Xiao Lingyu's voice almost broke, and he quickly shut his mouth.
Jiang Kangan broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this.
emperor:"……"
That’s absolutely right.
He admitted that he was indeed suspected of what Zhiyu had said: "making empty promises."
But taking a step back, are the kings of all dynasties never wrong?
Which emperor doesn’t paint a rosy picture for his subjects?
After secretly refuting it in his heart, the emperor seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief and became cheerful.
Looking at Xiao Lingyu again, he was no longer as angry as he was at the beginning.
The emperor had no doubt about Xiao Lingyu's loyalty, but when he saw the secret letter, he couldn't help but feel suspicious.
Who is Ling Zizhong?
He was the sinner whom I personally ordered to be beaten to death, and whose body was hung on the city wall for three days as a warning to others!
Now that he has come back to life, Xiao Lingyu not only did not report it to him, but also secretly hid him in the mansion.
In addition, now, the body of the queen who disappeared out of thin air in the palace appeared in Xiao Lingyu's mansion.
How could the emperor feel at ease?
When Xiao Lingyu was young, the emperor was afraid that he would really think that he was the queen's biological son and have inappropriate thoughts, so he told him his life experience to prevent him from having real mother-son feelings.
But even if there is no blood relationship, they have been together day and night for more than ten years. It is impossible to say that there is no friendship at all.
Especially since Xiao Lingyu is soft-hearted and sentimental, if she is really provoked by Ling Zizhong and wants to find out the so-called truth...
The emperor sighed softly.
After a few simple words, Fuping led his people in.
Nearly fifteen people followed him, each holding an ornament in their hands, some big and some small. Fuping directed them to put the items away one by one.
The emperor nodded in satisfaction.
"Okay," he stood up, "I've seen the doctor, you should take good care of yourself."
Seeing Xiao Lingyu making another gesture of saluting, the emperor glanced at Jiang Zhiyu and waved his hand: "Forget it, just keep him."
He didn't want to be called shit by someone again.
The emperor came and left in a hurry.
The patient was almost finished being examined, and Jiang Zhiyu was packing up her medicine box to leave when a man came in from outside the hospital.
"How is it, how sick is it..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Jiang Zhiyu and his eyes froze.
Jiang Zhiyu also frowned slightly.
This person...
Xiao Lingyu's heart tightened, and he quickly said, "Uncle, it's just a cold, nothing serious."
[Uncle? Ling Zizhong? Didn't he die a long time ago?]
[Who is this? How can he pretend to be someone else?]
【It's obvious that he's not a serious person.】
Ling Zizhong was obviously startled by Xiao Lingyu's address. He subconsciously looked at Jiang Zhiyu. Seeing that Jiang Zhiyu's face looked normal, he felt relieved.
But I still don't dare to get close.
"I'm glad you're alright. Since I'm here, I'll come see you tomorrow."
He backed away as he spoke, his guilty conscience clearly revealed.
How could Xiao Lingyu be willing to let him go now? If he left now, it would be difficult to find out who was impersonating him.
And the emperor has obviously received the news. If he doesn't do something, I'm afraid...
Xiao Lingyu quickly said, "Since my uncle is here, why are you in such a hurry to leave? I can't go out, so come and talk to me to relieve my boredom."
How could Ling Zizhong agree? He was determined to leave, so he didn't say anything when he heard this, but secretly quickened his pace.
The guilty conscience was obvious, which aroused Jiang Zhiyu's curiosity.
After all, there is no such paragraph in the original book.
Her figure was like a ghost, and she blocked Ling Zizhong's way in an instant.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Have a cup of tea."
Being so close, Jiang Zhiyu saw the human skin mask next to Ling Zizhong's face at a glance.
[Eh~ What a counterfeit product! The edges are frayed!]
Xiao Lingyu: “???”
Although I didn't understand what he meant, I think he had discovered that this person was pretending to be someone else.
Ling Zizhong could almost hear his own heartbeat. He said sternly, "Who are you? How dare you block my way?"
"I'm Jiang Zhiyu, the doctor who treated him."
"Since you are a doctor, why are you stopping me? Is this also your method of treatment?"
Jiang Zhiyu chuckled: "That's not the case."
Ling Zizhong breathed a sigh of relief, but then she continued, "But who made me a good person? Besides, I think you look like a bad person."
Ling Zizhong: “…”
He gritted his teeth, assessed the strength of both sides in his mind, and finally snorted coldly and walked forward.
Jiang Zhiyu walked beside him, staring at his profile.
Ling Zizhong suppressed his anger and walked to the seat where the emperor had just sat and sat down. Jiang Zhiyu sat next to him, staring at him and slightly hooking his fingers a few times, eager to try.
Her eyes made people feel sinister. Ling Zizhong covered his face and asked, "What are you looking at, doctor?"
Jiang Zhiyu took his hand away through the handkerchief: "Don't worry about me, just talk about yourselves."
[Even if you put aside the mask, this person's scent is strangely familiar.]
I must have smelled it!
Xiao Lingyu racked his brains to think of a topic, and Ling Zizhong, who was eager to leave at the beginning, slowly started to discuss with him.
Later on, he even ignored Jiang Zhiyu's fiery gaze.
[Forget it, forget it. Why bother thinking so much? I've just killed tens of thousands of brain cells for nothing!]
【Why not just open it and take a look! 】
Ling Zizhong was so engrossed in his speech that he didn't even notice a sinful little hand reaching out from his side - "rip."
Ling Zizhong's voice stopped abruptly.
Although he covered it in time, half of the human skin mask was torn off, revealing his real face.
"Under the mask, there is an uglier mask."
Xiao Lingyu's pupils suddenly shrank.
He would never mistake that half of the face - it was Liu Jie!
No wonder I couldn’t find any trace of him no matter how hard I looked. So that’s why!
[No wonder he feels familiar. He smells like the golden medicine I mixed.]
Liu Jie, who was caught off guard and exposed, said: "!!!"
No, there is no such person!
He starts grabbing people's faces right away!
Even if you have doubts, you should try it step by step!
Although Liu Jie had a thousand words in his mind, now was not the time to speak them out. He stomped his left foot on the ground, jumped lightly, and was about to slip out of the window.
Jiang Zhiyu closed the window first.
Liu Jie couldn't control his strength and bumped into the opponent sideways, causing half of his arm to become numb.
He panted a few times, half-raised his eyes and stared at Jiang Zhiyu viciously, while his other hand pulled out a dagger from his sleeve.
Then, his eyes fell on Xiao Lingyu lying on the bed.
"I advise you to give up this idea. Even if you hold him hostage, I can still rescue him from you. And you will be branded as an assassin. Then, you will be shot to death by arrows."
Jiang Zhiyu raised his eyebrows slightly.
"..." Liu Jie gritted his teeth and said, "If I don't hold him hostage, can I still live?"
