Yan Jie ordered his men to bring this old lady away, and in a blink of an eye, there was no one left in the palace.

Zhou Ye straightened himself and jumped up from the bed. He touched his chest and panted heavily. Fortunately, they had moved fast, or else he might not be able to hold it in any longer.

"Continue lying here. This King will be leaving first." Yan Heshen brought Zhou Ye a cup of water, and after he recovered, he said.

Zhou Ye waved his hand, indicating that he should do as he pleased.

"Although the people in the palace have been replaced by This King's people, there might be a problem. You should pay a little attention." Lin Yi lowered his head and softly said.

Zhou Ye did not want to get involved in these matters. He only wanted Su Moyu to be safe and not hate him anymore.

To this day, Zhou Ye still felt a pang in his heart when he thought of the look Su Mu gave him. He had betrayed the sincerity of many people in his life, but he was unwilling to let go of only Su Mu.

Zhou Ye agreed and lay back down.

Lin Yi glanced at it and left.

Soon, the seventh day arrived.

At the same time, Lin Yi used his identity as the crown prince to interrogate Su Mu once again. She had lost even more weight, becoming so skinny that only skin and bones remained. He had clearly told the justice courts to look after her, but she was still growing thinner.

The case of Bao Fu Yun was still in the midst of quarreling. No one could come up with any new evidence and no one was willing to accept it.

Only the emperor's illness was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Lin Yi placed the Emperor in a secret passage within the Eastern Palace. Dozens of Night Pearls were placed all around him, making the entire space as bright as the sun.

Lin Yi stood beside the emperor, nervously looking at him. As the most critical link, the emperor must wake up.

The old man held a silver needle in his hand, and his eyes were like torches, needle after needle, slowly but surely stabbing into the emperor's flabby skin.

This time, the old man had expended a great deal of energy and energy to place the needles. Not a single mistake was allowed to be made; every single needle would determine the life and death of the emperor.

There was still one more shot!

The old man's forehead was already covered in sweat, but he didn't have the energy to wipe it off. The others also didn't dare to approach him, afraid that they would distract him.

The pin was like a march. It went down in one go, then it went down, and it went out in three.

The old man took a deep breath and picked up another needle. Compared to the previous needle, this one was thinner and shorter.

Lin Yi looked at the old man's hands and quickly understood where the old man was going to attack.

It was a dead end.

Lin Yi gripped the jade bone fan in his hand tightly. Based on his trust for the head of the Shennong Valley, he didn't say anything to stop him. After all, if even the Valley Master of Shennong failed, then there would be no one in this world who could save him.

The old man was not affected at all as he slowly continued the injection at the same speed.

The needle was blocked by his skin. It slightly bent, as if it would break at any moment. However, the needle was also very tough. Soon, it pierced through the skin and stabbed into the skin.

When the last shot was done, the old man finally relaxed his taut muscles. The old lady stepped forward and wiped the sweat off the old man's forehead with a warm cloth.

Alive? Dead?

The Emperor lay on the bed, his eyes closed and motionless.

"He'll probably have to sleep for another day. You just have to wait." The old man's voice was weak. Lin Yi didn't know if it was an illusion or not, but he felt that the old man's gray hair had become even whiter.

The more time passed, the less life force the patient had. In order to gather the poison in the Spirit Devouring Powder, he not only used a large amount of elixirs, but also dipped his own blood essence into the tip of the needle.

"Valley Master should go rest." Lin Yi and the old lady supported the old man out.

After Lin Yi had settled the old man down, he returned to the Eastern Palace. In the next two hours, one secret order after another was sent out from the Eastern Palace.

Soon, Yan Ling, who was standing outside the palace, also received the news.

"Are you sure?" Yan Shen sat on the teacher's chair, Song Luo sat beside him, and there was a person kneeling in front of him.

"Your servant saw with her own eyes the old lady being tied up and thrown out by the guards while shouting 'spare me'." Even though that person was wearing a regular uniform, from the sharp voice and the pretense of emphasizing it, it was possible to guess that this person was a palace eunuch. "This servant also heard the sound of teacups, teapots and vases falling on the floor, and a few faint cries and howls."

After hesitating for a while, the eunuch said with a fawning smile, "However, this is just a servant's guess. The crown prince had the imperial guards seal up the palace with the imperial guards. No one can enter, and the crown prince has not rung the bell."

Song Luo said with a calm expression, "According to my guess, it should be in the next few days."

"It seems like Lin Yi is planning on keeping this a secret." Yan Hen said thoughtfully. He didn't even want to use a proper title anymore, he just directly called Lin Yi.

"Be careful when you sail for ten thousand years." Song Luo reminded him.

"Since you said that this poison can only be cured by the Valley Master of the Shen Nong Valley, and the Valley Master of the Shen Nong Valley has his own teachings, you can't have anything to do with the Imperial Court. To Lin Yi, this was a dead end. We will win for sure! "

Song Luo also felt that he was overthinking things. He smiled faintly and said, "It's late today. Let's enter the palace tomorrow."

I will take what I owe back, and no one can stop me.

The next morning, a sudden news disturbed Yan Hen's plans. Su Mu, who was in the prison of the Supreme Court, made a request to ring the Heaven Tremor Drum to sue for his wrongdoings. The paper skipped him and was answered by the crown prince.

As the chief assistant of the cabinet, he had controlled the imperial government for many years. During the time when the emperor was in a coma, he had also achieved a high degree of centralization of power. Even though Lin Yi had come back and unrestrainedly pulled his men off their horses, it did not hurt their fundamentals. Most of the people who could speak were still his people.

"How were the documents issued without my permission?" Yan Sen slapped on the table with an angry look on his face.

The Supreme Court official bowed his head and replied, "The Emperor once gave the crown prince a token. I hope that the crown prince can do something in his name."

No matter how much power the assistant chief held in his hand, it was nothing compared to the emperor's promise.

"This official only received the news this morning." The justice court's official's face was bitter and innocent.

"Where is Su Mu now?" Things had already happened, and there was no point in pursuing these matters. Yan Sen could only hope that this would not disrupt his plans.

Knocking the Heaven Shaking Drum was a big matter. The criminals would circle around the city and beat the gong to let everyone know about it. For many things, even if Yan Hen dared to do them, he would not dare to do them in front of the common people of this world.

The people were ignorant, and their ideas were easy to change as long as they did not see it with their own eyes. But once they saw it with their own eyes, some ideas went deep into the hearts of the people, and the more ignorant they were, the harder it was for them to change their ideas.

The justice court's official said, "This official rushed here as soon as he received the news. Su Mu has probably already been sent out of the justice court and is on his way."

"What do I need you for! Wouldn't he stop them for a moment? The justice courts are your territory. " Yan Heshen hated himself for failing, why had he chosen such a fool to replace Su Shao.

How long had it been since he entered the Supreme Court, and how many people had been causing problems for him? Yan Sen's words were quite relaxed.
