Long Live the Empress

The secret guards were divided into three groups. One group was responsible for rescuing the pregnant woman, one group was responsible for capturing Li Sheng, and the remaining group was responsible for checking whether there were any abnormalities in the valley.

The pregnant women were locked in a cellar. In order to prevent them from escaping, the cellar was dug very deep. A rope ladder had to be placed every time they went down, and there were also several thugs watching at the cellar entrance.

The secret guards knocked down those people effortlessly. When they went down to the cellar, the pregnant women huddled together in fear, just staring at the secret guards with horror, but no one made a sound. The secret guards briefly explained their purpose, and the pregnant women loosened their tightly clasped hands.

Unfortunately, because the cellar was cold, damp and airtight, the two pregnant women died.

"Master Governor, everyone is here!"

Yan Liyuan nodded and said, "Send them all out."

Two secret guards each carried a corpse, and together with other secret guards, they escorted the pregnant woman out. Yan Liyuan and Wang Yi flashed and flew to Li Sheng's residence.

He Bai glanced at the secret guards escorting the pregnant woman, then at Yan Liyuan, and he decisively chose the latter. Maybe Li Sheng had hidden more precious medicinal materials in the room! He had to go and see!

Li Sheng was pressed to the ground by the secret guards, his face covered with dirt. "How did you get in? Do you know who I am?... Let me go!"

Yan Liyuan sat in the main seat, looking at Li Sheng who was kneeling and cursing, "Go ahead."

Li Sheng was already extremely angry at this time, and he had no idea what Yan Liyuan was asking! "Say? What? Let me tell you, I'm the Medical Saint! Do you know how many nobles come to me every day to ask me to treat their illnesses? Humph! If you dare to be rude to me again, I will report it to the nobles and take your lives!"

Wang Yi used his inner strength to slap Li Sheng several times, "Master Medical Saint, are you awake now?"

Li Sheng was beaten so hard that his mouth was full of blood. When he spoke, a tooth came out of his mouth. "You...you..."

Wang Yi grabbed Li Sheng's hair and forced him to look up. "Tell me, who instructed you to make the purple placenta?"

Li Sheng was shocked. "Who are you? Haha... No matter who you are, you can't beat her. Just let me go. I can keep this a secret!"

Wang Yi raised his head and laughed, "Looking at the entire Wei Kingdom, I have never heard of anyone who can defeat our governor!"

Lord Governor? Nine thousand years old?

Li Sheng tried to break free from the guards' grip, but failed after several unsuccessful attempts. He could only bend over and knock his head heavily on the ground. "I... I am blind and ignorant of the coming of the Nine Thousand Years Lord. I deserve to die!"

Wang Yi sneered at Li Sheng's belated flattery, "Tell the truth about who ordered you to do this! If you dare to play tricks, we have plenty of ways to make you talk. I just don't know if our famous medical saint will still be the same as he is now."

Li Sheng was already afraid of the Nine Thousand Years Old's reputation, and after hearing Wang Yi's words, he became even more afraid. "Your Highness, I am only responsible for making the purple river placenta with the placenta they sent. I know nothing about the rest!"

"How dare you talk nonsense?" As soon as Wang Yi finished his angry scolding, he saw a secret guard swiftly cut off one of Li Sheng's arms.

Li Sheng screamed in pain, "It's not that I don't want to say it, it's that I don't dare to say it!"

"Since you dare not say it, there is no point in keeping you. It is a blessing for you to die in the hands of our Inspector! Come, cut open his stomach!" Wang Yi didn't want to waste time talking to Li Sheng anymore. Even if he didn't say anything, the Inspectorate would be able to get to the bottom of it.

The guard dragged Li Sheng outside the house and stepped on his chest. Another guard drew out his sword, opened Li Sheng's clothes, and demonstrated how to attack him on his stomach.

As soon as the sharp sword tip touched Li Sheng's stomach, blood flowed out.

Li Sheng looked at his bloody stomach, and was extremely frightened. "I said, I said..."

Wang Yi waved his hand, and the secret guard retracted the long sword. "I'll give you one more chance. If you dare to play tricks again..."

"I dare not, I dare not... I only ask the Nine Thousand Year Old to spare my life. I promise that I will never do anything against the will of heaven and earth again!" Although Li Sheng was afraid of the Nine Thousand Year Old, he knew in his heart that he was still useful.

With Li Sheng's status, he is not worthy of talking to Yan Liyuan, let alone making conditions to Yan Liyuan! Wang Yi was about to scold him, but Yan Liyuan made a gesture and asked him to leave. "Okay."

Li Sheng got the result he wanted, and he was relieved. He was thinking about how to start the conversation, and then he heard Wang Yi said impatiently: "What are you two doing standing there? Why don't you start?"

The secret guard immediately raised his sword and stabbed at Li Sheng again.

"It was Concubine Shu!" Li Sheng closed his eyes and shouted anxiously. "It was Concubine Shu who found experts to search for pregnant women everywhere, and then put them in the Medical Saint Valley to be raised. When Concubine Shu's medicine is almost finished, I will... I will make another one... I really have no choice! Please look into it, Your Majesty!"
