Chapter 1117 Prince Li's Extra: Murong Kai Is Poisoned

Murong Zheng thought that his anger would make Concubine Dong restrain herself and let her know her bottom line.

But she ignored another possibility. She was paranoid that the emperor's anger towards her was all because of Murong Kai.

So, she decided to take his life while he was sick.

Concubine Dong invited the most trusted imperial physician on the grounds that she was not feeling well. The two talked privately for a long time. When the imperial physician left, he looked satisfied, and Concubine Dong was in a good mood.

As long as Murong Kai died, there would be no more barriers between herself and the emperor, right?

Of course, it would be best to blame all this on that hateful bitch.

Thinking that all the worries were gone, Concubine Dong felt that her future life would be smoother. The emperor's favor would eventually allow her to defeat Queen Sun and become the real master of the palace, and her own Jie'er would become the future emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

So, when she heard that Murong Kai was poisoned and his life was at stake, she showed a smile on her face, proud and arrogant.

Murong Zheng, who got the news at the same time, froze there with a pen in his hand for a long time without any movement.

"Your Majesty, the Third Prince is afraid..." Seeing that the Emperor did not move, the young eunuch could not help but speak again.

Murong Zheng looked up and looked at the trembling young eunuch with panic in his eyes.

"The imperial physician said that the Third Prince was poisoned by Zui Beichun from Bei'an this time. He will die within three hours."

"Immediately summon Qu Jingze, the envoy of Bei'an, to the palace and ask him to send the antidote for Zui Beichun."

Murong Zheng threw away the pen in his hand after he finished speaking and hurried to Murong Kai's bedroom. Several young eunuchs followed him, all trembling with fear. They had followed the Emperor for many years and had never seen the Emperor so flustered.

Before reaching Murong Kai's bedroom, Murong Zheng suddenly stopped and turned around and ordered: "Take Murong Jie to the Third Prince's bedroom."

The young eunuch who followed Murong Kai took the order and left, but the doubts in his heart became heavier. What is the relationship between the Third Prince's poisoning and the Fourth Prince? Besides, Concubine Dong loves the Fourth Prince the most, so she won't let him go to the Third Prince's palace easily, right?

The little eunuch didn't expect that his worries would come true. When he told Concubine Dong about the emperor's order, Concubine Dong's first reaction was: no.

"Akai is dying, why do you want Jie'er to go there? Go tell the emperor that Jie'er is still young, so it's better not to see a dead person." Concubine Dong was very sure. In her heart, Murong Kai was already a dead man.

"My Lady, it's the emperor's order. If you do this, the servant..." The little eunuch was very embarrassed, but he was also sure that Concubine Dong would not let him take the Fourth Prince away.

"You have to respect the emperor's order, so you can pretend that you didn't hear what I said, right?" Concubine Dong spoke again, her tone full of impatience.

She felt that the eunuchs around the emperor were really hateful. The emperor just gave her a warning, and they didn't take her seriously.

"Go kneel outside. I don't want to see you."

Dong Guifei didn't drive the eunuch back, because if the eunuch went back, it would mean that she was disobeying the emperor's order. She kept the eunuch in her palace for other reasons. When the matter was over, she would let the eunuch take the fourth prince away. Then she would not only obey the emperor's order, but also protect the fourth prince.

Yes, it was protection.

Her intuition told her that Murong Kai's bedroom was dangerous for his son Jie'er.

At this time, the dangerous place in Dong Guifei's heart was in a mess.

A doctor was taking Murong Kai's pulse, and the remaining dozen doctors were kneeling on the ground tremblingly. Kneeling with them were all the eunuchs and palace maids in the bedroom.

Murong Zheng stood by the bed, looking at the pale boy lying on the bed. His dying look pierced his heart like a needle, making him feel pain every time he breathed.
