With a creak, the door to the Dragon Saliva Hall was opened, and Yuan Lu, Emperor Gaozong's personal eunuch, walked out with a worried look on his face.
A group of ministers saw Yuanlu rushing forward and asked him all at once.
"Eunuch Yuan, how is His Majesty's injury?" "Eunuch Yuan, has His Majesty woken up?" "Eunuch Yuan, please allow us to go in and see His Majesty."
"His Majesty is seriously injured, and the imperial physicians are taking turns treating him inside," Yuanlu said with a sorrowful expression and a sob.
"This old servant has served His Majesty for decades, and this is the first time I have ever seen His Majesty like this."
Lin Zhengyong pushed aside the ministers blocking his way and asked Yuanlu in a deep voice.

"General Lin, are you implying that this old servant is falsely conveying the imperial edict? If so, then this old servant has been truly wronged."

Lin Zhengyong snorted coldly, his tone icy: "Have you taken it upon yourselves to place the Emperor under house arrest? I hereby declare that I must see the Emperor today."
After Lin Zhengyong finished speaking, he shoved Yuanlu aside and was about to rush into the Dragon Saliva Hall. However, he was stopped by Su Yi, who happened to arrive at the scene.
