Chapter 142: Strangled to death
Xu Chongxin's words had just been exported, but it was too late. Almost at the same time, Jin Feng's feet exerted force, and he used all his strength to counteract that sword qi. As soon as Jin Feng's feet stepped on the red crescent sword qi, the red and blue forces collided instantly, and then the red crescent moon was trampled and bent towards the ground.
Only "boom——! There was a loud bang, just behind the carriage, the sword qi hit the ground, and immediately kicked up dust and snow on the ground, and the huge shock wave exploded on the ground several times in a row, and several cracks actually cracked on the ground.
This was followed by "Bang! With a bang, the back panel of the speeding carriage was immediately punctured, and the wooden plank was destroyed and shattered in an instant. The bitter cold wind carried the wood chips into sharp blades, and although the guards in the carriage reacted quickly and pulled Ruxu to pounce on the bottom plate, the debris still grazed Ruxu's face, leaving a bloody trail.
The carriage galloped down the road, followed by great destruction in its tracks, and swept in a frenzy.
Although Jin Feng used all his strength to bend the red crescent, he was not lightly injured, and his legs were numb for a while and then he lost consciousness. The shock wave behind her slammed down, and a huge thrust rushed towards the entire carriage, and she and Xu Chongxin were inevitably hit hard.
Xu Chongxin made a decision, stepped on the roof of the carriage with his feet, embedded the soles of his shoes into the roof plate, and then stretched out his hand to quickly pull Jin Feng back, spun in the air a few times, and then the two hugged each other tightly.
The thrust hit violently and chased after the carriage and the people on the roof all the way. At this time, Xu Chongxin and Jin Feng had already been slapped to the front of the carriage, and Xu Chongxin's feet embedded in the top plate were pushed back several steps, drawing a shallow ditch.
A heart-piercing pain came from my ankle. Just at the last moment, Xu Chongxin immediately took Jin Feng's hand, sent her downward, and threw her into the carriage. Then he couldn't support it anymore, he fell off the carriage and instantly disappeared into the wind and snow on the ground behind him.
"Ah Xin!" Jin Feng shouted hoarsely. Her eyes were tingling and she couldn't open them, but she already realized that Xu Chongxin had sacrificed himself to save her.
Gradually, the shock wave behind him slowly weakened. Jin Feng struggled to get up from the carriage and looked out at the endless night behind the carriage. By this time the two sides of the carriage had been opened, and only the whirring wind whistled by.
"Ah Xin!" Jin Feng shouted heartbreakingly, and then knelt down weakly. Her injuries were not light, her legs had been torn open countless times, her shoulders and back were torn, her flesh had been cut, and blood was pouring in.
"Golden Wind!" Ruxu immediately grabbed Jin Feng's arm, but his hand was warm and sticky, "You're injured!" ”
"Help, save ...... Ah Xin ...... then Jin Feng's consciousness gradually blurred, and he passed out in a daze.
Seeing this, he thumped his chest hard. She blamed herself in her heart, if she had thought more carefully and brought more people, maybe this situation would not have happened.
At this time, the carriage had already entered the territory of Qiyang City, and the people in Six Feet Lane looked at them gloomily.
"Send someone to keep an eye on them, waiting for an opportunity to strike." The leader of the killer was dressed in a black power suit, and his long hair was flying in the air.
In the Chang'an Hall of the harem, Yulu's eyelids kept jumping. Ruri had been gone for three days, and she remembered what happened three days ago.
That day, she gave the concubine a decoction, and overheard them as if they were discussing who to kill, and then Liuli took the order and went out. Yulu sensed that something was wrong, handed the decoction to the lop ear on the side, and chased after Liuli herself.
Ruri seems to have noticed that someone is following, but she doesn't care. Yulu followed her all the way to the back garden, but she didn't know what unknown kung fu she had done, and she disappeared in an instant.
She was shocked in her heart, disappearing so silently, leaving no trace, which shows that Liuli's kung fu is very good, and she is by no means an idle person. No wonder she ignored her own tracking, which didn't take her seriously at all. is so arrogant and arrogant, it must be absolutely confident in his own martial arts.
But what was she going to do? Gyokuro frowned deeply.
His thoughts flew back to the present, and he led the medicinal herbs back to the Chang'an Hall and said to Yulu.
"Imperial Physician Zhou said that Gongzi has gone to Qiyang in the past few days, and told us to pay more attention to the movements in the palace." The lop puts down the medicine basket.
"Qi Yang?" Yulu secretly felt that something was wrong, and wandered uneasily in the courtyard, and finally couldn't help but go to the Tai Hospital in person.
Back to Qiyang's side. It was already dawn, and after they were allowed to be settled, he sent a letter back to Kyoto to give Chikiri. The city camp army of Qiyang responded to Xu's order and went to the deep forest to find Xu Chongxin and Jiang Tou'er.
Ruxu sat in front of the golden wind bed, feeling vaguely uneasy in his heart. At this time, someone came to inform her, saying that Dr. Jiang had woken up.
Even though he was exhausted, Ruxu still got up and went to see Imperial Doctor Jiang. At this time, due to the bumps and impacts last night, the wound on his leg gradually died, and now he is dying on the edge of the bed panting.
"Imperial Doctor Jiang, in Xia Jin Ruxu, is the advisor of the Southern Prince." Ruxu first bowed and helped him sit up.
"You ...... Saved me, and I should have been grateful. But if you hadn't insisted on investigating what had happened back then, you wouldn't have led the killer into the jungle...... Pity my young son......" Imperial Doctor Jiang said intermittently.
"What happened back then?" Ruxu grabbed the handle, "What happened back then?" ”
"This is my agreement with Lao Wu, and I said that I would take it to the grave...... I will never go back! You don't need to ask me, I'm not long before I can fulfill this vow. Imperial Physician Jiang closed his eyes.
"Old Wu?" After thinking about it, he remembered that the court judgment that judged the case at that time was surnamed Wu, and the "old Wu" in the mouth of Imperial Doctor Jiang should refer to the court judgment of Wu, who had been dead for many years.
"Wu Yuan sentenced him to have been dead for many years." Ruxu said lightly, "Not long after the incident, there was a fire in his home, and all 20 members of his family were killed, and no one survived. ”
"You...... What did you say? Imperial Physician Jiang couldn't believe it and coughed violently.
"Whether his death was man-made or a natural disaster, I think the Imperial Doctor should know in his heart." Ruxu said.
"No wonder he urged me to resign and go into hiding...... It turned out that I was afraid that those killers would also find me......" Imperial Doctor Jiang rested for a while, and there were words in his mouth, beating his feet and pounding his chest for a long time.
"Sooner or later, the events of that year will be revealed, but sooner or later." Ru Xu Ling's voice was sharp, "In the verdict back then, it was you who wrote that Concubine Xiang Niangniang was 'dying of an emergency', which was obviously perfunctory and concealed. This is a disgrace to medical ethics and morality. Could it be that Imperial Physician Jiang wants to go to hell with this sin? ”
After reading the verdict, Ru Xu once asked Zhou Ziheng a little bit about the details of this Imperial Physician Jiang, and had a general understanding of Imperial Physician Jiang's life. Imperial Physician Jiang is a superstitious feudal old man, kind but stubborn.
"You ......" Imperial Physician Jiang was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"Think about your son, who died last night, if you go down there to see him in the future, will he complain that you kept the secret and didn't tell it, and in the end he was killed? Concubine Xiang Niangniang knows what to do, and she will definitely complain about you. ”
Imperial Physician Jiang's gloomy eyes stared at Ruxu, and after some ideological struggle, he decided to tell the truth, "Alas, the dying person, I have nothing to hide." ”
"Back then, in the cold palace, Concubine Xiang's illness was not an emergency at all, it was her postpartum loss of qi and blood, and she was strangled to death." Imperial Doctor Jiang said.
Just such a sentence, Ruxu was stunned. The amount of information in it was huge, and she immediately asked, "What did you say?" Strangled? Who did it? ”
"I don't know exactly. When I received the news and went, Concubine Xiang was already out of breath. What happened in the middle is unknown. Imperial Doctor Jiang said, "At that time, Lao Wu was still a court judge, and after examining the corpse, he calculated with me for a while, and decided to keep this matter a secret. ”
"In the final analysis, the emperor cares most about face. The truth of this matter really involves a lot, no matter who does it in the palace, it can be regarded as a scandal of the heavenly family. So if we rashly tell the truth to the emperor, once the emperor becomes angry, I'm afraid that Lao Wu and I will not be able to protect our heads. Imperial Physician Jiang coughed a few times, and his face suddenly turned pale.
Ruxu was silent for a while, and then asked, "You just said that Niangniang lost both qi and blood after giving birth?" Could it be that the mother gave birth to a child before she died? ”
"I've been practicing medicine for thirty years, I'm sure of that." Imperial Physician Jiang was already struggling to speak.
"So, the child in Niangniang's womb actually survived?" Ruxu was surprised and muttered to herself, "But where is that kid now?" ”
Just such a sentence, Ruxu was stunned. The amount of information in it was huge, and she immediately asked, "What did you say?" Strangled? Who did it? ”
"I don't know exactly. When I received the news and went, Concubine Xiang was already out of breath. What happened in the middle is unknown.
