The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

Chapter 336 Concubine Jing and her son collapse

"Master Qinglong, what do you mean?"

The third prince glared at him angrily and questioned him, even if he was one of the four imperial guards, so what? He was a prince, how could he allow a subject to offend him?

"Your Majesty!"

Concubine Jing immediately stepped forward and helped the man up. "Lord Qinglong, you have harmed my son so innocently. Please give me an explanation. Otherwise, even if you are one of the Four Imperial Guards, I will never tolerate it."

Fu Yifan clapped his hands and said in a cold voice, "Don't Concubine Jing and the Third Prince know why I did this?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the guards behind him immediately surrounded the Third Prince and Concubine Jing.

Panic flashed across their eyes. Concubine Jing, who had been immersed in the harem for a long time, sternly rebuked them, "How dare you! I am a concubine in the harem. How dare you act so presumptuously in the palace?"

However, these guards are not palace servants and only obey Qinglong's orders.

She clenched her fists in fury, raised her head, and met Qinglong's gaze. "Lord Qinglong, while the emperor was unconscious, humiliated me and the Third Prince. Could it be that you harbor some rebellious intentions? Or are you trying to stop the Third Prince from dealing with the troop gathering at the border?"

Fu Yifan ignored her and walked straight to the Third Prince.

Swish!

A white light flashed, and a sharp sword was placed on the third prince's neck.

"You...what do you do?"

Concubine Jing's voice broke with fear. She didn't expect Qinglong to dare to ignore him. She wanted to step forward to stop him but was surrounded by guards. She could only watch helplessly as the sword came one step closer and cut her son's neck.

The queen's lips curled slightly, and she stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Fu Yifan, "Lord Qinglong, please don't be angry. Could you please help us solve our doubts?"

Fu Yifan's attitude towards the Queen was completely different. After a polite greeting, he explained, "Greetings, Her Majesty!"

He turned to the Third Prince and said coldly, "Kneel down!"

"Why?"

But the next moment, his knees gave way and he knelt on the ground again.

It was the sound of bones breaking.

The Third Prince's lowered eyes were filled with ferocious hatred. He would remember this humiliation and would repay it a hundredfold in the future.

"Bring the evidence up."

A guard immediately presented a packet of medicine to the queen. She looked at it in surprise, "What is this?"

"Poison to harm His Majesty."

"what?"

The queen grabbed the medicine bag in shock, and the nanny beside her exclaimed, "Your Majesty, this is poison."

After saying this, he took the medicine bag in his hand and quickly called the imperial physician to check.

"Doctor, can you tell me what kind of poison this is?"

The imperial physician suddenly thought of something when he heard this, his face turned pale, and his trembling hands struggled several times before he finally caught the packet of medicine.

"It's Jingzhe."

"What is Jingzhe?"

"Qingzhe is a latent poison that requires continuous consumption for a month. After the poison takes effect, the victim will fall into a coma, and the toxin will spread rapidly throughout the body until the victim dies in his sleep."

The imperial physician paused, then added, sweat dripping from his forehead, "It is indeed the same poison that the emperor was poisoned with."

Concubine Shu covered her mouth in shock, "Third Prince, you actually dared to poison the emperor. You are guilty of rebellion."

The other princes also looked at each other, unable to believe that the Third Prince would do such a heinous thing.

The eldest prince said: "Empress, my third brother is the most filial. How could he possibly poison our father? There must be something fishy going on."

The Fourth Prince: "Yes! This incident may be a deliberate attempt to frame my Third Brother. The true murderer who poisoned my father needs further investigation."

Concubine Shu fiercely tugged at the eldest prince's sleeve. "What's the use of saying anything to help him now? Concubine Jing is very capable! There's no need for them to intervene."

After a brief moment of astonishment, the Queen smiled in surprise, "Imperial Physician, now that we know the poison His Majesty has been poisoned, is there an antidote?"

The imperial physician slumped to his knees and said, "Your Majesty, please spare me. I simply do not have the ability to cure Jingzhe's poison."

"Then how can we solve it?"

"I'm afraid only a master of poison like Du Zun can detoxify His Majesty."

"Poison King?"

The Queen murmured to herself, "Come here, have someone investigate the Poison King's location and immediately invite him to the palace to detoxify His Majesty."

"Yes."

Fu Yifan asked, "Empress, I will take the Third Prince away first."

"How dare you! You, a mere official, actually detained the Third Prince of the dynasty without any evidence."

"We've found the poison, isn't that evidence?"

"So what if it's poison? There's no guarantee that someone didn't deliberately plant it in the Third Prince's mansion to frame him. The Third Prince is incredibly capable, and there are countless people who want to harm him."

This instantly irritated Concubine Shu. "Concubine Jing, what do you mean by that? Flies don't bite cracked eggs. Why would anyone want to harm your son? It's a pity that my son was so kind as to speak up for you, but now you're biting us back. You're such a heartless person."

"It's you. It must be you who harmed my prince. The eldest prince is incompetent and has no achievements in the court. You are jealous of my prince and want to use this to kill him."

Concubine Jing was outspoken. She was the sister of the general and was used to acting recklessly. She didn't even give the empress face in the harem. Emperor Meiji named her Concubine Jing because of her temperament, hoping that she could cultivate her character.

However, in recent years, the Third Prince has become more and more obedient in the court, and the Emperor has become more and more fond of him. The position of Crown Prince is within his grasp, so she has restrained her temper.

"You...I'll tear your rotten mouth apart."

The two concubines actually started fighting in public. The queen shouted, "Stop! What are you doing? Pull them apart!"

The palace maids came forward and pulled their master away, thus ending the farce.

Concubine Jing stood in front of the Third Prince like a madman, and knelt pitifully in front of the Queen, begging, "Queen, please save the Third Prince. He has been framed."

The Queen looked at her meaningfully, "Don't worry, Concubine Jing. Third Brother, tell me in person, did you do it?"

"Empress, it really wasn't me. My father loves me so much, how could I possibly kill him?"

"Whether the Third Prince is innocent or not, I believe Lord Qinglong will investigate it clearly."

The Third Prince stared at Fu Yifan fiercely, "Lord Qinglong, is it because our father is seriously ill that you want to kill us all so that you can control the government?"

"Great! So you have such evil ambitions! Come on! Capture this traitorous fellow."

Snapped!

Concubine Jing turned her face to the side, and the Queen warned her, "Concubine Jing, you have overstepped your bounds. Don't you know what you should and shouldn't say?"

"He is just a dog beside the emperor. Why would he touch my son?"

The Queen's eyes swept over the solemn Fu Yifan, her heart skipped a beat, and she said hastily, "Asshole, Lord Qinglong will never allow you to interfere."

Only she and her younger brother knew the truth about the identities of the four great imperial guards. Not only did they have immense power in public, they also had the right to share the throne with the emperor in private. Apart from inheriting the throne, their other rights were no different from those of the Meiji Emperor, and they even had the privilege of dismissing the emperor.

And she also knew a secret, that is, the four imperial guards might do nothing against the emperor, but they would never betray the Longyuan Kingdom.

Now that the emperor has been poisoned and is in a coma, Lord Qinglong is the most suitable person to take charge of the court.
