The Road to Fame as an Imperial Physician

Chapter 118 I Will Give This Life to You

When Xie Lingbai rushed to the palace, he thought he would see a chaotic palace, but to his surprise, it was as quiet as usual inside.

It's just that the messy corpses in front of me reflect how intense the scene was just now, but is it over so soon?Could it be that the emperor has...

Zhao Longfan brought Xie Lingbai into the Chenxi Palace, but the guards at the entrance of the palace did not stop him, which forced Xie Lingbai to confirm his guess just now, it seems that the queen really succeeded.

However, when I walked in, I saw that there seemed to be a confrontation between the two sides, but the queen was obviously at a disadvantage.

Seeing Zhao Longfan and Xie Lingbai coming, the queen relaxed her expression instantly, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, my concubine has served you with all my heart and soul for so many years, and I have worked hard without credit, but what about you? In the end, you refused to give Our mother and child live."

"Is it because I won't give you a way to live? It's clear that you are looking for a way to die."

"If you didn't insist on abolishing the prince, why would I take such a method!" The queen shouted excitedly. The person next to her kidnapped a child, who looked like a prince, but only seven or eight years old.

"Father save me..."

The little prince was frightened and cried, but he couldn't move because the dagger was resting on his neck.

"Xiao Eryue, if you have any humanity, don't do anything to a child!"

"Human nature? Hehehahaha, in this cold palace, human nature is worthless. Your majesty, I know you don't like me. I have come here pretending to be deaf and dumb all these years, but you can't treat Rui'er like this. If I do anything wrong, it's me..."

"You also know that you made a mistake, so you shouldn't make the same mistakes again and again. If Mo'er is let go, I can still consider letting your life go."

"This fate, what am I going to do?! Your Majesty, people outside now think that the concubine brought people here to fight the fire, so if you pass the imperial edict to Yu Rui'er, the concubine will let him go, how about it? "

"Presumptuous, I see that you are really tired of living!"

"The concubine has known for a long time that you can't give up the throne because of one son, so what if it's two sons?"

The queen said and looked at Xie Lingbai at the door. Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Xie Lingbai was confused. In fact, there were not many people in the Chenxi Palace. Apart from the subordinates of both parties, only the emperor, Eunuch Liu, The queen, He Lianzhi, plus Zhao Longfan and himself.

So the queen wants to hide the truth from people outside and let the emperor pass on Zhao Lingrui here, but the question is why does it involve him?

"Since the emperor already knows that Xie Lingbai is your son, but just as we met, he was about to lose his life. I wonder how the emperor feels?"

"You can't protect yourself, so let's capture it with nothing to lose. Don't struggle anymore. Do you really think I've been poisoned? I'm in good health, but I'm just acting for you."

"Even if I die here today, I still have to take a back seat. If you are not poisoned, there are other people who can be poisoned." After the queen finished speaking, she said to Xie Lingbai: "Xie Lingbai, I know that you know Wen Xun His medical skills are good, but unfortunately, no matter how good his medical skills are, he may not be able to save a person who has been deeply poisoned and only has one hour left to live."

"I don't understand what the queen said."

"Bengong ordered someone to add some ingredients to your meal. Xie the imperial physician, don't be too grateful to Bengong, just enjoy the last moments of your life."

Xie Lingbai looked at Zhao Longfan beside him with some surprise, if his food was poisoned, then Zhao Longfan must have known about it.

Although I knew from the beginning that Zhao Longfan and the queen were on the same side, but after getting along for a while, I thought he was not as vicious as I imagined, so is it really because of people's hearts?

The food is eaten together, it is impossible to poison, so the most likely thing is the bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus and lotus seed soup a few nights ago, no wonder the taste is so strange, is it because of the addition of poison?

"My lord, what did you add to that bowl of lotus seed soup?"

Zhao Longfan's expression was calm, and he replied leisurely after hearing the words: "Why is Imperial Doctor Xie so nervous?"

"What do you think I'm nervous about?"

"It's just adding a little more salt, what are you afraid of?"

"Salt?"

At the end of the sentence, Zhao Longfan smiled and did not continue to explain. Xie Lingbai recalled the taste of the lotus seed soup, which was sweet and salty. Is it because of the addition of salt?

What is the queen's so-called poison referring to?

"Prince Chan, what do you mean by that?"

The queen asked Zhao Longfan in surprise, Zhao Longfan spread his hands and said, "Isn't the empress just a small paper bag of salt?"

"You... how dare you change Ben Gong's medicine!"

Since the Queen cooperated with Prince Chan, she would definitely send someone to stay in Prince Chan's mansion, and Zhao Longfan knew this well.

So I simply let the queen's people see with their own eyes that the cook really put medicine in the lotus seed soup.

But it is not known what is in the paper bag.

"Zhao Longfan, you betrayed me?"

"Wrong, this is not betrayal, it is clearly outsmart."

The emperor at the side said: "Xiao Eryue, I and my eleventh brother are brothers of the same mother. Do you really think he will help you to harm me?"

"The king and the emperor's brother have not been in harmony for so many years, but this is only on the surface, and the empress will not really think that the king."

The queen realized it later, and said with a wry smile: "You guys planned it from the beginning?! Ben Gong is so stupid..."

"Close to you, originally because of your recent actions are a little big, but you accidentally know what happened 20 years ago, my lord, in fact, in today's situation, I blame you for being too greedy, for the position of the prince, for the sake of The latter, actually did the thing of transferring the prince."

"Is He Aiqing going to dig her own grave with her?"

He Lianzhi, who had been silent all the time, smiled when he heard the words, and said: "Your Majesty, I think that whether you live or die, you can see something. If you can't get what you want, you might as well die."

"What do you want?"

He Lianzhi frowned and sighed lowly: "What I want, I will never get..."

Although the emperor has always cherished talents, seeing that He Lianzhi was not willing to enter, he naturally stopped persuading him, and finally said to the queen: "Xiao Eryue, stop, those people you arranged will surrender and die. Do you think there is still a chance now?"

The queen closed her eyes in some pain, and when she opened them again, she suddenly took a knife at the side and approached the kidnapped little prince, saying viciously: "Since he can't live, he will die with me!"

Speaking to Xie Lingbai, he smiled and said, "Xie Lingbai, do you think you have won? Your younger brother, have you ever thought about how he is doing now?"

Xie Lingbai took a step forward and asked, "What do you mean? What did you do to Xiao Jin?"

"Do you think it's safe to leave him alone in Xixia City?"

"It's you... It's you who killed my parents?"

"It was you, Xie Lingbai, who really harmed them. If it wasn't for you, why should I kill them?"

Xie Lingbai took a deep breath to make himself look a little calmer, and then said: "There are so many guards in the Wen residence, how could it be possible for you to succeed!"

"Wen Mansion... Then if in Xixia City, I have a helper who is more powerful than Wen Mansion?"

"Who?"

The queen laughed, but did not answer this question. Xie Lingbai was not sure whether she had succeeded or not. Xixia City was too far away from the imperial city. Even if something happened, it was impossible to send news immediately. Could it be that Xiao Jin was really arrested?

"Anyway, that's not your real brother. It doesn't matter to you whether you live or die. I have no excuse today. It's just the emperor. Everything I do has nothing to do with Rui'er. He doesn't know If you are in love, please ask the emperor to spare him at that time."

"If you want me to treat Rui'er leniently, then let Mo'er go."

"Hehehe, what's the matter? Did the emperor plan to deal with Rui'er? Did the emperor really treat him as his son? Don't you know what kind of character he is? Since you are ruthless, don't blame me for being unintentional!"

The queen's eyes sharpened, and she raised the knife in her hand to chop it off. The little prince was so frightened that he couldn't stop crying. There were many subordinates around her, so it was impossible to get close to snatch them away.

"Wait a moment!"

Xie Lingbai suddenly interrupted the Queen's movements, he took two steps forward, and said calmly: "Queen, I don't know why you hate me so much, but since you want me to die, I will How about entrusting this life to you?"

"Will you be so kind?"

"You just need a hostage. I will replace him. He is still a child. As you have seen just now, he is not a big threat to the emperor. At least if you replace him with me, you can relieve your hatred even more, can't you?"

"Stop playing tricks!"

"You also said that Xiao Jin may be in your hands, I dare not play tricks, you can tap my acupuncture points."

As Xie Lingbai walked towards them step by step, the emperor shouted: "Don't go!"

Xie Lingbai glanced at the emperor, just now the emperor said that he was not poisoned, but Wen Changheng also said before that the emperor was very ill, and he might not have much time left, so now he is probably holding on.

This farce must end as soon as possible, otherwise everything will get worse, he continued to walk forward, the queen asked a guard beside him to come forward, Xie Lingbai said: "It is an exchange, you have to let him go! "

"Let him go..."

The guard let go of the little prince, and at the same time touched Xie Lingbai's acupuncture points, and brought Xie Lingbai over, while the little prince ran to the emperor crying.

"Your Majesty, you can take away Weichen's life at any time to relieve your hatred, but just like the little prince just now, Weichen's younger brother is innocent, can you not attack him?"

"Xie Lingbai, when death is imminent, you still have to pretend to be selfless to protect others?"

"Your Majesty talked about him from left to right. Could it be that he was just bluffing? In fact, I also believe that it is impossible for the guards of the Wen Mansion to make mistakes."

"Really? If you want to trick me so much, I will show you kindness and remind you. Xixia City is no better than the Imperial City. As the son of the Prime Minister, Wen Xun may be feared by others in the Imperial City." points, but in Xixia City, who do you think is the biggest?"

Xie Lingbai's eyes flashed, and his tone was full of disbelief: "You can't mean... Yun Mansion, right?"
