He believed that with his medical skills, there would always be people willing to risk their own lives to ask him to save others, and then Ajiang could be allowed to survive. If his true qi itself was not poisonous, it would be useless even if it was exchanged with Ajiang's true qi. He would directly exchange it with Ajiang himself, and there would be no need to wait for others.
"I saved your life in exchange for my own because you are my lover, Aze, not just because I did it voluntarily." Seeing Xu Tianze like this, Long Mujiang knew what Xu Tianze was thinking.
"I saved one life, but lost another. You are not ashamed of me, but I am ashamed of you and that person."
The disciples of the Divine Doctor Valley have always taken saving lives as their fundamental purpose. The oath they took when they joined is still fresh in their minds. The fact that Xu Tianze can do this for Long Mujiang is enough to show his sincerity.
"But······"
"No buts."
Xu Tianze knew that Long Mujiang felt guilty and could only look for other ways, but in the end he found nothing. This treatment method was not something that could be easily found.
After thinking about it, Xu Tianze finally decided to develop an elixir that could kill himself. Then he could be buried with Ajiang and have a companion on the road to the underworld. But in the end, he was the only one left in this world.
"Master, master?" Xichen looked at his master with some concern. This master had been back from the palace for three days, but he still looked stupid.
If he had not observed carefully and confirmed that it was his master, he would have suspected that his master had gone to the palace and had someone replace him.
"Xichen, call Qingyuan over." Xu Tianze came back to his senses, looked at Xichen's worried expression, and shook his head. He couldn't just be depressed like this now. At least he had to make arrangements for the last two people around him.
Xichen looked at Xu Tianze worriedly, and after making sure that Xu Tianze had come to his senses, he went out and called Qingyuan in.
"How about what I asked you to do after I entered the palace?" Xu Tianze asked in a deep voice when he saw Qingyuan coming in.
He brought Qingyuan into the palace, and after entering the palace, he asked Qingyuan to investigate something he had always wanted to know, so Qingyuan did not show up when he went to the Palace of Heavenly Purity later. When he woke up in the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Qingyuan and Quande were standing quietly beside him.
His mind was in a mess at that time, and he took Qingyuan away without taking any steps. After he came back, he did not bother to ask Qingyuan. Now that he had to make the final arrangements, he had better get the information he wanted first so that he could make other plans.
"Master, the palace of Concubine Shu has been covered with dust for a long time. When I went there, I saw an old nanny staring at the palace. I only found out after she threatened me." Qingyuan paused here. He saw Xu Tianze signaling him to continue, and then he continued.
"That old nanny was originally the wet nurse of Concubine Shu, but later she became estranged from Concubine Shu due to instigation, and she has been staying in the laundry department ever since. On the night Concubine Shu committed suicide, the old nanny wanted to come and plead with Concubine Shu, wanting to return to her side."
"But she saw a palace maid leaving with Concubine Shu's head aunt. The old nanny immediately recognized the palace maid as Concubine Shu from her figure. She thought Concubine Shu was busy, so she left immediately, thinking of coming back the next day."
"Then the news came out that Concubine Shu committed suicide, right?" Xu Tianze looked at Qingyuan and subconsciously tapped the corner of the table with his index finger.
Qing Yuan nodded and added, "Before Concubine Shu was buried, the old nanny secretly took a look. Although the face was Concubine Shu's, the figure was somewhat different. Others might not be able to see it, but the old nanny had taken care of Concubine Shu and had been with her in the palace for many years. She was able to tell from some details that it was not Concubine Shu."
After Qingyuan finished speaking, he automatically stepped aside. Every time Xu Tianze was thinking, he would unconsciously tap the corner of the table. Now he was obviously thinking about Concubine Shu, so it was inconvenient for him to disturb him.
In fact, Xu Tianze asked Qingyuan to inquire about Concubine Shu's palace at the beginning because he suspected that Concubine Shu had committed suicide. This was because he and Long Mujiang had correspondence with Concubine Shu three years ago, and there was nothing unusual about Concubine Shu in the letters.
She just told them to take good care of themselves and not to have conflicts over trivial matters. In addition, before leaving Shangjing City, Concubine Shu had no feelings for Emperor Gan at all, so she was indifferent to Emperor Gan's death.
Under such circumstances, Xu Tianze couldn't understand why Concubine Shu would commit suicide. He even scoffed at the statement that Concubine Shu was reluctant to leave the emperor and followed him directly.
As a result, the incident in the Palace of Pure Love directly overturned his cognition and made him doubt everyone again. He did nothing else during these three days. He seemed to be stupid, but in fact he was living his life carefully in his mind, wondering if there were any secrets hidden.
Now that he knew that Concubine Shu was still alive, he was a little curious whether Concubine Shu was also one of the insiders, knowing what Long Mujiang really wanted, and whether she had secretly made arrangements in some places, waiting for him to jump in.
"Today, when the city gates are about to close, Qingyuan, you leave. Under the floor to the right of my study desk is the money I prepared for you." Xu Tianze looked at Qingyuan with a smile, his tone extremely gentle, and if you listened carefully, you could still detect a hint of reluctance in it.
He and Qingyuan grew up together. Although he also grew up with Long Musi, Song Yu, and Jiang Xue, Qingyuan ate and slept with him, so their relationship was naturally better. When the Xu family was massacred, he felt guilty and missed Qingyuan.
Later, when he saw Qingyuan, he was really happy. He was glad that Qingyuan survived. Even though he knew that Qingyuan was Xu Li's illegitimate son, he couldn't kill Qingyuan directly.
Later, Qingyuan continued to follow him. No matter what the task was, Qingyuan would complete it. He knew that Qingyuan felt guilty towards him, but his life experience was not something Qingyuan could choose, so he could not blame Qingyuan.
"Master, didn't you say it would take a few days? Why is it so soon?" Qing Yuan was reluctant to leave.
He had finally managed to stay with the young master again, but now he was leaving again, and never to see him again. He had not yet atoneed for his sins, and he had not yet seen his master successfully escape from this vortex. How could he just leave now?
"The time has come, it's time to leave." Xu Tianze sighed, then stood up and pulled Qingyuan to sit next to him. "You and I have been friends since childhood. Even though there have been many twists and turns in the middle, our friendship is unbreakable."
"If you continue to stay, I will have to take care of you in many things. At that time, your life will be more important than mine. It is better for you to leave now. The sky is high and the sea is vast, and we will meet again someday." Xu Tianze smiled and handed Qingyuan a jade pendant that he had prepared long ago.
