Chapter 272 Scoring twice
Soon the sound of hitting with a stick was heard outside the door. Perhaps because her mouth was blocked, Cai Luoyu's screams of pain were not heard.
The house was very quiet.
Chu Liuzheng and Madam Qi knelt side by side.
Xiao Jingfan glared at Chu Liuzheng: "Why aren't you getting up yet?"
Chu Liuzheng hesitated for a moment, then knelt more upright. "Your Majesty, please dismiss the attendants."
Important matter?
While Xiao Jingfan was secretly guessing what the important matter was, he ordered everyone else to leave.
Zhou Yuande led his men out, and a eunuch came over to escort Madam Qi.
Aunt Qi stood up obediently.
[Strange, why is this little boss, Aunt Qi, so obedient? Isn't she going to put up a fight?]
Chu Liuzheng turned his head to look, and happened to see a flash of cold light between Madam Qi's lips.
"Your Majesty, be careful!" Without thinking, she pounced on the emperor and threw him onto the couch.
At the same time, a dark blue poisonous needle flew past Chu Liuzheng's back, cut off his hair, and shot into the diamond-shaped window behind him.
A dark shadow flashed out and quickly and efficiently dislocated the joints of Aunt Qi's limbs, but it was no use.
Nanny Qi's eyes were wide open, black blood was oozing from the corners of her lips, and she was already dead.
On the couch, Xiao Jingfan was hit on the hardwood by Chu Liuzheng's head, which hurt so much that his head buzzed and he felt a bump.
He pushed the person who was pressing on him, intending to get Chu Liuzheng to stand up, but he didn't expect Chu Liuzheng to have no reaction at all.
"Chu Liuzheng?"
Chu Liuzheng still didn't respond.
Xiao Shiyi threw away Madam Qi's body and walked forward to pull the two of them up from the couch.
"My Lord, this girl has fainted."
Xiao Jingfan turned around and saw that Chu Liuzheng had his eyes closed and was unconscious.
He couldn't help but frowned: "What's wrong with her?"
"The poison needle cut through his clothes." Xiao Shiyi grabbed Chu Liuzheng's wrist and felt his pulse. "He was wearing thick clothes, so the needle didn't get on his skin. He's not poisoned."
Hearing this, Xiao Jingfan felt a little relieved and picked up the person and placed him on the bed in the inner room.
When he came out, the eunuchs and palace maids were kneeling on the ground. Zhou Yuande cried so hard that his fat face was twisted: "I am useless and frightened Your Majesty."
Xiao Shiyi also knelt down and apologized: "I am late in coming to your rescue, please punish me, my lord."
He never expected that Nanny Qi had the ability to hide a poison needle in her mouth. If Chu Liuzheng had not discovered it in time, His Majesty would have been poisoned by now.
Judging from the way Madam Qi died of the poison, it seems that the poison was fatal.
Thinking of this, Xiao Shiyi broke out in a cold sweat and raised his palm to break his heart meridian and die to atone for his sins.
"That's enough." Xiao Jingfan stopped him, rubbing his temples with a headache. "I still have a use for you. Go back to the camp and accept your punishment."
"Thank you for your grace, my lord." Xiao Shiyi kowtowed, stood up and used a handkerchief to remove the poison needle from the diamond-shaped window. His figure flashed and disappeared on the spot.
Of course, he just hid in the dark and had to wait for the person who was taking over the shift to arrive before he could leave.
"Everyone, get up." Xiao Jingfan waved his hand and said to Zhou Yuande, "Go and see if the imperial physician has arrived."
Zhou Yuande raised his sleeve to wipe away his tears and left.
In the yard, Cai Luoyu was lying on a bench, mumbling even though her mouth was blocked. Her voice was muffled and choked in her throat, sounding like she was crying.
Zhou Yuande reached out and pulled the cloth out of her mouth.
Crazy laughter immediately burst out: "Hahaha!!! Dead! All dead!! Dead is good!!"
"You're a fake emperor! You stole the throne! I won't...!"
Zhou Yuande was so frightened that his face turned pale. He immediately stuffed the towel back into her arms and winked at the two eunuchs who were carrying out the execution.
The two eunuchs understood and raised the board to continue beating.
Zhou Yuande walked out holding a whisk.
He originally thought that Cai Baolin would be more sensible when he was about to die and would confess something, but it turned out to be all nonsense, so there was no need to keep it.
A moment later, Cai Luoyu, who had been beaten with thirty sticks, was carried to the cold palace. Her back, buttocks and legs were covered in blood and her breath was almost gone.
Zhou Yuande led Doctor Zhuang into the house and stood behind the screen to watch Doctor Zhuang take Chu Liuzheng's pulse.
Doctor Zhuang frowned slightly and asked two palace maids to help Chu Liuzheng up.
He asked the palace maid to lift the hair at the back of Chu Liuzheng's neck and took a look.
It was all red and swollen, a horrible sight.
What a cruel move this was.
Doctor Zhuang sighed, asked the palace maid to put Chu Liuzheng back on the bed, and took his pulse again before leaving with the medicine box.
"Your Majesty, the girl inside has a wound on the back of her neck, likely from a heavy blow. Perhaps the injury caused her to fall into a coma."
Are you injured?
Xiao Jingfan was surprised: "Is it serious?"
"The wound is on the back of the neck, so I can't say for sure," Doctor Zhuang said truthfully. "I'll prescribe some internal and external medicine for the girl first, and then I'll make a thorough diagnosis after she wakes up tomorrow morning."
Xiao Jingfan nodded and told Xiao Anzi to go with him to the Imperial Hospital to get medicine.
Zhou Yuande arranged for someone to prepare a sedan chair and carry Chu Liuzheng back to the side room of the Yangxin Palace to recuperate.
Xia Qiaoru was waiting anxiously, her eyes swollen from crying. Now, seeing the person who was fine just now being carried back unconscious, the tears that had just stopped rolled out again.
She raised her hand and wiped it hastily, and followed the two maids who were carrying the person: "Slow down, be gentle."
The two maids had been instructed in advance and were very careful and gentle as they placed Chu Liuzheng on the bed.
Xia Qiaoru grabbed Xiao Anzi and asked, "Eunuch An, what happened to Liu Zheng?"
"Miss Liu Zheng suffered a lot and was abducted by Cai Baolin. They wanted to burn red charcoal on her." Xiao Anzi was scared when he said this. If he had gone a little later, who knows what would have become of her.
He imitated his master and chanted the Buddha's name in his heart. He handed the ointment to Xia Qiaoru and said, "Miss Liu Zheng has a wound on the back of her neck. This ointment was given by Doctor Zhuang to relieve pain and swelling. Remember to apply it to Miss Liu Zheng."
"Okay." Xia Qiaoru took it quickly and listened to Xiao Anzi say, "Someone from the pharmacy will come to deliver the medicine in a while. Miss, you must feed it carefully."
Xia Qiaoru nodded: "I've noted it all down. Thank you, father-in-law."
Xiao Anzi smiled at her politely and said, "I will return to report. Please stay here, young lady. If there is anything wrong with Miss Liu Zheng, please call the imperial physician."
Xia Qiaoru agreed, watched him go out, and then went to get some hot water to help Chu Liuzheng wipe his body.
Seeing the redness and swelling on the back of her neck and the bruises on her chin, I wanted to bite Cai Luoyu to death.
She sniffed to hold back her tears, opened the box and applied medicine to Chu Liuzheng.
In order to prevent her from pressing on the injured area, he turned her over and made her sleep on her side.
Just after I finished cleaning up, Xiao Xiazi brought the prepared medicine.
He glanced at the person on the bed through the gauze curtains and whispered to Xia Qiaoru, "Xiao Yunzi and I will be watching you all the time, so don't worry and drink."
"Thank you." Xia Qiaoru was just about to ask him to help lift Chu Liuzheng up and feed him medicine when there was a sudden knock on the door.
Xiao Xiazi went to open the door, and it was Siyue who came in.
"I heard from Chen Xing that Sister Liu Zheng was injured, so I came to check on her." Si Yue walked into the room and saw Xia Qiaoru holding a bowl of medicine. "I'm good at feeding medicine. Please help hold her up and I'll do it."
"Thank you." Xia Qiaoru handed her the medicine bowl and said to Xiao Xiazi, "It's getting late. You should go back and report quickly. Liu Zheng and Siyue will be able to handle it here."
"After you give me the medicine, I'll take the bowl away." Xiao Xiazi said, "I'll give it back tomorrow."
Xia Qiaoru forgot about this for a moment and nodded: "That's right."
Not to mention the feeding of medicine here, on the other side, the imperial sedan chair stopped at the gate of Jingming Palace.
The hall was brightly lit.
Xiao Jingfan looked up at the plaque of Jingming Hall and walked in.
