The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 230: The king was poisoned.

The magic horses rushed to the royal castle from the port in the blink of an eye. They left chaos in their wake, scattering everything that was in their path. As soon as they arrived inside the royal castle, the gates were sealed shut to keep people out.

The Lord mage was picked up from his house by red knights. The way he was grabbed, it was akin to kidnapping as they rushed him to the royal castle, straight to the royal hospital.

It had been emptied out and red knights were guarding it as though it was a barracks. Even before entering the hospital, the Lord mage had a dreadful feeling that something had gone terribly wrong with the king. Aside from the queen and crown prince, such a fuss would not be made for anyone else.

He found the king on a bed in a room that already smelled of herbs and blood. Six royal doctors and three nurses were running around like headless chicken to find a solution to treat him.

They were nervous and they could not be blamed for it. Treating the king was a major thing, one wrong move and you could lose your head. It did not help that the red knights were staring at the doctors wit menacing and threatening eyes.

"What happened?" the Lord mage asked as he pushed his way through the doctors at the king’s bedside.

He took a closer look at the king who was shirtless. There was a huge slash across his chest. The Lord mage had seen enough sword injuries to know that a sword had done this. It had cut deeply, damaging some veins and causing massive bleeding.

There had been an attempt to treat the wound but it had not been sufficient.

"My goodness!!" he exclaimed. "Who did this?"

"Them." A red knight night pointed to Emmah and Benjamin.
