Chapter 2167 Surprise
Many people were burned, and many of them were seriously injured. Ye Zhen checked the pulse again one by one, and prescribed medicine again. Unknowingly, it was already dark. Looking at the dark night outside, she remembered Murong Zhan has been in the palace for most of the day and has not come to see him yet. He seems to be very busy.
"Your Majesty..." Hou Peidong came over with a tray in his hand, "You haven't eaten anything all day. Please eat some snacks first. I've already sent someone to prepare dinner."
Ye Zhen said with a smile, "I don't feel hungry."
"Thanks to the rejuvenation of the empress, those patients seem to be in much less pain," Hou Peidong said.
"I'm just doing a little work, they are a disaster." Ye Zhen sighed in a low voice, "Master Hou, the hospital has worked hard for you in the past few years."
Hou Peidong shook his head and smiled, "Your Majesty, your words are serious."
"I am no longer a queen, it is inappropriate for you to call me empress again." Ye Zhen said with a smile.
"Oh, look, I forgot again." Hou Peidong slapped his mouth gently, "You are Princess Qin now."
Ye Zhen looked at him with a smile, remembering that when she first saw Hou Peidong, he was still a scoundrel and a playboy. Unexpectedly, he had become mature and steady in the past few years, "It's already late, I should go to the city, I'll come back tomorrow. "
"Then I will escort you back to the city." Hou Peidong said immediately.
"No need to go to such trouble, I rode out of the city by myself." Ye Zhen laughed. She was in a hurry to come to the hospital today, so she didn't even have a harness on the carriage, so she picked a horse from the Ye family.
In Hou Peidong's memory, the images of Lu Yaoyao and Ye Zhen often overlapped. They were both delicate young ladies. It was hard for him to imagine that she rode out of the city by herself.
"But...it will be a little unsafe now." He remembered that Mr. Ye personally taught Ye Zhen how to ride a horse. It seemed that Lu Yaoyao had also been good at riding since she was a child. However, he had heard that there were assassins on the day when the tree flower was beaten. If someone wants to assassinate Princess Mingyu, Lu Yaoyao is the biological mother of the princess, so there is no guarantee that she will be in danger.
Ye Zhen hoped that those assassins would dare to show up to kill her. Then it would be easier for her to find out who wanted to harm Mingyu.
"Master Hou, don't worry too much. I have my own way to protect myself." Ye Zhen waved her hand, indicating that Hou Peidong didn't need to worry.
"Princess..." Hou Peidong was about to persuade her to let him escort her back to the city, but he saw that Ye Zhen had already walked out.
He hurriedly chased after her and came to the gate of the hospital. Ye Zhen's horse was tied to the big tree next to it. She had already mounted the horse neatly and turned around to wave to Hou Peidong, "Master Hou, there is no need to send it off."
After saying that, she had already rode away.
Hou Peidong was not even given time to send someone to escort him.
Hou Peidong looked at the figure that had disappeared into the night, and only heard the distant clicking sound. He thought that she had such a heroic side, which he had not discovered before.
"Sir Hou." Medical officer He didn't know when he appeared, standing behind Hou Peidong.
"Medical Officer He, are you okay?" Hou Peidong turned around and saw Medical Officer He, his expression became cold.
"Master Marquis, aren't you going home?" Doctor He asked with a smile.
Hou Peidong said lightly, "I won't reply."
Doctor He frowned and said, "Master Marquis, you haven't been home for a long time. Madam misses you very much..."
"Medical Officer He!" Hou Peidong emphasized his tone, "It is inconvenient for outsiders to ask more questions about my family affairs. Whether and when I will go home are all my business. I hope you understand your duty."
"I just care about Madam. Seeing that Madam **** misses Mr. Hou, but can't see Mr. Hou, my heart goes out to her..." Doctor He's face was stiff. This was the first time that she was humiliated by Hou Peidong like this, and she suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Face.
Hou Peidong showed a sneer. He and his wife He were originally respectful to each other. In the past two years, He had heard rumors from unknown sources and always thought that he had an outside wife. After having trouble with him several times, he simply accepted the rumors. He kept a concubine at home, but He calmed down. He no longer cried, made trouble, and hung himself with him. He just had a lively fight with several concubines at home all day long. He was also happy and contented. Instead, this He The medical officer, relying on his close relationship with the He family, seemed to regard himself as his elder. Even if he said a few words to the medical woman, she would find excuses to make things difficult for the medical woman.
If it weren't for He's sake, he would have kicked this old woman away long ago.
"Medical Officer He has too many things to worry about. As a doctor in the hospital, you can also worry about the affairs in this prince's mansion. Why don't you stop being a doctor here and go to the prince's mansion to be a housekeeper." Hou Peidong said calmly. say.
Doctor He's expression changed. Doesn't that mean she becomes a slave? "The Marquis doesn't want to hear my concern, so I won't say anything from now on."
"In addition to treating patients and treating patients, Medical Officer He had better not get involved in other matters in the hospital from now on. That is not your responsibility." Hou Peidong said.
"Yes..." Dr. He said with gritted teeth and resentment in his heart. It must be Lu Yaoyao who said that she was not in front of Hou Peidong, otherwise how could Mr. Hou treat her like this.
But what can she do? Even if Lu Yaoyao is no longer the queen, she is still the princess. How can she, a little medical officer, go against a princess?
Hou Peidong ignored her and turned back to the hospital.
…
…
When Murong Zhan came out of the palace, he went directly to the secret guard. Although everyone in the secret guard knew him, he still took Murong Ke's handwriting.
"Your Majesty, please come here." Shen Yi heard the news and came out to welcome Mo Rongzhan in person, "We listened to Master Mingxi and asked a doctor to treat the two dead men, but there was no improvement yet. They Still no pain.”
If you don’t feel any pain, you just don’t want to do it.
Mo Rongzhan said quietly, "Take me to see it."
Shen Yi took Mo Rongzhan to the room where the two dead men were kept. Although it was still a prison, it was obviously much better than the previous place.
"Your Majesty, that's the two of them." Shen Yi pointed at the two people lying on the bed.
Murong Zhan walked over. The two people were tied up and couldn't move. Their eyes had no luster at all. If they weren't still breathing, they would be no different from dead people.
"The doctor said their blood is poisonous. My lord, please don't get close to them." Shen Yi said in a low voice.
"It doesn't matter." Mo Rongzhan said softly. He held the wrist of one of them. No matter how hard the human body is trained, it will still feel it. It is impossible not to feel any pain at all. They are just numbed by training. The ability to tolerate pain is just stronger than normal people.
He put his hand on one of them's forehead and injected a bit of spiritual power.
The man suddenly broke out in cold sweat, his teeth chattering and trembling.
Shen Yi was shocked when he saw it.
"Who sent you here?" Mo Rongzhan asked in a deep voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, the man spat out a mouthful of black blood, rolled his eyes and fainted.
Mo Rongzhan's expression changed slightly.
