The emperor was wounded in the abdomen and was placed in the palace for treatment. Gu Zhao had a large number of people and it was a crushing confrontation. Gu Zhao captured the leader and killed him in one fell swoop. More than 10,000 people had to surrender. .
At this time in the palace, the emperor looked at his wound bleeding out. Doctor Wen looked at the seriousness of the wound and was even a little scared. If he could not save the emperor, his life would be at risk.
"You have to hold on tight and don't sleep." The minister outside quickly advised the emperor.
"How is the situation outside?" the emperor asked.
"General Gu fought hard against the enemy generals. The rebels have given up resistance. General Gu has gone to pick up the queen."
The emperor hummed and raised his head. He didn't know what to think. He was injured a bit seriously. He knew that the conditions outside were poor. If he didn't hold on, he would really die.
Jin Xin, who was on the mountain, was hiding in the forest with her concubines. She looked at the thick smoke rising from several places at the bottom of the mountain, and knew that the battle was fierce without even thinking about it.
There was a fire at the hunting ground, and there were fireworks at the palace. Fortunately, they evacuated in time, otherwise, they would really be dead.
Jiang Quwu came up from the mountain at this time. Jinxin saw this and hurriedly stepped forward, "How are you down there? Is everything okay?"
"Fortunately, Gu Zhao's people intercepted the rebels at the bottom of the mountain. He sent Wei Cong to pick us up. He led his troops down the mountain to the canyon to pursue us. The palace is safe."
Jin Xin breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, let's go down the mountain now."
Everyone hurriedly got up and took action.
When everyone went down, Jiang Quwu whispered to Jin Xin, "The emperor is seriously injured. You should take the eldest prince to him as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Jin Xin's brows were a little complicated, "Is it serious?"
"Hard to say."
Jin Xin understood that the emperor's injury was quite serious and if it was not handled well, he might not be able to survive it.
The group finally returned to the palace. Seeing all the ministers outside the palace, the atmosphere was a bit serious. Concubine Lan became nervous and asked, "How is the emperor?"
"The emperor is a little unconscious. The emperor said that he wants to see the queen." Huang Wanshun said hurriedly.
Concubine Lan was slightly disappointed, but had no choice but to step back.
Jin Xin nodded and walked in immediately.
The ground was stained a lot with the gauze used to stop the bleeding. The emperor was lying there, looking pale.
Jin Xin's expression was sad, her tears fell as soon as she could, and her tears fell down. She stepped forward and held the emperor's hand.
The emperor slowly opened his eyes and said, "You are back. Are the children okay?"
"Everything is okay, we are all safe."
The emperor nodded, "I am too conceited. Fortunately, you are all fine."
"Your Majesty, you have to hold on." Jin Xin choked with sobs.
The prince has not yet been established.
The emperor nodded, "I can't die yet, I just think it's a little more serious."
It's just that I was poisoned. I don't know when I was poisoned. I have to plan for some things.
Jin Xin was stunned, Huang Wanshun couldn't say anything to others.
But looking at the bloody ribbons on the ground, anyone who looked at it would think that the emperor was dying.
"Doctor Wen, how is the emperor?" Jin Xin asked.
"Back to your Majesty, the Emperor was injured in the abdomen and lost too much blood. However, the bleeding has stopped now. He cannot move. He must stay in bed for at least a month."
When Jin Xin heard this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, the emperor is fine, otherwise who would my concubine and my children rely on?"
The emperor raised his hand to hold her hand and said warmly, "It's okay, I will support you. Regarding the matter with Prince An, I regret not listening to your instructions to investigate him. Now it has led to today's disaster and heavy losses."
Jin Xin said nothing, lowered her head, looking very aggrieved.
"General Gu is very foresighted and very loyal. Fortunately, he made arrangements in advance today, and fortunately I left the military power to him. Today, I was able to stop Prince He'an's conspiracy in time. I was a villain in the past." The emperor sighed.
"General Gu is indeed good. He has always been loyal to his duties. The emperor should be trustworthy in employing people."
The emperor nodded, "Today's disaster has made me understand that the matter of the prince still needs to be settled early. After returning to the palace, I will issue an edict to make our Hong'er the prince."
Hong'er stepped forward and knelt in front of the emperor, "My son, I will definitely study hard and be like my father, a wise king and benefit all people."
"Good boy." The emperor smiled.
After saying that, he fell asleep.
Jin Xin was shocked, why was she still fainting?
Doctor Wen came forward to check and quickly gave him the Jiuxin Pill.
"Your Majesty, he has fainted due to excessive blood loss." Doctor Wen said hurriedly.
Afterwards, the group of people quickly exited and waited for Dr. Wen to treat the emperor.
The emperor's words were also heard by the two ministers. Hong'er's position as crown prince can probably be decided upon his return.
When he returned to his residence, Dr. Wen came to report the emperor's condition.
"I just found insect poison in the emperor's body. This injury will cost half of his life. Even if the injury heals, the person will still be sick and his life will not be too long."
Jin Xin was stunned when she heard this, "Does the Emperor know?"
"I know, he asked me to hide it." Doctor Wen said.
"What kind of poison is it?" Jin Xin asked.
"The insect poison unique to southern Xinjiang hurts the human heart and erodes the muscles and veins. As time goes by, the limbs will become uncoordinated, the body will become stiff, and the mobility will be lost. At first, you will be unable to do anything and can only lie down with only your eyes. He was unable to move, but in the end he couldn’t eat and starved to death.”
Jin Xin covered her mouth and nose after hearing this. This way of death was a very sad process for an emperor.
He was afraid that he would not accept his ending.
"You go out first. This matter will be handled according to the emperor's wishes. I don't know anything." Jin Xin also needs to calm down.
He only has three years left.
In the evening, Gu Zhao came back covered in blood.
The crown prince of Prince He'an was captured alive, and Prince He'an was already brought to justice.
Early in the morning, when the emperor woke up, he met Gu Zhao.
The emperor was grateful for Gu Zhao's many rescues and chose to trust Gu Zhao.
Gu Zhao has already been ranked as a first-class minister and a protector of the country, and he will be granted the title of Duke of the country.
The Duke was less than thirty years old, commanded a hundred thousand troops, and was deeply favored by the emperor. Gu Zhao's current status was that of a princess, and he could marry her.
For Prince He'an's son, the emperor first ordered to behead him in public, and Prince He'an had to be whipped even after he died.
At this time, Dr. Wen came in to change the dressing. The emperor asked everyone to go out, and then looked at Dr. Wen, "I ask you, how long has this poison been in your body?"
"It only lasts for half a month. This poison is colorless and odorless. It will not attack immediately and will corrode slowly. There is no antidote."
The emperor closed his eyes in despair after hearing this. Without an antidote, he was waiting to die.
Half a month ago, the queen's biological mother passed away, and she was alone in Changle Palace. Could it be that Concubine Shun poisoned her?
Why did she do this?
The emperor felt that he loved Concubine Shun very much, and she had always been well-behaved. How dare she do this, and why did she do it?
Later, the emperor asked Sun Yi to come in and ask him to check on Concubine Shun to see who she was involved with.
If she really dared to murder the emperor, it would not be an exaggeration to kill even the ten clans.
He was unwilling to die at such a young age.
