Chapter 1238: Conspiracy!
Translator: Lonelytree
No one present would have thought that His Majesty would appear in such a manner!
His hair was disheveled, and his yellow dragon robe was also disheveled and untidy. His face was haggard. In short, he looked extremely disheveled and in a sorry state. He was not much better than the beggars outside!
This… Was this His Majesty?
No one dared to believe their eyes, and they were even more shocked.
How did His Majesty end up like this?
Especially when he knelt down before Noble Consort Zhou and chanted,” Give me the medicine!”
Everyone looked at Noble Consort Zhou and Yuwen Feiye in confusion!
Concubine Zhou and Yuwen Feiye’s smug faces were immediately filled with panic and fear the moment Yuwen Longyan rushed out.
Especially when Yuwen Longyan directly knelt down in front of Noble Consort Zhou and kept asking for the medicine, the mother and son were so flustered that they almost couldn’t stand up. For a moment, they were at a loss!
Right at this moment…
“Noble Consort, is this what you mean when you said His Majesty was harmed?”
The one who spoke was Zhou Dehong.
He did not expect Yuwen Longyan to appear suddenly.
This was not part of their plan at all.
Fortunately, Yuwen Longyan’s drug addiction kicked in, and he was delirious. He was easy to control!
Otherwise, if the emperor woke up now, it would definitely be very disadvantageous to them.
Thankfully, they had a scapegoat ready in Jiang Zhennan.
The reason why they gave Yuwen Longyan this ” Divine Illusion i ‘ was so that when Yuwen Longyan’s drug addiction acted up, they could control him and make him do whatever he wanted.
This was why they had two imperial edicts without any conditions.
One was to abolish the current crown prince, and the other was to re-establish
the new crown prince.
In fact, what they did was a rebellion to seize power and usurp the throne. Things went smoother than they had expected.
As long as they could get rid of these old fellows, they would definitely succeed in seizing the throne!
However, who knew that those useless things would not be able to keep an eye on the old emperor and actually let him escape?
It didn’t matter if he escaped. Anyway, his drug addiction was acting up, and he was delirious. They could still control the situation.
However, he had never expected that the old Emperor would charge straight at Noble Consort Zhou as soon as he rushed out.
But the biggest problem now was that the old Emperor was actually kneeling down in front of Noble Consort Zhou.
This matter was huge.
In this world, who had the qualifications to make the ruler of a country kneel?
Other than the Emperor’s biological father and mother!
So, what right did Noble Consort Zhou have to make the ruler of a country kneel before her?
What was even stranger was that the Emperor was muttering, “Give me medicine…
At this moment, all their plans were about to succeed, and they could not fail at this moment!
In his desperation, Zhou Dehong thought of shifting the blame to Jiang
Zhennan.
Noble Consort Zhou immediately reacted to Zhou Dehong’s question!
She comforted herself in her heart to not let Guo Mingyi, Chen Zhiliang, and the other old officials see any flaws.
She secretly patted her chest and then calmly knelt down, facing the Emperor. She stretched out her hands and helped the Emperor up.
She looked at her and said in a panic,” Your Majesty, you’re trying to harm me!
Get up quickly. I can’t accept your kneeling!’
Noble Consort Zhou tried to pull the Emperor up.
However, she didn’t know if it was because a weak woman like her didn’t have the strength or because the Emperor didn’t want to get up.
Noble Consort Zhou tried to pull him up a few times, but not only did she fail to pull the Emperor up, the Emperor even flung her hand away and held her hand back. His expression was still pleading and pitiful as he said,” Beloved Consort, I beg you, give me medicine! I really can’t stand this kind of painful torture. Give me the medicine. I’m willing to do anything you want me to do! Give me the medicine.”
A crack appeared on Noble Consort Zhou’s calm face. She then said stiffly,”
Your Majesty, you are mistaken! How could I have any medicine? Jiang Zhennan was clearly the one who drugged you. All these years, he drugged you to control you. Have you forgotten?”
When she said this, her hands were very nervous as she pinched the Emperor’s arm.
Hearing Noble Consort Zhou’s words, the Emperor’s eyes showed a moment of confusion and puzzlement.
Then he said in confusion,” Beloved Concubine, you were the one who gave me the medicine. Why are you bringing up Minister Jiang now?
Hearing the Emperor’s words, the entire place fell silent!
It was so quiet that even the breathing of everyone present seemed to have become the sound of criticism!
“Noble Consort, what is going on?
Duke Guo’s fierce voice suddenly roared as he asked Noble Consort Zhou.
The Emperor’s condition was obviously caused by someone drugging him.
However, the person who drugged him pointed directly at Noble Consort Zhou.
That was why Duke Guo was so angry!
Hearing Guo Gongjue’s fierce questioning, Noble Consort Zhou was stunned at first, but before she could react, Yuwen Feiye shouted angrily, “Guo Mingyi, who are you to question my mother?”
Zhou Dehong was afraid that things would change, so he asked sternly,” Guo Mingyi, aren’t you clear about the situation?” Then, he faced all the ministers and said loudly, “Everyone knows that Jiang Zhennan drugged His Majesty. The Imperial Academy of Medicine said that this medicine could control a person’s mind. The controller could do whatever he wanted to the person being controlled. The reason why His Majesty was like this was entirely because he was under Jiang Zhennan’s control. He must have given the Emperor such instructions.”
This was to say that Jiang Zhennan had instructed the Emperor to kneel before Noble Consort Zhou and say those words.
He gave everyone such an explanation. These officials first looked at each other, then revealed puzzled expressions.
But soon, someone figured out the key.
However, at this moment, more people chose to pretend to be ignorant!
Duke Guo was furious.” Zhou Dehong, do you think everyone is stupid? You said that Jiang Zhennan drugged His Majesty and made His Majesty senile. Your Majesty, do you still recognize me?
The Emperor turned his head around. There was not a hint of confusion on his face. He said with a serious expression, “I recognize you! You’re Minister Guo!”
When the Emperor said this, everyone present was shocked.
Noble Consort Zhou, Yuwen Feiye, and the others were shocked.
They had never thought that the emperor would still recognize someone when his drug addiction kicked in.
Yuwen Feiye’s expression was flustered as he ordered Lin Yincheng,” Take him away!’
Then, he instructed Eunuch Zhang,” Eunuch Zhang, help His Majesty back!”
However, no one seemed to listen to his instructions.
Yuwen Feiye’s face turned ashen!
“Did Lord Lin and Eunuch Zhang not hear the Crown Prince’s orders?” Zhou Dehong’s face sank, but there was a hint of joy!
“Yes, sir!”
The two of them answered.
“Hehe, what a show!”
At this moment, a female voice sounded in the throne room!
