Chapter 571 Vomiting Blood on the Spot
When the crow saw that he had opened the paper, it was satisfied. It flew out through the window again and flew back to report.
General Xu sat there quietly, without moving for a long time.
Xu Muhua knew that Crow had delivered the letter to his father, and he felt relieved only after he made sure that he had read it.
As for after watching it, she believed that her father would make the right choice.
Dad is not a blindly loyal person. He knew that the emperor was going to attack his family, so he just waited obediently to be exterminated. Not to mention that his eldest sister-in-law is pregnant now. As a grandfather, how could he bear to watch his family, young and old, accompany him to use their lives to prove their loyalty.
So she just needs to tell her father about this, and he will consider and arrange other matters.
After sending the letter to Duke Cheng's Mansion, Xu Muhua also sent a letter to Boss Feng and the others, as they also had things to do.
Finally, she asked the golden eagle to deliver the letter. She wrote slowly, fearing that she might have missed something. After she finished writing, she checked it several times to make sure there were no problems before she felt relieved.
Even now those poisonous scorpions are hibernating, where can she find something to poison them?
After listening to her unconscious mumbling, the old man rolled his eyes and said, "So what if they hibernate? Why not just wake them up?"
The old man said that this is not a problem at all! Hibernation is to avoid the cold, and secondly, there is less food in winter, so hibernation can reduce energy consumption. Can't she just solve these problems?
Xu Muhua was almost shocked by its matter-of-fact tone.
Is it too thick-skinned? Hibernation is a habit and a survival skill. How can it say it so easily?
Although he thought so, Xu Muhua responded quickly, "Then you go wake them up?"
"I knew that I had to take action on this matter, and I couldn't count on you."
Xu Muhua immediately flattered him: "That's right, without you, I can't do many things! You are my right-hand man!"
The old man was satisfied and said, "Just wait, I'll go and call you right away!"
The old man was indeed very reliable and came back soon, saying that they agreed to help. She made a plan and told the old man to tell them when she needed them to take action.
Xu Muhua nodded and now it depended on what happened outside the palace.
General Xu did not disappoint her, and a big event soon broke out in the capital!
Duke Cheng, who was holding an idle position in Beijing, suddenly stood up during the morning court session and said that a spy gang of the enemy country had been discovered in Beijing! This gang had also conspired many things, one of which was to bury a huge amount of gunpowder in important locations throughout the capital, waiting to be detonated on New Year's Eve to blow up the capital!
He wasn't just talking nonsense, he presented evidence directly!
After that, he knelt down and apologized, because the leader of this spy gang was Xu family's son-in-law Su Zijiao.
Although the two families had long been separated, they were both surnamed Xu. Now that the Xu family had married their daughter to a spy from the enemy country, the Chengguo Mansion could not escape the blame. He was doing this to slay his relatives for the sake of justice, but he could escape the death penalty, but he could not escape the punishment for his crimes. He talked a lot, not giving the emperor a chance to respond or interrupt. He was full of self-blame and shame, and his voice was choked with sobs. He wished he could hit his head against the pillar and die on the spot to prove his loyalty to Dayong.
All the ministers were still in a daze and shock, but the emperor on the dragon throne's face first turned ashen, then flushed red, as if he was extremely angry.
But before he could say a word, he exhaled and fainted in front of all the ministers!
Fortunately, the prince stabilized the situation and avoided chaos.
The prince remained calm and composed in the face of danger. He ordered someone to call the imperial physician and carefully sent the emperor back to the palace. He stayed behind and arranged everything properly before rushing to the emperor's palace.
In the emperor's bedroom, on the dragon bed, the emperor lay with his eyes closed. His face looked a little pale and filled with a strong smell of illness, which made people feel depressed at the sight of him.
At this time, everyone who was supposed to come had already arrived and was standing in front of the dragon bed.
After a long while, the imperial physician withdrew his hand. The queen looked at the people in the room, frowned, and said, "Everyone, please leave! I and the prince are here, so please wait outside!"
"Why should we be allowed to leave? We are also our father's children! We also want to know about our father's situation!"
The Queen swept her eyes majestically over, "Fifth Princess, you are so presumptuous! What can so many people do here? Will the Emperor wake up if you stay here? I am the Queen, and the Crown Prince is the Heir to the throne!"
The prince said calmly, "The imperial physician is here, don't worry. Father is the true emperor, with God's blessing, he will be able to overcome the danger. It's useless for you to stay here, and it will affect the imperial physician's diagnosis. If there is any mistake, can you afford it?"
With such a big hat put on you, who would dare to say anything?
The fifth princess stomped her feet hard and walked out angrily.
After all the irrelevant people had left, the imperial physician bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, the Emperor's health was already very poor before, and now he has been suddenly stimulated and has fainted. His condition is even more serious."
"How long will it take for father to wake up?" Zhao Chengye asked.
"It is not difficult to wake the emperor up, but the subsequent recovery is difficult. The emperor needs to recuperate calmly and must not overwork, get angry, or worry, otherwise..." The imperial physician shook his head slowly.
It is impossible to ask an emperor not to worry about work, anger, or worries, unless the emperor is willing to give up power completely. But it is obvious that this emperor is unwilling to do so, otherwise it would not have come to this point.
The imperial physician knows the emperor's physical condition best.
He had reminded the emperor before, but the emperor just ordered them to find a solution.
But they are imperial doctors, not miracle doctors!
The queen didn't say anything. After a long while, Zhao Chengye said, "Let father wake up first!"
"I will give you the acupuncture right now."
It was not difficult to wake the emperor up. The imperial physician took out a silver needle and pierced the emperor's body. Not long after, the emperor's eyelids trembled. The imperial physician quickly withdrew the needle, and the emperor slowly opened his eyes.
Zhao Chengye showed a look of relief, walked forward and half squatted in front of the dragon bed, "Father, you are awake! Father vomited blood and fainted during the morning court, and the imperial physician just gave him an acupuncture. The imperial physician said that father is not seriously injured, and he only needs to rest and recuperate for a few days and he will slowly recover."
Everyone can say nice things, but whether the listener believes them or not is another matter.
How could the emperor not know about his own physical condition? In fact, he has tried his best to rest according to the doctor's advice these days. He feels much better.
However, he was caught off guard when he heard the report from Duke Chengguo at the morning court. He was completely unprepared and his blood boiled... When he thought of what happened at the morning court, the emperor became uncontrollably excited again.
