NOVEL NEXT Chapter 589 Found it
There has been no progress in the case of the emperor's poisoning. While Zhao Chengye was busy, Pei Shaorong's words flashed through his mind. He hesitated for a moment and called the imperial physician Liu over.
"Imperial Physician Liu, Father is poisoned. Is it possible that he was stung by a poisonous scorpion?"
Imperial Physician Liu was stunned for a moment, obviously not considering this possibility.
From the beginning, everyone thought that someone had poisoned the emperor and never considered other possibilities.
Imperial Physician Liu wanted to say that it was impossible, but he swallowed the words back. After a while, he said cautiously: "It is not uncommon for scorpions to sting people, but why are there scorpions in the emperor's bedroom? Besides, in this weather, scorpions are usually still hibernating."
Zhao Chengye repeated Pei Shaorong's words, and Imperial Physician Liu fell silent after hearing them.
"Liu Imperial Physician, if Father was really stung by a poisonous scorpion, there should be some marks left on his body, right?"
Imperial Physician Liu nodded, "If the emperor was really stung by a poisonous scorpion, there would definitely be marks on his body."
You can’t really blame them for why no one noticed.
That's the emperor. Can his body be seen and searched by others casually?
The emperor was always accompanied by special servants, and Zhao Chengye immediately called them over for questioning.
The eunuch who was called over for questioning knelt on the ground and trembled.
"Don't be nervous. Just answer my questions honestly."
"Your Highness, please ask, and I will answer truthfully."
"When you were taking care of your father, did you find anything strange on his body? For example, like he had been bitten by something?" Zhao Chengye asked.
The eunuch was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the question was this. He thought he was going to be accused of poisoning the emperor.
He shook his head: "No, there's nothing wrong with the emperor's dragon body..." As he said this, he seemed to remember something, but was not sure and looked very hesitant.
Zhao Chengye said: "Just tell the truth."
"I saw a few tiny red spots on the emperor's body, and they seemed a little swollen..." The eunuch explained nervously and hurriedly, "But, but they are too small. If you don't look closely, you can't find them at all. I thought the emperor was lying down and accidentally got scratched by his clothes..."
He kowtowed, "Your Highness, please spare my life. I know I was wrong. I will take good care of the emperor in the future. Please give me a chance..."
Zhao Chengye didn't get angry over this little thing. It really wasn't a big deal. No matter how careful the waiter was, there would be mistakes.
"Go down, and be more careful and meticulous in the future."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Upon hearing the news, the queen also hurried over.
"What's going on? I heard there's been some progress on the Emperor's poisoning?"
Zhao Chengye expressed his doubts and said, "I am now preparing to ask Imperial Physician Liu to check if there are any signs of scorpion stings on my father's body."
The eunuchs who served him personally and the chief eunuch first took off the emperor's inner clothes and covered him with a thin quilt. Imperial Physician Liu lifted a corner of the quilt and carefully examined it, trying to find any traces of infection on the emperor's body.
Soon, Imperial Physician Liu found several tiny red dots at the location the eunuch mentioned. He took a closer look with his eyes and saw clearly that there were indeed several small dots on the skin, which looked like it had been pierced by something.
Imperial Physician Liu checked the small red spots again and finally confirmed that they were the places where the scorpion had stung!
"Imperial Physician Liu, do you mean that the Emperor was poisoned because he was stung by a poisonous scorpion?" the Queen asked in disbelief.
Imperial Physician Liu also felt that this truth was a bit absurd, but based on the clues obtained from the current investigation, this was most likely the truth!
Zhao Chengye ordered his men to search the bedroom carefully again, and finally found a poisonous scorpion that had been dead for a long time under the bed!
"Ah, a scorpion died?" Xu Muhua, who was in Yichun Palace, sat up immediately after hearing the news. "Don't they say that if a scorpion stings a person, it will be fine? How come another scorpion died?"
Wouldn't that make her the murderer of the scorpion?
The old man was very calm. He licked his fur and said, "You don't need to feel guilty. The scorpion was about to die. Not every scorpion is so young. There are young ones, and of course there are old ones."
Xu Muhua felt even more guilty, "She's already old, and she's still coming out in the cold weather to do things for me."
She is simply a super capitalist!
Uncle: It’s really hard to accept this.
The scorpion felt that he was about to die, and if he could do something big before he died, his life would not be in vain. What could he do? Could he stop him from doing it? What if he stopped him and died, and said that he was very sorry, and died with regret, wouldn't that be a bigger sin?
"Then you should thank its descendants!"
Xu Muhua sighed, "This is the only way."
He's already dead, there's no way she can save him.
But this scorpion really helped her a lot!
Now Zhao Chengye and Imperial Physician Liu have found a dead scorpion under the dragon bed, which proves that the emperor was poisoned by being stung by a scorpion.
Although this result is so deafening that I don’t know how to accept it.
After all, I have never heard of such a ridiculous thing happening in the palace.
Isn't it ridiculous? The emperor, the ruler of a country, was stung by several poisonous scorpions and fell into a coma. He was dying. If he died, the cause of death was not illness, but poisoning from being stung by poisonous scorpions.
No emperor would die like this! If this were to get out, the emperor would become a laughing stock in the world!
If the emperor were still awake now and knew that he became like this because of a poisonous scorpion sting, he would probably be so angry that he would die on the spot.
"That old man is lucky. He's survived two or three days." The old man couldn't help but complain.
Xu Muhua nodded in agreement.
If a healthy man was stung by a poisonous scorpion, it would not be strange for him to delay for a few days. But the emperor was already weak, and after being poisoned, how could he delay for a few days!
Don’t say that he is blessed by God because he is the true dragon emperor.
She felt that good people don’t live long, but evil people live for thousands of years!
Maybe the emperor will wake up in two days!
If that's the case, it would be bad. We can't let the poisonous scorpion sting him again.
The old man seemed to see through her thoughts and said, "Don't worry, the old man must be dead. He is probably just holding on and refusing to take a breath."
"I hope so!" She looked at the old man and warned him, "Don't act naughty recently. Keep an eye on Tiger Cub and don't run around, or someone will take advantage of you!"
Unable to do anything to the prince, he killed the prince's concubine's pet, which was a way to vent his anger.
