Chapter 07
Unable to help but put his hand on his forehead, Xiao Huan couldn't help but think: Is this imperial physician really reliable?
He kept looking for a long time and inexplicably felt that it was not reliable at all. Even if he really spent a lot of money to bribe the imperial guards, but according to his temper, Xiao Huan thought that if someone deliberately came to meet him with his whereabouts...
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly. He felt that this imperial physician would not have a good ending.
really.
"The host has almost put all his wealth on the line, and now he can only eat vegetarian buns that cost three cents each at the morning market. You should know that the host used to eat meat. (A handful of bitter tears, it's better not to talk about it.) After waiting for three days, the host finally got a definite news from the eunuch: His Majesty will pass by the lotus pond this afternoon!"
"God is really helping me! I am so happy that I am crying. I can finally meet His Majesty. I can't eat these vegetarian buns for a whole day."
"I can't laugh anymore. An incense stick of time later, the owner of the building was caught by the guards as soon as he approached the lotus pond. They asked him why he was hiding there furtively. Didn't he hear the ban on whipping?"
Xiao Huan: ...
I feel like laughing.
Although he knew that the medical officer wanted to take his pulse, for some reason, Xiao Huan couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips when he saw the other party suffering, and he felt better.
Wang Bao, the eunuch who was grinding ink, looked at His Majesty cautiously, wondering why His Majesty suddenly laughed. He had a gloomy look on his face just now, but now he was in a good mood?
"The host is confused. He has been honest for several years since he traveled through time. He always goes to work and leaves work on time. He usually follows the main army. Even when he is assigned to treat officials, he goes with his colleagues. He has completely forgotten about the ban on whips! If the host tells him that he is a little hard of hearing today, will the imperial guards believe him?"
He didn't know whether the imperial guards believed it or not, but Xiao Huan himself certainly didn't believe it. If someone spoke so sweetly in front of him, he would definitely give him a beating.
The golden light above his head flickered again and again, and after a series of scene changes, the golden words became bigger.
"——Good news, the host finally met His Majesty! Bad news: He is suspected of being an assassin."
"I'm speechless. If I had known this would happen, why would I have spent ten years' salary to buy information from the emperor? I could have just stood in front of the imperial guards. With the assassin-like look on your face, you will definitely be taken down immediately!"
Xiao Huan: ...
Xiao Huan couldn't help but look at the so-called assassin-like face.
The young man who was writing furiously lowered his head and looked serious. Without the useless look that made people speechless just now, he was actually quite pleasing to the eye. Even with Xiao Huan's extremely picky eyes, Xie Ling's appearance was not at all like a rough assassin. Instead, he had a kind of golden and jade-like beauty. At first glance, Xie Ling's appearance in the portrait made people feel that he was too feminine. Although he was outstanding, he lacked strength.
But now... that frivolous air seemed to disappear in an instant, and it actually made people take a second look at her.
Xie Ling was writing when he inexplicably seemed to notice someone looking at him, and couldn't help but look up. But when he looked up, Xiao Huan had already retracted his gaze, so the dazed time traveler looked around, but couldn't detect the source of the gaze.
"What's going on? It's strange. It seemed like someone was looking at me just now?"
system:……
"Perhaps the palace servants wanted to confirm whether your teacup is full or not." The system, knowing who the gaze just came from, lied with its eyes open.
Xie Ling was frightened indeed. So, he said that he felt something strange just now. Because of the lesson of not sleeping last night, Xie Ling did not drink a single sip of the tea served today. At this time, he did not feel anything and continued to update.
Xiao Huan waited for a while and saw Xie Ling continue writing:
"I almost cried when I saw His Majesty as I wished."
"Because the imperial guards saw that the host was talking nonsense, they blocked his mouth when dragging him over. The host knelt on the ground miserably, wishing he could go back a few days ago and slap the self who wanted to change his fate and overturn the chessboard to death."
How could he give up so easily? Xiao Huan frowned. Fortunately, perhaps because he saw that the assassin was too unpresentable, he actually asked someone to loosen the doctor's mouth, wanting to see what he was going to say.
Finally getting to the point, Xiao Huan breathed a sigh of relief and immediately appealed when he saw the young medical officer on the golden characters.
"Your Majesty, you are wronged. I was squatting here at noon because I was actually thinking... what was I thinking? I wanted to check your pulse again to see if the last diagnosis was a misdiagnosis. How should I put this? The host got stuck in the middle of his sentence, and finally realized how difficult it was to check the emperor's pulse in ancient times through abnormal means."
"Even if you are a legitimate imperial physician, this won't work."
"After their eyes met, the host hardened his heart and said the words carefully."
"Your Majesty, I may have misdiagnosed you when I checked your pulse last time, so I am waiting here to make amends."
Xiao Huan: ...
He could already imagine the end of this imperial physician, especially: "The emperor asked me what I misdiagnosed, and I replied that Your Majesty might have been poisoned."
"——The host is gone."
Xiao Huan had a strange look on his face. The self in the book seemed to be very confident about his physical condition, so much so that as soon as the imperial physician spoke, he felt that he was cursing the dragon's body and became furious.
If Xiao Huan guessed correctly, this "嘎了" should mean death, right?
"Before he died, the host burst into tears. He didn't even have a chance to explain himself!"
"Why! Why! The host has gone crazy."
"The last words before death, I heard the host unwillingly ask the guards and the eldest brother told the host with a grim smile: I want you to be a clear-headed ghost after reincarnation. His Majesty just sent someone to check your pulse an hour ago, and all the famous doctors in the Imperial Hospital went."
"OP: ...His death is not unjust!"
"Before he died, the host finally couldn't help but wonder, could it be that I really had misdiagnosed his pulse?"
After the last sentence was spoken, Xiao Huan realized that the medical officer was no longer alive.
The protagonist's death was too easy, what happened next? Xiao Huan, who was reading a bloody story about a save file for the first time, obviously hadn't grasped the essence of it yet, and was a little hesitant at this time.
Didn't he say that he would be infatuated with three sentences? How could the imperial physician say three sentences when he was already dead? Was it his last words?
What kind of last words could have such power? Speculations came to his mind, and Xiao Huan inexplicably felt that something was not right.
The next moment, Xie Ling counted the words.
Well, it’s just a little bit away from 3,000 words. It seems that his ability to control the word count has improved again.
Just as Xiao Huan was staring at him with narrowed eyes, puzzled, the last page flashed with golden light, and the end of the third chapter appeared:
"——I swore never to repeat the same mistake. After I opened my eyes again after dying in frustration, I returned to the pulse diagnosis scene in Yuanji Hall."
Xiao Huan: ...
Wait, let me think about it.
Wasn't he already dead? His body was thrown into a mass grave. How come he was back at the pulse diagnosis site when he opened his eyes?
This was the first time that the feudal emperor had come across such a thing as resurrection from the dead. At this time, which concerned his own safety, he couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Although I know that this is a novel similar to a storybook, I can't help but think: It turns out that people can be like this after death. I have to be more careful next time I kill someone.
With the glittering golden light, today's update ends again.
Xiao Huan recalled the ups and downs of the little medical officer's experience, and then silently realized: Wait, he actually didn't know whether he was poisoned or not, and the reason for the poisoning? !
He spent the whole afternoon writing this?
Although the story of the medical officer's suffering is indeed interesting, why hasn't the most important thing been said yet? Do we have to wait until we are reborn to carefully verify and begin the investigation?
After the last lesson, the medical officer should be more cautious this time and be able to find out more, right?
Xiao Huan thought about it thoughtfully, and shamefully discovered that he was actually... a little curious about tomorrow's update!
The Emperor Wu, who always felt that he had missed the point and should have felt fooled, frowned. Wang Bao saw that the emperor, who was in a good mood just now, had a cold expression again. The change in the short time of an incense stick made people completely confused and confused.
It was that Master Xie who offended His Majesty again, but Master Xie was just reviewing ancient Chinese texts with his head down and didn't do anything.
Xie Ling raised his head, stretched his waist and submitted the latest chapter. When he was halfway through stretching his waist, he realized that he was now in Yuanji Hall. He immediately put down his arms carefully and pretended to pick up the teacup.
Xiao Huan, who witnessed the entire transformation, said:
Xie Ling raised his head casually, only to meet the indescribable gaze of Emperor Wu.
"Such etiquette is so shameless!"
Well.
Xie Ling, who was inexplicably scolded, stood up and quickly obeyed.
Ah, yes, yes, your Majesty is right.
Are you kidding? Who dares to be stubborn in front of Emperor Wu? Do you think your life is too long?
Xiao Huan remembered that he had already killed the young medical officer once in the storybook, and took a deep breath to suppress his anger.
"Are you still not leaving?"
Xie Ling: ...Ah?
Do you want to take him?
Could it be possible that I could have another imperial meal?
Xie Ling looked blankly at the Imperial Chief Steward who ordered his men to pack up the pens and ink and helped Emperor Wu wash his hands. Then Xiao Huan walked past him with a cold expression.
He didn't follow His Majesty until he left the door.
When Wang Bao saw Master Xie appear at the table again, he added a set of bowls and chopsticks without being reminded. Xie Ling felt that the boss was really cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He had a cold face just now but now he was even serving food.
After the meal, one of them looked even gloomier and the other's eyebrows became even more crooked. Fortunately, after the morning, the eunuchs and palace servants had gotten used to it.
The dinner was richer than the breakfast, with the number of dishes increasing from thirty to fifty, which was dazzling just by looking at it.
Xiao Huan paused slightly when he saw that Xie Ling liked to eat meat. Duck in the morning and chicken in the afternoon. Wouldn’t this guy get tired of it?
If Xie Ling were to answer: Not at all.
He had been updating the content all afternoon on an empty stomach, so he was already very hungry now. If he hadn't just been reprimanded for his etiquette, he would have wanted to eat more voraciously.
However, Xiao Huan disliked him again. Seeing Xie Ling picking up the chicken wing and chewing it carefully, he lost the essence of having a happy meal in the morning, and felt strange and a little bad.
The food in front of him was tasteless, Xiao Huan was too lazy to even take another look at it. When Xie Ling wiped his hands, he couldn't help but frown.
"Why are you so pretentious?"
Xie Ling: …
