"Imperial Mother, we do not wish for Wei Qing to become infamous because of us!" Old Emperor revealed his thoughts.
"Then let the academy judge …"
"Imperial Mother, I temporarily do not wish to spread the news of me waking up."
Otherwise, he would not have let Wei Qing help him hide things until now. If the poison was not so overbearing, Wei Qing would not have been able to think of a solution and would not have asked to see the empress dowager.
The empress dowager knew that the Old Emperor did all this carefully, but he wasn't a doctor after all. If something were to happen to him, and if his life were to be harmed, wouldn't it be even worse?
Seeing the worry in the empress dowager's eyes, the Old Emperor patted the back of her hand soothingly. "Imperial Mother, after this matter is done, I will pass on the position of emperor to Ah Qian. "After being tired for so many years, I really want to take a good rest."
The empress dowager's eyes drooped as she removed the mist in her eyes, tacitly agreeing to Old Emperor's decision.
Old Emperor had the empress dowager help him find a sword that could cut iron into mud.
After using the alcohol to dispel the poison, Old Emperor bit a clean cloth cloth and looked at Nanny Qiu.
The Nanny Qiu was worried that the empress dowager would be frightened by this scene and would grow seriously ill, hence taking the empress dowager out.
Then, the empress dowager was worried about the Old Emperor and refused to leave no matter what.
Nanny Qiu was also worried that if Old Emperor lost an arm in a while, it would cause some mishap due to excessive blood loss. He could only rush out of the secret room and run towards the side hall after hearing Old Emperor's groan.
Within the side chamber.
Wei Qing was currently trying to understand what had happened outside the palace. Upon hearing that Xiao Qingqian had safely returned to the Prince Chu’s Mansion, her anxious heart was finally at ease.
"Father, you definitely can't blame me for taking out the Death-Free Token and using it on Ah Qian, right?"
After taking the medicine, Prime Minister Wei's complexion looked much better than before, "Silly girl, Prince Chu is your true heaven, your true self."
He did not blame himself for taking the initiative, as this made Wei Qing's heart that had been floating for many days calm down.
The Prime Minister Wei touched the top of Wei Qing's hair, "Qing'er, over at the border, your big brother sent a message, it's almost all over. Long Xiaotian miscalculated this time, and will definitely make a comeback, I am afraid that the next time, it will not be resolved so easily, so, I am afraid that the battle between East Mausoleum and Xie Jing is unstoppable. "
Wei Qing's gaze darkened, "Father, I have already thought of a way to deal with Long Xiaotian, it's just that, in front of you, I should still help the Emperor detoxify the poison first."
"Princess Chu!" Nanny Qiu anxiously rushed in and pulled Wei Qing to run out.
Wei Qing's heartstrings fiercely shook as she asked with an exceptionally anxious tone of voice, "Did something happen to Your Majesty?"
These days, even though she had been working hard to force the poison in Old Emperor to her arms, the poison was extremely overbearing, and there was a possibility of it going backwards at any time.
"You'll know when you go to Princess Chu with this old servant." Nanny Qiu's strength was several times stronger than normal, and Wei Qing was practically dragged by her into the secret room.
Just as the door to the secret room opened, Wei Qing smelled a thick stench of blood. Nanny Qiu's face suddenly changed, "What happened?"
Nanny Qiu didn't see the empress dowager, and guessed that she must have passed out after seeing the Old Emperor, so she entered.
If the empress dowager saw that bloody scene, the Nanny Qiu really wouldn't dare to think further.
Wei Qing looked at Nanny Qiu's pale face and thought that something must have happened to him.
Wei Qing looked up along the bloodstain and saw a pair of jet-black arms. As well as the Old Emperor who had fainted from the severe ischemia, along with the empress dowager who was on the verge of dying from crying, all he saw was a pair of pitch-black arms.
Without hesitation, he stepped forward to find some powder that could help him stop the bleeding and quickly sprinkled it on the neat wounds on Old Emperor.
However, the blood flow was too fast. The moment the powder was placed on, it was quickly washed away.
Wei Qing was sweating profusely, and said to Nanny Qiu in a solemn voice: "Nanny Qiu, quickly go to the Academy for your judgement."
She believed that the magistrate would not speak carelessly.
"By the way, let's have him carry the medicine to stop the bleeding. The more, the better."
Wei Qing instructed calmly and calmly as she used her inner force to seal the few major acupoints of the Old Emperor, slowing down the flow of blood.
The yard judge was dragged all the way to the secret chamber by the dark guards. When the door to the secret chamber was opened, his expression suddenly changed several times.
Wei Qing once again sprinkled the medicinal powder on her wound. The speed of the blood flow had slowed by quite a bit, and her tense heart had finally relaxed by a bit.
After tearing the cloth cloth clean, he helped Old Emperor bandage his wounds and looked towards the courtyard for judgement.
"The academy's judge, you probably won't speak carelessly, right?"
After being rescued, Wei Qing had expended a lot of energy. Although she sounded a little weak when she said those words, the light in her eyes was exceptionally frightening.
The academy judge hastily replied, "Princess Chu, this old subject has not seen anything today."
Wei Qing frowned and asked: "Then, if the Royal Hospital were to be asked about the loss of so many hemostasis herbs, how would the academy judge him?"
When she was at the side hall just now, she wanted to ask Xiao Hanqi why he had suffered so much today when the empress wasn't able to make it in time, and was immediately dragged over by the Nanny Qiu.
Therefore, right now, Wei Qing was not sure if the empress would sense anything, and so, she decided to join hands with Long Xiaotian and do something that would harm the Northern Kingdom.
The school judge was also a smart person. The real Old Emperor was always in the secret room, and the one in Dragon-Dry Palace was just a substitute. Although he might not be able to fully understand what the Old Emperor was playing at, he could roughly guess — to eliminate those who were unfaithful to him and clear out those who were disloyal to him.
"Princess Chu, this old man is truly unsure of what to say. Please enlighten me."
Very smart.
Wei Qing stared at him, thought for a while, and said: "Just say that there will be heavy bloodshed by the palace maids, if there's more, don't say anything."
The academy judge was stunned. "But, if you say this, then if we investigate …"
Wei Qing naturally knew that she had to have someone to help him arrange everything as soon as possible. Glancing at the empress dowager who had been worrying deeply all this time, Wei Qing could only pass on this extremely important matter to the Nanny Qiu.
After all, Nanny Qiu had been by the empress dowager's side for so many years.
"Empress Dowager, don't worry too much."
Although Wei Qing knew it was hard to persuade others, but seeing the empress dowager's attitude, she had to persuade her.
The empress dowager sighed. "This Dowager really didn't expect that the emperor would be able to make such a decision."
Wei Qing did not expect this either.
Her gaze on Old Emperor was filled with admiration and solemn worship. "Esteemed Empress Dowager, I just diagnosed the Emperor's pulse. Although he lost a lot of blood and his pulse was very weak, the poison seems to have completely disappeared."
