Chapter 1298: Leading the snake out from its hole

The Supreme Emperor fainted suddenly from a strange illness, and Imperial Doctor Xu was assassinated and seriously injured. These two incidents must be related.

After treating the wound, Bai Zhi immediately found Zhou Awu and immediately said: “The murderer took away a medical book. His goal is not Imperial Doctor Xu, but the Supreme Emperor.”

Zhou Awu was stunned, and asked anxiously: “What do you mean by that?”

Bai Zhi said: “You may not know that after Imperial Doctor Xu came back from Yuqing Palace, he was looking for a book, a book that might explain the strange disease of the Supreme Emperor. But as soon as he found this book, he was assassinated and the book was also taken away. When we arrived, Imperial Doctor Xu was already unconscious, fortunately, we came in time and rescued him just now.”

Imperial Doctor Xu was just an imperial doctor, and he was practicing the path of goodness in curing diseases and saving people. Where can he make enemies? He won’t get in anyone’s way.

Unless, some people don’t want him to cure the Supreme Emperor, or don’t want him to find out why the Supreme Emperor became like this.

Zhou Awu suddenly said: “I understand.”

Bai Zhi didn’t know much about the situation in the palace, and she didn’t want to say much. She only expressed her thoughts and guesses, and she didn’t say anything more. She just wanted to cure Imperial Doctor Xu. When he was completely awake, he said it was impossible to tell the appearance of the assassin.

Thinking of this, Bai Zhi made a plan and immediately said to Zhou Awu: “The assassin killed Imperial Doctor Xu. Unfortunately, he didn’t expect Imperial Doctor Xu would be so stubborn and survive. So, if Imperial Doctor Xu is not dead, the assassin will strike again.”

Zhou Awu’s eyes brightened: “So, you mean to lead the snake out of the hole?”

Bai Zhi nodded, with a slight smile on her face: “How to do it, you can figure it out for yourself. There is only so much I can help you with.”

Zhou Awu grinned: “Although it’s just a few words, it’s very useful. Zhi’er, thank you, I’ll go to work first, and you should be more careful.”

Before leaving, he asked the two guards of the Imperial Dragon Guards to protect Bai Zhi and make no mistakes.

Zhou Awu went to report to Chu Yan, and the two discussed a few words in front of the Supreme Emperor’s bed. After confirming that the method of leading the snake out of the hole was feasible, he asked Zhou Awu to do it.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Awu led people to squat for a whole night, and most of the guards from the Imperial Hospital were withdrawn, which can be said to be a good time for the assassination. But those people seemed to have completely disappeared, and there was no trace of them.

The people on the other end who were investigating the palace didn’t have any clues either.

It was as if there was an invisible and powerful hand controlling everything.

A person who wants to commit crimes in the palace and be able to do it in a watertight manner must have considerable influence in the palace.

There were quite a few masters in the palace, apart from the Emperor, there are also some concubines of the Supreme Emperor, and the Empress Dowager who has been neglected for many years.

If the Empress Dowager was not under house arrest, she must be the first to suspect.

But the current Empress Dowager, because her son was exiled and imprisoned, she has lost power in the palace for a long time, and she has long-lost her former glory. Those who used to obey her orders have long since left her.

If she wanted to do such a case in the palace, the Empress Dowager will not be able to do it.

Who else?

Zhou Awu’s eyes fell on several concubines of the Supreme Emperor.

Imperial Concubine Meng was gaining power and had a young son by her side. She has no reason to do this. The other concubines also have sons and daughters, and they live a good life in the palace. If the Supreme Emperor dies, what will happen to them? What would be the benefit?

To commit a crime and kill a person, there must first be a motive.
