Chapter 23 Zhao Ziheng’s Guilt (2)
Amid the noise and cheers.
Zhao Ziheng led the civil and military officials and the army guarding the emperor straight to the palace.
The road was filled with people, celebratory flowers were flying in the sky, bright red ribbons were fluttering in the wind, and the people were shouting in unison to welcome Zhao Ziheng.
However, amid the cheers, a sharp arrow flew towards Zhao Ziheng who was waving to the crowd. Fortunately, the horse turned its head slightly, and the arrow pierced the outside of Zhao Ziheng's right arm that was holding the reins...
"ah--"
"Protect the emperor——"
"Protect the emperor——"
The crowd was in panic.
The guards, led by Zhao Ziyin, hurriedly helped Zhao Ziheng down from his horse. The soldiers pulled a layer of red gauze over the crowd to prevent the assassin from finding his target. In addition, the guards began to move out to find the assassin...
"Your Majesty, are you okay?"
"Oh, it's okay—"
Zhao Ziheng clutched his injured arm tightly, blood gushing out of the wound...
"Send the emperor back to the palace immediately—"
"yes--"
Under Zhao Shu's instructions, Zhao Ziyin and others sent Zhao Ziheng away under the escort of the guards...
"…You still won't give up?"
Looking at Zhao Ziheng leaving, Zhao Shu looked serious.
As soon as Zhao Ziheng and his group returned to the palace, they caused a publicity storm.
It turned out that the arrow that hit Zhao Ziheng was highly poisonous. Fortunately, the person responsible for detoxification was Wang Ye. Fortunately, the detoxification was done in time to avoid an irreversible situation. The only comforting thing was that Zhao Ziheng's life was not in danger. However, he was assassinated not only on the way back to the palace, but also on his way back to the royal city. This made the court officials very .
As for the culprit who murdered Zhao Ziheng, Zhao Ziheng, Zhao Shu and others had already made up their minds, but since it concerned the reputation of the royal family, no one dared to speak out.
On the first day back in the palace, Zhao Ziheng was in a panic because of the assassination. It was not until the dead of night that he could avoid the audience of the ministers and receive Wang Ye's meticulous treatment alone in the palace...
"Your Majesty, the Crown Princess requests an audience outside the palace—"
A eunuch whispered to Zhao Ziheng outside the bedroom.
“…Let her in!”
"twitter!"
Zhao Ziheng's wound had just been bandaged, and there were many new and old scars on his half-naked body. The most of them were the arrow wounds he blocked for Yin Yin in the Valley of Gray. There were more than ten scars left by him...
"Sorry to bother you, brother Wang..."
"You are too polite. It is just a small favor. However, I did not expect that the emperor's right arm would be injured again not long after it healed. To be honest, the arm was saved this time purely because of the timely detoxification. If it had been delayed for a little longer, I am afraid that even if your life could be saved, your arm would be useless. So I would like to remind you in advance not to get injured again when the wound is not healed, otherwise even a god may not be able to save it—"
"I understand. Thank you for your reminder, brother."
"However, there are countless top-grade healing herbs in the palace. I believe your wound will heal quickly. I am afraid I am worrying too much."
"Even if there are many special medicines in the palace, I still have to listen to my brother's words--"
It is said that the reason why Zhao Ziheng was able to save his life was entirely due to Wang Ye's efforts. He fell off the cliff that day and was soon returned to the shore of the island by the waves. Fortunately, he met Wang Ye and Xiuying who had returned from outside in time. Thanks to Wang Ye's careful treatment, he was able to save his life. In order to save Zhao Ziheng's life under such circumstances, Wang Ye naturally spent a lot of effort. Of course, Wang Ye's medical skills were the main thing. If it weren't for his extraordinary medical skills, I'm afraid the dying man would be beyond help.
After Zhao Ziheng recovered from his injury, the first thing he did was to inform Zhao Shu, who was far away at the border, that he was still alive, because he knew that if he wanted to compete with Zhou Yan for his lofty status and power, he would have to rely on his former status and power. In order to be able to take Yinyin back as soon as possible, he went directly to Zhou Yan after reuniting with Zhao Shu's soldiers. The reason why he had not taken any action was because he found that Yinyin was constantly in trouble. In order to ensure that Yinyin would be safe in the future, Zhao Ziheng endured the pain of missing her and let Yinyin stay with Zhou Yan, while he secretly protected Yinyin and investigated the mastermind behind her. Wang Ye also assisted and secretly saved Yinyin many times. Because Wang Ye was one of the few people who knew about the situation between him and Yinyin, Zhao Ziheng also trusted Wang Ye very much...
"Your Majesty, the Queen is here——"
As the eunuch finished speaking, the door to the bedroom was pushed open and Lin Wei came in...
"Your Majesty, may your Majesty live forever..."
First of all, the etiquette of an audience with the emperor is unavoidable, not to mention that Lin Wei was born in a family of a grand scholar?
"Didn't I tell you long ago that Wei'er doesn't need to be polite in front of me? Hurry up and stand up—"
"Weier, thank God for His grace!"
After Lin Wei finished her greeting, she raised her head slightly and looked at Zhao Ziheng, whom she still missed. Zhao Ziheng had not seen for several months. Before Lin Wei came in, he had already put on his pajamas. Looking at the lover she hadn't seen for a long time, Lin Wei's eyes were filled with endless joy and vicissitudes...
"Let me introduce you, my brother. This is Lin Wei, the daughter of Grand Secretary Lin, the crown prince, whom I mentioned to you before. This is Doctor Wang Ye, the famous doctor who has helped me many times—"
"I, Wang Ye, the commoner, have met the Majesty—"
"Doctor Wang, there is no need to be so polite. I would like to thank you for saving the emperor several times. I will definitely thank you again someday."
"Your Majesty, you are too kind. It is a blessing for me to be able to save the emperor who is above all the people. How dare I ask for a thank you?"
"Okay, my brother, I agree with what Wei'er said. I will thank you someday. Thank you for your hard work today. I want to talk to Wei'er alone. Can you please take a rest first?"
In fact, the implication was that Wang Ye should resign.
"Yes, then I will not allow the emperor and the queen to reunite any longer. I will take my leave first--"
"Um!"
"My lady, please forgive me for leaving first..."
"Doctor Wang, please take care—"
After performing the formalities of asking to leave, Wang Ye walked straight towards the door until he left...
After Wang Ye left, Zhao Ziheng and Lin Wei were the only ones left in the huge palace.
After watching Wang Ye leave, Lin Wei couldn't dare to look Zhao Ziheng in the eye anymore. The atmosphere became a little awkward. In fact, she had wanted to meet Zhao Ziheng for a long time, but the accident left her with no chance.
"Weier, come here, don't just stand there—"
Finally, she could see Zhao Ziheng again. They were alone together again. Lin Wei was very excited. She nodded shyly at Zhao Ziheng and walked towards him who was lying on the dragon bed...
When she was about three feet away from the bed, Lin Wei stopped and lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Zhao Ziheng.
