The imperial doctors ran in trembling with fear. Without waiting for them to salute, Nangong Yi grabbed one person by the collar and threw him to the bedside, "Hurry up and show it to the imperial concubine. If anything happens to the imperial concubine, you will all be buried with her!"
The imperial physician sweatdropped, "Yes, yes, we will do our utmost to treat the imperial concubine."
Nangong Yi took a few steps back to make room, and the imperial doctors immediately surrounded him. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
Su Ming advised, "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. The Imperial Concubine is blessed by heaven and will be fine."
Nangong Yi pursed her lips and said nothing. Her broken body could not withstand the torture. After being hit by such a sword and losing so much blood, how could she be okay?
The scene in his mind kept appearing where Lan Shuang risked her life to block the way without any hesitation, as if she didn't care about her own life or death at all.
How could someone be so stupid?
Even Su Ming didn't react, but she reacted immediately. She didn't think about escaping, but saving him.
No matter what, he couldn't take her life now, as he still owed her one.
Nangong Yi felt a sharp pain in his heart and was actually a little confused.
Why did she do this? Was it worth it? He clearly had never loved her, yet she truly risked her life for him.
The words that I had forgotten as soon as I heard them before suddenly became clear to me at this moment.
Every word Lan Shuang said to him, every look she gave him, was torn apart and crushed in his mind over and over again. Regret and regret kept surging in his heart, and he could hardly bear it anymore, so he pressed his chest.
The concubines and ministers who heard the news rushed over, but did not dare to come in and just waited outside.
The Duke of Zhenguo and his family stood by, extremely worried. The Duke of Zhenguo paced back and forth on the steps. Although he knew Lan Shuang's plan in advance, knowing was one thing and seeing it with one's own eyes was another. It would be a lie to say that he wasn't upset.
Suddenly, he felt that there was someone beside him. He turned around and found that it was the National Master. He was stunned, stopped and looked at the National Master, and they exchanged glances without saying a word.
The Duke of Zhenguo felt a little relieved. At least until now, everything was still going according to their plan.
The queen in the side hall also learned the whole story from the palace people, and she immediately understood why Nangong Yi looked at her like that.
Did he suspect that he was related to the assassin?
The queen found it ridiculous and disheartened, so she stood aside without saying a word.
The imperial physician quickly stood up, wiping the sweat from her face. "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine was pierced by a sword in the shoulder, but it didn't hit any vital organs. The bleeding has stopped now. She will be fine after applying medicine and bandaging and resting well. However, you must be extra careful during this period of recovery."
"Besides that, the Empress's heart disease is showing signs of recurring. She needs to take medicine immediately."
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and go!" Nangong Yi roared. The imperial physician trembled with fear and whispered, "Your Majesty, the medicine..."
He wanted to say something but stopped himself. Nangong Yi paused and suddenly remembered what the medicine was.
It was the death-prompting drug he had people prepare for Lan Shuang. If she drank it at this time, she might really die.
Thinking of this possibility, Nangong Yi's breath stopped and his heart tightened, as if he was the one with heart disease.
The imperial physician looked at his ever-changing expression and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, how do you want to use the medicine?"
Nangong Yi's hands creaked, "Use the best medicine and make sure to save the imperial concubine's life. Do you understand?!"
"Yes, yes, I understand!"
Several imperial physicians gathered together to discuss a prescription, and immediately had someone prepare the medicine accordingly.
Nangong Yi reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief. He sat down beside the bed, looked at Lan Shuang's bloodless face, and couldn't help but caressing it. "Hurry up and wake up. When you wake up, I'll take you to see the fireworks, okay?"
"Your Majesty, the assassin has been captured."
The Royal Guards rushed in. Nangong Yi's expression turned cold, and when he turned around, only murderous intent remained on his face. "How many did you catch?"
"We only caught one alive, the others ran away." The Royal Guards knelt on the ground, trembling.
Nangong Yi sneered: "One?"
The Royal Guard lowered his head even lower, "I am incompetent."
“It’s quite incompetent!”
Nangong Yi stood up with a flick of his sleeves. "With so many people, you can't even catch a few assassins. How can you make me believe that you can protect my safety?"
The Royal Guards were shocked: "Your Majesty, calm down!"
Nangong Yi let out a deep breath, "Keep that living person under guard and interrogate him thoroughly. I want to see who is so eager to die."
"yes!"
The Royal Guards took the order and left in a hurry. Nangong Yi glanced at Lan Shuang and couldn't let her go, so he turned back to look at her.
After a while, Lan Shuang's eyelashes trembled and she woke up.
Nangong Yi was overjoyed: "Shuang'er, are you awake? Don't move, your shoulder is still injured."
He gently held Lan Shuang's arm and looked at her with burning eyes.
Lan Shuang slowly opened her eyes and looked at Nangong Yi blankly, "Your Majesty? Where is this?"
"This is the side hall. You fainted just now, and I carried you here."
"Side Hall..."
Lan Shuang seemed to have remembered something and suddenly became excited. "The assassin, has the assassin been caught?"
She held Nangong Yi's hand and looked him up and down, "Your Majesty, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, thanks to you, otherwise that sword would have pierced my heart."
Nangong Yi still felt a lingering fear when he thought about it.
Lan Shuang visibly relaxed upon hearing this. She smiled weakly, "I'm glad you're alright. As long as your majesty is well, I'm not afraid anymore."
Her eyes were filled with complete relaxation and relief, as well as a fiery love for Nangong Yi. Nangong Yi's heart was pounding, and he was suddenly confused.
"Shuang'er." He called her name emotionally.
He couldn't help but want to bend down and kiss Lan Shuang, but Lan Shuang turned her head and suddenly started coughing.
Nangong Yi: “…”
Lan Shuang's cough affected her wound, and she couldn't help but take a deep breath. Nangong Yi's romantic thoughts instantly faded. "Lie down and don't move. The doctor said that your wound needs to be treated with extra care."
"Yeah." Lan Shuang responded and closed her eyes tiredly.
Nangong Yi pulled the quilt for her and said, "Take a nap first. I'll call you when the medicine is ready."
"good."
Lan Shuang closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, "Xiao Baba, what's Nangong Yi's favorability?"
888: "Host, you are sixty-five now. Your score has been rising since a while ago. You just increased by five points. You are now seventy."
"very good."
Lan Shuang was very satisfied with the result. She passed the test in one fell swoop. Nangong Yi has now fallen in love with her.
Next, it was her turn to take the initiative.
…
When the imperial physician's medicine was delivered, Lan Shuang asked 888 to check it and confirmed that it was non-toxic before drinking it. Not long after drinking it, she fell into a deep sleep.
Nangong Yi was afraid that any hasty movement would cause her wound to bleed again, so he simply had someone move Lan Shuang's things to the side hall and let her live there for the time being.
After everything was settled, he stood up and went out to deal with the assassin. When he went out, he saw the imperial teacher standing before the ministers.
