Chapter 30: Five more days to live
The Fan family delivered the grain to the city defense yamen, which alarmed the victims along the way. I don't know who instigated it, but someone rushed into the granary to grab the grain.

It happened that Ling Xi and the guards from the Yamen hadn't left yet, and a conflict broke out between them.

During the riot, someone broke the ceiling and pillars and buried everyone together.

Under the ruins, people kept screaming, but some people still took the opportunity to grab food instead of saving people.

"Help, help, help me..." A victim who was trying to grab food was pinned under a pillar. His head was covered with blood, and he grabbed a man's clothes and asked for help.

But instead of saving him, the man kicked him hard in the face.

"Go away! Don't delay me from grabbing food!"

After several consecutive kicks, the man's neck broke with a "crack" sound.

But the man didn't care about this. He struggled to pull out a bag of grain from the ruins, picked it up and threw it on his shoulder, turned around and ran away.

White light flashed.

Blood splatter.

A long sword pierced the man's chest.

Chen Qianzhe wore a mask, and his face was sprayed with blood. He was as sinister and bloody as a god of death, and he stared at the victims around him with a cold and cold look.

"The city defense yamen obeys the order! Do your best to save people and protect food for disaster relief!! If anyone dares to take the opportunity to grab food, he will be killed without mercy!!"

The victims who were rushing out with food on their hands and shoulders were stunned when they heard this order.

But the bold ones immediately shouted: "Don't listen to him. There are so many of us, but he is the only one. Each one of us can drown him with a drop of spit! Don't be afraid!"

Chen Qianzhe's wrist sank, and the long sword came out of his hand, stabbing through the man's heart and nailing the body to the ground.

He walked over slowly, grabbed the hilt of the sword, and pulled it out, wetting the corners of his clothes with flying blood.

"Who else!"

The blade of the sword swung horizontally, and blood dripped.

"Who else is not afraid of death? Just take action and I will help him!"

His voice was not loud, but there was no warmth at all. Every word was like a knife, piercing people's hearts.

"If there is no one, then put down the food you are carrying and save others!"

Fan Kang rushed forward and shouted angrily: "You people are really...this food was originally intended to be distributed to you to relieve you, but now you have messed up. If the censor makes any mistakes, you will not say that you will eat the disaster relief food." , just the crime of rioting is enough for you to dig up graves and raise corpses!"

Everyone, look at me and I look at you, hesitantly putting down the grain bag.

Fan Kang took the opportunity to fan the flames again and called the guards from the city defense yamen, and they all started to rescue people together.

……

When Ling Xi woke up from coma, she felt a special pain in the back of her head. She subconsciously raised her hand to touch it, but she screamed in pain.

"do not move!"

Chen Qianzhe ducked and pressed her shoulders.

"Your arm is broken. The royal doctor has cleaned the wound and reset the bones. It won't be a serious problem. Just rest."

"The imperial doctor?" Ling Xi closed her eyes: "Where can the imperial doctor come from in this barren mountain?"

"Let's go back to the palace!"

"……What!?"

Ling Xi suddenly opened her eyes and realized that everything around her had changed.

It turned out to be the tyrant's sleeping quarters.

And she slept on the same dragon bed that shocked the tyrant!

"How did we come back?"

She remembered that she was at the city defense yamen granary in Fancheng just now!
Chen Qianzhe sat next to her. He didn't wear a crown, but simply tied up his hair. His body under plain clothes looked much thinner than before. His eyes were red and his hair was messy, as if he had been ravaged for three days and three nights.

"You were injured, the wound was infected, and you were unconscious. I was afraid that something might happen to you, so I took you back to the capital overnight and let the imperial doctor diagnose you. It will be fine if you wake up."

"Your Majesty, is the girl awake? The soup here is ready. Drink it while it's hot. It's just right." Eunuch An came in carefully, carrying a bowl of medicine. "Aweng?"

"It'll be fine if the girl wakes up. Your Majesty, these days..."

"Ah Weng," Chen Qianzhe interrupted, "She's awake. You can take care of her for now and go to the library alone. There are still some things to deal with there."

Before leaving, she gave him a look.

Eunuch An nodded with contentment and put down the medicine cup: "Miss Ling, this medicine is very bitter. Your Majesty has asked someone to prepare sugar water. I will bring it to you."

Ling Xi sat up and found bruises all over her body. The fingers on her right hand were red and swollen due to a broken bone, and her nails were bleeding red.

"I was... injured quite seriously, right?"

She remembered that she was pushed down by the mob and was hit in the back of the head by a beam as soon as she got up. She didn't know what happened after that.

"I was not there when the girl was injured. However, the girl was injured and was in a coma for twelve days. The imperial doctors said that if the girl walked around the Palace of Hell, she would be lucky to be alive!"

Eunuch An didn't know what happened in Fancheng. He only knew that His Majesty returned to the palace as if he was crazy. He summoned all the imperial doctors and forced them to save people with knives on their necks.

At that time, Ling Xi was covered in injuries and was dying.

If His Majesty hadn't issued a death order, unable to save her and buried with the imperial doctors, she would probably have passed her first seven years by now.

However, His Majesty was not allowed to tell Ling Xi these things, so Eunuch An just told them in a vague sentence.

"Girl, I heard from Your Majesty that this trip went very smoothly. The food for disaster relief has basically been returned. With the support of the Fan family, the victims on the Shiliang River side can be basically controlled. Girl, you don't have to worry about this anymore. It’s a waste of time.”

Ling Xi drank the medicine and almost cried out in pain. She drank half a bowl of sugar water before she could hold it down.

"Miss Ling, these days when you were in coma, Ling Zaifu kept asking people. Now that you are awake, would you like me to send someone to reply?"

"Hmm, huh?" Ling Xi realized it later and reacted this time: "It takes a few days to get here from Fancheng... How long have I been unconscious?"

"Twelve days..."

"Twelve days?!"

Ling Xi shouted, almost spilling the sugar water.

Oh my god! !

Ling Xi realized something, her hands and feet were cold: "Today, today, what...number is today?"

"The sixth day of the lunar month, today is the sixth day of the lunar month, it is an auspicious day..."

"The sixth day of the lunar month?" Ling Xi sweated on his forehead and started to stutter when he spoke: "Eight, August, August...the sixth day of the lunar month?"

"Yes, it's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, it's an auspicious day!"

【How auspicious is this day! ? 】

【Ruined! 】

【Six days left! 】

【ah! !No, there are still five days left, and the sixth day will be...]

That’s it! !
Ling Xi couldn't sit still anymore: "Your Majesty, hiss..."

The broken bone in his arm hurt like tearing. He gasped in pain, but he couldn't care less.

"Where is Your Majesty?"

"Little study."

"..."

Chen Qianzhe was looking at something, and when he heard the movement, he turned his head slightly.

"Why are you up? You are still not feeling well and need to rest."

"Why are you still resting? I'm going to have my head cut off in a few days, and I might sleep forever then. Why not take a walk while I'm still alive?"
