Painting Doctor Jinhua

Chapter 126 Rebellion (3)

For the sake of Xiao Jinyu's safety, this time, Gao Changgong insisted on personally bringing guards to send her back to the "Xiao Residence" in Jianxi Hutong.

At that time, everyone in the mansion was worried. After taking Xiao Xian out of Miaofa Temple, Fenghuang turned back and looked for Xiao Jinyu everywhere.

It was not until this moment, when everyone saw Xiao Jinyu appearing safe and sound with Lanling King, that their uneasy hearts finally settled down.

Although what happened in Miaofa Temple that day was thrilling and caused panic among the people, fortunately it did not cause a major disturbance. The monks who instigated the riot were quickly controlled and arrested by the imperial guards and then handed over to the court for interrogation.

After experiencing this incident, the ministers and scholars who came to participate in the debate were all frightened out of their wits and they probably dared not go out for some time.

Because they knew that this turmoil would never really end, and King Shixing would not let it go. He actually... fled before His Majesty was about to issue an edict to convict him. What followed would only be an even more unscrupulous rebellion!

Now the momentary tranquility in Jiankang City will only be a brief peace before the storm.

There are no pedestrians on the street!

……

Chen Shuling, the King of Shixing, did not dare to return to the palace, but fled to the East City in the southeast corner of Jiankang City. This was also a private residence he secretly purchased, which was used to store troops and food. Over the years, he had accumulated a lot of wealth by plundering the people's blood and sweat. He had soldiers, horses, fields, houses, women, everything!

No matter where you are, don't forget to enjoy yourself.

At this moment, he still has wine and beauty in his arms. Although his mood is extremely bad, it does not affect his enjoyment!

After venting his anger on a beautiful woman, Chen Shuling found that it was not enough, so he drew his sword and cut the woman's throat.

"Your Majesty——"

Dai Wen, who had just returned to report, was shocked to see the woman lying on the ground with her eyes wide open and dead.

"If I lose and die, what is the meaning of all the wealth and women I own? Unless I can win and sit in that position, all these women will be buried with me!"

"And you..."

Chen Shuling turned around and cast a fierce look at Dai Wen.

"How is it? Have you found that Xie Zhen?"

Dai Wen lowered his head, a little panicked.

"No, I searched the entire Miaofa Temple and the embassy where Prince Lanling was, but I did not see the figure in the prince's painting, that is, Xie Zhen!"

"Not seen?" Chen Shuling was furious, his hands holding the sword were shaking. He really didn't understand what hatred this Xie Zhen had against him that he wanted to use the excuse of debate to force his father to convict him in front of all the ministers, scholars and the public, and he even said that if a prince broke the law, he would be punished the same as a commoner!

It's ridiculous! Delusion!

But it also forced him into such a miserable state that he could no longer gain his father's trust!

Chen Shuling thought for a moment and asked again: "Maybe this person is dressed in foreign clothes. Didn't you see anyone suspicious?"

Dai Wen shook his head and hesitated for a long time before whispering:

"However, Lanling Wang has just got a beautiful concubine, who is as beautiful as an immortal. I have never seen anyone as beautiful as her, and I cannot bear to hurt her!"

Talking about beauties in front of him at this moment is undoubtedly like stabbing a needle in his heart. No matter how beautiful the woman is in front of him, he will be powerless!

So, was this a mockery of him?

"As beautiful as a fairy? How beautiful is that?" he asked with a sneer.

Davin already sensed a hint of danger.

"Your Highness, I have not seen many women in my life, so when I saw one like this, I lost my mind. I spoke out of turn!" Dai Wen quickly changed his words.

Chen Shuling suddenly thrust the sword, which was still dripping with blood, into the ground, gritting his teeth and swearing:

"No matter what method you use, I will capture Xie Zhen and cut him into pieces myself to avenge today's vengeance!"

"Yes!"

Dai Wen was about to leave after receiving the order when Chen Shuling called him back.

"By the way, how is my father? Have you found out any news?"

Daven hesitated again for a moment, then replied:

"Your Majesty seems to be ill and bedridden. The Queen is summoning the imperial doctors to treat him!"

Sick? Could it be...really...

"Then we can't wait any longer. Send a message to those kings and generals that I will mobilize all the troops in the capital, kill the prince, and take Jiankangtaicheng directly!"

"Yes!"

Dai Wen left in a panic, and after walking a long way, his legs seemed to be shaking.

Is it true that following such a cruel prince will bring you endless wealth and a bright future?

How many troops could he muster now? How many kings and generals would respond to his call?

Dai Wen was unsure and very frightened.

The money and property that King Shixing gave him were indeed considerable, enough for him to support his entire family, but at the same time his life was hanging by a thread and he could lose his head at any time.

……

Not long after Xiao Jinyu returned to the Xiao residence, she received another decree from the Queen, ordering her to enter the palace immediately.

The Queen's words were earnest and threatening, and there was no time to lose!

Before this, another incident happened in the house. Two elderly soldiers escaped into the house and revealed their identities to Xiao Xian. They were private soldiers under the control of Princess Yunyin of the Xiao family.

"Princess Yunyin is actually colluding with King Shixing. This time King Shixing intends to rebel and seize the throne. Princess Yunyin is forcing us to join King Shixing's army and rebel with him!"

"We were already under the control of the poison she had given us. Over the years, many of our old soldiers were replaced by her men. The guards left by the crown prince are no longer recognizable."

"However, there are still soldiers loyal to the real head of the Xiao family. We two don't want to be controlled by that vicious woman anymore. Even if we die from the poison, we must escape with the soldiers who have not been harmed by her!"

"Mr. Xiao Qilang has the demeanor of the crown prince in his past. We are willing to serve him till death!"

As he finished speaking, there was a rumble of orderly footsteps outside the courtyard. Ling Ye and Fenghuang immediately became alert and prepared for battle, but they saw dozens of soldiers lined up outside the courtyard, shouting in unison: "We are willing to serve Mr. Xiao Qilang until our death!"

These soldiers all had wounds on their bodies. It seemed that they had fought a bloody battle and had to flee here for their lives!

Xiao Jinyu walked out, looked at the two elderly generals, and extended his hand.

"Come here, let me take a look!"

The two guards were surprised to see that she looked like Xiao Luan, and asked happily, "Are you Miss Luan? Is Miss Luan back?"

"I'm not!" Xiao Jinyu denied directly.

The two generals showed disappointment on their faces, but then they thought of something and asked, "Is it her daughter?"

Xiao Jinyu nodded.

"Yes, I am her daughter, but this is not my real appearance!" She tore off the fake skin on her face, looked at the two generals and the generals behind them, and said, "This is my real appearance!"

The courtyard suddenly fell silent. When everyone was confused as to why Xiao Jinyu wanted to reveal her true appearance at this moment, Xiao Xianyi stepped forward and said, "Yes, she is the daughter of my elder sister Xiao Luan and General Han, so she looks like General Han. There is no need to be confused!"

"Her name is Xiao Jinyu. Everyone should remember this name. Moreover, she has inherited the medical skills of her mother Xiao Luan!"

After a pause, Xiao Xian continued:

"She can remove poison and cure diseases for both of you, so that you will no longer be controlled by others!"

The last sentence made the two elderly soldiers look at Xiao Jinyu in surprise.

"Is she the daughter of Miss Luan, our young mistress?"

"We are here to see the young master!"

There was another round of shouting outside the courtyard!

Xiao Jinyu called out to A Yuan and asked, "A Yuan, how is your medicine preparation going?"

"Well, okay, following the method my sister told me, Ayuan, under the guidance of Uncle Xian, did not slack off at all and did not make any mistakes!"

"Well, give me one to try!"

"Good!"

A Yuan went to get the medicine, but Xiao Xian became nervous.

"No, this medicine has just been made and no one has tried it. How can you taste it?"

"Because no one has tried it, I want to try it!" Xiao Jinyu replied, and smiled again, "Uncle Xian, don't worry, I have been practicing medicine and tasting medicine with my mother since I was a child. I already have experience. If there is anything wrong, Yu can save herself immediately!"

What's more, Xiao Luan has trained her daughter to have a physique that is immune to all poisons, except for the aphrodisiac which is not considered a poison!

A Yuan handed the pill to Xiao Jinyu, and everyone in the yard became nervous.

When Xiao Jinyu picked up the pill and was about to put it into her mouth, Xiao Xian still held her hand tightly with concern. Then, when she was caught off guard, he snatched the pill and swallowed it himself.

"Uncle Xian!"

"Jun Xiao Qilang!"

The two generals were moved to tears.

"I have tasted the poison Princess Yunyin used, so it is most appropriate for me to taste the antidote. Even if there is something wrong, don't you, the miracle doctor, still be here?"

Xiao Xian said to Xiao Jinyu with a smile.

Xiao Jinyu had nothing to say, but her heart was filled with warmth.

After a long while, Xiao Jinyu took Xiao Xian's pulse. Amid everyone's nervous waiting, she suddenly smiled and nodded to Xiao Xian.

"Ayuan, give the medicine to these two uncles!"

"it is good!"

A Yuan happily handed the prepared pills to the two generals and asked them to take them themselves.

At this time, Xiao Jinyu said: "The antidote Princess Yunyin gave you was never an antidote. On the contrary, if you hadn't taken this so-called antidote, the toxicity would have been resolved long ago. It is precisely because you have been taking this antidote for many years that you have become poisoned and there is no cure!"

The two generals looked surprised, but then they heard her change the subject and said,

"However, the medicine I give you is a newly made anti-poison pill. It can cure any poison!"
