Chapter 438: Life and death status

Chapter 438 Life and death status

Seeing Pei Yi's swearing, the old emperor couldn't help but feel a little more at ease, and said in a deep voice, "Then do as you say."

Pei Yi responded with a bow and salute, then changed the subject and said, "Since that's the case, Your Majesty, please turn away others, so that no one can disturb you when I give acupuncture."

There is nothing wrong with this condition. The old emperor readily agreed, and immediately ordered everyone to retreat.

Imperial Physician Chen and a group of inner guards respectfully took orders, and retreated to the outer hall to guard.

Seeing this situation, Huo Yuan was very confused, and hurriedly asked Chen Taiyi in a low voice, "Why did you all come out?"

Physician Chen lowered his voice, and succinctly explained the situation in the inner hall just now.

After hearing this, Huo Yuan couldn't help feeling tense.

He was secretly worried about Pei Yi, but on the surface he said calmly and calmly: "Since Mr. Pei has such a high opinion, he will definitely be able to save the father. We are here to wait for the good news."

Imperial Physician Chen glanced at Huo Yuan with a complex expression, and complained secretly in his heart: The Third Highness has too much confidence in the Third Young Master Pei, right? As far as His Majesty's current situation is concerned, he is not sure about a doctor's judgment. Can Mr. Pei, a person who has never shown his medical skills, handle it?

Not only Imperial Physician Chen is complaining silently, but other inner guards are also secretly complaining: Why does His Highness the Third Highness have such confidence in Mr. Pei? Mr. Pei is really like a magic stick, as soon as he made a move, he frightened Wu Tianshi to the crap. It doesn't look like his medical skills are reliable.

Actually, Huo Yuan didn't have much confidence in Pei Yi's medical skills. After all, Pei Yi was a monk halfway through, and she herself once said that she was not good at learning.

But now that there are outsiders present, Huo Yuan naturally wants to stand firmly on his wife's side—it is necessary to flatter her daughter-in-law unconditionally.

Time passed bit by bit, and there was no movement in the inner hall.

Huo Yuan, who was guarding the outer hall, was worried.

He was afraid that something was wrong with Pei Yi, but he didn't show it at all.

The inner guards couldn't help whispering.

"Can Master Pei really cure His Majesty?"

"Who knows? I haven't heard that Mr. Pei knows medicine before."

"Master Pei still dares to do things that even Imperial Physician Chen is not sure about. Hey, young and vigorous..."

…

After some low-pitched discussion, a group of inner guards quickly returned to silence—after all, the emperor was still lying inside, and if they continued to gossip, it would be dereliction of duty and disrespect in front of the palace.

Imperial physician Chen silently sat on the chair waiting for the result. Seeing that there was no news for a long time, he couldn't help stretching his neck and looking towards the inner hall, thinking to himself: Mr. Pei probably can't cure His Majesty, the young man boasted about the consequences of Haikou Worrying...

Huo Yuan actually panicked a lot.

However, he glanced at the Imperial Physician Chen beside him, and forced a calm look to say: "Father's situation is very difficult, and Mr. Pei will definitely spend a lot of time on his treatment. Let's wait a little longer, and we will definitely get better results." information."

Physician Chen said in his heart: I don't believe it.

All the internal guards also complained silently in their hearts: I don't believe it.

At this moment, the inner hall.

After some acupuncture, some beads of sweat ooze from Pei Yi's forehead——Acupuncture seems to be effortless, but in fact it takes a lot of effort.

I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but the old emperor felt that his head was much clearer, unlike before, as if the blood was stuck together and couldn't flow.

"Your Majesty has been deeply poisoned, and one injection can only remove part of the toxin." Pei Yi sterilized the silver needles one by one and put them back into the skin bag. "Based on the current situation, it will take three more injections to completely remove them."

The old emperor slowly sat up while supporting the bed.

He turned his neck, feeling an indescribably relaxed body, and his mood was no longer as irritable as before.

However, this kind of positive physical feedback is not enough for him to trust this little **** of the Pei family who is like a magic stick.

The old emperor ordered in a loud voice: "Chen Imperial Physician, come in."

Physician Chen who was guarding the outer hall heard the call, immediately got up from his seat, and trotted all the way into the inner hall.

The old emperor leaned on a big pillow and said cautiously: "Come here and show me."

Hearing this, Imperial Physician Chen couldn't help but sighed inwardly, and said to himself: Sure enough, he was expected - Mr. Pei is not a doctor at all, he can't cure His Majesty at all, and His Majesty still wants him to come for diagnosis and treatment.

Physician Chen was thinking so, while reaching out to feel the pulse of the old emperor.

Soon, Imperial Physician Chen showed surprise.

He seemed to be having a hard time believing the result of his diagnosis. He raised his hand and put it on the old emperor's wrist again to make a new diagnosis.

Seeing that he was so surprised and abnormal, the old emperor couldn't help feeling hopeful, and asked with a little hope: "How is my health now?"

Imperial Physician Chen withdrew his hands, bowed his hands and saluted, "Your Majesty's poisoning symptoms have been alleviated a lot, and the Qi and blood are flowing smoothly. It's great."

The old emperor was really happy, but also very surprised. He turned his head to look at Pei Yi, and joked with a smile: "You really have some skills, kid."

Princess Chen cherished his talents, and his face was filled with sincerity, and he couldn't help but follow the old emperor's praise: "Master Pei's medical skills are superb, and this old man can't help himself."

Pei Yi was slightly taken aback, but it was her villainous heart.

She thought that if she showed herself in this way, Imperial Physician Chen would definitely feel that her authority was challenged and would be dissatisfied.

Never thought that Doctor Chen, who is so broad-minded and tolerant, an old authority in the hospital, would praise such a junior like her so humbly.

The more the situation is praised by others, the more vigilant Pei Yi becomes.

People can't drift away, and accidents are easy to happen when they drift away.

She pursed her lips and smiled, humbly replied: "Thank you, thank you."

After speaking, Pei Yi looked at the old emperor, hesitant to speak.

The old emperor was so shrewd, when even he understood that Pei Jiasanlang wanted to talk to him alone, so he opened his mouth and said to Imperial Physician Chen: "Chen Qing, step down."

Imperial Physician Chen bowed respectfully, walked out of the inner hall quickly, and reached the outer hall.

Huo Yuan was already feeling uneasy in his heart, but he kept trying to keep calm on his face, until he saw Imperial Physician Chen coming out of the inner hall, he hurriedly asked: "Physician Chen, how is my father's condition now?"

Imperial Physician Chen's face was full of joy, and he said joyfully: "Your Majesty is in a good condition now. With Mr. Pei taking care of him, His Majesty's recovery will be just around the corner."

Huo Yuan was overjoyed, but after the joy, he felt unreal. He couldn't help asking: "Master Pei really cured the father?"

Doctor Chen looked at the third prince with distaste on his face, and said seriously, "Don't your Highness still know Mr. Pei's medical skills? If even Mr. Pei says it can't be cured, then I will still treat you in the next week." Who dares to say that it can be cured?"

These words raised Pei Yi too high.

Not only Huo Yuan was dumbfounded, but even the inner guards were stunned.

Commander Sun asked in disbelief: "Physician Chen, Master Pei's medical skills are really so good?"

With a heart to protect young talents, Imperial Physician Chen blew rainbow farts very seriously: "It's not an old man boasting, Mr. Pei's medical skills are definitely the best in the world. There are always doctors in the world who like to boast about 'miracle doctors', But most of the names are not true. But Mr. Pei definitely deserves the word 'miracle doctor'."

All the inner guards looked at each other in blank dismay, their eyes widened and their mouths couldn't close together. The shock in their hearts was beyond words.

With the endorsement of Imperial Physician Chen, they will not continue to doubt Pei Yi's medical skills. They are just curious about how Pei Yi has such good medical skills? Why was there no sign before?

"Master Pei is hiding his clumsiness." Someone speculated.

"It must be so!"

The inner guards started talking in low voices.

"Lord Pei is too modest, even if he has a whole body of ability, he never shows it off. This time, he saw His Majesty was in trouble, so he had no choice but to expose his true ability."

"It's rare to have talent without being arrogant!"

"Master Pei is still Tanhualang, and his medical skills are so superb, it's amazing..."

The internal guards couldn't help but feel good about Pei Yi.

Huo Yuan sat on the sidelines and listened silently to everyone's discussion, already in a daze.

He felt cheated.

Before, Fanyin clearly told him that her medical skills were mediocre, and she could only practice with Qisha, and she was not sure if she could cure Qisha.

But looking at Sanskrit's treatment of her father now, she is not sure about her own medical skills, she is obviously very confident, okay?

But after thinking about it, Sanskrit had deliberately concealed the fact that he had excellent medical skills, and Sanskrit must have had his own considerations in it.

As a Sanskrit man, I need to be more considerate, how can I complain?

Huo Yuan suddenly felt comfortable in his heart, and also felt a strong sense of pride.

Commander Sun glanced at Huo Yuan's proud appearance, and couldn't help but whispered in his heart: What is the third prince so proud of? It's as if he is the one with the best medical skills.

Some inner guards were quick-witted and teased gossip in a low voice: "Lord Pei and His Highness the Third Highness obviously have a very different relationship. Let's praise Lord Pei, can the Third Highness be unhappy?"

Everyone suddenly realized.

Isn’t that what it is!

Master Pei even threatened his life to protect the third prince tonight. This kind of friendship is obviously extraordinary.

Thinking about it this way, the inner guards have a better impression of Pei Yi—this kind of kind, righteous, courageous and resourceful person is really admirable.

In the inner sanctum.

Pei Yi heard the system ding ding ding non-stop prompting: "The host has effectively improved its own reputation and gained 50 points!"

"The host's word-of-mouth has improved again, earning 60 points!"

"Word-of-mouth has soared again, and I got 40 points!"

"The reputation of the host has been improved in a small area, and an additional 80 bonus points will be obtained!"

"The host currently has a total of 1134 points!"

Pei Yi didn't expect it, she was a little dazed.

The points came unexpectedly, it was like a dream.

But she soon came to her senses, this is not the time for joy and pride, and the most difficult thing has not yet been resolved.

Pei Yi's mind turned quickly, and she tried to excuse Huo Yuan for herself.

The old emperor is in a good mood now, and he took the initiative to joke: "Pei Sanlang, you have made great achievements in diagnosis and treatment, what reward do you want?"

Pei Yi stood respectfully, cupped her hands and said, "It is the duty of a humble minister to share the worries of the king, and a humble minister dare not ask for rewards."

The old emperor was pleased, he smiled with satisfaction, and did not answer.

Pei Yi took a deep breath to build up her emotions, then put on a very serious expression, and said in a deep voice: "When I was giving acupuncture to His Majesty just now, I kept thinking that Your Majesty is an extremely wise king, so he should not take pills That's right. Who actually deceived His Majesty, tricked His Majesty into taking such poisonous substances."

The old emperor's face darkened.

He was worried about his health just now, and didn't think much about many things.

Hearing what Pei Yi said at this time, he naturally thought of these questions all at once.

Not only did I think about it, but I also thought about it very quickly and deeply.

These days, besides Gu Changze, who else can keep blowing wind by his side and it is effective?

If it wasn't for Gu Changze blowing pillow wind on him all day long, how could he be tempted to take the pill?

Even Tianshi Wu was recommended by Gu Changze!

The old emperor became angry when he thought of this.

But he knew that his current body couldn't stand the anger and grief, so he could only clench his fists to forcefully suppress his emotions.

Although Pei Yi lowered her head to show respect, her eyes secretly watched the old emperor's reaction from time to time.

Seeing the old emperor's reticence, she knew that what she said had an effect.

Pei Yi had the bottom line in her heart, and continued to say: "It is not the most terrible thing that the pill is poisonous and hurts the body. The most terrible thing is that the pill will make His Majesty become irritable and irritable, which in turn will affect His Majesty's decision."

The old emperor's complexion changed slightly, and his already clenched fists were further squeezed slightly.

Pei Yi spared no effort to pat the rainbow fart: "Your Majesty is the founding king of our Great Zhou Dynasty. He has been a soldier for half his life, wise and powerful."

"My father told me before that there are three people he admires the most in his life - the first is His Majesty, because His Majesty can always make the most correct decision at every critical moment."

This is of course false.

Her father never mentioned the old emperor in front of her, even if he mentioned the Huo family, he was full of disdain.

However, these are not important, as long as it can make the old emperor happy.

Sure enough, when the old emperor heard that her father Pei Shu had praised him, his handsome old face immediately showed a visible joy.

Pei Yi continued to slap the rainbow fart loudly: "I believe that with His Majesty's wisdom, he will definitely not convict people without strict verification - let alone issue an order to kill a prince easily. But Dan The medicine confuses people's mind, makes His Majesty irritable, and then makes His Majesty make decisions that he would never make normally."

The old emperor nodded slightly, feeling that Pei Yi's analysis was sound, but when he heard the end, he suddenly realized...

"Are you talking about the third child?" The old emperor said with a smile.

Pei Yi cast a sneaky glance at the old emperor—the lord of the world had a relaxed expression and a relaxed tone, and it seemed that he had no intention of getting angry.

Pei Yi knew that there was something to be done, so she continued: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and what I think of this humble minister will naturally not escape His Majesty's eyes."

"This minister is indeed complaining for His Highness the Third Highness."

"Tonight, the inner guards forcibly broke into the third prince's mansion, killing dozens of guards of the prince's mansion."

"The bedroom of His Highness the Third Highness has become a purgatory."

"Such a tragic situation is really shocking."

The old emperor's face darkened.

He is not feeling sorry for the misery of the third prince.

He is not happy—Pei Yi detailed the misery of the Third Prince's Mansion, is he accusing him, the emperor, of doing something wrong?

"I know that His Majesty will never allow such a cruel thing to happen in the prince's mansion, and will never issue an order to kill the third prince for no reason."

The old emperor's expression softened slightly.

Yes, he is the king of a country, how could he do cruel things?

"Some people bewitch the emperor's heart, some speculate on the holy will without authorization, and some abuse the name of His Majesty. This is the tragedy of the Third Prince's Mansion tonight."

The old emperor's expression softened completely.

Isn’t that what it is?

The ones who are wrong are those who don't know what to say.

How could I be wrong?

"I know that without these people getting in the way, His Majesty will definitely give His Highness a chance to defend himself." Pei Yi saluted solemnly.

The old emperor had already been persuaded, but thinking that this matter involved a royal scandal, he kept silent.

Pei Yi frowned slightly, and said to herself: This is not right. Obviously the old emperor looked like he was about to waver just now, why did he suddenly keep silent at the last moment?

Where is the problem?

Pei Yi was anxious, but she didn't panic.

On the contrary, the more anxious she was, the calmer she became.

The old emperor obviously wanted to agree but didn't open his mouth. It is probably difficult to talk about this matter.

What made the old emperor feel uncomfortable, could it be some royal family scandal?

When Pei Yi thought of this possibility, she couldn't help but shudder.

Royal Family Scandal...

When encountering such a thing, the Tian family usually wants to cover up their ugliness, and would rather kill by mistake than let the situation escalate.

The old emperor's current attitude may be that he has vaguely guessed that the third prince is innocent, but he still wants the third prince to take the blame so that the matter can be quickly suppressed.

Pei Yi took a deep breath. If this is the case, wouldn't Huo Yuan be sure to die?

In the blink of an eye, Pei Yifu was deeply moved, and slowly said: "My father once said that although he has the title of the first of the three founding generals, in fact, General Yan Chongdao is more worthy of this title."

"When I was competing in the world, my father said that he won the prestige by winning three battles with few victories, but in fact, the success of those three battles was inseparable from the great help of General Yan."

"If it weren't for General Yan and His Majesty leading the reinforcements in time to support, my father would have been trapped in an isolated city, so how can we talk about winning the battle?"

She suddenly brought up the war, which is really incomparably abrupt.

But the old emperor became calm and gentle after hearing the three words "Yan Chongdao". Instead of finding Pei Yi's topic abrupt, he listened with great interest.

Pei Yi continued unhurriedly: "My father said that there were many princes and princes competing in the world back then, and His Majesty's initial advantage was not obvious, but my father still chose to follow His Majesty."

The old emperor looked far away, as if recalling the past.

It is difficult to found a country.

When the world was in chaos, who would not want to win the Central Plains?

In the beginning, it wasn't the Huo family that was the most powerful. The Huo family wasn't even considered a middle class, and could only barely rank at the bottom of the ranks.

But who would have thought that a lowly nobleman like him would be able to get help from Pei Shu?

"I was curious and asked my father why."

"My father said that His Majesty has a long-term vision, is tolerant, and has the heart to accept suggestions."

"and…"

Pei Yi deliberately paused at this point.

The old emperor's appetite was whetted, and he looked at her expectantly.

Pei Yi then slowly continued: "At that time, General Yan spared no effort in choosing to support His Majesty."

"My father said that he not only believed in his own vision, he also believed in General Yan's vision."

"Your Majesty is the one General Yan is willing to follow and serve, and he must be the dragon among men."

The old emperor was in a daze for a while.

Thinking of Yan Chongdao, who had passed away long ago, the old emperor felt sour, and there was also a kind of guilt and shame that was difficult for outsiders to understand.

Chongdao has high hopes for him, but what about him now?

When the old emperor thought of the fact that he arbitrarily ordered the beheading of the third prince tonight, he suddenly felt guilty and frightened.

He is not guilty of his arbitrariness, nor is he afraid of almost killing his son.

He was afraid of facing Yan Chongdao under the Nine Springs.

If Yan Chongdao knew that he had done such a thing, how disappointed would he look at him?

The old emperor was so upset that he turned several times in his heart, and finally let out a long breath of foul air, and a wry smile appeared on his lips.

This Pei Sanlang...

guessing his mind like this, and giving him a high hat like this.

But he still can't say that Pei Sanlang is not good.

The old emperor was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "Pei Yi, this matter is very difficult. If you are so troublesome for the third child, I will leave this matter to you. If you do well, the third child will naturally be Escape punishment. If you don't do well, you have to accompany the third child on the road."

Pei Yi's anger that had just been relieved suddenly lifted again, and she almost couldn't hold back and cursed: You stupid king, crazy, I provoked you?

However, your emperor is your emperor, no matter how unreasonable the emperor's request is, as a courtier, you can only respectfully respond and call your majesty holy.

But, right now, Pei Yi is in a panic, and really can't show such a flattering attitude.

She had already flattered her all the time, and she was really upset that the old emperor wanted to treat her like this.

Seeing that Pei Yi didn't answer for a long time, the old emperor was not angry, but felt a little funny instead.

He had a sense of joy of being tricked, and chuckled jokingly: "I see that you don't seem convinced?"

Pei Yi heard that the old emperor seemed to be in a good mood, so she knew that her appearance did not offend the old emperor, so she simply admitted: "I am indeed dissatisfied in my heart. Doing things for your majesty is what I should do. It can be done If it's not good, I will lose my head, but there is not even a chance to redeem my merits, this minister feels... wronged."

The old emperor was amused, and thought that Pei Sanlang was still a child, and a courtier dared to complain in front of the emperor.

However, it is one thing to be in a good mood, and quite another to keep things confidential.

The old emperor said sternly: "This matter is related to the royal reputation, and it must be done in secret. If you want to do it, you must do it in a watertight way. If you can't do it well, even if your father comes to me to intercede, I will definitely kill you head. Pei Sanlang, do you still want to take over this matter?"

Pei Yi secretly thought that she guessed right, this matter is a royal family scandal.

She squeezed cold sweat in her palms, cupped her hands and solemnly said: "This minister takes orders."

The old emperor was a little surprised, but understood.

He really wanted to see how capable this Pei family boy was.

In fact, it is not too difficult to find out the inside story of this matter. The real difficulty lies in how to cover up this scandal. If Pei Yi can really solve the matter perfectly, then she is really a talent.
