Chapter 377: Drinking Medicine

Of course King Liang knew.

What will the emperor ask about?

It's just that the emperor has woken up, Yun Zhao's foundation is stable, and Yun Zhao wants to settle the score with me later!

King Liang looked at Yun Zhao's injured hand and immediately became a little afraid.

He didn't dare to breathe heavily, and could only wait for Mu Chengyan to come and give him advice.

The attendant went to the outside of the Spring Examination Hall and whispered a few words to Mu Chengyan. Xie Jingmo narrowed his eyes and saw that Mu Chengyan's face changed drastically, and he left in a hurry.

Xie Jingmo frowned and was about to ask someone when someone from Deputy General Gao arrived. After whispering to Xie Jingmo about the situation in the palace, he said, "The Queen Mother told you to rest assured here at the Spring Examination Hall. Once the top three are determined, announce them immediately and don't give others a chance to react."

Xie Jingmo was puzzled when he heard this, "Should we announce it immediately?"

The people around Deputy General Gao nodded. "Yes, the Queen Mother said that in order to avoid any further complications, no one is paying attention to this area right now, so don't worry too much. You and the examiners here have all been personally checked by her, so she has confidence in you."

Xie Jingmo was not thinking about this.

If he directly announced the top three, wouldn't these people become his disciples?

He always thought that Yun Zhao was planning to use these people for his own use in the future.

Someone around Deputy General Gao whispered, "Deputy General Gao said, 'You should do whatever the Queen Mother says.' You are all the same, and everyone's disciples are the same. If this matter falls into someone else's pocket, all this trouble will become a favor to others."

Xie Jingmo frowned, but finally nodded.

He whispered, "Keep a close eye on the palace. Report if anything happens."

The man nodded and said, "Don't worry, we are all generals from the frontier, and you brought us up single-handedly. Nothing will go wrong."

Xie Jingmo watched the man walk away.

His brows were never relaxed.

King Liang waited anxiously for Mu Chengyan to arrive.

Before anyone could get closer, King Liang had already walked over anxiously.

He was completely different from the leisurely state he was in a few days ago.

"Does the person really want to wake up?" Mu Chengyan asked.

King Liang nodded, "What Xiaoliu said cannot be wrong."

Mu Chengyan frowned and asked in a low voice, "Have you found out who turned the tide?"

King Liang said, "Didn't you say it was a thousand-year-old ginseng?"

"I thought about it later. Even if it is a thousand-year-old ginseng, the effect would not be so amazing. The emperor has taken so many supplements over the years, but he has never seen such a therapeutic effect. There must be someone behind the scenes!" Mu Chengyan said.

Upon hearing this, King Liang's face immediately turned fierce, "Who! He ruined my plan? I will kill him!"

Mu Chengyan was silent for a moment, his gaze still on Yun Zhao.

The latter was reading a book and didn't look up for even a second.

"It's not her," Prince Liang said decisively, noticing Mu Chengyan's gaze. "Xiao Liu just came to check Yun Zhao's pulse and said her heart energy was damaged. He prescribed a large tonic. The medicine was brought over, and the smell was terrifying. Since Yun Zhao is so weak, she shouldn't be able to see others."

Mu Chengyan frowned.

I don't know why.

He always felt that this matter was inseparable from Yun Zhao.

"What should I do?" King Liang was at a loss.

Mu Chengyan lowered his eyes and said coldly, "It depends on whether you have the determination."

Upon hearing this, King Liang looked at Mu Chengyan in surprise, "What do you mean?"

Mu Chengyan raised his eyes and his gaze fell on the little emperor's room. "Besides the little emperor, you are the new emperor. If he wakes up, you will be doomed to lose everything. If a foreign king enters the capital without being summoned, he will only die. So, do you want to wait or take a chance?"

King Liang's eyes were fierce and determined, "Of course I will fight!"

Mu Chengyan tightened his hands beside his legs, "If you want to fight, you have to risk it all!"

King Liang nodded, "Everything is up to you!"

Mu Chengyan said, "If the little emperor doesn't wake up tonight, then naturally, everything will be abandoned. If he wakes up, you will lead your men in to attack him."

King Liang said in fear, "Regicide?!"

"What are you afraid of?"

"What am I afraid of?! It's just that... Xie Jingmo's soldiers are not pushovers. If I rush in without a reason, I won't be able to convince them later."

Mu Chengyan's eyes were dim, "Don't worry about this. I will have someone lead Deputy General Gao into the emperor's room. Then, you will rush in with your men under the pretext of an assassin and kill the emperor before anyone can react!"

"Now, we just have to wait and see if our emperor is truly blessed and lucky enough to wake up."

"Also," Mu Chengyan said to King Liang, "What I just said is a last resort. It would be best if the little emperor died and everything was resolved peacefully."

Prince Liang's eyes were dim, "You mean... let me guard this place and don't let anyone get close to the little emperor. If no one saves him, he might not wake up, and then I can sit back and wait for the throne."

Mu Chengyan nodded, "That's what I mean. But if there's really no other way, just kill your way in!"

King Liang clapped his legs and laughed, pulling at the wound on his mouth, "Okay! This is a good idea!"

Mu Chengyan stopped Prince Liang from leaving and whispered, "Remember what you promised me. After this is done, let me take Yun Zhao away."

King Liang nodded. "But Mu Chengyan, you have such talent. Why don't you pursue your ambitions in the court instead of going to that remote place?"

Mu Chengyan was too lazy to explain and just said, "Remember what you promised me!"

King Liang waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "I understand."

After Mu Chengyan finished speaking, he left.

Didn't stay with King Liang.

King Liang took a chair and sat at the door, waiting to see how the little emperor would recover.

He gave orders that anyone other than the imperial physician who approached the little emperor's room would be killed as an assassin!

Everyone obeyed the order.

The night grows darker and darker.

Yun Zhao was still reading a book while Fu Hai brought the night pearl from the Cining Palace.

The light of the night pearl fell faintly on the book, not dazzling, but warm.

King Liang seemed increasingly anxious.

He kept asking the people beside him, "Did you see anyone other than the imperial physician go in?"

Every time, everyone responded, “No.”

Doctor Li watched the moonlight gradually rise higher in the sky. He glanced at Yun Zhao who was still calmly flipping through a book.

The Queen Mother is the Queen Mother.

It's such a time, and you're still so calm.

He wiped the sweat from his palms on his pants, then looked at Yun Zhao.

Yun Zhao seemed to sense something and slowly turned his head to look over at this time.

Doctor Li gently stroked her throat, "Empress Dowager, take your medicine."

Yun Zhao stood up, and King Liang gave a look to the person beside him.

The people beside him immediately followed.

Yun Zhao found it funny and asked, "Why? Now I don't even have the freedom to take medicine? If I remember correctly, this medicine was prescribed for me by Xiao Liu this afternoon."

Yun Zhao looked at King Liang and said, "I remember that Xiao Liu is your man, right?"
