The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Chapter 1364: Enduring, Leng Jizhen commits suicide

The Seventh Prince noticed the Fifth Prince's revenge and the Emperor's unusual behavior in summoning his subordinates. He immediately wrote all this information into a letter and secretly had someone deliver it to the Night King's Palace.

This time, the Night King quickly sent a reply letter to the Seventh Prince, reminding him to be careful in the next few days as the situation might change.

The Night King didn't say much, but the clever Seventh Prince understood something.

After a brief consideration, even though his uncle, the Emperor Ye, had no requests for anything, he still took the initiative to mobilize manpower and sent people to monitor the situation on the emperor's side as much as possible, especially the movement of the guards in the inner court.

At the Night King's Palace, the Night King had already dispatched relevant personnel to closely monitor the movements of the front court and the inner court before the Seventh Prince noticed anything and took any action.

After everyone in the capital received the invitation to the palace banquet, the situation in the capital changed. It was like a huge rock was thrown into a lake that everyone had worked hard to maintain, causing waves to ripple.

The wind and waves grew stronger and stronger, hitting people's hearts hard.

However, now is just the moment before the storm arrives. There will be even bigger storms in the future.

It was getting dark as evening approached.

In the study of Huayang Courtyard, Ye Xiaohan was reviewing official documents, accompanied by Yun Mujiu, who was holding a medical book in her bare hands.

It started to drizzle outside, and a personal guard came hurriedly to report the news.

Leng Jizhen committed suicide and is now dying. Even if a miracle doctor tries to save him, he will not be able to recover.

Yun Mujiu frowned upon hearing this and sighed bitterly. Leng Jizhen, poisoned, severely injured, and burned all over, had endured until now, relying on his desire for revenge. Now that his vengeance had been exacted, he could no longer endure.

"It's hard for him to hold on for so many years."

A trace of sadness appeared on Yun Mujiu's face, and Ye Xiaohan's face was serious. They both stood up immediately: "Someone..."

In the Imperial Hospital, Doctor Shi was staying in his own medicine room, trying to figure out with his eldest disciple Zheng Yuan how to sneak out of the palace.

Some time ago, Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu solved the Leng family massacre case in Jingzhao Prefecture. At that time, Doctor Shi had never dared to reveal his true identity as Leng Jiyuan. He only rushed out at the last moment and told his true identity to Doctor Ye and his son and Wu Mingwei.

That night, Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu allowed Doctor Shi to visit the prison.

Doctor Shi met Ye Yang, and also met Ye Yang's son, Doctor Wu, Wu Mingwei, the daughter of a sinner who has the blood of a branch of the Leng family, the Beihan team of doctors represented by Doctor Luo, and the remnants of the Beihan dark forces.

Doctor Shi and Leng Jizhen stood together and revealed their true identities. Doctor Wu and his companions were even more shocked than when they learned Doctor Shi's identity during the day.

Doctor Shi laughed heartily with tears in his eyes: "You all thought you had wiped out the entire Leng family, but you didn't know that God was not unjust, and two people from our Leng family also survived."

"You've done countless dirty things over the years, but you never knew you'd end up like this!"

"Hahahaha! Oh no, it's not God's will, but our Leng family is not destined to die. It's also because we have the noble couple, the Night King, to help us! In this world, it turns out there are still people who are selfless and uphold justice!"

Doctor Shi and the brothers Leng Jizhen were both old men, but they still acted like impulsive young men, punching and kicking Doctor Wu and his group, as if they wanted to vent all the overwhelming emotions that had been pent up in their hearts over the years.

But how can that be enough?

Whatever, it's better to vent some of my anger. Besides, these damned people will be executed soon.

Doctor Shi and Leng Jizhen severely beat up Doctor Wu and his group. Anyway, Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu had told the people in the yamen to let Doctor Shi and Leng Jizhen do whatever they wanted, as long as they didn't kill Doctor Wu and other criminals on the spot.

The two brothers vented their anger and then cried bitterly. From that night on, the two separated, one working in the Imperial Hospital inside the palace, and the other recuperating outside the palace.

Doctor Shi has been running around taking care of the sick emperor these days and has not been able to find a suitable opportunity to escape from the palace.

He didn't know what happened today, but he couldn't calm down at all in the medicine room. His eyelids kept twitching and his heart was pounding.

"Zheng Yuan, why do I feel so uneasy?"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone suddenly pushed the door open and walked in. It was an unfamiliar guard.

The visitor whispered, "Doctor Shi, hurry up and follow me."

...

On a cold rainy night, in a quiet room, several bright yellow lamps were on.

A white-haired old man was lying on the bed, dying, with a man and a woman standing in front of the bed.

The woman said softly, "Mr. Leng, the prince and I have sent someone to fetch Doctor Shi. Please wait for him, he will be here soon."

Leng Jizhen's eyes were filled with tears, and he said with trembling lips: "Thank you for your help."

Yun Mujiu immediately said: "It's not a big deal, it's nothing."

After a pause, he said comfortingly: "Don't worry too much, we understand your approach."

Yes, Leng Jizhen has been holding on for a long time, and his body has long reached its limit.

Doctor Shi strode over, his whole body wet. As soon as he entered the door, he knelt down to thank Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu, and then knelt in front of Leng Jizhen's bed.

The two brothers shed tears without words, everything was beyond words.

Yun Mujiu took Ye Xiaohan and went out on his own initiative.

After an unknown amount of time, Doctor Shi came out in a daze, his face covered in tears, and he stammered as he thanked the two of them.

Then, he talked about the emperor's actions in the past two days. However, as he was only an imperial physician, the information he could learn and inquire about was limited. He vaguely guessed that the emperor had summoned a group of confidants for several meetings and might be planning new actions.

Ye Xiaohan said calmly: "This matter is also known to me."

Doctor Shi was stunned and reported new news. The emperor's condition has stabilized for the time being, but it will soon relapse.

Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu looked calm, without any expression of surprise.

Doctor Shi paused and began to search his mind for useful information.

If Doctor Shi had previously been forced to work with Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu due to a need or situation, then now, he was spontaneously wanting to provide them with some useful information.

But perhaps, Imperial Physician Shi could only do so much. After all, Imperial Physician Shi had been the Emperor's trusted confidant for many years, and even if someone else had the ability to persuade Imperial Physician Shi to rebel, no one knew how long that would take. Furthermore, others couldn't fully trust an emperor's trusted confidant.

Therefore, Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu had no intention of completely winning over Doctor Shi, nor did they think of fully instructing Doctor Shi to handle all matters.

Of course, if it can be used, it’s okay to use it temporarily.

That night, Yun Mujiu, out of kindness, took the initiative to arrange Leng Jizhen's burial. Meanwhile, Doctor Shi, under the drizzling rain and filled with mixed feelings, quietly followed the guards back to the palace.

Ye Xiaohan said to Yun Mujiu: "The rain is getting heavier..."
