You died to save me, I promise you a lifetime

The guard quickly refused.

"Madam, you think too highly of us. As guards of the palace, we are only responsible for guarding the gate and know nothing about other matters. Please leave.

The prince's poison has not been cured yet, and the situation is not good. We cannot disturb his peace and quiet. Please go back."

The Duke's wife had no way to deal with the stubborn and unyielding Zhan Prince's Mansion, so she had to leave in frustration and dejection.

Prince Zhan’s Mansion refuses to help, and one of my son’s ways to save his life has been blocked. What should I do?

Thinking of her son who had been tortured to the point of having no will to live, the Duke's wife was overwhelmed with grief. She ignored her maid's consolation, squatted on the roadside with her face covered and cried bitterly.

After crying enough, she stood up, as if she had become a different person: "Let's go back home!"

I can't give up. If all mothers give up, what will happen to my son?

There is always a way out. If this road doesn't work, there are always other ways to take. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, you must try your best.

The Duke's wife returned to the Duke's Mansion with her maid.

What she didn't know was that her request for a meeting was rejected and her breakdown and crying were seen by someone with ulterior motives.

At the corner of the street, a sedan chair was lifted up again and soon stopped at the gate of Prince Zhan's mansion.

Eunuch Yao and the imperial physician came to visit the patient again.

Zhao Jingchen's bedroom.

Zhao Jingchen was lying on the bed, breathing out more than breathing in, completely losing his previous vitality.

He said to Li Mingzhao impatiently, "I don't want to deal with those troubles anymore.

Eunuch Yao and the imperial physician are here today, and Ah Zhao is putting on a show for me. I can’t let them come to my Prince Zhan’s mansion several times a day like they’re visiting their own garden.”

Li Mingzhao nodded continuously: "Hmm, hmm, what do you say we should do?"

"Last night, I vomited blood. When I woke up, I felt that life was too painful. I had no desire to live and didn't want to seek medical treatment. You were filled with grief and anger, saying that it was not worth it for me to suffer and that you wanted to avenge me."

With the tacit understanding they had gained from years of getting along, Li Mingzhao immediately understood what his master meant.

"I understand, just wait and see."

Chief Eunuch Qu returned to Zhao Jingchen's bedroom and reported: "Your Majesty, I have asked the guards to drive her away.

Also, I saw Eunuch Yao's sedan chair parked at the corner of the opposite street, watching the excitement. Now that they are done watching, they should be coming into the mansion soon."

Zhao Jingchen nodded and instructed, "A Zhao, get ready. It's up to you."

Li Mingzhao repeated Zhao Jingchen's words to Manager Qu, who nodded and expressed his willingness to contribute.

I heard footsteps coming closer outside.

To confirm, Li Mingzhao flashed to the window, glanced sideways out, and stepped back, "Here it comes!"

Without saying a word, Manager Qu picked up the medicine on the table, knelt in front of the bed, and begged loudly.

"My Lord, don't you want me anymore? What will I do when you're gone? Please, drink the medicine and hold on. Maybe one day there'll be a way to save you."

The footsteps reached the door, and Manager Qu, in time, threw the medicine bowl to the ground.

"Your Majesty..."

Li Mingzhao gnashed his teeth and cursed, "Your Highness, those beasts are not human. They have caused you so much pain.

I will kill them all right now. At worst, I will accompany you to the lower realms to complain to the late emperor. I will definitely explain their evil deeds to him."

Eunuch Yao walked in with a wry smile: "Oh, so early in the morning, what's going on?"

Li Mingzhao said with a stern face: "What's wrong? You still dare to ask what's wrong? You have come to my house several times today, what's the matter? Are you here to laugh at me, or to see if our prince is dead?

Our prince is not competitive, so what has he done wrong? How has he bothered you? Do you really have the heart to treat him like this?

The prince vomited blood last night, saying that life was too painful and he had no desire to live and didn't want to be treated anymore. He wanted to go down early to accompany the late emperor. Are you satisfied now?

You are committing sins. If you continue to commit sins, sooner or later the foundation of the Great Yan will be ruined by you."

Eunuch Yao's face turned red and white.

It's over. Are we pushing these people too far? Even a rabbit bites when it's cornered.

"Guard Li, don't misunderstand me. We are here to help the prince because we care about him."

Li Mingzhao grabbed the imperial physician by the collar and said, "Treat a patient? Is this how you treat a patient? You come to see the doctor several times a day, but you don't even know what the prince's illness is. You're just trying to fool a ghost."

Have I wronged you? Imperial Physician, please tell me what happened to our prince? What kind of poison did he take? Can you bring the antidote with you next time you come?"

The imperial physician hesitated and could not explain clearly.

He was ordered to walk several times a day, but he said he couldn't figure out what the disease was. This was really a slap in the face. If he admitted that it was poisoning, he couldn't provide an antidote.

In short, this is a deadly trap, and no matter how you answer it, it’s wrong.

"Guard Li, I also want to treat the prince, but after looking at him for a long time, I can't see any problems."

"Since you can't see the problem, why are you running so happily? I think it's not that you can't see the problem, but that you know the problem but pretend not to know it, right?"

At this moment, Zhao Jingchen on the bed struggled for a while, and issued orders intermittently: "They are harming me, Ah Zhao, kill them for me."

"Yes!"

Li Mingzhao's face was full of murderous intent. He drew his sword and pointed it at Eunuch Yao and the imperial physician.

"The prince has only a few days left to live, and you are deliberately trying to anger him. Since you won't let us have an easy life, I will kill you first to avenge the prince.

We are all in this situation. Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes, nor are we afraid of making things worse. If things get out of hand, it will just let the people see your true faces and know what is going on.

I think the people's spit could drown you."

Eunuch Yao waved his hands hurriedly, "Guard Li, calm down. The prince is not conscious, you can't make any mistakes."

"If you can't even survive, why should you stay awake?"

Li Mingzhao approached the two men as he spoke.

Eunuch Yao and the imperial physician were trembling with fear.

Eunuch Yao retreated and pleaded with Chief Eunuch Qu for help: "Say something!"

Chief Steward Qu wiped his tears and said, "Say something? What do you want me to say? What did the late emperor tell you? Have you forgotten everything?"

You have betrayed your master, I will take you down to confess your sin to the late emperor!"

As Chief Steward Qu said this, he rushed towards Eunuch Yao and tried to strangle him.

Eunuch Yao looked at the two people who had lost control and was so scared that he crawled out of the house. "You can't kill me. We servants have no choice..."

Li Mingzhao rushed forward, raised his sword, and stabbed. Just as the tip of the sword touched Eunuch Yao's clothes, Ling Ming suddenly appeared out of nowhere and stopped him: "Li Mingzhao, Chief Manager Qu, calm down!"

After saying that, he turned around and yelled at Eunuch Yao and the imperial physician, "Why don't you leave quickly?"

Eunuch Yao and the imperial physician got up and ran, their wide sleeves fluttering wildly, and even one of their shoes fell off. They no longer had the leisure and composure they had when they came.

Only after running out of the house in a panic did the two of them breathe a sigh of relief.

The eunuch driving the carriage looked at the two men strangely: "Eunuch Yao, Imperial Physician, what's wrong with you? Is someone chasing you?"

Eunuch Yao said unhappily, "It's just that someone is chasing you."

In the carriage, the two of them sat in silence for a long time before Eunuch Yao sighed, "It seems the prince is being tortured by the poison and can no longer hold on.

Otherwise, Guard Li and Chief Manager Qu, who are both very patient, wouldn't have gone crazy and recklessly."

The imperial physician closed his eyes and said, "What a sin!"

Royal study room.

The Great Yan Emperor suddenly stood up from his chair and looked at Eunuch Yao.

"War King himself doesn't want to live anymore?"
