C4 Corpse Poison

When Imperial Physician Fang came over with the medicine box, he saw Yin Jiuqin sweating profusely as she leaned on the couch with a pale face. She was so frightened that her eyes widened.

"Emperor, Rongchen will take your pulse." This Imperial Physician was her trusted aide. Just like Wang Fu, he knew her identity as a woman and was not afraid of him checking her pulse.

Yin Jiuqin was lying on the bed and Imperial Physician Fang was inspecting her pulse. Prime Minister Faang's forehead was dripping with sweat and his expression was solemn, "Emperor, you are poisoned by the corpse poison and will not die for the time being. However, it will not be long before you fall into a coma."

Yin Jiuqin had more or less noticed this point. If not for her strong inner energy, she would have fainted by now.

"Wang Fu, don't leave this place. Otherwise, I will kill you without mercy!" Yin Jiuqin thought for a moment and gave the order in a cold voice.

She had neglected this matter. She did not expect that the other party would poison the cat's claws. If news of her injury were to spread, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Wang Fu replied repeatedly. His cold gaze swept across the palace maids in the room. These people could not be left alive.

"Master Fang, is there any way to cure this poison?" Wang Fu turned to look at Imperial Physician Fang, who was frowning and did not speak. He could not help but urge him.

Prime Minister Faang sighed. "There is a way, but we need to borrow the ice toad. Otherwise, the Emperor will pass away in a coma in seven days at most."

Yin Jiuqin clenched her teeth tightly and hatred burst out from her eyes, "Liu Yi, go and inform Old Fifth to immediately go to the Ice Palace to borrow the ice toad."

"This, let him bring it." Yin Jiuqin raised her hand and pressed the mechanism on the bed. She took out a painting from inside.

Bing Yuan, the Palace Master of Ice Palace, was a close friend of hers in her previous life. When Rong Luo rebelled, she did not hesitate to come to the Palace to save him.

This painting was something Bing Yuan had been looking for. She had given it to Bing Yuan in her previous life. Now, she could only take it out in advance. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to borrow the ice toad.

Liu Yi immediately took it and put it in his pocket.

The next day, the courtier waited for two hours before Yin Jiuqin came out. She did not even listen to the memorial and asked Wang Fu to retreat. Everyone thought that she was ridiculous and immersed in the harem, so she did not want to go to court. They all came to Ji Heng and complained.

Ji Heng looked at the bright yellow figure and felt that something was wrong. He thought for a moment and chased after her. "This king will advise His Majesty. Everyone, please return."

When he arrived at the door of the Imperial Reading Room, he saw Wang Fu standing guard at the door. He went up and cupped his hands. "Eunuch Wang."

"Your Highness, this is..." Wang Fu quietly blocked the door, afraid that he would push the door open and enter.

Ji Heng gritted his teeth, "Eunuch Wang, did something happen to His Majesty?"

"Your Highness, what are you saying? His Majesty is fine!" Wang Fu's heart jumped, and he forced himself to calm down.

"I want to see His Majesty." Ji Heng felt that something was wrong. Yesterday when Yin Jiuqin came to find him, her eyes were clear. Clearly, she wanted to attack Rong Luo. Why would she still hang out with Imperial Concubine today?

Wang Fu heard her body block him and braced himself to stop her, "His Majesty said that he wants to rest. No one is allowed to go in."

"I want to see His Majesty." Ji Heng acted as if he did not hear him and repeated coldly. "Eunuch Wang is blocking my way. Do you want me to take out the imperial decree of the late emperor?"

Cold sweat kept dripping down Wang Fu's forehead. His eyes were rolling around, trying to think of a way to hide it from him.

Seeing his guilty look, Ji Heng found it even more strange.

"Ahem, Wang Fu, let him in." Yin Jiuqin heard Ji Heng's voice in her daze. She forced herself to wake up and ordered outside.

Wang Fu was stunned for a moment before he heaved a sigh of relief and moved aside to invite him in.

Ji Heng had just entered when he saw that she was only wearing undergarments. She was lying on the bed with a pale face. He frowned slightly. "How did you do this?"

Yin Jiuqin grinned, "Yesterday, my son was ambushed on the way back to the Palace and was poisoned. Don't worry, Zhen has already sent people to find the antidote."

No wonder Wang Fu blocked the way outside. It was during the court session today. Looks like it wasn't her anymore. Ji Heng sighed and sat next to her. "Aren't you worried that it was me who did it?"

After all, she was going to see what happened on his way back.

"You won't." Yin Jiuqin smiled brightly and said resolutely, "Although you often go against Zhen, you are always doing this for the country and the people. You will not do such a thing."

Ji Heng did not expect her to believe in him like this. His gaze fell on her face and he only felt that although she was injured, the paleness on her face made her seem extremely delicate and beautiful, like a woman.

He could not help but secretly spit at himself. He was really out of his mind. What had he been thinking these few days?

Yin Jiuqin did not notice his loss of composure and looked at him seriously. "Ji Heng, I'll leave the Imperial Court to you these few days."

"Does the Emperor have any suspects?" Ji Heng changed the topic and his five fingers on his legs unconsciously grabbed onto his robe.

Yin Jiuqin sneered. "I'm afraid you already have a guess in your heart when you ask this. In this world, there is only one person who wants Zhen's life and dares to take Zhen's life."

"Rong Luo." Ji Heng slowly spat out these two words. Both of them were silent.

After a long time, Yin Jiuqin laughed at herself. "Unfortunately, I can't touch him now. Otherwise Zhen would have dealt with him a few days ago."

"A few days earlier?" Ji Heng asked in confusion.

"Do you really think Zhen kidnapped you to the dragon bed?" Yin Jiuqin asked with a smile. Her face froze when she saw him. She sneered, "Of course he did it. With Zhen's disgust towards you, I will definitely kill you."

"At that time, you should know better than Zhen what will happen." A layer of ice suddenly appeared in Yin Jiuqin's dark eyes.

Ji Heng sucked in a breath of cold air and punched the table. A wicked smile appeared on his lips. "This king has really underestimated him."

"As for that maidservant, it's the second level of preparation that Rong Luo made. If I don't kill you, then I'll let that maidservant kill you. At the end of the day, you'll die in Zhen's chambers."

Yin Jiuqin spoke so many words in succession, and she couldn't help but cough. "Zhen implicated you in this matter."

Ji Heng stood up without saying a word, "Your Majesty, rest assured and take care of your wounds. Leave the matters in the court to me."

Even though the two of them knew that Rong Luo was the one behind the scenes, they still couldn't touch him.

"Thank you." Yin Jiuqin slowly spat out these two words and ordered Wang Fu to send him out.

Ji Heng passed out as soon as the door was closed.

At the same time, in the General's Estate.

Rong Luo wrote down the last line and looked at the word "kill" on the paper. His eyes narrowed slightly. Suddenly, he turned around and pulled out the Flood Dragon Sword from the shelf. He placed it on the neck of the black-robed man. "Didn't you say that you already got it? Then what's going on today? Why is he still able to go to court?"

General, please spare my life. This subordinate did indeed see that the Emperor was scratched by a cat. That cat's claws are poisoned and she will definitely not wake up. In less than seven days, he will definitely die in Huang Quan. " The black robed man quickly knelt down and sweat formed on his forehead as he quickly explained.

"Dead in Huang Quan. This General saw that he is clearly still interested in pampering his Imperial Concubine." Rong Luo's eyes were gloomy as he shouted.

The black robed man frowned, "General, the Emperor's inner energy is deep. Perhaps he was trying to hold on but was afraid that others would see through it. That was why he deliberately put on an expression of overindulgence to cover up others' eyes and ears. However, this corpse poison is not unsolvable. The Ice Toad of the Ice Towering Palace can cure this poison. If the Emperor sends people to look for it, I am afraid that this matter will be difficult to accomplish."

"Don't even think about it." Rong Luo thought about how he used to lower his status and go to play tricks with Yin Jiuqin. In the end, she kicked him away and even tried to test him. It was as if there was a lump of stone in his heart.

Yin Jiuqin was obviously suspicious of him. If that was the case, she could not stay as the emperor.

If not, when she became powerful in the future, she would definitely make a move against him, not to mention that she went to look for Ji Heng yesterday.

A trace of fear flashed through Rong Luo's eyes. He had never seen through Ji Heng. He had no choice but to guard against this person.

Originally, he wanted to borrow Yin Jiuqin's hand to kill him, but in the end, it eased the relationship between the two of them. According to the news from the palace, Yin Jiuqin had taken a fancy to Ji Heng's face. He was really... a bastard!

Rong Luo's heart was depressed. Although he did not want to admit it, Ji Heng's charm was indeed something he could not compare to. Even in the entire Dongyue capital, it was difficult to find someone who could match him.

This was exactly the same as Yin Jiuqin's martial arts. If he was not afraid of Yin Jiuqin's martial arts, he would not have been so careful.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard the sound of a flute outside. He could not help but feel irritated and gave a look to the guard who was standing in the room.

The guard immediately went out to take a look, followed by a shrill scream. Rong Luo was shocked and quickly went out to check.
