Next, Li Yunsheng's gaze fell upon the two hidden cards.

Chapter 40: Can telling the truth save my life?

Open the two hidden cards one by one.

Congratulations on obtaining a healing card!

Note: It can heal physical injuries, but the effect depends on the severity of the injury; it cannot detoxify.

[Congratulations on receiving the Hypnosis Card!]

Note: Can hypnotize one person for half an hour.

Looking at the effects of the two cards, Li Yunsheng didn't hesitate and immediately chose the healing card.

He has trouble even getting out of bed now; his limited mobility is too much of a hassle.

With broken bones, it will be difficult to return to Beijing without prompt treatment.

Moreover, he also wanted to see the healing effect of the treatment card.

As for hypnosis cards, they should be used wisely.

He crushed the treatment card, and a surge of life force coursed through his body.

The broken bones in my chest and back are healing quickly, and my breathing has become much easier.

Li Yunsheng took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

The injured bones have all healed, only the chest still hurts a little.

It was probably an internal injury caused by that punch that hadn't fully healed.

I raised my arms and moved them left and right.

Seeing that nothing was wrong, he propped himself up on the bed and tried to sit up.

Beside her, Wei Xiang frowned and spoke in a commanding tone.

"Lie down!"

"Oh."

Li Yunsheng glanced at Wei Xiang, who had a serious expression, and had no choice but to lie back down.

However, he still couldn't lie still and turned his head to ask.

"Has Ling Zuo returned?"

"No."

"How are those assassins doing?"

"Alive".

"Have you found out who sent them?"

"No."

"I want to see them."

"No."

Li Yunsheng sighed.

"Can I bring them here without getting out of bed?"

As if afraid that Wei Xiang would not agree, he added another sentence.

"I want to know who's behind them, otherwise I won't feel at ease recuperating here."

"I'm here."

As soon as she said those words, Wei Xiang regretted it.

She was there even when he was hunting, but she still put him in danger.

Thinking of this, she turned around and said.

"I'll go find someone."

Li Yunsheng didn't think carefully about why he had disagreed just now but agreed in a different way.

dong dong——

There was a gentle knock on the door, and a moment later, Liu Quan walked in.

Following behind was Ling Zuo, whose face was covered in dust and who had several wounds on his body.

His lips were chapped and his voice was hoarse.

"Prime Minister Li."

Upon seeing Ling Zuo return alive, Li Yunsheng immediately sat up.

"Ling Zuo!"

After yesterday's assassination attempt, he knew that there was more than one assassin.

Therefore, since Ling Zuo did not show up yesterday, he had always thought that the other party was probably in grave danger.

I never expected to see Ling Zuo again.

Under Wei Xiang's gaze, Li Yunsheng belatedly realized that he was still a seriously injured patient.

"Ouch—"

Li Yunsheng clutched his chest, his face contorted in pain, and slowly lay down again.

He was overjoyed that Ling Zuo was back.

Ling Zuo was in charge of the Imperial Guard and was a second-rank expert, making him his right-hand man in the capital.

Being able to come back alive is like a rebirth for him.

Upon seeing this, Ling Zuo immediately spoke up.

"Li Xiang, lie down quickly."

After saying that, he blamed himself.

"It's all my fault for not staying by Prime Minister Li's side."

Li Yunsheng lay on the bed and turned his head to give the order.

"Liu Quan, quickly pour General Ling a cup of tea."

Ling Zuo accepted the tea, thanked him, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Only then did Li Yunsheng continue to ask questions.

"What happened to the injuries on your body?"

Where have you been all day and night?

Ling Zuo didn't answer the question directly, but instead spoke towards the door.

"Bring it in."

A moment later, two guards escorted in a man dressed in black.

The man in black was more seriously injured than Ling Zuo, especially on his chest, where there was a deep wound that exposed the bone.

He also looked like he had lost too much blood; his face was pale and he was weak.

"The fourth assassin!"

His attire alone tells you who he is.
