The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 126
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."

The lights in the Qianqing Palace froze for a moment, and the emperor opened his eyes wide, and asked, "People... Sun Duzhong, is he dead?"

Lin Zisu was kneeling on the ground, cleaning Xie Xi's wound.Hearing these words, his hands froze in mid-air for an instant.

She held Xie Xi's clothes tightly, her beautiful eyes became moist instantly, she stared at Xie Xi for a while, then let go, laughed softly with tears in her eyes, shook her head and said: "Your Highness, you are teasing the minister again!" Girl, isn't it?"

Xie Xi didn't speak, but gently pushed Lin Zisu's hand away, and called out the door.

Then two guards carried a stretcher into the Qianqing Palace. The stretcher seemed to have been made in a hurry, that is, two small trees with some ropes and bark wrapped around them in a mess.

Lin Zisu stood up straight and looked on the stretcher. There was a person lying on it, which was Sun Duzhong.

She rushed forward, first went to feel Sun Duzhong's breath, and found that the master was not breathing, she was still a bit lucky, and then grabbed Sun Duzhong's wrist.

However, everything did not go as she wished, Sun Duzhong lost all breath and pulse, his face turned pale, as if he had been dead for a long time.

At some point, Xie Xi had silently stood beside her, and said in a low voice, "Miss Lin is in mourning."

Lin Zisu held Sun Duzhong's wrist tightly, her mind was in a mess, and she still didn't believe that Sun Duzhong died.

She raised her small face to look at Xie Xi, and asked, "Your Highness, when did you find my master in Jingyang Palace?"

"Well, about half an hour ago, I chased the assassin all the way to Jingyang Palace, where I was ambushed by the assassin. Fortunately, there were many people brought there, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to come back alive to see you ..."

When Xie Xi spoke, there was still an unruly expression on his face. The emperor frowned and couldn't help interrupting him: "But you're talking nonsense again! Didn't you come back well?"

After the emperor finished speaking, he asked again: "Have the assassins been caught? Have those assassins confessed to the mastermind behind the scenes?"

Xie Hui and Xie Yun remained silent all this time, hearing the emperor's question, they all looked at Xie Xi, waiting for his answer.

Xie Xi shrugged his shoulders and said, "A total of [-] assassins, except for one who escaped, the rest either died or committed suicide by taking poison. None of them were left alive for us."

The emperor gritted his teeth and said: "It seems that this time, the other party has already planned it."

Then the emperor asked Xie Xi some details, Xie Xi lazily replied a few words, and then said: "When I came back, I met Cao Shouli, and I will see if Dongchang can catch this fish that slipped through the net. If you catch it, Emperor Father can ask him."

Lin Zisu waited for the emperor to finish asking, and said to Xie Xi, "Your Highness, I have something to ask. My master came to Qianqing Palace. Jingyang Palace is in the west. Why is his body there?"

The emperor also felt that this matter was very strange, and asked: "Little Si, what was the situation at that time?"

Xie Xi pinched her chin with one hand, pretended to be in deep thought, and said after a long time: "Miss Lin is right, what happened tonight is very strange, and even I almost died, I'm afraid all of this will have to be done." Wait for Eunuch Cao to find out."

Both the emperor and Lin Zisu saw that this was Xie Xi's excuse, and in front of Xie Hui and Xie Yun, the emperor couldn't ask too much, so he could only say: "Forget it, I will wait for Shouli's reply, you There are still injuries on the body, let's retreat first to recuperate."

After the emperor finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something, and then said: "You all go out first, and leave Miss Lin to treat me."

Both Xie Xi and Xie Hui stared closely at Lin Zisu for a few moments before exiting the Qianqing Palace one after another.

Then several guards came in and carried out Sun Duzhong's body.

Lin Zisu looked at Master's body reluctantly until the door of Qianqing Palace was closed by someone outside.

She wiped her face with her sleeve, and the faint smile returned to her face, and she said: "Your Majesty, such a big incident happened tonight, and my master also suffered a misfortune. I'm afraid it has delayed your illness, my daughter." Here's your pulse."

The emperor saw that Lin Zisu still had a sad face just now, and his eye circles were still red, but after only a moment, the expression on his face returned to normal, and he was secretly amazed.

"Su Yatou, don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation."

He didn't stretch out his wrist towards Lin Zisu, and said, "Death cannot be brought back to life. If you want to cry, you might as well cry."

Lin Zisu shook her head slightly, bit her lip and said, "Your Majesty is right, the dead cannot be brought back to life, so no matter how much I cry, it will be useless."

Hearing her words, the emperor sighed: "Since Yuji, I have thought that I am worthy of my ancestors at the top, and worthy of the common people at the bottom. If everything is done perfectly, it is not always true. Today's matter is just My negligence."

"Your Majesty, don't worry about it. As the saying goes, 'You can only be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against a thief for a thousand days'. Tonight's matter was deliberately planned. They didn't want His Majesty to recover. Will do it too."

The emperor gave a "hmm" and sat in front of the imperial case, and then put his wrist on the imperial case, waiting for Lin Zisu to get his pulse.

At this height, Lin Zisu was unable to diagnose the pulse no matter standing or kneeling.She was startled, seeing what the emperor meant, to allow herself to sit down and treat patients like an ordinary doctor in the folk.

She didn't dare to sit on an equal footing with the emperor, she looked around and fixed her eyes on the little cockroach in the corner.

The emperor saw her strangeness, and said with a smile: "Now there is no one else, I let you sit, you just sit down obediently."

Lin Zisu still persisted, so the emperor had no choice but to comply with her request, sat back on the soft couch, and said helplessly, "You girl, you are still so polite to me! Learn more from that child, Xiao Si'er, look at him, When have you ever been polite to me?"

Lin Zisu disapproved in her heart, Xie Xi was the prince, so naturally he had no taboos, besides, he usually had his own way, and no one would pursue him if he went out of line occasionally.

My own identity is far from Xie Xi's, so how can I be rude?
Lin Zisu thought this way in her heart, but she said: "His Royal Highness, a noble man, is straightforward and always casual. How can a courtier compare to him?"

The emperor smiled and asked, "Su Yatou, what do you think of this little Si'er?"
