My father is Emperor Wu of Han, how can I be different from him?

Chapter 232 Only Death
"Vomiting blood? Really or fake?"

"According to the news from the Imperial Hospital, it is not fake."

In the Crown Prince's Palace, on the terrace of Jiaguan Palace, Liu Ju stood by the railing, looking west, and said quietly, "This mouthful of blood came at the right time."

Jin Midi beside him had a gloomy expression and remained silent.

Nearly half of the doctors in the Imperial Medical Service were from Bowang Garden, so it was not difficult to find out the details of Madam Li's condition, and the Yilan Palace could not hide it either.

But precisely because they had found out the truth and knew that the blood was indeed caused by the illness and not a disguise, the atmosphere on the balcony became quiet.

If it is false.

The Yilan Palace would only make things worse, but it was true. Now it was Liu Ju's turn to be in trouble. He exhaled a foul breath: "Huh, man proposes, God disposes."

"pity."

God’s will is unpredictable and indeed beyond human power’s ability to fathom.

But whether it is a pity or not is still debatable, because Mrs. Li vomited blood a bit seriously...

Yilan Palace.

Under the eaves of the bedroom corridor, Li Yannian, the commander of the music department, paced back and forth with a nervous look on his face. The eunuchs and palace maids around him also felt as if they were facing a great enemy.

Not long after.

As a figure stepped out of the palace gate, Li Yannian immediately went to meet him, "Imperial Physician, how is Madam's condition?"

The old man in his sixties sighed, "Madam was injured when she gave birth to the fourth prince. The remaining illness is already very serious. Now she has been stimulated..."

The imperial physician shook his head and stopped talking. He did not finish his words. He only said, "It is really difficult. I will prescribe a prescription and you can use the medicine as soon as possible."

"well."

Li Yannian quickly ordered the eunuch to follow the imperial physician to get the medicine.

Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes slow work and careful results. After taking a dose of medicine, the effect may not be seen immediately, and even after a whole course of treatment, there may be no effect.

When you first take the medicine, it can only relieve some symptoms.

however.

After Madam Li drank the medicine, there was no sign of relief. Instead, she felt unbearable pain and groaned from time to time, causing chaos in the Yilan Palace.

The imperial physicians were in and out, busy and frantic, and by midnight the situation had not improved, but instead—

"Someone, come quickly, the lady has fainted!"

"How could this be?"

"The patient's condition has taken a turn for the worse, and there's nothing we can do!" the medical officers said anxiously while wiping their sweat.

Li Yannian looked at his sister, who was pale as death on the bed, and then at the medical officers who were anxiously running around but could do nothing, and anger rose in his heart.

Thinking that they still needed to diagnose and treat him, he swallowed his anger and asked, "Can other doctors from the Imperial Hospital treat him?"

All the medical officers that could be invited from the Imperial Medical Bureau had already been invited to the Yilan Palace. The remaining ones that had not been invited were not because they could not be invited, but because they came from Bowang Garden.

Yilan Palace has always been on guard.

But now human lives are at stake, and we can’t care about anything else!
just.

As soon as Li Yannian asked, the imperial physician shook his head dejectedly, "Those people are not much different from us. It will be useless if they come."

"It's not that we didn't try our best, but that you are really terminally ill and even gods can't save you."

"Ugh……"

"Hey!" Looking at the dejected and groaning appearance of the medical officers, Li Yannian suddenly flew into a rage, staring at them with murderous intent, saying:

"You are a bunch of quacks. If you can't cure the lady, what do you think will happen to you? Hurry up and find a solution! If you don't, you will be buried with her!"

What I said worked.

The imperial physician, who had been hesitating and trying to shirk responsibility, suddenly became anxious, jumping up and down in panic. In a matter of life and death, a solution was quickly devised:
"I'm afraid the only one who can save Madam Li is Lord Yi!"

Righteous Duke?

Li Yannian's face froze with anger, but the doctors around him hadn't noticed anything unusual yet and were still excitedly agreeing: "Yes, yes, yes, I'm afraid only traditional Chinese medicine can do it now..."

But talk and talk.

Realizing the relationship between Yi Shuo and the Crown Prince's Palace, and the relationship between the Crown Prince's Palace and Yilan Palace, the people around them suddenly fell silent, and everyone just looked at Li Yannian.

The solution has been given, but whether or not they can hire people is no longer their business.

"please!"

The commander of the music department had a sharp look on his face, and ordered his attendants, "Take the transfer order from Weiyang Palace and go and invite them immediately!"

The eunuch who was accompanying him twitched his face. Seeing that his superior was confused, he had no choice but to point to the dark sky and remind him: "Captain, it is midnight now..."

child time.

Not only is there a curfew in Chang'an, but the Weiyang Palace is also locked. No one can go out before the time comes. How can we go to Bowang Garden outside the city to ask for help?

"I..." Li Yannian wanted to say that he would go find His Majesty right now, but when he was about to turn around, he suddenly remembered that His Majesty was not in the Weiyang Palace.

His Majesty the Emperor, who was out hunting, did not return to Chang'an City tonight, but stayed overnight in Wuzha Palace in Shanglinyuan. Without the Emperor, no one could open the locked palace gate!

Li Yannian was stunned for a moment, and could only grit his teeth and utter one word:
"Wait!"

They waited for several hours. When it was dawn and the palace gates opened, a team of eunuchs rode out of Weiyang Palace.

A quarter of an hour later, in the Prince's Palace.

Someone came hurriedly and whispered, "I have something urgent to tell His Highness immediately!"

Toot, toot.

There was a knock on the door, and after a while, candlelight was lit in the bedroom. Li Liangdi, wearing only an undergarment, helped Liu Ju put on his clothes, and after a while, they went outside the hall.

"what happened?"

"Your Highness, Madam Li is critically ill. Weiyang Palace has sent people to Bowang Garden to invite Yishuo." Jin Midi said in a deep voice.

As he spoke, the Xiongnu boy showed murderous intent on his face, "No one in the Imperial Hospital can cure her. If Yishuo doesn't come, Madam Li will die. Do you want me to send a message to Yishuo?"

"Don't!"

The person who said this was not Liu Ju, but Li Liangdi, who heard the voice in the hall, put on her clothes and hurried out.

She walked quickly to Liu Ju's side and said worriedly, "The people who went to invite Yi Shuo have already been sent out. If the Crown Prince's Palace makes any more moves at this time, it will inevitably be noticed by those with ulterior motives."

"If Madam Li's death is related to Your Highness, even the slightest suspicion will lead to disaster!"

Good luck tricks people.

The Crown Prince's Palace vigorously supported medical skills and cultivated skilled doctors. From a utilitarian perspective, Liu Ju did it for his cousin Huo Qubing and uncle Wei Qing.

Who could have expected that one day, the person you raise would also benefit your enemy.

Liu Ju looked at the sky that was about to break dawn in the distance, his face as cold as a knife and an axe, and said slowly: "Listen to Liang Di, you don't have to do anything."

"Your Highness?"

Jin Midi, who had been frowning, still wanted to fight for it, but before he could persuade him again, Liu Ju had already turned around. The dim light from the sky shone on half of his face, making it dimly visible, while the other half was still hidden in the darkness and obscure.

“To do nothing is to do something.”

Jin Midi's heart moved slightly, his brows suddenly relaxed, he lowered his head and bowed, performing a silent bow.

Li Liang Di, who was standing by, was lost in thought, and her eyes turned towards the prince with a hint of brilliance...

……

Southern suburbs.

With the arrival of the express horses, Bowangyuan, who was still asleep, was awakened by the sounds of messengers, questions, and footsteps.

In a small courtyard on the east side of the Medical Museum.

The disciples were busy packing up the medicine boxes and carriages. Outside, people were extremely anxious, but inside the house, there was a calm and peaceful atmosphere. It was too quiet and even a little depressing. "Has no one come to the Crown Prince's Palace yet?"

"No." The old Song Yi lowered his voice and said, "The Crown Prince's Palace probably hasn't received the news. Do you want me to send someone to ask?"

"No."

Yi Shuo, who was sitting still, refused without even thinking.

There was not enough time, the evidence was too obvious, and if someone was sent to ask the prince, what would he do? Save him, or not?
If you send someone away and let him fall into other people's eyes, there is only one answer: you must save him!
Now that there is no news, it is easier to deal with...

"Ugh!"

Song Yi sighed heavily, "What kind of thing is this?"

As a doctor, you should save the dying and heal the wounded. You can eat the emperor's salary, but you must also be loyal to the emperor. The Crown Prince's Palace and the Li family of Yilan Palace have been fighting each other in recent days.

They have become sworn enemies.

They are now caught in the middle, what should they do?
The test of human nature and the moral choice were the most tormenting. Song Yi looked embarrassed. He stood up and sat down several times, sighing continuously.

He was very anxious, but Yi Shuo was very calm, "You are not proficient in female diseases, and the person they came to invite is mainly me, so you don't have to come to the palace with them."

"This……"

Song Yi looked puzzled and was about to ask something when he saw a man running in from outside the house and reporting, "The carriage and horses are ready."

"Okay, let's go."

Watching Yi Shuo's back as she left, Song Yi opened his mouth. He felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. In the end, he said nothing...

on the official road.

A carriage was galloping in front, and a dozen eunuchs were riding on horses behind.

The halo of dawn in the east dyed the clouds in the sky red. Against the backdrop of the dark earth and sky, that corner of the cloud looked like a torn gap.

Deep and scary.

Looking at the trees flying by on both sides of the road, Yi Shuo, who was sitting in the carriage, had a complicated expression, as if reminiscing and regretting, "The last time I rushed into the city, it was to save your father."

The driver said in a muffled voice: "My nephew has always remembered it."

"How is your father?"

As if being blown by the cold wind in the early morning, Yicheng, who was driving the carriage for his aunt, said in a shaky voice, "Father is fine."

"He didn't get a reply to his letters to his aunt, so he often asked his nephew to visit him. Now my father's governance methods have become much gentler."

"He often said that he regretted not listening to his aunt's advice. This year, Jiuquan County was ranked as the best, and my father was rated as the best. Next year...next year he will be promoted...promoted."

this moment.

Yicheng's voice was choked with sobs and tears were streaming down his face.

Yi Shuo, who was sitting in the carriage, heard this and felt even more regretful. After a moment of silence, he said softly, "I am old and won't live much longer. I am sorry for causing trouble for you."

"A son should pay his father's debts, so why should he be implicated?"

Yicheng gritted his teeth and tried to hold back his tears. He held the reins in one hand and reached into his arms with the other. His eyes were red and tears rolled down.

"Aunt, please forgive me for being disrespectful!"

Yi Shuo took one last look out the window. The sky that was about to break dawn was still so dark and terrifying, not worthy of her staying there at all.

The carriage was speeding along.

Yicheng pulled out a dagger from his bosom and roared in a trembling voice, "If you kill my aunt, I will kill myself on the spot!"

After hearing this, the old woman in the carriage slowly closed her eyes.

"That's how it should be."

“It’s supposed to be this way…”

It is difficult to be both loyal and righteous, the only option is death.

The dim light of early morning shone on the blade of the dagger, flashing a cold light. The man held the hilt tightly and swung the hand holding the reins with force.

Snapped!
The horse neighed in pain and sped up a bit. Yicheng took advantage of this opportunity to loosen the reins. His face was distorted with pain. He grabbed the sharp blade and turned around to pounce backwards...

Whoosh, whoosh——!
"presumptuous!"

"Who is riding a horse in Shanglin Garden!" After the horse screamed, a loud shout suddenly came from the left side of the woods.

What came into view were the cavalrymen galloping onto the road from the other direction. They were originally running very fast, and when they suddenly met the carriage, they immediately pulled the reins.

The warhorse leaped high, neighed, and immediately stopped charging, then changed direction and galloped away on the same road.

Just from this one move, we can tell that the cavalry are elite and powerful.

The carriage that almost collided with them suddenly turned to the right side of the road because the horses were frightened. The two people on the carriage fell sideways. The moment they met, the leader of the cavalry stared and saw a flash of cold light. He was so frightened that he shouted again:
"What did you take?"

In a flash, the cavalry general jumped off his horse and jumped onto the adjacent carriage, holding the reins with one hand and grabbing Yicheng's wrist with the other.

“Oh, oh~”

The other cavalrymen cooperated with each other and quickly forced the carriage to stop. The eunuch following the carriage wanted to step forward to negotiate, but the cavalrymen suddenly drew their swords.

"Kill anyone who comes forward!"

"Don't get me wrong! We are the eunuchs of Weiyang Palace. Madam Li of Yilan Palace is critically ill and we have come to seek medical treatment. The people in the carriage are Yishuo and Yigong. They are definitely not bad people."

"We have the transfer order as proof!"

The cavalrymen were indifferent and apathetic. Only one deputy general shouted to the back, "Captain?"

On the carriage.

The captain of the imperial carriage held the dagger that was originally intended to kill, lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked at Yi Shuo who had a stern expression, and then looked at Yi Cheng who had a terrified face.

The general looked back and forth between the aunt and nephew with a sharp gaze. Combined with the eunuch's shouting, he seemed to have guessed something.

Yi Shuo clenched his fists and was about to cover it up.

Unexpectedly...

"Your loyalty is commendable, but if you die, the prince will be in even greater trouble!" The imperial carriage captain said, glanced at Yicheng who was sweating profusely, and threw the sharp blade back.

After whispering this, the general turned around and jumped off the carriage, "I was mistaken, it is indeed Lord Yi, don't be nervous."

Hear the words.

The surrounding soldiers had just sheathed their swords when they heard the sound of horse hooves from the left fork in the road. Soon, a large group of cavalry swarmed in.

After a while, a carriage drove up surrounded by soldiers. When the dozen eunuchs waiting by the road saw the ceremonial guard, they knelt down hastily.

The person in the carriage did not show up, only a deep, deep voice was heard, "Su Jia, what happened?"

Su Jia, the imperial carriage commander who had already climbed onto his horse, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, we ran into Lord Yi and his men. They were on their way to the Weiyang Palace."

"Then let's go together."

"Here!"

The emperor had undoubtedly already learned through his own channels about Madam Li's critical illness, which was why the collision happened.

Judging from the rapid pace of the team, the emperor was quite anxious.

What happened afterwards also proved this point. After the reunion, the team quickly rushed towards Chang'an City again, entered from the Xi'an Gate on the south side, and went straight to the Weiyang Palace.

Subsequently.

Go straight to Yilan Palace.

During this period, Yishuo was always under the emperor's watch and had no chance to "commit suicide".

After entering the Yilan Palace, Yi Shuo looked normal. She took the patient's pulse and asked questions. After seeing the patient and leaving the inner room, she bowed to the people who were looking at her, including His Majesty the Emperor, and shook her head, saying:
"Forgive me, I am incompetent."

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly stagnated!
