Chapter 634: Treating the Illness

Under the scorching sun.

These Nobles and Scholar-officials also arrived one by one on foot, not far from the Yangxin Hall.

Without the cooling effect of ice, Zhu Zhen was also covered in sweat.

"Why haven't they come out yet?"

"Is there still no news?"

"Oh, Master Zhang, hurry inside and find out..."

Everyone was anxious to the point of desperation.

"I go find out? Why don't you go?"

That Master Zhang was furious.

At a time like this, whoever dares to go in, dies!

Don't you see the layers of Imperial Guard, armed to the teeth, surrounding the place?

"Heh, Master Zhang, your perspective is too narrow! You are an official of the Imperial Hospital! This concerns the safety of the Emperor; you should offer an Admonishment to the death! At this point, let's stop holding back. Master Zhang, think about it: if this Prefect Liu causes any trouble, can you and the Imperial Hospital possibly escape responsibility?"

Crown Prince Xie Fang sneered coldly.

That Master Zhang immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Isn't that so?

Which time the Emperor passed away did they, the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital, not have to follow him in death?

If the Emperor cannot be saved, do you not bear responsibility?

The feudal dynasty is just this overbearing!

Today, if Prefect Liu can cure the old Emperor, then so be it.

If he cannot...

Master Zhang shuddered, his gaze fixed on the Yangxin Hall.

Either way, it's death!

One way or another, it's death!

He exchanged glances several times with the few imperial physicians he had brought.

Yet, just at this moment.

"Ah..."

"Ah! It hurts Us to death! It hurts Us to death! We do not want to live anymore!"

"Ah ah ah ah!"

The sudden wailing caused everyone's expressions to change drastically.

"The Emperor!"

"Sob, sob, sob, Emperor, Emperor!"

Everyone knelt down, weeping bitterly.

As if they could truly hear it in their ears and feel the pain in their own bodies...

"This, this, this, why haven't they used the medicine yet!"

After listening for a while, Master Zhang's expression grew increasingly ugly, and he stomped his feet in anger.

Others heard Xie Tianyao's voice growing louder and louder, and their expressions changed one after another.

"Master Zhang, it seems this Prefect Liu knows nothing of medicine at all!"

"Master Zhang, hurry inside; any later and it might be, any later and it might be..."

Master Zhang also gritted his teeth hard; if not now, when?

Charge!

He led the few imperial physicians and prepared to rush in.

"What are you doing?"

"No one is allowed to move!"

"All of you, back away!"

The Imperial Guard guarding outside the Yangxin Hall had cold, stern expressions.

Master Zhang shouted angrily: "I am an Executive of the Imperial Hospital; if anything happens to the Emperor, can you bear the responsibility?"

The Imperial Guard had received orders to the death and remained unmoved by this threat.

Xie Fang saw this and gave a cold smile: "Orders are dead, but people are alive... brothers, Master Zhang is offering an Admonishment to the death; his loyalty is as clear as the sun and moon..."

Others chimed in one after another.

Seeing Xie Fang speak, the few Imperial Guards hesitated.

After all, the Emperor was now on the verge of death, and in this Longyan, the person with the most weight in their words was naturally this Crown Prince.

To put it bluntly...

If the Emperor were to pass away today, the Crown Prince could ascend the throne immediately!

Wouldn't they also become scapegoats?

With this hesitation, the few imperial physicians pushed past them and rushed inside.

On Zhu Zhen's side.

On the Crown Prince's side.

On Dong Guifei's side...

All had people who managed to slip in.

It was chaos...

Chaos erupted in the Yangxin Hall.

"What are you doing!"

"Prefect Liu, are you trying to kill the Emperor!"

The group of people rushed in, and what they saw was Xie Tianyao in agonizing pain, while Grand Eunuch Zhou and Liu Zheng stood there, watching with indifference.

"Why did you come in?"

Liu Zheng frowned.

He had only just taken the item out...

These people were far too impatient!

That Lord Zhang was already acting like a madman, roaring: "What are you waiting for, what are you waiting for, hurry, hurry, hurry, give the Emperor the medicine, use the medicine!"

"Stop right there!"

Liu Zheng shouted coldly.

Use medicine? With Xie Tianyao in this condition, they still dared to use medicine?

Was the heavy metal in his body not enough already?

The more they used, the shorter his lifespan would become!

The few Imperial Guards only then reacted, rushing in to protect Xie Tianyao.

"What are you doing? Presumptuous! The Emperor has given orders that no matter what happens, no one is allowed to enter. Are you defying the order!"

Grand Eunuch Zhou was also anxious.

However, the Crown Prince, Zhu Zhen, and their faction were all ready to draw their swords.

"Grand Eunuch Zhou, this concerns the state; this matter is of great importance!"

"Even if it means death, we must enter!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

The entire Yangxin Hall was filled with a complex atmosphere.

There was wailing, and there was a standoff.

Xie Tianyao was already in so much pain he was about to faint; how could he care about any of this!

Even if he knew what was happening before him, he had no energy to reprimand them.

"Pain..."

"It hurts! Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

His entire body was twisted.

He was growing weaker and weaker.

"Hurry up!"

"Apply the medicine!"

"Quick!"

The group was about to take action.

Liu Zheng said calmly: "Everyone, I haven't even started yet, what are you rushing for?"

The crowd was furious.

At a time like this, you still haven't started?

"Someone, drag this traitor away and behead him!"

Crown Prince Xie Fang roared.

The others were anxious.

Yet Liu Zheng was not.

He smiled faintly.

Facing everyone's curses, mockery, contempt, and murderous intent.

Under the protection of the Imperial Guards, he slowly walked to Xie Tianyao's side.

The emotions of the others became even more agitated.

Don't let him pass!

He wants to kill the Emperor!

Stop him!

Only the trembling Xie Tianyao looked at Liu Zheng with longing eyes.

That hope...

That desire for life...

Liu Zheng's heart was also very heavy.

Because he knew that once he fed the medicine in his hand, Xie Tianyao would never be able to leave this medicine, just as he could not leave their "Immortal Pill."

But...

Relatively speaking, this was the best Method he could think of...

At least...

He could guarantee that he would be in good condition.

He could guarantee that he could live for a while longer...

He hardened his heart.

Finally, he fed the bottle of liquid in his hand to Xie Tianyao.

"No!"

"Ah!"

"Emperor..."

The others were all letting out shrill roars.

After Liu Zheng finished all of this, he also took a deep breath.

He slowly closed his eyes.

"Beat him to death!"

"Drag him out and behead him!"

"Rebellious traitor!"

"Emperor, sob, sob, sob..."

However, just as these sounds were still continuing.

Suddenly.

Someone felt that something was wrong!

The Emperor?

Why was he no longer crying out in pain?

Him?

Everyone's gaze looked over.

The entire scene.

In an instant.

Fell silent.
