Emperor, I Am Brutal - C99

Qin Shuo immediately put down the table to interrogate the man, and anxiously followed Zhi Lan to Hu Xiao’s room.

Just as she stepped into the house, Zhi Lan stopped him.

“Shh.”

He sensed that there was something wrong with the smell in the room. When he left just now, it was only the smell of medicinal dregs. However, there was an additional fragrance in the air.

Unable to care about the master and servant ceremony, Zhi Lan grabbed Qin Shuo and moved him behind herself.

Caught off guard, Zhi Lan was grabbed behind him. Just as Qin Shuo was about to get angry, he looked at Zhi Lan and immediately calmed down.

They looked at each other, then looked towards the far away bed where Hu Xiao seemed to be fine. Qin Shuo could not help but heave a sigh of relief, just as he wanted to let Zhi Lan follow behind him, he saw that Zhi Lan had already rushed to the side.

As if there was someone behind the act, Qin Shuo was just about to yell at Zhi Lan not to do it like that, but he stood there, frozen in place.

The man did not expect Zhi Lan to suddenly attack, and was instantly struck in the chest by Zhi Lan’s palm, the two of them started fighting.

It was the first time she found out that Zhi Lan also knew martial arts, no wonder Hu Xiao was so arrogant, if the people beside him were all good at martial arts, then what was there to be afraid of? But now, Qin Shuo was busy watching the fight between Zhi Lan and the assassin, she anxiously walked over to Hu Xiao’s bed.

Carefully, she placed her hand under Hu Xiao’s nose. Fortunately, if they had come back late, Hu Xiao would not have been able to stay safe and sound.

“Someone come!” Catch the assassin! ”

When Zhi Lan saw that Qin Shuo had already protected Hu Xiao, she shouted loudly.

Hearing that, the black clothed man’s attacks became even fiercer, as though Zhi Lan was no match for him.

“Your Majesty, your servant’s bodyguard has arrived late!”

Just now, Zhao Qiyan was shut outside the house by Zhi Lan and Qin Shuo. Although he heard strange noises coming from inside the house, he did not see anyone shouting, so he waited outside. After hearing Zhi Lan’s words, he did not care about anything else, he kicked open the door, then rushed to Zhi Lan’s side to deal with the black clothed man.

The black clothed man had been struck by Zhi Lan just now when he was caught off guard, causing him to be unable to respond in time, much less need for Zhi Lan and Zhao Qiyan to work together.

Soon, they were subdued by the two.

“Drag him away and lock him up. Zhao Qiyan, bring someone with you to see if he still has companions. He actually dares to assassinate the Queen in the empress’s room. This person must wait for the empress to wake up and decide what to do!”

In just a few short days, he had been ambushed one after another. This had never happened before!

“Your Majesty, the imperial physician is here.”

Wei Shi trembled as he walked forward and said to the furious Qin Shuo.

“Get him in here!”

After glancing at Wei Shi, he instructed.

The imperial physician had long heard Qin Shuo’s angry words, and immediately stopped using Wei Shi’s summons. He anxiously ran in, and after preparing everything, he started to check Hu Xiao’s pulse.

They knew every single detail about it since the day Empress had returned from her illness. As a result, they respected the Queen more, afraid that any slight neglect would cause Empress to vent her anger.

Especially when they found out that the Empress was lying here because of His Majesty, they did not dare to breathe out, as they were afraid of angering the emperor who was sitting next to the Empress’s bed.

“How is it?”

Seeing the imperial physician’s increasingly ugly expression, Qin Shuo felt a bit of fear in his heart.

“Did the Empress just inhale something?”

The Imperial Physician asked carefully. The Queen looked like she was poisoned, but wasn’t there always guards in Empress? How could she be poisoned? Could it be those pills? No, no, no! Impossible, in order to let the Empress get better faster, he had been keeping an eye on him the entire time, she definitely would not make a mistake!

“Just now, that black clothed man …”

[That man actually did it!]

Speaking of which, the imperial physician understood what else. Someone must have sent people to assassinate the empress while she was still unconscious!

It really was hard to be the queen. If she wasn’t careful and got assassinated, it wouldn’t hurt too much and she would lose her life.

“Luckily I discovered it in time, I can mix a few other medicinal ingredients into the formula for the Empress.”

He wiped off the sweat on his forehead and said.

Fortunately, he was in time, otherwise, even the Great Firmament Deity would not be able to save this Empress if she was dragged out for another two hours.

“You go together.”

Qin Shuo glanced at the imperial physician kneeling on the ground and said to Zhi Lan, who was also kneeling at the side.

“Yes.”

Zhi Lan had the same intention, but now it seemed too unsafe. If there was an assassin inside the house, then they would definitely not know what happened if someone did anything to him while he was frying the medicine. It would be better to watch on the side with relief.

Seeing the house that had quietened down, Qin Shuo turned around and looked at Hu Xiao who was still sleeping soundly, feeling a little helpless. [How come I didn’t notice anything just now?] If the two had not come in time, would Hu Xiao have fallen asleep like this?

Seeing that Hu Xiao was having trouble sleeping soundly, Qin Shuo hesitated for a moment, then picked up Hu Xiao’s head and placed it on her lap, as if she was afraid that Hu Xiao would not be used to it, until she saw the painful expression on her face turn peaceful.

had never seen someone like this before. He glanced inside the house, then turned and closed the door.

“Eunuch Wei, how is Empress now?”

Soong Xuan was thinking that Hu Xiao should wake up by now, hence she came to take a look. However, when she saw that the door was closed, a trace of doubt flashed across Soong Xuan’s heart.

“Oh, so it’s Miss Soong. Empress is a lot better now, but now that we don’t see anyone, I’m afraid that you’ve provoked Feng Han. Please return, Miss Soong.”

Looking at Soong Xuan who looked a little anxious, Wei Shi was secretly happy. This girl was actually considerate.

“If that’s the case, please forgive Xuan’er for disturbing you. May I trouble Eunuch Wei, Empress, to inform Xuan’er when you wake up.”

With Hu Xiao’s character, if she was awake, she would definitely not not see anyone, or if she did not see him, then it was likely that Hu Xiao had met with some big trouble, but she was unable to help.

“I, Wei, have thanked you for Miss Soong’s kind intentions. If Empress wakes up, I will definitely inform you about your visit.”

After taking the silver from Soong Xuan’s hands, Wei Shi’s tone was even more intimate than before.

“Then Xuan’er thanks Eunuch Wei.”

Soong Xuan turned towards Wei Shi, looked at the tightly shut door behind Wei Shi, and turned to leave.

He pinched the silver in his sleeves, Soong Xuan had thought about it, Soong Xuan had only seen the Empress once after hearing about it, why is Soong Xuan so concerned about the Queen now?

“Eunuch Wei, Imperial Consort Xue invites you.”

Just as his mind was wandering, someone said in Wei Shi’s ear.
