You died to save me, I promise you a lifetime

Several people left chatting and laughing.

Zhao Jingchen walked to the desk and sat down. After a moment's thought, he picked up his pen and wrote in one go, filling up a whole sheet of paper.

In the letter, he thanked her for her generous donation of medicine and admitted that he had fully recovered after detoxification and had no hidden illness left.

The letter described the situation in the capital over the past two days, and warned her that someone's painstaking plan had failed and would likely be furious. She was advised to stay in the mansion before the Xianfei's birthday banquet to avoid being affected, etc.

After Zhao Jingchen checked it and confirmed that it was correct, he shouted outside the door.

"Ling Feng!"

"My subordinate is here!"

"Send this letter to Miss Mu!"

After Ling Feng took the letter, he disappeared in a flash.

The territory of Fengming Mountain.

Ling Feng, disguised as Zhao Jingchen, led a group of people on their journey without stopping.

That night, as soon as we entered Fengming Mountain, the sky began to flash with lightning and thunder, followed by heavy rain pouring down.

Under the cover of night and heavy rain, Ling Feng and others quietly hid in the bushes beside the official road at a bend.

It was dark, raining heavily, and the road was very slippery. The followers were chasing cautiously and did not notice that the person in front had disappeared.

After chasing for a while, they finally realized that they had lost the person. They thought that they were delayed by the heavy rain, so they rode their horses desperately in the direction of Fengming Mountain.

Lingzhi, who had successfully shaken off his tail, turned his horse around with his men and galloped towards the capital city in the rain all night.

In the afternoon at Fengming Mountain, the rain still showed no sign of stopping.

Ying Er, along with a group of Dragon Shadow Guards, was ordered to ambush at various entrances to Fengming Mountain. They had already been in the heavy rain for a night and half a day, and were beginning to feel unable to hold on any longer.

After a lot of effort, they saw a few figures appearing in the rain and fog. Ying Er didn't care about anything else. He waved his hand and the Dragon Shadow Guards appeared and rushed forward. When they got closer, they realized that they were their own people.

"Kagehachi, why are you here? Where are the War Kings?"

The person called Yingba panicked: "What? Zhan Wang and the others didn't come to Fengming Mountain?"

"What are you doing here? Apart from you guys, we haven't even seen the shadow of the War King. Tell me, what's going on?"

Yingba said with a sad face, "It's over, we lost the person!

After the rain last night, it was so heavy and it was night, we were walking on shallow water and we were able to distance ourselves from them. They were rushing along so hard that we thought they had come to Fengming Mountain.

Ying Er sighed, "Master spent so much energy planning this, hoping to keep the War King in Fengming Mountain this time, but in the end, it was all in vain. What should I do now? How will I explain it when I return?"

Yingba was panicking, but something suddenly clicked in his mind, "How about we wait a little longer? What if they are taking shelter from the rain somewhere and want to wait until daybreak before leaving?

Besides, the commander said when we left that the poison would kick in within the next couple of days, and maybe getting caught in the rain would trigger the attack sooner, so we have to stop for now."

Ying Er weighed the pros and cons and nodded, "That makes sense. We'll wait here, then. Unfortunately, it's raining heavily now, and carrier pigeons can't deliver messages, so we can't inform the commanders of the situation here."

We waited until the afternoon of the next day, and the rain that had been falling for two days and two nights finally stopped.

Ying Er quickly released a carrier pigeon and briefly explained the situation in Fengming Mountain.

On the other side, Ling Zhi and others returned to the capital before the rain stopped.

Ling Zhi, who had disguised himself as Zhao Jingchen, was carried back to the palace lying down as planned.

Soon, everyone in the palace became busy. Groups of people went out to find doctors, and the news that Zhao Jingchen had returned home due to the poison was also successfully spread.

Royal study room.

afternoon.

Chen Yirong bravely reported: "Your Majesty, the family of Minister of War Jiang was found hanged in their home at noon today. The time of death was approximately 11:00 last night."

After saying this, he presented his suicide note.

After reading it, Emperor Yan remained silent for a long time.

Chen Yirong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and lowered his head, waiting for his decision.

After an unknown amount of time, the Great Yan Emperor looked out the window before looking at Chen Yirong, who was still kneeling. "Since the person is dead, the body and the Tao have disappeared, then let's close the case."

Chen Yirong bowed and left the imperial study as if he had been pardoned.

The Great Yan Emperor watched them leave before snorting coldly, "They all think I'm stupid. Don't they know that Lord Jiang and Lord Cui are just running errands for them?"

As he spoke, he buried his head in the memorial in front of him and said, "Huaian, go outside and check for me. Is the rain about to stop?"

Eunuch Yao bowed in response and left the imperial study.

A moment later, Eunuch Yao returned and reported, "Your Majesty, the rain has subsided a bit, and the sky doesn't look so gloomy anymore!"

After hearing this, Emperor Yan waved his hand and Eunuch Yao left the imperial study.

"Mingxiao!"

Mingxiao appeared: "I am here!"

"Is there any news over there?"

"Not yet. The rain is so heavy that carrier pigeons can't fly. According to calculations, things over there should be over."

"Well, then wait a little longer! If you can successfully deal with him this time, I will reward you handsomely."

Ming Xiao clasped his fists and bowed his head, "Brothers will do their best to complete the task assigned by the master."

The Great Yan Emperor waved his hand again, and Mingxiao disappeared.

An hour later, the rain gradually stopped.

The anticipation in Emperor Yan's eyes as he looked out the window from time to time became more and more undisguised.

Sudden.

Eunuch Yao, who was waiting to be questioned, hurriedly led someone into the imperial study.

The man who came was known to both Eunuch Yao and Emperor Yan. He was a spy specially sent to keep an eye on Prince Zhan's mansion.

"This subordinate has met his master!"

"Ying Shiwu, do you have something to report when you come back?" The Great Yan Emperor said with a serious face.

"My lord, the War Prince returned home one stick of incense ago. He was carried back home. The people in the War Prince's mansion are searching the whole city for a doctor."

"What did you say?"

The Great Yan Emperor's face was filled with shock and anger.

"Prince Zhan has returned home! I heard their people tell the gatekeeper, 'The prince has taken effect from the poison,' and then several groups of people left the palace to look for a doctor."

"It was just the poison that took effect, and he was sent back to the mansion. What about our people? Are they all dead?"

The Great Yan Emperor was so angry that his face turned red, his brows were furious, he covered his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood, then fell into the chair with a bang.

"emperor!"

Eunuch Yao was so frightened that his face turned pale and he rushed forward, rolling and crawling.

"Imperial doctor! Call the imperial doctor quickly!"

Ming Xiao also appeared. While checking on the Great Yan Emperor's condition, he scolded Ying Shiwu, "What are you still standing there for? Go and bring the imperial physician!"

Shadow Fifteen, who was frightened out of his wits, finally came to his senses and slipped away.

A moment later, he returned to the imperial study with a royal physician.

Because he was moving too fast, the old doctor's hat was tilted, his whole body was trembling, and he stuttered when he spoke.

"Your Majesty, I…"

Ming Xiao scolded, "Don't do these useless things. Hurry up and show the emperor. He just vomited blood because he was so angry."

The old doctor didn't care about anything else and walked forward tremblingly to take the pulse of Emperor Yan. After the diagnosis, he took out the silver needle and acupunctured Emperor Yan.

He quickly wrote a prescription and handed it to Ying Shiwu, "Quick, go to the Imperial Hospital and have someone boil the medicine and send it over."

After acupuncture, medicine and emergency treatment, Emperor Yan finally recovered.

"What's wrong with me?"
