You died to save me, I promise you a lifetime

Zhao Jingchen smiled and nodded.

"Well, let's just wait and see the show."

At this time, Li Mingzhao and others were working with Manager Qu to erase all the traces left last night, and even replaced the damaged flowers and plant ornaments.

After packing up, Li Mingzhao went to the dungeon angrily.

At this time, the dungeon was full of Dragon Shadow Guards who had been fed with muscle softening powder. The iron cage was so tight that even the Dragon Shadow Guards could only sigh and hopeless. It was a pipe dream to think of escaping from the prison.

Everyone sat dejectedly in the prison, while Mingxiao, suffering from several sword wounds, lay on a pile of weeds.

In order to prevent him from dying, the palace's secret guards sprinkled some golden medicine on his wounds.

Li Mingzhao walked past the cells one by one, came to the cell where Mingxiao was, and knocked on the iron door with the sword in his hand.

"Mingxiao, aren't you the all-powerful leader of the Dragon Shadow Guard? Didn't you want to help our prince escape early? What? Did you escape on your own?

Humph, I'll come back to deal with you later."

Just after the end of the Chen hour, Zhao Jingchen and Mu Yunge were sitting and drinking tea and chatting when a secret guard came to report: "Your Highness, Eunuch Yao and the imperial physician are here."

Mu Yunge quickly retreated under the guidance of the young eunuch. Zhao Jingchen swallowed the pill given by Mr. Xu with a dark face. After a few breaths, he lay down on the bed with a pale face.

A moment later, Eunuch Yao and the imperial physician came to Zhao Jingchen's bedroom under the guidance of the guards.

"This humble servant pays respects to His Majesty!"

Manager Qu waved his hand indifferently: "What are you doing here again? If you think your life is too long, just let us know and we'll have someone help you."

Li Mingzhao drew his sword angrily and pointed at the two men: "What's the matter? I spared you last time, but you didn't take me seriously?"

Eunuch Yao was so frightened that he quickly waved his hands, "No, no, no, we are also here to visit the prince. Guard Li, calm down, this thing is dangerous."

"You know the danger. Next time, be more tactful and don't bother to offend our prince. Our prince is still breathing. You can go back and report to your master."

The imperial physician stepped forward to take Zhao Jingchen's pulse and nodded to Eunuch Yao.

Eunuch Yao looked at Chief Steward Qu and said, "Qu Wen, it's been years since we last talked together. I have something to tell you. How about taking me for a walk?"

coming!

You little brat, you act like a grandson.

We have served the late emperor together for more than 20 years, and now you are cocky and we know what you are up to, humph...

Manager Qu complained in his heart, but his expression was not happy. "My family is not as free and comfortable as yours. I have to say it in a few words. I have a lot of things to do at home and I don't have time to accompany you."

"Of course!"

Chief Steward Qu took Eunuch Yao out of Zhao Jingchen's bedroom and came to the garden outside. The imperial physician followed from a distance, and both of them kept glancing around.

Eunuch Yao smiled as he walked, "It's not convenient to talk here, let's go outside."

Manager Qu brought them to the front yard again.

Eunuch Yao pointed at the garden excitedly and said, "Oh, the flowers in that garden are blooming so beautifully. Let's go and take a look."

As he said this, he walked deeper into the garden and even went to the wall of the mansion to take a look, but he didn't see any signs of a fight.

He and the imperial physician searched separately and walked along the palace wall for a while, but found nothing.

It's so strange. No one was found alive, and no body was found after death. Not even a trace was left.

Manager Qu stopped and looked at the two men coldly, "What are you looking for? Do you want us to ask Guard Li and the others to help you find it?"

Eunuch Yao and the imperial physician hurriedly shook their heads. "Look at what you said. What can we find? We just thought the scenery of this palace was unique, so we took a closer look."

"Really? Don't you have something to say to our family?"

Eunuch Yao smiled awkwardly and said, "Oh, it's like this. The Emperor felt unwell after retiring from court and said he missed the prince. The Empress Dowager has also been calling in the imperial physician every day these days.

After all, they are blood relatives. Can you bring the prince into the palace so they can be together?"

Chief Steward Qu frowned, grabbed Eunuch Yao by the collar, and gritted his teeth, "The prince is only breathing his last breath, why are we gathering together?

If I remember correctly, wasn't the prince poisoned during the last gathering in the palace? Remember, it was only the Queen Mother, the Emperor, and you at that time, right?

"I've been wanting to ask you one day, were you the one who poisoned me? You're such a ruthless person, the late emperor treated you well. What? Just because you changed your master, you've forgotten your roots?"

Eunuch Yao's face flushed red as he shook his head desperately, "It's not me! You have no evidence, don't make false accusations!"

"It's not you? Could it be the Queen Mother? Although the Queen Mother is cold and indifferent to our prince, our prince even gave up the throne because of her.

It is said that even a tiger will not eat its own cubs. She would not poison our prince, would she?

Aside from the Queen Mother, you and your servant are the only ones left. You are truly very kind. When the Princess returns, I will definitely report you to her and seek justice for our Prince."

After saying this, he ignored the calls and tugs of Eunuch Yao and the imperial physician, flicked his sleeves, and said, "Come on, send the guest away!"

A guard came forward and pushed the two men out of the house.

Outside the mansion.

The imperial physician looked at Eunuch Yao in confusion and wonder: "I don't see any traces."

Eunuch Yao nodded grimly, "We didn't see any traces at home. This is really weird."

The two finally calmed down and got on the carriage back to the palace.

The imperial physician kept glancing at Eunuch Yao, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

Eunuch Yao was in a state of confusion. Seeing him like this, he said angrily, "Just say what you want to say. Who are you showing off to?"

The imperial physician simply asked, "Eunuch, you asked us to find signs of a fight. Who was the fight between the prince and the palace?"

"Curiosity kills the cat. Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask."

Having said that, the imperial physician felt that he would be uneasy if he didn't ask, so he said stiffly, "Since we've known each other for many years, please tell me a little bit. Was it you who poisoned the prince?"

Eunuch Yao angrily said, "Have you lost your mind? I am just a servant. I have no grudge against the prince. The late emperor even showed me kindness. Why would I poison the prince?"

When we do things for others, many of them are not done by our own will and we have no control over them.

We advise you to keep today's events to yourself. Otherwise, don't blame us if you lose your life."

The imperial physician nodded woodenly.

Manager Qu was right. It was indeed the emperor and this pickler who did it. It is really like living with a tiger to serve the emperor. It seems that I should retire and return home after returning.

Eunuch Yao was too lazy to ask him what he was thinking. He was just secretly worried about how he would explain to the emperor when he returned.

On the other side, after driving away Eunuch Yao and the imperial physician, Manager Qu returned to Zhao Jingchen's bedroom with a smile.

"Your Highness, as expected, they searched the front garden and the corner of the wall for a long time under the pretext of looking at the scenery, but found no trace."

Zhao Jingchen asked Li Mingzhao and the others, "What do you think will happen to that Dragon Shadow Guard if he disappears like this?"

Chief Manager Qu curled his lips and said, "Based on my understanding of that person, he will keep it a secret.

The Dragon Shadow Guard is in this state because of his wrong decision. He will conceal it if he can. After a few days of concealment, the people outside will return."

Li Mingzhao frowned, "You mean, he will suffer this loss?"
