Although Xie E and Zhao Gou looked extremely similar, there was still a slight difference if one looked carefully. At this time, everyone was already flustered, and many of the guards and eunuchs present had seen Ninth Prince, but no one could find anything amiss.
According to the rules of the palace, the age of an ordinary guard was limited to thirty years. According to the size of the merit points and the level of the martial arts skill, most of the guards would be assigned to lower ranked military officials when they reached thirty.
Liu Qing was close to forty years old, and had already served in the palace for twenty years. He had finally climbed to the position of a commander with great difficulty, and his subordinates were assigned nearly a thousand guards.
Zhang Xin and Liu Qing were grasshoppers tied to a rope, so he hurriedly pulled Liu Qing to the side and asked softly, "Commander Liu, is this Ninth Prince really not dead?"
Liu Qing bowed towards Zhang Xin, "Reporting to Manager Zhang, Ninth Prince's injuries are all concentrated on his head. He must have been thrown out by a thief and hit the wall. This lowly subordinate checked carefully, although the Ninth Prince's Qi is still indistinct, the wound on his head is not as big as imagined, and seems to be slowly healing, so … "
Zhang Xin finally heard the reassuring words and his eyes lit up. "Since that's the case, then why don't we cover up the Ninth Prince's face?
Liu Qing understood. If the imperial physician came and saw that it was the Ninth Prince, it would be hard to hide the news afterwards. He frowned and said, "This lowly servant understands Elder Zhang's meaning, but if you cover your face, how will the imperial physician treat you? "The art of medicine emphasizes on seeing and hearing, yet you can't even see your face, it seems to be a little difficult."
Zhang Xin laughed sinisterly, "Commander, the lives of dozens of people are tied together tonight. No matter how the imperial physicians treat them, they have their own abilities. First, cover Ninth Prince's face. "
Liu Qing clenched his teeth, tore off a strip of white cloth from his clothes, and dipped some blood into the ground to bandage Xie E's face, leaving behind only his eyes, nose, and mouth.
Zhang Xin nodded in satisfaction.
The imperial bodyguard rushed over with the imperial physician.
The Imperial Physician was called Wu Zhi, he was famous throughout the country as the famous national expert, and his medical skills were known as "Hua Tuo in the World"
He was already over sixty years old.
In his early years of life, when he was practicing medicine, all of the difficult illnesses that he encountered were not difficult for Wu Zhi. His later years were spent in exhaustion, and one of the imperial physicians, an old friend named Cheng Feng, recommended Wu Zhi to enter the palace to be an imperial physician.
Liu Qing saw that it was Wu Zhi, but knew him well. He hastened to greet him. "The old imperial physician came in late at night and worked very hard.
Wu Zhi slightly nodded his head and walked to Xie E's side. Seeing that Xie E's face was covered in a bloody cloth, but there was clearly no wound on his face, his heart moved, and he subconsciously looked at Liu Qing.
Liu Qing knew that Wu Zhi's medical skills were high, so he did not mind about anything else, he sent a gaze of trust back at him.
But it was not so for Zhang Xin, who was beside him, he scolded himself, the Wu Zhi who did not look down on you!
Wu Zhi also felt the heavy atmosphere in the study room. It was already late in the morning, and making such a big commotion in the emperor's study, it was hard to keep anyone's head from falling off balance. He might as well have seen the illness earlier and leave the study.
After making up his mind, Wu Zhi reached out his hand to establish a meridian. Then, his expression changed greatly as his hands could not help but tremble, and he exclaimed: "Not good! Yang Reversion! "
As he spoke, he took out a handful of golden needles from the medicine box and pulled out two of the longest needles, stabbing into the left and right temples.
Abruptly retreating, using the technique of a fairy, she scattered a circle of light around Xie E's body that he didn't know what she was talking about.
Liu Qing was proficient in martial arts, and seeing Wu Zhi's brilliant techniques, he was actually a martial arts expert!
At this moment, only Liu Qing and Zhang Xin were in the royal study room. Their faces had turned ashen from Wu Zhi's actions.
Zhang Xin whispered, "What does the old imperial physician mean by this?"
Wu Zhi made a silent gesture, pulling the two of them out of the three meter radius around Xie E. Seeing that Xie E had no reaction, he calmed himself down a little.
Wu Zhi let out a long breath, his serious face still did not reveal a trace of relief, "Who's lying on the ground?"
Liu Qing looked at Zhang Xin, who hesitated to speak.
Wu Zhi more or less knew about the rules of the palace, and explained, "I am not asking about his identity, but about his origins."
Liu Qing was relieved. He immediately told Wu Zhi everything that had happened in detail, causing Wu Zhi to shake his head and mutter to himself, "There's no reason, there's no reason …"
Zhang Xin was getting anxious. "The old doctor, if you have something to say, just say it. He's really worried my family to death."
Wu Zhi thought for a while, then slowly said: "The one on the ground is an undying body!"
"Immortal Body!?"
The two of them cried out in alarm.
< p > "That's right!"
Wu Zhi took a deep breath, organized his thoughts and said: "I have been practicing medicine in the Southern Wilderness, there is a mountain in the Dali, called the Coffin Mountain, there is a tribe, about a hundred people. All the clan leaders are witch doctors, and their lifelong pursuit is the 'Immortal Body'!
"That year, this old man unintentionally discovered this tribe and came into conflict with the clan leader at that time. He arranged for a battle at the top of Coffin Altar Mountain." As a result, after two days and two nights of war, I was lucky enough to win with half a move. Unexpectedly, the clan leader was so narrow-minded that he suddenly bit his tongue and committed suicide. Who would have thought that the Patriarch would use his death to activate the immortal body and cause the Corpse Transformation to knock me off the cliff on the spot. Fortunately, I grabbed the branch on the side of the cliff and escaped. I fled back to the Central Plains in a panic. "After ten years of studying the Dao of meridians, I still have no confidence in the 'Immortal Body'."
What's more, I didn't expect to see the 'Sun Returning Vein' again today!
Wu Zhi gave a brief summary of the situation, shocking Liu Qing and Zhang Xin silly like a wooden chicken.
