Buddha?

Nan Rongjing had never seen a Bodhisattva who killed people without blinking an eye.

"Your Highness, Elder Yuan has come out!"

The Yulin Guards behind Nan Rongjing recognized at a glance that the person who had just appeared was one of the five ministers of the current dynasty, Minister Yuan.

It was clearly a summer evening, but Lord Yuan was wearing a thick cloak, wrapped tightly from head to toe.

If they hadn't received the tip-off, they probably wouldn't have recognized who this person was.

"Do it!"

At Nan Rongjing's command, dozens of Yulin guards hiding in the surroundings jumped out and headed straight for Lord Yuan and the black gate behind him.

Lord Yuan was startled by the sudden appearance of the Yulin Guards and shouted loudly.

"How dare you! Stop it!"

Several Yulin guards did not show any courtesy and directly tied up Lord Yuan.

The other Yulin guards ran straight to the black gate at the back, kicked it open a few times, and rushed in.

Lord Yuan was still struggling frantically, but when he turned around and saw the Yulin Guards rushing in, all the strength in his body seemed to be drained away and he collapsed to the ground on the spot.

Nan Rongjing walked out slowly and looked down at the court official.

"Master Yuan is well. The Minister of War, Fan Yu, has been waiting for you in the Ya Prison for a long time."

Yuan Ge Lao's wrinkled face drooped, no longer having the spirit of the past.

In just one stick of incense, the Yulin Guards escorted more than ten people out of the gate, led by a burly man with a dark face covered with a full beard.

"Captain Qian, I have long heard of your great name."

Nan Rongjing's handsome face was full of energy at the moment, his eyebrows raised high and sharp as arrows, and he looked at the tied-up man in front of him with a half-smile.

"Bah! Everyone is responsible for their own actions. Don't even think about involving others."

As the big man spoke, his eyes glanced at Lord Yuan who was tied up next to him.

"Oh? Then should I call you Qian Ming or Yuan Ming?"

The big man's expression suddenly changed, and his already dark face became as black as the bottom of a pot.

After letting out a wail, Lord Yuan, who was standing by, leaned over and started crying bitterly.

"Take them all away!"

"Yes!"

Nan Rongjing sat in the carriage, pinched his brows with his jade fingers, looking tired.

He was ordered by Emperor Ming to investigate the case of inferior military supplies in Yanzhou. After interrogating the Minister of War Fan Yu, Nan Rongjing used the clues he got to catch a big fish.

Yuan Zhong, one of the cabinet elders and the Queen's cousin.

Most of the Queen's mother's family members died while supporting Emperor Ming to ascend the throne, and almost all of them were killed.

Up to now, there were almost no available people from the Queen's mother's family in the court, which was why Emperor Ming was so tolerant of the Queen, the Crown Prince, and the six princesses.

In order to express his gratitude to the empress's maternal family for their contribution to his success, Emperor Ming promoted many of the empress's cousins, including Yuan Zhong.

Yuan Zhong is a slippery and worldly-wise man. He is not worthy of being promoted if he does not have great talent.

He is just a supporting role in the cabinet, has no say and only has the title of cabinet elder.

There is one wonderful thing about Yuan Zhong that everyone in the capital knows: he is henpecked.

Yuan Zhong was extremely afraid of his wife, and the reason why this incident could be traced back to Yuan Zhong was precisely because Nan Rongjing first found out about Qian Ming, who was in charge of transporting military supplies.

He secretly transported low-quality military supplies to Yanzhou under the guise of escorting troops.

After further investigation, Nan Rongjing discovered that Qian Ming was actually Yuan Zhong's illegitimate son, born to his mistress.

Yuan Zhong was henpecked and had no concubines or maids in his house, yet he raised such a grown son outside...

Nan Rongjing was looking forward to seeing how Madam Yuan would react when she found out about this.

There is no doubt that Yuan Zhong is a member of the prince's party. Fan Yu, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War who is now under the control of the prince, is also suspected of being involved in the case of substandard military supplies.

Now Yuan Zhong is involved...

I am afraid that the prince will not escape the punishment of Emperor Ming this time.

After all, Yuan Zhong is a cabinet minister and the queen's cousin.

Nan Rongjing imprisoned him in the mansion prison and did not torture him, but he was not so polite to Qian Ming.

He was thrown directly into the cliff prison to be whipped, and Yuan Ge Lao was invited to visit from time to time...

After many days of busy investigation, surveillance, ambush and arrest, Nan Rongjing finally felt a little tired.

Just as I was about to lie down for a nap, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my abdomen.

The clothes are thin in summer, and through the dark brocade clothes, you can faintly see the golden light emanating from the abdomen.

The golden light flickered, and was approaching Nan Rongjing's chest.

The intense pain almost tore Nan Rongjing apart, and he subconsciously reached for his pocket.

Inside was the detoxification pill that Lin Yushu gave him.

However, at this moment, his arms were empty.

Yes, he changed his clothes before going out, and because he left in a hurry, the medicine was still in his previous clothes.

He has always been protected by shadow guards, and the few shadow guards protecting him know that the Crown Prince has an emergency, but they don't know what it is.

The only person who knows is Mu Shang, who should be on his way to Yanzhou at this moment...

Nan Rongjing forced himself to stand up, his whole body trembling with every step he took, and cold sweat flowed down his forehead like boiling water.

The pale, slender hand reached for the pocket of his brocade robe, but there was nothing?!

Nan Rongjing clenched his teeth tightly, not letting even a single moan escape from his mouth.

In addition, he kept the medicine that Lin Yushu gave him for the second time in the drawer of the guard post.

Nan Rongjing walked towards the table again with difficulty and opened the drawer with trembling hands.

Fortunately, these two bottles of medicine are still there.

Nan Rongjing immediately opened a bottle and took a pill.

In an instant, the refreshing pill extinguished the restless pain in his body.

Just when Nan Rongjing finally breathed a sigh of relief, he saw the golden light moving slowly again through the brocade clothes!

This time it was moving downwards, not towards his heart!!

Under Nan Rongjing's shocked gaze, the golden light moved down an inch and then slowly went out.

Nan Rongjing took out another pill from the bottle, looked at it, smelled it, and found nothing different.

He hurriedly searched the house for the antidote pill he had carried with him and finally found it under the closet.

It turned out that it had fallen into the closet. Nan Rongjing poured out a pill and placed the two pills side by side on the table for comparison.

Finally, he discovered the difference between the two pills. The last pill Lin Yushu gave him was a little darker in color than the previous ones.

It has a slightly deeper blue tint, which you won't be able to detect unless you compare it carefully.

Did Lin Yushu change the formula of the pills?

What did she do? Why did the pill this time make the insect move downward?

Nan Rongjing was full of questions. He looked up at the sky and thought, forget it, it’s too late today. He will ask her another day.

It has been fifteen years since the onset of the poison, and today is the first time there has been a sign of improvement.

Nan Rongjing couldn't describe the feeling in his heart. He felt numb, a little bit unbelievable, and a little bit excited.

Maybe, he could really live a few more years.

but……

It is too difficult to survive under Emperor Ming.

On the surface, Nan Rongjing was the nephew of Emperor Ming, who treated him with great kindness and trust. Nan Rongjing also held great power and had the ability to call the shots in the court.

But in fact, Nan Rongjing had been cautious and careful for many years before he earned this little trust.

What's more, Emperor Ming knew that he was in poor health, so he summoned many imperial doctors to treat him, and they all concluded that he would not live past the age of twenty.

There was no need for Emperor Ming to be too wary of such a person. By making use of Nan Rongjing, he could also earn himself a reputation for appointing people based on their merits.

However, if Nan Rongjing's poison improved and his body became healthy, I am afraid that Emperor Ming would immediately become wary of him.

However, Nan Rongjing was not afraid and lived hard for twenty years.

He had already understood life and death, and even longed for death.

Nan Rongjing's sharp eyes turned red, and a bloodthirsty smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

If such a day really comes, he will destroy himself and others together, and will never let those who provoke him have an easy time!
