Scheming and plotting

Chapter 611

(Unedited)

…

Even though the emperor says that he is not scheming, but his question alone could be called a 'trap' for those people in the large hall. They could immediately see that the young doctor would be faced with two choices.

If he says that he could help cure the emperor, then he would be facing the palace physicians and if he failed, then he would die. Then if he says that he could not, then the emperor would not favor the Ji clan and would instead gain the ire of the imperial court.

Although the people are thinking up to this point, the emperor himself actually does not have such malice. What he just wanted to know if he still has a chance and time to choose his rightful heir. If not then he would just choose immediately today.

But of course, these people did not know that he is what's running in the emperor's mind as they have already known the craftiness of the old man.
