All healers had a common problem: the better their medical skills, the worse their temper.
Dugu Xiu had witnessed Yun Sheng's medical skills with his own eyes. Now that Dugu Sheng looked like he was about to meet the King of Hell, if Yun Sheng left him alone, Dugu Sheng might really die.
As the Crown Prince, Dugu Xiu had never been despised like this. But he couldn't talk back, so he could only gloomily send people to gather herbs.
"Before the herbs are gathered, you and this Crown Prince will wait in the side hall and observe Imperial Father's condition. Everyone else, withdraw. Imperial Father needs some peace and quiet," Dugu Xiu ordered. Even the Qing Empress was asked to leave.
"Aiyoyo," the old man called out at the right time. Yun Sheng hurried forward to check.
"The old man's condition is serious. I need to treat him for now." Yun Sheng didn't miss the smile on Ye Beiming's face.
"How troublesome. Someone, arrange a clean room." Dugu Xiu felt that the old man was born to be his nemesis.
No matter how he looked at him, he didn't like him.
If it weren't for the fact that Imperial Father's poison still needed treatment, he really wanted to kill that old bastard.
Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming were sent to a room, and Yun Sheng closed the door.
The 'old man' who was lying on the sickbed immediately sat up with a grunt.
"Are we going to find Second Uncle and the others?" Yun Sheng glanced outside the room and saw two guards standing guard outside.
"No hurry. We have few people, so we have to split up." Ye Beiming looked serious.
Yun Sheng had recovered her magic, but Dugu Xiu still dared to let her move around freely.
Besides the fact that Yun Sheng was poisoned and couldn't move around alone for too long, there was another reason: Dugu Xiu still had Yun Canglang and the other hostages.
Ye Beiming followed Yun Sheng into the Imperial Palace this time to help her save people and eliminate his worries.
He took out a map of the Later Qin Imperial Palace.
Ye Beiming had already made sufficient preparations. On this map, he had marked out three regions that he suspected might be used to imprison Yun Canglang and Donghuang Linger.
The first was the Imperial Prison, the second was the Crown Prince's Mansion, and the third was the Imperial Palace's training grounds.
The Imperial Prison was a common place for prisoners, and it was the most likely place to imprison prisoners.
However, after Yun Sheng burned down the Imperial Palace with her Fairy Fire, nearly half of the Imperial Prison was damaged, and the possibility of imprisoning criminals was greatly reduced.
The second place was the Crown Prince's Mansion.
Although the Crown Prince's residence had experienced a fire, the damage was relatively light. There were still a few traps in the Crown Prince's residence that only Dugu Xiu knew about.
The last place was the Imperial Palace's training grounds, and it was also the place where Director Song taught the princes martial arts in the early years.
Yun Sheng couldn't help but admire Ye Beiming's methods. She had stayed in the Crown Prince's Mansion for close to a month, and the number of clues that she obtained was less than the number of clues that he had obtained in the past few days.
"You stay here first. I can see that Dugu Xiu is very suspicious, and he will definitely come back to look for you later. It's more convenient for me to act alone," Ye Beiming said, then pushed open the window.
"You, be careful," Yun Sheng reminded him.
Hearing the concern in the little wild kitten's words, Ye Beiming's lips curled up, and he said in a deep voice, "If I save Second Uncle and Donghuang Linger, you will owe me a big favor. Little wild kitten, how about you repay me with your body?"
"Repay your head," Yun Sheng was so angry that she stomped her feet.
Ye Beiming, on the other hand, bent his waist and quietly disappeared.
"If you can come back safely … I will repay you with my body … and …" Yun Sheng watched him leave, her heart in turmoil.
"Miss Yun, the Crown Prince sent word that there has been a change in His Majesty's condition, and he wants you to hurry over." Outside the door, a palace maid knocked.
Yun Sheng opened the door, feeling strange. Dugu Sheng's poison wasn't serious, and it shouldn't have gotten worse. How could there be a change in his condition? It must be Dugu Xiu's doing.
To avoid Dugu Xiu's suspicion, Yun Sheng had to go to the Imperial View Palace.
When she arrived at the Imperial View Palace, Yun Sheng suddenly frowned as she felt that something was wrong.
There was no one in the palace.
On the sickbed, Dugu Sheng's face was ghastly pale.
Yun Sheng walked over and saw a dagger stuck in Dugu Sheng's chest.
It was at this time that Qing Hou led a group of people and charged in angrily.
Seeing Yun Sheng standing by the bed and Dugu Sheng's tragic death, she almost fainted. "You, you killed His Majesty."
"Mother." Dugu Xiu and Director Song rushed into the room. They saw Dugu Sheng's lifeless body on the bed and Yun Sheng's calm face.
"I didn't kill him." Yun Sheng realized that she had been set up.
It seemed that someone had faked Dugu Xiu's order to lure her here.
"She was the one who killed him. She was the only one in the Imperial View Palace. I heard from the palace maids that you and Director Song went to check the prison because you were worried that no one would take care of His Majesty. Who knew that when I arrived, I saw that woman standing by the bed. His Majesty had already died from anger." Qing Empress stroked her chest with a heartbroken face.
"If I wanted to kill him, I didn't have to do it myself. I didn't have to do it. When I came in, Dugu Sheng was already dead. I'll admit that I killed him. But if I didn't, I won't take the blame. "Yun Sheng's indifference silenced Dugu Xiu.
"Master, I'll leave her to you for now. Mother, Xiu wants to talk to you. "Dugu Xiu and Director Song exchanged a look.
Director Song got the hint and left with Yun Sheng.
After Yun Sheng and Director Song left, Dugu Xiu dismissed the palace maids and guards.
Later Qin Emperor Dugu Sheng was still lying on the bed. The blood on his chest had dried up, and the dagger looked particularly glaring.
"Mother, you don't have to be in such a hurry." Dugu Xiu looked at Qing Empress.
Qing Empress felt guilty. She mumbled, "Xiu 'er, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
"You killed her, didn't you? I heard that you ordered several palace maids to kill Concubine Zi." Dugu Xiu knew his mother well.
When Dugu Sheng was still alive, she couldn't stand those young and beautiful concubines in the palace.
Especially Concubine Zi. Qing Empress had always wanted to get rid of her.
But Dugu Sheng had been protecting her, so Qing Empress couldn't find the right opportunity.
Taking advantage of the fact that Emperor Dugu Sheng was in a coma, and coincidentally, the imperial doctors found out that Concubine Zi was pregnant, Empress Qing planned to kill Concubine Zi.
But Concubine Zi resisted desperately and escaped to the Imperial View Palace with the help of an old maid.
Concubine Zi cried and complained in front of Dugu Sheng's bed.
Qing Empress was furious and came to arrest Concubine Zi. But Dugu Sheng suddenly woke up.
