Chapter 238 The Emperor is Poisoned

On the right side, a man in black was also rushing over with a knife in hand. At the critical moment, Jian Yue suddenly lay down, hugged the man in black's feet and pulled hard, causing the man in black to fall forward.

Whoosh!

The arrow that was originally shot at Jian Yue pierced into the chest of the man in black who had previously chopped off Jian Yue's head.

Archer Hidden in the Dark:...

I swear to God, this was really an accidental injury.

The battle lasted for half an hour before it was over. All the assassins were wiped out. A few survivors committed suicide by taking poison.

Several agricultural officials were slightly injured, while the others were frightened but fortunately were not seriously injured.

The group of people who came to reinforce were led by Fu Hu.

It turned out that since Jian Yue returned to Yanling Mansion, Ji Yunzhong had been sending people to secretly monitor her, and later found that a group of people were monitoring the manor where Jian Yue was. His men followed the clues and found the master behind these people, the Wen family.

Not long after Jian Yue left Beijing, the head of the Wen family sent Wen Yuanxi to the Taiwei Mansion for treatment.

Master Ye and Yi Tianxiao told Master Wen that they would not do anything good, so they could only treat the dead horse as a living horse. Master Wen had no choice but to agree. Who knew that within two days, Wen Yuanxi was killed by the two brothers. Master Wen did not dare to cause trouble to the Taiwei Mansion and Guimen, so he transferred his hatred to Jian Yue and vowed to kill Jian Yue to avenge his son.

The head of the Wen family had several sons. Wen Yuanxi was the eldest and the most promising. Therefore, his death was a great blow to the head of the Wen family. With the help of someone with ulterior motives, the head of the Wen family was filled with hatred and did not care about anything. He pulled out all the elite thugs raised by the Wen family to deal with Jian Yue, and he had to kill Jian Yue to vent his hatred.

Fu Hu told the story and brought some bad news: "Princess, I just received a message from His Highness that the Emperor was poisoned and in a coma after taking the Yang Shen Pills made by Doctor Mao. Doctor Mao has now been detained."

If the Crown Prince and Ji Yunzhong had not insisted on not believing that it was Doctor Mao who poisoned the patient, Doctor Mao would not have been simply detained but imprisoned.

"Princess, His Highness asked you to rush to the capital to rescue the Emperor and Divine Doctor Mao."

So, Jian Yue went back to Yue's house, packed up a little, told Fan Da and Chenxiang to take care of the house, and set off with Fu Yun and the others. She was in such a hurry that she didn't even have time to drink a sip of water.

Fu Hu personally escorted him with his guards.

Fortunately, not many people knew Jian Yue's true ability, otherwise, the road to Beijing would be full of dangers. But just in case, Ji Yunzhong still sent a group of experts to protect Jian Yue.

Fu Hu and others did not travel with Jian Yue. They disguised themselves as passers-by, merchants or peddlers, and followed Jian Yue's carriage not far away.

Jian Yue rested in the carriage during the day and changed horses at night to prepare for a night trip. She was stopped by Fu Hu: "Princess, the emperor and Dr. Mao are counting on you to save them. If something happens to you, not only the emperor and Dr. Mao, but also the prince and His Highness will be in danger. There can be no mistakes in your safety."

"If there are killers digging traps or setting ambushes on the road, it will be difficult to detect at night."

All right! To be on the safe side, I won't travel at night. I'll gather my energy and set off early in the morning.

I don't know if Fu Hu is a jinx, but he really came true. The group left the inn and soon after they set out on the road, they encountered an ambush.

There was a big pit dug in the middle of the road, filled with caltrops. If you were traveling at night, you would definitely get caught. Fortunately, you were discovered by a guard disguised as a passerby.

Leaving behind a guard to gather passers-by to fill the hole, Jian Yue's carriage went around it and continued on its way. Everyone was more careful on the rest of the journey.

When they were about to reach Shangjing, they encountered another wave of assassinations. This time, there were only 20 assassins, and no one knew who they were.

Fu Hu led his men to strangle the assassins, but Jian Yue didn't even need to do anything to kill them. Two assassins tried to escape, but Jian Yue, who had been paying attention to the battle, shot them dead with two arrows.

Jian Yue entered Shangjing smoothly and went directly to Ji Yunzhong's residence. Shangjing was in turmoil right now, and Jian Yue couldn't enter the palace without someone to lead her.

Outside the bedroom of Emperor Jingzhen, the Second Prince and a group of ministers were confronting the Crown Prince. Both sides were on the verge of a fight, neither of them was willing to give in.

Officials headed by the Second Prince advocated killing Doctor Mao and arresting Princess Mingyue. Officials headed by the Crown Prince insisted on waiting until the Emperor was revived and let him make the final decision to avoid misjudgment.

The second prince's eyes flashed with a dark, determined light, and he angrily rebuked the crown prince: "Why did you protect Divine Doctor Mao, brother? In order to poison my father, Divine Doctor Mao did not hesitate to smear poison on himself. Fortunately, he got his retribution, and I was poisoned by accident. Shouldn't such a wolfish and ambitious person be killed?"

Without waiting for the prince to answer, Rong Taiwei said, "He should be killed! Whoever protects Dr. Mao is suspected of being an accomplice."

Grand Secretary Zhou frowned: "General Rong is too arbitrary. We still don't know what poison the emperor has been poisoned by and who poisoned him. Shouldn't we find a way to detoxify the emperor? If it was really Doctor Mao who poisoned him, he should be asked to hand over the antidote instead of rushing to kill him."

Grand Secretary Zhou looked at General Rong meaningfully and said, "The one who is anxious to get rid of Doctor Mao has ulterior motives. Do you think it's General Rong?"

General Rong snorted heavily: "The poison that Divine Doctor Mao gave to the emperor must have no antidote, otherwise, he wouldn't have been poisoned to death."

The prince said in a deep voice: "The most important thing now is to detoxify our father. Second brother, no matter what you think, it's best to keep it to yourself. Otherwise, it will be too ugly and end badly."

The second prince made the final decision: "If something happens to our father, the first person who will be implicated will be our brother, the crown prince, because the East Palace is closest to Divine Doctor Mao and Princess Mingyue."

The prince sneered: "Second brother, you are stopping people outside the emperor's bedroom to talk about these useless things. You are suspected of hindering the emperor's treatment. Second brother, no one present is blind. Do you want to delay the emperor's treatment?"

The second prince's face changed, and he said angrily: "You are slandering me!"

"It's bad! The Emperor is vomiting blood and all he vomited is black blood. The imperial doctors are helpless. Crown Prince, Second Prince, stop arguing and think of a solution quickly!" Eunuch Fu rushed out in a hurry, sweating profusely.

Everyone was shocked.

Black blood? Still vomiting blood?

It’s so serious, can he still survive?

The Crown Prince was about to go in, but the Second Prince stopped him: "Brother Crown Prince is under suspicion, you cannot go in."

The prince was furious: "Ji Yunxuan, you want to kill my father? Are you so impatient?"

The second prince snorted and laughed: "Anyone can go to see father, except the crown prince. Someone, please ask the crown prince to go back to the East Palace to rest."

Wow!

The guards on both sides drew their swords. One of the guards, a thin man, approached the prince inconspicuously.

Suddenly, a figure flew over...
