Che Buchi pulled down the curtains and continued to escort Hao Zhen. However, after a while, he realized that the coughing sounds inside the carriage were becoming more and more abnormal.
Something was wrong! Che Buchi immediately raised his hand and shouted, "Stop the carriage!"
The carriage stopped on the street. Che Buchi jumped off the horse and walked to the shaft of the carriage. When he reached out to open the curtains, he heard someone spitting from inside.
Che Buchi's hand froze as he touched the curtains. Then, he quickly lifted the curtains and saw blood dripping from his hand. Haozhen, who was sitting in the carriage, was clutching his chest. His mouth was full of blood and his nostrils were bleeding.
"Prince! What's wrong? "Che Buchi was shocked. He didn't dare to hesitate and quickly went into the carriage to treat Haozhen.
Haozhen shook his head. "I don't know what's wrong. I feel terrible. Mr. Che, save me!"
"Prince, don't panic!" Che Buchi comforted him as he checked his condition.
He told Haozhen not to panic, but then he panicked himself. As he shouted, the carriage sped through the streets. Along the way, the commoners screamed in fear and crashed into each other to open a path.
There were laws in the capital. Horses and carriages were not allowed to run wildly on the streets. Otherwise, they would be severely punished.
Ordinary people didn't have horses and carriages. This law was aimed at the rich and powerful. Hurting commoners was a small matter, but this kind of behavior was too vile and could easily cause a negative impact.
However, at this moment, the carriage of the Ying King's Mansion couldn't care less. If someone was killed or injured, they could just compensate. Haozhen's life wasn't something commoners could compare to.
The carriage rushed to the entrance of the Ying King's Mansion and stopped. Che Buchi pulled out Haozhen's carriage and shouted angrily, "Guards!"
Many guards and cultivators came out in shock. Seeing Haozhen's bloody appearance, they were all shocked and rushed to help.
The entire Ying King's Mansion was in a mess.
Princess Shao Liu 'er didn't expect Haozhen to suddenly ask for leave and return home. When she heard the news, she saw her husband sitting on the ground without his coat. Four cultivators worked together and each pressed a palm on Haozhen's body. They were obviously casting a spell to save him.
"Prince! Prince, what's wrong … "Seeing her husband's mouth full of blood, Shao Liu 'er panicked.
Che Buchi hurried forward and stopped her. "Princess, be quiet! The Prince needs peace and quiet right now. Don't disturb everyone. "
"What's going on? How could this be? He was fine this morning when he went to court. How did he end up like this when he came back? "How could Shao Liuer remain calm?
Haozhen, who was in a bad condition, heard the conversation and said weakly, "Liu 'er, listen to Mr. Che. Go out and look after the child."
"Wangfei!" Che Buchi extended his hand.
Shao Liuer had no choice but to walk out of the door, looking back repeatedly.
However, the moment they arrived outside, Shao Liuer immediately asked, "Mr. Che, what happened to the Prince?"
Che Buchi said solemnly, "Judging by the symptoms, he should be poisoned!"
"What?" Shao Liuer was shocked. "How is this possible? How did he get poisoned? The Prince doesn't offend anyone and doesn't fight for power. Who would plot against the Prince? "
Che Buchi said, "I don't know what happened either. There are no wounds on his body and there are no signs of poisoning. The symptoms seem to be from the poison in his body. It's possible that he ate something he shouldn't have."
"Something he shouldn't have eaten?" Shao Liuer paced around anxiously and mumbled, "It shouldn't be! The Prince didn't eat anything when he left this morning. He only drank some water. Moreover, everything that the Prince eats and drinks in the Prince's Mansion is strictly controlled. I also drank the water from the Prince's flask in the morning. Why am I fine and only the Prince is the only one who got poisoned? Could it be … "She suddenly raised her head and seemed to have thought of something." The Prince usually eats in the court room during morning court. Could it be … Could it be that someone in the palace wants to harm the Prince? "
"This …" Che Buchi hesitated. It wasn't good to say this out loud. He said hesitantly, "Logically speaking, the control of drinking water in the palace is stricter. Every detail is checked by many people. It's impossible for the person who handled the food to have the chance to poison it, unless …"
He was also somewhat suspicious of the possibility that couldn't be easily said. Unless someone in the palace gave the order, it would be hard to escape detection if someone poisoned the food.
The number of people who dared to poison the food of the princes and the imperial family and had the strength to give the order could be counted on one's fingers. He suspected one person: Qi Country's Emperor, Vast Cloud Tu!
This result was terrifying. Under the imperial power, even a vicious tiger wouldn't eat its cubs.
However, it didn't seem right. If Vast Cloud Tu wanted to kill this son, would he need to use such a method? He could just find a random reason to cripple or kill him. There was no need to bear the reputation of poisoning his son. There was no need!
"Unless what?" Shao Liuer was also somewhat frightened. She faintly suspected Vast Cloud Tu.
Che Buchi shook his head. "Princess, don't think too much. With everyone's cooperation, we can suppress the poison in the Prince's body for half a day. There will be enough time to treat him."
"Half a day?" Shao Liuer cried out involuntarily. Only half a day? Just hearing it was frightening.
Che Buchi said, "Princess, don't be anxious. On the way here, I discovered that something was wrong. I immediately sent someone to the imperial palace to report this to His Majesty. His Majesty will definitely think of a way to treat him. At the same time, I also sent my fellow disciples back to the sect. The sect will definitely do its best to treat the Prince. "
Shao Liuer nodded repeatedly. "Sir Che, I'm panicking right now. I'll leave the Prince's safety in your hands."
Che Buchi said, "Don't worry, Princess. We've followed the Prince for so many years. We're already part of the Prince's faction. The Prince's fate is related to our future in the sect. We'll definitely do our best to ensure the Prince's safety!"
In order to appease this woman, he spoke from the bottom of his heart.
Shao Liuer half-knelt and bowed. After thanking him, she gnashed her teeth in hatred. "The Prince treats people so kindly. Who could it be? Why would they do such a thing?"
Che Buchi fell silent. He couldn't say for sure.
"Mother!" A child who was learning to walk walked over. He was held by a wet nurse. Although he was small, his words were clear.
Shao Liuer immediately walked over and carried the child. She didn't dare to let the child come close. She was afraid that the child would see his father's pitiful appearance and scare him.
Holding the child in her arms, tears welled up in her eyes. She was worried and afraid. She had already experienced the ruthlessness of the imperial family. Hao Cheng marrying into Wei Country was an example. If it was really the emperor who did this, what would happen to her and her son if her husband died?
… …
Bang! A teacup was smashed into pieces. Qi Country's emperor, Hao Yuntu, was like an enraged beast. His eyes were bloodshot.
It wasn't just one son who had been poisoned!
At first, he was still calm when he received news that one of his sons had been poisoned. However, as more and more news came, he finally couldn't stay calm anymore.
All of his sons who had participated in the morning court session had been poisoned, as well as the other members of the imperial family.
Although the imperial family was ruthless, it didn't mean that he, the emperor, had lost his humanity. The affection between father and son still existed in his heart when he needed it. Someone wanted to kill all of his sons who had served in the imperial court!
Bu Xun quickly walked over, avoiding the shattered teacup and porcelain under his feet. He quickly reported, "Your Majesty, don't worry. The palace's elite imperial physicians have already rushed to the various manors. We've also informed the three major sects to send medical experts over."
Hao Yuntu's expression was sinister as he said, "All the members of the imperial family who participated in the morning court session have been poisoned. Could it be that everyone's family has been poisoned? Tell me, what's the problem? "He pointed at Bu Xun's nose.
Bu Xun's expression was grave as he said, "It's obvious that there's a problem with the imperial court's diet. This old servant has already ordered the arrest of everyone involved in the diet. No one has escaped. I've already ordered them to be interrogated!"
Hao Yuntu said angrily, "Interrogate my ass! A bunch of servants dared to do such a thing. There must be a mastermind behind it. Find out who the mastermind is. We want to hack him into pieces! "
Bu Xun accepted the order. "Yes!"
"Yes my ass!" Hao Yuntu pointed at his nose again and angrily rebuked. "What the hell is your office doing? You've already poisoned our palace. Are you going to poison us to death next? "
Bu Xun was terrified. "It's this old servant's incompetence!"
Hao Yuntu: "Find out who the mastermind is. Scram!"
The emperor rarely got angry at him like this. Bu Xun hurriedly retreated, knowing that the emperor was currently furious.
But before he could reach the door, he suddenly heard Hao Yuntu shout, "Come back!"
Bu Xun hurriedly and obediently walked back, obediently obeying the order.
Hao Yuntu's gaze was cold, like a man-eating tiger. "The Jin King wasn't present during the morning court session. He claimed that he was unwell and took a leave of absence?"
Bu Xun bowed. "Yes, the Jin King took a leave of absence yesterday."
Hao Yun Tu: "Wow, his younger brothers in the imperial court are all lying in front of the gates of hell. Only he was unwell and applied for leave in time, so he was very lucky to escape this calamity. This good son of mine is really blessed by the heavens!"
Bu Xun's heart palpitated when he heard this. The emperor was suspecting the Jin King, but it wasn't hard to understand. No matter how he looked at it, the Jin King was a suspect that was difficult to clear.
"Arrest him!" Hao Yuntu gritted his teeth and said word by word, "Arrest him first. Bring him back and interrogate him!"
As soon as he said this, Bu Xun knew that the Jin King's life was over. The emperor had personally ordered the prince to be arrested and interrogated. Regardless of whether he was innocent or not, the emperor did not give the Jin King any face. The emperor's dissatisfaction with the Jin King had completely erupted. The Jin King would probably have no chance with the throne in this lifetime.
But he didn't dare to say anything else. This kind of matter would stain the school affairs office, and he himself, so how could he be qualified to plead for mercy for others? He respectfully accepted the order. "As you wish!"
After leaving for about two hours, Bu Xun returned. Accompanying him were the heads of the three major sects of the State of Qi.
The matter had become so big that it alarmed the three heads to personally visit the various manors to check on the situation.
Seeing these three people, the emperor's temper had to subside. At the very least, he became docile and respectful on the surface. He cupped his hands in greeting. "This Emperor has failed to manage the household properly and has made the three heads personally run about. This is truly a sin."
The three either shook their heads or waved their hands, indicating that it was fine.
The head of the Heavenly Fire Sect, Yu Wenyan, said, "Your Majesty is too serious. The matter has developed to this point. It is no longer Your Majesty's family matter. The situation has already affected the three major sects. We naturally had to make a trip."
Hao Yuntu: "Thank you for your magnanimity. The three heads have personally gone to check on the situation. I wonder if the poison in the various manors has been alleviated? "
The three Sect Leaders looked at each other. Their expressions were awkward, or rather, a little unnatural.
The head of the Profound Weapon Sect, Bei Xuan, said in a low voice, "According to the situation of the poison, the imperial disciples should have been poisoned by the extremely rare Jade Corpse Poison!"
Hao Yuntu was shocked. "It's the Jade Corpse Poison that has no antidote?"
The three nodded slightly.
Hao Yuntu's face was shrouded in a haze. "In other words, the three major sects have no way to save them. They can't live and can only wait for death?"
