Chapter 364 - 364 Poisoned

364 Poisoned

The emperor closed his eyes and took a deep breath. “The situation is so grim now. What if I rest?”

“With the crown prince around, Prince Jin and Jiang Ying helping him, and all the civil and military officials in the court, what are you worried about?” Ning Yue asked the emperor.

The emperor sighed heavily. “I thought so before this. Do you know that King Chu handed me a memorial early in the morning? King Chu used the attack on the crown prince and me as an excuse. He said that Prince Jin had the intention of rebelling and asked me to deal with him. I usually don’t care about ordinary memorials like this, but what happened today has already exceeded my expectations.” The emperor told Ning Yue about today’s situation.

It turned out that when King Chu handed in this memorial, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War suddenly asked him for money.

The Black City Kingdom was going to war with Great Yun Nation. A certain general suddenly revealed that he did not know how to fight. All his achievements were fake.

The emperor was furious. He did not believe that these things had nothing to do with King Chu.

“Is King Chu that powerful? He actually dared to extend his hand to the Imperial Court. Wasn’t he conferred the title of King a long time ago and sent to his fief?” Ning Yue frowned in confusion.

“He should have infiltrated the Imperial Court a long time ago.” The emperor sighed weakly.

The Minister of Revenue and the Assistant Minister of War were both positions that the late emperor had assigned when he was still alive.

These two people should have been bribed by King Chu a long time ago. King Chu was really tolerant. He could actually endure it until now.

Unknowingly, he had already infiltrated the entire Imperial Court.

Ning Yue also knew the seriousness of the matter and hurriedly advised the emperor, “Emperor, things have already come to this. Do you still want Jiang Ying to continue staying in the prison?”

“Let him out. Things are getting worse now. He can’t solve anything by staying there,” the emperor said.

Ning Yue nodded. There was no point in Jiang Ying entering the prison!

Suddenly, she recalled one of King Chu’s actions. “Emperor, you said that King Chu handed over a memorial to smear Prince Jin’s reputation. Jiang Ying is in the prison now.”

With that, Ning Yue deliberately paused to see what expression the emperor had. However, his expression was not good to begin with, so she could not tell.

She continued, “Recently, there was news that the Black City Kingdom was going to war with us. Isn’t that too much of a coincidence?”

The emperor’s eyelids twitched violently. Yes, everything was too coincidental. He would never believe that there was nothing wrong with it!

“Ning Yue, do you mean that King Chu is related to the Black City Kingdom?” After saying this, the emperor suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood and fainted.

“Emperor!” Ning Yue was shocked. She shouted and called the eunuch in, then hurriedly treated the emperor.

The emperor was furious. Fortunately, he had met her. Otherwise, he might have died on the spot.

She took silver needles and performed acupuncture on the emperor, leaving behind some great supplements. She instructed the eunuch emperor on the food he could eat and told the imperial physicians about the emperor’s condition.

The eunuch’s expression was ugly. No, he had to call the crown prince over. If anything happened to the emperor, the crown prince would be from above. He had to send the crown prince away first.

The crown prince quickly received the news. He was shocked to see the emperor and was relieved to ask about the imperial physician.

Fortunately, Ning Yue was around. Otherwise, the emperor would have gone.

Ning Yue returned home and told Yuan Hui about the palace. He looked at Ning Yue in surprise. “Is the emperor of Great Yun Nation so weak?”

“I overworked myself and haven’t restrained myself. My body is empty,” Ning Yue said.

Hearing Ning Yue’s words, Yuan Hui almost laughed out loud. Fortunately, Russia was monogamous. He had yet to marry a wife, so there was no need for his body to be emptied.

“It’s better not to mock him. You’re not much better. The poison in your body hasn’t been completely cured,” Ning Yue said.

Speaking of the remaining poison, Yuan Hui did not say anything else.

“By the way, King Chu wrote a letter.” Yuan Hui handed a letter to Ning Yue.

When she saw the letter, Ning Yue was shocked. There was obvious white powder on the envelope. She hurriedly told Yuan Hui to be careful.

But before she could say anything, the two of them fell to the ground.

Before falling to the ground, Ning Yue complained. Yuan Hui was still an emperor. Didn’t he have any vigilance?

A few minutes later, Jiang Ying returned home. When he saw Ning Yue and Yuan Hui on the ground, he hurriedly went forward to check.

He realized that between Ning Yue and Yuan Hui was a letter with his name written on it. There was some white powder around the envelope.
