Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort

Chapter 287: Chapter 287: Where Is the Young Lord’s Face? (8)

Mu Qingge was indifferent to Qin Jinhao’s change in attitude.

As for the cause of Emperor Qin’s illness, she was the only one under the heavens who knew it best.

Because Emperor Qin was not sick, but poisoned.

The person who poisoned him was Mu Qingge.

And the timing of the poisoning was the banquet held in the palace a few days ago. The legacy of the Dan God included not just the Alchemy Technique but also many Poison Techniques, and the relics of the Beiming Old Man were full of toxins.

Nowadays, Mu Qingge could poison without a trace.

Moreover, she could ensure that the Imperial Physicians would never find any clues.

Poisoning Qin Cang was merely a way to fuel the actions of the Crown Prince and Prince Rui. They could afford to continue their standoff; she didn’t have that luxury.

Now, listening to Qin Jinhao’s words, the implications seemed to suggest that he suspected the Han Faction had imprisoned Qin Cang, and Mu Qingge couldn’t be bothered to explain, instead following his guess and saying, ”Hmm, if the Han Faction has tampered with it. As long as there’s any accident with Your Majesty, Qin Jinxiu’s succession as Crown Prince would be a matter of course.”

After speaking, she looked at Qin Jinhao sympathetically, as if to say, when the time comes, you won’t matter anymore either.

Throughout history, those who failed in a royal succession struggle had only one outcome.

Qin Jinhao understood this very well.

He slammed the table in anger, his face darkening slightly, ”How preposterous! Father clearly has become dissatisfied with Qin Jinxiu and wants to depose him from the Crown Prince position.” If Qin Jinxiu succeeded, all his efforts would have been in vain.

”Yet this edict of deposition has never had the chance to be issued.” Mu Qingge reminded him of a cruel fact.

Qin Jinhao’s face paled.

Looking at Mu Qingge, he asked, ”Qingge, what should we do now?” At this moment, he had put his full trust in Mu Qingge. He had even begun unconsciously to rely on her.

If someone had told him once, in the future he would rely on Mu Qingge to achieve great ambitions, he would have scoffed and mercilessly executed that person.

”What do Prince Rui’s advisors say?” Mu Qingge asked, her eyes sparkling.

”Them?” Qin Jinhao frowned, expressing dissatisfaction, ”They’re just a group of useless people. Apart from telling me to continue entering the palace to see Father, what other ideas can they have?”

”And what does Prince Rui want to do?” Mu Qingge leaned forward, her clear eyes blazing with an aggressive light.

Qin Jinhao was stunned for a moment and responded without hesitation, ”Does Qingge not know my intentions by now? If I lose now, everyone who follows me will find it hard to survive intact.” After speaking, he shot Mu Qingge a slightly warning glance.

Mu Qingge smiled disdainfully, unconcerned by his meaningless threat.

She leaned back against the chair, curling her lips into a smile, ”Currently, what Prince Rui lacks most is time, while the Crown Prince lacks nothing but time. Whether His Majesty is truly ill or being held captive, we do not know. However, one thing must be confirmed, and that is to see His Majesty.”

Qin Jinhao furrowed his brows tightly, feeling somewhat dissatisfied with Mu Qingge’s words.

Mu Qingge gave him a glance and said playfully, ”If soft won’t work, we go hard.”

Qin Jinhao’s eyes flashed, immediately asking, ”What do you mean by hard?”

”His Majesty is ill, and even his closest Consort Jiang is difficult to meet; then surely it’s even harder for other ministers to see him. And if Prince Rui has repeatedly failed to see him, combined with His Majesty’s previous dissatisfaction with the Crown Prince, we have every reason to suspect His Majesty is being held captive by the Crown Prince’s faction. As a prince favored by His Majesty, entering the palace to rescue him wouldn’t be inappropriate, would it?” Mu Qingge’s cold voice contained a deadly allure.
