Chapter 1235: Heavily Rewarded for Killing Her!
Even the eunuchs and palace attendants all wore worried expressions.The Imperial Physician sighed softly: "Eunuch, please lower your voice as well. The Emperor already detests the Regent King, and with you saying this, wouldn’t the Emperor want to immediately..."
The Chief Eunuch snorted coldly.
"The Emperor’s intentions are unpredictable; I am simply feeling sorry for His Majesty’s experiences in his youth."
"Doctor Wu, please carefully prescribe more pain relief medicine. In any case, the Emperor must attend court as usual tomorrow, and his illness must not be seen by the officials in the slightest."
The Imperial Physician bowed: "I will consult with my colleagues again and adjust the prescription."
They each busied themselves, while Bai Zhi’er put her hands behind her back, rounded the corner, and prepared to enter through the main gate.
The Imperial Guard immediately stopped her.
One of them even shouted loudly: "The demoness has appeared! She’s here again!"
Bai Zhi’er frowned, her beautiful face showing some displeasure: "What demoness? So this is how you speak ill of me behind my back!"
The Chief Eunuch hurriedly rushed out, calling out: "Quick! Tie her up first, lest she escapes again!"
The Imperial Guards quickly surrounded her.
Bai Zhi’er said coldly: "Do not act recklessly!"
However, the Imperial Guards had already encircled her.
Thinking they had bound Bai Zhi’er after much struggle.
A closer look revealed that the bound person had turned into the Chief Eunuch!
He stomped his foot: "You didn’t even clearly see who you were catching! She’s gone inside, quickly go protect the Emperor!"
The Imperial Guards hurried into the sleeping quarters one by one.
The Chief Eunuch suddenly fell to the ground, wailing: "First help me untie the ropes..."
At this moment, Bai Zhi’er had already walked to the yellow dragon bed outside the sleeping quarters.
The four palace servants attending already knew of this "demoness’s" abilities, each turning pale with fright.
Bai Zhi’er spoke with a slight mocking tone: "I heard the Emperor is ill?"
"Demoness..." Xie Yu’s voice was still clear and cold, yet seemed tinged with anger.
His slender hand pulled open the curtain, as if using all his strength, he leaned on the bedside, raising his head, glaring at Bai Zhi’er with eyes full of hostility:
"You dare to mock me—"
"Twice!"
Bai Zhi’er ignored his words, instead observing his ankle.
"Hmm... looks like you’re quite ill, are you unable to move your lower body?"
Xie Yu, enraged, his handsome fair face flushed with anger.
"I will kill you!"
He rolled off the bed with a thud, unable to exert force with his ankle, causing himself to fall on the floor.
Bai Zhi’er stepped back half a step: "I can heal you, no need for such a grand courtesy of bowing."
Xie Yu was speechless with rage: "How dare you!"
By this time, the Imperial Guards had already rushed in.
Xie Yu coldly ordered: "Capture her! I want her alive."
Bai Zhi’er waved her sleeve, and the candle flames inside the hall suddenly trembled and went out!
In an instant, everyone was plunged into darkness.
Even the well-trained Imperial Guards, though they drew their swords, were flustered!
Xie Yu supported himself against the bed, stumbling to stand.
At this moment, a slender hand steadily held his arm.
Xie Yu’s nose caught a whiff of a light fragrance.
He immediately realized that the "demoness" was supporting him.
Xie Yu tried to shake her off: "I don’t need your help."
However, unable to maintain his balance, even though Bai Zhi’er withdrew her hand, Xie Yu still fell onto the bed.
With a "snap," the lights came back on.
Xie Yu’s robe was half-open, revealing his fair chest.
Bai Zhi’er turned her gaze aside, coldly snorting with her arms crossed: "So frail, yet acting as the Emperor."
Xie Yu was furious: "You! Catch her, this time I don’t want her alive anymore, whoever kills her will be heavily rewarded!"
Bai Zhi’er turned her head to look at him: "If you kill me, no one will remove these needles, be careful with a wrong move, and you might become truly crippled."
Xie Yu looked down, when did his injured ankle get embedded with over a dozen silver needles?!
