The Road to Fame as an Imperial Physician

Xie Lingbai thought that he would be liberated if he died, but for some reason, even after death, he still felt uncomfortable. His whole body was in severe pain, especially the burning pain in his fingers and heart, which was hard to ignore.

Thinking about when I had suffered such a crime since I was a child, even if it was a big incident, his father only punished him symbolically, at most it was kneeling in the ancestral hall.

Most of the pain in the flesh came from the injuries he suffered when he was fighting with others, but it was not as serious as this. It was like trying to beat him to death, but he didn't really kill him. This is the most sad thing The place.

After death, it will be over once and for all, and maybe you won't feel the pain that is worse than death.

But after thinking about it, if he died, he would not be able to see Wen Changheng and Xiao Jin, and he was a little bit reluctant. If Wen Changheng and the others found out that he was dead, they would be very sad.

"Master, I hurt..."

He murmured subconsciously, knowing in his heart that he would not get a response this time, and now he was still imprisoned in Xiliu Palace, while Wen Changheng and the others should only be worried outside the palace.

After all, Xiliu Palace is a harem, and the courtiers can't come here just by saying it. Besides, Concubine Liu Gui is so vicious and hates him so much, she will definitely not let him go easily.

Xie Lingbai felt a little desperate in his heart, but just when he wanted to give up, he suddenly heard a gentle voice resounding in front of him: "Be patient, it will be much better if you take the medicine."

Xie Lingbai's heart trembled, and he tried his best to open his eyes. He thought he would see a familiar face, but found that the person who was giving him medicine in front of him didn't know him at all.

He was in a daze, could it be that Concubine Liu Gui suddenly realized her conscience and found an imperial physician for herself?

But after a closer look, he realized that his thoughts seemed to be wrong, because the clothes of the person in front of him did not look like an imperial doctor at all, but more like a jailer in a cell.

He looked around, it was not the secret room just now, it seemed to be replaced by an ordinary cell, somehow.

Although he was not out of trouble yet, he was still more willing to stay in this noisy cell than in the dark secret room.

At least the oppressive feeling here is relatively less.

"I'm still alive..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that his voice was hoarse. Xie Lingbai couldn't help coughing a few times. The hand of the jailer in front of him, which was helping him to apply the medicine, paused for a moment, and responded in a low voice.

"Angkor, he is the criminal who murdered the princess. Why do you give medicine to him yourself? According to me, he can just let him fend for himself."

Another jailer next to him said puzzledly that Xie Lingbai noticed that the clothes of the two of them were a little different, and judging from their attitude and address, the one who was giving medicine to him should be the leader in this cell.

"You also said that he is a guilty minister, and the trial has not yet started. If he dies here, do you think we can get away with it?"

"Uh, that's right, I didn't even think of this, so he must not be allowed to die, Angkor is still thinking about it."

"It's almost time, go and see if the food delivery person has arrived."

"Yes……"

After the jailer left, the man called Angkor carefully put down Xie Lingbai's bandaged hand, and then stepped forward to gently lift off his clothes.

"hiss……"

The flesh on the heart where the iron was burned was connected to his clothes, and Xie Lingbai gasped in pain when he touched it lightly.

"It hurts?"

Xie Lingbai looked at the person in front of him. Although his face was unfamiliar, his eyes and voice were very familiar, which were obviously different from when he spoke just now.

He just gritted his teeth and endured it before, but now he suddenly felt that his eyes were a little wet, and thousands of grievances came to his heart, and he shouted softly: "Master, it hurts."

Wen Changheng's eyes flickered, he didn't expect him to recognize himself so quickly, he raised his hand to take off the disguise mask on his face, revealing a familiar face, and said in a distressed tone: "Xie Lingbai, you will be here soon It's okay, I'm here."

Xie Lingbai nodded, his heart, which was still restless before, settled down the moment he recognized Wen Changheng, he didn't expect that Wen Changheng would come in in disguise to find him.

"Where is this?"

"Heavenly Prison."

"I remember that I was imprisoned in the secret room of Xiliu Palace by Concubine Liu Gui. How could she be so kind and suddenly send me to the prison?"

After all, she is not the one who can make decisions after entering the sky prison. Xie Lingbai felt that Concubine Liu Gui hated him so much that she would not let him go so easily.

"It was ordered by the emperor."

"Your Majesty? How could your Majesty know..." Xie Lingbai suddenly thought of a possibility, and guessed: "Master, is it the Emperor you went to find?"

"Ah."

Wen Changheng used scissors to cut some of his inner clothes, and gently treated the wound for him.

If it was someone else, Xie Lingbai would definitely not say a word, but when facing Wen Changheng, he always yelled when he felt pain.

In the past, when helping other wounded patients to treat their wounds, it was not without crying out for pain, but when the target was changed to Xie Lingbai, Wen Changheng felt so distressed that he almost couldn't control the strength in his hands several times.

When the wound on his heart was healed, Xie Lingbai was also in a daze, and almost passed out from the pain once, when the food delivery person arrived.

"Angkor, the meal is here."

Wen Changheng got up to take the food, returned to Xie Lingbai, sat down directly opposite him, and then opened the drawer. Xie Lingbai, who hadn't eaten for a long time, smelled the aroma of the food and opened his eyes weakly.

"eat something."

Wen Changheng handed the spoon to his mouth, Xie Lingbai didn't even look at what it was, just opened his mouth to taste it, chewed it carefully for a while, and then asked in surprise: "It's ginseng bird's nest porridge?"

"Ah."

"Is the food in the prison so good?"

"Why? Do you want to live forever and don't want to leave?"

Xie Lingbai twitched the corners of his mouth and drank the second mouthful of porridge. In fact, he also knew that Wen Changheng must have explained the food, so he suddenly thought of something and said, "Master, although you are still dressed like a cell boss, you You just took off your disguise mask, why didn't the person who delivered the meal show any surprise when he saw you like this?"

"So you only recognized me?"

"Ok?"

What does this mean?

"The person who delivered the food just now is also one of us?"

It was just a quick glance, and the voice was not very clear, so Xie Lingbai really didn't pay much attention.

"It's Wei Ze..."

"How did you all get in here? Directly tied up the cell leader and the food delivery person? But what if they come out to expose you after the incident? It's too dangerous."

"Don't worry, they are all familiar people."

After drinking a bowl of bird's nest porridge, Xie Lingbai felt that he had finally come back to life, and Wen Changheng took out a bowl of medicine from the bottom drawer.

"so bitter--"

It was bird's nest porridge just now, but now it is soup, the difference is too big, Xie Lingbai felt that it was difficult to accept it for a moment, and frowned and refused to open his mouth.

"Xie Lingbai..."

Xie Lingbai looked up at Wen Changheng, thinking that he would say something to coax her, but who knew he said with a blank face: "You are really unsightly in your current state."

Xie Lingbai: "..." He was so miserable, yet he was ruthlessly rejected!

"Do you want to keep going?"

"What do you mean?"

"Even if you don't drink the medicine, the burn on your heart will heal, because the medicine is applied, but..."

Wen Changheng let out a big gasp, Xie Lingbai stared at him nervously, thinking that this but the latter is the key.

"But what?"

"Hands may be useless."

"what?"

He moved subconsciously, his ten fingers felt a sharp pain, and he asked bitterly: "I can still feel the pain, isn't this useless?"

"If you don't drink the medicine, it will be useless sooner or later."

Xie Lingbai was speechless for a while, so were these threats just to trick him into taking the medicine? !Why can't you coax him a few words for the sake of his misery!

"cruel!"

He opened his mouth to take a sip of the concoction, his whole face wrinkled in pain, glanced at the second spoonful he handed over, and said helplessly: "You should just pass the bowl over and let me dry it in one gulp, like this It was torture by the spoonful."

Wen Changheng smiled, and blew the medicine juice in the bowl until it was at a suitable temperature, then handed it to Xie Lingbai's mouth, and supported his neck to let him drink it down slowly.

"It's really bitter, didn't you prepare candied fruit for me?"

"What do you think this is?"

"You can even send someone to bring in such good food without being noticed, so is it difficult to hide a few candied fruit?!"

Xie Lingbai didn't really want to eat candied fruit, but the wound hurt badly, so he deliberately said something to divert his attention.

Originally thought that he would be reprimanded by Wen Changheng again, who would have thought that he would suddenly get up and get closer, stretching out Xie Lingbai slightly in surprise, feeling Wen Changheng's extreme, a little bit of bitterness in his mouth.

After the kiss was over, he couldn't help but look around, thinking that it might be because his sin was relatively serious.

So the locked place is not surrounded by wooden fences like ordinary prison cells, but has three walls, and only the frontmost side is surrounded by wooden fences.

"Is it still suffering?"

Xie Lingbai shook his head, and said with satisfaction: "This is much better than candied fruit."

Wen Changheng put the medicine bowl away, then sat beside him, and said softly, "If you're sleepy, you can rely on me to rest."

Although Xie Lingbai fell asleep for a long time before, but because his body is relatively weak now, and the medicine he drank has a calming effect, he is still a little drowsy.

He leaned against Wen Changheng's arms, feeling that he was not in a sky prison, and fell asleep peacefully without saying a few words. Wen Changheng waited for him to fall asleep before carefully helping him to lie down, and covered him with a thin quilt .

Although it was summer, the temperature inside the dungeon was naturally not as good as outside because it was dark and humid.

"Master..." Xie Lingbai muttered, "It really hurts..."

Wen Changheng patted him on the back lightly, and said in a low voice, "I know." After the people became quiet again, he got up, put on the disguise mask, and walked out of the cell.

As soon as he stepped out of the cell, the warmth in his eyes dissipated in an instant, replaced by a bone-chilling chill, which frightened the few jailers who were joking outside.

"Now do you know when the arraignment will be?"

One of the jailers came to his senses and said, "Angkor means Xie Lingbai? It seems to mean the day."

"tomorrow?"

Wen Changheng frowned. According to Xie Lingbai's current situation, he was not suitable to go to court at all. How could he stand up to these tossings? He had to find a way to push back.

"You guys are on guard, and there must be no accidents."

"Yes……"

Among these jailers, there were some of their own, so Wen Changheng felt relieved, he left the sky prison after explaining, and the jailers breathed a sigh of relief after he left.

"What happened to Angkor today? It feels like a different person."

"I don't know, I just think that the murderous intent is very strong, but it may just be because this case is more involved, so I should pay more attention to it."

"But which prisoner in our prison today did not commit a felony, and I have never seen Angkor so caring before."

"It doesn't matter, let's take care of it."

"Right……"

The few jailers didn't dare to continue to be loose, and went to do their own work one after another. They only hoped that this case would be settled quickly. Such a murderous Angkor really made people feel a little uncomfortable.
