The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 125
Cao Shouli felt that there seemed to be a mighty force pressing towards him. It had been seven years since he took over the position of the eunuch in charge of the supervisor of ceremonies, and he had never seen the emperor so tough. The eunuch named Bingbi called over and drafted the decree in front of the emperor.

After another cup of tea, the two eunuchs had almost drawn up their orders, and there was still no news about Sun Duzhong and Xie Xi from outside.

Lin Zisu and the others were anxious, worried about Sun Duzhong's safety, and worried that Xie Xi would fall into the assassin's trick by rushing there.

However, even though she was very anxious, there was always a voice in her heart telling herself that the assassin would definitely make a move after such an arrangement, and when the situation was unclear, she must not mess up by herself.

She took a step forward, bowed to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, the current situation is that the enemy is in the dark and we are in the clear. Maybe the assassin just wants us to mess up. Your Majesty must guard against it."

Hearing what Lin Zisu said, the emperor looked up at her, and asked, "Little Sier, and your master, their situation is unknown, but it's just martial law in the palace, do you want to persuade me?"

Lin Zisu shook her head, forced a smile, and said, "Since the situation is unknown, I just don't want anyone to fall into the trap of the assassin."

The emperor nodded, but sighed: "Su Yatou, remember, since something happened, don't be afraid of making a big fuss. Some things, if you don't make a big fuss, and if you don't lift the cover, you will never know what's hidden inside. something happened."

Not long after, Cao Shouli took two eunuchs out to announce the decree, and then the guards reported that they had gone to the Palace of Compassion and Peace, but there was no one there at all, and the guards there saw neither Xie Xi nor Sun Duzhong.

Fearing that they might miss clues, the guards who went there searched the Compassionate Ning Palace, but still found nothing, so they hurried back to report.

After hearing the guard's report, the emperor had a gloomy face, and then said: "Send the order and search it carefully for me. I won't believe it. My son will disappear in the palace out of thin air!"

With an order, there was another commotion outside the Qianqing Palace. The candle flames in the hall swayed with the sound of footsteps, and the shadows of the lamps swayed, disturbing the emperor's mind.

Now it can be concluded that the assassin's target this time is very clear, namely Xie Xi, Sun Duzhong and Lin Zisu.

Sun Duzhong's master and apprentice detoxified himself, and the person who led the master and apprentice to the palace was Xie Xi.

The assassin first used Sun Duzhong as a bait to trick Lin Zisu out, and then used Lin Zisu's safety to lure Xie Xi into the trap.

What the assassins didn't expect was that Lin Zisu saw through this trick from the very beginning, and took precautions against all the back roads, without giving the assassins any chance.

After Sun Duzhong was used up, he was pushed out and discarded. This was originally part of the emperor's plan, but the assassins started ahead of time and took his son with him.

Thinking that his plan was completely disrupted, the emperor felt angry and dazed. His body hadn't recovered yet. If Sun Duzhong was really killed by the assassin, how long could he live?
The emperor first looked at Xie Hui who had been standing beside him. The third son, who had been planning since he was a child, was surprisingly quiet tonight. He didn't know what was going on in his mind.

Xie Yun stood beside Xie Hui, frowning tightly, with a serious expression on his face.This sixth son has always kept a low profile, and he can't be counted on for major national affairs.

If he dies like this, how long can Dayan last?
After all, the emperor was still afraid of death. He suddenly panicked and looked at everyone in the hall, finally falling on Lin Zisu.

After another incense stick, the guards came to report one after another, but they couldn't find any trace of Xie Xi and Sun Duzhong.

The emperor couldn't sit still any longer, stood up and said to a guard who reported, "Look again! You go and tell Cao Shouli to send Dongchang and Jinyiwei to me, and look for them all!"

Lin Zisu's heart was also tense, she straightened her body and said, "Your Majesty, I can tell the smell of medicine on Master's body, please follow me to find it!"

The emperor looked up at Lin Zisu, his eyes were full of complexities, he hesitated for a long time without saying a word, and just about to make up his mind, he heard a loud voice outside the gate of Qianqing Palace: "Quickly, His Highness King Dun is back!"

"His Royal Highness is back!"

"His Royal Highness has returned to capture the assassin!"

Lin Zisu was overjoyed, and turned her head to look at the gate. There was a "squeak" in the noise, and the half-hidden door of the Qianqing Palace was pushed open, and then Xie Xi, who was covered in blood, was striding forward. walked in.

Xie Xi's eyes were burning, and he saw Lin Zisu at the first sight. He walked up to Lin Zisu in three steps at a time, and asked, "It's so late, where are you going?"

Hearing that Xie Xi's voice was still in the usual tired tone, Lin Zisu was a little relieved, and was about to check Xie Xi's injury, only to hear Xie Xi laughing again and said: "I brought Sun Duzhong back, do you want to?" Have a look first?"

Lin Zisu was even happier. She worried for more than an hour. She thought that something happened to her master, but she was rescued by Xie Xi.

She was about to agree, but the emperor coughed lightly and said, "Little Si'er, you are getting more and more rude! How can you break into Qianqing Palace like this!"

Although the emperor said this as a reproach, his eyes were full of concern.

Xie Xi simply bent down, sat on the marble floor in the hall, panted and said: "Father, I was drugged first, and then I was assassinated, but I really don't have the energy to salute, please allow me to rest for a while .”

When the emperor heard that Xie Xi was injured, he hurriedly walked up to Xie Xi, bent down and took a look, and saw several wounds on Xie Xi's right arm and chest of different depths. Blood was still oozing from the two places, and without thinking about it, he blurted out "Come here, Imperial Physician Xuan!"

After all, Lin Zisu was a medical student, and her eyes were sharper than the emperor's. Before the emperor could speak, she had already taken out the needle bag she carried with her, and began to stop Xie Xi's bleeding with gold needles.

Seeing Lin Zisu's movement, the emperor immediately reacted, and said with a self-conscious smile, "I'm in a hurry and confused. There is a little genius doctor here. What kind of imperial doctor are you calling?"

The injuries on Xie Xi's body were all traumatic injuries. They were not too serious, but obviously they were not minor injuries.

Lin Zisu had no time to ask where the master was, first used a few golden needles to stop Xie Xi's bleeding, and then wiped Xie Xi's wound.

Xie Xi first gave Lin Zisu a consoling smile, raised his head and said to the emperor, "Father, just after I left Qianqing Palace, I saw some suspicious people, and I chased them all the way to Jingyang Palace, where I saw Dr. Sun There, bring him back."

The emperor felt that Xie Xi's statement was a bit weird, so he ignored it for a while, and said, "Since Miracle Doctor Sun is fine, let him come in."

Xie Xi spread her hands and said, "The man was brought back, but...it seems to be dead."
