After warning Wang Shizhang, Pei Qi had time to take a short rest.
The constant pain in her waist reminded Pei Qi of the sweetness of Rong Qin's inner strength to her when she was in Chunjiang Tower...
Sure enough, there are still some benefits to those who practice martial arts. She regretted that she only studied these strategies and never considered martial arts.
Rong Qin moved quickly and soon brought Eunuch Liu over and asked him to kneel in front of the hall.
Pei Qi looked at Eunuch Liu's old face that was full of vicissitudes of life but still majestic. After experiencing the pain of prison, it was not difficult to see that his face was a little more tired.
There is another kind of...
Something strange that she couldn't describe.
Seeing this posture, Jiang Yuelian's heart twitched even more when she thought of Eunuch Liu who had desperately wanted to send the edict to the eldest princess' mansion.
Although Eunuch Liu is only an eunuch, he has always lived a prosperous life. When did he become so depressed now?
A palace coup turned the emperor's cronies into prisoners, turned the glorious prince into the murderer who poisoned his father, turned a generation of imperial masters into eternal sinners, and made countless important officials in the court panic.
Is this Dasheng country really going to be handed over to a despicable person?
Jiang Yuelian walked down the stairs of the main hall and got closer and closer to Eunuch Liu with the edict.
His face was ugly, almost tangled together, and his old face turned red, as if he was trying his best to hide something.
"Eunuch Liu, do you think this posthumous edict was written by the emperor himself?"
Eunuch Liu paused and looked at the edict held in front of Jiang Yuelian's eyes. The all-too-familiar black writing on it made him unconsciously think of the Ninth Five Emperor who had served him all his life.
However, the heart-wrenching pain all over his body made him frown, and he didn't even have the strength to stand up and hold the imperial edict.
Bone-eroding medicine is very abrasive.
There are only two choices before him. The first is to accuse the edict of being fraudulent before his internal organs fail, so that he can keep himself safe and give Dasheng to him.
The second... is that he said that the edict was true, and then suffered all the torture of the bone-eroding powder, placing his hope in the loyal ministers present, while he rushed to the underworld alone.
In fact, it was not that he had not thought that even if the edict was determined to be true, the presence of Duan Qianjun, the eldest princess, and even Jiang Lingfeng might still be unable to stop Rong Qin. By then, the bargaining chip he had gained with his life would also be able to stop Rong Qin. Become a worthless object.
Over the years, he has seen countless schemes and schemes in the palace. Sometimes, power is greater than anything else.
What the prince said in prison did not make sense.
The effects of the Bone Erosion Powder hit him, and the severe pain all over his body made his kneeling legs unconsciously soften, and he fell down in front of everyone.
Jiang Yuelian also noticed something was wrong. She dragged Eunuch Liu's upper body up and held her in her arms. She took out the brocade handkerchief from her waist and gently wiped the blood on the corner of Eunuch Liu's mouth: "Eunuch Liu, what's wrong with you..."
"Come here, Imperial Physician Xuan!" Jiang Lingfeng also knew that things were getting worse and worse, and quickly ordered his subordinates to bring over the imperial physician from the palace.
But midway, he was stopped by Tu You who was guarding the entrance of the hall.
Tu You pulled out the long sword in his arms and said quietly: "The right minister has an order. In order to prevent any clues about the imperial edict from emerging, no one is allowed to leave the hall until the results are announced."
Hearing this, Jiang Yuelian's usually indifferent and gentle eyes were also filled with obvious sharpness. She glared at Rong Qin and scolded sternly: "Don't you think you are doing the opposite!"
Pei Qi couldn't help but take a step forward. If Jiang Lingfeng hadn't pulled him, she would have been in front of Eunuch Liu now.
She didn't know what Rong Qin did to Eunuch Liu, but even the imperial doctor was not allowed to enter the palace at this time. Rong Qin clearly didn't want to give Eunuch Liu a way to survive!
"Qinglan."
Just when everyone was helpless, Duan Qianjun waved to the woman in green clothes who was waiting beside him: "Go and see what's going on with Eunuch Liu."
He is Duan Qianjun's accompanying physician.
Seeing this, Pei Qi's tense expression finally relaxed a little. She watched Qinglan's steps towards Eunuch Liu step by step, for fear that Rong Qin would stop him again.
As everyone knows, Rong Qin had no intention of stopping Duan Qianjun's men.
After checking her pulse for a while, Qinglan's dull eyes gradually became serious. After a moment, she turned back to Duan Qianjun, her tone revealing a rare helplessness: "My father-in-law has been poisoned by the bone erosion powder, Qinglan... can't do anything."
Bone erosion powder!
No wonder Rong Qin didn't allow the imperial doctor to go there. This kind of poison is rare. How could an accompanying doctor like Qing Lan have the antidote? Nowadays, in the entire palace, I am afraid that only the Taiyuan Hospital has a complete range of medicines and can prepare them.
Pei Qi was furious for a moment and clenched his fists: "Rong Qin, how dare you drug someone close to the late emperor!"
But in the face of Pei Qi's accusation, Rong Qin didn't care at all, pretending to be innocent, and smiled lightly: "The late emperor's confidant? He is no longer a long time ago. He is just a prisoner with a crime now, let alone What's more... Mr. Su, what do you think that this medicine is genuine?"
"You are despicable!"
Pei Qi was furious and pointed at Rong Qin, trying to curse him, but he couldn't organize his words for a long time.
Eunuch Liu who was at the bottom of the steps suddenly vomited out a mouthful of blood. Although he tried his best not to tarnish the edict and glanced his head to one side, the edict was still stained with some blood.
Rong Qin ruined all Eunuch Liu's options. The only thing that could save him was his own admission that the edict was false.
But in that case, they completely lost the bargaining chip to stop Rong Qin.
Pei Qi had a complicated look on his face. He looked at the old man curled up on the ground in pain and felt helpless.
The pain caused by Bone Erosion Powder is no less than that of Evernight Sky. She knows Eunuch Liu's condition better than anyone else.
Life and loyalty, what will he choose...
Eunuch Liu's hands were no longer able to hold the edict, but his eyes never left the handwriting on the edict.
He, Liu Yushun, entered the palace at the age of fifteen and was assigned to be a young eunuch in the Queen's Palace at that time. When the late emperor was born at the age of seventeen, he was responsible for taking care of the late emperor's daily life and playing with him.
Later, when the late emperor practiced the way of an emperor, he accompanied him, serving tea and passing ink. Seeing that he was young and promising, he also helped him eliminate all factors that hindered his ascension to the throne.
He was also bribed and asked to poison the food of the late emperor, but he did not do it until the late emperor ascended the throne.
This is the child he has grown up with since childhood. If he dies by his own hands, he will not survive.
Faced with the temptation of ten thousand taels of gold and ten thousand acres of fertile land, he never turned his back on the late emperor, because as long as he became the eunuch in charge of the emperor's side, these so-called silver coins were all external things, far less valuable than those with power.
He doesn't care.
But he... cherished his life the most.
