....

When the tip of the sword was only a short distance away from her snow-like neck, a hidden weapon flew from nowhere and hit the tip of the sword.

With a clank, the tip of the sword flicked.

And the internal power contained in this hidden weapon was so fierce that Murong Ci couldn't hold the long sword, and it fell off her hand.

It was an instant intersection between life and death.

Recovering her small life, Concubine Xiao was panting violently.

Her beautiful face was pale and full of horror.

Murong Ci glared angrily at the person who had the courage to stop her from killing Concubine Xiao, and there was only one person who could do it.

'Sure enough, it was him!'

Murong Yu walked forward in a hurry nonchalantly.

"Greetings Prince Regent."

All palace servants and guards knelt down, and the six imperial physicians bowed and bowed in salute, very respectful.

Nowadays, no one in the palace, either in the ruling position or in the opposition parties dared to show disrespect to the regent.

Murong Ci's expression was cold, and she tried her best to suppress the hatred in her chest.

Concubine Xiao looked at the stalwart man, all dazzled.

Murong Yu waved his hand to let everyone get up, and then asked doctor Shen in a deep voice:

"How is his majesty?"

"His Majesty hasn't awakened yet."

The doctor Shen was in a cold sweat, wiping away the cold sweat with his sleeve in a panic.

"This is the 'God Hands' Doctor Xue."

Murong Yu politely introduced the old man behind him.

"The famous 'God Hands' Doctor Xue..."

Murong Ci was pleasantly surprised.

This old man was the genius doctor Xue who had never seen the end of his patients?

There are many rumors about him:

- There are no people who cannot be saved by Dr. Xue, only people he doesn't want to save.

- If he doesn't want to heal someone, even if he is killed, that someone will not be saved.

- He only treats three people each year, and they are all critically ill patients.

"Doctor Xue, you must save the Emperor Father."

A glimmer of hope ignited in her heart.

"You just wait outside, this old man will go in."

Doctor Xue entered the hall slowly.

....

Concubine Xiao had been looking at Murong Yu with an obsessive gaze, so soft as to drip water.

Murong Ci saw it, and it seemed that the rumors were correct. Murong Yu and Concubine Xiao really had an affair.

If not, he would not save her life.

"Prince Regent, the Crown Prince wants to kill this consort."

Concubine Xiao weakly said aggrievedly.

Murong Ci had goose bumps all over her body because of the Concubine's horribly charming voice.

Murong Ci rolled her eyes silently,

'Hey, my father is not dead yet, are you already seducing other men...?'

"His Royal Highness, why did you try to kill Concubine Xiao?"

Murong Yu asked indifferently.

"The Emperor Father vomited blood and fell into a coma, because of her and Dao Feng Tianfeng."

She said briefly what happened before the emperor was in a coma.

"If it were to be revealed to the court, shouldn't their crimes be regarded as serious and worthy of death?"

"Prince, how could this consort murder His Majesty?

His Majesty is this consort's husband!

This consort has been wronged."

Concubine Xiao said tenderly, posing as an innocent and pitiful victim,

"His Majesty used to take elixirs like this, but nothing has ever happened before.

Today, His Majesty vomited blood and fell into a coma.

I don't know why. This consort is worried to death."

"His Royal Highness, this matter should have nothing to do with Concubine Xiao."

Murong Yu said coldly.

Murong Ci was so angry that she felt like throwing up, but she was helpless.

She wanted to save the life of a person dear to her, but still couldn't help them in any way.

At this time, the guards brought Tianfeng Dao Chang over.

Seeing Concubine Xiao, Tianfeng Dao's eyes rolled and begged:

"My dear concubine, please save this servant.

How could this servant murder His Majesty?

This servant is loyal to His Majesty and is dedicated to refining the best elixirs for His Majesty..."

"The elixir you made for His Majesty made him vomit blood and go into a coma, you still dare to quibble?"

Concubine Xiao sternly reprimanded him in order to show that she did not collude with him,

"What have you added to the elixir?"

"Nothing is added, it's the same as usual!!"

He knew that the disaster was imminent, and knew that she would not care about a mere servant's life or death.

He knelt and begged for mercy.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this servant begs him!

Please spare this servant's life.

Please, this servant really did not try murdering His Majesty...!!"

He naturally knew that His Majesty would vomit blood and go into a coma sooner or later, because he hollowed out his body step by step.

Originally, he planned to leave the palace yesterday.

He earned enough gold anyway, but he wanted to give him the elixir for the last time today.

He didn't expect something to happened today, and he couldn't even run.

Concubine Xiao was gloomy and ignored.
