Chapter 296 He is afraid of death

Zhuo Hongli lowered his eyes, thinking that the worst case scenario was that if she knew the truth, he would really have no choice but to hurt her to keep her.

This time, he absolutely did not want to regret it again and would never let her go.

Yu Garden had already been taken over from Fan Fengze and renovations had begun. The only thing missing was for the hostess, Mo Yunzhu, to move in.

After walking along the Nine-Turn Bridge, you will see the gate leading to the palace. This time, the gatekeeper is obviously a eunuch.

But they were dressed similarly to the guards. Mo Yunzhu thought that these should be servants who knew martial arts. This villa was full of experts.

This Chen Tianqi is really afraid of death.

An elderly eunuch came over with a smile and looked at Mo Yunzhu.

"Master Zhuo, have you brought the person?"

"Eunuch Nian, this is the doctor. Although he is young, he is very skilled in medicine. Yun Zhu, this is the Eunuch Nian who is in charge."

After Mo Yunzhu exchanged greetings, Eunuch Nian took them in.

It was incredibly large inside, and one had to pass through several gates before reaching the inner chambers at the back. Along the way, there were many houses, and there were hundreds of servants and guards.

Mo Yunzhu wondered if Chen Tianqi was doing this for health preservation or because he was afraid that the enemy would come to kill him. This protection was too excessive.

"Miss Mo, the emperor's bedroom is inside. I will go and report it. Please wait a moment." Eunuch Nian said after bringing people to the door of the bedroom.

Mo Yunzhu looked around and was dazzled by the number of servants here. They were all relatively old. They were probably the old eunuchs who retired to take care of Chen Tianqi after he retired.

But with so many people around, it was difficult for her to find Xu Haoqin's father, Eunuch An.

She couldn't ask who was Eunuch An for no reason.

Now, Eunuch An doesn't know that the doctor invited by Zhuo Hongli is one of his own people, so he must not allow his own people to fight against each other.

Soon, the old eunuch came out, followed by another eunuch who was even older than him.

"Eunuch Song." When Zhuo Hongli saw the person coming, he immediately took the initiative to greet him with a fist.

Mo Yunzhu was shocked. It seemed that the person in front of her was the most powerful master around the emperor that Xu Haoqin mentioned.

This eunuch Song looked quite kind, and was a little plump. If Xu Haoqin hadn't said it, Mo Yunzhu would never have thought that this guy was such a master.

"Brother Zhuo, you are here. Since you have brought the people, please come in quickly." Eunuch Song looked at Mo Yunzhu and said.

But soon, Eunuch Song was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Mo Yunzhu again.

Mo Yunzhu also looked at him and gave him a timid smile.

I thought this guy must think she looked familiar.

"Yunzhu, be careful with your step." Zhuo Hong noticed that she had not stepped over the threshold and immediately reminded her.

"Oh oh." Mo Yunzhu immediately jumped over the threshold. This action made Eunuch Song narrow his old eyes slightly.

Mo Yunzhu followed the two people inside. The bedroom was extremely luxurious, but Mo Yunzhu felt it was too empty.

There was a groaning sound from inside, which seemed a bit anxious and painful.

Eunuch Song walked faster. Zhuo Hongli turned to look at Mo Yunzhu and nodded slightly to her.

"Your Majesty, the doctor that Brother Zhuo has called for is here." Eunuch Song addressed the retired emperor as the "Your Majesty".

"Okay, okay, please help me quickly. I feel very uncomfortable." The voice of the retired emperor was obviously weak.

Eunuch Song immediately turned to look at Mo Yunzhu and said, "Miss Mo, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Mo Yunzhu walked to the bed and looked at the person lying on it.

And Chen Tianqi's old eyes also looked at Mo Yunzhu.

In Mo Yunzhu's eyes, the current Emperor Chen Tianqi was very different from her impression of him. After all, anyone who could sit on the throne of the emperor must be very majestic.

But at this moment, Chen Tianqi was suffering from illness and looked very old, and was as thin as a bamboo pole.

His eyes are cloudy and his cheeks are sunken, making him look a little scary.

Chen Tianqi was a little surprised to see that Mo Yunzhu was so young, but then his eyes widened and he seemed to lift his head up, wanting to see more clearly.

"Miss Mo, you can start." Eunuch Song said to the motionless Mo Yunzhu, but his eyes narrowed again when he looked at Chen Tianqi's movements.

This Miss Mo's face is indeed very familiar. She is actually 50% similar to Princess Kun from that year, and the expression between her eyebrows is also very similar.

Eunuch Song thought so in his heart, but he couldn't say it at the moment.

Chen Tianqi looked at it for a long time before he calmed down and closed his eyes for a while.

"Your Majesty, I, Mo Yunzhu, will take your pulse first." Mo Yunzhu stretched out her hand to take Chen Tianqi's pulse.

Chen Tianqi opened his eyes, hummed, but then his eyes turned to Zhuo Hongli who was standing at the end of the bed.

As soon as their eyes met, Mo Yunzhu clearly felt a complicated look in Chen Tianqi's eyes.

And when she felt his pulse, she could find that his pulse was beating more violently, which meant that he was mentally unstable.

"Your Majesty, your body is seriously injured, and your pulse is abnormal." Mo Yunzhu said slowly after letting go of his hand.

"I, I just feel sore all over. The pain and weakness go deep into my bones. It's very uncomfortable." Chen Tianqi was almost driven crazy by the torture.

I retired because I felt tired physically, plus I had a lot of old injuries from the battlefield, so I thought I would be able to get better after recuperation.

I never expected that one day my bones would suddenly start to ache.

Previously, he thought that he might just be too old. After all, he was already over fifty, and many diseases were about to break out.

There were no particularly good doctors or miracle healers in the State of Chen, and the imperial physicians were unable to cure him, which made him very desperate.

It also made him feel that if it was a disease, he couldn't be the only one suffering from it, maybe he had eaten something he shouldn't have.

It was not until Zhuo Hongli came to him a few days ago that he was sure that he had been poisoned. This was a kind of poison that even Zhuo Hongli, the poison doctor, had never seen before.

Not the overbearing type, but the most torturous.

Zhuo Hongli even felt that this long-term bone pain and weakness was more uncomfortable than the severe pain he experienced once a month. After all, he still had time to catch his breath. But Chen Tianqi had never felt truly comfortable since the first day he started having bone pain.

He was so miserable that he almost wanted to end his life. If the courtyard was not filled with servants loyal to him, he might have really wanted to die.

"Yunzhu, do you have any way to help the emperor alleviate his symptoms?" Zhuo Hongli said softly to Mo Yunzhu.

Mo Yunzhu pinched the muscles and bones on Chen Tianqi's arms. They were almost skin and bones, which made her feel very happy.

"I can try." Mo Yunzhu said as she took out her acupuncture kit.

Chen Tianqi looked at Zhuo Hongli, opened his mouth and said weakly: "Does it really work?"

"Yun Zhu is really good at acupuncture and moxibustion for pain relief. Let's give it a try. There's always hope."

The tone of the conversation between Zhuo Hongli and Chen Tianqi made Mo Yunzhu feel that the relationship between the two was extraordinary, like family.
