Chapter 649 You Come With Me and Break In
The Azure Dragon Protector's eyes flickered as he glanced at the bloodstains on Jiang Nuanzhi's skirt, then slowly clasped his hands in a fist salute: "Yes, Young Master."
Then, in the blink of an eye, he disappeared.
After giving her instructions, she didn't dare delay for a moment. She immediately hurried towards the Emperor's palace. At this critical moment, she was also afraid that something might happen to the Emperor.
Xiao Yuanshan was watching intently, plotting something. Regardless, he hadn't made a move yet; once the Emperor ran into trouble, he would definitely cause some trouble.
Jiang Nuanzhi had a feeling that Xiao Yuanshan was preparing a big move.
Now that Grand Tutor Fang has probably arrived at the mansion, Uncle Xin will certainly not let him take the children away easily; it will probably take a while longer.
Now, as long as the Azure Dragon Protector can eliminate that scourge in time, both Baozhu and Xuanting will naturally be safe and sound.
While lost in thought, he also went along the way to administer acupuncture to the emperor.
With the help of the divine physician Que, Jiang Nuanzhi is becoming more and more adept at her work. In fact, she can even know what Jiang Nuanzhi wants just by reaching out her hand.
The two worked together seamlessly, and in no time at all, Jiang Nuanzhi finished performing acupuncture on the Emperor.
Only after taking his pulse again did I breathe a sigh of relief.
"Alright, His Majesty is calmer now and should wake up later."
As Jiang Nuanzhi was speaking, she turned around and saw that all the important officials were looking at her strangely.
Jiang Nuan looked over, somewhat confused. Everyone instinctively looked away, but the only one who could meet her gaze was Doctor Que.
When Doctor Que met Jiang Nuanzhi's gaze, he was momentarily taken aback and felt a strange chill. The next second, he turned away, dispelling the eerie feeling. This was Doctor Jiang, after all. It was truly unbelievable that he was now afraid of this little girl.
Just thinking about her indifferent appearance on the city wall earlier sent a chill down her spine.
Even now, I don't dare to look at her for a moment.
Although he knew exactly what the many ministers in front of him were feeling, it was simply because she had just killed someone on the city wall, and now the emperor's life depended on her, which they found strange.
What's even stranger is that she uses the same face and the same expression to save people and kill them, yet she appears completely different to everyone. For a moment, you might not even know which one is the real her.
However, there was no way to explain these things to Jiang Nuanzhi at this time.
After a moment of confusion, Jiang Nuanzhi ignored everyone around her and instinctively looked for Xiao Yuanshan among the important officials in the court.
After circling the officials twice, Jiang Nuanzhi still couldn't find Xiao Yuanshan. She glanced at Grand Secretary Zhang behind her and saw him staring at the Emperor in a daze, seemingly lost in thought.
Jiang Nuanzhi's heart skipped a beat for some unknown reason.
The next second, he turned around and went out.
"Keep it a secret, Dr. Jiang, what are you up to?"
All the ministers' eyes were on Jiang Nuanzhi, as if they wished they could poke her through with their gazes.
"What are you all doing? His Majesty has now granted me permission to live in the palace. As a subject's wife, I cannot possibly live in His Majesty's bedchamber, can I?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yong, who had asked the question, was suddenly taken aback. He was filled with worry for the Emperor's health, and Jiang Nuanzhi's words sounded strange to him. He could only subconsciously ask, "Then where do you live?"
Jiang Nuanzhi blinked: "Of course I live with the Crown Prince. Right now, the Emperor doesn't have anything to do, so I'll go and tell the Crown Prince first."
Hearing her words, Wang Yong's lips twitched even now: "You, a noblewoman, can't be in the Emperor's bedchamber, but you can be in the Crown Prince's bedchamber?"
Jiang Nuanzhi looked at Wang Yong as if he were an idiot: "I am the Crown Prince's teacher's wife. He was ill before and has been by my side for the past six months. What's the problem?"
As Jiang Nuanzhi spoke, she turned and walked out.
Wang Yong stopped him again: "You're just making excuses! Besides, you can't leave now. His Majesty just punished you, and you're still a criminal. You're also His Majesty's physician. You can't leave until His Majesty wakes up!"
Jiang Nuanzhi looked at the stubborn old man in front of her and narrowed her eyes in a daze.
Across from him, Wang Yong's Adam's apple bobbed nervously, his aged hand protecting his chest as he warily said, "What...what are you going to do? I, Wang Yong, am a veteran official of three dynasties, a high-ranking official of the country. I am not afraid of a little woman like you."
Jiang Nuanzhi gritted her teeth, exhaled through her nose, and looked at the people around her. Clearly, these people were not going to watch her leave.
He took a deep breath and said, "Fine, I won't leave. I'll have someone go check on His Highness the Crown Prince, okay?"
As he was saying this, he suddenly realized something was wrong: "Something's not right. Today is a great day for the three armies to set out on an expedition. Why haven't I seen Xuan Ting since this morning?"
The more Jiang Nuanzhi thought about it, the more panicked she became: "His Majesty is seriously ill, and His Highness the Crown Prince should be by his side attending to him. Why haven't I seen His Highness the Crown Prince since I woke up this morning?"
Upon hearing Jiang Nuanzhi's question, Wang Yong instinctively averted his gaze: "His Majesty has more important matters to entrust to His Highness the Crown Prince. These matters do not need to be discussed with a mere imperial physician like you, do they?"
As they were talking, Jiang Nuanzhi vaguely heard a sigh. She turned around abruptly and saw that the person who sighed was Prince Su. He was quite old now, with cloudy eyes and a somewhat decrepit appearance. After sighing, he continued to sit, as if he had not heard what everyone was saying.
"Get out of my way!"
—Jiang Nuanzhi's eyes flashed with anger, and without saying a word, she pushed aside Wang Yong, who was blocking her way, and instantly drew her dagger.
Damn it, could this damn emperor really be planning to harm Xuan Ting?
Even the arc doesn't eat its own offspring, so saving myself is definitely more important than saving him!
If only I had killed him yesterday, Li Rong would have been in the capital then, and no matter how much trouble Xiao Yuanshan caused, Xuan Ting's throne would have been secure. Even if he were kept in check by Xiao Yuanshan, at least his life would have been safe.
Jiang Nuanzhi was extremely anxious at this moment. The guards who tried to stop her had already been kicked away by Dongzang beside her.
"Lord Wang, have you thought this through? The Emperor ordered me to stay in the palace, so my not leaving doesn't constitute disobeying the decree. But you're strangely blocking my way, forbidding me from seeing the Crown Prince. Could it be that you've secretly harmed the Crown Prince?"
Jiang Nuanzhi's eyes turned cold: "If you dare to touch me, even the Emperor won't survive. Only I can save him. But if I kill you, I can probably save my own life. If anyone doesn't believe me, they are welcome to come and try!"
Jiang Nuanzhi's clear, cold voice was neither loud nor soft, but it struck everyone's hearts like a heavy blow. For a moment, everyone around looked at each other, none of them willing to be the first to speak up.
Wherever Jiang Nuanzhi went, people stepped aside to make way for her.
Jiang Nuanzhi arrived at Xuan Ting's bedchamber with great anxiety.
From afar, seeing a group of guards surrounding Xuan Ting's bedroom in layers, his heart sank to the bottom of the lake.
"You all come with me and break in! Anyone who tries to stop us, kill them!"
For a moment, Jiang Nuanzhi's eyes turned bloodshot.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, please don't sleep, please have a bite to eat first?"
In Chengqian Palace, An Dehai stood in front of Xuan Ting's bed. His eyes were red, and he bent down to hold a bowl of white porridge. He sniffed and fed the porridge to Xuan Ting's mouth again.
