Chapter 1112: Final Volume: The Emperor's Conspiracy [22]
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
On this side, Hongwen and Yu Wenmingxuan stared at Xiangling with surprised and disbelieving eyes, while on the other side, Shangguan Shengmin and Nanny Pan stared at Hongwen and Yu Wenmingxuan with even more incredible eyes.
After a brief silence, Hongwen smiled bitterly, took off the veil on his face, and said: "You stupid girl..."
Hongwen did not continue,
Instead, he turned around and concentrated on helping Zijin stop the bleeding.
Shangguan Shengmin saw that the person who came was really Hongwen, the imperial doctor, and said hurriedly:
"You're here at the right time, imperial physician. Come and see the emperor. The emperor..."
Hongwen and Yu Wenmingxuan turned their heads and stared at Shangguan Shengmin, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Shangguan Shengmin was stunned, then smiled bitterly:
"Why am I so stupid? You are the prince's consort, so how can you be willing to save me?"
"A doctor has the heart of a parent! After saving Miss Zijin, I will go and save the Emperor."
With that said, Hongwen turned around and continued to give Zijin acupuncture to stop the bleeding.
"But the Emperor..."
Shangguan Shengmin was about to say something, but Hongwen interrupted him:
"In the eyes of every doctor, patients are the same.
I will not deliberately flatter the patient just because he is a high-ranking official.
Not to mention that the patient will not be looked down upon because he is a prisoner or a criminal."
After Hongwen helped Zijin stop the bleeding, he turned around and walked towards the emperor.
Yu Wenmingxuan took his hand: "Wen, do you really want to save the emperor?"
Hongwen understood what Yu Wenmingxuan was worried about.
If the emperor is rescued, then they will be the ones who die next.
"Xuan, I know what worries you,
I also know that once the emperor comes back to life,
You and I, including Zijin and our children, will all suffer.
But I am a doctor, and it is my bounden duty to practice medicine and save lives.
I believe you can understand."
With that said, he walked over to the emperor to help him diagnose and treat him.
Mingxuan had no choice but to guard Shangguan Shengmin with his sword.
Hongwen stretched out his hand to detect the emperor's breath,
He opened the emperor's eyelids again and saw that his pupils were dilated.
Then he reached out and touched the aorta in the emperor's neck.
He shook his head, stood up from the ground, and said: "The emperor has passed away!"
As soon as these words came out, Nanny Pan lost her balance and fell to the ground.
It took him a while to recover, and he knelt down beside the emperor and cried bitterly.
