When the imperial physician heard this, his face instantly turned dark.

He had secretly obtained that packet of medicine from outside the palace, and he knew very well its toxicity.

Just now he was forced to swallow the whole packet of medicine——

Within half an hour, he will bleed from all seven orifices and die.

Moreover, when he first found the poison, he never thought that it would be used on himself. Moreover, this poison is extremely difficult to cure. Even he himself has not been able to prepare an antidote so far.

Oh my god, where did this eunuch come from!

The imperial physician cursed inwardly, and when he thought about the fact that he would not live long, he looked at Rong Sheng with even more resentment.

"Why, instead of thinking about how to save yourself, you still have the time to glare at me?"

Rong Sheng took his feet off the imperial physician and pressed some acupoints on his body. The man became unable to move instantly.

"My two moves can only help you extend your life for an hour, which is also a chance for you to forgive your sins. If you want to survive, think about how to explain it to Concubine Wei."

After saying that, Rong Sheng quickly walked to Concubine Wei's bed.

One of the two palace maids who were standing guard nearby has fainted from fright.

The other one was trembling against the bedpost, staring at Rong Sheng as if he were a monster: "You, which palace are you from, why are you here, and why are you rude to Doctor Zhou?"

"Miss, don't be surprised. I'm just a doctor invited from outside the palace by Prince Ming." Rong Sheng realized that her jumping up and down just now was indeed reckless. She tried to calm her tone and said, "I happened to see this imperial physician poisoning today, so I took action to stop him."

"Poisoning?" The maid was even more surprised after hearing this. "Imperial Physician Zhou is the director of the Imperial Hospital. How could he possibly harm the Empress?"

"Are you an assassin who is trying to harm the queen by confusing right and wrong? Someone come..."

Rong Sheng had originally stretched out his hand to feel Concubine Wei's pulse, but seeing that the palace maid was unusually uncalm, he could only quickly press a few acupoints before she could scream.

"I told you to calm down, but now, don't even think about moving."

Rong Sheng shook his head, glanced at the door, and found that there was no movement.

It was finally quiet.

She sighed with relief, calmed herself down, and then placed her hand on Concubine Wei's wrist.

After a while, as if he had the answer in his mind, Rong Sheng slowly withdrew his hand, feeling a little scared.

If he had come a minute later, even if the imperial physician had not poisoned him, there would have been no way to save him.

Her heart tightened and she hurriedly took out the silver needle from Doctor Zhou's box.

After carefully checking the needle and finding no problems, she quickly inserted needles into various acupuncture points on Concubine Wei's body.

After an incense stick of time, Rong Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Concubine Wei with needles all over her body.

Then, she cut the fingertips of Concubine Wei's right hand, and thick black blood slowly dripped down the fingertips.

"Humph, they are really vicious." Rong Sheng looked at the color of blood and couldn't help but snorted coldly, "It seems that they have already started poisoning since Concubine Wei returned to the palace."

It was unknown how much time had passed, but just as Rong Sheng was staring at Concubine Wei's fingers, Concubine Wei, who had been sleeping for a long time, quietly opened her eyes.

"you......"

A hoarse voice sounded beside his ear, and Rong Sheng finally came to his senses and looked hurriedly towards the bed.

"Empress, you're awake!" Rong Sheng looked at Concubine Wei with sparkling eyes, like a happy little deer.

"It's you..." Concubine Wei slowly raised her eyelids, felt the silver needles on her body, and looked at Rong Sheng's face enlarged in front of her eyes. Finally, she regained some spirit, "It's you who saved me."

"This is what a common woman should do as a queen." Rong Sheng asked in a concerned voice, "Queen, is there anything else that makes you uncomfortable?"

Concubine Wei's complexion had become somewhat radiant at this time, and her eyes had become bright. She looked at Rong Sheng's face, feeling deeply moved.

A few years ago, she was seriously ill and was saved by General Shen's treatment.

This time, although her appearance has changed drastically, she still comes without fear of danger...

"Is this palace already terminally ill?"

"Don't think too much, Madam. You are blessed with great fortune and will live a long life."

"However," Rong Sheng changed the subject, glanced at Doctor Zhou on the ground and whispered, "Your Majesty, Doctor Zhou is the director of the hospital, but he poisoned the medicine. This matter is very serious and needs your personal decision."

"Poison?" Concubine Wei's eyes gradually brightened, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "No wonder the more I drink this medicine, the heavier I feel. It turns out that the prescription you wrote was replaced by them a long time ago."

"I should have thought of this earlier," Concubine Wei felt that she was now clear-headed. After signaling Rong Sheng to remove the silver needle, she slowly sat up and said to Rong Sheng, "Thanks to you this time, I will reward you handsomely in the future."

Then she looked at Doctor Zhou on the ground and signaled Rong Sheng to untie his acupoints.

"Doctor Zhou, I have no grudge against you. Who is the person behind this?"

Doctor Zhou had just been kicked to the ground by Rong Sheng, and his back was in great pain. He knelt on the ground, holding his waist, with a look of grievance on his face: "Your Majesty, please understand. I have been the director of the hospital for many years, and I have never been ordered around by others. It's just that your body is weak to begin with, and the original prescription is too strong, which will only backfire."

Rong Sheng curled his lips as he listened, thinking that even now Doctor Zhou still refuses to plead guilty, it seems he is really not afraid of death.

"Your Majesty, perhaps there is no need to ask. This Imperial Doctor Zhou just swallowed the poison that he prepared. It seems that he is determined to die. I don't think we can find out anything from him."

"Oh?" When Concubine Wei heard Rong Sheng's words, she immediately understood, "Doctor Zhou, you have to think carefully. This is your last chance."

"......" Upon hearing this, Doctor Zhou's eyes became vague.

He knew that if he didn't receive immediate medical treatment, he would soon die.

And judging from the eunuch's technique, he must be an expert in detoxification.

However, you can't have your cake and eat it too. If he gives away the person behind the scenes, not only will he be killed, but his entire family will also die.

"Please have a look, Your Majesty. I definitely did not poison you." Doctor Zhou bit his back teeth and said firmly.

When Concubine Wei heard this, she turned around and exchanged glances with Rong Sheng.

Rong Sheng's eyes flickered, and his tone was filled with sarcasm and contempt: "Imperial Physician Zhou, no wonder you fought with your mentor for so long, but the position of Director of the Imperial Hospital was never yours."

"Now it seems that you are indeed inferior to others in skills."

When Doctor Zhou heard this, he looked up at Rong Sheng in surprise and asked, "Who is your master?"

Rong Sheng curled his lips and smiled: "My master is Feng Zhongpei, the director of the Imperial Hospital back then."
