Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 126 Strange

The emperor felt that Xie Xi's statement was a bit strange, so he ignored it for a while and said, "Since Divine Doctor Sun is fine, let's invite him in."

Xie Xi spread his hands and said, "We brought him back, but... he seems to be dead."

The lights in the Qianqing Palace froze for an instant. The emperor opened his eyes wide and asked: "Human... Sun Duzhong, is he dead?"

Lin Zisu was kneeling on the ground, cleaning Xie Xi's wounds. After hearing these words, her hands instantly froze in the air.

She grabbed Xie Xi's clothes tightly, and her beautiful eyes instantly moistened. She stared at Xie Xi for a long time, then let go of her hand, laughed softly with tears in her eyes, shook her head and said, "Your Highness, you are teasing me again." Female, right?"

Xie Xi said nothing, gently pushed Lin Zisu's hand away, and shouted toward the door.

Then two guards carried a stretcher into the Qianqing Palace. It looked like the stretcher had been made in a hurry. It was just two small trees with some ropes and barks wrapped around them.

Lin Zisu stood up straight and looked towards the stretcher. There was a person lying on it, it was Sun Duzhong.

She rushed forward, first checked Sun Duzhong's breath, and found that the master was no longer breathing. She felt a little lucky, and then grabbed Sun Duzhong's wrist.

However, everything did not go as she expected. Sun Duzhong had no breath or pulse, and his face turned pale, as if he had been dead for a long time.

Both the emperor and Lin Zisu saw that this was Xie Xi's excuse. In front of Xie Hui and Xie Yun, the emperor couldn't blame him too closely, so he had to say: "That's all, I'm just waiting for Shouli's reply. You There are still injuries on your body, please retreat and recuperate first."

Lin Zisu shook her head slightly, bit her lip and said, "Your Majesty is right, people cannot be resurrected after death. No matter how much I cry, it will be useless."

Lin Zisu waited for the emperor to finish asking, and then said to Xie Xi: "Your Highness, I have something to ask. My master came to Qianqing Palace. Jingyang Palace is in the west, why is his body there?"

The emperor noticed her strangeness and said with a smile: "There is no one else around now. I ask you to sit down. Just sit down obediently."

When Xie Xi spoke, he still had an unruly expression on his face. The emperor frowned and couldn't help but interrupt him: "But you are talking nonsense again! Didn't you come back well?"

"Well, about half an hour ago, I chased the assassin all the way to Jingyang Palace, where I was ambushed by the assassin. Fortunately, I brought many people there, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to come back to see you alive. …”

The emperor was secretly surprised when he saw that Lin Zisu's face was still sad and her eye circles were still red. However, in just a moment, the expression on her face returned to normal.

The emperor said "hmm" and sat in front of the imperial case. Then he put his wrist on the imperial case and waited for Lin Zisu to diagnose his pulse.

The emperor gritted his teeth and said: "It seems that this time, the other party has already planned it."

Xie Xi shrugged and said: "There are a total of seventeen assassins. Except for one who escaped, the rest either died or committed suicide by taking poison. No one was left alive for us."

She raised her little face to look at Xie Xi and asked, "Your Highness, when did you discover my master in Jingyang Palace?"

At some point, Xie Xi stood silently beside her and whispered: "Miss Lin, I would like to express my condolences to you."

After the emperor finished speaking, he then asked: "Have the assassins been caught? Have those assassins confessed to the mastermind behind the scenes?"

Lin Zisu looked at her master's body reluctantly until the door of Qianqing Palace was slammed shut outside.

Xie Xi and Xie Hui both stared at Lin Zisu for a few times before exiting Qianqing Palace one after another.

At this height, Lin Zisu could not diagnose the pulse whether she was standing or kneeling. She was surprised that the emperor wanted her to sit down and diagnose patients like ordinary doctors.

Xie Xi held his chin with one hand and pondered for a long time before saying: "Miss Lin is right. What happened tonight was very strange. Even I almost died. I'm afraid all this will happen." Wait until Eunuch Cao goes to find out."

She didn't dare to sit on an equal footing with the emperor, so she looked around and focused her eyes on the little boy in the corner.

He did not stretch out his wrist towards Lin Zisu and said: "People cannot be resurrected after death. If you want to cry, you might as well cry."

The emperor heard her say these words and sighed: "Since I have been in the imperial court, I have thought that I am worthy of my ancestors and worthy of the people. If everything is perfect, it is not necessarily the case. What happened today is My negligence."

Xie Hui and Xie Yun remained silent. When the emperor asked this question, they both looked at Xie Xi, waiting for his answer.

The emperor also felt that this matter was very strange and asked: "Xiao Si'er, what was the situation at that time?"

Then the emperor asked Xie Xi some details, and Xie Xi replied lazily, and then said: "When I came back, I met Cao Shouli. Let's see if Dongchang can catch this fish that slipped through the net. If so, If he is caught, Father can ask him."

She wiped her face with her sleeve, and the faint smile returned to her face, and said: "Your Majesty, such a big thing happened tonight, and my master also suffered misfortune. I'm afraid it has delayed your condition, my lord." I’ll check your pulse now.”

"Your Majesty, don't worry about it. As the saying goes, 'It takes a thousand days to commit a thief, but a thousand days to prevent a thief.' What happened tonight was deliberately planned by someone. They didn't want Your Majesty to recover, so they took the risk. Even if they don't do it tonight, they will sooner or later in the next few days." I can also do it."

After the emperor finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something, and then said: "You all go out first, and just leave Miss Lin to heal me."

Lin Zisu squeezed Sun Duzhong's wrist tightly, her mind was in a mess, she still didn't believe that Sun Duzhong died.

"Girl Su, don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation."

Then several more guards came in and carried Sun Duzhong's body out.

Lin Zisu still persisted, and the emperor had no choice but to comply with her request, sat back on the soft couch, and said helplessly: "You girl, you are so polite to me! Learn more from Xiao Si'er, look at him, When have you ever been polite to me?"

Lin Zisu disagreed in her heart. Xie Xi was a prince, so he naturally had no taboos. Besides, he usually had his own way of doing things, and no one would hold him accountable if he went out of line occasionally.

My identity is very different from Xie Xi's, so how can I be rude?

Lin Zisu thought this in her heart, but she said: "His Royal Highness Prince Dun, Tianhuang, is a noble man. He is usually straightforward and casual. How can he be compared to this minister?"

The emperor smiled and asked, "Girl Su, what do you think of this kid, Xiao Si'er?"
