Chapter 1429
After staring at the bloodstains for a few more seconds, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't linger and strode directly towards the main hall of the Imperial Medical Academy.
At the entrance of the main hall of the Imperial Medical Academy, two imperial physicians were on duty, arranging for medical workers to prepare tools and medicine bottles.
On one hand, they were also preventing too many people from going in, since Physician Xu was currently inside treating Wei Wu's wounds caused by firearms.
They could stop others, but this time it was the emperor himself who came, which made them not even dare to speak.
Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang wasn't completely ignorant. When Wei Wu chatted with him, he would talk about all sorts of miscellaneous knowledge.
This included the medical aspect; Zhu Yuanzhang knew about bacteria and infections, so he did not force his way in.
He stopped in front of the main hall, turned to the two imperial physicians guarding the entrance, and asked:
"Is the Duke of Zhenguo receiving treatment inside?"
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang had no intention of forcing his way in, the two imperial physicians breathed a sigh of relief and immediately responded.
"Yes, Your Majesty. The Imperial Physician is treating the Duke of Zhenguo's injuries inside, so he ordered the two of us to guard the door."
"To prevent too many people from entering and exiting, bacteria..."
At this point, the two imperial physicians prepared to explain to Zhu Yuanzhang the seriousness of the bacterial infection.
However, before they could finish speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand to interrupt them.
"Alright, we know about microorganisms. The Duke of Zhenguo has told us about this. We just want to ask you, Duke of Zhenguo, is your life in danger?"
Upon hearing this, the two imperial physicians exchanged a glance. They had often heard Physician Xu talk about Wei Wu and knew how important he was.
They understood Wei Wu's importance in the emperor's heart, but that was precisely why they hesitated and didn't know how to bring it up.
After hesitating for a moment, the two finally spoke.
"Your Majesty, the Duke of Zhenguo's condition is not optimistic. We do have experience in treating injuries caused by firearms."
"But the firearms used in this attack on the Duke of Zhenguo were not the old kind; they were more like new firearms from the Academy of Sciences, with extremely powerful projectiles."
"Furthermore, when the Duke of Zhenguo was brought here, he had already lost a lot of blood. The Imperial Physician said that we must prepare for the worst."
Upon hearing the two imperial physicians' answers, Zhu Yuanzhang stood silently in place, seemingly deep in thought.
But the palace servants who knew him well behind him were already starting to feel afraid, because they saw Zhu Yuanzhang's clenched fists.
In the past, whenever Zhu Yuanzhang was in this state, many people would die, which represented the emperor's overwhelming rage.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang was not the only one filled with rage; his eldest son, Zhu Biao, who was known for his benevolence, was also filled with anger.
But unlike Zhu Yuanzhang, who was suppressing his anger, Zhu Biao was venting his rage.
Not long after leaving Fengxian Hall, Zhu Biao knew that Wei Wu was likely sent to the Imperial Hospital, but he chose to go to the Imperial Prison instead.
Zhu Biao knew very well that he couldn't be of much help even if he went to the Imperial Hospital, so he might as well do something else.
For example, find the assassin who escaped from the secret agent of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and said he wanted to kill Wei Wu.
The assassin has already escaped, so the only way to find relevant clues is to start with Guo Huan, with whom we had the most contact.
Therefore, Zhu Biao did not go to the Imperial Hospital but came to the Imperial Prison, and immediately took Guo Huan out of the cell upon entering.
Guo Huan was still wondering why the Crown Prince had suddenly interrogated him, but when they met, he saw Zhu Biao's gloomy face.
Before he could even speak, the Imperial Guard who had brought him out struck him, causing his face to contort in pain.
Guo Huan felt incredibly wronged. He had already confessed everything, so why was he being treated this way?
