The other person's face could not be seen clearly as he was hidden in the darkness, but he exuded a cold aura.
He rang the bell again, and the man stepped back in fear. Later he realized that the man seemed unable to speak, and he became even more frightened.
If I fail to complete the task assigned by Lord Kang, I will probably be sold out by him when I return.
So he immediately stepped forward, stretched out his hand and pinched the figure shaking the bell, and spoke viciously.
"You are an old man, and you actually want to scare me? You are dreaming."
The old man then spoke in a hoarse voice: "No living person should come near."
The subordinate was shocked and became more determined to kill the man in front of him. He was too evil.
As a result, the next moment, he only felt a pain in the back of his head, and when he fell back, he saw Shen Yuerong appear in front of him.
Shen Yuerong stood there holding a lantern and a porcelain bottle in her hand, and finally fainted.
After everyone fainted, Shen Yuerong stepped forward to check on the old man.
"Are you okay?"
The orange candlelight sprinkled on Shen Yuerong's delicate cheeks. The old man Gao lying on the ground was stunned for a moment, and in a trance he seemed to see the kind Doctor Shen.
He blinked, and then he saw Shen Yuerong clearly in front of him.
"It turns out to be the Princess, thank you for saving me again."
The person in front of him was none other than Old Man Gao.
After Shen Yuerong saw it clearly, her eyes flickered slightly. She didn't expect that the old man Gao, whom she had sent people to look for for so many days, would appear here.
She reached out and helped old man Gao up, sent him back to his room, and then took out some medicine for him.
Old Gao looked at Shen Yuerong in front of him, his eyes following her, his lips trembling slightly.
Finally he couldn't help but ask.
"Excuse me, Princess, do you know Doctor Shen?"
Shen Yuerong paused and looked up at the old man Gao in front of her.
"He is my father. In fact, I have been looking for you these days because I know that you saw something back then."
"Can you tell me everything?"
There was pain in Old Gao's eyes, as if those painful and torturous memories had once again come to his mind.
He covered his face with his old fingers, tears streaming from between them.
“Princess, I did see some things at the beginning. In fact, Doctor Shen was wrongly accused.”
"He just accidentally stumbled upon something. When the late queen had a difficult birth, he discovered something and went to report it to His Majesty. He met me on the way and briefly told me what happened."
"I thought he just said this out of turn, but I didn't expect that he would die on the way to the palace."
"I was in charge of collecting the body and found a few silver needles on his head, but they disappeared when I turned around. Later, I heard that Doctor Shen committed suicide."
Shen Yuerong became a little anxious when she heard this and asked hurriedly.
"What exactly is going on? Who killed the late queen?"
Old Gao slowly raised his head, a determined light flashing in his old eyes.
"He is a person we cannot afford to offend. He is the one who colluded with the Imperial Hospital and concealed the truth. He is——"
He was just halfway through his words when he suddenly stopped in his tracks, with a trace of blood flowing from his throat.
Old Gao was stunned for a moment, then he looked at his throat and found that he couldn't even speak.
Then he fell heavily to the ground, and his throat made a sound like a broken bellows.
Shen Yuerong was so scared that she stood up and looked around, only to see a dark shadow flash by the window.
“Peach Blossom!”
Taohua chased after him immediately, but Old Gao's pupils were already dilated.
He grabbed Shen Yuerong's hand and wrote a word tremblingly on his palm.
--back.
"It doesn't matter. I can save you. I can definitely save you. I'm a miracle doctor."
Shen Yuerong spoke with a trembling voice and covered the wound on his throat with a handkerchief.
As soon as she finished speaking, Old Gao's hand fell heavily and he was completely dead.
At that moment, the candle went out and everything around fell into darkness.
Chi Mu hurried over after hearing the noise and saw Shen Yuerong sitting in the dark guarding Old Man Gao.
He took two steps forward, wanting to comfort Shen Yuerong, and heard her extremely cold voice.
"Someone must know the truth and has been trying to erase all traces. It was me who harmed Old Gao. If I hadn't recognized him, nothing would have happened."
Shen Yuerong's voice was full of self-blame, and Chi Mu stepped forward to check on Old Man Gao's condition, his expression extremely serious.
"Rong'er, there's no need to blame yourself. Even if you hadn't shown up, he would have died for sure."
"Because he has been poisoned. He will definitely not survive for more than an hour."
Hearing this, Shen Yuerong looked up at Chi Mu in shock, tears still hanging in the corners of her eyes.
"Someone has already recognized him, right?"
At that moment, Shen Yuerong subconsciously thought of Mu Lingchuan's appearance.
Could it be him, since he was the only one who knew Old Gao?
As a result, a figure appeared at the door. It was Mu Lingchuan, holding an assassin in his hand.
He threw the assassin to the ground and spoke with a cold expression.
"Sister, I caught this man. You can interrogate him and ask who sent him."
The assassin fell to the ground. Shen Yuerong slowly stood up and took off the mask on his face, revealing an ordinary face.
But I soon recognized that this was a guy from the post station.
"Why did you attack Old Gao? Who told you to do that?"
The guy stared at Shen Yuerong with cold eyes, suddenly smiled, groaned, and fell to the ground.
Mu Lingchuan went forward to check the situation and found that the other party had committed suicide by taking poison.
"I'm sorry, Senior Sister. I didn't have time to check just now. There is poison hidden in his teeth. If you bite it, you will die."
Shen Yuerong stood there, feeling cold all over, and suddenly laughed.
