Chapter 172: Exchange Her Life for Grace



The official in charge of the interrogation had a gentle attitude. He was specifically instructed by his superiors not to embarrass the wife of Marquis Anguo and to be careful with his words and attitude.

Of course he knew this.

To make things difficult for the wife of Marquis Anguo is to make things difficult for himself, and he could lose his job in a minute.

So, Xie Qingyao was released after just going through the motions.

Soon, the people from the Grand Marshal's Office found out that it was done by a Turkic spy lurking in the capital city.

The Turkic spies assassinated the princess, which was a provocation to the dignity of Daxia and a disgrace to Daxia.

Xie Qingyao: "..."

She went to ask He Zheng, "Did the Marquis know that the Turkic spies were lurking in Shangjing?"

He Zheng said calmly: "Yes."

"I discovered a hidden Turkic spy, so after receiving the news from the Dark Chamber, I took action against Yong'an. The crime of assassination will fall on the Turkic spy."

"The Imperial Guard Command is responsible for protecting the capital. The princess's assassination is a dereliction of duty for the Imperial Guard Command. Commander Wei Yicheng will be dismissed."

"Guardian Assistant Commander Dou Xiao will soon replace Wei Yicheng."

Xie Qingyao was stunned: "..."

Her breathing became disordered.

He shot the princess and made the Turks the scapegoat. He also eliminated the Wei family members and replaced them with his own people.

So in that less than a minute, He Zheng had already thought of everything that would happen next. He was not acting on impulse, but was a long-term thinker who was in control of everything.

Seeing her stunned, He Zheng pursed his lips and called out, "Yaoyao."

Xie Qingyao came back to her senses and said with a smile, "My Lord, you have a good brain."

At this time, inside the palace.

Princess Yong'an lay on the wide couch, her eyes closed and her breath barely catching.

On the side of her pale face, there was a thumb-sized, red, spider-shaped birthmark.

Concubine Yin clenched her hands tightly and ordered the imperial physician, "Quickly apply medicine to Princess Yong'an to suppress the birthmark. You already know the seriousness of this matter, so don't leak it."

The imperial physician was trembling with fear and dared not disobey.

He would not tell anyone either, as the lives of his entire family were in the hands of Concubine Yin.

The birthmark on Princess Yong'an's face has gradually expanded as she grows older. If this continues, I'm afraid it will not be able to be suppressed later.

As soon as Princess Yong'an was brought into the palace, Emperor Jinde summoned all the imperial doctors to treat her.

Now that the arrow has been pulled out, he can be considered to have been saved.

Emperor Jinde came to visit Princess Yong'an again and asked slowly, "Princess, why haven't you woken up yet?"

The imperial physician was sweating profusely, his face pale. "Your Majesty, although the arrow was removed, it was only half an inch away from the heart, causing great damage."

"Princess Yong'an has injured her heart meridian and can only survive with the help of thousand-year-old ginseng. The situation is not optimistic."

Emperor Jinde was getting impatient and said, "Stop hemming and hawing and just speak!"

The imperial physician knelt on the ground with a plop: "Your Majesty, the princess is now as good as a living dead. You must protect her heart meridians, otherwise she will die in a day."

"What did you say?" Concubine Yin's face was completely pale. If Emperor Jinde hadn't helped her, she would have collapsed to the ground.

Her face was extremely pale, her body was cold to the bone, and she had difficulty breathing.

Will her Yongan die?

"No!"

"I order you to heal the princess immediately!"

Concubine Yin shouted without caring about her image collapse.

"Your Majesty, Mother, how is Yong'an?" The King of Qin hurried over, his face full of anxiety and uneasiness.

But Concubine Yin looked as pale as death.

The imperial physician knelt on the ground, trembling.

This, this situation, could it be that Yongan...

King Qin’s head was buzzing.

"Waste! I order you to save her!" He kicked the imperial physician over.

Emperor Jinde frowned and said, "Yu'er, Yong'an is still alive."

King Qin managed to calm down.

Emperor Jinde asked the imperial physician again, "How can we protect the heart meridian?"

The imperial physician climbed up and said, "The Medical Saint Xiao Wuhuo's Xuanxin Needle Method can cure it."

King Qin: "Medical Saint Xiao Wuhuo? Okay, I will immediately send people to look for him. Even if I have to dig three feet underground, I will find him."

The imperial physician did not hold out much hope. The Medical Saint had always been elusive and wandered around everywhere. No one knew where he was. If he was not in the capital at this time, the princess would be beyond saving.

The imperial physician dared not say such words that would lead to beheading.

Emperor Jinde ordered the posting of an imperial edict, offering a large reward for finding the medical saint Xiao Wuhuo.

Anguo Marquis Mansion, study.

Xie Qingyao heard about the imperial edict and twitched her lower lip. "Princess Yong'an is really lucky. She's still alive. But Master went up the mountain to collect herbs. By the time he returned, the princess was already dead."

Xi Feng: "Madam is right, so Princess Yong'an is doomed to die."

Xie Qingyao held her chin with one hand, thinking for a moment.

After half a day, as time was running out, Princess Yong'an looked even worse, and sometimes she could hardly breathe.

Concubine Yin burst into tears.

Emperor Jinde's expression wasn't looking good either.

In the evening, Eunuch Cao reported to Emperor Jinde, "Your Majesty, the wife of Marquis Anguo has unveiled the imperial edict."

Emperor Jinde paused holding the red brush and said, "Announce."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Cao went to invite Xie Qingyao into the hall.

Xie Qingyao: "Your Majesty, your humble servant Xie Qingyao pays respects to you."

Emperor Jinde was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe. He leaned forward slightly, his eyes falling on Xie Qingyao.

"Do you have a way to save the princess?"

Xie Qingyao raised her head and said honestly, "Yes, I am the last disciple of the Medical Saint, and I happen to know the Xuanxin acupuncture technique."

As soon as these words came out, Eunuch Cao's eyelids twitched, and he was obviously surprised.

She is so young, yet she has become the last disciple of the Medical Saint.

Emperor Jinde seemed very calm.
