Chapter 365 They Deserve Death
After leaving Yun Zhao's place, Prince Liang turned around and angrily scolded Mu Chengyan, "Look at you, why did you call me here for no reason? This Yun Zhao is clearly a tigress. I haven't even said anything, and she's already been arguing with me. This fierceness doesn't match her beautiful and gentle appearance at all."
Mu Chengyan was also very annoyed.
His original intention was to ask King Liang to find out whether Yun Zhao was really ill.
But he didn't expect that King Liang was such a waste that he was thrown out with just a few words.
Even Yun Zhao was unhappy with him.
Mu Chengyan was very annoyed. He was too lazy to go the same way as King Liang, so he went directly to the little emperor.
Doctor Li was standing at the door wiping his sweat. When he saw Mu Chengyan coming, his eyes were lowered and his brows were furrowed with hatred and resentment.
Mu Chengyan was filled with rage. He pulled Doctor Li aside and asked angrily in a low voice, "Is the little emperor going to die? When will he die?"
He couldn't stay in this broken court for even a single day.
King Liang is just a worthless fool, he is too lazy to associate with fools!
His only hope now is that the little emperor dies immediately, so that he doesn't have to worry about everything. As soon as Prince Liang comes to the throne, he will take Yun Zhao away immediately. This is the ideal situation.
Mu Chengyan was very anxious. "Doctor Li, tell me the truth, what is the condition of the little emperor now?"
Doctor Li spread his hands and said, "It's truly impossible to save the emperor. The emperor is only breathing his last breath. I really can't say when he will die."
Doctor Li was timid and submissive, his head lowered. His body trembled as he replied, "The Emperor is young and it's hot today. He won't be able to hold his breath for long. Could you... wait a little longer?"
Mu Chengyan gritted his teeth and said, "Wait? How do you wait?!"
If he waited any longer, he suspected that Yun Zhao would establish a new emperor!
Doctor Li tilted his body. The little emperor's room was dark and the strong smell of medicine was choking.
Mu Chengyan's eyes darkened.
We can’t wait any longer!
For some reason, he felt that Xie Jingmo's hosting of the Spring Examination was not just for fun, but was Yun Zhao's plan.
He glanced fiercely towards the emperor's room, and when he looked away, there was no warmth in his eyes.
Doctor Li saw it.
He knelt tremblingly, his voice trembling as he said, "Prince Regent, the Emperor is young, not even ten years old yet. He's only breathing now, and he might die in the next second... Please have mercy and let him go on his own. It would be a good deed. The court is now under the auspices of the Empress Dowager, and it's stable. Prince Liang doesn't seem to be in a hurry to take the throne. Please let the Emperor take a breath before leaving, okay?"
Doctor Li lowered his head, his voice trembling.
Mu Chengyan gave him a sullen look and said coldly, "What are you afraid of?"
His expression was expressionless, leaving only cold determination, and Doctor Li's heart skipped a beat.
Mu Chengyan stepped forward, took out a small object folded into a square from his arms and stuffed it into Doctor Li's hand.
Doctor Li shuddered violently.
I almost dropped something.
Mu Chengyan pushed him back. He was smiling, but his voice was cold. He leaned close to Doctor Li's ear and whispered, "You know what to do. Just do it without anyone knowing, and your family will be safe. Do you understand?"
Doctor Li raised his cloudy eyes and looked at Mu Chengyan in fear.
Mu Chengyan said coldly, "I want to hear the news of the emperor's death tomorrow morning. Otherwise, it will be your family members who will die. Who do you want to die? Choose one."
Doctor Li's tears slowly fell.
Mu Chengyan sneered, "Doctor Li is the head of the Imperial Hospital. I think he knows how to handle current affairs, right? Do as I say, and you will have a bright future in the future."
"The young emperor has been the emperor for so long, so he must have had a good life. But your wife, daughter, and parents, have they ever had a good life?"
After Mu Chengyan finished speaking, he pressed the thing he had just handed to Doctor Li and left meaningfully.
Wait until the person walks away.
Doctor Li fell to his knees and was unable to stand up for a long time.
late at night.
Yun Zhao went to give the young emperor acupuncture. When he was leaving, Yun Zhao stood at the door, tilted his head to glance at Doctor Li, and asked, "I heard Mu Chengyan came today. What did he say?"
Doctor Li lowered his head and remained silent for a moment.
Then he bowed and said, "No, I just asked how the emperor was doing today and then left."
Yun Zhao nodded without question. She put on her cloak and said to Doctor Li, "If you have any difficulties, please tell me."
Doctor Li bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Yun Zhao left late at night.
After walking a distance, Yun Zhao suddenly stopped and turned to Fu Hai and said, "Ask Deputy Gao to come over to my place."
Fu Hai nodded.
Half an hour later, Vice Admiral Gao came in, wiping off the sweat from his face. "Yun Zhao, you don't know how many bizarre ways these people cheat. We've only caught five tonight, it's exhausting. What do you want to talk to me about?"
Yun Zhao nodded and whispered a few words into Deputy General Gao's ear.
Deputy General Gao's eyes gradually widened, and after a moment, he left quickly.
That night, Yun Zhao didn't sleep at all.
Deputy General Gao never came back.
Yun Zhao sat on the swing, his eyes growing colder by the second.
Fu Hai stood a few steps away, wanting to persuade Yun Zhao to go to rest, but he also knew that Yun Zhao couldn't sleep at the moment.
Until dawn.
Xie Jingmo is here.
The surroundings were still full of fog. Xie Jingmo walked in with the first rays of light in the morning. Yun Zhao was still sitting on the swing. He slowly raised his eyes and looked at Xie Jingmo who had walked in.
Fu Hai stepped back voluntarily.
Yun Zhao's voice was hoarse as he only asked, "How is it?"
Xie Jingmo was silent.
Yun Zhao's hand gripping the swing fell limply. She insisted, "What's wrong?"
Xie Jingmo was reluctant to say it, but he was the only one who could say this. "Ten people from the Imperial Hospital were responsible for the Emperor's health. Last night, all ten of them, along with the family, servants, and even... the livestock in the palace, were killed. Only Doctor Li's grandson escaped the disaster because he went to his aunt's house to play yesterday. He is now staying at my house."
Yun Zhao looked up in shock.
"You mean... the Imperial Hospital is responsible for the Emperor's ten doctors, the entire palace..."
Xie Jingmo paused for a moment, "Yes, they were all killed overnight."
Yun Zhao was shocked for a long time.
She sat in silence for a long time, not coming back to her senses. When she spoke again, Yun Zhao's voice gradually became colder. She said to Xie Jingmo, "When you return to the Spring Examination Hall, you must guarantee that the people selected are truly talented and knowledgeable!"
Xie Jingmo nodded, "Yeah."
Yun Zhao said, “Don’t worry about the rest, I will take care of it.
Xie Jingmo said "hmm" again but didn't leave.
Yun Zhao slowly raised his head and fell into a hug with the coolness of the early morning.
"It's not your fault," Xie Jingmo said softly with unspeakable sorrow in his voice, "It's those cruel and ruthless people who deserve to die!"
