At night, however, the streets were brightly lit. So it turned out that Xue Duan Sheng and the Godly Doctor were discussing about Mu Ying's heart, lung, and blood exchange tomorrow.
"This blood exchange is extremely important. It will take a long time, so do not let anyone disturb us midway. Otherwise, if even the tiniest of problems were to occur, the consequences would be unimaginable. " Once again, the flybird emphasized the importance of tomorrow.
"Rest assured, I will be watching over them personally tomorrow. Before you all come out, I will definitely not let anyone in." Wei Ming patted his chest in assurance.
"Father …" Xue Shaoli heard their conversation and walked up to them.
"Tomorrow, is there anything that requires your daughter's help? Father, please instruct me." Xue Shaoli said sensibly.
"This, the two divine doctors, please see what orders you have." Xue Duan Sheng looked at the two of them.
"No need, as long as the two of us are willing to help. This heart and lungs have the most bloodlines and it's the most complicated, we should have sent one or two people to help. But at the same time, it also increases the risk of confusion. In order to minimize this possibility, we decided that it would be better to just let the two of us do it. " Bian Xi said thoughtfully.
Xue Shaoli was very disappointed when she heard this. Sure enough, these two old things were always opposing her. Sooner or later, she would finish them both off.
Xue Shaoli thought as killing intent flashed across her eyes. She then concealed it, "Is there anything else I can help with outside?" Xue Shaoli asked unwillingly.
"I heard that Miss Xue has just recovered from a serious illness. It's not appropriate for you to work hard for a long time. You should rest more." Bian Xi said.
"That's right, Miss Xue, you have good intentions. I'll thank you in place of the prince." Wei Ming said euphemistically.
"Then... "Fine." Xue Shaoli saw that these people were being overly cautious and had no other way to take advantage of the situation. She had no choice but to give up. She thought that tomorrow was the most important moment and that she would find an opportunity to make her move.
In the end, Mu Lingfeng still truthfully reported the matter of Minister Wu to the Emperor, but erased all connections he had with him.
The emperor was furious and immediately ordered for Minister Wu to be executed.
It was a pity that Minister Wu was so smart. Even at the moment of his death, he still believed that Mu Lingfeng would try to save him before the execution.
Zheng Ziyi was demoted to agree, but this was not the empress's ultimate goal. She continuously sent people to humiliate Zheng Ziyi. Firstly, he wanted to vent his anger and punish Zheng Ziyi for being so arrogant before. Secondly, he wanted to wear down her will, so that she could reveal her relationship with Mu Lingfeng as a means to attack him.
Unfortunately, this Zheng Ziyi's skin was delicate, and he looked weak and weak, but his mouth was incomparably hard. Regarding Mu Lingfeng, she didn't reveal a single word.
Because in her heart, although Mu Lingfeng only treated her as a chess piece, she truly loved him from the bottom of her heart. She silently endured everything as her heart tried to find a way to regain the emperor's favor so that she could continue to help Mu Lingfeng.
Regarding the matter of restoring favor, Mu Lingfeng thought the same as her. As a result, when the sound of the wind died down, Mu Lingfeng finally sneaked into Zheng Ziyi's residence.
Right now, the Emperor no longer liked Zheng Ziyi. Furthermore, the place she lived was very remote, without any guards, just like a maidservant. Thus, no one noticed when Mu Lingfeng came over.
From afar, he saw Zheng Ziyi sitting alone under a tree. She looked very lonely and lonely.
Mu Lingfeng walked closer and held his ice-cold hand.
"Ah, Third Prince …" Zheng Ziyi turned her head and was both surprised and happy as she almost cried out.
"Shh..." Mu Lingfeng smiled as he pulled her into the room and closed the door.
"Third Prince, I'm sorry, I …" She was aware of Mu Lingfeng's recent situation and instead felt sorry for him.
"Don't talk about that. Right now, the most important thing is how to regain the emperor's favor." With a single sentence, Mu Lingfeng revealed his new purpose.
"Prince, I'm trying my best to think of a way, but now the emperor doesn't seem to like me anymore. No matter how much I ask, she won't come to this step." Zheng Ziyi also had a headache.
"I already knew this would happen. The emperor doesn't like your people, but the emperor likes his son …" Mu Lingfeng suddenly laughed sinisterly.
"Son... But after being with the emperor for so long, I still haven't gotten pregnant … " Zheng Ziyi felt helpless.
"It's too late to carry her now …" Mu Lingfeng said as he put his arm around Zheng Ziyi's waist.
"Ah, you mean …" Zheng Ziyi looked at Mu Lingfeng in disbelief. He actually dared to be so bold.
"Exactly." As Mu Lingfeng spoke, he carried Zheng Ziyi onto the bed and lowered his head to kiss her snow-white chest.
The sky had just brightened, and Wei Ming had already arranged for the dark guards to guard the entrance. The Bian Xi and the flat-bird had already started healing Mu Ying inside.
When Xue Shaoli woke up, it was already too late. Wei Ming was already standing guard at the door.
Last night, Xue Shaoli had been looking for an opportunity to get in and harm Mu, but Wei Ming had been keeping an eye on him the whole time. There was no way he could make a move under his nose.
Ever since Xue Shaoli had left the room, he had been lurking around Mu Ying's room, hoping to find an opportunity to make a move on him. He didn't believe that Wei Ming could stand guard like this for an entire night.
The truth proved that he could!
Xue Shaoli had been lying in wait in the jungle. It was hot and stuffy inside, but after a while, she couldn't take it anymore. Especially at night, there were a lot of mosquitoes, causing Xue Shaoli's body to feel itchy and painful.
Xue Shaoli endured it for a while and finally couldn't take it anymore. She cursed a few words in her heart and went back.
"I'll wake up a little earlier tomorrow morning. I don't believe that you'll be able to hold it until daybreak."
He hadn't expected to be so sleepy. Xue Shaoli had overslept, and Wei Ming was already there when he woke up.
Xue Shaoli had an idea and went to the kitchen.
"Lord, you've been standing here for so long. Rest for a while. The weather is so hot, so I've made you some green bean soup. Come, have a drink." Xue Shaolui placed the soup on the table in the courtyard and shouted at Wei Ming.
With her shout, the surrounding dark guards became even hungrier. They could not bear the scorching sun and now that they heard the words green bean soup, they could not help but swallow their saliva.
"No, thanks." Wei Ming looked at the soup in her hand and remained unmoved.
"Master, I know that you're worried that someone will disturb the two Godly Doctors, but don't worry. There are layers of guards guarding the area, and you're here with everyone else. Nothing will happen. You just came over to have a sip of soup, didn't you have your eyes on the door? " Xue Shaoli advised.
Wei Ming swallowed a mouthful of saliva. At this moment, his throat was dry. He had stayed up all night and was already sick. He truly couldn't take it.
Xue Shaoli saw that Wei Ming had wavered a little and suddenly put on a shy face. "Why don't you come and have a drink and rest for a bit? You. It hurts my heart to see you like this. " Xue Shaoli lowered her head and fiddled with the handkerchief in her hand, revealing the bashful expression of her youngest daughter.
"Ah, this," Wei Ming was a bit confused by the sudden confession. He hadn't thought Xue Shaoli would have such thoughts about him.
"Come here." Although Wei Ming didn't have that kind of intention towards Xue Shaoli, he still didn't know how to face this sudden thought. Not knowing what to do, he let Xue Shaori pull him to the side of the stone table and sat down.
"All of you, come over and have a drink as well." Xue Shaoli greeted everyone.
Wei Ming sat down, and Xue Shao Li scooped a bowl and handed it to him. "You drink."
Wei Ming hesitated a little as he held the green bean soup, but he still remained vigilant.
"You still don't trust me?" Xue Shaoli's face was filled with sadness as he lowered his eyes. "Let me drink a bowl first." Xue Shaoli snatched the soup from Wei Ming's hands and drank it.
"You can relax now," Xue Shaoli said as she turned the bowl over for Wei Ming to see.
"I am sincere, but I didn't expect you..." Xue Shaoli began to cry as she said this.
"This... That's not what I meant. " Wei Ming felt incomparably guilty and hurriedly sent Xue Shaoli away.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mrs Zhao, who had long colluded with Xue Shaoli, slipped into the room. Xue Shaoli's flowery words had already coaxed Mrs Zhao into submission.
Mrs Zhao slipped into the room and saw that behind the screen, there were two Godly Doctors with their backs facing him, wholeheartedly paying attention to the bruises on Mu Ying's body. Mrs Zhao stole a glance at the bed and his eyeballs nearly popped out of their sockets.
On the bed, he saw Mu Sheng lying on the bed. A large wound had appeared on his chest, and blood was dripping from it. It was as though his heart was beating. In a basin under the bed, there was black blood.
Not only did the room reek of blood, it also reeked of blood.
Mrs Zhao suppressed the churning in her stomach and took away some of the knives, needles and threads that she wanted to use, as well as the order of some of the medicines.
Outside the door, Wei Ming comforted Xue Shaoli a little and gulped down the soup before heading back to the door.
"Aiya, my feet are hurting." Xue Shaoli suddenly stepped forward and pretended to throw herself on Wei Ming.
Mrs Zhao heard Xue Shaoli's hint and quickly slipped out quietly.
"Are you alright?" Wei Ming righted Xue Shaoli.
"Uh, I'm fine, thank you." Xue Shaoli stroked her hair and said shyly.
"That's good. Brothers, quickly return to your positions, don't be careless. I know that everyone is very tired today, but just persevere today. Wei Ming shouted.
"Yes, milord." The guards hurriedly stood up.
Xue Shaoli carried the basket and left gracefully. She did not forget to smile at Wei Ming before she left. Wei Ming blushed and quickly looked away.
"How is it? Has it been settled yet?" Xue Shaori had just turned around the door and avoided Wei Ming's line of sight when he briskly walked to Mrs Zhao's room and asked.
"According to what you said, it's all messed up." Mrs Zhao said.
"But what we're doing won't affect your father, right?" Mrs Zhao was still somewhat worried.
"That won't happen. This Mu Ying is Xue Luoyun's fiancé. He caused us such misery, so we only punished him a bit, and made him suffer a bit more. It's fine." Xue Shaoli replied in a perfunctory manner.
"That's good." Mrs Zhao heaved a sigh of relief.
"Don't tell Father about this." Xue Shaoli warned.
"I won't." Mrs Zhao said.
After that, the two of them began sewing in the room.
