Empress

Chapter 56 How to explain to the emperor

Rong Cheng was short of breath, "Why are you?"

Imperial Physician Pan looked back at the palace servants outside the secret room, and lowered his voice, "The emperor asked me to come." Rong Cheng paused, "Guan Hongfeng...he came too?"

Imperial Physician Pan nodded, knelt in front of Rong Cheng, and rested his hands weakly on his wrists.From the perspective of outsiders, this famous doctor is seeing Rong Cheng.

"After the emperor found out that you were missing, he searched the palace all over, and killed two servants to vent his anger." Imperial physician Pan said in a low voice, "Later, a eunuch died in Yuquan Mountain. The emperor guessed that you did it, so he sent someone to search for it." I have searched all over the capital, but there is still no news."

Rong Cheng was silent for a moment, "Then how did he guess that I was here?"

Physician Pan said: "The emperor sent someone to investigate the envoy, and found that he was the son of the prime minister of the Chi country, and he was an old acquaintance with you, but now he is a member of the Gong country of Xiangyang, so naturally he can only hide you. it's here."

A thought flashed through Rong Cheng's mind, and he suddenly realized something, his palms were sweating, and his dark eyes were fixed on Imperial Physician Pan, "Could it be that you did the emperor's poisoning?" up.

Yue Cang drank deer antler and bullwhip all the year round in order to strengthen his yang, but he also wanted the best ingredients, which were not available in the city, so he had to bring them in from outside every time.After Imperial Physician Pan learned about it, he took the opportunity to tamper with the antler and bullwhip.

Most people in the Western Regions can't cure the strange poison. Guan Hongfeng guessed that Yue Cang would recruit famous doctors to treat him, so he asked Imperial Physician Pan to enter the palace with the excuse of curing the disease, and find an opportunity to rescue Rongcheng.Rong Cheng couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

No wonder Imperial Physician Pan appeared in the palace, it turned out that all this had been planned long ago.

"It's not suitable to stay here for long," Imperial Physician Pan said, "I want to take you out as soon as possible, the emperor is still waiting outside."

Rong Cheng was silent for a moment, and saw Imperial Physician Pan take out a black pill from his cuff, which exuded a strange smell.Imperial Physician Pan said in a low voice: "After taking this medicine, there will be symptoms of bleeding from the seven orifices, which can temporarily deceive the outsiders." Rong Cheng looked past Imperial Physician Pan and looked at the palace servants at the door, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, he opened his mouth to eat Down the pill, leaned against the wall and took a breath.Sure enough, it broke out in less than a cup of tea.

The fresh and dazzling blood dripped on the cuff, Imperial Physician Pan's face changed, and he turned to the palace people outside and said, "No, this man is suffering from a sudden illness."

When the two palace servants outside the door heard this, they were frightened out of their wits.

You know, they are guarding the secret room these days, and the food is also given by them. If this male pet is infected, then they... the palace people are in a hurry, and begged the doctor Pan to see them too. Not also infected.

Physician Pan appeases them, and after he has dealt with Rong Cheng, he will come back to treat them, but don't announce it loudly, otherwise they will be the next to die.The palace people were frightened, they couldn't stop nodding, they didn't dare to yell anymore.

After all, many imperial physicians have died these days, all because they looked down on illnesses.They are just slaves, their lives are worth less than ants.

Physician Pan said: "The emperor ordered that all people with infectious diseases be dragged out of the city and burned. You go and find a cart for me, and I will send them out." Soon, the cart was found.

Physician Pan put Rong Cheng on the cart and covered it with a white cloth, the blood on his face soon seeped out, turning into plum blossoms.He pushed the cart to the gate of the palace, but was stopped by guarding guards.

Physician Pan said, "This man has a sudden illness and cannot be saved. Your Majesty sent me to send him out of the city and burn him."

The guard hesitated for a moment, "But we haven't received the order."

Imperial Physician Pan said calmly, "I am serving by Your Majesty's side, and His Majesty personally told me."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask His Majesty, but if you delay the time and the disease spreads, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear the charge." The two guards looked at each other, stretched out their hands to lift the white cloth, and looked at Rong Cheng's face full of displeasure. The appearance of blood, already seriously ill, half dead.After deliberating for a moment, they let it go.

Physician Pan pushed Rong out of the city with a cart.

The city gate was left far behind, he looked back and said to Rong Cheng who was on the cart: "Get up."

The white cloth was slowly lifted away, Rong Cheng opened his eyes, his face was stained red with blood, his eyelashes were also stained with blood beads, but his skin was as white as snow, and Imperial Physician Pan looked dazed for a moment.Rong Cheng sat up, wiped the blood off his face with his sleeve, and looked back, he had successfully left the city.Physician Pan came back to his senses, and turned his eyes with a guilty conscience, "I'm afraid the matter will be revealed soon, let's go."

Rong Cheng nodded and got off the cart. He had no strength and staggered when his feet touched the ground. Fortunately, Doctor Pan helped him in time.

"The Emperor Longyan is furious, you..." Imperial Physician Pan glanced at the direction of Lin Zi, hesitated for a while, "After you go back, you should follow the emperor, admit your mistake, so as not to suffer." He walked into the woods with the help of his arm. "stop!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind.

Rong Cheng turned his head and saw Su Xi standing in the distance with a long sword in his hand, glaring at the two of them angrily.Imperial Physician Pan's expression changed, and he subconsciously stood in front of Rong Cheng, "Long Ji, you go first." He said without looking back, "There is a path in the forest, go straight, the emperor is waiting for you there." Behind him Rong Cheng didn't respond, Imperial Physician Pan thought he didn't hear, so he repeated it again.Rong Cheng still stood still.

Physician Pan was in a hurry, "Long Ji, if you don't leave, it will be too late!" Rong Cheng suddenly pushed his hand away and walked towards Su Xi.

"Dragon trick!" Physician Pan shouted anxiously from behind, and then looked back at the forest not far away, feeling very anxious, not knowing what he wanted to do.

Su Xi looked at Rong Cheng who came before him, and said blankly: "You are in the same group." Rong Cheng nodded, "Yes."

Su Xi glared viciously at Imperial Physician Pan who was not far away, "So there is no strange disease at all, but you guys did it?" Rong Cheng didn't explain that he only knew about it after the fact, but it's not important.

In Su Xi's eyes, his silence was an admission, and he sneered: "If Your Majesty knows that you dare to poison him, he will definitely kill you." Rong Cheng said flatly: "He can't kill me, I have to go." Su Xi said, "I'm still here." Rong Cheng said firmly, "You can't." Su Xi laughed angrily, "Why do you think I can't?"

"Because you hate Yue Cang," Rong Cheng said, "You don't like men, but he forces you to become a male favourite."

Su Xi was extremely annoyed, "Fart!"

Rong Cheng looked at him: "I'll ask you again, do you want to go with me?"

Su Xi held the sword tightly, his veins were exposed, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm leaving, Guan Hongfeng will not let me go, and neither will Yue Cang." Rong Cheng pondered for a moment, "You help me kill Guan Hongfeng, Let's leave here together and go to a place where no one is around." Su Xixi's face was a little loose, and after a long time, he shook his head, "I don't, I don't want to give up my current position of power." Rong Cheng didn't persuade anymore, his tone became calmer, "I want to go, I won't stay here to humiliate him." Su Xi put the sword against Rong Cheng's throat.

Rong Cheng didn't panic in the slightest, and looked at him calmly, "If you kill us now, Yue Cang will definitely die." Su Xi stared into his eyes with resentment, hatred, and a trace of ambiguity complicated.After a long time, he said: "Give me the antidote, and I will let you go."

Rong Cheng guessed that Su Xi would back down, if Yue Cang died, all the things he owns now would disappear in smoke. "Doctor Pan, give me the antidote." Rong Cheng said.

Seeing the situation, Imperial Physician Pan reluctantly took out the antidote from his cuff and handed it to Rong Cheng.

The porcelain vase was ice-cold, and it came from Rong Cheng's palm to Su Xi's.

Rong Cheng retracted his five fingers, grabbed the porcelain bottle before Su Xi put it into his cuff, and suddenly said: "He humiliated you like that, you should let him die."

Su Xi lowered his eyes and remained silent, watching Rong Cheng put the antidote into his hands, then turned and left.Rong Cheng and Physician Pan left.

The moment he walked into the forest, Rong Cheng turned his head and saw Su Xi standing there, looking in his direction, his tall figure felt somewhat lonely.From now on - don't be too wide.

The wind whipped up, like a beast in the dark waiting for an opportunity in this dead forest.Physician Pan was walking ahead when he suddenly noticed that there was no movement behind him.

When he looked back, he saw Rong Cheng standing there with his head down, wondering what he was thinking.Imperial Physician Pan wondered: "What's the matter?" Rong Cheng raised his head and stared at Imperial Physician Pan.

Imperial Physician Pan was even more at a loss, and raised his hand to touch his face, "Is there something on my face?" Just as he finished speaking, he heard Rong Cheng say, "Let's part here." Imperial Physician Pan's expression changed suddenly, "Long Trick!" Rong Cheng was unusually calm, "I won't go back again."

For him, whether it is Yue Cang or Guan Hongfeng, any place with them is like purgatory on earth.

Physician Pan shook his head, and hurriedly said: "Don't be impulsive, you don't know how much the emperor has put in so much effort to save you... As he said, he approached Rong Cheng, but the other party took a step back.

Imperial Physician Pan saw Rong Cheng's determination, a thin layer of sweat oozed from his forehead, and his throat tightened, "Long Ji, if you do this, how can I explain to the emperor?" Rong Cheng had already thought up an excuse for Imperial Physician Pan , he spoke slowly, clearly and concisely: "Just tell Guan Hongfeng that I died in the palace and the body cannot be brought out." Imperial Physician Pan smiled wryly, "Long Ji, do you really think this excuse is better than the emperor's?"

Rong Cheng said: "Guan Hongfeng cannot enter the palace, as long as you insist that I die, he will only think that Yue Cang killed me and will not make things difficult for you."

Doctor Pan looked at Rong Cheng's pale face, with bright red blood stains on his clothes, thinking of the inhuman torture he had suffered in the palace before, his heart softened a bit.Rong Cheng said in a low voice, "Just let me beg you, let me live."

Imperial Physician Pan's expression was complicated, and his breathing became unsteady. He stared at the dead leaves under his feet, which were crushed and covered with thick soil.Unreasonably reminiscent of the appearance when entering the palace, fresh and beautiful.Now it's like a walking dead.

Just when Physician Pan made up his mind to say that word, Rong Cheng suddenly noticed the staring eyes beside him. He turned his head and saw Guan Hongfeng standing a few steps away, looking at the two of them gloomyly.
