How can I bow my head and serve the powerful officials?

Chapter 247 Returning to Xie Chengze, the boss speaks to Xie Chengze

If he died, would he be alone?

Probably not, because there are many people here who love him and don’t need him.

Also good.

Hold on a little longer.

He had to wait until Sheng Shihuai was undoubtedly dead, so that Xie Chengze could stay here with peace of mind in the future.

He raised his head with great effort and looked at Sheng Shihuai, "Are you satisfied now?"

Sheng Shihuai didn't expect Shen Yuan to be so efficient, but this was just as he wished. One of his missions this time was to kill Shen Yuan as much as possible.

Shen Yuan must be the biggest obstacle to his success.

Killing him would save us a lot of trouble.

His gaze fell on Wuhen and Wuji again. Their actions just now had proved that they didn't care about the lives of Shen's father and mother at all. It was obviously impossible to use Shen's father and mother to threaten them.

So he said, "Let these two people retreat a hundred meters."

Wuhen and Wuji immediately turned around and left.

Sheng Shihuai looked at Xie Jinyu again.

In order to lure him into a trap, the prince was hit by his palm just now. Although the palm missed and did not kill him, he was powerless to defend himself at this moment, so he threw Shen's father to the hands of the man in black behind him with confidence and walked towards Shen Yuan.

You have to kill Shen Yuan with your own hands.

The wound on Sheng Shihuai's chest began to bleed again, but he still walked towards the unconscious Shen Yuan stubbornly and raised the knife to point it at Shen Yuan's throat.

"do not blame me."

He said this inexplicably, then his eyes turned fierce and he stabbed Shen Yuan hard at the back of the neck.

Just as the knife was about to pierce Shen Yuan's throat, Shen Yuan suddenly shifted his neck, and the green sword in his abdomen was suddenly pulled out, making two extremely sharp sounds in the air.

His movements were too swift, but Sheng Shihuai had already expected it. He subconsciously turned over to avoid it, and suddenly realized something was wrong. However, it was too late. The faint sound of the arrow mixed with two sharp sounds of breaking through the air had already reached his ears, pierced his flesh and blood, and went through his throat.

The arrow feathers trembled slightly, and the black arrowhead was engraved with the number of the Imperial Guard, which was exactly what the army used.

However, he was too weak to look back to see who the owner of the arrow was, and he fell to the ground, covering his neck and twitching, with blood spurting from his mouth and all over his face.

People who practice martial arts can sometimes even identify positions by sound and resist arrows coming from the front and back. In order to interfere with Sheng Shihuai's hearing, Shen Yuan tried his best to make two sword sounds to confuse his judgment.

"Shen Yuan!"

On the palace wall not far away, Xie Chengze could no longer hold back. He jumped off the wall, rolled twice to release the force, and then ran towards Shen Yuan in panic.

He is late!

Seeing that the situation was not good, several men in black were about to cut the necks of Shen's father and mother, when suddenly the sound of arrows came again, piercing their foreheads and throats accurately.

Cao Que and Xie Shoujun also jumped down from the palace wall, and the man holding the arrow in his hand was Cao Que.

No one knew that Cao Que was not only an expert in martial arts, but also an expert in archery. That was why he won the favor of the Queen and was supported to become the current leader of the Cao family.

It was precisely because he kept this skill hidden that Sheng Shihuai was able to let his guard down and arrogantly believe that no hidden arrows could hurt him.

Being low-key can sometimes save lives.

"Shen Yuan!" Xie Chengze kicked away Sheng Shihuai who was struggling for life, picked up Shen Yuan and shouted, "Imperial Physician! Where's the Imperial Physician! Go call the Imperial Physician!"

"Shen Yuan, hold on a little longer, don't die!"

Xie Chengze looked at Shen Yuan's white clothes covered in blood, his face becoming more and more panicked. He hugged the man tightly into his arms and covered his abdomen with both hands to stop the bleeding. "I'm late, I'm late!"

"How could that be? Your Highness's return was beyond my expectation... And, fortunately, I have you..."

Saved my parents.

Shen Yuan's consciousness became increasingly dizzy. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, raised his hand with a gentle smile and wanted to touch his face, but when he saw the fair face and his bloody hands, his fingertips shrank slightly, not wanting to dirty this pure white face.

Since he was so unwilling to sacrifice human life, he must be afraid of blood. How could he scare him with his hands covered in blood?

Seeing this, Xie Chengze quickly held the back of his hand, put his hand on his face, and begged, "Shen Yuan, don't die, I'm scared..."

He had been prepared for sacrifices in the palace coup, but he had never been prepared for his death, so he was not allowed to die!

“Don’t be afraid…” Shen Yuan closed his eyes slightly, leaning on the young man’s chest, listening to his rapid heartbeat, his voice getting smaller and smaller, “There will always be this day, but… I can’t continue to accompany you in the future…”

"Shut up!" Seeing him close his eyes, Xie Chengze was so scared that he quickly reached out to peel his eyelids. Tears were pouring out of his eyes as he shouted angrily, "Don't close your eyes! Don't fall asleep! You won't be able to wake up if you fall asleep! If you dare to close your eyes, I will slap you! Don't think I won't do it!"

Shen Yuan: ...

Xie Chengze, you really ruin the atmosphere.

"Where is the imperial physician! Why hasn't he come yet!" Xie Chengze shouted at the top of his voice, looking around with bloodshot eyes.

The first imperial physician finally came crawling over. After seeing the injuries on Shen Yuan's body, he felt his pulse and frowned.

This injury is too serious.

Although the wound on the chest was deliberately offset, the blood loss was too severe and the abdominal cavity was a mess. If the green sword was inserted into the abdominal cavity, it might be able to stop the bleeding, but the green sword was pulled out, which made the situation even worse. The Imperial Hospital was too far away from here, and time was delayed for so long...

It can be said that there is no hope.

Seeing the doctor's worried look, Xie Chengze couldn't help but yelled angrily, "What are you still standing there for! Do it!"

The imperial physician quickly said yes, took out a ginseng slice from the medical box and put it in Shen Yuan's mouth. Then he pressed the bleeding hole, took out a medicine bottle and sprinkled medicine powder on the bleeding area.

But Shen Yuan's complexion became worse and worse. The imperial physician was so anxious that he was sweating. "Your Highness, Lord Shen is seriously injured."

"What do you mean?" Xie Chengze was furious and was very annoyed by the imperial physician's half-truth.

"Sir Shen..." the imperial physician said stiffly, "I'm afraid there's nothing we can do to save him."

"You're talking nonsense! Think hard! I don't believe you have no solution!" Xie Chengze hugged Shen Yuan tightly and roared angrily, "If you can't cure him, I want all of you to be buried with him!"

"Your Highness, Lord Shen's injury is indeed too serious, but it is not beyond treatment, unless..." The imperial physician paused, "unless it is a life-saving pill, a life-saving pill from the Yufu Palace."

Xie Chengze was stunned for a moment, and then became dazed.

That life-saving pill...has been fed to Emperor Jian.

"Besides the life-saving pill, is there any other way?" Xie Chengze came to his senses and asked immediately, his eyes full of bloodshot, staring at the imperial physician.

The imperial physician knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Highness, I really have no other options. Why don't you ask other imperial physicians?"

If he had known he would have to take on such a tough task, he would have slowed down when coming here!

At this time, other imperial doctors arrived one after another and stepped forward to feel Shen Yuan's pulse, but they all shook their heads and sighed.

"A bunch of trash!" Xie Chengze slammed his hands hard on the ground, not knowing whether he was talking about the imperial physician or punishing himself.

I knew so...

What would have happened if I had known this earlier?

Can he really choose between Shen Yuan and Emperor Jian?

No matter who the life-saving pill is given to, it is equivalent to him indirectly killing another person.

"Shen Yuan, don't sleep..." Seeing Shen Yuan closed his eyes again, Xie Chengze tried to pull his eyelids again, but it seemed to be of no use. He could only cruelly poke Shen Yuan's wound and force him to open his eyes again out of pain.

"Keep thinking for me! Which minister has a panacea? No matter what method you use, you must save him!"

The doctors looked at each other with worried faces, racking their brains to think of someone who had a panacea, fearing that they would lose their heads if they couldn't think of one. Several old doctors also thought of the life-saving pill that Concubine Hua had taken in the past, and couldn't help but say, "Perhaps, Concubine Rou of Yufu Palace can give up the life-saving pill?"

The first imperial physician also looked at Xie Chengze, and suddenly remembered that he had just made this suggestion, but the Second Prince seemed unmoved.

Could it be that the Second Prince doesn't want to save Lord Shen?

At this time, Doctor Zhang slowly spoke up and answered everyone's questions, "The life-saving pill has been fed to His Majesty."

Unfortunately, the life-saving pill only allowed His Majesty to live for a few days before His Majesty died suddenly...

The imperial doctors suddenly realized something and became worried again.

Looking at the timid expressions of the imperial doctors who couldn't think of a solution, Xie Chengze began to tremble all over. Even though he knew he shouldn't vent his anger on these imperial doctors, he couldn't stop feeling uncomfortable and scared as he felt the body in his arms getting colder.

Don't leave him here alone...

He was really scared. He was scared that after losing Shen Yuan, he would no longer be able to tell anyone about his origins. He would have to hide all the secrets by himself and stay carefully in this world that did not belong to him.

People are always more dependent on their own kind, and isn't the reborn Shen Yuan the same kind as him?

He didn't want to lose his only kind.

Just when Xie Chengze was almost in despair, a young and clean voice suddenly sounded.

"I'll do it, I'll do it--!"
