Making you a son-in-law is not about making you conquer the world.

Inside the imperial study, the three remained silent, while the king and Xia Yeran looked rather grim.

Now Lu Zhan is all-powerful, holding military power, and even the guards outside the gate are his confidants, which makes the king uneasy.

To put it bluntly, the king is under house arrest in the palace, and neither his freedom nor his safety is guaranteed.

Lin Ping's complexion was also not good, but it was because of the wound on his shoulder.

"Send Imperial Physician Hua to treat Minister Chen's injuries." The king did not want to make things difficult for Lin Ping any further.

With his mere martial arts examination degree, does he really think he can fly to the heavens or dive into the earth?

The fact that he was able to expose He Wei and others' crimes was a result of long-planned schemes, but he was not prepared for Lu Zhan, so he had no way to deal with it.

Due to the severity of his injuries, Lin Ping will remain in the palace for the time being.

After making inquiries from various sources, he learned that Zhou Xiyin and the others were safe and sound and had not been tortured in the Jinyiwei prison, which put his mind at ease.

"Dr. Lin's wound is very deep and prone to festering. I can only prescribe a few remedies," Hua Feiying said humbly.

It takes courage to heal the wounds of a legendary healer.

Even the slightest error in what you say will be refuted.

Hua Feiying was not a petty person; in fact, he hoped that Lin Ping could refute him so that he could learn more advanced medical skills.

"Don't worry, Dr. Hua. The ulceration you described is a bacterial infection, which can be cured with oral antibiotics."

As he spoke, Lin Ping took out a few pills and swallowed them with warm water.

"What are bacteria? Are antibiotics miracle drugs?" Hua Feiying asked eagerly, without any doubt in Lin Ping's words.

"This is a question that cannot be answered in a short time. In a while, I will be opening a school in Yingtian Prefecture to explain some scientific principles. If Imperial Physician Hua is interested, he is welcome to attend," Lin Ping replied.

"Dr. Lin is opening a school? This is wonderful news! I will immediately gather doctors from all over the country to come and learn." Hua Feiying was extremely excited, as happy as a child.

Lin Ping did not object, believing that it was not a bad thing for more medical professionals to understand scientific principles.

Even if they are over fifty years old, have poor ability to accept new things, or directly reject some of Lin Ping's views, it doesn't matter. At worst, we can give them a few important formulas, which will always be of some help to the development of medicine.

Lin Ping even considered writing a medical book, modeled after Sun Simiao's "Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Pieces of Gold".

Filled with excitement, Hua Feiying hurriedly left, presumably to use her connections to gather doctors from all over the world.

Given Wu Guo's mode of transportation, it would take at least a month for him to gather all the doctors, giving Lin Ping ample time to prepare.

Right now, what he needs to do is get rid of Lu Zhan as soon as possible, lest things get complicated.

"Hmph, how come you don't feel pain to say such hurtful things?" Xia Linglong pulled hard on the cotton cloth bandaging Lin Ping's wound, making him wince in pain.

Xia Linglong's mood was like a rollercoaster ride throughout the day.

Initially, she was worried that Lin Ping wouldn't win the title of martial arts champion, then she was saddened by what he said in front of everyone, and now she's concerned about his injuries.

In short, it was a mix of joy and sorrow, with sorrow outweighing joy.

Her mood depended on Lin Ping's attitude, and had little to do with Lu Zhan.

"You want to murder your husband?" Lin Ping said jokingly, grinning.

"You talk like you're really going to marry me," Xia Linglong replied irritably.

"Although others may not be able to see it, I know your feelings for Jiang Yunying."

"Zhou Xiyin is nothing but a shield. Even if you divorce him, you'll only have Jiang Yunying in your heart. There's no place for me."

Every female animal gets jealous, and this doesn't change based on race or status.

"Tomboy, you don't actually like me, do you? Even though I'm handsome and should be favored by all the women in the world, you're not even a woman."

He feigned confusion and said.

Xia Linglong's clothing, appearance, and behavior do indeed resemble those of a boy.

However, after so many events, even though Lin Ping is a straight man and incredibly naive, he should know Xia Linglong's feelings for him.

He said this because he didn't want to make the atmosphere too awkward, since Jiang Yunying was the only one in his heart.

“That’s right, I’m not a woman, so I’m stronger.” As she spoke, Xia Linglong bandaged Lin Ping again with all her might.

The wound that was about to heal was forced to bleed again by her, causing Lin Ping to break out in a cold sweat from the pain.

"I didn't mean to, are you alright?" Seeing the bloodstains, Xia Linglong was heartbroken and quickly apologized to Lin Ping, her eyes already welling up with tears.

"You're being so fussy, not like a real man at all. I already told you it's just a superficial injury," Lin Ping replied, enduring the excruciating pain.

The more he said that, the more upset Xia Linglong felt, and the tears that were welling up in her eyes finally fell.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault," Xia Linglong said, choking back tears.

"How can you assassinate Lu Zhan in this state, and how can you help your father escape the crisis?"

"Assassinate Lu Zhan?" Xia Linglong suddenly became interested and forcibly held back her tears.

She knew Lin Ping's decisive nature; he was definitely not joking.

“That’s right, it was to assassinate Lu Zhan. If he doesn’t die, when will the court ever be at peace?” Lin Ping said seriously.

“I know you mean well, but Lu Zhan is highly skilled in martial arts, and there are at least a thousand guards in the General’s Mansion. Not to mention me, even Shi Qing doesn’t have that kind of strength,” Xia Linglong replied.

If you want to kill Lu Zhan, you must not force your way in. There are not only a thousand guards inside the general's mansion, but also thousands of people in the city and tens of thousands outside the city.

The assassination must be carried out with the help of a skilled assassin.

However, Xia Linglong's strength was limited, and the entire Embroidered Uniform Guard could not ignore the strength of a thousand guards.

"Who said we were going to do it ourselves? We're just here to watch the show." Lin Ping smiled mysteriously.

"You mean someone else will help us assassinate Lu Zhan? And they're top-tier experts?" Xia Linglong still didn't quite understand.

Now that He Wei and others have been arrested, Lu Zhan is in charge of the entire court. Everyone is eager to curry favor with him, but they have no motive to kill him, nor do they have the courage or ability to do so.

Lin Ping glanced at the time outside the window and said in a low voice, "It should be about time."

Before he could finish speaking, a eunuch rushed in from outside the door.

"What is it?" Xia Linglong asked in confusion.

"Your Highness, He Wei, Xiang Lian, and Wu Xin were killed by Long Sha in the imperial prison, and he also took the opportunity to escape!" the eunuch replied.

"He Wei and the others are dead? Long Sha escaped?"

Xia Linglong couldn't process such a large amount of information in a short time.

The Imperial Prison was the most secure prison for the Embroidered Uniform Guard. It was so secure that it was difficult for prisoners to even meet, let alone commit murder. Escape was out of the question.

"Was this also part of your plan?" Xia Linglong stared at Lin Ping with a puzzled look, as if she had thought of something.

"If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring breeze. This can be considered a deal between me and Long Sha. I spared his life, and he helped me kill people."

Suddenly, Xia Linglong looked at Lin Ping with fear in her eyes. She couldn't help but think, "What kind of man is this? Every smile and frown of his is deadly!"
