If Song Yu is a venomous snake with a very good appearance but a cold-blooded heart, then Long Muse is a lion with a furry face but a bloodthirsty and arrogant heart; the prince is a Border Collie who appears harmless on the surface but is actually very smart.
The Xian Wang is a cat from the inside out, the kind of clingy and tsundere little guy, and also Xu Tianze's favorite little guy.
"Aze, what are you laughing at?" The wise king was a little embarrassed and annoyed. They were clearly discussing matters of life and death, so how did it suddenly become like this?
Xu Tianze embraced the virtuous king again. He understood the guilt in the virtuous king's heart and also understood the feelings between them.
That's why he took over everything so lightly, because he couldn't blame anyone too much, after all, he was the ultimate beneficiary.
But that doesn't mean he is willing to let the wise king leave alone. At worst, he can still help at the last moment.
When he thought of this, Xu Tianze hugged the virtuous king tightly and no longer wanted to say any unnecessary words, because any words would be too pale and powerless now.
After being embraced by Xu Tianze, the virtuous king buried his head in Xu Tianze's chest. He had been in panic ever since he received the letter from Xue Cui last time.
How much he despised Song Yu's actions in the past, and now it is so difficult for him to express it in words.
He didn't know how to face his lover, and he didn't know how desperate Xu Tianze would be when the truth was revealed.
He was always worried and even shamefully glad that his Aze would not live long. Perhaps he would never know the truth of the matter and would leave in the end with the love they had for each other.
"Thank you." The wise king said silently in his heart.
Thank you Aze for giving him all his love, and thank you Aze for making him understand that he has another way to live.
What’s more, I am grateful that Aze loves him as a person, not his identity, status or power.
After Xu Tianze and the virtuous king had their talk, they became even closer.
Long Musi used to visit them often, but when he saw how affectionate the two of them were, he visited less and less often.
However, he did not hide anything about what happened in the court and told them everything.
After the final list of the imperial examination was sent to the palace, Emperor Gan directly punished many ministers in the court. Anyone who expressed dissenting opinions would be punished with the same crime.
Overnight, the capital city was a river of blood, and everyone was in danger. Afterwards, Emperor Gan ordered the Crown Prince, Long Musi, and Song Yu to re-draft the list and admit the truly talented people into the court.
In a short time, new nobles emerged in large numbers, and the reputation of Emperor Gan and his companions rose among the people. Even though Xu Tianze and the virtuous king did not show up in the end, they still won a lot of favor among the people.
The Empress Dowager was still locked in the Yiku Palace. There was no movement from Concubine Shu. As for the Princess, she was assisting Emperor Gan in suppressing the rebellion in the capital.
It was not until the princess used the token to mobilize three thousand imperial guards and one thousand phoenix guards that the officials in the capital city realized how much the two emperors, the late emperor and the Qian emperor, trusted the princess.
"Uncle master, has the master allowed me to go and see him?" Xu Tianze was still making tea, but he stood up as soon as he saw the ghost doctor.
He couldn't help but be nervous. Ever since he was convinced that the virtuous king had exchanged his life for his, he knew it must be his master, Master Qi, who had come.
But when he wanted to meet with Mr. Qi, the ghost doctor was always guarding the gate of the hospital and did not give him any chance to visit.
If he hadn't heard from the wise king that Old Qi was still alive, he might not have been able to remain so calm.
However, no matter how calm he was, it was only superficial. He still wanted to meet his master, which was why he was excited to see the ghost doctor suddenly appear in Prince Xian's Mansion.
"Well, senior brother wants to see you." The ghost doctor looked at Xu Tianze with an indescribable look.
Although his senior brother was about to die because of the man in front of him, and he didn't want to see this person at all, but no matter what, he couldn't let his senior brother die with regrets.
"Go and see him." The ghost doctor held back his sobs and turned away.
He was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and would poison Xu Tianze to death. Even though he knew that Xu Tianze was immune to all poisons, he could not suppress such an impulse.
"Ajiang, let's go." Xu Tianze had been paying attention to the ghost doctor's expression, and he did not miss the loneliness in the ghost doctor's eyes.
As for the other resentment and a hint of murderous intent, he didn't care at all.
Put yourself in his shoes. If it were someone around him who gave up his life for someone, he would also hate that person.
What's more, he himself was the person involved. Although he seemed to no longer regret his own incompetence, every time he looked up at the wise king, he still felt regret and despair in his heart.
Come to think of it, the dejected look on the ghost doctor's face gave Xu Tianze a very bad feeling, so Xu Tianze wanted to get up immediately and rush to Prince Jing's Mansion.
Seeing Xu Tianze so anxious, the wise king silently stood up and followed Xu Tianze. Although there was no expression on his face, he kept sighing in his heart.
It has been more than half a month now. According to Mr. Qi's physical condition, he would only live three to five days. It was the ghost doctor who used all his medical skills to let Mr. Qi live for so many more days.
It was because of this that he was able to survive until now, but it seems that Mr. Qi is now at the end of his strength.
"Master, how come you are here?" Xu Tianze got off the carriage and went straight to Mr. Qi's yard. He didn't even greet Long Musi who was standing beside him.
But when he saw Old Qi lying on the bed, he couldn't help being shocked. He walked towards Old Qi step by step.
Every step he took seemed to use up all his strength. When he arrived in front of Mr. Qi's bed, he knelt on the ground and reached out to hold the old, dry hand.
"Ze'er, you're here." Old Qi seemed to have just sensed the situation outside. He slowly opened his eyes, his breath free.
"The heart-eating poison insect is an extremely ferocious one. It's still good now. You don't have to worry about me." Old Qi turned his cloudy eyes to Xu Tianze, wanting to take another good look at his disciple.
He was the one who copied this poisonous insect, so he naturally knew that once the final time limit was reached, the poisonous insect would directly suck the life, blood, and bone marrow of the host.
He originally thought that this was painful enough, so he transferred the insect into his own body, but he didn't expect that the insect would actually prepare to completely eat his heart, and he was afraid that it would break out of his body again.
Even in the last days, he could not get a moment's peace. Fortunately, his junior brother was still by his side.
So Master Qi asked his junior fellow apprentice to use acupuncture to block all the acupuncture points, and he had to rely on daily medicine to survive, but he finally managed to completely keep the insect inside his body.
"Master, it is clearly my responsibility to bear this. I am unfilial." Xu Tianze noticed the bump on Master Qi's left arm and felt even more guilty.
He originally thought that his master had dealt with the poisonous insect, but he didn't expect that it would eventually transfer to his own body.
