Chapter 191 The Emperor is Poisoned

When the emperor looked up and was about to ask her a question, Tang Peipei restrained all the expressions on her face, leaving only a gentle smile, "Your Majesty, it's OK."

The emperor sat up in his inner garments and asked, "What have you found? What is going on with my body?"

Now that the problem has been discovered and is known, there is naturally no need to conceal it.

Tang Peipei told everyone everything she had discovered.

However, in order to avoid the emperor not believing her and thus alerting the enemy, she did not tell the emperor about their suspicions and the third prince's rebellion.

"Your Majesty, you have been poisoned. Once this poison is administered, it will slowly make a person suffer from tuberculosis. However, if you don't carefully check the pulse, you won't be able to find out the problem."

The emperor was so shocked that he stood up from the couch, stared at Tang Peipei and asked, "What did you say? Tuberculosis?"

You have to know that in this period, tuberculosis is a terminal illness. It cannot be cured and the only thing left is waiting for death.

But they say that tuberculosis is contagious.

This, what should we do?

The emperor's legs felt weak and he fell back onto the couch.

Seeing him like this, Tang Peipei knew that the emperor only heard half of her words.

Then he said, "Your Majesty, you don't have tuberculosis. You have just been infected with a poison similar to tuberculosis, which is not contagious to others."

The emperor felt a little relieved after listening to Tang Peipei's explanation.

Seeing that his expression had eased a little, Tang Peipei asked again, "When you first became ill, couldn't the imperial physician detect any signs of illness from your pulse?"

The emperor nodded. "It was the season change at that time, and the imperial doctors thought it was just a sore throat caused by the change of seasons. So they ordered someone to stew a portion of Sichuan loquat juice for me to drink every day."

Tang Peipei nodded and continued, "Later, your condition worsened, and they could tell from your pulse that you had lung discomfort, so they prescribed some medicine to moisten your lungs and relieve cough."

The emperor didn't say anything, but it was obvious that Tang Peipei was right.

Tang Peipei continued: "But they don't know that these symptoms are caused by poisoning. Over time, your poison has not been relieved, and your cough has become more and more severe, which has directly affected your sleep. Gradually, due to your hard work and severe lack of sleep, the toxins have become more and more unscrupulous. Now I'm afraid~~"

Tang Peipei didn't dare to say what came next, but the emperor knew what she was going to say.

He asked bluntly, "Then how long do you think I have left?"

Tang Peipei shook her head and did not hide it, "I don't know." After a pause, she continued, "But I will do my best to treat you."

The emperor couldn't help feeling a little depressed when he received such news.

He still had a lot of things to do, but he didn't seem to have much time.

Who was it? Who poisoned him? His daily meals and everything he used were checked by someone, but someone still managed to get his hands on him.

He had been poisoned for such a long time, but there was no diagnosis. No one in the Imperial Hospital noticed it?

Could it be?

The emperor was like a frightened bird at this moment, and he felt as if anyone might be the murderer who poisoned him.

Tang Peipei looked at the emperor's increasingly sharp eyes and felt a little afraid.

The emperor came to his senses and realized that he seemed to have scared her, and felt a little sorry.

But as an emperor, he could not apologize to others.

He still wanted Tang Peipei to buy him more time, so he said, "Madam Mu, the rest of my life is in your hands. You must find a way to buy me more time."

Tang Peipei bowed and said, "I obey your order!"

The emperor put on his outer robe again. The two men came to the hall and called Eunuch Du.

The fifth prince also followed in.

He was a little worried about Tang Peipei. After all, Tang Peipei and the emperor had been alone in the palace for too long. He had listened carefully and there was no sound in the palace.

So, he became more worried and followed him in.

Seeing Tang Peipei standing in the hall well and sound, the stone in my heart fell to the ground.

Fortunately, nothing happened, otherwise I would have trouble explaining to Jintang.

Eunuch Du followed the emperor's instructions, took the rice paper and the brush and placed them on the coffee table on one side of the hall.

Tang Peipei thanked him and quickly wrote the prescription and handed it to Eunuch Du.

"This medicine is boiled with three bowls of water into one bowl, and the emperor should take it every day before going to bed." He took out another sheet and said, "This medicine should be boiled like other medicines, and taken three times a day before meals."

Then he looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, is Eunuch Du someone you can trust?"

Tang Peipei's question made Eunuch Du's heart almost jump out of his throat and his body trembled slightly. He didn't understand why Tang Peipei suddenly asked the emperor such a question.

The emperor nodded slightly, and Eunuch Du's heart, which was about to jump out of his chest, calmed down again, and he even felt a little happy in his heart.

He was acknowledged by the emperor himself and was a trustworthy person.

He will definitely work harder in the future to serve the emperor in order to repay the emperor's kindness.

Tang Peipei didn't pay any attention to what he was thinking. When the emperor nodded, she continued, "I just checked all the items in the palace, including incense, bedding, etc., and didn't find any signs of poison. So there is only one possibility, food."

When the Fifth Prince heard about the poisoning, he was immediately horrified: "Father was poisoned?"

Tang Peipei nodded, "This matter should not be made public. To find the source of the emperor's poisoning, we have to ask the emperor to send someone to investigate thoroughly."

The emperor thought about it. He didn't want to make it public, but this was the choice.

Suddenly, he looked at the Fifth Prince standing below and said, "Then let Yi'er investigate. You must investigate thoroughly."

The fifth prince immediately said, "Don't worry, father. I will definitely find this ambitious man."

Tang Peipei added: "Your Majesty, you should not work too hard now and you must have a good rest. In the future, you must cut the ring finger of your left hand at noon every day and put a cup of blood on it. Because it is not convenient for me to go to the palace often, I have to trouble Eunuch Du with this matter." This is also the reason why Tang Peipei asked Eunuch Du whether he could be trusted just now.

But when Eunuch Du heard this, he knelt down, muttering: "I dare not. The emperor is a dragon. How dare I hurt a dragon!"

Seeing him like this, Tang Peipei felt a little helpless.

The emperor was speechless when he saw how useless he was. He said in an imperative tone, "Okay, this matter is settled. This is my order, just follow it."

Eunuch Du is really bad. If something happens to the emperor as a result, won’t he be dead?

But now, the emperor has given the order, and even if he is afraid, he has to do it, otherwise he will die faster.

The matter was done, and Tang Peipei followed the Fifth Prince out of the palace with peace of mind.

Tang Peipei followed the Fifth Prince directly to the Fifth Prince's Mansion.

As soon as I stepped over the threshold, I saw Mu Jintang who had been waiting here.
