Chapter 672 Young man, be more careful
The man in eunuch's clothes was paler than paper. He kept saying "you...you" for a long while and then angrily called you shameless.
Madam Qin smiled and said, "If a doctor is not shameless, he will end up like them. Especially someone like me with superb medical skills that are unparalleled in the world. So many people covet me, and end up like them, one dead and the other disabled. How pitiful."
Doctor Wu: “…”
Everyone: “…”
Tang Ning chuckled, and Qian Qiyue's eyes curved with laughter.
The man on the ground glared at her with ferocious eyes, wishing he could kill Madam Qin. Unfortunately, before he could utter a single curse word, he felt a surge of heat rising in his body.
His face, which was originally whiter than paper, was instantly covered with a blush as if he was drunk. The heat enveloped his limbs and bones, as if something was flowing through his tendons and veins, making him vaguely feel as if he had never been injured. Even the pain of his broken hands and feet seemed to be suppressed in an instant.
The man looked terrified.
Madam Qin: "The drug is taking effect. You only have fifteen breaths. If you don't speak, you will lose your mind and won't be able to speak again."
"You are shameless..."
"One breath."
"Kill me, kill me!!"
"It's been three breaths."
Xiao Yan: "Since you don't want to talk, drag him away, strip him of his clothes and throw him in front of the palace gate!"
The black-armored guard stepped forward, carrying the man and trying to walk out. The man was instantly terrified. As soon as he thought about himself lying naked in front of the palace gate like an animal, being watched by everyone, he didn't care about his loyalty at all and screamed, "I say!!"
"Seven breaths."
Lady Qin reminded him, and the man didn't dare to delay, fearing that if he really did it in fifteen breaths, he would end up in a fate that he couldn't even cleanse himself of even after his death. Regardless of being held captive by the Black Armored Guards, he hurriedly said, "It was Commander Liu. It was Commander Liu who told me to do this. He said that as long as the Crown Prince dies, His Majesty can regain power, and His Majesty will reward me handsomely after the deed is accomplished!"
"you……"
Liu Tong'en opened his mouth to curse, but was pierced by a cold light.
The tip of the Jinyun sword pointed directly at Liu Tong'en, and the sharp blades in the hands of the surrounding black-armored guards forced Liu Tong'en to not dare to speak.
Xiao Yan said indifferently: "Go on."
The man trembled as he spoke, "Commander Liu and his men initially intended to target Princess Xiangning, hoping to use her to murder the Crown Prince. However, Duke Dingguo left too many people behind when he was in charge of the Forbidden Palace. Furthermore, Princess Xiangning is a cautious person, and she is extremely wary of those within the palace, making it difficult to succeed. Later, they set their sights on Miss Qian."
"Ever since Marquis Wenxin and his men went on their last southern expedition, Commander Liu discovered the Qian family's close ties with Duke Dingguo's mansion. Even the Ministry of Revenue concluded that the Duke disobeyed the Emperor's orders. Knowing that Minister Qian had defected to Duke Dingguo, and knowing that Miss Qian had a close relationship with Princess Xiangning, Commander Liu sought to frame Miss Qian for the crime of plotting to murder the Crown Prince."
"If Princess Xiangning wants to protect the Qian family and Miss Qian, she will definitely not sit idly by. The Queen Mother will die in the dispute with Princess Xiangning, and Commander Liu will take advantage of the chaos to capture Princess Xiangning and use this to threaten the people left in the capital by the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion..."
"If Princess Xiangning doesn't care about Miss Qian, not only will the Qian family and Duke Dingguo's mansion break off, but the Queen Mother will also find a way to summon Princess Xiangning alone, and she will still die at her hands. Moreover, Commander Liu and his men have ordered secret guards to attack and kill General Yin and Marquis Wenxin, hoping to lure Duke Dingguo out of the capital and trap him outside."
"It would be best if Duke Dingguo died. Your Majesty could completely reclaim power in the court and take back command of the army to suppress the rebellion. However, if Duke Dingguo were to return alive, he would be implicated in the assassination of the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince's death at the hands of the Qian family. Your Majesty could use Princess Xiangning to force him to back down."
Even though everyone in the hall had vaguely guessed the truth when they saw Emperor An's previous reaction, they were still filled with disbelief after hearing what this man said.
Marquis Wenxin's wife angrily exclaimed, "My husband and General Yin led the troops to suppress the rebellion, and this is how Your Majesty treats them?!"
Prince Ji's concubine's eyes widened. "Your Majesty, General Yin and his men are leading an army of hundreds of thousands to fight for the imperial court. Prince Pingshan is a murderer and has attacked several cities in a row. The rebels have almost occupied half of the southern border, and the people of the south are caught up in the war. How could you disregard the lives of those soldiers for your own selfish reasons?"
"If something happens to General Yin and his men, and Longkang is lost, will Your Majesty hand over the entire southern land to King Pingshan?"
Emperor An was questioned by the two women and his face turned pale. "He's talking nonsense. I have never sent anyone to the South, let alone known about the Empress Dowager..."
The man on the ground had a red face, and he felt the heat in his body becoming more and more scorching, and his face was red.
He had already sold out Emperor An and Liu Tong'en, and he knew that he would be put to death if he attempted to murder the crown prince. Now he only hoped that he could leave his body intact and dignified.
"Although Your Majesty didn't directly instruct him, Commander Liu has always obeyed only you. The Queen Mother has no power over him. The incense was handed to me personally by Commander Liu. Even the people who seduced Miss Qian and Marquis Wenxin's wife in Shoukang Palace today were arranged by Commander Liu early in the morning."
"Shoukang Palace has already laid a tight net before today. No matter what, the Crown Prince must die."
After the man finished speaking, sweat began to roll down his forehead. His face flushed terribly as his blood boiled. He looked at Madam Qin and said, "I've told you everything I know. Give me the antidote."
Madam Qin tilted her head: "What antidote?"
The man's eyes widened: "You clearly promised me..."
Madam Qin smiled and said, "Don't talk nonsense. When did I ever promise you anything? Besides, what you just took was just a pill that stimulates the human body's potential and makes your power soar. It's priceless. What antidote do you need? Don't you feel your blood vessels expanding and full of vitality?"
"You!" the man trembled, "You clearly said it was an aphrodisiac..."
"How is that possible?"
Madam Qin said righteously, "I'm a serious doctor. How could I carry such filthy things? What I carry are all effective medicines for curing illnesses and saving lives. Besides, who can be without a little bit of cunning when traveling in the world? You can tell from your lack of experience. How can you believe everything someone says?"
"Besides, I've been talking for fifteen breaths. How many breaths are there, and you're still able to speak clearly?"
"Young man, be more careful."
The man's eyes were red with anger as he listened to Madam Qin's earnest words. He stared at Madam Qin, said "you..." twice, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Madam Qin turned to look at Doctor Wu: "See? Your secret recipe is similar to this. After taking it, the blood and qi will expand, and the internal energy will be rejuvenated, but it will also destroy the heart and internal organs. Look, when he vomited blood, wasn't it similar to the empress dowager's vomiting blood before?"
Doctor Wu: “…”
Everyone in the hall: "..."
There's no need to teach at this time, it's creepy.
