Chapter 243

A thick, bloody taste emanated from Wang Jian's mouth.

Wang Ben was his only son, and the only hope for their Wang family to continue.

But now, this kind of thing had happened.

……

I only hope everything is a misunderstanding.

The heavy rain was pouring down, and the cold wind blowing on people carried a piercing chill.

A clamor immediately came from the originally peaceful imperial palace.

Dozens of imperial physicians appeared in Ying Zheng's sleeping quarters.

Low coughing sounds came from the palace.

"You all, hurry and take a look."

"His Majesty's body cannot withstand this kind of tossing."

Zhang Han said to this group of imperial physicians with an ugly expression.

Eunuch Zhuo held hot tea, waiting by Ying Zheng's side.

Once Ying Zheng finally calmed down, he immediately handed the tea to Ying Zheng's hand.

"Your Majesty, drink some tea to moisten your lungs!"

Little Zhuozi looked at Ying Zheng and said in a low voice.

Ying Zheng took the hot tea from the eunuch's hand and took a big gulp.

The warm tea flowed down his throat into his chest, seemingly soothing the waves of itchiness coming from his throat.

Several imperial physicians knelt before him.

Ying Zheng's gaze did not look at this group of imperial physicians at all, nor did he let them get close to him.

"Your Majesty, even if it is just acting, let the imperial physicians take a look."

Zhang Han saw that Ying Zheng seemed to be in great discomfort, but still spoke in a low voice.

That group of people hidden behind the scenes had been slow to make a move.

In order to let that group of people make a move as soon as possible, Ying Zheng directly staged this play.

After all, an Emperor who is on the verge of death

is completely capable of lowering that group of people's vigilance.

"No."

"If it isn't serious enough, how can I lure that group of people out?"

"Has there been any unusual movement by anyone in the entire imperial palace?"

Ying Zheng interrupted Zhang Han's words; he had his own plans.

Although the entire palace was filled with his own people,

the human heart is the most difficult thing to control in this world.

Even he could not guarantee that the people below did not have ulterior motives.

"There is a little eunuch who seems to have had contact with people outside the palace."

When Zhang Han said this, his expression was somewhat ugly.

After the incident with Zhao Gao occurred, Ying Zheng had purged the people around him.

This group of people now were all selected by him one by one.

He had originally thought these people were all clean.

But he had not expected that there would still be people who betrayed their master.

"Why care?"

"No one can withstand temptation."

A smile curled slightly on the corner of Ying Zheng's mouth.

Even if this group of people were loyal to him initially, when the temptation was great enough, they would still betray him.

He had long since lost confidence in the human heart.

"But after this matter ends, I will definitely purge everyone around Your Majesty."

Zhang Han said in a deep voice.

Ying Zheng closed his eyes slightly and did not speak.

Zhang Han also stayed quietly by Ying Zheng's side; both were waiting for the impending events.

……

The dark night well-concealed the whispering of several people.

A little eunuch casually threw out a brocade pouch and then left as if he didn't care.

A quarter of an hour later, another eunuch immediately appeared in this spot.

This eunuch picked up the brocade pouch on the ground with quick movements.

Both little eunuchs thought they had done it flawlessly.

Yet they did not know that their actions had long been seen by others.

Ying Zheng received the news, and Ying Mo also received the news.

When Ying Mo received the news, a strange expression appeared on his face.

"Watch these two; I want to see what exactly they want to do."

Ying Mo said in a calm voice.

……

In Huhai's sleeping quarters.

At this moment, Huhai was somewhat restless, pacing back and forth in the sleeping quarters.

Xu Qi sat quietly in the position below him.

Both were waiting for the news coming from outside.

Soon, somewhat hurried footsteps sounded from outside the door.

"Imperial Prince, the news has been sent back."

The little eunuch handed the brocade pouch to Huhai.

Huhai directly took the brocade pouch from the little eunuch's hand and opened it to look at the contents inside.

His brows furrowed slightly, and an unfathomable expression appeared on his face.

"Imperial Prince, is there any news sent back from His Majesty's side?"

Xu Qi stood up and came to Huhai's side.

"That old thing's situation seems to be somewhat not good."

"All the imperial physicians have gone to his place."

Huhai's expression was somewhat complex.

He had originally thought that he would be very happy when he learned that the old thing was about to die.

Yet he had not expected that when he really learned this news, there was no feeling of happiness in his heart.

Instead, there was a feeling of loss.

"At such a critical moment, I ask the Imperial Prince not to hesitate anymore."

"After all, everything we do is for the Imperial Prince to be able to sit in that position."

Xu Qi said in a low voice from the side.

Seeing the expression on Huhai's face, he thought Huhai was hesitating.

"Nonsense."

"Does this Imperial Prince still need you to tell me?"

"This Imperial Prince just feels that letting that old thing die just like that is somewhat letting him off too easily."

Huhai's expression immediately turned cold.

"Immediately send the news out."

"I am going to that old thing's place."

Huhai put away the brocade pouch in his hand and then said to Xu Qi.
