Chapter 555 The power of life and death! (Third update)
Lian Zhou smiled awkwardly: "If the master is willing to leave this opportunity to us, we would also be more than happy, but didn't you say before that you would personally interrogate him? Don't worry, the person has been handed over to Xi Su, he won't die."
Yun Cheng nodded meaningfully in agreement: "It would be better if you come in person, Master."
The study became quiet, and after a moment, the voice rang out again.
“No hurry.”
The person behind the scenes probably won't be able to sleep well tonight. As long as the person is still with him, he will be able to find out the answer sooner or later, so there is no need to rush.
Shen Yanchuan said in a lazy tone and chuckled.
"Come to think of it, when I see their master later, I have to thank him properly."
It was an elaborate death trap, but somehow he got the answer he wanted most.
Of course he should express his deep gratitude to the other party for helping him so much.
Lian Zhou and the other man looked at each other and rarely felt a trace of sympathy for the mastermind behind the scenes.
I don’t know if the other party has the luck to accept this “thank you” from the master?
…
On the second day, Ye Chutang got up early as usual and went to the palace to see Emperor Mu Wu.
However, when he arrived outside the Qiyuan Hall, he found that all the ministers had already arrived and were waiting outside the door.
At the front, Fan Chengzhuo was kneeling straight, looking as if he was admitting his guilt.
The atmosphere was cold and heavy.
Ye Chutang hesitated for a moment, but Eunuch Li had sharp eyes and spotted her immediately, and hurriedly came forward with a smile.
"Miss Ye Er, you are finally here! His Majesty is waiting for you!"
Ye Chutang was a little surprised, and his eyes stayed on Fan Chengzhuo for a moment: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to go in now? How about I go to the side hall and wait until the adults are done, and then-"
"Oh, what are you talking about? His Majesty has ordered that if you come, you must be the first one to come in, and no one is allowed to stop you!"
Eunuch Li led her inside, showing her concern.
"Your Majesty knows that you were exhausted from running around last night. I wanted to let you rest at home today, but I was worried that it would disturb you if it was too late, so I gave up."
Ye Chutang's heart moved.
It seems that Emperor Mu Wu already knew what happened in the Ministry of Justice last night.
But if you think about it carefully, this is normal. It is such a big thing happening right under the emperor's feet, it would be strange that Emperor Mu Wu didn't know about it.
Although he was ill, his mind was not confused.
Ye Chutang smiled and said, "It's just a small matter. How dare I trouble Your Majesty to worry about it?"
"How can it be a small matter?" Eunuch Li praised with a smile, "You saved the prince and found out the truth about the deaths of those Nanhu swordsmen. You have made great contributions!"
Ye Chutang thought about it.
In fact, she felt that in that situation, even if she was not there, Shen Yanchuan would not have been in trouble.
Now it is said that she is the savior of Shen Yanchuan.
But after thinking it over, Ye Chutang figured that it was pointless for her to explain further, so he just listened quietly.
When passing by Fan Chengzhuo, Ye Chutang lowered his eyes slightly and glanced over, and saw that Fan Chengzhuo's clothes were dirty and there were a few burnt stains on his hands.
I guess he came directly from the Ministry of Justice and knelt there until dawn.
Ye Chutang followed Eunuch Li inside without stopping.
In addition to Emperor Mu Wu, there were also Xiao Chengqi and the eldest princess in the palace.
Ye Chutang retracted her gaze, stepped forward and saluted, and then she felt an especially warm gaze falling on her.
It seems to be... the eldest princess?
Ye Chutang naturally had no idea how excited and surprised the princess was after hearing about what happened last night.
If the princess hadn't been afraid of disturbing her, she would have come directly to her house.
The look in Xiao Chengqi's eyes when he looked at her was thoughtful, with admiration, amazement, and hidden curiosity.
——Ye Chutang even knows the Nanhu witchcraft, what else does she not understand?
At this age, he is so meticulous and has such outstanding medical skills. It is really hard to find another person like him in the world.
No wonder Chen Yanchuan is so fond of her...
Emperor Mu Wu looked a little tired and haggard, probably because he had not yet recovered from his illness.
Ye Chutang went forward to take his pulse as usual and found that his condition was indeed more serious than before.
Obviously he was angry again.
I know without asking that it’s because of what happened last night.
Ye Chutang gently reminded:
"Your Majesty, you should avoid getting angry when you are ill. You should rest calmly so that you can recover faster."
Emperor Mu Wu waved his hands and spoke with obvious weakness.
"My body is already like this. No matter how much I take care of it, it will never be the same as before."
Upon hearing this, the princess wanted to try to persuade him, but in the end she just sighed, turned her head away, and a hint of sadness appeared between her brows.
Emperor Mu Wu seemed to have come to terms with it more and shook his head with a smile.
"Although there have been many things going on recently, they have been mostly resolved. I don't need to worry too much."
He looked at Ye Chutang.
"Look, the Nanhu Swordsman refused to speak after being interrogated for such a long time, and after he died, this girl found out the reason. Who could have expected this?"
Ye Chutang had just taken out the needle and silk cloth. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. I have only heard a few rumors about the Nanhu witchcraft before, and I didn't expect to run into it by chance. If they hadn't died suddenly and I hadn't seen them there and felt that there was something wrong with their bodies, I probably wouldn't have thought of this."
"You don't have to be modest." Emperor Mu Wu shook his head. "How can there be so many coincidences in the world? You really know a lot! This time you have done a great job!"
Ye Chutang pursed her lips and chuckled, seemingly not caring about Emperor Mu Wu's compliments.
"Let me give you the acupuncture."
Emperor Mu Wu nodded in agreement.
Ye Chutang stabbed a needle into the base of his left hand.
Emperor Mu Wu closed his eyes.
His lips were faintly purple, a sign of the increased workload on his heart.
Ye Chutang continued to give the injections.
The hall was very quiet, and not a single sound could be heard outside.
Suddenly, Emperor Mu Wu asked slowly, "How much time do I have left?"
Ye Chutang's eyebrows twitched slightly.
Xiao Chengqi's expression changed: "Father——"
The eldest princess frowned and asked, "Why did your majesty suddenly ask this?"
Emperor Mu Wu opened his eyes, shook his head and smiled, then looked at Ye Chutang.
"Chu Tang, tell me, how long can I live?"
Ye Chutang paused.
Without waiting for her to answer, Emperor Mu Wu suddenly sighed.
"Forget it, forget it. They won't let you speak, so how can you speak?"
The air seemed to be frozen and stopped flowing, making even breathing difficult.
This question is extremely difficult to answer no matter who you ask.
The same goes for Ye Chutang.
Fortunately, Emperor Mu Wu did not intend to make a fuss about it.
"Just answer my other question."
He shook his head, his old and slightly hoarse voice was very calm.
"What do you think is the best way to deal with those people outside?"
Ye Chutang's eyelids twitched slightly.
"Cough, cough, cough--" Emperor Mu Wu suddenly started coughing softly, and it took him a while to recover. His originally pale cheeks were stained with an abnormal, morbid flush due to the heavy work of the heart.
"Whatever you say, then so be it, how about it?"
