The Road to Fame as an Imperial Physician

"I once asked you if what happened six years ago had anything to do with you."

He Lianzhi's face changed instantly, but Xie Lingbai was confused when he heard what happened six years ago, what happened?Six years ago...referring to Zhou Lan'er's death and Wen Changheng's resignation?

"I've already answered you, it has nothing to do with me."

Wen Changheng looked at He Lianzhi, his voice didn't sound questioning, and he didn't continue the topic just now, he changed the subject and said: "16 years ago, when I first saw you, you were covered in injuries, He fell on the side of the road, almost out of breath."

"It was you who saved me. Without you, I would have died on the side of the road long ago, Xun. I always remember these things firmly and never forget them."

"He Lianzhi..."

Wen Changheng seldom calls him by name. He Lian subconsciously clenched his hands and looked at Wen Changheng with some anxiety, only to hear his sighing voice: "Don't let me think that I saved you. It is the most regrettable thing in life.”

He Lianzhi took a step back, his breath was a little unsteady, and his expression looked a little painful.

"Do you love her that much? I crippled all your martial arts, and even broke the tendon in your right hand. You don't have to hate me, but you say such hurtful things because you suspect that I hurt her, Ah Xun, In your eyes, you can only see her, okay? What about me? Why is there never me?"

In the darkness, Xie Lingbai held his breath subconsciously. He knew that Wen Changheng's martial arts and right hand were disabled, but he didn't know that it was He Lianzhi who did it.

He Lianzhi kept saying he loved him, but why did he do such a cruel thing?

"You saved me, gave me hope at the most desperate time in my life, and let me experience the feeling of being cared for and taken care of by others, which I have never experienced before.

So I never thought about it extravagantly, but once I got in touch with it, I couldn't control it. While accepting it happily, I was afraid of losing it, trembling, worrying about gain and loss, all of which you don't know! "

"So that's why you hurt people?"

"I didn't, I didn't harm her, but I admit that when she died, I was really happy from the bottom of my heart. I thought that without her, you would slowly discover my goodness, but who knew that you wanted her for her?" Resign, because of her collapse, A Xun, I want to keep you by my side.

That's why your martial arts were abolished. At that time, I wanted to cut off the tendons in your hands and feet, so that you could only stay by my side for the rest of your life and could not go anywhere. I really didn't know that you would jump off a cliff...I would rather jump off a cliff, Don't want to stay with me..."

Wen Changheng sighed, he didn't know why things turned out like this, when he rescued He Lianzhi, he felt that he was just a child, but he was injured like that, it was very pitiful, so he begged his master to accept him.

But who would have thought that the timid little boy at the beginning would end up with such a ruthless heart, or even far more ruthless than he imagined.

"The poison that was put on Lan'er back then has never been circulated in the world. It is very likely that it was newly researched. I think if it is, then the person who studied it must have good medical skills."

"So you doubt me?"

"I've asked you twice, and you rejected it both times. I will continue to investigate. I hope your rejection is not a sophistry."

He Lianzhi stopped talking, or didn't know what to say, Wen Changheng gave the order to evict the guest: "I've finished what I want to say, I wonder if you would like to let me be alone here for a while?"

He Lianzhi turned and left the warehouse, and the warehouse became quiet for an instant. Wen Changheng went to the candlestick to light a candle, and then walked towards the door step by step, and closed the door behind him.

With his back against the door, he was silent for a while before he opened his mouth and said, "Xie Lingbai, how long are you going to hide there?"

Xie Lingbai was startled, and slowly walked out from behind the pile of herbs, wondering, "How do you know I'm here?"

Even if he could sense that there were other people in the warehouse, it was impossible to be so sure that it was Xie Lingbai.

"I saw you sneaking into the warehouse just now."

"So you chose to talk to He Lianzhi in this warehouse on purpose?"

"I saw you had this idea."

As Wen Changheng spoke, he waved to Xie Lingbai, and Xie Lingbai walked up to him, unable to tell what kind of mood he was in right now.

"I let you know this because I don't want you to think that there is any possibility for me to be with him anymore. If I want to be with him, I don't have to wait until now."

Xie Lingbai looked gloomy, Wen Changheng reached out and touched the top of his head, and asked, "How is living in the palace?"

"Don't change the subject with me!"

Wen Changheng, who was suddenly attacked, showed a helpless expression, "Okay, what do you want to say?"

"You...are you stupid?"

"Xie Lingbai, you are getting bolder."

"If I knew you were so stupid, I..."

"how are you?"

Xie Lingbai was so angry that he rolled his eyes, but he couldn't say anything decisive. In the end, he just muttered unwillingly: "Why did you forgive him when he treated you so well? If I were you, I would definitely Only by peeling off his skin and cramping his body into tens of thousands of pieces can he relieve his hatred!"

"and then?"

"And then revenge."

"Then my kung fu will be able to come back, will my right hand be restored?"

Xie Lingbai was stunned for a moment, and retorted: "But even so, you can't take advantage of him. Why would he hurt you so much? You saved him, but he almost killed you. This is revenge!"

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now, I heard that you had a drink and chat with Prince Chan last night."

"Are you protecting me or are you spying on me? Wen Changheng, how much eyeliner did you put in Prince Chan's mansion? If Prince Chan knew, he would probably be pissed off."

"He sure knows."

"Then he is not clean and drags people out?"

"You have to figure it out."

"Look at you, I originally wanted to test the rumors last night, but I feel that Chan Wang seems a bit weird. Call him a bad guy, and he seems to be less ruthless. Call him a good guy. He belongs to the queen's party, and he still wants to plot against him, so it's hard to say."

"There is no absolute good or bad in this world."

"They don't seem to be very relieved of me, because they didn't disclose any plans to me, they just let me live in the palace with peace of mind, saying that this would help many people, I don't know what this means, maybe they want to put I took it as a hostage, but who is he going to threaten?"

Wen Changheng pondered for a while, then Xie Lingbai said again: "And what about the emperor? Why did Duanduan abolish Zhao Lingrui's crown prince?"

"The emperor's move can be said to have become the fuse for the outbreak of the forces of all parties."

"fuse?"

"The crown prince is abolished. The queen must be unable to hold back. The other forces that didn't have a lot of chances are also starting to move around, and they all want to fight for this seat."

"You mean Concubine Liu Gui and Concubine Luo?"

"In addition to them, there are also some princes and the like. In short, we must be extra cautious these few days."

"Um……"

"It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, go out first."

If the two of them disappear for too long at the same time, suspicion will be aroused again. Anyway, there is no way to get answers to these questions for the time being, so we can only take one step at a time.

Regarding the matter of abolishing the crown prince, there are also discussions in the court. All forces are now waiting for the opportunity to move. On the contrary, the protagonist of the incident is very leisurely.

Zhao Lingrui sat in the East Palace all day long, reading books and painting. It seemed that this incident had no effect on him at all. Every time the queen saw him like this, she felt a feeling of hatred.

"Rui'er, you don't go to see your father either."

"So what if I see the father?"

"You have nothing to do, you were deposed as the crown prince for no reason, shouldn't you ask for an explanation?"

"Empress Mother, Emperor Father is the ruler of the world. Whoever he wants to pass the seat to is up to him, and the ministers can't change anything. Now we are waiting for the emperor's decree to see when the ministers will move out of the East Palace. "

"You...you really have to piss off your mother before you can feel at ease!"

Zhao Lingrui put down the writing brush in his hand, got up helplessly, walked behind the queen and pressed her shoulders, and then comforted her: "Mother, the emperor is in good health, and it doesn't matter when the crown prince is established, why are you so angry? "

"But your father has already..."

"Already what?"

The queen stopped talking, Zhao Lingrui finally got a serious look on his face, and said, "Queen mother, I can understand your intentions and know that everything you do is for my own good, but there is a bottom line in everything, I hope you Don’t cross the line that shouldn’t be crossed in a daze.”

"What do you mean by that?"

"I'm just reminding you, many things, let things take their course, maybe there will be better results."

"Let it be? Do you think this is a child's play? In this bloody palace, the more you try to be a good person, the faster you will die. Rui'er, the empress knows that you are kind-hearted, but the weak are prey to the strong. You have to think about yourself, your mother, and the Xiao family."

"But the seat bought with innocent blood, I don't want it at all. The queen mother, I know everything."

After getting up, the queen turned to look at Zhao Lingrui, frowned and said, "What do you know?"

"You sent someone to do what happened 20 years ago, including what happened to the Xie Family Medical Center, right?"

The look in the queen's eyes was full of surprise, Zhao Lingrui sighed, and simply said: "People are not sages, no one can make mistakes, but if you make mistakes again and again, then you really can't turn back. Queen Mother, stop, I will accompany you to plead guilty to the emperor, if there is anything, we mother and son will take care of it together, okay?"

"You are crazy, you are talking crazy things, I don't understand."

The queen said and walked out, Zhao Lingrui shouted: "Have you ever thought about it, if it fails, the entire Xiao family will be destroyed."

She stopped, did not turn around, and said with her back to Zhao Lingrui: "If you give it a go, at least you have a chance to succeed, but if you ignore it, then whether it is Liu who wins or Luo who wins, the Xiao family will win." Can't keep it, Rui'er, sometimes it's not that the queen mother doesn't know right from wrong, it's just that she has no choice."

After the queen finished speaking, she directed to the guard at the door: "The prince is not feeling well, please take care of him. Don't let him step out of the East Palace these few days, so as not to make his condition worse."

"Yes……"

Zhao Lingrui slammed his fist on the stone table a little irritably, while the queen walked out of the East Palace, took out a small paper bag from her arms after walking for a while, handed it to the eunuch beside her, and said, "Go and inform the prince, just let me He added this to Xie Lingbai's meal."

"Yes, ma'am."
