Chapter 1952: Chapter 1890: The Situation Is Dire

The Empress Dowager urgently summoned him to the palace, not Emperor Yan. Ah Jiu and Wufu sensed something ominous. They feared that perhaps something was wrong with Emperor Yan; otherwise, it wouldn’t be the Empress Dowager summoning him to the palace.

The situation at the Imperial Jue Temple was still unclear. Since they were already there, Ah Jiu decided not to rush things and chose to first check out the situation at the Imperial Jue Temple, to have a clear understanding.

Having taken out a young prince, Wufu did not accompany Ah Jiu but escorted him back home, tidied up a bit, and then sent a token to the palace.

As for Ah Jiu, when he left the Imperial Jue Temple, he was trembling slightly.

If this incident had anything to do with Empress Song, what was her ultimate motive? If harming the Emperor was for revenge, then what about the princes?

The tragedy that occurred at the Imperial Jue Temple this time was quite vile. Besides the dead and injured officials and the temple’s monks and novices, due to the suddenness of the incident, there was a stampede as the frightened people fled, resulting in innumerable casualties.

As for the Royal Family, it was only Emperor Yan’s direct branch. Besides the Little Prince, whom Wufu happened to save, the Eldest Imperial Son and Second Imperial Son were dead; the Third Imperial Prince was grievously injured, barely hanging onto life, and it’s uncertain if he would survive.

Such a significant event, who knows since when it began to be plotted, resulting in the current situation.

Ah Jiu could not afford to indulge in sorrow, nor consider if he was overstepping bounds. Tasks were delegated one after another because the incident had happened, and there was still much to be handled afterward!

After getting a general understanding of the situation at the Imperial Jue Temple, Ah Jiu didn’t linger and hurried to the imperial palace.

...

Emperor Yan had not yet awakened. The longer his coma lasted, the more anxious the court officials became, fearing the collapse of the mountain, and the Crown Prince hadn’t been established yet.

Upon entering the palace, Ah Jiu first went to Emperor Yan’s bedchamber, where several imperial physicians were anxiously diagnosing and discussing.

He approached and looked at Emperor Yan on the couch, seeing his eyes tightly shut and his face ashen, feeling indescribable emotions in his heart.

"Lord Gong, have you found anything?" Ah Jiu asked the imperial physicians.

Imperial Physician Gong hesitated for a moment, then said, "There are no external injuries on His Majesty, nor internal ones. His pulse is sometimes faint and slow, sometimes rapid..."

"So what exactly is the situation? Why hasn’t he awakened?" Ah Jiu interrupted him.

Imperial Physician Gong pursed his lips and said, "I preliminarily suspect that His Majesty has been poisoned."

Poisoned?

"As for what poison it is, it requires thorough investigation and also needs to wait for His Majesty to wake up," replied Imperial Physician Gong.

Diagnosing the poison requires careful examination, especially as the subject is the Emperor, further caution is needed. A wrong diagnosis or prescription could worsen his condition.

"Then please, Lord Gong, do whatever you can to awaken my Imperial Brother," Ah Jiu decided immediately, also instructing Eunuch Lu, "Send someone to my residence and bring the Ghost Doctor to the palace."

Eunuch Lu, still in shock, knew that Ah Jiu’s Ghost Doctor was a highly skilled person and agreed immediately.

The Emperor is his heaven; if this heaven collapses, he won’t fare well either.

Ah Jiu glanced at Emperor Yan again before withdrawing.

Inside Yangxin Hall, Empress Dowager Mo was talking with several ministers. Upon seeing Ah Jiu arrive, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Ah Jiu first bowed, not wasting words, and straightforwardly said to the important ministers, "My Imperial Brother is still in a coma; the Imperial Physician initially diagnosed it as poisoning, and when he will recover is still a mystery. Matters of the court must still rely on you gentlemen. Regarding the Imperial Jue Temple, I have inquired; the Eldest and Second Imperial Sons are gone, and the Third Imperial Prince is gravely injured..."

Bang, Empress Dowager Mo’s teacup fell to the ground, her face turning ashen.
