The doctor knew that if he told the truth, he might die faster, so he naturally denied it.

Even though he felt pain in his neck and the smell of blood lingered at the tip of his nose, he insisted that he had never seen the King.

"If you are willing to tell the truth, I can still let you go, but since you are stubborn and unyielding, don't blame me for being merciless."

The man in black increased the strength in his hands again, trying to threaten the doctor, but his companion who was in charge of keeping watch outside suddenly spoke up to remind him.

"Oh no, someone is coming this way, most likely coming for us, you go and deal with it, I'll take him away first."

The man in black inside cursed, "Damn it, how come they came so quickly? They are all staring at the movements of the East Palace."

As he spoke, he put away his sword and quickly exited the carriage. Sure enough, he saw several people coming from the air, and he immediately drew his sword to meet them.

Another man in black took the opportunity to whip the horse whip, drove the carriage and took the doctor away. The doctor lost his balance and fell into the carriage.

There were three people who had just arrived, also dressed in similar black clothes and masks. One of them held a big knife, and the other two held swords.

The one holding the big knife ordered them, "Go and chase them quickly, don't let them get away. I can handle it here alone."

Two men in black holding swords used their lightness skills to chase the carriage, but before they caught up with it, two more men in black suddenly appeared halfway along the road.

The two of them were stopped and could not continue chasing. They could only watch the carriage go farther and farther away until it finally disappeared.

The first man in black drove away in a carriage, but a horse caught up with him from behind, and sitting on the horse was another man in black.

He rode as fast as he could, and when he was about to catch up with the carriage, he suddenly jumped from the horse's back and landed lightly on top of the carriage.

The man in black who was driving heard the noise and turned around, only to see a flying knife coming towards him. He quickly turned his head to avoid it, but a second knife came at him.

The man in black on the roof of the car threw several flying knives in succession, then took the opportunity to draw his sword and started fighting with the man in black who was driving the car.

The doctor was tossed around in the car, and when he heard the sound of weapons clashing outside, he didn't dare lift the curtain to take a look.

He now regrets it so much that his intestines turn green. If he had known that coming to Shengjing was so dangerous, he would never have rashly entered the capital just to become famous.

Because the man in black who was driving the carriage had to deal with the black men who were approaching, he was unable to drive, and the horses lost control and ran away again, carrying the carriage.

But he couldn't jump off the carriage, as the doctor would escape or even fall into the hands of others, causing his mission to fail.

So the two men, one on the armrest and the other on the roof, fought for a long time. In the end, the man in black on the roof had the upper hand.

He struck the opponent's throat with one strike of the sword, completely taking his life. He ignored the out-of-control carriage and rushed into the carriage with the sword in his hand.

The several waves of people who came were all dressed the same and wearing veils. The doctor didn't know which wave the person in front of him was from.

He covered the wound on his neck and was waiting for the other party to ask him questions, but unexpectedly, the other party cut his neck with a sword without saying a word.

"You..." The doctor opened his mouth and widened his eyes, leaving only this one word. He didn't know who wanted to kill him until his death.

The man in black flew out of the carriage and kicked the horse on its butt. The out-of-control horse accelerated instantly and galloped away with the carriage.

He walked back and found the horse he had ridden was still waiting there. He mounted the horse and continued forward and saw three bodies.

Next to the corpse stood a man in black, but he had pulled off his veil, revealing his true face: a man with a full beard.

The man in black glanced at the body on the ground and said, "What a pity, we lost one person, but the doctor is dead, so at least we have accomplished our mission."

The bearded man bent down and picked up a corpse on the ground. It was his companion, and he wanted to take him away so as not to leave any clues to the enemy.

The man in black jumped off the horse and asked him to put the body on the horse's back. He then led the horse forward and another body appeared on the ground.

This is where the men in black initially fought. Apparently one of them has escaped. Five of the eight men in black who appeared this time have died.

The man in black who was leading the horse asked, "I wonder who that survivor belongs to?"

The bearded man pulled off the dead man's veil and said, "We can't even tell who the bodies on the ground are, let alone the people who ran away."

***

That afternoon, at the Prince's Palace.

Shuying came forward to report, "Master, our people are too late, and the doctor is dead."

Chu Xuanchi sent people to protect the doctor after learning that he had left the capital, but unfortunately, he was still one step too late.

Shuying continued, "Besides the driver and the guards, there were four bodies on the ground, all dressed in black and masked."

"If it was someone from other parties, they would at most just interrogate the doctor and would not take his life. This seems more like silencing him."

Wuying knew the truth about Chu Xuanchi's visit to the East Palace yesterday, but he did not believe the prince, and now he even suspected that the prince had killed someone to silence him.

Shuying confirmed with Chu Xuanchi, "Master, do you think the doctor's death was caused by the prince's men?"

Chu Xuanchi felt a little guilty towards the doctor, "Even if it wasn't the prince's own intention, it definitely has something to do with him."

The doctor knew too much, and for the prince's benefit, the queen and the right prime minister's office would not let him leave alive.

Shuying quickly thought of this, "I understand."

Wuying asked Chu Xuanchi, "As for the Crown Prince, if something similar happens again in the future, will the master still go to the East Palace?"

Chu Xuanchi sighed softly, "Forget it, I don't want to harm other people's lives anymore."

Shuying left the study after reporting to the doctor, while Wuying remained inside and worked with Chu Xuanchi.

Not long after, Huaying's voice suddenly sounded outside, "Master, the princess is here to bring you ginseng soup."

Mo Zhaohua has been taking care of his body. In addition to secretly giving him acupuncture and medication, he also pays attention to his daily diet.

During the past year, the palace sent many precious supplements. She made soups for him in different ways, but she didn't dare to give him too much.

After getting Chu Xuanchi's consent, Mo Zhaohua brought in the ginseng soup and sat on the chair specially placed next to him.

Chu Xuanchi picked up the ginseng soup and drank it while telling her, "Zhao Zhao, the doctor is dead. He died because of me."

Zi did not kill Bo Ren, and Bo Ren died because of Zi. He has been unable to get over this ever since he learned of Bo Ren's death from the doctor.

Mo Zhaohua noticed that he was in a bad mood when he came in, but he didn't have time to ask him anything, so there was no need to ask any more questions now.

Knowing that he blamed himself for the doctor's death, she naturally wanted to comfort him, and her mind immediately became active.

"The doctor would not come to Shengjing for no reason. Since he came here, he must have something to ask for. If it's not for fame, then it's for profit."

Mo Zhaohua thought of an excuse, "So the doctor did not die for her husband, but paid the price for her own interests."

Wuying had also advised Chu Xuanchi, but to no avail. Now he immediately agreed, "Princess is right, Master, please take it easy."

Seeing that his frown had relaxed a little, Mo Zhaohua said softly, "My dear husband, please don't worry about it anymore. Think about how to entertain the guests tomorrow with me."
