Pin Shanhe

The man instinctively clenched his fist.

If taking action openly would arouse suspicion, then we can only do it covertly...

With a slight twitch of his fingertips, a faint, cold glint flashed, preparing to take his life without anyone noticing.

Feng Zhu vomited a mouthful of blood due to a relapse of his severe injuries and then fainted.

Shen Fu had finally gotten the other party to reveal the "truth," but unexpectedly, things went wrong at this crucial moment.

Could it be an act?

She immediately went over to check on him and found that his face was as pale as paper.

Yun Dai stepped forward, reached out to check the pulse, and her expression instantly turned serious.

"He was seriously injured. His heart meridian was damaged, and most of his meridians were destroyed. It's already very difficult that he has been able to hold on until now."

Wow, that's ruthless!

She couldn't understand why this man was so determined to kill Feng Zhu.

Is it simply because this person is the subordinate of a love rival?

The King Xuan is already dead, so it's unfair that he takes his anger out on the King's men.

The man's tone was icy and devoid of any emotion, "To heal someone who has betrayed their master is a waste of medicine; they'd be better off dead!"

Shen Fu, unable to bear it any longer, questioned, "I've said it before, the real mastermind is someone else, why do you keep focusing on him?"

"Although he didn't do these things himself, he repeatedly shielded the murderers and aided and abetted the evildoers. Doesn't he deserve to die?"

"Even if I'm going to die, it won't be now!"

At the very least, we should wait until she gets the truth out of her!

Yun Dai looked at this for a while, then looked at that for a while.

So, should I save her or not?

"save!"

"Don't save them!"

Two voices rang out at the same time, leaving her even more confused.

Can we make things more consistent?

Upon seeing Shen Fu produce a silver note, she immediately put it in her pocket and patted her chest to firmly state her position.

"Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda; as a doctor, I have an even greater responsibility to do so!"

After receiving acupuncture, Feng Zhu survived, but due to the severity of his injuries, he did not wake up immediately and had to be taken back to the Xuanwang Mansion for the time being.

……

Feng Zhu slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was an impenetrable darkness.

A sudden, excruciating pain exploded in his chest, affecting his internal organs and nearly suffocating him.

He's still alive?

Suddenly, his gaze fell upon something not far away.

The figure in the black cloak stood still, shrouded in shadow, exuding a terrifying sense of oppression.

Feng Zhu's pupils suddenly contracted.

"you……"

Before he could finish speaking, he was cut off by the other person's icy, chilling voice, "What, you think you have too much time on your hands?"

Thinking about what happened before he lost consciousness, Feng Zhu was shocked, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether he should feel despair or fear.

"Why didn't you just kill me?"

"You think I don't want to?"

If it weren't for that woman stopping him, he would have died countless times over.

Now that she's become suspicious, it's not a good time to make a move.

Feng Zhu suddenly remembered something and tried to get up despite his serious injuries.

"Red water chestnut..."

"They've already run away."

They had indeed laid a trap, thoroughly investigating every inn in the capital and pinpointing Hongling's whereabouts.

Unexpectedly, she used a disguise technique and escaped right under my nose.

Before he could even catch his breath, the other person let out a cold laugh, "Do you think I'll let her go?"

"she……"

Feng Zhu closed his eyes and swallowed back the words of pleading for mercy.

He said this was the last time he would help her.

From then on, they were even!

Now it is time for him to pay the price for his actions.

He gathered his last bit of strength into his palm and thrust it toward his chest.

Just as he was about to die, his opponent acted with lightning speed, stopping him in his tracks.

"Whether you live or die is not up to you. Even if you die, you'll have to make amends for the mess you've made."

Feng Zhu didn't understand what he could still do at this point.

Upon hearing the other party's terms, his face showed extreme astonishment and shock.

By the time they realized what had happened, the figure in black had already vanished from the spot.

……

Shen Fu felt that Feng Zhu seemed to be trying to reveal a very important secret at that time.

But because of the severity of his injuries, he didn't have time to say it.

Upon hearing the news that he had woken up, they rushed over to question him.

Feng Zhu changed his previous attitude and looked at her with a hint of sympathy.

"It's better if you don't know, or you'll definitely regret it."

Even at this point, he still dares to keep us in suspense?

Shen Fu's patience was also running out. Anyway, he had just woken up and didn't know what had happened.

As long as the truth can be extracted, the process is not important.

"Hongling is now in my hands. Whether she lives or dies is entirely up to you."

"Don't hurt her!"

"Then tell me!"

Feng Zhu's eyes flickered, and he finally spoke: "Actually, before the prince went to the Northwest, he left a secret order."

Upon hearing the contents of the secret order, Shen Fu's eyes widened suddenly, her blood freezing instantly, and she could hardly believe her ears.

He actually said that the real mastermind behind the love potion incident was not Hong Ling at all!

It was Xiao Xuanjin!

Not only that, but the attack she was in when she was nearly drowned in the bamboo grove in the backyard of the Xuanwang Mansion was also at his instigation!

Looking at her pale face, Feng Zhu did not stop, but continued to analyze her coldly, each word piercing her heart.

"He is a high and mighty prince, wielding power and possessing a deep and calculating mind. We are merely his subordinates, how dare we repeatedly disobey our lord and harm others?"

"What the lord hates most is being deceived. You orchestrated a situation where you were mistakenly married to him, crossing his bottom line. How could he let it go so easily? You must pay the price!"

"The most devastating way to make a woman pay is to destroy her innocence and leave her to live a life of endless suffering."

Shen Fu's first reaction was not shock and anger, but utter absurdity.

She couldn't hold back any longer and slapped him hard across the face.

"He's already dead, and you still want to ruin his reputation? You deserve to die!"

Without Xiao Xuanjin guarding the borders and conquering all sides, the Great Yong Dynasty would have long since fallen apart and been engulfed in war.

It was through his bloody battles that he protected the vast land, stabilized the turmoil in the court, and saved countless people from the chaos of war, displacement, and the destruction of their homes.

How could such a loyal and righteous person be such a treacherous and despicable villain?

Feng Zhu sighed as he looked at her sudden loss of composure.

"Because he's gone, I have no reason to lie. I just feel sorry for you being kept in the dark. You can pretend I didn't say anything and continue to deceive yourself."

Shen Fu was not easily fooled and accurately grasped the suspicious points.

"What do you mean by saying all this? What does it have to do with the cause of his death?"
