Kill me if you can (26)

Murong Jin had just helped the emperor take the medicine when he saw Yun Sheng bringing the bleeding Shen Tang into the palace. "Weren't you fighting with the master of Qianji Pavilion? How did you hurt Brother Mo?"

"Now is not the time to talk about this. Where is the imperial physician? Send him here immediately!"

Yun Sheng shouted anxiously, his eyes fixed on the person in his arms. Jiang Mo was in a very bad condition. Her health was not good to begin with. She had not yet recovered from blocking a knife for him when she encountered such a thing. If she had not avoided the vital parts and got seriously injured, he would never forgive himself in his life.

"Your Highness, the old man from Yaoge is here!"

The general in front of the palace shouted loudly, and Father Jiang led a group of disciples from the pharmacy and rushed into the palace quickly. At Murong Jin's call, the imperial doctors also entered the palace from outside one after another, and divided into two groups, one group gathered in front of the old emperor's bed, and the other group rushed to treat Shen Tang's injuries.

When Father Jiang saw Shen Tang's condition, his eyes turned red. "Tang... Ah Mo, how did you get injured so badly? And you, how on earth did you, as a guard, protect her!"

Seeing his cheap father about to attack Yun Sheng, Shen Tang raised his head and explained weakly, "Dad, it's not his problem, I'm fine, you go and help His Majesty detoxify quickly, the imperial physician is here, I'll be fine."

Shen Tang tried hard to swallow the anger in his mouth and pretended nothing had happened to hurry away. Seeing that his daughter insisted that he go to see the emperor first, Jiang's father had no choice but to carry the medicine box and go to the emperor's bed first.

When the old master of Qianji Pavilion tried to assassinate Shen Tang, he turned his body slightly. Although the knife avoided the vital part, the wound was very deep. When the imperial doctors came around, Shen Tang could only ask cautiously: "Can you let only one person treat this wound for me?"

The imperial doctors looked at each other. The eldest son of the medicine pavilion must have his own considerations for saying this. They discussed it for a while, and finally asked the imperial doctor who was proficient in this kind of injuries to come forward to treat Shen Tang.

Yun Sheng slowly carried Shen Tang to a soft chair in the hall where no one could see him and put him down. Although the imperial physician felt puzzled, he did not say much. He just brought his tools and slowly approached Shen Tang, carefully removing the clothes stained with blood, revealing the blood-stained bandage. As the clothes were lifted up, the imperial physician's eyes were stunned for a moment, and he looked at the person in front of him in surprise.

"You should know clearly what to say and what not to say." The imperial physician was stunned for a moment, and Yun Sheng's bone needle had already gently touched his skin. Under his gentle smile was an unfathomable chill, "If I see you say a word..."

Yun Sheng gently gestured with the bone needle in his hand, "I will make you disappear from this world without anyone noticing. If you don't believe me, you can give it a try."

The imperial physician shivered at the coldness of the bone needle, straightened his chest in panic and whispered, "Don't worry, I will never tell anyone what I saw today! No matter what, the Jiang family is a great contributor and has saved tens of thousands of families in the capital. I have also benefited from the medicine in the medicine pavilion, so I will never tell anyone what I saw today!"

After saying this, the doctor focused his eyes on the wound, fearing that if he looked elsewhere, the killer beside him would take his life. His hands moved neatly and quickly, applying medicine to the wound continuously. When he was sure that the wound was no longer bleeding, he continued to change other herbs.

An unknown amount of time had passed before the doctor slowly stopped moving. He heaved a long sigh of relief after bandaging Shen Tang's wound. He glanced at Yun Sheng fearfully and whispered something to be careful of, "Miss Jiang's body is not suitable for strenuous exercise. It's best to find a quiet place to rest for a while. Don't let this happen again. You're lucky to have avoided a fatal injury this time. If it happens again, I'm afraid even King Yan won't be able to save your life!"

After the imperial physician finished speaking to Shen Tang, he signaled to Yun Sheng with his eyes, asking him to talk to him alone about Shen Tang's health. Yun Sheng understood the imperial physician's signal and asked Shen Tang to lie down before following the imperial physician. The imperial physician glanced in the direction of Shen Tang before speaking to Yun Sheng again.

"Here are the medicines that Miss Jiang needs. We need to change her medicine every day. Since Miss Jiang's body is weaker than that of an average person, I'm afraid she will need to rest for a longer time than an average person. During this period, we must ensure that she maintains a good attitude so that she can live longer."

"Live a little longer, what do you mean by that?" Yun Sheng stared at him for a long time, but finally gave in. "How long can she live?"

Shen Tang's body was examined last time, but the wound was on his back, and most of the cleaning matters were handled by Yun Sheng, so the imperial doctors did not see Shen Tang's true gender. This time, the imperial doctor carefully examined Shen Tang's body and decided to tell the truth.

"If there is no special medicine, Miss Jiang may only live for another month."

"Last time you said it was two months, how come it's shorter now!" Yun Sheng grabbed the doctor's collar and stared at him fiercely like a wolf, "How can we extend her life? Tell me!"

The imperial physician turned his head away tremblingly: "It's all because of the injury this time. If Miss Jiang hadn't been injured, she could have lived for two months at most. Now the roots inside her body have long lost their vitality. All I can do is to slow down the speed at which her body withers. This is why I avoided talking to Miss Jiang. If you want her to feel better, you might as well take good care of her in her last days and stop letting this girl suffer."

Yun Sheng's hand holding the doctor's collar felt numb, and she loosened her hand after a while, looking helplessly at Shen Tang who had fallen asleep after applying the medicine. How could this be? He had already started over again, so why couldn't he escape her fate of death?

After leaving the medicine, the doctor hurried back to the other doctors, fearing that Yun Sheng would kill him if he was dissatisfied. However, Yun Sheng ignored him and sat quietly beside Shen Tang, his fingertips gently brushing the ends of Shen Tang's hair. He looked at her tenderly and murmured, "No, there must be another way, there must be another way..."

"Do you want to know how to save her?" Yun Sheng was startled and quickly stood up and took a defensive stance. Strangely, he didn't see anyone around him. Where did that voice come from?

He looked around but didn't find any clues. The head of the Medicine Pavilion and its members were accompanying Murong Jin in the palace to treat His Majesty, and the imperial physician had also run over. There was no way anyone was here!

"Do you want to know how to save her?"

The voice in the air reappeared, questioning the man who was looking around with a flute in his hand.

"What are you trying to do!" Yun Sheng guarded Shen Tang vigilantly. After a long time, he didn't notice anyone making any moves. He could only continue to scan the surroundings with a sharp gaze.

"So, do you have a way to save her?" Yun Sheng, who had been staring for a long time without seeing anyone, finally asked. These imperial doctors were unable to cure Jiang Mo, so could this voice that appeared out of nowhere really save her?

"This is natural," a deep male voice came slowly from the side of Yun Sheng, surprising him and immediately turning around to look behind him. A circle of halo was slowly rising inside the girl's body, and the source of the voice seemed to be this halo.

"Who are you and how do you know how to save her?" Yun Sheng's hand holding the flute slowly dropped down, his dark eyes staring calmly at the halo in front of him. For some reason, this halo gave him a familiar feeling.

"Me?" The shape of the halo slowly changed, and finally gradually turned into a human figure, and slowly walked in front of Yun Sheng, "You don't need to know who I am, you just need to know that I have a way to let you keep her."

The moment the aperture touched Yun Sheng's palm, a warm force slowly surged to his limbs. He looked at the "person" standing opposite him in disbelief, and was a little dazed about what was happening in front of him.

"Then tell me, how can we keep her alive?" Yun Sheng looked at the halo stubbornly. No matter what the purpose of this guy who appeared out of nowhere was, as long as he could keep Jiang Mo alive, he was willing to try.

"It's very simple to keep her alive. Just give your life to her, and she can live longer. However, your original life span will naturally be shortened accordingly. It depends on whether you are willing or not." The voice was lazy, and it didn't seem curious about what choice he would make.

"I will trade, as long as I can keep her alive, I'm willing to trade any number of years of my life for hers!"

"Oh?" The chief system looked at the person in front of him with interest, "Even if it costs you your entire life?"

"Yes," Yun Sheng said without hesitation. He once owed Jiang Mo a life, so it would be fine to pay it back now. "I'll use my life to exchange for her healthy life."

Yun Sheng spoke seriously, but suddenly the light halo laughed out loud, "It really suits his personality..."

After saying that, the halo of light slowly fell back on Shen Tang, "Well, just consider it as me being a good person this time."

Before Yun Sheng could ask what was going on, the halo of light disappeared completely. The surroundings became quiet again, and the girl was still sleeping, but her breathing was much calmer than before.

Yun Sheng, who didn't understand what was going on, decided to ask the imperial physician to check Shen Tang's current condition.

Yun Sheng tidied up Shen Tang's clothes and carried her slowly back to Murong Jin. At this time, Jiang's father had already brought a group of disciples from the pharmacy to detect the poison in the medicine taken by the old emperor and found the medicine at the bottom of the box and fed it to the person. Although the person could not wake up immediately, his life was no longer in danger.

After resolving the emperor's issue, Jiang's father finally shook his head and turned to look at his daughter. Shen Tang was held in Yun Sheng's arms. She was obviously injured, but her face was much rosier than usual.

Jiang's father walked forward suspiciously and carefully examined his daughter's condition. Then he asked in surprise, "Did you give my daughter any medicine?"

"No," Yun Sheng shook his head and stared at Jiang's father nervously, "Is there something else wrong with her body?"

Father Jiang looked at Yun Sheng's nervous expression, his eyes gradually became sharp, "That's not the case, my son looks much better, but, how can you, a little guard, care so much about my son?"
