"Your Majesty, it's not good!" Ling Yi shouted as she came in from outside the hall.
"Why are you making a fuss?"
Ling Yi gasped for breath and said with an ashen face: "The Imperial Concubine is unconscious. The imperial physician said … said that his life is in danger."
Shi Sheng stood up abruptly, causing the things around her to fall to the ground.
Chen Bei took the imperial seal and returned to the palace. How long had it been? It had only been four hours. How could he be unconscious?
Shi Sheng suppressed the coldness in her heart and went to the palace with a cold face.
Several imperial physicians had already arrived and were lining up to treat Chen Bei. The Imperial Concubine was raised in the palace by Her Majesty. His food and clothing were the best. It could be seen how much Her Majesty doted on him.
If they dared to be slow and something happened to him, their heads would not be enough to chop off.
"Your Majesty …"
"Your Majesty …"
Shi Sheng walked in and the palace maids who were serving him all knelt on the ground and trembled. They lowered their heads to reduce their presence.
The imperial physicians surrounded Chen Bei and were all at their wits' end. When they heard the commotion behind them, they all retreated to the side and knelt down to salute.
Shi Sheng walked past them and approached the person on the bed. His eyes were tightly shut, as if he was asleep. If it weren't for the few green lines running down his neck and face, one wouldn't be able to tell there was anything wrong with him.
Shi Sheng sat down and held Chen Bei's wrist. She asked in a faint voice: "What's going on?"
Several imperial physicians looked at each other for a moment. One of them stood up trembling, "Your Majesty … The Imperial Concubine, the Imperial Concubine seems to be poisoned … but we have never seen this symptom before. His vitality is weakening. If this continues, he will soon …"
The imperial physicians did not dare to say the following words for fear of provoking their Empress.
"Why is he poisoned?" The people in the palace were all on the same side. Everything had been tested several times. How could he be poisoned?
"I don't know …" The imperial physicians lowered their heads again. They had even guessed that he was poisoned. They had never seen or heard of such a thing.
Shi Sheng narrowed her eyes. If there was no problem with the food and other things in the palace, then there was only … the imperial seal!
Shi Sheng scanned her surroundings but didn't see the jade seal. 'Where did he hide it?'
"Find the Imperial Jade Seal for me," Shi Sheng ordered coldly.
What?
Wasn't the Imperial Jade Seal in the Imperial Study?
Moreover, why was he looking for the imperial jade seal at this time? Would finding the Imperial Jade Seal save the Royal Concubine?
"She's in this room. Find her for me." Shi Sheng raised his voice and ordered.
The others were shocked. They suppressed the strange feeling in their hearts and quickly searched the room.
Shi Sheng sat silently beside Chen Bei. His gaze fell on the empty space. His expression was so cold that it was frightening. It was as if she was sitting at the peak of a mountain, and her entire body was emitting a terrifying and oppressive aura. It was as if she only needed to raise her eyebrows and raise her hand to annihilate all living beings in the world. There was no compassion or sympathy, only boundless hellfire and darkness.
That terrifying pressure made everyone not dare to get too close. Even being three meters away from her felt like torture.
"Found it!" An imperial physician ran over with a box containing the imperial jade seal. "Found it, Your Majesty has found it."
Shi Sheng took the imperial jade seal and opened the box. The imperial jade seal had not changed at all. It was still the same as before.
"Check if there's anything on it." Shi Sheng handed the imperial jade seal to a few imperial physicians.
The imperial physician wanted to catch it with his bare hands, but Shi Sheng avoided him. "It might be poisonous."
The imperial physician's heart suddenly jumped in fright. Why was there poison on the imperial jade seal? Who dared to poison the imperial jade seal? If the imperial jade seal was poisonous and the imperial jade seal was found here, then the Phoenix Lord …
Heavens, when the imperial physician thought of this possibility, his entire person became unwell. The hand that was holding the imperial jade seal did not move for a long time.
An imperial physician beside him was afraid that Shi Sheng would flip out, so he took the box along with him and placed it on the table beside him to check with the other imperial physicians.
The imperial jade seal was something that could not be seen normally, but now it was right in front of them. However, this group of people could not get excited at all. There might be poison on it.
After the imperial physicians checked for a while, an imperial physician stood up and reported, "Your Majesty, there is a layer of attachment to the imperial jade seal. This subject's knowledge is shallow, so I can't tell what it is …"
"Is King Yu dead?" Shi Sheng asked Ling Yi, who was at the side.
"Your Majesty, not yet …" Ling Yi was also shocked. Back then, only King Yu had touched the imperial jade seal. If the imperial jade seal was really poisonous, then it must have been King Yu. No wonder she returned the imperial jade seal so easily.
Fortunately, His Majesty had never used the imperial jade seal.
King Yu was dragged in front of Shi Sheng. Her face was filthy and she was in a sorry state. She no longer looked like the high-spirited King Yu from before. King Yu's gaze swept across the room. When he saw the imperial jade seal placed on the table by the imperial physicians, he immediately knew what had happened.
Her gaze fell on the person on the bed. It was actually not her who had been poisoned.
Shi Sheng placed Chen Bei's hand back under the blanket and stood up to look down at the miserable King Yu. King Yu's eyes were filled with madness as he smiled silently. In the end, she was still one step ahead of him.
However, before King Yu could negotiate with Shi Sheng, he heard her say indifferently, "Bring me the rope."
The imperial guards came in with the rope. Shi Sheng personally threw the rope onto the beam above his head, "Hang her up for me."
Ling Yi swallowed his saliva. "Your Majesty, where are you hanging?"
Right now, His Majesty looked calm and peaceful, but she felt that this was even more terrifying than when she was smiling normally.
"Neck."
"Xianyang, you dare!" King Yu roared in a hoarse voice, "Don't you care about that Feng Jun of yours? If you dare to treat me like this, then just watch him die. "
"What do I not dare to do? Hang it up."
The imperial guards immediately tied the rope and dragged the struggling King Yu onto the rope. There was a stool underneath, and King Yu was barely able to stand firm. But she needed to tiptoe, so her current posture was very comical.
Shi Sheng looked up at King Yu, "Where is the antidote?"
"I don't know." King Yu gritted his teeth.
Shi Sheng kicked the stool without saying a word, and the stool fell to the ground with a clang. There was no place to step on, so King Yu's neck was immediately tightened by the rope. His feet were constantly kicking in the air, and his hands were tightly grabbing onto the rope. He opened his mouth, but was unable to make a sound.
The imperial physicians at the side hugged each other and trembled. If this method was used on them, it would be terrifying just thinking about it.
"If you want to tell me where the antidote is, just blink twice. If you don't want to tell me, then just die. "
King Yu blinked his eyes with all his might. Shi Sheng pinched his wrist and ordered his men to put King Yu down.
"Cough, cough, cough …"
After being put down, King Yu was like a fish that was about to die of thirst, desperately breathing in fresh air. The feeling of suffocation was too unbearable, and she never wanted to feel it again in her life.
"Speak."
The voice that came from above caused the anger in King Yu's heart to ignite. It burned fiercely, wishing that it could burn the person she hated to ashes.
"Looks like you want to experience it again."
The imperial guards stepped forward and grabbed King Yu, sending her to the rope above.
"I'll say it, I'll say it!"
