Chapter 415 They're about to be exposed.

The Emperor of the Northern Desert successfully replaced Lin Litang's commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard with one of his own, while Gao Changhong left the palace with a sullen face.

"Someone, go and find out what the Emperor has been doing lately, and also investigate his health."

After returning home.

Gao Changhong immediately ordered people to investigate.

Soon, the investigation results were delivered to him. As he looked at the results brought to him by his subordinates, his brows furrowed into a straight line.

"This kid is starting to have ambitions. He's been meeting with so many court officials behind my back, including those old fogies who are at odds with me!"

He's a dying man with no descendants. This Northern Desert will belong to me in the future, what's the point of him doing this? Wait, are you sure the imperial physicians examined the Emperor?

Suddenly, Gao Changhong sensed something was wrong.

The imperial physician said that the emperor's health was still the same, but he had recently shown signs of a brief resurgence of energy. However, the emperor did not appear to be experiencing a resurgence of energy at all; on the contrary, he looked radiant and recovered from a serious illness.

In the past few days, he has been trying to win over ministers who are at odds with him. Could he have also bribed the imperial physician?

So, the imperial physician helped him lie?

Gao Changhong was a suspicious person by nature, and the more he thought about it, the more he believed it.

So he sent one of his men to sneak into the palace late at night and take the emperor's pulse while he was asleep.

Then, he naturally learned that the emperor's poison had been completely cured.

"No wonder! I wonder who solved it for him. Men, go and investigate again all the people the Emperor has been in contact with recently. There must be some who have slipped through the net!"

Gao Changhong gave another instruction.

He couldn't let the emperor continue to grow stronger, otherwise, where would he find a foothold in the Northern Desert?

In the following days, the Emperor of the Northern Desert not only attended court every day, but also gradually took back the memorials that originally needed Gao Changhong's review.

He wanted to gradually strip Gao Changhong of his power.

Gao Changhong naturally wouldn't stand idly by and watch all this happen, so three days later, the emperor was in trouble again.

"puff!"

"Your Majesty, what's wrong? Someone, quickly summon the imperial physician!"

The Imperial Study.

The Emperor of the Northern Desert was reviewing memorials when he drank a cup of pre-rain Longjing tea to quench his thirst. Soon after, he spat out a mouthful of blood onto the memorials.

The palace servants attending him were so frightened that they immediately summoned the imperial physician.

"Your Majesty, you...you've suffered a relapse of your old illness!"

After taking the emperor's pulse, the imperial physician said with a look of fear.

"impossible!"

Upon hearing this, the emperor's already weakened expression changed drastically.

His poison has clearly been cured, so how could his old illness relapse?

"Imperial Physician, please treat the Emperor quickly!"

At this moment, a eunuch standing nearby urged them on.

The imperial physician looked troubled. "Your Majesty, I can only prescribe some mild and nourishing medicines. I am not capable of completely curing your condition. Also, Your Majesty must not overexert yourself, or your condition will worsen!"

"You, get out! Someone, call...call Su'er in to serve you!"

The emperor angrily cursed at the imperial physician and tried to send him away, saying that the physician was incompetent and couldn't cure him at all.

Su Er is Su Liluo's alias in the palace.

Soon, Su Liluo arrived before the Emperor.

The Emperor first dismissed the palace servants, and then asked Su Liluo to examine his body.

"Your Majesty, you have been poisoned again, and the poison is even stronger than before. If it is not cured, you probably only have one month to live!"

Su Liluo said seriously.

"It must be the Regent. He saw that I was feeling better, so he had someone poison me again!"

The Emperor gritted his teeth and said.

"What did His Majesty eat today? Where was the poison put?"

Su Liluo asked again.

"I just drank this cup of Longjing tea."

The Emperor's gaze fell upon the teacup on the table.

Su Liluo picked up the teacup, examined the color of the tea, and then sniffed it. She immediately confirmed that it was a cup of poisoned tea.

"That's right, the poison was indeed put in this."

"You'd better help me cure this poison first. Once I'm cured, I'll settle accounts with the Regent!"

A ruthless glint flashed in the Emperor's eyes as he thought of using this opportunity to bring Gao Changhong down. Poisoning the Emperor would be a serious crime for him.

Since it had always been Xiao Ye who was in charge of administering acupuncture to men, she called Xiao Ye over this time as well.

The two worked together and quickly suppressed the poison in the emperor's body, but the detoxification process would need to be repeated later.

"Someone, summon the Regent to the palace!"

After Gao Changhong's complexion and energy gradually returned to normal, the Emperor of the Northern Desert immediately sent someone to summon him to the palace, intending to take this opportunity to bring him down from power.

"Your Majesty, no! You don't have any evidence that he did it. Doing this will only alert him."

At this moment, Xiao Ye spoke up to offer advice.

"He even poisoned me! This poisoned tea isn't even finished yet, and having it here is solid evidence. This time, I'm determined to bring him down!"

The Emperor of the Northern Desert spoke with a cold face, completely ignoring Xiao Ye's advice.

"Your Majesty, you should think twice before acting. This cup of poisoned tea is not enough to bring down the Regent."

Su Liluo also felt that Xiao Ye was right. Gao Changhong was definitely not such a simple person. This poisoned tea would probably not be able to bring him down. He must have other plans behind the scenes.

However, the Emperor of the Northern Desert was very stubborn at this time. Having tasted some benefits in the past few days, he refused to listen to them and insisted on summoning Gao Changhong into the palace.

"I wonder what business His Majesty has summoned me for?"

Gao Changhong showed no surprise at being summoned by the Emperor, only slightly astonished when he saw that the Emperor was unharmed.

He was now quite certain that there was a very capable person hiding by the emperor's side.

His main goal is to find that person.

So, after paying his respects to the Emperor, he glanced at Su Liluo and Xiao Ye, who were standing beside the Emperor.

Su Liluo and Xiao Ye naturally sensed Gao Changhong's suspicions and both adopted a cautious and timid attitude, not daring to look him in the eye.

She knew they were about to be exposed.

"Your Highness, I have been poisoned today. Someone has poisoned me. Who do you think is so audacious?"

The emperor exuded youthful majesty, and the hostility in his eyes was quite obvious.

Someone like Gao Changhong could see through it at a glance, but he remained calm and said, "Who is so bold as to poison the Emperor? This matter must be thoroughly investigated!"

"I agree. This cup of poisoned tea is right here. I just need to order people to investigate the source of this tea and find out who has been in contact with it."

The emperor glanced at the poisoned tea on the table, a determined glint in his eyes.

In his view, this cup of tea was the best evidence that someone wanted to harm him. As long as he investigated along the lines of this cup of tea, he was sure he would find out the Regent's weakness.
