Chapter 24
Chapter 24
Outside the Universe Palace, the imperial guards surrounded the entire Palace from top to bottom.
Imperial doctors kept rushing into the Huanyu Palace, and soon they all knelt down.
Two imperial physicians were even dragged out and executed at the Meridian Gate.
The news here could not be concealed at all, and was soon spread by spies from all sides.
In the Universe Palace.
"How is it?"
Li Chen lay on his side on the bed, closed his eyes and asked.
“Once the news got out, all the problems were solved.”
A voice was heard in secret, and the chief eunuch stood aside, not daring to interrupt.
"Ok!"
"Three Treasures, draft the decree."
"Saint Baili poisoned me. All of Baili, from top to bottom, will be annihilated."
"Also, I am ill, so I have asked the Minister of the Central Secretariat, Su Luqi, to temporarily serve as regent. The three of us will serve as assistants, and all officials will respect us."
Having said that, Li Chen opened his eyes and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Looking at the appearance, does he look like he has been poisoned at all?
Does Saint Baili think she can succeed?
Isn't that too disrespectful?
Even if you look down on him, don't look down on his background as a member of the Li Qian royal family.
Just a small bug, and you want to control him?
Wishful thinking, meaningless.
However, this is also a good opportunity.
That's why he did this and took advantage of the opponent's strategy.
The night is long, but there will be a dawn eventually.
"Oh no."
"The prefect has died suddenly!"
"The Dali Temple Minister also died suddenly!"
"And the Minister of the Ministry of Rites!"
The sky is falling!
Ruined!
What are you doing?
Five people died at once, and they were all high-ranking officials of the court. This is a rhythm of death!
Someone immediately reported the news. After all, the death of so many officials at once was no small matter.
A coroner immediately arrived and performed autopsies on the bodies to determine the cause of death.
Such a big thing happened last night, how could they possibly sleep?
They gathered together to discuss and planned to make a report at the morning court today.
But who would have thought that upon investigation this morning, it was discovered that all five adults had died in an accident.
The coroner quickly found out the cause of death.
"It's Soul Devouring Powder."
"The five lords were given a sufficient amount of Soul Devouring Powder, which led to their deaths."
"I've checked the teacup and the incense, but I can't find any clues. I don't know how the thief poisoned it."
The coroner spoke and explained what he had found out one by one.
"What did the Minister of the Chancellery say?"
The Jingzhao Shaoyin spoke and asked his subordinates a question.
Yesterday he was not in the inner city, but was handling matters in the outer city with the two masters, Zuo Fengyi and You Fufeng.
(The three officials who governed the capital: Jingzhao Yin, Zuo Fengyi, and You Fufeng)
After receiving the news, he rushed back, originally to prevent the group from being destroyed.
But who would have known that as soon as he arrived at the Honglu Temple, he would encounter the death of five court officials.
It's like adding insult to injury when it rains.
"I didn't see the Minister of the Central Secretariat, but I informed the Su family's steward of the news and asked him to report it on my behalf."
The subordinate immediately spoke up and reported back.
After all, he was the Minister of the Central Secretariat of the current dynasty, so he couldn't see him whenever he wanted.
Su family.
Su Luqi put on his official uniform, straightened his clothes, and took the tablet handed to him by the old butler.
"You go down first!"
Su Luqi spoke, looked at himself in the bronze mirror, and gave an order.
After the old butler left, Shengqi also showed up.
"The spies have reported that the Emperor is suspected of being poisoned, and has drafted an edict to allow the Second Master to temporarily serve as regent."
Shengqi opened his mouth and reported something.
This was the news from Luo Wangchazi in the palace, but it was not clear whether he was really poisoned or not.
The defenses were too strict, and Luowang's detectives were unable to find out the specific situation.
The only thing we know is that the emperor was poisoned, not stung.
Two other imperial physicians were also punished for this.
Hearing this, Su Luqi's hand, which was straightening his sleeves, couldn't help but pause.
He raised his eyes and looked at Shengqi through the reflection in the bronze mirror.
"Did you kill those five people?"
Su Luqi quickly returned to normal and asked again.
"Yes and no."
