"Huang …" "Your Majesty …"
His entire family was executed?
Instantly, the three imperial physicians' complexions turned deathly white, their faces devoid of any color, and their legs trembled uncontrollably.
Without caring about the formalities, the three of them fell to the ground, fearfully looking at the emperor standing in front of them.
The other people present were so scared that they wanted to find a hole to hide in. Most of them grumbled about how crazy they were. How could they have come to join in on the fun, especially those officials and nobles who had nothing to do with what had happened today.
Initially, they were still feeling very pleased with themselves for being able to get a good position. However, at this moment, they were the people closest to the emperor and also felt the emperor's rage the most. At this moment, they were all on the verge of breaking down in fear.
"Your Majesty, this matter …"
The empress dowager, who'd been silently watching on from her chaise longue, couldn't help but speak up when she saw the situation spiraling out of control. After all, all these old doctors had great medical skills, especially the doctor at the Imperial Physician Courtyard. He'd been the one who'd applied for her safety vein all these years. Seeing that the emperor really did understand the concept of murder, the empress dowager couldn't bear to part with her.
"Imperial Mother, I will take care of this matter. I will not wrongly accuse anyone."
Without waiting for the Heavenly Queen to finish, the emperor waved his hand and cut her off.
Although he was not the successor to royal father's will, he knew from a young age that only by reaching the highest possible level could one grasp everything. Thus, he was very clear in his heart on what he could tolerate and what he absolutely could not. What was happening now was something he definitely could not tolerate. He also knew in his heart that these imperial physicians were definitely wronged. After all, no matter how brave they were, they would never dare to do something like that. After all, this was something that he had personally hosted. Under his watch … As long as he had eyes, he would be able to tell …
But...
But even so, they couldn't be ruled out …
After all … After all, he was the one who personally told them everything. Even before today, the people who knew that they were the ones preparing were very few in number. However, to be able to do all of this without anyone noticing … To be able to do such a thing right under his nose, did that mean if they wanted his life, it would be an easy thing to do? Thinking of this, the Emperor became even angrier.
He could not allow any danger to exist, not even the slightest bit.
"Sigh …"
Seeing the emperor's resolute expression, the empress dowager still wanted to say something, but chose to keep her mouth shut in the end and could only sigh silently.
His son was still his and his own, but … However, his son had already grown up. He was no longer the son that followed his words. He now had his own thoughts. That's right, why did she forget to accept it? Her own son had long since become a qualified emperor …
"Forget it, forget it. I will just investigate it thoroughly. I have to thoroughly investigate this matter!"
That's right, that's right, maybe it's because I've lived too comfortably these past few years that I forgot, he's already the emperor, he's no longer the person I can freely command.
At least, at least he could see that the matter didn't have much to do with him.
"Yes!" I will obey Her Majesty's imperial decree! "
The Emperor nodded heavily, his face cold.
He had to thoroughly investigate this matter, or else he wouldn't be able to rest in peace.
How could he allow such a danger under his own bed?
"Men, pull them down!"
The emperor coldly swept a few more glances at the imperial physicians before berating them in a loud voice.
