Chapter 692 The truth behind resurrection
The lights in the Imperial Hospital were still on at this time, and all the imperial doctors had not left yet. More than a dozen people sat together listening to Yan Shu talk about human anatomy, and everyone listened attentively.
"Your Majesty is here!"
Upon hearing the report from the eunuch outside, the imperial doctors all showed expressions of shock.
"Why is Your Majesty coming to the Imperial Hospital so late?"
A moment later, a handsome man in a dark-colored brocade robe with a dragon pattern walked into the room, and all the imperial doctors hurriedly stood up and knelt down.
"Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"
Jiang Ci glanced inside the room, his gaze finally landing on Yan Shu.
Seeing that everyone knelt down, Yan Shu immediately followed suit and Jiang Ci helped her up.
"It's past the time to leave the court, why haven't you left yet, my dear ministers?"
Imperial Physician Cai stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, recently the officials of the Imperial Hospital have been learning medical skills from Miss Cui. They are busy seeing the nobles during the day and only have some free time after the office hours."
Jiang Ci walked to the first seat and sat down, with a faint smile on his face but a cold look in his eyes.
"I am very pleased that you are so dedicated to your work, but most of you are elderly and you should pay more attention to your health. If you want to consult Miss Cui, please do so during your shift. After the office is dismissed, you should all go home."
Imperial Physician Cai was full of doubts. Since he ascended the throne, the new emperor had made many outstanding achievements in the previous dynasty. Compared with the previous emperor, the new emperor could be regarded as a diligent emperor. But His Majesty even wanted to ask the imperial doctors to work overtime. Isn't that a bit too worrying?
"Your Majesty is right. I will manage the division of labor among the various departments and try to finish all matters during my shift. Although Your Majesty is in good health, he is usually worried about state affairs and official duties. You should take good care of your health."
"I understand, you guys go back."
"promise!"
After the imperial doctors left one after another, Jiang Ci looked towards Yan Shu with dissatisfaction.
Seeing that the word "unhappy" was written all over someone's face, Yan Shu smiled and said, "Why did you come here in person?"
"Someone is so happy here that he has forgotten that I am waiting for my wife to come back home."
Jiang Ci stood up and walked to Yan Shu, then held her in his arms.
"I kind of regret having you come to the Imperial Hospital. Those old guys are trying to snatch you from me."
Yan Shu reached out and hugged him back, resting his face in his arms.
"Although the imperial doctors are experts in diagnosis and prescription, surgery is new to them. They are all curious about it, so it is inevitable to exchange some experiences with them."
Jiang Ci said: "There will be plenty of time to teach them in the future. You should leave your evening time to me."
Yan Shu's smile froze slightly, and he changed the subject: "I'm hungry, let's go back."
Jiang Ci noticed that Yan Shu seemed to be in a low mood, so he held her face and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yan Shu showed a smile.
"Maybe I'm too tired, plus I didn't get enough rest last night..."
Thinking of how someone had tortured her until midnight last night, Yan Shu said firmly, "I'm going to rest in the space tonight."
I can't sleep in the same bed with him anymore. He looks so kind and gentle on the outside, but why is he so wild in bed...
Before, she was attracted by his beauty, but now she ate too much and her body couldn't bear it anymore.
Jiang Ci smiled, held her hand, brought it to his lips and kissed it gently.
"Okay, let's go to the space to sleep together tonight."
Yan Shu: "It's not us, it's me."
Jiang Ci hugged Yan Shu and patted her back gently to comfort her.
"Jiaojiao, don't leave me. I promise not to do anything tonight, okay?"
Yan Shu curled his lips and said, "I don't believe you. This guy's credibility in bed is almost zero." She decided that after they had dinner together, she would slip away.
The two returned to Chongzheng Hall, and Yingqi had been waiting at the door for a long time.
"Your Majesty, the people from Qingyun Mountain have returned."
Jiang Ci said in a deep voice: "Have you caught the person?"
"It has been brought back to Dengfeng Tower."
Jiang Ci didn't ask any more questions and pulled Yan Shu back into the palace.
"Ah Ci, who is coming from Qingyun Mountain?"
Jiang Ci looked at Yan Shu: "Xuan Heng, Xuan Kong, Qin Chuan, Nangong Yan and the others are here."
Yan Shu was a little surprised. The court had been gradually stabilizing recently and the capital was relatively peaceful. Why did people from Qingyun Mountain suddenly come to the capital?
"But what happened?"
Jiang Ci pulled Yan Shu to sit at the dining table: "Let's eat first."
Yan Shu picked up the chopsticks and took two bites: "I'm very curious, just tell me."
Jiang Ci spoke slowly, "It's about the resurrection of Wuji Yaodao and Yuan An. I sent people to Qingyun Mountain and found their bodies. Grandmasters Xuan Heng and Xuan Kong thought something was fishy, so they followed Qin Chuan and Nangong Yan to the capital to investigate the identities of these two people. After Yuan An committed suicide on the day of the mutiny, Wuji Yaodao disappeared. The people of Qingyun Mountain have been looking for him for the past few months, and finally caught him today."
"Have you found out their true identities?"
Jiang Ci shook his head: "We will know the specific situation when we go to Dengfeng Tower."
Yan Shu said, "I'll go with you later."
Jiang Ci nodded happily: "Okay."
After dinner, Jiang Ci and Yan Shu left the palace together and headed straight for Dengfeng Tower.
Dengfeng Tower is an octagonal pagoda with seven floors, only slightly shorter than the Qixing Pavilion. This tower was built more than two hundred years ago and still looks magnificent today. The area inside the tower is very large and is home to monks. Previously, this place was mainly used to develop elixirs for the old emperor.
The two entered Dengfeng Tower, and Qin Chuan and Nangong Yan came out to greet them immediately after hearing the news.
"Qin Chuan pays respect to His Majesty!"
Jiang Ci stretched out a hand and helped Qin Chuan up: "Thank you for your hard work recently. Where is the demon Taoist?"
Qin Chuan said: "In the dungeon, the two uncles are personally guarding it."
"Take us there."
"Yes!"
Qin Chuan walked in front with Jiang Ci. Nangong Yan happily ran to Yan Shu and looked at Yan Shu for a while.
"I haven't seen you for more than two years. Shu'er has become more beautiful than ever!" No wonder someone can't stop thinking about her.
Yan Shu glanced at her bun and said with a smile, "I am still the same, but you look different. The heroic woman now seems to be more gentle. It seems that someone has taken good care of her. When did you get married?"
Nangong Yan glanced at Qin Chuan in front of her: "One year ago."
"I think Qin Chuan has feelings for you but doesn't realize it. I thought it would take some effort for him to win your heart."
Nangong Yan complained in a low voice: "If I hadn't taken the initiative, I'm afraid this blockhead wouldn't dare to admit his feelings for me. What about you? You and His Majesty are now a couple. I guess you will get married soon, right?"
Yan Shu was silent for a moment: "There are many things to do in the court now, so we are not in a hurry for the time being."
Nangong Yan joked, "I think your majesty is very anxious, but you are not."
Yan Shu smiled faintly and did not continue the topic.
