Lianxiang and Hongxiu saw that their husband was dying but could not help him at all, so they knelt down in front of him and cried sadly.
Li Qing was crying and was upset, "Stop crying, am I not dead yet?"
If you want me to live a little longer, just be quiet and don't disturb me."
The two women quickly covered their mouths, tears falling down like broken pearls.
Seeing their appearance, Li Qing was irritated and moved at the same time, "Don't cry, I won't die for a while, you can go back to the house and rest."
Hongxiu wiped away her tears and said, "Sir, my maid will help you go back to your room and lie down. It's cold outside."
"No, I can't move now." Li Qing tapped his arm and thigh a few times to slow down the blood flow, "Don't make any noise, stay quiet."
Then, I adjusted my breathing, closed my eyes and began to practice Qi.
…
Fengtian Temple.
Zhu Yuanzhang, wearing a yellow dragon robe, entered the main hall.
The officials immediately saluted and shouted long live.
"Your Majesty, please come back." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and slowly sat down, "If you have something urgent, please bring it up quickly. If not, leave it for further reading."
Empress Ma's health was getting worse day by day. Although Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to slack off in government affairs, he also wanted to spend more time with her.
The ministers looked at each other in shock, took out the folds from their sleeves, and presented them with both hands.
Xiao Guizi walked down the jade steps and put the books one by one into the small box.
At this time, General Zhandian came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Liu Qiang, from a thousand households in splendid robes, says he has urgent matters and wants to see the Emperor."
Zhu Yuanzhang was about to shout to retreat. When he heard this, he raised his buttocks and sat down again, "Let him come in!"
"Ta-ta-ta..."
Liu Qiang stepped up to the main hall and said, "Long live my emperor!"
Before Zhu Yuanzhang could say he was safe, Liu Qiang shouted anxiously, "Your Majesty, something big has happened. The governor, Mr. Li, was assassinated by gangsters at night. He was seriously injured and had a poison attack. He is in critical condition."
"What?"
Zhu Yuanzhang stood up suddenly and said angrily: "Who did it?"
"Wei Chen has ordered people to investigate." Liu Qiang said urgently, "Your Majesty, the most important thing now is to ask the imperial doctor to save Mr. Li quickly. If it's too late..."
Zhu Yuanzhang woke up with a start, "Yes, yes, yes, Xiao Guizi, go to the Taiyuan Hospital quickly, call the imperial doctor to Li Qing's house, and ask them to bring detoxifying herbs."
"Yes, I obey your order."
Xiao Guizi also knew the seriousness of the problem and did not dare to delay at all. She did not take the usual small steps and ran out with her legs.
In the main hall, all the officials looked angry, admonishing Zhu Yuanzhang to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Zhu Yuanzhang was upset by their quarrel and said, "Stop making such a bloody noise, we will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly!"
He glanced at everyone coldly and snorted: "Stop the damn cats crying and mice pretending to be compassionate. Li Qing is dead and it's too late for you to be happy?
Don't let us catch who it is, or we'll skin him."
After that, he walked away.
Zhu Yuanzhang trotted all the way to Qianqing Palace, pushed aside the princes, and came to Queen Ma's bed, "Sister, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, my concubine."
Empress Ma smiled weakly, "Why isn't Li Qing here today?"
"He...he has some government affairs." Zhu Yuanzhang comforted him, "You will drink the medicine later. You can go to bed first. There will be no acupuncture today."
"Father, what is more important than the mother's body?" Zhu Zi asked.
"Yes, my father, my mother's body is the most important!"
Several vassal princes also looked puzzled, but they all chose to remain silent. They, the princes of the vassal, did not dare to speak out about government affairs.
Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and shouted, "Get out of here, don't disturb your mother's rest."
The princes shrank their necks and said, "Yes, Father."
"Did something happen to Li Qing?" Queen Ma asked.
"No, he is fine." Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled and said, "We have arranged an errand for him. He has gone on an errand, but he will be back in three or two days. Sister, you don't have to worry."
Queen Ma sighed, "Don't lie to me, Chongba, you always smile like this every time you lie to me. Was he killed?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned and nodded silently, "Nothing can fool you. He was assassinated last night."
"Sister, don't get excited." Zhu Yuanzhang said quickly, "Not yet, he is just injured. We have sent an imperial doctor to save him."
Queen Ma's expression softened slightly, "We must rescue him. He is only twenty years old..."
"Sister, don't worry about this. Take good care of yourself and we will do our best to save him."
Zhu Yuanzhang patted her hand. When he saw the palace maid coming in with medicine, he reached out and took it, "Sister, drink the medicine first."
Queen Ma took the medicine bowl from his hand and said, "I'll drink it myself. You go and see if Li Qing is seriously injured."
"Okay then!" Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and said, "rest after drinking the medicine. Don't worry about that guy Li Qing. He is not like a short-lived ghost. We can still judge people very accurately."
~
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang walked out of the palace, he bumped into Zhu Biao.
"Father, something bad has happened. Li Qing..."
"We already know that the imperial doctor has passed away." Zhu Yuanzhang said murderously, "This must have been done by the minister of the court. Damn it, don't let us catch who it is."
Zhu Biao nodded slowly, "Father, there are too many people who hate him. You...should not put him on the opposite side of the ministers."
"Are you blaming us?"
"I don't dare."
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go and see that kid first."
"good."
…
Li's courtyard.
Fifteen dead corpses lay quietly, stained with bright red blood, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.
Li Qing sat at the door with his eyes closed tightly and his left hand turned purple.
"Don't talk loudly." Li Yu guarded the door. Seeing several imperial doctors approaching, he quickly stepped forward and warned, "Keep quiet and don't make any noise."
The doctors nodded.
Li Yu then gently opened the door and led the imperial doctor into the hospital, "Everyone looked at their feet."
Although the imperial doctors knew that the envoy Jinyi Zhenfu had been assassinated, they did not expect that the scene would be so bloody. Everyone's calves felt weak and their stomachs were churning.
At the same time, I was also secretly frightened, this governor was so awesome!
One person killed fifteen people, and that was even when the other party had a crossbow.
The imperial doctor stepped forward and checked his pulse. His brows were deeply furrowed as usual. After a long time, he shook his head and walked aside.
Immediately, another doctor took over.
Li Yu stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "How is my master?"
The imperial doctor stroked his beard and said, "The governor is still alive, but... the poisoning is too deep, and there is nothing I can do for you."
"you……"
Li Yu wanted to have a seizure, but was afraid of disturbing his parents.
After all, Lianxiang made it clear that Li Qing must not be disturbed in the slightest, otherwise he would not leave a yard of corpses here.
At this time, a guard in royal robes came in quietly and whispered to Li Yu, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is here."
Li Yu nodded and walked out quickly.
After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, surrounded by the imperial guards, entered the courtyard.
Lao Zhu was also shocked when he saw corpses in a yard.
It wasn't that he was shocked by the bloody scenes in front of him. When he conquered the world, he had never seen any bloody scenes. During the decisive battle with Chen Youliang, the water in Poyang Lake was dyed red. In comparison, it was just childish now.
What shocked him was Li Qing's force value, it was simply... so powerful.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked himself that his skills were not bad, and his enemies would die in his hands not only fifteen, but even one hundred and fifty.
But if he was attacked by someone at night, and the opponent had a poisoned crossbow, he would never be able to do what Li Qing did. Not to mention him, even the Ming Dynasty's top general, Xu Da, who was still young, couldn't do it.
The only ones who could be so tough were the late Chang Yuchun and Zhang Dingbian.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but love Li Qing even more, and said to himself: "You kid, don't really die, we still need to reuse you."
He walked up to several imperial doctors, interrupted their salutes, and said softly, "How is Li Qing's injury?"
Several imperial doctors looked ashamed, cupped their hands and said, "I am incompetent."
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became angry. He is incompetent at this and incompetent at that. Nothing can be cured. What use do you have?
Seeing that he was about to get angry, Li Yu quickly reminded in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Mr. Li is in danger and cannot be disturbed!"
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at the imperial doctor fiercely, and slowly stepped forward to observe Li Qing's injury. Zhu Biao also followed closely to observe.
Not to mention Li Qing's talent, he was the only one who could cure Empress Ma's illness, and the father and son did not want anything to happen to him.
I saw that Li Qing's left hand was purple with a hint of black, his face was even pale, and his lips were turning black, which was obviously a sign that the poison had penetrated into his bones and that he had stepped into the gate of hell with one foot.
The father and son looked at each other with bitterness on their faces.
But at this moment, Li Qing, who was about to embark on the road to hell, suddenly spoke.
The two men were caught off guard and squatted on the ground, looking horrified.
