In this way, if this identity causes trouble in the future, the emperor will at most investigate Tianxia Yiye, but will not do anything to Baiyu.
After all, business people only care about profits and don't care what the other party does, so Bai Yu is destined to be innocent.
“Your Majesty, Young Master Xie has recently been staying at my residence. Now that Your Majesty has been assassinated, the whole city is buzzing with news. I must have heard about it too. Last night, I discussed with him how to remove the silver needles from Your Majesty's body. He said he had his own method. So today, I'm bringing him to the palace with me. However, everything still depends on Your Majesty's instructions.”
The Emperor glanced at Elder Dong and said, “I trust your character and medical skills. Why belittle yourself? In fact, judging from what you’ve said, this Young Master Yan is indeed a great talent.”
"Your Majesty flatters me. As Your Majesty's subjects, it is our duty to share Your Majesty's burdens."
Xie Lingqin felt a pang of sympathy even as she spoke such official words.
The Emperor's sharp gaze fell on Xie Lingqin. "I heard that you also treated the illness of the son of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. I heard that he will be able to get out of bed in less than a month. The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel will be coming soon, and he will surely be grateful to you."
Xie Lingqin cupped her hands in greeting, "Your Majesty flatters me; I am unworthy of such praise."
"Very well, please come forward, Young Master Yan."
"Yes." Upon hearing this, Xie Lingqin immediately stepped forward. However, she had only taken a few steps when a palm strike came down on her, forcing her to retreat hastily.
Xie Lingqin couldn't let anyone know she knew martial arts, but at this moment she was speaking.
"Eunuch Ni, this is..."
"Oh, please forgive me, Young Master Yan. My family has served His Majesty for decades. Moreover, His Majesty is the most honored person in the land. His health is of great importance to the well-being of the people. Therefore, we must be careful."
"I see. I understand. After all, it is my great fortune to have the chance to see the Emperor's face, since I am just a commoner who suddenly appeared out of nowhere."
Xie Lingqin dusted off her robes and immediately bowed to the Emperor.
He possessed an air of refined elegance, neither humble nor arrogant.
A deep meaning flashed in the Emperor's eyes, and he then gestured with his other, uninjured hand towards her, "Come on."
Old Master Dong glanced at Xie Lingqin, and the two of them immediately stepped forward together.
The curtains were lowered.
In fact, not to mention the Emperor and Eunuch Ni, all the palace maids and eunuchs in the hall were extremely curious.
This needle is so delicate, how can it be removed without harming the emperor in the slightest?
Even the experts we summoned before couldn't draw it out with their internal energy.
However, everyone saw Xie Lingqin take out a round, black object, no bigger than two fingers, from her sleeve.
"This is……"
"This is a magnet. Ordinary people rarely use it, but blacksmith shops usually have some."
In this era, magnets were indeed not valued, and their quantity was extremely small. Ordinary people did not know how to use magnets, and they were not called magnets.
This small piece was obtained by Xie Lingqin from the blacksmith shop owner at the place where the small crossbow was made for her last time, at a high price.
The needle she pierced into the emperor's back looked like silver, but it was actually iron.
To be honest, if it is not removed soon, once it becomes connected to the skin and flesh, the iron will be corroded by the blood and flesh, and the emperor's body will gradually weaken.
However, she always felt that doing so would be too lenient on the Emperor.
For some reason, ever since she transmigrated here, because of her identity and the secrets she holds, she knows that the Emperor wants to get rid of her but is also quite wary of her.
This opposition has existed from the very beginning.
However, the closer she got to the emperor, the stronger her desire to kill and torment him became.
It was as if a deep-seated hatred was slowly being unleashed, pushing open a dusty door.
---Aside---
Um, this is a fictional story, so those who are particular about historical accuracy should not worry about whether magnets existed in that era.
