Seeing that Ruan Chen did not answer his question immediately, the man did not press him. Instead, he took a step back and said, "I'm not in a hurry to get an answer from Dr. Ruan, but I think that Dr. Ruan's body won't be able to support him for a few days."
Right? It’s getting late today, so I’d like to ask the imperial physician to go back to his home to rest. In order to prevent the imperial physician from being in danger, someone will be secretly protecting the imperial physician.”
Protection? Ruan Chen smiled sadly, saying it was protection, it was better to say that he was monitoring and controlling himself. Do you want to use this method to threaten and force yourself to agree to their conditions? But I don’t know what their purpose is?
Ruan Chen had no choice but to walk home alone. As for the people who had died because of him, he thought that the man in black would take care of it and not let others notice the disaster.
When Tong Li saw Ruan Chen returning home so quickly, she felt something was wrong. She felt extremely uncomfortable. She tried her best to sit up from the bed and asked, "Did something happen?"
Ruan Chen turned to look at the lady's pale face and slowly shook his head. "Nothing, I just remembered something and planned to go to the palace to see the emperor tomorrow. And it's so late, the emperor should have rested."
Ruan Chen tried his best to comfort Tong Li's emotions, and calculated in his heart how many days he and Tong Li could last at most. If those people had been monitoring him outside the palace, then once he entered the palace, wouldn't he
Can he get rid of their control? But this means that he is paying the price with his own life and Tong Li's life.
Ruan Chen was vaguely aware of a conspiracy, but he didn't want to believe it. He tossed and turned and didn't sleep all night. When he got up early the next morning and went to the palace to attend court, he was almost exhausted.
After leaving the court, Ruan Chen planned to return to the Imperial Physician's Palace first. On the way, he bumped into Jian Yuheng, who had not seen each other for a while. The two stopped and exchanged a few words.
"Mr. Ruan's complexion doesn't seem to be very good. Are you okay?" Jian Yuheng looked at Ruan Chen's strange look and asked with concern.
Ruan Chen was stunned for a moment, then smiled perfunctorily, lowered his eyes and said, "Maybe it's because I slept late recently, it's nothing serious."
Although Ruan Chen said so, Jian Yuheng still felt something strange about him. Ruan Chen was considered the best physician in the Imperial Medical Palace. Ruan Chen had always paid great attention to his own health. Jian Yuheng and Ruan Chen had known each other for so many years, and this was still the first time he had met Ruan Chen.
It was the first time I saw him looking so weak.
"I'll go back if I have something else to do."
"That's fine, I have something to go to see the emperor." Jian Yuheng nodded, and then said thoughtfully: "If Dr. Ruan needs my help in any way, just ask."
Ruan Chen's eyes flashed, he smiled slightly, and he and Jian Yuheng walked in opposite directions.
Ruan Chen stayed in the Imperial Physician's Hall for several hours. After several struggles, he finally mustered up the courage to see the emperor. During the short journey, he was trembling with fear every step he took. He was afraid that someone would suddenly appear from behind him.
will take his life.
"Where are you going, Doctor Ruan?"
Ruan Chen, who had his head lowered, almost had his heart beat out when he heard these words. He looked up suddenly and saw Lin Yichen.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Ruan Chen raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. "Go back to the prince, I have something to do to see the emperor."
"My father is currently with my mother and I should not have time to see you." Lin Yichen watched Ruan Chen's every move with sharp eyes, "Please ask Dr. Ruan to see him another day."
After hearing what Lin Yichen said, Ruan Chen felt an inexplicable fear for some reason. He looked at Lin Yichen blankly for a moment, and Ruan Chen replied knowingly: "Then I will go back to the Imperial Physician's Hall first."
"Mr. Ruan doesn't look good, please rest." Lin Yichen passed Ruan Chen with a smile and strode away. Ruan Chen frowned more and more as he looked at Lin Yichen's fading figure.
Jian Yuheng immediately found Lin Yinan after returning to the Eighth Emperor's Mansion and told him about Ruan Chen. Jian Yuheng may not be as proficient in medical skills as Ruan Chen, but after all, he has been with Lin Yinan for so long and has been thinking of all possible ways.
He was very clear about most of the signs of poisoning. Thinking of Ruan Chen's appearance today, it was obvious that he was poisoned. Maybe Jian Yuheng was overthinking it, but he
I still feel it is necessary to let Lin Yinan know about this.
After listening to what Jian Yuheng said, Lin Yinan pondered for a long time and said: "I will send someone to investigate this matter, but if the matter is as you suspect, and Ruan Chen is like you asking for help, you have to remember that this matter
You are not allowed to interfere in this matter."
"Master, do you mean to let Ruan Chen... die?"
"He won't die that easily." Lin Yinan waved his hand and asked Jian Yuheng to leave, then called Mu Ranchen and asked him to investigate the matter.
A day later, Mu Ranchen brought back the news. Just as Jian Yuheng said, Ruan Chen was indeed a reaction to poisoning.
"I didn't expect the prince to take action very quickly." Lin Yinan smiled calmly, met Mu Ranchen's puzzled gaze, and said: "Whether Ruan Chen agrees or not, Lin Yichen's next target will be the emperor, but it's just that
It’s just that it’s not easy to do it. My father trusts Ruan Chen very much, so it will be very simple to poison him through Ruan Chen’s hands.”
This once again proves that Lin Yichen has really joined forces with the Qingming Kingdom. Ordinary poisons cannot do anything to Ruan Chen, and if this is the case, then Lu Zhiyao was injured a few days ago.
Could it be that Lin Yichen also asked Qingming Kingdom to do it?
"Aren't you going to help Ruan Chen? If the prince succeeds at this time, it will not be good for us, right?"
"He will not attack the throne so quickly. Nangong Lingfeng is still at the border and has not returned. We have not received any information about Nangong Lingfeng's secret actions. A large number of troops are still under the control of Prince Mu. Once the prince tries to
If something is done, Prince Mu will definitely send troops to suppress it. After all, if the throne changes hands at this time, it will not be a good thing for him." Lin Yinan stood up from the chair with a lazy and calm posture, and it could be heard from his words,
He didn't care much about Ruan Chen's life or death. "If I guess correctly, the prince is more likely to want his father to announce to the world that he has been crown prince, and to take the opportunity to let his father leave a note to prevent any accidents from happening in the future. Really
If you have no choice but to kill your father, you can take out the 'edict' and take advantage of the opportunity to ascend to the throne."
"Now that you have guessed this, isn't the Eighth Prince going to do something?"
"You don't have to do anything, there will always be someone to stop him." Lin Yinan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, but there was a fearful cold look in his eyes. "After enduring it for so long, it's time for him to take action."
Mu Ranchen couldn't guess who the "him" Lin Yinan was talking about for a while, but seeing Lin Yinan's unfazed look, he felt relieved. Lin Yinan had always been someone who would leave a way out for him.
, no matter what happens, he will definitely find a way to deal with it.
The days passed, and finally it came to the time when Tong Li couldn't bear it anymore. These days, whenever Ruan Chen wanted to see the emperor, there would always be various people trying to stop him in various ways. Gradually, whenever Ruan Chen wanted to see the emperor, there would always be people trying to stop him in various ways.
Damn it, Ruan Chen has given up.
Watching Tong Li vomiting blood, life was worse than death, but there was nothing he could do. This was the first time Ruan Chen had felt this feeling in his life.
In the end, the fear of death finally prevailed. No matter what, the first priority is to understand the other party's purpose and save your own life.
After some careful consideration, Ruan Chen chose to have direct contact with the other party again. Looking at the man in front of him, Ruan Chen said feebly: "What do you want me to do before you let me go?"
"Doctor Ruan, don't say it so harshly. You and I are just doing what we need. Besides, even if you join forces with us, you may not necessarily suffer a loss. The days to come may be hundreds of times better than now."
Woolen cloth?"
Ruan Chen smiled stiffly, "If you really didn't want me to say unpleasant things, you wouldn't have chosen to use this method to deal with me in the first place. Tell me, did the prince send you or the eighth prince? Ten million
Don't tell me you are the Fourth Prince, I won't believe you."
Although Ruan Chen was the first to suspect the prince because Lin Yichen came to see him but was rejected by him, but Jian Yuheng's words that day also made him doubtful.
"How could it be the fourth prince? He doesn't have time to come find you now." The man also felt that it was almost time to let Ruan Chen know the truth, so he said, "The prince must have deliberately found you before, right?"
Ruan Chen sighed secretly, is he really the prince...
Ruan Chen nodded and replied: "It is true that I have searched for him. Is it because the minister did not agree at that time that the prince chose to use this method?"
"Doesn't this also show the importance of Dr. Ruan and that the prince must be you?" Of course the man could hear the dissatisfaction in Ruan Chen's words. He took something out of his arms and threw it in front of Ruan Chen and said: "
Go call Madam and ask her to take the antidote. This medicine can only relieve the pain for three days at most, which means that the imperial doctor will have to meet with us every three days."
The other party broke Ruan Chen's extravagant hope of secretly studying the antidote to detoxify himself and Tong Li, so he asked Ruan Chen and Tong Li to take the antidote one after another. Since Ruan Chen had thought about the prince in advance, of course he
I thought about what the prince wanted to do with me.
"Even if I help, the prince may not succeed." Ruan Chen knows very well how cautious Lin Yunlong is. "Just tell me what you want me to do specifically."
"No rush, you need to rest for two days and we will discuss this matter again." The man was not in a hurry to take action. The smile in his eyes made Ruan Chen feel that he had no power to resist at all. He helplessly watched the man leave. Ruan Chen
He slumped down on the chair and couldn't leave the room for a long time.
