Chapter 82 Breaking the Game
Chu Yangyang's fingertips touched the hidden pocket in her sleeve.
She glanced at Luo Xifeng, and the cunning that flashed across her eyes was caught by him at a glance.
Luo Xifeng was just about to say, don’t be impatient, don’t act rashly.
But she suddenly swung her arm, and the light green powder flew straight towards Li Rongjue's face.
"Bitch!" Li Rongjue covered his face and staggered back, his face suddenly burning with pain.
The commander immediately drew his sword. Chu Yangyang rolled behind a stone pillar and shouted, "This poison penetrates the skin and bones, and will penetrate the heart in three hours! Third Prince, this is my homemade poison, more powerful than Lord Luo's. How does it taste?"
The sword's tip grazed her ear and pierced into the stone pillar. Li Rongjue, his eyes red, grabbed her clothes and said, "Bitch, give me the antidote quickly."
With the dagger in his sleeve pressed against his throat, Chu Yangyang laughed out loud, "Third Prince, do you want to kill me? No problem, I will drag you to death with me."
Li Rongjue was furious, and was in a dilemma as to whether to stab with the dagger in his hand or not.
At this moment, a flash of silver light broke through the air, and the cold light from Luo Xifeng's sleeves had arrived.
Three silver needles accurately penetrated the commander's throat. The man fell to the ground with his sword drawn, and the carved hilt of the sword hit the blue bricks with a crisp sound.
Li Rongjue was shocked to realize that he was attacked by Luo Xifeng and shouted angrily, "Someone come, come quickly!"
Li Rongjue's loud shouting caused the dust on the beams to fall down, but outside the door it was as quiet as a grave.
His pupils suddenly contracted, and he turned to look at Luo Xifeng as if he suddenly realized something, "Have you changed the guard on duty?"
Luo Xifeng flashed forward and approached, and the doctor's slender fingers turned into a throat-locking blade.
Li Rongjue pushed Chu Yangyang towards the sword rack with her backhand, and the gilded candlestick was knocked to the ground by her, but the scalding wax that spilled out became an excellent weapon.
Chu Yangyang picked up the candlestick and smashed it towards Li Rongjue's lower body. Luo Xifeng took the opportunity to grab his right shoulder and try to injure him.
"Your Highness, do you really think I can only make poison?" Luo Xifeng wiped the blood from his lips and shook the half jade pendant with his fingertips. "I think all your people have been turned against you by now."
As soon as he finished speaking, the palace door burst open and the black-armored Jinwu Guards poured in like a black tide.
Crown Prince Li Rongjin walked over on the ground covered with broken porcelain, and the cold light reflected by the jade belt with dragon pattern on his waist split Li Rongjue's last bit of luck.
"Third brother, do you know that the pulse diagnosis reports submitted to father by your spy in the Imperial Medical Bureau in the past two months were all written by Imperial Physician Luo himself?" Crown Prince Li Rongjing strolled over.
Li Rongjue looked at Luo Xifeng in surprise. It turned out that everything was planned.
Li Rongjing and Luo Xifeng had already set up the trap and were waiting for him to fall into it.
Li Rongjue suddenly jumped up and shot an arrow from his sleeve straight into Chu Yangyang's heart.
Luo Xifeng turned around and pulled the man into his arms. The arrow grazed his left arm and sank into the beam. Blood instantly bloomed like red plum blossoms on his moon-white brocade robe.
Chu Yangyang held down Luo Xifeng's right hand which was covering the wound. She tore off the silk ribbon at her waist and tied it tightly around his upper arm. Her movements were so familiar that Luo Xifeng's eyes flickered slightly.
Jinwu Guards were guarding Li Rongjue.
Luo Xifeng fed the old emperor a pill, and the emperor finally had the strength to sit up. "Third brother, you are a rebellious son. You killed your brothers, violated moral principles, and attempted treason. You deserve to be put to death!"
Li Rongjue suddenly smiled. "The winner is the king, the loser the enemy. I have failed, and I have nothing to say. Your Majesty, if you want to kill me or chop me up, it is all at your disposal."
The old emperor shouted angrily, "Imprison this rebellious son to the Heavenly Prison and await your punishment."
The Jinwu Guards escorted Li Rongjue out of the Golden Palace.
Li Rongjing knelt on the ground, sword in hand, and bowed to the old emperor, "Father, I was late in coming to your aid, causing you to suffer from your illness. This is truly my fault. Please punish me."
The old emperor's trembling hand fell on the prince's shoulder, and tears welled up in his cloudy eyes. "People always say that you are too kind and unworthy of great responsibilities. In my opinion, Jing'er is the only choice for a benevolent ruler."
The sob in the throat was interrupted by coughing, and dark red blood spots appeared on the bright yellow handkerchief.
Luo Xifeng immediately supported the emperor's back and said, "Your Majesty, please don't be angry."
"The Prime Minister also deserves credit for subduing the rebellious son this time." The emperor suddenly turned to Chu Yangyang. Seeing that the arrow wound on her shoulder was still bleeding, his tone was filled with regret. "As expected of Shiyuan's daughter, you are loyal and brave, courageous and resourceful."
Chu Yangyang suppressed the bloody stench rising from her chest and knelt down to express her gratitude. "Thanks to your Majesty's blessing, I was able to turn this disaster into a blessing."
The old emperor smiled with satisfaction and said, "Prince."
"Your son is here."
"Propagate my oral order. Prime Minister Chu Shiyuan has been rewarded with one hundred taels of gold for his meritorious service in rescuing the emperor."
Chu Yangyang only felt that the old emperor's words were far away, and her body felt weak. Fortunately, Luo Xifeng was there to support her, otherwise she would have almost fallen.
"Your Majesty." Li Rongjing knelt and kowtowed. "I, your son, dare to ask Your Majesty to allow Imperial Physician Luo to treat the princess's injuries first."
The emperor turned around and saw Chu Yangyang looking drowsy. He was shocked and said, "Good, good, this is how a crown prince should look like."
He patted the dragon couch heavily and turned to Luo Xifeng, "Mr. Luo, take this girl to the Imperial Hospital and use my three hundred year old blood ginseng."
Luo Xifeng thanked him, picked up Chu Yangyang, and walked out.
The palace lanterns stretched their shadows far longer. Luo Xifeng whispered, "Princess, don't take such a risk next time. The poison you threw at the Third Prince was just ordinary chili powder. If the Third Prince finds out, what will you do?"
"Must-do." Chu Yangyang poked his bloodstained sleeve. "The Imperial Physician deliberately used the wrong prescription, causing His Majesty's hemoptysis symptoms to occur three days earlier. This tactic alerted the enemy. Lord Luo used it brilliantly."
The moonlight filtered through the iron gates in the corridor, illuminating the fleeting curve at the corner of Luo Xifeng's lips.
Chu Yangyang looked at the sky gradually turning white outside the eaves, and suddenly remembered the dawn in the original book.
Today should have been the moment for Luo Xifeng to break her neck.
Now, she is still nestled in Luo Xifeng's arms, living well.
She looked at the bright moon in the sky and suddenly felt comfortable. She slowly closed her eyes. She was a little tired.
Luo Xifeng felt the person in his arms relax, and suddenly became anxious.
He went to the nearest imperial hospital first.
Chu Yangyang lay quietly on the bed in the Imperial Hospital, and Luo Xifeng took her pulse with great concern.
The third wisp of green smoke rose from the medicine furnace, and Chu Yangyang began to twitch.
Luo Xifeng's hand holding her wrist suddenly tightened, and the pulses at the Cun, Guan and Chi points became tangled like a tangled mess, a sign of evil invading her heart.
“I shouldn’t…”
He ran his fingertips over the blue lines on her lips. The medicinal bath she had taken a few days ago was quite effective, so how could the poison invade her again?
He carefully poured the three hundred year old blood ginseng soup into her mouth. In just half a minute, Chu Yangyang choked and vomited black blood, which splashed on Luo Xi's wind and snow-colored middle coat, like layers of blooming ink-splashed plum blossoms.
When his good friend Xia Linxun entered the room, he saw the usually cold-hearted imperial physician holding the person in his arms.
The silver needles formed afterimages under the candlelight, and seven golden needles sealed the vital points of the heart meridian, but spider-web-like purple spots still appeared on the side of Chu Yangyang's neck.
Xia Linxun walked to the bedside and glanced at Chu Yangyang, whose face was pale. "You'an, the poison in the princess seems to be a twin poison."
Luo Xifeng said "hmm".
Xia Linxun was a little worried. "I'm afraid this poison is difficult to cure. Do you have any good ideas?"
Luo Xifeng didn't answer, but just held Chu Yangyang's wrist tightly, frowning as he looked at the sleeping Chu Yangyang...
