In Another World, Everyone Want to Kill Me!-Chapter 345: Poisoned Throne

Yue Mingxuan shook his head, he truly hadn’t. But this information felt like a blessing in disguise and an idea quickly formed in his mind.

At present, Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall and the Beggars’ Sect had a mutually beneficial relationship.

The sect’s members spent their days begging, exposed to the elements and living lives that were far from comfortable.

If he could use Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall’s resources to establish systems at the lower levels and giving these people a structured way to contribute to the intelligence network, it might actually be a very effective solution.

Besides, Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall had sold a great deal of information over the years and was far from lacking in funds.

Yue Mingxuan felt that, although Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall already had subordinate networks established in various places, they were far too few.

As an organization dedicated to gathering intelligence, it simply could not afford to be so underdeveloped.

The disciples of the Beggars’ Sect were indeed a flexible and resourceful option, but at the very least, they needed to be provided with a place to stay.

That way, coordinating and meeting with them would become much easier.

However, while the idea seemed simple on the surface, putting it into practice would not be so easy.

Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall already had a limited number of people.

If some were assigned to supervise these new arrangements, it would inevitably create weak points in oversight.

Yue Mingxuan could not possibly monitor everything at all times.

Moreover, this period was precisely when Shang Qinghua’s authority had not yet been firmly established.

If Keshun Sanfeng chose to join forces with Rong Zishen and rebel, it would not be difficult for them to do so.

"This is troublesome... If Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall doesn’t undergo reform, it won’t be able to reliably gather intelligence on Keshun Sanfeng. But if it does reform, that won’t work either..." Yue Mingxuan found himself caught in a dilemma, unsure of what to do.

"Even if you carry out the reform and succeed, it might not make much of a difference," Shang Qinghua said quietly from behind him.

Yue Mingxuan fell silent for a moment, but soon gave his answer.

"Maybe I won’t be able to do much. But at the very least, I can warn you before something happens."

His gaze was firm and his meaning unmistakable.

Even if all he could do was something small, he would continue to do it.

It was the only thing he could do for now.

"Alright." Shang Qinghua nodded. "You can use the people of Black River Society as you wish." He smiled faintly and added, "Keshun Sanfeng won’t dare make any major moves for the time being. The injury my father inflicted on him last time hasn’t fully healed. I believe he won’t act recklessly in the short term."

"If that’s the case, then the emperor’s condition..." Yue Mingxuan recalled that the emperor had also been injured during that incident. Yet he had neither summoned the imperial physicians nor allowed Yue Mingxuan to examine him.

Only now did it occur to him, and he wondered if it might already be too late.

"His body has always been strong. Someone who has trained in martial arts for years won’t be in poor health," Shang Qinghua reassured him. "Besides, my father isn’t foolish. He knows how to deal with his own injuries."

"But I’m a doctor!" Yue Mingxuan protested anxiously.

If anything were to happen to the emperor, the entire nation would be thrown into chaos.

No matter what, he had to examine the emperor personally and ensure that he remained safe.

What shocked Yue Mingxuan was that when he rushed into the palace, he saw a familiar mask.

Even without seeing the face beneath it, he already knew, it had to be Keshun Sanfeng.

That mask, even if reduced to ashes, was one he would recognize without fail.

"What are you doing here?" Sensing danger, Yue Mingxuan immediately stepped in front of the emperor to shield him.

Keshun Sanfeng merely let out a cold laugh, the lips behind the mask curling into a sinister arc.

"You won’t be able to save him. But I won’t let him die just yet, he has to live until the day Rong Zishen returns!" Keshun Sanfeng’s voice was dripping with mockery.

"Damn it..." Yue Mingxuan clenched his teeth, glaring at Keshun Sanfeng’s retreating figure, wishing he could rush forward and tear him apart. But it was obvious he was no match for him.

His Ninefold Celestial Mystery Technique had only just broken through the fifth layer, it’s still far from the final ninth.

"Father Emperor, what’s wrong?" Seeing that the emperor did not look well, Shang Qinghua hurried forward.

He had no idea what Keshun Sanfeng had done before leaving, nor whether the emperor was still alright.

"The pulse is extremely unstable, it doesn’t look good," Yue Mingxuan had already moved to check the emperor’s pulse while Shang Qinghua spoke. His brows knit tightly. "This pulse... it’s very troubling."

"What’s wrong with him?" Shang Qinghua asked anxiously, though he tried not to interrupt.

Yue Mingxuan frowned and said, "If he isn’t treated and properly cared for immediately, he likely won’t last more than half a month."

"Only half a month?" It was as if thunder had struck Shang Qinghua.

The shock left him reeling.

He had only just been reunited with his father was the old emperor really going to leave him so soon?

He quickly asked again, "You mentioned treatment just now..." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"We need to bring Gongsun Xing here," Yue Mingxuan shook his head. "With my current medical skills, I can’t fully resolve this. At best, I can extend those fifteen days into half a year. Anything beyond that will require Gongsun Xing. And during those six months, the emperor must not experience any emotional upheaval."

"How is that even possible?" Shang Qinghua was at a loss for words.

Keshun Sanfeng was bound to make significant moves soon, keeping the emperor’s emotions stable under such circumstances was nearly impossible.
