In the prison of Feiyuwei, the crown prince Li Jinze curled up in a dark and damp corner, depressed.

At this time, there was a sudden noise outside, and a jailer opened the door, and Gu Yunji walked in quickly: "Your Highness!"

"Master Gu!" Seeing Gu Yunji, Li Jinze was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and leaned over with the iron fence, "Why are you here? How's it going out there? Did my father say what he would do with me?"

Since the tiger in the hunting ground injured people, Li Jinze has been locked up, and more than half a month has passed, during which he has not seen anyone, nor heard any news, as if he was isolated from the world. He thinks about it every day, and his mind is full of the tragic fate after being abolished, and he is about to be tortured and crazy.

Gu Yunji looked at Li Jinze from head to toe, and saw that although he was dirty, his clothes were intact, and he didn't look like he had been tortured, so he was silently relieved.

Hearing Li Jinze's words, Gu Yunji felt heavy and said: "The current situation is not optimistic, except for the ministers, all of the East Palace have been imprisoned, and it is said that some of them were tortured during the interrogation, and they were tortured to the point of being inhuman."

"Your Majesty is seriously ill and ignores the government and politics, and the court and the central government are in chaos, although most of them still take a wait-and-see posture to protect themselves, but there are also some people who fish in troubled waters, clamoring to abolish His Royal Highness and appoint King Wu as the crown prince."

"The first assistant of the cabinet said that he was sick and resigned, and he just threw himself away; Gu Yuanhui, the minister's cousin, was suspected of favoritism by Wu Wang's party ginseng because of his relationship with the minister, and under pressure from many parties, he had to ask for suspension and stay at home to avoid suspicion...... Now only the Imperial Party is still running around, trying its best to stabilize the situation."

During this period of chaos, although Gu Yunji was not implicated in prison, he was also very busy.

As the only remaining principal of the princelings, he has to take care of the affairs of the East Palace and appease the remaining officials of the princelings; On the one hand, it is necessary to beware of the open guns and hidden arrows of the Wu Wang Party to prevent them from taking the opportunity to muddy the waters and expand their power; At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the trial of the tiger injury case and find a way to get the people out of the East Palace.

Emperor Jingfeng's attitude was unclear, although Feiyuwei didn't treat Li Jinze well, he still regarded him very strictly, and outsiders were not allowed to visit. Gu Yunji used all the relationships, and his mouth was about to wear out, so he begged for a chance to visit.

Hearing this, Li Jinze's face was gloomy, and he quickly thought of something again, and asked eagerly, "That...... What about the father? It doesn't matter what your father's body is, right? The last time I was in the hunting grounds, I saw him faint, thinking it was due to the fright and exhaustion. Are you getting better these days?"

Gu Yunji couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness when he heard this, his son was still worried about his father's illness when he was in prison, but the father not only didn't care about his son, but he was deeply suspicious of him and worried that he was going to murder him.

Gu Yunji sighed: "Since returning from the hunting ground, Your Majesty has been ill, and he has been in a coma for half of the day, and sometimes he is in a state of delirium when he is awake, and it is difficult for him to come forward to preside over the overall situation in a short period of time."

Li Jinze's mind was shocked, and it was really hard to imagine why Emperor Jingfeng, who had always been majestic and strong, would suddenly become so seriously ill. However, then he thought of a much more terrible consequence than Emperor Jingfeng's serious illness - what would he do if Emperor Jingfeng had an accident?

Will he be directly deposed as the crown prince and demoted to a concubine, or will he be killed by King Wu's party in order to clear the biggest obstacle on Li Jinche's way to compete for the throne?

Thinking of this, a huge sense of fear rose in Li Jinze's heart, and he couldn't help but shiver.

He grabbed Gu Yunji's hand, his face pale: "...... Master Gu, if it is really the general trend that is coming, don't redeem it if it can't be recovered...... You have a meritorious role in saving the driver, and Wu Wang and his party dare not do anything to you clearly, so you might as well withdraw as soon as possible, so as to protect yourself and your family......

"Your Highness."

Gu Yunji felt that Li Jinze was trembling constantly, he pressed the other party's hand, and his tone was calm but firm: "It's not that time yet, and the matter is not as serious as you think. It is useless to say more, but in short, please believe that the minister will do his best."

"Master Gu!"

At this time, an attendant hurriedly ran in from outside, and said anxiously: "His Royal Highness King Zhao came down to spread the word, saying that His Majesty's illness had suddenly worsened, and Fang had just vomited a mouthful of blood, and it was already at this moment

I am unconscious, and I urgently summon you to go to His Majesty's palace to discuss matters."

"What?! Your Majesty vomited blood?"

Gu Yunji's face changed, he stood up suddenly, didn't bother to ask anything else, and after saying a brief goodbye to Li Jinze, he followed the attendant and left the prison.

……

In the emperor's bedroom, Emperor Jingfeng was lying on the bed with a pale face, and the imperial doctor who was checking his pulse on the side had a solemn face, and his brows were kept locked.

After a long time, the imperial doctor finished checking the pulse and sighed heavily.

Zhao Wang Li Rui's heart was almost cold when he sighed at the imperial doctor's tone, and he hurriedly asked, "Imperial doctor, what's going on?" Why did he suddenly vomit blood, brother?"

The Imperial Physician stroked his gray beard and said, "Strange to say, His Majesty's pulse was stable a few days ago, but it has become disordered again for some reason in the past two days. Maybe...... It was the medicine used during this period of time that collided with the pill His Majesty had taken before, which aroused the toxins deposited inside and flared up violently, so he vomited blood."

"Medication conflict?" Wu King Li Jinche frowned and reprimanded, "What are you doing in the hospital? Don't you know that the medicinal properties are not compatible? In my opinion, my father's vomiting of blood is caused by you quacks, and you should all be imprisoned and beheaded!"

The Imperial Physician knelt on the ground tremblingly: "...... His Royal Highness King Wu was angry, not because his ministers were not skilled in medicine, but because there were several herbs that were one of the necessary medicinal materials to seal His Majesty's heart and avoid the spread of pill toxins. If it weren't for this kind of medicine, Your Majesty would have been in a bad situation a long time ago......

"It's just that the medicine is three parts poisonous, Wechen is worried that the medicinal properties will conflict, and he carefully tested it when he first used it, and confirmed that there was no problem, so he added it to the prescription with confidence, but for some reason it suddenly ......."

"Alright, it's useless to talk about that now." Li Rui was irritable when he heard this, and interrupted him, "You just need to tell me, what is the situation of the imperial brother's illness, and can it be cured?"

The Imperial Physician sweated like rain, trembling and said, "...... His Royal Highness King Zhao, please forgive the incompetence of his ministers, His Majesty is now terminally ill, and the poison has invaded the heart, even if he uses more rare medicinal materials, he is just hanging on to his last breath......

As he spoke, the imperial physician closed his eyes and said weakly, "Please also ask His Royal Highness King Zhao, His Royal Highness King Wu, and all the ministers to prepare early."

Li Jinche's face changed, his heart was inexplicably panicked, and he grabbed the collar of the imperial doctor: "What did you say? What does it mean to prepare early? Father, what the hell is wrong with him!"

Thinking of Fang Cai's diagnosis, the Imperial Doctor was sad and scared, and his voice was full of tears: "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty he...... I'm afraid time is running out......
