The two of them quickened their pace and moved forward, but at this moment——
"stop!"
Accompanied by a burst of sonorous footsteps, a huge figure towered majestically, with a golden sword lying in front of the two of them. The shadow it cast dragged long on the ground, covering Chen Shaojun and the imperial doctor who had just walked over.
Chen Shaojun raised his head and saw the figure in front of him who was wearing armor and had a stern face. He exuded an aura like a mountain or a sea, but his eyes were like a tiger's and a jackal's, wanting to choose someone to devour, which made people feel extremely uncomfortable.
.
The armor style on this man was obviously different from that of the imperial guards in the palace. He looked quite gorgeous, and exuded a strong sense of majesty and power. He was obviously of high status, but what worried Chen Shaojun the most was the look on his face when he looked at him.
.
Killing intent...
Chen Shaojun's heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively felt a strong sense of danger.
His identity should not have been revealed yet, so where did the murderous intent in this man come from?
In an instant, Chen Shaojun suddenly became alert.
"Master Li, why are you here?"
At this moment, the voice of the imperial physician came from the side. The moment he saw the man, the imperial physician quickly bowed his head with a scrupulous look on his face.
"Chen Jun, why don't you bow quickly? This is the chief of the Dragon Guard in the palace. He is responsible for the daily life and safety of the princes in the palace. He holds the power of life and death and has a very high status in the palace."
As he said that, he quickly pushed Chen Shaojun aside, as if he was afraid that he would offend Mr. Li.
However, the captain of the Dragon Guard on the white jade Danchi opposite him didn't pay attention to the imperial doctor at the side. His eyes never left Chen Shaojun from the beginning to the end.
The moment the imperial doctor finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows and his eyes suddenly became much colder.
"Is this the person you were looking for to treat the Crown Prince?"
The man's face was stern, and he suddenly walked over slowly step by step from the white jade ridge, with a strong sense of threat suddenly appearing on his body:
"You are so brave!"
"So many miracle doctors and famous doctors have come and failed, and now you have found another unknown person."
"At such a young age, you actually dare to expose yourself and treat the crown prince's illness. I think your treatment is fake and you have bad intentions. It's true that you want to take the opportunity to murder the crown prince!"
"Your Highness has not recovered from his illness for a long time. I think it was all caused by you villains. I will kill you today to set the record straight!"
As the man spoke, he actually put his hand on the long sword. Without any explanation, he pulled out the sword from his waist with a clang. For a moment, a thick and murderous aura was fierce and fierce, and it immediately enveloped Chen Shaojun.
"Sir, no!"
The imperial doctor on the side was shocked. He knew something about Master Li in the palace, but he never expected that he had just brought someone here and he was going to kill Chen Shaojun without saying a word.
And now it seems that the other party is definitely not passing by by chance as he initially thought, but has been waiting here for a long time.
Killing someone in the palace in broad daylight is a taboo in itself, but the imperial physician knew that the man in front of him definitely had such power.
"you dare!"
At this moment, a thunderous shout suddenly exploded in the air. Just before the guard's sword was added to his body, the young man on the side stepped forward instead of retreating, and suddenly took a step forward to face the sword.
The young man's body was upright, his expression was solemn, and he showed no fear at the critical moment of life and death.
"When I reveal the emperor's name, I am obeying the holy order. Regardless of my previous status, from the moment I enter the palace, I am obeying the emperor's order to treat the crown prince's illness."
"The emperor's order is as strong as a mountain. Do you, a little captain of the bodyguard, dare to disobey the emperor's order?"
"Or maybe you have ulterior motives. On the surface, you say you are thinking about the crown prince, but in fact you have ulterior motives and ulterior motives. The case of the fourth prince has not been investigated yet. There are still many fish and remnants who have slipped through the net, or you are one of them.
!”
Chen Shaojun's eyes were sharp, and his young body was so aggressive that he actually burst out with a huge momentum that was not inferior to that of the captain of the guard.
"Buzz!"
Hearing the first words spoken by Chen Shaojun, the captain of the guard suddenly changed his expression. Hearing the next few words, he was even more frightened. His expression changed again and again. In the end, the sharp sword seemed to be struck by
Like a clamp of invisible magic power, when Chen Shaojun was still about half a foot above his head, it suddenly stopped and he could no longer strike.
"Full of nonsense!"
The face of the captain of the guard surnamed Li was as frosty, and the murderous intent on his body was extremely strong. However, the long knife in his hand stopped in mid-air, and he did not dare to act rashly.
As the chief guard in the palace, he holds great power and has a very high status, far beyond comparison with others.
In his eyes, the young man in front of him was just a nobody, as contemptible as an ant.
However, the words in the young man's mouth were sharper than the sword in his hand. If he continued to slash, according to Chen Shaojun, it would be tantamount to disobeying the emperor and admitting to being a traitor.
"That's right, that's right. If you reveal the Imperial List, you will receive the emperor's order. Mr. Li must not take action. We should wait until we enter the East Palace."
The imperial doctor on the side also spoke at this time, secretly saying that he was lucky.
The young man next to him is really surprising. If nothing else, his courage alone is enough to make people sit up and take notice.
At that moment, he thought that Chen Shaojun would definitely die. However, with just a few words, Chen Shaojun managed to silence Captain Li.
You must know that Captain Li has been relying on his relationship with the princes in the palace to be overbearing and domineering. Otherwise, he would not dare to kill people in broad daylight and no one would dare to disobey him.
——This is the first time that Qing Yanyong has seen someone make this Captain Li feel defeated!
"Ridiculous! So what if you are eloquent? Do you think I will believe you and let you enter the East Palace?"
Captain Li said coldly, but his expression was no longer as tough as before. The young man in front of him was far more difficult than he thought.
"Really? In that case, the imperial list is here. Mr. Li, you can take action now!"
Chen Shaojun smiled coldly. Not only did he not retreat, he even took another step forward, only half a step away from Captain Li:
"If you dare to openly disobey the emperor's order, I want to see what will happen to you!"
At the end of the sentence, Chen Shaojun's voice suddenly rose a few degrees, making him stand out in the silent palace.
In an instant, even the imperial guards in the palace couldn't help but be attracted and looked over.
In front of the White Jade Danchi, this small square inch of land suddenly became the center of everyone's attention.
The situation was immediately reversed.
Facing the aggressive and extremely powerful Chen Shaojun, Captain Li's expression was suffocated, and his expression became obviously a little embarrassed. In the current situation, it was neither right for him to take action nor not to take action.
He never thought that the young man in front of him could be so difficult to deal with and push him to this point.
"Master Qing is here. The adults have received the news and are waiting inside. Come in quickly!"
Just when the atmosphere was stagnant, and Captain Li was in a difficult position, suddenly a burst of chaotic footsteps came from behind. In just a few breaths, several eunuchs in brocade clothes, with obvious signs of the East Palace on their bodies, strode away from behind.
come over.
I don't know why, but when he saw this person appearing, Captain Li suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hmph, I'll let you go for now, but if you can't cure the crown prince's disease, you will die!"
After saying these words, Guard Li flicked his long sleeves, took advantage of this step, and quickly turned around and left.
He no longer dared to quarrel with the young man in front of him any longer.
Chen Shaojun just sneered when he saw this, but didn't say anything else.
Without further delay, Chen Shaojun followed the visitor and walked forward.
The closer they got to the East Palace, the more tense and heavy the atmosphere became, and no one paid attention to Chen Shaojun anymore.
"I heard that the Crown Prince's health is getting worse and worse. Fortunately, I was not assigned to the East Palace. In the past few days, the Crown Prince/the maids in the palace have changed batch after batch. I heard that they all serve poorly and bump into the Emperor.
The prince's family was punished by the queen, and I'm afraid they will never come back."
"I heard from Mr. Li in front of the waiter that the emperor has issued an order that if the crown prince is not well after the fifteenth day, all the suspects in the cell will be interrogated and executed."
"Shh, is this something we can discuss? Hurry up and shut up!"
…
Not far away, several palace maids were holding wooden basins, in which were placed the clothes collected by each palace for washing, and hurried past with their heads lowered.
As they passed the East Palace, their bodies became a little stiff and they subconsciously quickened their pace, as if they wanted to stay away from this ominous place.
The few people left quickly, their voices kept very low. In the palace, such "gossip" was extremely common, but Chen Shaojun still couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart.
The group continued to move forward and stepped onto the white jade Danchi. In front of them was the magnificent Shangdong Palace.
The palace is surrounded by a tall, burly and powerful imperial guard, and on the ridges of the eaves and brackets, there are carved four-legged dragons with teeth and claws, as well as dragon patterns everywhere, all of which show the nobility of this place.
.
"boom!"
The moment Chen Shaojun stepped onto the steps, the huge palace door of the East Palace suddenly opened. In the blink of an eye, two steady-footed Jinwu guards crossed the threshold and strode out, dragging a figure.
The figure looked frightened and kept roaring and struggling:
"I can do it! I can save the crown prince! Please give me another chance! I don't want to die! I don't want to!"
However, the two Jinwu guards looked indifferent and did not listen at all. They dragged the man past Chen Shaojun for a moment and disappeared into the distance.
For a moment, there was deathly silence in front of the entire East Palace, and the atmosphere became extremely depressing.
"again!"
The leading eunuch in brocade shook his head, turned to look at Chen Shaojun with a trace of pity in his eyes:
"Sir, if you want to regret it, this is your last chance."
"Sir, do you want to think about it again?"
The imperial doctor Qing Yanyong on the side also couldn't bear to say.
The emperor's order cannot be violated. If he fails, he will die. Chen Shaojun is young, and Qing Yanyong doesn't want him to suffer like this.
"No need, I've made up my mind."
Chen Shaojun's expression was extremely firm.
There is no turning back after firing his bow. No matter how dangerous the situation is, he will never look back.
This time, there was no need for anyone to lead the way. Chen Shaojun jumped out from behind, crossed the threshold, and entered the East Palace first.
