Venomous Empress Reborn
Chapter 853 - 853 Showdown (6)
853 Showdown (6)
As Gao Yang took Pei Lang’s pulse, he said, “Prince Rui summoned me over to treat you, so I came over.” After taking Pei Lang’s pulse, he said, “Your situation is almost stable. However, Prince Ding tortured your legs heavily. Your legs are injured, so I have to acupuncture you. Otherwise, your legs will be crippled soon.”
Pei Lang was stunned. Fu Xiuyi was extremely ruthless to him. He seemed to hate the people who betrayed him very much. Although he did not take his life, that was probably because Fu Xiuyi was certain that he would die from the torture. In fact, if not for the fact he was saved, given the intensity of the torture, his kneecaps would have been dug out in the next few days.
Hearing Gao Yang’s words, even Pei Lang, who had always been calm, couldn’t help but feel like he had escaped the jaws of death.
“Fu Xiuyi is really ruthless.” Gao Yang took out a row of golden needles from the medical box and asked Pei Lang to sit still. He rolled up his pants and slowly started to perform acupuncture on him. As he performed it, he said, “I can’t tell from his appearance that he’s so ruthless.”
Pei Lang’s heart skipped a beat. Gao Yang was an official of Ming Qi after all, and he was an imperial physician who specialized in treating the royal family. However, he actually called Prince Ding by his name. Not only that, but when he mentioned Fu Xiuyi, his tone was not respectful at all, as if he was evaluating an unimportant person. With Gao Yang’s status, this behavior was too strange.
Gao Yang did not even look up and was focused on performing acupuncture on Pei Lang. He suddenly said, “Do you want to ask what kind of relationship I have with Prince Rui?”
Pei Lang paused for a moment before saying with a smile, “Are you willing to tell me?”
“To be honest, I’m Prince Rui’s man,” Gao Yang said.
This time, it was Pei Lang’s turn to remain silent. He was surprised by Gao Yang’s identity, but what surprised him the most was that Gao Yang actually told him this secret so bluntly. Then what was Gao Yang now? A spy sent by the Daliang Dynasty to Ming Qi? What was the point of doing this? To poison Emperor Wen Hui?
Or was he bribed by Prince Rui and betrayed?
“Are you surprised and curious why I told you such a big secret?” Gao Yang continued, as if he could guess what Pei Lang was thinking.
“That’s right.” Pei Lang said frankly, “I indeed don’t understand.”
“What’s so difficult to understand?” Gao Yang smiled. “Prince Ding’s mansion is on fire. After the fire is put out, Fu Xiuyi will send people to look for your corpse. If they can’t find your corpse, he will know that someone saved you. Fu Xiuyi is not a fool. The person who saved you even set fire to his dungeon. Fu Xiuyi naturally has to blame you for everything. At this moment, only Prince Rui can protect you in Ming Qi. Whether you like it or not, you’re tied to Prince Rui. In that case, we’re all on the same side. What secrets can’t I tell you?” Gao Yang looked up and smiled at Pei Lang. “We’re all in the same boat.”
Pei Lang quickly caught the crux of Gao Yang’s words and asked, “Did Prince Rui set the fire?”
Gao Yang said, “Of course.”
Pei Lang was dumbfounded. That dungeon was considered the most hidden place in the entire Prince Ding’s mansion. The people locked up there were also very useful to Fu Xiuyi. Pei Lang could easily guess that Fu Xiuyi must be burning with rage. Gao Yang was right. In the entire capital, only Prince Rui could make Fu Xiuyi afraid and only Prince Rui could protect him.
Pei Lang hesitated for a moment before asking the question he wanted to ask the most. “Did Prince Rui save me?”
“Otherwise, who would have the ability to save you?” Gao Yang said, “No one dares to take this risk.”
“But why did he save me?” Pei Lang asked tentatively, “Because someone else asked him to do this?” He did not know if Gao Yang knew about Shen Miao, so he did not say Shen Miao’s name, afraid that this would cause trouble for her.
Gao Yang looked at him meaningfully and stabbed a golden needle into his knee. Pei Lang frowned slightly and heard Gao Yang saying, “That’s right, because our princess consort asked him to.”
“Princess Consort?” Pei Lang was stunned. “Princess Consort Rui?” He had never heard of Prince Rui having a princess consort, nor did he know what kind of relationship he had with Princess Consort Rui. He asked, “Why did Princess Consort Rui…”
Gao Yang smiled. “It’s probably because Princess Consort Rui was once your student.”
Pei Lang said, “She’s…”
“Shen Miao.”
