Chapter 191 The Death of Doctor Zhu
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I know I was wrong."
Upon hearing this, Ji Feng quickly lowered his head and dared not look at him again.
He knew that their prince hated people staring at his bald head the most.
King Nan Xiao then reached out and took the letter he handed over.
The envelope was opened, and there were three pages of content inside. At a glance, it was almost entirely Concubine Li's words expressing her longing for him, which made King Nan Xiao frown.
Just when he thought it was an ordinary love letter and was about to burn it, he suddenly saw the five big words "Imperial Doctor Zhu is Imprisoned" on the last page out of the corner of his eye.
King Nan Xiao frowned, then took the letter and read it carefully.
The meaning of Concubine Li's letter can be summed up in one sentence.
Doctor Zhu knows too many of their secrets, and in order to prevent future troubles, this person cannot be kept.
Concubine Li wanted her people to go to the Dali Temple's Tianlao and kill Doctor Zhu.
King Nan Xiao thought about it and felt that she was right.
In addition to being love-brained, Concubine Li would also actively ask for his opinion on many major matters.
King Nan Xiao was very satisfied with her tact.
Moreover, Doctor Zhu's life was like a time bomb to them. No one could guarantee that he would not say something he shouldn't say one day.
King Nan Xiao burned the letter and turned to look at Ji Feng.
"Ji Feng, go to the Dali Temple Prison in person and find a way to deal with Doctor Zhu. Remember to do it cleanly."
"Yes, Your Highness." Ji Feng took the order and left.
Dali Temple Prison.
Doctor Zhu was beaten so badly that his whole body was covered with wounds. He was now lying on the wooden bed, dying, gritting his teeth in pain.
Suddenly, he saw the jailers falling to the ground one by one. He was delighted, thinking that Concubine Li had sent someone to rescue him.
The next second, an arrow with a cold glow shot towards his heart.
Doctor Zhu's face turned pale with fright, and he rolled off the bed and fell to the ground in a mess. The arrow just missed him and hit the wall behind him.
He was breathing heavily and could tell at a glance that the arrow was poisonous, and it was a deadly poison that would kill instantly upon contact with blood.
A pair of black boots stopped in front of Doctor Zhu. He looked up and saw a man in night clothes stopped in front of him.
The man looked at him as if he were a dead person.
"I have no grudge against you, why do you want to kill me?"
Doctor Zhu's voice was trembling, and a large number of jailers fell down. He thought that the people who came were sent by Concubine Li to save him, but unexpectedly they were here to kill him.
Could it be someone sent by Ji Yuntang?
Ji Feng's eyes were as sharp as knives, his face was expressionless, and he spat out a few cold words from his lips.
"You know too many secrets and are blocking other people's way, which will lead to your death."
Doctor Zhu's face changed drastically.
After saying this, he was already very sure that the man in black in front of him was sent by Concubine Li.
He thought he had a lot of leverage over Concubine Li and that she would send someone to rescue him.
Unexpectedly, she wanted to kill herself.
Doctor Zhu's emotions suddenly became out of control. He trembled, struggled to crawl forward, and screamed heartbreakingly.
"No, you can't kill me. I want to see Concubine Li. I want to see Concubine Li."
"A dying person is not worthy of seeing the Empress."
As soon as he finished speaking, a knife flashed and Doctor Zhu's neck was cut.
He fell to the ground, his eyes open.
The next day, Ji Yuntang was still sleeping when he heard a commotion outside the West Garden.
When she opened her eyes, she was met with Luo Junhe's handsome face. He had a smile in his peach blossom eyes and was staring at her affectionately.
"Atang is awake, do you want to sleep a little longer?"
In the early morning, the man's magnetic voice was a little hoarse, and Ji Yuntang's heart melted when he heard it.
The ultimate masculine beauty, even his voice is so nice.
Ever since the two of them had talked it out last time, Ji Yuntang moved into Luo Junhe's room at night.
However, the two of them only kissed, hugged and slept in each other's arms, and did not take any further action.
Chen Hu's loud voice was still shouting outside the door. Although he had deliberately lowered his voice, Ji Yuntang still couldn't fall asleep.
She thought about it, then crawled out of the warm bed and kissed Luo Junhe on the lips again.
"I'm awake now, but I still don't want to sleep anymore. I'm going to go out and see what's going on outside."
"Okay." Luo Junhe watched his little princess crawl out of his arms, get dressed, wash, and put on makeup. Every frame was like an eye-catching painting.
It was not until Ji Yuntang opened the door and walked out, and he could no longer see anyone, that he reluctantly withdrew his gaze.
In the yard, Chen Hu was talking to Wang Sheng, Leng Yan and a few others. Ji Yuntang saw them gathered together and walked over to ask.
"What are you talking about?"
When Chen Hu saw Ji Yuntang, he turned to look at her and said hurriedly: "Princess, it's rumored in the capital that Doctor Zhu died in the prison last night. He was killed by someone who cut his throat with a sword. The Dali Temple is imposing martial law throughout the city to catch the murderer."
"Doctor Zhu is dead?"
Ji Yuntang was a little surprised. She originally wanted to kill Doctor Zhu, but she didn't expect someone to act faster than her.
But who was his murderer?
Could it be Concubine Li?
She was a concubine in the deep palace. No matter how powerful the people around her were in martial arts, how could they possibly escape the layers of guards in the Dali Temple's prison?
From this we can see that the person who could sneak into the Dali Temple's prison and kill Doctor Zhu without making any noise must have extremely good martial arts skills.
Just as Ji Yuntang was thinking about this, suddenly, a noisy sound came from outside.
A guard came running in panic to report: "Princess, it's bad. The Right Junior Official of the Dali Temple has brought people to arrest you and take you back to cooperate with the investigation of the murder of Doctor Zhu. Now he has broken in with his men."
Ji Yuntang's expression changed, and his eyes turned cold. He ordered Wang Sheng and Leng Yan, "This princess and Chen Hu will go over there. You guys stay here to protect the prince. Don't let anyone get close to the West Garden."
Wang Sheng also knew the seriousness of the matter. The murder case they were just discussing was now related to Ji Yuntang.
Even though everyone in the Night Palace knew that Ji Yuntang was not the one who killed Doctor Zhu, the fact that the Dali Temple came in person to arrest him meant that Ji Yuntang was among their suspects.
Wang Sheng immediately said with a serious face: "Don't worry, Princess. I have several subordinates here and will not let them get close to the West Garden."
Leng Yan, Xuan Bing, Tao Zhi and Yao Niang also spoke out to express their loyalty.
"Subordinate, even if I die here, I will not let them get close to the prince."
They knew they couldn't help much, so they could only protect Luo Junhe.
Ji Yuntang nodded, gave them a reassuring look, and then took Chen Hu away from Xiyuan.
In the front yard of Prince Ye's Mansion, a group of Dali Temple officers and soldiers led by Ji Huaiche had already surrounded Prince Ye's Mansion, and they were waiting there with stern expressions.
