Chapter 245: Huhai

"Father Emperor, how is your body?"

"I heard that all the imperial physicians have come to your place, so I was a bit worried and came to see the situation."

Upon seeing Ying Zheng's eyes, Huhai immediately revealed a worried expression.

Subsequently, he came to Ying Zheng's bedside, knelt on the ground, and looked at him.

"Your news is quite well-informed; the imperial physicians have only been in my palace for a short while."

Ying Zheng revealed an unfathomable smile.

Perhaps Ying Zheng's gaze was too sharp; Huhai subconsciously avoided Ying Zheng's gaze.

"Father Emperor is the most honorable person in the entire world; it is only natural for me to worry about Father Emperor's body."

A faint smile appeared on Huhai's face.

He looked just like a son who was extremely worried about his father's body.

He came to Ying Zheng's side and said so much just to stall for time.

The bottle of medicine in his hand had long been handed to his subordinate, prepared to be put into Ying Zheng's tea.

Outside the palace,

a eunuch looked around cautiously.

Subsequently, he sprinkled a bottle of medicine into the teapot.

Recently, because Ying Zheng's body was not very good, he always liked to drink some tea.

The tea carried a thick tea fragrance, which could naturally hide the medicine inside.

After that person put the medicine in, he quickly left this place.

As soon as he left, a figure immediately appeared in the spot.

Ying Mo stared at that person's back, not knowing what he was thinking.

Subsequently, he looked at the teapot again.

"Replace this for me."

He instructed the person behind him.

Immediately, someone walked in from outside and replaced the pot of tea with a new one.

Ying Mo signaled to a little eunuch by the wall to send this pot of tea in.

Ying Zheng looked coldly at Huhai performing in front of him.

A trace of cold air came in from outside the window through the door hole.

Ying Zheng's body could not withstand the invasion of this cold air.

After feeling this cold air, he pulled the quilt on his body.

"Is Father Emperor cold?"

Huhai's eyes lit up when he saw Ying Zheng's movement.

Subsequently, he looked up and said.

"Someone, hurry and serve a pot of hot tea to let Father Emperor warm his body."

Coincidentally, the little eunuch was walking at the door with the teapot.

Huhai's gaze glanced outside and met his eunuch's eyes.

The eunuch nodded lightly, and Huhai's eyes immediately lit up.

"Father Emperor, drink a cup of hot tea; don't let yourself get cold."

After speaking, Huhai poured a cup of tea diligently and handed it to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng looked at the tea in front of him, which was steaming with rolling heat.

Behind it was Huhai's smiling face.

His gaze flickered; he always felt that Huhai was being somewhat overly diligent at this moment.

Thoughts flew, but the movements in his hands were not slow.

He took the tea from Huhai's hand; the scalding temperature spread throughout his entire body from his hand.

Huhai looked at Ying Zheng diligently.

Ying Zheng did not care what Huhai wanted to do,

but instead gulped down a large mouthful of tea.

Until the warmth swept through his entire body from his abdomen, he sighed comfortably.

Little did he know, at this moment, a flash of brilliance passed through Huhai's eyes.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries in front of Ying Zheng, Huhai intended to leave.

Watching Huhai's hypocritical performance, Ying Zheng was also somewhat exhausted.

"You may withdraw."

He waved his hand lazily, signaling Huhai to leave.

Having achieved his goal, Huhai naturally did not want to stay here for long.

"Father Emperor, rest early."

After Huhai finished speaking hypocritically, he turned and left this place.

"What do you think he wants to do?"

After Huhai left, Ying Zheng frowned and asked Zhang Han beside him.

Zhang Han also shook his head.

He had been following Ying Zheng's side and did not know what Huhai had done either.

"This good son of yours does not seem to intend to let you go."

A cold voice suddenly came from the palace.

Ying Zheng's gaze immediately looked over and saw Ying Mo's figure.

"Do you know what he did?"

His brows furrowed.

"Do you think he came here just to simply let you drink a cup of tea?"

Ying Mo sneered.

Subsequently, he asked back.

With just this sentence, Ying Zheng immediately understood Ying Mo's meaning.

"Are you saying there is a problem with this cup of tea?"

Ying Zheng's suspicious gaze immediately looked at the cup of tea on the table.

Zhang Han's expression on the side also changed; subsequently, he poured a cup of tea and fed it to the eunuch beside him.

A trace of panic flashed through the eunuch's eyes, but he still drank the cup of tea completely.

"Hmph."

"That pot of tea of yours had long been replaced by me."

"The one that really has something in it is this pot."

【Redacted】

Ying Mo had someone bring over the pot of tea that had been drugged.

Zhang Han took the teapot, opened the lid, and checked it.

He also carefully smelled the scent inside the teapot.

"Your Majesty, it is colorless and odorless."

After checking twice, he did not find any abnormalities.

The eunuch who had drunk the tea earlier had long since had his legs go weak and knelt on the ground.

Ying Zheng's gaze shifted to Ying Mo.

"Do you know what kind of toxin is inside here?"

The expression on Ying Zheng's face was exceptionally serious.

A cold light appeared in his eyes.

Back then, when he knew it was Huhai coming, he had given Huhai a chance.

Yet he had not expected Huhai to still put poison in his tea.

If it were not for You Ling, I fear he would have already drunk the poison.

"How dare he; as long as I die, he absolutely cannot escape the relationship."

Ying Zheng's voice suppressed his anger.

"Hmph."

"How could he not dare?"

Ying Mo laughed lightly.

"As long as you do not die in front of him, then it has nothing to do with him."

"Do you believe that this kind of medicine is colorless and odorless, and even if an ordinary person drinks it, they will not die immediately?"

Ying Mo said.

A trace of suspicion flashed through Ying Zheng's eyes.

If it were a chronic poison, given the state of his body now, there would be no need for this kind of poison.

"Feed it to him."

Ying Zheng said.

Zhang Han immediately poured another cup of the drugged tea and handed it to the eunuch from earlier.

The eunuch's eyes were filled with panic, but he dared not refuse at all.

Tremblingly, he took the cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.

Everyone was watching his subsequent changes.

The eunuch's expression did not change at all.

"You, go over and take a look for him."

Ying Zheng's gaze looked at the imperial physician who had been waiting there.

That old imperial physician did not dare to delay at all and walked directly toward the eunuch.

Judging from his many years of experience, tonight was likely to be a sleepless night.

He had originally thought he was just coming to check His Majesty's body.

Yet he had not expected to encounter this kind of thing.

At the city gate tomorrow morning, I fear there will be another pile of dead people.

The old imperial physician thought while the movements of his hands were not slow at all.
