C116

In the silence of the room, only Ji Tian Ning was left standing in front of the operating table. Even though he was unconscious, his face was still twisted and convulsing. Blood kept seeping out of the opened head.

Ji Tian Ning lowered her head. Ke Wuji had already woken up, but he could only look at Ji Tian Ning. He did not have any strength left in his body, nor could he make a sound. He wanted to move, but he couldn't. He could only lie on the ground and watch Ji Tian Ning, who was looking down at him.

"Don't worry, I just used some medicine on you and you won't be in danger of losing your life. I won't kill you. As a doctor, I will only save someone from their illness. I won't kill you in vain. "

He walked up to the patient and sighed, "Don't make it so painful. Since there's no hope, go ahead."

He took out a small bottle and poured out some powder. Then, he mixed it with water and poured it into the patient's mouth. The patient drank it and the convulsions on his body gradually slowed down. Not long later, he stopped breathing. His face was still in extreme pain and was somewhat hideous.

Ke Wuji was lying on the ground, and he could see the patient's face. When he saw this face, he could not help but feel a chill in his heart. He quickly lowered his eyelids, and did not dare to look any further.

Ji Tian Ning sat on a chair and closed her eyes to rest. She was already exhausted, and the sky outside was gradually darkening.

After slightly moving for a while, he finally opened his eyes. He had fallen asleep while leaning on a chair. After performing surgery for the entire day, he was simply too exhausted. He had actually fallen asleep just like that.

He moved his neck and the joints of his body, got up from the chair, moved a few times, then walked to the window. He opened the curtain a little with his hand and looked through the gap in the window.

The chilly moonlight shone on the red jade wall and scattered down a field of frost. The palaces and pavilions that stood in the dark were like monsters that were hibernating in the dark, wanting to swallow someone.

He slightly pushed open the window frame, and saw that the moon had risen to the zenith. Tonight's moon was bright and clear, the moon bright and the stars sparse.

"What a beautiful moon. Tomorrow will be the fifteenth. I just don't know if I can see the full moon in Mid-Autumn Festival."

A bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He put down the curtain and walked to Ke Wuji's side. However, Ke Wuji was still lying on the ground powerlessly.

"Can you answer one of my questions?"

Ke Wuji lowered his eyelids, not daring to look Ji Tian Ning in the eye.

"I know that perhaps you have many feelings of helplessness, but since you have already done so, you should bear the responsibility."

Ke Wuji was utterly ashamed. "Esteemed wangfei, this humble subject also had no choice but to do so …"

He suddenly realized that he could speak. He was stunned and slightly moved his body. Although he was still weak, he could already do something.

"The medicinal strength in your body will disappear in a short while. Now, you should also tell me who ordered you to do this."

"Your Highness, please forgive me. This humble subject cannot say that this subject has committed the sin of dying a thousand times, so I owe the Empress a great debt of gratitude. I beg of you to die."

"Ke Wuji, if you don't speak now, you won't have a chance to. I won't do anything to you, but that doesn't mean others will spare your life. I do not know if your emperor will punish you, but I know that those who command you will not allow you to live. "

"This humble subject has nothing else to ask, I just hope that my family is safe and sound."

His tone was filled with helplessness and grief. If he were to die alone and return home safely, what choice would he have?

Ji Tian Ning stood up. She understood why Ke Wuji had done so and understood his feelings, "I don't blame you, but I won't forgive you for that. Even if you hadn't said it, I could have guessed who ordered you to do so. Ke Wuji, you better take care of yourself. If you can escape this calamity, I hope that you can become a qualified doctor. "

She went to the door, lifted her hand, and gently unlatched it.

"Empress, in the future, in the imperial harem, you must be careful. The Empress knows very well who can harm the Empress. This humble subject wishes the Empress safe and sound!"

Ke Wuji knelt behind Ji Tian Ning and kowtowed deeply. Ji Tian Ning did not turn back as she walked out of the room. Once again, she closed the door.

Raising her head and looking at the moonlight in the sky, she felt an indescribable tiredness in her body and mind. She slowly walked towards her room. She only wanted to take a good rest.

Outside, there were some shadows quietly standing. When they saw Ji Tian Ning come out, they all came to greet him. "Greetings, Empress. May I ask how is the operation going on?"

"Tofu, come back with me."

Ji Tian Ning did not reply. Her voice carried a trace of hoarseness. She did not even look at the people bowing towards her. Instead, she called for the tares before them before walking to her own room.

Those people naturally did not dare to obstruct him. Looking at the door that had once again been closed, they looked at each other, not knowing whether or not to open it.

"Why didn't the imperial physician order come out? Why didn't the Left Courtyard come back after the verdict?"

Some raised doubts, but none of them dared to carelessly open the door. After a moment, one of them finally jumped out, opened the door, and peeked inside. It was pitch black inside. He couldn't see his own fingers or anything else.

"Men, bring me the lantern."

Someone picked up a lantern and followed the light of the lantern into the operating room. The scene that greeted their eyes was a deep purple. It was a shocking sight to behold.

Ke Wuji leaned against the chair and used his sleeves to cover his face. He seemed to be resting. On the operating table, the patient lay there quietly without a sound.

Ah!

A scream broke the silence of the night. It was already seen that the patient's head was still open, but he had already stopped breathing.

"Shut up!"

Someone shouted in the darkness. There was only heavy breathing and vomiting.

A man walked up with a lantern in his hand. He placed his hand on the patient's wrist and the tip of his nose and tried to examine the corpse. The corpse was already ice-cold. It was obvious that it had been dead for some time.

"Sir Imperial Physician Order, Sir Imperial Physician Order, please wake up!"

Ke Wuji seemed to have fallen asleep. He was still covering his face with his sleeves and remained motionless.

Someone came forward and pulled down Ke Wuji's sleeve, revealing a calm face. However, Ke Wuji had already stopped breathing and calmly died.

"Oh my god!"

Another person exclaimed. Footsteps, exclamations, vomiting …

He was holding a lantern to test the patient. The man who had pulled on Ke Wuji's sleeve quickly retreated outside. He had to report this matter as soon as possible so as to not delay his time.

However, just as he walked outside, he realized that he was surrounded by guards. Even a mouse wouldn't be able to get through. Wu De silently stood in the courtyard, coldly looking at them.

Wude slightly waved his hand, and the guards all rushed up, used cloth to cover these people's mouth and tied them up. Although there were people who wanted to resist, when they saw that it was a guard and that the Flaming Devil Scale's personal steward was present, they no longer dared to resist and obediently gave up.

"This servant is too …"

Some of them wanted to say something, but before they could finish, their mouths were stuffed shut and they were led down the stairs.

"Search, don't let any of them go!"

Wu De's cold words immediately caused the guards to search everywhere. No one nearby was able to escape. Wu De slowly walked into the operation room. There was only one person by his side, carrying a lantern, following behind him.

After that, he closed the door and walked around the room. After seeing the patient and Ke Wuji clearly, he walked out of the room.

"Go and dispose of the patient's body, and clean up everything. Do not leave any traces behind. Ke Wuji will be the first to go, so don't let anyone find out. "

"Yes."

The person by Wu De's side bowed and agreed, then led two people into the room. Wu De took a big step and walked towards Huo Ni Lin's chamber, where Huo Ni Lin was still waiting for him to report.

"Your Majesty, this servant has already dealt with it."

Wu De didn't report anything. It seemed like the Fiery Inverted Scale already knew about all of this. He leaned wearily on the dragon bed and asked, "How is she now?"

"The Empress has already returned to her bedroom and hurriedly bathed before resting. She has already fallen asleep."

"She can actually still sleep. Do you think that she doesn't know anything and thinks that she is safe or that her life and death are out of her reach?"

Wu De also shook his head helplessly, looking at the equally helpless reverse scale of fire. "This servant can't think of what the Empress is thinking. The Empress sleeps soundly."

Le Tian took the dragon jade pendant and followed a few imperial guards back to his home. The guards were here to spy on him and were ordered to bring him back to the palace.

Le Tian's home was very simple. Other than the two servants, there was no one else. He had no family and his parents had died early, so he had been living alone. After returning to his room, he placed the small box that Ji Tian Ning had taught him on the table. He then took out an oil lamp and lit it up. The room immediately lit up.

"It's not too late yet, why do we need to light a lamp?"

The guard looked around and determined that there was no threat here. His nerves immediately relaxed.

Le Tian smiled and closed the window. "I need to find something that cannot be seen. Therefore, I need to close the window and light the oil lamp."

After closing the window, the interior of the room became dark. Fortunately, Le Tian had lit the oil lamp beforehand, so the guard did not mind. "Please be quick about it. We still need to go back and report."

"Milords, please sit for a moment. It will be done very soon."

Le Tian took out two more oil lamps and lit them up. He slowly walked to the bed and crouched down. It seemed like he was looking for something under the bed. At the same time, there were two guards standing guard outside to keep an eye on the two servants.

Faintly, there was a faint fragrance drifting in the air. At the same time, there was also a strange smell mixed in with the fragrance.

None of the guards noticed the fragrance, but they felt a little tired and drowsy. They quickly braced themselves. This was their will, and they could not afford to lose.

As the fragrance wafted through the air, the guards' eyelids grew heavier. They felt that something was amiss and was about to shout out when they realized that they could no longer speak. Their bodies went limp and they fell to the ground.

Le Tian turned around and looked at the guards indifferently. There were still two guards outside. How should he deal with them?

At the bottom, there was faint smoke. That smoke was an indescribable poisonous fog, and it had the effect of making people lose consciousness. Le Tian stood up and quickly packed his stuff. In his mind, he was thinking about how he could trick the two guards outside as well. As an imperial physician, he naturally had a way to protect himself.
