Yueying said, "Yesterday I led people out of the city gate. The scene was just as you said, very grand. Basically, by the time we got there, the group of people in black had disappeared. Only Tian Zhao and his men were left there."

"Tian Zhao and his men were very loyal, but the bad news is that they suffered heavy casualties. Of the three thousand soldiers, one thousand were seriously injured, and three hundred died. The rest were injured in various ways."

"But don't worry, the emperor has arranged for the best imperial physician to go there and give them the best treatment and medicine."

Zhao Ji was relieved when he heard this. He asked, "How is Tian Zhao?"

Yueying thought for a moment and said, "He is a man with numerous knife wounds on his body. One sword wound went straight through his ribs, possibly damaging his internal organs. His injuries are very serious. The imperial physician can only use ginseng to keep him alive!"

Zhao Ji couldn't wait to hear this: "Have they settled in the palace? I want to go and take a look!"

Yueying nodded and led Zhao Ji on the way.

The emperor still had a conscience and settled these people in a nice palace in the palace, which was lit all night long.

Zhao Ji frowned slightly when he saw Tian Zhao lying on the bed with a pale face.

Tian Zhao is a man of sentiment and righteousness. He really shouldn't be so weak and depressed.

Zhao Ji looked at the imperial doctors who were standing there trembling with fear. He knew that these imperial doctors only used conservative prescriptions and he probably couldn't count on them.

"You guys go back first, I have something to ask Deputy General Tian!" Zhao Ji made up an excuse and sent all these people away.

Even Yueying was not left behind.

Tian Zhao had a high fever and his life was hanging by a thread. Even his breath was extremely weak.

Zhao Ji put his hands on Tian Zhao's body and couldn't even hear a single word of Tian Zhao's inner thoughts.

If it weren't for the fact that there was still a trace of warmth left in his subordinate's body, Zhao Ji would have thought that Tian Zhao was already dead.

After using his internal energy to travel around Tian Zhao's body, Zhao Ji discovered that Tian Zhao was seriously injured and many of his meridians were broken.

Even the knife wounds were very deep. The most fatal one was the penetrating wound under the ribs, which has not healed yet and is even slightly inflamed.

Zhao Ji frowned and used his inner strength to comb Tian Zhao's entire body. He could only say that if Tian Zhao was not very strong, he would not have survived. When Zhao Ji came to see him, he was already dead.

Zhao Ji's internal energy focused on wrapping Tian Zhao's wound, healing it bit by bit.

It took a lot of effort to heal Tian Zhao's wounds.

After Zhao Ji's treatment, Tian Zhao's face looked a little more rosy and his breathing became heavier.

Zhao Ji didn't dare to treat it too obviously, after all, there were imperial doctors guarding here.

After saving Tian Zhao's life, Zhao Ji left and went to check on the other soldiers.

Zhao Ji held the special gold medal and could move in and out of the harem as if he was in an empty place.

There were no palace maids or eunuchs to stop him, and Zhao Ji arrived at the Queen's palace.

During the time that Zhao Ji went to Hua'an County, the queen no longer hid in the harem.

During this period, the Queen wanted to get close to the Emperor every day, mainly to make her presence felt and to pave the way for the Third Prince.

Unfortunately, the emperor is now more interested in young beauties and is only concerned with the queen. They only met once and exchanged a few words.

However, the queen also took this opportunity to bring out the third prince.

Although the Queen extremely disliked and hated the Third Prince, she was ultimately no match for her father, the Prime Minister.

The third prince is the hope of the prime minister's lineage. How could he be confined to the palace for such a long time?

As soon as the third prince was released, the prime minister arranged for people to protect him, and even used a topic in the court to get a job for the third prince.

They were targeting the third prince and wanted to make this assignment famous so that they could submit a petition to the emperor to appoint the third prince as the crown prince.

Zhao Ji came to the queen's palace. At this time, the queen was dressing in front of the mirror. The queen was in a very good mood today because the emperor asked the queen to choose first because of the treasures presented by the foreign gang.

This gave the queen great face in the harem, so the queen chose slowly and leisurely, commenting as she went along.

Zhao Ji happened to come across this scene when he arrived.

"Your Majesty is in a good mood. Do you have time to discuss this with me?"

As soon as Zhao Ji's voice sounded, the queen's expression changed slightly, and she took great effort to maintain her dignity.

"What do you want to talk about?" The queen stretched out her hand and asked the palace maids and eunuchs around her to step back.

Zhao Ji slowly approached the queen and stroked her delicate face with his hand: "I really want to talk. Queen, have you missed me during this period of time?"

The queen dodged back, avoiding Zhao Ji's hand, and said in a high-handed tone, "Be more respectful and talk about the matter. Why are you making a move here?"

Zhao Ji was not angry when he was avoided, and he directly pulled the queen into the palace.

"What are you doing? Let me go!" The queen didn't dare to shout loudly and could only struggle slightly and resist.

In Zhao Ji's opinion, this amount of strength is not as good as a kitten kicking its legs.

"Your Majesty, just tell me whether you have missed me during this period. There is no need to say anything else!" Zhao Ji deliberately leaned close to the Queen's ear and said.

The familiar man's scent enveloped her, and the queen couldn't help but soften her body, as if she was throwing herself into his arms.

Zhao Ji took this opportunity to stop the queen's body:

[Why is my body so weak... This damn eunuch came to find me as soon as he came back, but how interested is he in me? ]

[Pah, pah, pah, how can I, a queen, have a secret meeting with such a person? ]

Zhao Ji leaned close to the queen's ear and said, "Does the queen hate me so much that she actually sent people to kill me outside the city?"

The Queen's consciousness was slightly blurred, and she subconsciously said, "What?"

Zhao Ji didn't bother to care what the queen said on the surface. What he wanted to hear was the queen's true thoughts.

[Assassination? When was the assassin sent nearby? ]

[Outside the city? When did this happen? ]

[Strange, if it was father who was going to do it, why didn't he tell me in advance? It shouldn't be father! Father has been busy pushing that rubbish Third Prince to the top. How can he have time for these things? ]

Many speculations flashed through the queen's mind, and Zhao Ji listened for a long time but didn't hear anything useful.

I might as well continue with what I was doing. Since the queen didn't know about this, I might as well take her aside and let her concentrate on doing something else.

Talking about these times of lovemaking, the queen only struggled violently in the beginning, but later on she could be said to be completely obedient.

Probably because he didn't appreciate the beauty of this matter, after Zhao Ji finished his business with the queen, he turned around and left.

But before leaving, he said something meaningful: "Queen, are you really worried about letting that useless Third Prince stay in this position? How do you think he will treat you as his mother after he takes the throne?"

"Will the Prime Minister really keep the secret? Will the Third Prince remain unaware of his own origins?"
