Chapter 972 The Wrath of the Son of Heaven

The poisoning had damaged Yuan Wu's heart and lungs. Every time he moved, he felt like a thousand arrows were piercing his heart.

He just held on, thinking about where Zhizhi might be hidden.

Emperor Yuanwu held his head and thought desperately, desperately thinking of any possible place based on his memory.

Concubine Xiao took advantage of his absence and moved slightly backwards a few times, then climbed up and prepared to run out of the palace.

Concubine Xiao was so frightened that she just wanted to leave here as soon as possible.

But as soon as she stood firm, Emperor Yuanwu grabbed her ankle, pulled her hard, and then hit her on the back of the neck with a knife, knocking her unconscious to the ground.

"Throw it on the bed."

Emperor Yuanwu gave instructions and stood up on the bed.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The bell rang on the day watch, and Emperor Yuanwu murmured: "On the fourth watch day, at about this time on weekdays, I should get up. What should the palace servants be doing now?"

Lu Xi replied: "Your Majesty, before my subordinates came down, the Prime Minister once said that after the fourth watch, the courtiers will enter the palace one after another to attend the court meeting. All the palace servants serving His Majesty will get up to prepare for His Majesty's court meeting."

"The imperial chef in the dining room gets up and steams the food for the palace guests first, and then prepares the breakfast for His Majesty. People in this imperial city basically start their day's work at the fourth watch."

"Zhizhi!" Emperor Yuanwu suddenly seemed to have thought of something and rushed out desperately.

The palace servants outside knelt on the ground, but he ignored them and ran towards the dining room as hard as he could.

Lu Xi and Ling looked at each other, and Ling immediately turned into a shadow and followed behind to protect them.

Lu Xi hurriedly followed.

Emperor Yuanwu stumbled along the way and knocked over many palace people. He didn't care about many of them and ran like crazy.

He ran until blood spilled from his mouth, but he never stopped.

"Squeak..."

The closer he got to the dining room, the more panicked Emperor Yuanwu became, until he knocked open the door of the dining room and his eyes instantly focused on the big steamer in the big pot.

"roll!"

Emperor Yuanwu roared, threw himself at the big steamer, lifted the lid of the steamer with both hands, and his eyes instantly shattered.

"Squeak-"

Emperor Yuanwu screamed miserably, and regardless of how hot the stove was, he climbed onto the stove with his hands and feet, and took the dying Lan Lingling off the stove.

The fire burned on his feet, and he could smell the burnt smell, but he seemed not to feel the pain. He hugged Lan Lingling and cried loudly: "Zhizhi... don't die, ah - don't die!"

However, Lan Lingling, who was as angry as silk, did not move at all.

Emperor Yuanwu's eyes were about to burst. He didn't dare to think about what would have happened if he hadn't found Zhizhi at the first time.
His squeak will be steamed...

He dared not think.

Intense grief dyed his eyes red, and his face gradually distorted, becoming ferocious and terrifying.

He hugged Lan Lingling tightly, stared at the imperial chef who was kneeling on the ground, and screamed at the top of his lungs: "Drag them all out and kill them!"

The guards rushed forward, and in an instant, cries for mercy could be heard everywhere, but Emperor Yuanwu had already fallen into madness. His eyes were red, like two blazing flames, but his eyes were so cold that they were almost heartless.

The palace servants were pulled down one by one. The guards raised their swords and dropped their swords. The blood stained the bricks and stones at the door of the dining room.

Emperor Yuanwu still felt that this was not enough and continued to order: "The guards in the dining room failed in their duties. Kill them all, leaving no one alive!"

This was the first time he used life and death to seize power, but it brought endless grief, anger and pain.

Lu Xi rushed over and saw Emperor Yuanwu like a mad lion. She didn't dare to act rashly. She just said cautiously: "Your Majesty, I am a doctor. Please give me Miss Lingling and let me save her."

The body in his arms gradually became cold, and Emperor Yuanwu was dominated by the panic in his heart. He hugged Lan Lingling tightly, like a child protecting candy, stubbornly not letting go.

Lu Xi was anxious, but he couldn't take away the girl Lingling for fear of irritating the crazy Emperor Yuanwu again.Outside, the Jinwu guards had just killed dozens of palace people, and then pointed their blades at the guards in the dining room.

Lu Xi thought about asking Ling to knock Emperor Yuanwu unconscious, but this would not save the hundreds of guards outside. She could only carefully advise: "Your Majesty, the most important thing right now is not accountability, but saving Miss Lingling. You can save her." Give it to me, let me see it.”

Emperor Yuanwu couldn't listen to anything. He hugged Lan Lingling and stared at Lu Xi with the eyes of a wounded beast, as if if Lu Xi took a step closer, he would violently hurt others.

There was a continuous cry of begging outside...

Lu Xi winked at Ling, preparing to control the crazed Emperor Yuanwu.

"Stop it all!"

Fortunately, someone is here.

Changsun Tao stared at the Jinwu guards with cold eyes. The guards in the dining room looked at him with tears in their eyes as if they were a savior.

"What's going on?" Changsun Tao asked.

Jin Wuwei replied: "Your Majesty said that the guards in the dining room were negligent in their duties, and ordered his subordinates to rectify all the guards."

Changsun Tao said without hesitation: "Stop for now, I will go in and take a look before talking."

Although the emperor's order was on his side, the Jinwu guards did not dare to ignore King Qi's order. The sword was still raised, waiting for an order. However, the guard was so frightened that he almost fainted.

"Get out!!" As soon as Changsun Tao walked into the kitchen, a burning stick was thrown in front of him.

What caught his eye was Emperor Yuanwu, whose eyes were red and bloodshot. He was carefully protecting Lan Lingling.

His legs were still kneeling on the charcoal fire, but he seemed not to feel any pain.

A large pot was steaming, the large steamer was empty, and the lid was thrown aside carelessly.

Changsun Tao just glanced around and knew what happened.

He took action and his body turned into a wisp of wind. When he saw him clearly again, Emperor Yuanwu had passed out and was resting in his arms.

Lan Lingling, on the other hand, was leaning in Emperor Yuanwu's arms, unconscious.

At this time, Eunuch Lu followed him panting, and was shocked when he saw the blood all over the ground.

He ordered: "Secure them first and don't allow anyone to escape."

After wading through the blood all over the floor, Eunuch Lu rushed into the dining room. When he saw His Majesty's embarrassment, he was so frightened that he almost cried: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

Changsun Tao made a prompt decision: "Lu Xing, summon all the imperial doctors for consultation; send people to Prince Qi's Mansion to invite Princess Qi and Mr. Baili; send an order to the Duke of Yue, ordering him to lead the Qilin Guards to guard the imperial city; in addition, order the Jinwu Guards to step up patrols. , not letting go of any suspicious person; finally, inform the courtiers to cancel the court meeting and let them go home quickly, but the clan ministers need to go to Chengming Hall to wait."

Eunuch Lu nodded hurriedly: "Yes...yes! What about His Majesty and Miss Lingling?"

Changsun Tao said: "Find two small sedans to come over and take His Majesty and Miss Lingling back to Zichen Palace. Then tell the eldest princess and ask her to continue to stabilize the Queen Mother and don't let the Queen Mother come too early."

Eunuch Lu trotted to do these things again. He was as busy as a top and so tired that he couldn't catch his breath.

After about a quarter of an hour, two sedan chairs were finally carried over, and Emperor Yuanwu and Lan Lingling were brought to Zichen Palace.

Before leaving, Jin Wuwei asked Chang Sun Tao: "Are these heads still going to be chopped off?"

Changsun Tao said: "Detain the people here first, wait until His Majesty wakes up, and then deal with them. If anyone escapes without permission, we will kill them. As for these corpses, don't deal with them yet, and wait for your orders."

Zichen Palace.

The imperial doctors on duty were called over. After asking about Emperor Yuanwu's pulse, they couldn't help but be shocked.

Several people whispered to each other for a while, and finally came to the conclusion: "Your Majesty was poisoned, but the poison has been detoxified. Now his lungs have been injured, and under the huge stimulation, his body can't bear it for a while. He needs to nurse himself back to health." It’ll be fine for a while.”

Changsun Tao said: "It is important to treat His Majesty's internal injuries first."

At this time, Lu Xi also checked Lan Lingling's pulse. She didn't say anything, but just shook her head at Sun Tao.

All the imperial doctors took turns to check Lan Lingling's pulse again, and finally shook their heads: "This girl is poisoned into her heart, and she is at the end of her strength. I'm afraid she won't be able to survive until dawn."
