C474 Start of interrogation
"Yes." The waiter quickly took the silver and left. Only when Xiao He had the waiter add something to the wine did Imperial Physician Liang get drunk even faster. As for He Li and the other two physicians, they were arranged by the Ninth Prince.
Inside the private room, Imperial Physician Liang was almost done drinking.
Imperial Physician Li leaned over and asked, "Imperial Physician Liang, who was the one who paid you all this silver? We two brothers are really too envious of it. I hope this master can have us serve him."
"Hehehe, hehehe .." Imperial Physician Liang's face was flushed red, his eyes unfocused. He leaned against the table and laughed. "Don't think I don't know. You're trying to trick me, aren't you?"
He and Li were startled. They glanced at the private room across from them and their hearts jumped. Did Imperial Physician Liang see through them?
"I won't tell you. I don't want you guys to steal my good job. Hehehe. However, it won't be that easy for you to take it away either. I .." "I've been doing this for this master for a long time .."
So that's how it was! Only then did He Li and Li Jun quietly heave a sigh of relief.
Imperial Physician Liang stood up again and reached out a hand to grab the wine cup. "Where's the wine? It's mine. Give me the wine."
Drinking more might be a crime, so Imperial Physician He hastened to take the wine cup away. "Imperial Physician Liang, there's a prescription I want to consult with you about. Otherwise, I wouldn't have given you the wine."
"Wh-What prescription?" Imperial Physician Liang let out a burp as he lifted his heavy eyelids and asked.
I'm worried that if this goes on, Lin Mei will be dissatisfied with me. If you go to the emperor and complain to him that I am not diligent enough, then that would be bad, and you also know that Lin Mei has recently obtained a Holy Pet, so she wants to use this opportunity to give birth to a dragon. If I am successful in my treatment, then she will have a backer like you in the future.
"Heh heh, don't speak of it. I, Liang Zhixin, am truly an expert in the treatment of the bodies of the esteemed women. I have only gotten pregnant half a year after using my method to treat that beauty Li who has recently been pregnant with a dragon. "Also, there's also Lian Zhaoyi. Back then, I was the one who took care of her, which was why she had a twin." Imperial Physician Liang had originally been impulsive from drinking wine, but now that Imperial Physician He praised him so fiercely, he became even more carefree.
"Then we must ask Imperial Physician Liang to help us brothers with a good future." Thus, Imperial Physician Li had the waiter bring ink and paper and place it in front of Imperial Physician Liang.
Imperial Physician Liang picked up his brush, his hand trembling, but he didn't move it.
"Aiya, Imperial Physician He, how can you be so insensible? We should have taken Imperial Physician Liang as our teacher. Hurry, hurry, bring the wine and kneel down to acknowledge our teacher." Imperial Physician Li hastened to say.
Seeing these two colleagues kneeling on the ground and calling her master, a smile appeared on Imperial Physician Liang's flushed face. Finally, she wrote the letter to Imperial Physician He one by one.
After so many years of forming the habit of writing a prescription, even though his hands were still shaking, he was still able to write the words neatly and tidily.
"Take it. With this recipe, the two of you won't have long to meet a good master."
Imperial Physician Li took it to the pharmacy and hurried to say, "Thank you."
Meanwhile, Imperial Physician He continued to pour wine until he suddenly slammed his head on the table and fell into a deep slumber.
Imperial Physician Li immediately blew the prescription dry and pressed down on Imperial Physician Liang's hand, folding it. He hurried to the other side and bowed to give the prescription to Xiao He. "Young duke, His Highness's orders have been completed."
Xiao He extended his hand to take the medicinal formula and spread it out. He glanced at it and his gaze descended upon Qian Bei's words. A trace of cold ridicule instantly appeared on the corners of his mouth.
"The two of you can leave. Just let him sleep inside by himself." he said.
"Yes, young duke." He Li and Imperial Physician He Li hurriedly left the private room, leaving Imperial Physician Liang to sleep in there to his death.
Imperial Physician Liang was completely drunk. He and He Li had left without knowing it, until their bodies went limp and they fell asleep on the ground.
He slept all the way until the next day when he finally woke up. He felt a splitting headache and his whole body was aching. When he opened his eyes and saw the person sitting opposite him happily eating breakfast, he jumped in surprise. His mind flashed and he quickly kneeled down...
"Young duke, your humble servant deserves to die."
Xiao He used his chopsticks to pick up a piece of food and slowly ate it. He didn't even bat an eyelid as if the person in front of him didn't exist. His entire body emitted a cold aura.
Imperial Physician Liang knelt on the ground, his knees trembling, his entire body trembling in fear and trepidation. In his mind, he desperately tried to recall what had happened last night, but he hated him for drinking too much.
He couldn't recall anything else that had happened, so he had no idea why Xiao He would appear here.
"Young, young duke .." Imperial Physician Liang felt a chill run down his spine. In his mind, he was pondering why Xiao He was here. Could it be that this matter had something to do with the Eleventh Princess?
"Imperial Physician Liang, you really aren't afraid of death." At this moment, Xiao He finally spoke.
He put down his chopsticks and raised his head to look at the kneeling Imperial Physician Liang as he spoke.
"This lowly servant doesn't understand what the young duke is saying." Imperial Physician Liang's voice trembled as he spoke.
"Don't know?" "Hmph .." Xiao He's face revealed an evil smile as he said, "You don't need to know for now. Someone is coming .."
He gave the order coldly, and the door to the private room opened. Two people in the form of imperial bodyguards entered. Imperial Physician Liang kept an eye on them —
"Young duke, you, what are you doing?"
"Take him down for a bath and change his clean clothes until he can no longer smell the wine." Xiao He instructed.
"Yes sir!"
Imperial Physician Liang wanted to continue speaking, but a guard blocked his mouth and dragged him away.
He wanted to bring Imperial Physician Liang to the emperor. The smell of alcohol on his body could only be suspected of being framed, so he had to clean it away without leaving any trace of the sinful wine.
Within the Celestial Prison.
The empress's palace maid, Sherry, took some time to think before finally seeing Princess Eleven. She felt a pang in her heart the moment she saw Feng Lingyue's appearance.
She knelt in front of the door and placed down the food she had brought with her. "Princess, the esteemed Empress sent me."
When Feng Lingyue heard this, she lifted her head and asked anxiously, "Your Highness knows about it too?" How is she? "
"Esteemed Empress asked this servant to tell you that she has let you down and doesn't have the ability to scheme anything for you. She wants you to take care of yourself." Xue Li passed on the empress's message to Feng Lingyue. Finally, she paused and added, "The empress is very worried about you."
As Feng Lingyue heard this, her tears couldn't help but begin to fall.
As if she had suddenly gained some kind of strength, she climbed down from the cold stone bed and walked to the door of the cell.
