The Emperor pushed him away and said, “It’s not poison; it’s tuberculosis.”

“What? Tuberculosis?” King Rui was stunned when he heard this.

“It’s similar to a chronic poison. I’m afraid I won’t last long.” When the Emperor said this, he covered his mouth and coughed again.

“Doesn’t the imperial physician have any way to treat it?”

“He said that he could only alleviate the symptoms. At present, no one can cure this illness.”

“Only those in better conditions could drag it out for a longer time.”

“How long has it been? Why hasn’t there been any improvement?”

“About half a month. At first, I thought it was caused by a cold and didn’t pay much attention.” The Emperor turned around and coughed again.

Then he looked at King Rui and said, “You’ve already seen what kind of morals the First and Fourth have. I’m afraid the country won’t have a good ending if it falls into their hands.”

“The only person I can trust now is you.”

Then, he looked at Xiao Heng and said, “Xiao Heng, you will assist King Rui in eradicating their forces in the palace as soon as possible.”

“If…

“Cough, cough, at the very least, reduce the casualties.”

“Yes, this subordinate will definitely do his best to assist King Rui.” Xiao Heng nodded.

“Go now. Eunuch Li is coming.” When the Emperor said this, he looked at King Rui and said, “Protect yourself and your child. Go.”

King Rui looked at him with a complicated expression, then stood up and walked out with Xiao Heng.

When they arrived at the resting place of the imperial guards, King Rui entered the room. After confirming that there was no one in the room, he looked at Xiao Heng and asked, “Chief Xiao, have you checked the cause of the Emperor’s illness? How did he suddenly get this kind of illness?”

“Imperial Physician Zhou suspected something but didn’t find any clues. This is why the Emperor felt that the other princes had started to act.

“That’s why you are now a cicada shedding its shell.”

“I see. I’ll have to trouble Chief Xiao next.”

“You’re welcome. From tomorrow onward, you’ll have a new face. I hope you can control your emotions and not arouse any suspicion.” Xiao Heng took out a ball of something and clumsily smeared it on his face. Soon, a hardened man’s face formed.

“Chief Xiao, when did you learn this?” King Rui asked curiously.

“I think you know that the court official’s disguise incident was investigated by me. The Emperor felt that it was useful, and asked me to learn this.”

“I didn’t expect that it would really be useful one day.” King Rui commented ironically.

“I hope I never need it, but here we are. You can sleep in an hour. Remember to come out early tomorrow morning.” After Xiao Heng finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.

King Rui sat in front of the table and looked at the hazy moonlight outside. His heart seemed to be covered with a layer of something.

He couldn’t see through the Emperor’s thoughts, so he didn’t know if the Emperor had other plans.

However, for now, he could only decide based on the situation.

The next afternoon, after he finished his shift, he found his people and quietly asked someone to send a letter to Butler Feng.

After a round of interrogation, Butler Feng did not get any useful information other than finding a few more spies.

Just as he was in a fit of anger, he heard that there was a letter from the palace and immediately left the dungeon.

After reading the letter and knowing that everything was going well for His Highness, Butler Feng burned the letter.

Then, he said to the prison guard beside him, “Continue the interrogation. As long as they don’t die, continue.”

“Don’t worry. We’ll definitely pry open their mouths as soon as possible.” The prison guard replied with a firm expression.

Butler Feng thought of the stubborn faces of those spies and finally gave up persuading them. Instead, he rushed to eat breakfast.

After dinner, he found Gu Wanning and said, “Your Highness, I need your help with something..”
