Chapter 140 Luo Zheng and Feng Xinyi
"This slave...this slave will never...never tell a lie..."
The maid's voice was trembling, but she was unwilling to change her words.
Imperial Concubine Jiang pinched her palms tightly, looked coldly at the trembling palace maid lying on the ground, and finally said sarcastically: "Well, since you are determined to seek your own death, why should I save you? Drag you away."
The last sentence was naturally said to the other palace people.
Unexpectedly, when two palace servants grabbed the maid's arms and were about to drag her out, she suddenly shouted, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Do you believe in this servant?
What this servant said is true! Luo Zheng didn't go to find the miracle doctor at all, he went to kill him!
He didn't want the imperial concubine to give birth to a prince, because only in this way would the imperial concubine always rely on him!
He won’t let the miracle doctor enter the capital alive! Your Majesty, you must be careful, wuwuwuwu——”
After she struggled and shouted frantically, she was finally exhausted and her mouth was blocked tightly.
Emperor Taihe was furious: "Hurry up and drag this slave out and beat her to death!"
The palace maid's face was as pale as paper, but the tension in her heart suddenly relaxed: she could finally be free.
"Wait!"
Imperial Concubine Jiang suddenly spoke up, then turned to Emperor Taihe and said, "Your Majesty, please spare this lowly servant's life for now.
I want to see if it is because I have misjudged people and mistakenly taken a jackal for a good dog.
Or is there someone hiding behind the scenes and deliberately plotting, using this lowly maid to frame and murder Luo Zheng!"
She looked into Emperor Taihe's eyes and said, "If Luo Zheng returns to the capital with the miracle doctor, I hope to hand this lowly servant over to Luo Zheng for his disposal."
Emperor Taihe frowned and asked, "What do you plan to do if he fails to bring the miracle doctor back to the capital?"
Imperial Concubine Jiang laughed at herself, "If he can't bring back the miracle doctor, it means he's incompetent. Even if I find out he has no ulterior motives, I won't use him again."
But if it is discovered that he colluded with spies from the enemy country and deliberately killed the genius doctor in order to prevent me from having an offspring.
I will naturally peel off his skin, cut out his heart and liver, and see what he is really like!"
"Okay, I promise you, I will do as my beloved concubine says."
Emperor Taihe said in a deep voice, then looked at the palace maid coldly and ordered, "Drag her away, don't let her die."
The palace maid trembled like a sieve. She wanted to say something, but her mouth was blocked tightly. She could only be dragged out in despair and helplessness.
When she was dragged out, she couldn't help but look at Emperor Taihe and Concubine Jiang.
The two men were dressed in gorgeous clothes. The man was handsome and pale, with a gloomy look in his eyes. The woman was charming and beautiful, nestled in the emperor's arms, a smile on her lips, but her eyes were colder than a knife.
The two men's gazes seemed to torture her to death, and the palace maid was so frightened that she trembled all over and even peed herself out of fear.
When she was dragged back to the prison, had her hands and feet tied, was gagged and thrown into the cell, she was completely terrified.
Screams could still be heard from all around, and fear overwhelmed her like a tide.
The palace maid burst into tears. The smiling face in her mind and the affectionate peach blossom eyes seemed to be gradually becoming blurred.
……
In a forest somewhere, a group of people were struggling to move forward.
One of them looked behind him from time to time, always on guard.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, a short figure suddenly stumbled and was quickly pulled up by the people next to him.
The woman asked the child with concern: "How are you? Does it hurt? Did you get hurt?"
The child had tears in his eyes, but he shook his head: "Don't worry, Mom, I'm fine."
At this time, the person walking at the back suddenly said, "Those people didn't catch up with us. We must have successfully shaken them off. Let's take a break first, otherwise the child will be too young to endure it."
The others looked behind them nervously and listened carefully to the movements around them.
This is a dense forest, surrounded by the chirping of insects and croaking of frogs, and no other movement.
The group then relaxed their guard and found a place to sit down.
They didn't dare to light a fire, but took out a small tinder and checked the child's legs by the faint light.
The woman discovered that the child not only had a bruise on his knee, but also had many small cuts on his white and tender calves.
The child held back his tears, but tears welled up in his eyes.
This made the woman feel even more distressed, but she couldn't even say a word of comfort. In such an environment, any comfort seemed pale and powerless.
I could only quickly treat the child's wound, and then took out a waist bag that repelled mosquitoes, snakes and insects and tied it around the child's leg.
The child's soft little hand gently held her and whispered to comfort her: "Mom, I'm really fine, it doesn't hurt at all."
The woman couldn't help but hold the child in her arms, feeling her thin little body, and tears fell like rain.
The child’s father was extremely afraid of pain back then. How could she not feel pain when she was so young?
I just didn't say it because I was afraid that she would feel sad.
The woman secretly wiped away the tears from her eyes.
At this time, another child came over and handed her a bamboo tube: "Mom, have some water."
The woman looked into his concerned eyes, as if she saw another person.
It’s a pity that the young man with picturesque features, elegant demeanor, like the breeze and bright moon, who was afraid of pain but always liked to run to the mountains to pick wild fruits, will never appear again.
She smiled at her son and said, "I'm not thirsty. You and your sister can drink."
Just as he finished speaking, the man on guard beside him suddenly changed his expression and put his ear to the ground.
Then he said in panic: "Oh no! Someone is coming! We have to leave immediately!"
Just as he finished speaking, a sharp arrow suddenly shot out from the woods and stuck diagonally in the grass beside him, the arrow feathers still shaking slightly.
This was obviously a warning to them that if they dared to make any unusual movements, the next arrow would pierce them!
Everyone's face changed drastically, and they all looked warily in the direction where the arrow came from.
The woman said dissatisfiedly, "Since you are seeking medical treatment, don't you feel ashamed of your behavior?"
Her voice changed and she sounded like an old woman.
She also disguised her face into an old woman with gray hair.
The young boy nervously wanted to stand in front of her, but she pulled him behind him. He could only stare at the direction of the forest, his eyes full of hatred and dissatisfaction.
Suddenly, a chuckle was heard from the forest: "We are also forced to do so. We are worried that the Divine Doctor will be deceived by the villains. We don't want to offend the Divine Doctor. Please don't blame us.
As long as the divine doctor is willing to accompany us to the capital to treat our master, we will certainly treat him with courtesy and prepare the best food, clothing, carriages, and medicinal materials for him."
Feng Xinyi was shocked when she heard that strange yet familiar voice!
She widened her eyes in disbelief, staring in the direction where the sound came from.
Looking at the man in black slowly walking out of the woods, her eyes instantly turned blood red!
Luo Zheng looked at the people opposite him with a complicated expression. He was nervous but couldn't help but look forward to it.
Could this medicine lady be his Xinyi?
He couldn't help but walk towards the other person, and the people behind him hurriedly followed.
Seeing that the distance between the two sides was getting closer, the man guarding Feng Xinyi suddenly raised his hand and shot a sleeve arrow at Luo Zheng!
