Forced to die for his loyalty, he was reborn in the arms of the cold and cruel regent!
Chapter 224: Midnight Murder
The imperial doctors' words were filled with doubt and disdain, and they obviously did not believe that this sudden appearance of Jianghu miracle doctor could have any extraordinary qualities. Doctor Su smiled calmly, and glanced at everyone, with a plan in mind.
"You are all experts in medicine, so you naturally have your own unique ideas. However, everything in the world is interdependent and mutually exclusive. Every poison has its corresponding antidote, but it has not been discovered yet. Although I am not talented, I have seen many rare and precious herbs during my travels, and I have some experience in the way of detoxification."
After hearing what Dr. Su said, the imperial doctors still had doubts, but they did not refute it. After all, the emperor had entrusted him with this important task, and it would be useless for them to say more.
"Then you should get treated quickly, and we will see."
"What? Do you want to steal my skills?" Doctor Su simply drove them out.
Thinking of what Qi Suian said, that he could cure the empress dowager within three days, the more people knew, the better, so he started shouting directly at the entrance of the hall.
"My Lords, please wait outside to avoid affecting the treatment process due to the large number of people. Come back in three days. The Queen Mother will surely wake up and talk to you."
After saying this, he stayed in the Queen Mother's bedroom with a few close friends.
All the imperial doctors looked unconvinced.
"This guy is so arrogant. How could a wandering doctor have such high medical skills?"
"Yeah, let's just wait and see how embarrassed he is. There's no rush."
Everyone walked out while talking. The servants serving in Xingqing Palace lowered their heads and swept the dust and snow in the yard, turning a deaf ear to them.
The Queen Mother's condition is indeed difficult, and she is also old and can hardly hold on. Not to mention waking up after three days, there is a high possibility that she will never wake up in her lifetime.
Doctor Su didn't dare to make any guarantees and could only do his best.
After the first treatment, the Queen Mother's condition improved a lot. At least she looked really healthy while lying in bed.
Fu Qing was pleasantly surprised: "What a miracle doctor."
Doctor Su just smiled and said, "There is a girl named Queyue in your Xingqing Palace. She came in with the princess."
The joyful expression on Fuqing's face instantly turned into alertness: "What do you mean?"
Doctor Su smiled and explained: "Don't worry, the princess and I know each other. It was her friend who asked me to come to the palace and treat the queen mother. Now I am only 50% sure."
Fu Qing trusted him when he heard this, and said with emotion: "The princess is in this state, but she is still thinking about the queen mother. Didn't you just say that the queen mother might not wake up in three days? Now?"
Doctor Su said solemnly, "The Queen Mother is extremely ill. I am only 50% sure that she will wake up, let alone within three days. I am doing this just to let those who are plotting to murder the Queen Mother hear me and expose their true intentions."
"I see." Fu Qing nodded in agreement: "That's a good idea. I'll go call Queyue for you."
When the people arrived, Doctor Su walked out quickly and found Queyue.
The two of them communicated with each other outside the hall.
It snowed the next day. Shen Mengyao was tired and hungry after not having eaten for a day. There was only one meal in prison, which was in the evening.
Occasionally, Fuqing would come over to take care of us, so we could have two meals. It snowed heavily today, and the roads were difficult to walk on, so she didn't come.
There were footsteps outside, and the food box was placed in front of the cell.
"Princess, please eat quickly. I'm late today because of something."
Shen Mengyao stood up and nodded slightly.
Today's food was cold, apparently it had been delayed for too long. She picked up a steamed bun, ate two bites and then felt choked. The girl who served the food hurriedly handed her the bowl of soup.
"This soup was just made from the pot when I left. It should still be warm."
Shen Mengyao took it. The soup was indeed still warm. She gulped down a few mouthfuls and finally felt a lot warmer.
After the little girl cleaned up the dishes, she left in a hurry. However, looking at the half-burned red candle in front of her, she felt her vision blurred.
It was a night of heavy snow and wind, and no one wanted to come to such an unlucky place. Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared outside the cell silently.
The key was pressed into her hand, and the female guard said in a low voice: "Hurry up, I'm on night duty today."
The black shadow sneered: "Don't worry, the master won't miss you."
He took the key and opened the door of the cell, walked up to Shen Mengyao, untied her belt, and wrapped it around her neck.
Shen Mengyao didn't react at all.
The shadowy figure carefully dragged her to the bars of the cell and hung her on the bars by propping her up with her legs.
After doing all this, he let go. In an instant, the belt was tightly around Shen Mengyao's neck, but because of the knockout drug, she didn't react at all, and her life passed away quietly in the dark night.
Tomorrow morning, the people in the cell will find her body. Seeing this, they will only think that she committed suicide out of fear of punishment. At that time, all her sins will be atonement with her death!
The night was so quiet that only the sound of snowflakes falling could be heard. Shen Mengyao's breathing became weaker and weaker, and the eyes that once shone with wisdom and tenacity were now closed, as if all the light had been extinguished.
Just as the shadow was about to leave and thought everything was settled, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence in the cell.
A woman suddenly rushed into the cell, the dagger in her hand flashed coldly, and hit the black shadow's wrist accurately, causing the key in his hand to fall to the ground.
The black shadow cried out, turned around and tried to escape, but was forced to retreat again and again by the woman's sharp sword.
"Who are you, the evildoer, to dare to commit murder here?" The woman's voice was cold, and every word was as sharp as ice.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the black shadow quickly took out a hidden weapon from his arms and threw it at the woman. The woman dodged it lightly and swung her sword back, directly cutting the black shadow's tendons.
The black shadow felt a chill at his ankle and could no longer hold on for an instant. He fell to the ground and his blood dyed the straw red.
The woman quickly stepped forward, untied Shen Mengyao's belt, placed her gently on the ground, took out a pill from her arms and stuffed it into her mouth.
After a while, Shen Mengyao's pale cheeks gradually regained their color and her breathing became more stable.
"Princess, are you okay?" The woman was Queyue. She asked anxiously while checking Shen Mengyao's injuries.
Shen Mengyao slowly opened her eyes. Her vision was still a little blurry, but she could already recognize that the person in front of her was Queyue. "I... I'm still alive?"
she asked weakly.
"Yes, Princess, you're fine." Queyue breathed a sigh of relief, tears flashing in her eyes, "Thanks to Doctor Su's reminder, I was able to arrive in time. Princess, don't worry, we will take this person to see the emperor tomorrow."
A warm feeling surged in Shen Mengyao's heart, and she knew that she had escaped death again.
She struggled to sit up, her eyes determined: "Queyue, I must catch the murderer who hurt the Royal Grandmother."
