"What I mean is that Your Highness is still exuding the aura of a king even though you are in prison.”Ning Ruqiu said calmly. It seemed that Si Tingye's life in prison was really good. Even the blanket he used was similar to the items in the Imperial Residence.
"Now that you see this king in dire straits, you seem to be very happy.”Si Tingye whispered into Ning Ruqiu's ear. His hot breath brushed past her ear and tickled her.
Ning Ruqiu pushed Si Tingye away." It's better for Your Highness to keep a distance from me. If others see us, they might spread the news that Your Highness has a good relationship with Long Yang."”
After Ning Ruqiu finished speaking, she looked at Si Tingye meaningfully, as if she was suspecting that he really had a hobby in that area.
Si Tingye's eyes narrowed slightly, and he seemed to be able to see a dangerous glint in them. This woman always had the ability to provoke him.
"If you only want to come here to see this king make a fool of himself, you can leave now.”Si Tingye said coldly, deliberately ignoring the strange feeling in his heart.
"I do want to leave, but the entire wangfu is going to be executed because of the crime of wangye murdering the emperor. I don't want to end up like this.”It was rare for Ning Ruqiu to have a calm conversation with Si Tingye, so the atmosphere between the two was quite good.
Si Tingye naturally knew what had happened in the Prince's mansion. He did not expect this woman to not only not leave, but also have the guts to come here.
The so-called Heavenly Prison was for criminals who committed heinous crimes, especially murderers. They had at least ten lives on their backs. The reason why they locked him up here was probably because they hoped that something unexpected would happen.
"So, your highness, can you tell me why you wanted to harm the emperor? If you do that, I can at least die in peace.”Ning Ruqiu did not believe that Si Tingye would do such a thing, but if someone framed him, who would have the ability to kill the dignified King Ye of Great Hong Kingdom?
"Do you think this king would do such a thing?”Si Tingye had never cared about what kind of accusations those people had placed on him, but for some reason, Ning Ruqiu's suspicion made him feel a surge of anger.
Ning Ruqiu only coldly replied," I'm sure Your Highness knows whether you've done it or not. However, I heard General Lan say that the Emperor is currently unconscious. If he wakes up, I'm afraid that whether or not His Highness has plotted against the Emperor is another matter, right?”
"It seems that you have a good relationship with Lan Mo.”Si Tingye's expression suddenly darkened, and his tone was clearly cold.
"Speaking of which, I've only met General Lan twice, but he always helped me.”Ning Ruqiu completely ignored Si Tingye's anger and did not even hesitate to make it even more intense.
Upon hearing this, Si Tingye pulled Ning Ruqiu into his arms, a faint smile on his face." Ning Ruqiu, don't forget whose woman you are. If I find out that you've done anything to betray me, you'll know the price you have to pay for angering me.”
Ning Ruqiu snorted coldly." Your Highness can't even protect himself now. It's really hard for Your Highness to still care about these matters of love.”
Si Tingye ignored Ning Ruqiu's sarcasm and hugged her closer to his body. He couldn't help but feel his body heating up. He couldn't help but say," This Prince suddenly has something to do."”
Ning Ruqiu's eyes were cold and she couldn't help but say sarcastically," Didn't His Highness say that he wouldn't force me again? Could it be that his highness 'words didn't count?”
Ning Ruqiu raised her head slightly and happened to bump into Si Tingye.| She pretended to be calm and tried her best to suppress the throbbing in her heart as she looked into Si Tingye's eyes.
Si Tingye quickly let go of Ning Ruqiu and said with a half-smile," This Prince doesn't like to force people. This Prince will wait until the day you're willing."”
"Your highness likes to wait, but those innocent people in the wang fu can't wait, and neither can my servant girls.”Ning Ruqiu recalled Xiao Tao and Zixi's worried eyes when she left the prince's mansion, especially Xiao Tao. She was the only person in the world who would care about Ning Ruqiu, and she was also the person she absolutely could not leave alone, so she had to take action.
"You mean this king is inferior to those people?”Si Tingye's tone carried an obvious threat as he stared at Ning Ruqiu with burning eyes.
Ning Ruqiu replied coldly," I've always believed in equality. If Your Highness thinks that you're superior, why bother with a little girl like me?"”
"Good, good, good! Tell me, what do you want?”
"I want to cure the emperor." Ning Ruqiu's answer was still the same. This was the best solution he felt so far.
When Si Tingye heard this, his first reaction was similar to Lan Mo's." Woman, you're really daydreaming!”
Ning Ruqiu suppressed the anger in her heart. As a doctor, what she hated the most was being questioned about her medical skills.
"Your Highness thinks that I'm indulging in wishful thinking, but he doesn't know that I'm very likely to have a well-thought-out plan. Besides, how can I know if I won't try?”
"Ning Ruqiu, the one who is unconscious now is the current Emperor. Are you planning to use the dragon body as your test subject?”Si Tingye's eyes flashed with a complicated light as he scolded sternly.
"So many doctors can't cure the emperor's illness, isn't that using the dragon body as a test subject?”Ning Ruqiu said without giving in. Moreover, her only hope now was the Emperor.
"You are just a woman, how can this king be at ease to hand over the Emperor's life to you to treat?”
" Hahaha..." Ning Ruqiu's mocking laughter echoed throughout the entire prison cell. She looked at Si Tingye with disdain." It seems that His Highness only treats women as accessories to men. Helping a husband and raising children is what a woman should do the most, just like those women in your residence who fought to get your favor. But does Your Highness know that if I wanted to kill you now, it would be as easy as flipping my hand!”It was just that they might have to die together.
" What do you mean?!" Si Tingye grabbed Ning Ruqiu's neck and pushed her against the cold wall.
The disdain in Ning Ruqiu's eyes didn't change, and the corners of her lips curled into a mocking arc." It seems that Your Highness still cherishes his life. Since that's the case, why don't Your Highness consider my words? Perhaps His Highness could leave this shabby prison.”
"Woman, do you think you can do anything on your own?”Si Tingye let go of Ning Ruqiu's hand. If he had used a little more force, she would have died in front of him.
"Does Your Highness always question the abilities of others like this? I'm not the one in jail now.”Ning Ruqiu suddenly regretted talking nonsense with Si Tingye. She might have already found a way to cure the Emperor using this time.
"You always have your reasons. This king has indeed underestimated you.”Si Tingye's gaze lingered on Ning Ruqiu's face for a while. He suddenly thought of something and his tone softened.
"Since it's in the past, can wangye tell me the emperor's symptoms in detail?”Ning Ruqiu's serious expression made Si Tingye feel that trusting this woman once wasn't a bad thing.
Si Tingye told Ning Ruqiu everything he knew about the emperor.
Ning Ruqiu frowned. Things might be more troublesome than she had imagined.
"Are you sure that the emperor's symptoms have changed like this?”Ning Ruqiu asked calmly.
"Yes, are you suspecting that this king deliberately told you the wrong information?”Si Tingye raised his eyebrows and pretended to be unhappy.
"Your Highness, I just want to have a more accurate grasp of the patient's condition. If the conditions permit, I hope to see the Emperor in person.”Ning Ruqiu already had some guesses in her heart, but she needed more evidence to further confirm it.
"You already know what illness the emperor has?”
"I suspect that the Emperor has been poisoned.”
"Poison?" A few people suddenly appeared in Si Tingye's mind. If it was really poison, then it must have been related to one or more of them.
"If it was poisoned, why didn't so many famous doctors find out?”Si Tingye looked at Ning Ruqiu. He needed her to give him a reasonable explanation.
"This is very simple, because the emperor was indeed sick before, but the symptoms were different later. Presumably, someone deliberately poisoned the emperor.”Ning Ruqiu calmly analyzed. Rather than saying that someone wanted to kill the emperor, it was not just that someone was targeting Si Tingye.
"Do you have a way to cure the emperor?”
"Wangye, I'm not a god who can bring people back to life with a wave of my hand. I can only do my best to save people.”
Based on the symptoms described by Si Tingye, the poison was about to seep into his internal organs. Whether or not he could be saved wasn't just a matter of medical skills. It might even require luck and a miracle.
Si Tingye understood the meaning behind Ning Ruqiu's words and said," I'll arrange for you to enter the palace to meet the emperor.”
"I'm afraid your highness has to make arrangements quickly, otherwise the entire wangfu will be buried with you.”Ning Ruqiu said coldly.
Si Tingye pointed behind Ning Ruqiu." Huo Qing will lead the way for you."”
Ning Ruqiu turned to look at the living person behind her. Since when was he standing there? She actually didn't feel anything at all!
"Remember, be careful!" Si Tingye said seriously. The moment their eyes met, Ning Ruqiu felt her heart skip a beat.
"Your Highness, are you afraid that I will cause you to die earlier?”Ning Ruqiu curled her lips and sneered, as if that moment of throbbing was just an illusion.
"That depends on whether you have the ability!”
"Then please wait and see, Your Highness!" Ning Ruqiu said confidently. The brilliance in her eyes made Si Tingye feel as if this was the real Ning Ruqiu.
Si Tingye looked at Ning Ruqiu's back with a complicated expression. The imperial prison quickly returned to its usual dead silence.# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 56PM #
