Concubine's true colors

Chapter 439
And when Emperor Ming ordered Deng Chang to pull Xiao Wenyao up from the ground.

This meeting also doesn't look like a seventy-year-old man from outside the window. Ding Yizhen, who turned in extremely neatly, couldn't help shaking his head and said with a wry smile:
"Your Majesty the Emperor, you asked me to give you a boosting needle today. You could live half a month longer, but this injection exhausted your meager energy and blood. So seeing that I can't heal you even if I stay, The old man took his leave early in the morning and is about to leave the palace immediately."

Having said that, Ding Yizhen had already come to Emperor Ming, and took off the needle that had pierced the back of the opponent's hand.While feeling the other party's pulse, he gave Xiao Wenyao a helpless look and said:
"It's not all about this kid, old man, I see that the forbidden courtyard of your palace is very chaotic and dangerous. The old master of Zhaoyang County still wants to accept him as an apprentice, and her younger brother wanted to help take him out of the palace. But This kid is so good that he refuses to leave even if he dies. He has to say that as a subject of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he must never abandon you, the emperor. Seeing him come back, he is also going to die. Old man, I tried to persuade and threaten him for a long time, but it was useless, so I had to come back .”

In the time between the words, Ding Yizhen also took the pulse of Emperor Ming.Looking at the glass of poisoned wine on the desk in front of him, he thought of the conversation in the hall that he had hidden by the window just now.

Immediately, Ding Yizhen shook his head helplessly, and then said reluctantly:
"I have a medicine here, called Hades Tears. As the name suggests, as long as you have a breath, you can be pulled back from the gate of hell after taking this medicine. Even the King of Hades will have nothing to do with you."

Seeing Ding Yizhen talking, he took out a stone box the size of a square palm from the rag pocket he was carrying.

After he opened it, he saw two crystal clear, green pills the size of jujubes inside.

Then, after a trace of reluctance and hesitation flashed in Ding Yizhen's eyes, he finally took out one of them and handed it to Emperor Ming.

"Don't say old man, I was unwilling to take out these two precious pills before. The main reason is that you, the emperor, are poisoned by Gu poison. Although Yan Wanglei has the effect of rejuvenating muscles and bringing the dead back to life, in addition to renewing your life for six or seven days Besides, it is not really a panacea, which can make you fully heal. These two tears of Hades were left by my master back then, and there are only three in the world. I have only used one of them in the past few decades, but today I I decided to give you one of the only two pills."

Hearing the preciousness of this medicine, Emperor Ming was not afraid of life and death, knowing that this medicine would only make him live a few more days, he immediately refused to take it.

But Ding Yizhen is called a ghost doctor, except for most of his methods of diagnosis and treatment are appalling, and his personality is quite weird, he only does everything according to his own preferences.

And with Emperor Ming's side for more than two months, and seeing that the other party would rather drink poisoned wine than lose his courage as the Ninth Five Lord.

And the helplessness and bitterness of preferring to lose one's own flesh and blood, but also to keep this country and society.

Old man Ding was indeed touched, so he was willing to take out his precious elixir to extend the other party's life for a few days.

But seeing that Emperor Ming was unwilling to accept it, old man Ding directly tapped the other party's neck a few times without saying a word.

When Emperor Ming's mouth was forced to open and could not be closed immediately, old man Ding actually stuffed the pill into the opponent's mouth.

"If you tell you to eat it, you just eat it. It's not time for you to die. Old man Ding, I am a doctor and a doctor. I have already poisoned the imperial guards outside. You and Director Deng just find a place to hide for a while. Wen and I Yao will leave traces on purpose to make people think that we are you and have escaped to heaven. Persevere until your princes control the situation, and you can see with your own eyes the end of even a chaotic son, otherwise I will block it for you panic."

If it wasn't for Ding Yizhen's solemn oath in the past that he would only save lives and not kill people in this life, with his method of poisoning, let alone knocking out the imperial army, he could turn this place into a deadly place in an instant with a gust of poisonous mist drifting over .

But now that the elixir was being forced into his mouth, Emperor Ming immediately felt that his body recovered his strength quickly.

Knowing that Ding Yizhen was a strange person, he saw that Emperor Ming suddenly took a blank imperial edict from the desk, and immediately wrote out a copy of the imperial edict passed on to Zhou Xianrui.

After the jade seal was deeply stamped on the imperial decree, Emperor Ming handed it to Ding Yizhen, and said very carefully:

"I have also given Brother Yongchang a copy of this decree to pass on the throne to Xianrui. But to be safe, I will trouble Old Man Ding to bring this imperial decree to Rui'er as well. As for my life being extended for another six or seven days, then I hid in the secret passage and waited quietly for the day when my son put down the rebellion and entered the palace."

In fact, Emperor Ming drafted this second edict, in addition to ensuring that the succession of the throne was safe, he actually had selfish motives.

After all, Ji Lingfeng had already said just now that the soldiers and horses of the Xiaoqi Battalion were about to wash Prince Rui's mansion with blood.

And if Ding Yizhen arrived in time, Emperor Ming expected that the other party would definitely not stand idly by, and Zhou Xianrui might be safely saved by then.

Even if his life would be in danger at any moment, Emperor Ming was still trying his best for this country until this moment.

After everyone arranged everything, Xiao Wenyao, who hadn't spoken for a long time, still refused to leave in the end, and stubbornly insisted on staying by Emperor Ming's side.

Ding Yizhen would also show signs of fleeing in order to confuse Empress Xue and the others, because he couldn't knock Xiao Wenyao unconscious, so he left with a burden on his shoulders.

So in the end, Xiao Wenyao was not afraid of the current dangerous situation, and resolutely entered the secret path with Emperor Ming to avoid it.

On the contrary, Deng Chang persuaded the other party whether to escape from the palace directly, but Emperor Ming saw that even if he continued his life, he could only live for six or seven days.

If he escaped from the palace, he might not have time to come back when it was time for him to show up, so hiding in the secret passage is the most suitable choice.

As for the inside of the palace, which has already set off a bloody rain, the outside of the palace is actually still calm.

The common people were sleeping in the quiet night. No one knew that a palace rebellion was about to happen, and many innocent lives would eventually be implicated in it.

As for Prince Rui's Mansion, which was deeply worried by Emperor Ming, because the Xiaoqi Battalion was stationed far away from the mansion.

In addition, it will take some time to assemble the whole army, so the palace is still calm and not in crisis.

As for Zhou Xianrui and Xiao Jinxuan who had to be removed under the death order given by Empress Xue, they were both in the same room at this moment.

And Xiao Jinxuan's leg was soaked by the soup, which caused slight burns, redness and swelling, and even felt pain when walking, so she just lay quietly on the bed.

But she, who was supposed to have a good rest, looked at Zhou Xianrui who moved the wooden stool, sat beside the bed, blew the medicine for her, and wanted to feed her herself.

After Xiao Jinxuan slightly avoided the spoon, she couldn't help frowning slightly and said:
"My lord, Jinxuan's leg was just a little burnt, but her hands are fine. You should go and do your own business. Since you came back from the fight, you have been busy for me. If even the decoction is your Come and feed me, Jinxuan is really going to be a little scared."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xianrui couldn't help putting the white jade soup bowl aside, and after silently staring at Xiao Jinxuan for a long time, he said in a voice that couldn't hide his loss:
"Jinxuan, it's not because you're sincere and fearful. You just don't like me being close to you. I'm too attentive to you, right? In front of Fengxiang Palace today, I know I shouldn't call you Xuan'er. But you believe me, it's not What this king wishes, I can't control myself even though I know it will hurt my seventh brother's heart, but I still did it out of nowhere."

Zhou Xianrui's character is a person who is outspoken, clear about right and wrong, and will not make any high-sounding excuses for himself.

Therefore, knowing that today she went to the palace for a banquet, Xiao Jinxuan must have a grudge against what she did.

I just hope that I can take care of the other party a little bit more, and don't alienate Zhou Xianrui because of this, I still think it's better to explain clearly.

But looking at Xiao Jinxuan who was half leaning on the bed, hearing his words, she just lowered her head and remained silent.There was no excited questioning, let alone words of understanding.

For the past two months, they have been together day and night to regard Xiao Jinxuan as her indispensable ally, confidant, and even Zhou Xianrui who really treats her as her side concubine.

Even if he is calm and calm, he can suppress the expression of inner feelings.

But facing Xiao Jinxuan's silence, as if he didn't want to talk to him at all, Zhou Xianrui's patience was completely worn away.

Therefore, seeing that he didn't give Xiao Jinxuan any chance to react at all, he stretched out his hand to hold the other's arm quite excitedly, and then moved towards his arms.

The moment Xiao Jinxuan was completely hugged into her arms.

Even though the white jade soup bowl on the side was knocked to the ground, making a crisp shattering sound, Zhou Xianrui, who still didn't fall in love too deeply, woke up his calmness.

Xiao Jinxuan, who didn't react until she crashed into Zhou Xianrui's arms and was tightly controlled by the other party's hands, immediately resisted to the death.
"Zhou Xianrui, you still haven't let me go. You should know the relationship between you and me best. Don't do anything that makes me hate you, otherwise I will never forgive you in my life."

In the past, every word Xiao Jinxuan said, Zhou Xianrui would definitely answer with a smile, and let the other party do what he wanted.

But this will be influenced by the lust in his heart, and the anxiety that Xiao Jinxuan will leave him when he doesn't know when.

Zhou Xianrui just wants to completely own the other party, so he has no intention of letting go.

And looking at Xiao Jinxuan's cold words, heartbroken, Zhou Xianrui bullied her and pushed her down on the bed.

Then she lowered her head slightly and was about to kiss the other party's red lips, not wanting to hear a word that would make him feel unbearably hurt.

Zhou Xianrui's repeated actions really caused Xiao Jin to fall into a complete panic, but she couldn't resist at all.

Just when Xiao Jinxuan's temperament, soft on the outside and strong on the inside, was really unbearable, and she even had the resolute idea of ​​biting her tongue to kill herself, and never let the other party succeed.

Suddenly, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open with a "bang".

Then Shen Wenqing not only rushed in anxiously, but also pulled Zhou Xianrui hard, and said anxiously with disappointment:

"My lord, what are you doing? Why don't you let go of Jinxuan quickly? Don't tell me you forgot about the current court situation and your deeply affectionate seventh brother. Jinxuan married into the palace only because of you, didn't you It’s the failure to repay her like this, if that’s the case, then Wen Qing is really disappointed in you.”
