground was still breathing, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, stumbling to a chair before he could stand up. He had even thought about what burial objects he would bring with him to be buried, but fortunately it hadn't come to that point yet.

After the feeling of weakness in his feet disappeared, Li Zhu immediately helped Zhou Chengyun to the bed.

At the same time, the imperial physician, who was almost pulled into flight, rushed in breathlessly. Before he could slow down, he was brought to the bedside to check Zhou Chengyun's pulse.

"The Emperor has been poisoned!"

After the imperial physician made a serious diagnosis, he seemed a little hesitant to believe his own result. After all, the things and food that the emperor came into contact with had been inspected by special personnel, and the probability of poisoning was extremely small.

He patted his chest, reached out again, and got the same result.

"Come here, send people to guard each palace. No one is allowed to go out. Doctor Zhang, is the emperor poisoned by a chronic poison or..."

Yan Qingxin waved her hand and gave the order directly, then looked at the trembling Doctor Zhang.

At this moment, her brows were tightly furrowed, as if she could pinch a fly to death.

"Judging from the Emperor's pulse, the poisoning is not serious. It happened in the past few days. The Emperor summoned an old minister to take his pulse a few days ago, but there were no signs of poisoning."

Doctor Zhang wiped the sweat from his forehead and reported the truth.

"Li Zhu, go gather all the concubines and maids who have been in the Yangxin Palace these past few days and bring them to the side hall. I'll have Imperial Physician Zhang summon the Imperial Hospital staff to prepare an antidote."

Yan Qingxin gave the orders in an orderly manner, and then sent her confidant to Jiangnan at full speed to deliver a message to Zhou Yuzuo, asking him to come back immediately.

As luck would have it, a month ago, some common people had traveled across mountains and rivers to reach the capital and beat drums to protest their grievances...
