The Fourth Princess's Gossip System
223
With the help of the soldiers who swallowed the loyalty pill from the Princess, the Prince's Uncle managed to retake control of the main palace. Originally, the agreement between them was that everyone who swallowed the pill would not be able to injure the Princess, and the Prince's Uncle stood as a direct representative of the Princess in this matter. Injuring the Prince's Uncle was equivalent to injuring the Princess, and the punishment was a terrible death.
The Prince's uncle initially thought this success was thanks to the help of the soldiers he had inserted into the Third Prince's elite soldiers. However, as time went on, he realized that this matter had more to do with the Princess' unexpected abilities.
Slowly, this understanding infiltrated the mind of Uncle Prince. He was amazed by his daughter who had extraordinary abilities. All this time, he had never thought that far about the Princess, and now he was even more amazed by the power he possessed.
The Prince's uncle called out to the soldiers quickly, ordering them to enter the Emperor's room and help the Emperor to climb back onto the messy bed. "Quickly, help the Emperor ascend," he said in a loud voice, while his gaze was attentive to the state of the Emperor. The soldiers immediately stepped forward, providing assistance to the still-weak Emperor.
"You guys, check his wounds carefully," the Prince's Uncle ordered the healers who were still standing in the corner of the room with anxious faces. "Make sure the poison is completely resolved."
Meanwhile, the Emperor sat down slowly on the somewhat messy bed, trying to regulate his breath which was still panting.
The healers who had obtained the order immediately approached the Emperor carefully. They examined his wounds closely, looking for signs of improvement from the effects of the poison poisoning his body. His gaze was full of concentration as they worked, trying hard to provide the Emperor with the best help.
While trying to maintain the balance of his breath, the Emperor spoke in a weak voice, "Uncle prince, this Emperor.. This emperor appreciates the help of Uncle prince but.uhuk...."
The Prince's uncle spoke in a soft yet firm voice, "Stop talking, Brother Emperor. You'll get hurt more if you talk a lot." His eyes were attentive towards the Emperor who was still in pain from the injuries he had sustained.
However, the Emperor could not keep the words in his heart. In a stammered voice, he pointed towards Uncle Prince and said, "You've been." Although his voice was weak, the expression on his face clearly showed the disappointment and betrayal he felt.
The Prince's uncle approached the Emperor, trying to give an explanation. "I didn't mean it, Brother. I do it because I want to live."
The Emperor closed his eyes painfully, feeling a deep heartbreak. He understood the intent behind Uncle Prince's words. The Emperor was embarrassed to remember how ambitious he was to become Emperor back then, so he killed several of his other brothers.
Now, did Uncle Prince intend to finish him off.
Ah if Uncle Prince really thinks so then this is a reply for him who was so ambitious with the throne in the past.
The Prince's uncle had no idea what this elder brother of his was thinking. But he was sure his mentality was now so bad 'when he found out if the poison he was suffering from was now. Actually sent by his own beloved son.
"Sister has never been a good brother, but Big Brother is a good Emperor. I never intended to take this throne." His eyes were full of hope and regret. "But today, I did it because the Third Prince had already crossed the line. He's already given you poison. He has also followed in your footsteps in killing his own brothers. But you never thought about killing the Emperor's father, did you?"
The Emperor fell silent, reflecting on his actions all along and the influence that prompted Uncle Prince to pretend to be a foolish man. A sense of regret began to ambush her heart, and although she felt ashamed to admit it, she realized that her mistake had led them to this difficult situation.
The physician who was examining the Emperor, seeing the look of confusion and regret on the Emperor's face, he took a step back and knelt on the ground.
"The original poison was gone from the Emperor's body with the antidote from the prince's garden, but now the Emperor is suffering from the effects of the new poison" he said in a sincere voice.
The Prince's and Emperor's uncles, were shocked to hear the news. The Emperor shifted his gaze from the healer to Uncle Prince, hinting that the situation was becoming more complicated and unpredictable.
Who would have ever thought that the sword held by the third prince actually contained poison as well.
The Prince's uncle asked, "What kind of poison now haunts the Emperor?"
The healer nodded and explained calmly, "The poison that just entered the Emperor's body is a type of poison that is capable of killing a victim in less than an hour. "Ling Mon Tian in his name.The effect is very fast and deadly."
The Prince's uncle heard that explanation, and his expression turned to surprise. Quickly, he ordered the healers present, "Immediately make a new antidote pill to deal with this poison. We must not let the Emperor be threatened."
The healers who got the order immediately moved, taking quick steps to deal with the urgent situation.
The antidote for this poison was named "Zhin' Rensheng".
The poison "Ling Mo Tiandu" is a very deadly poison and is able to kill its victims in less than an hour. These toxins work quickly and damage the system of vital organs in the body.
The antidote for "Zhin'n Rensheng" is an antidote pill designed specifically to counter the effects of the poison "Ling Mon Tiandu". This antidote works by stopping the chemical reactions of toxins in the body, while restoring the affected organs.
The healers worked quickly to make the antidote "Zhijuan Rensheng". They incorporate a variety of natural ingredients that have detoxification and recovery properties. Some of these ingredients include rare herbal ingredients, special plant roots, as well as essential oil blends that have a healing effect.
This antidote must be produced very quickly and given to the patient within 15 minutes of the first time the poison enters the body. If it exceeds that duration, the effectiveness of the antidote will decrease drastically and the antidote can become ineffective, so that the patient's life will be threatened.
The healers worked with great diligence and determination, as the Emperor's life depended on the successful creation and awarding of this antidote. Every second was precious in their efforts to save the Emperor from the deadly effects of the poison "Ling Mon".
"Sir Emperor, calm down the habibs are preparing to save you" said the prince's uncle who was worried to see the current Emperor's skin turning pale. Though it was better after swallowing the antidote to the poison that was considered candy before.
But the Emperor no longer cared about his life or death. He felt like he had accepted his destiny which came with all the consequences. Suddenly, laughter rang out from his lips that were still bleeding.
"hahaha Uncle Prince This is all karma, this is my reward for being greedy and I have to die at the hands of my own son and that too is my beloved son hahaha"
The Prince's uncle and the healer exchanged glances, unconvinced by the Emperor's suddenly changing reaction. Amidst the chaos and uncertainty, the Emperor seemed to have reached the point of enlightenment himself.
The Emperor suddenly felt that something was amiss, a detail that had previously been missed.
As the Prince's Uncle was watching him, the Emperor pondered for a moment and the memory of the old eunuch who had from the beginning arrived at the palace, but had suddenly disappeared from sight, reappeared in his mind. As if an invisible thread was connected to his memory, the Emperor felt the need to find out more about the figure.
With great difficulty, the Emperor listened to the voices of the healers speaking around him, and then he weakly took a breath and raised a trembling hand. "Old eunuch," he muttered in a weak voice, but it was clear enough for the guards who were nearby.
"Old eunuch," the Emperor repeated, his eyes trying hard to stay open. "I remember... He wasn't here in the first place, now... He's missing."
The bodyguard looked confused for a moment, and then his face showed a sad expression. "The old eunuch was found dead in his residence, just a moment ago the great Emperor. We just found out for a while now" he replied in a low voice.
The Emperor fell silent, his eyes round in shock. Everyone in the room felt the changing atmosphere.
The Emperor recalled the expression of the old Eunuch who was always filled with calmness and wisdom. Now, he would never again get wise advice from that figure.
"Dead? The old eunuch is dead" the Emperor muttered.
The Emperor heard the news of the death of the old Eunuch, and in an instant, a sense of haru and sorrow enveloped his heart. How come? He and the old Eunuch only had a few years together, but were so precious every single moment they spent.
The old eunuch had followed him since the Emperor was young, giving invaluable advice and wisdom. Now, he must face the fact that the old Eunuch has been gone forever.
The Emperor tried to visualize the face of the old Eunuch in his mind, imagining a gentle smile that was always attached to his lips. However, in those reflections, his mind slipped into the uncertainty of his own future. The old eunuch had been waiting in the hallway of death .Will he leave over time too?
While struggling against the pain and discomfort caused by the poison within his body, the Emperor felt another shock.
A cure may exist, but can it be prepared in 15 minutes? Even if possible, will the results be just as effective? The Emperor pondered about this bitter reality, and in that reflection, the reflection upon himself was self-disgracing. He began to understand how selfish and too self-focused he had been all along.
While pondering, the Emperor looked at the Prince's Uncle. It was only now that the Emperor realized that his actions and choices had impacted those around him, including Uncle Prince who had suffered from uncertainty and intrigue. The Emperor now felt the meaning of a sacrifice and love that he might have ignored.
A deep regret and a sense of haru filled the Emperor's heart. With the Prince's Uncle, the Emperor wished, he could change the past and avoid all the bloodshed and suffering that occurred.
But now, the Emperor realized that this was the only moment he had to show his sincerity and regret, even if there was no guarantee of a cure.
The Emperor who was lying on the bed, his hands weakly grasped the hands of Uncle Prince tightly. His eyes were focused on Uncle's face
With a slow and hoarse voice, the Emperor began to speak. "Uncle Prince... This emperor pleads with you, please always help Dayun's country to flourish. Don't let a tragedy like the bloodshed of a fellow prince repeat in the future." Those words came out of his lips with great difficulty, but every word sounded filled with sincerity .
"Brother Emperor I will not hide from you but I actually support the 4th Prince He is a prince who does not have great ambitions but I will guide him in order to become an emperor who thinks about the fate of the people"Said the Prince honestly.
if it was the past If he had said this one week ago perhaps the Emperor would have scolded him and said he was stupid and so on.
But right now the Emperor was thinking in the opposite direction.
He said, It is really bad to choose an emperor who has great ambitions like himself at that time.
If indeed the 4th Prince is a man who is considered suitable for the Prince's uncle then , be it.
The Prince's uncle listened carefully, as he felt a tremor of emotion in the Emperor's words. "I promise, Brother Emperor. I will do what I can to ensure a better future for Dayun's country" he replied sincerely.
However, the Emperor could not hide his deep feelings. His wet eyes spoke more than words he could express. "this emperor wished he could see a brighter future for Dayun, although this Emperor can't be a part of it anymore." His voice was weak, filled with regret.
The Prince's uncle gently touched the Emperor's hand with understanding. "Sister Emperor, you have sacrificed a lot for this country. I will never forget your sacrifice."
"Yes, this Emperor has even sacrificed many Princes for this throne.Uncle, you .. do you blame Brother Emperor?"
"If I had faith, the emperor would be more optimistic if it was Uncle Prince who would become the next Emperor."
The Prince's uncle smiled but also shook his head loudly "I appreciate your words, Brother Emperor. But the Princess doesn't want to get involved in politics and I feel the same way. We want to live without the intrigue of the political world "
The Emperor nodded slowly, his eyes fixed on Uncle Prince's face.
"what exactly have I fought for what to have this throne if it ends as it is now?"the Emperor thought in his heart.
He looked once again at the Prince's Uncle and understood Why the Prince's Uncle didn't want to get into the political mud.
Being an Emperor is not as easy as others think.
Not knowing what the emperor was thinking back then but he asked the royal writer to make a special edict.
a decree that may be the last edict written.
By the time the Emperor wrote the edict there should not be a single person around unless people were concerned and the Prince's Uncle was not the one on the list.
So when that happened there were only writers and Emperors in the room while the healers were on outdoor duty.
Although not seen directly but at this time Uncle Prince is sure, if the decree was handed down to choose the fourth Prince as the next Emperor instead of the third Prince.
Will Dayun change?
