v1c4: Cannon Fodder Who Seeks Death [4]

The little eunuch was startled. He hadn't been serving the emperor for long, but he clearly remembered how this Son of Heaven had dealt with those princes before, his face devoid of emotion. This time, the An Prince had merely fainted, and the emperor was going to visit personally?

This was too strange. He originally thought that the An Prince was like the others, but now it seemed that there was a difference.

Those who could stay by the emperor's side were all shrewd. He felt that for the sake of his future, he had to pay more attention to the An Prince's affairs.

As for Qin Li, he was tall and had long strides. When he walked, those behind him couldn't keep up and could only awkwardly jog to follow. Thus, an unprecedented scene appeared in the palace.

Su Tang was still lying unconscious on the bluestone slab. The emperor hadn't spoken, so no one dared to help her up. Even the imperial physician didn't dare to make a sound, only waiting nervously for the emperor's order.

However, the order never came. Instead, the emperor himself arrived!

Qin Li didn't even spare a glance at the palace maids kneeling at his feet. He only coldly ordered someone to summon the imperial physician.

He didn't rush to pick Su Tang up. He thought it was just another one of her tricks. After all, in order to avoid punishment, she would come up with all sorts of schemes. Fainting was a common occurrence, happening every now and then. In the end, even the late emperor had given up on her. As long as it didn't cause a big fuss, he let her be.

The imperial physician arrived quickly, but as soon as he felt her pulse, he froze.

Qin Li frowned. "Speak."

The imperial physician froze, looking around. Seeing so many palace maids and guards, he said cautiously, "Let this old minister check again." As he spoke, he wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead.

It was almost winter now, where did the sweat come from? Qin Li's frown could kill. Just as his patience was about to run out, the imperial physician finally knelt down again, trembling.

After thinking for a moment, he said with trepidation, "Your Majesty, can you please ask everyone to leave?"

For him to say such a thing, there must be a big secret. Qin Li had already investigated Qin Anjing thoroughly. Speaking of the An Prince's Mansion, if it weren't for his cheap father's scheming, who knows who would be sitting on the throne now.

But it was all water under the bridge now.

Qin Li was curious about what other secrets she had that he didn't know, so he waved his hand, signaling for everyone to disperse.

Seeing this, the imperial physician said, "This old minister has been practicing medicine for many years and has rarely misdiagnosed. However, the An Prince…"

Qin Li had no patience for his rambling and interrupted coldly, "Get to the point."

The imperial physician trembled in fear. "Based on this old minister's decades of experience in pulse diagnosis, the An Prince… is actually a woman."

His words were like a bolt from the blue. Qin Li was stunned for a long time. For a moment, he even thought he had heard wrong.

"You… say that again?"

The imperial physician took a deep breath and, mustering his courage, repeated what he had just said.

Qin Li's expression became complicated. He looked at Su Tang, who was lying unconscious on the ground. He couldn't say he hated her, nor could he say he disliked her. But if he let her go just like that, he would feel unreconciled.

However, his previous methods might not be applicable anymore. Bullying a girl was still somewhat dishonorable.

He frowned, looking at the unconscious girl, silent. But the imperial physician surprised him again. "Your Majesty, the An Prince's body… is not in good condition."

This time, his expression completely darkened. "What do you mean by 'not in good condition'?"

"She's over worried and hasn't been taking good care of herself all these years. Her foundation is weak, so just kneeling for a while caused her to faint." The imperial physician felt unlucky. The emperor's temper was unpredictable, and he was as ruthless as a butcher. Not to mention him, a mere imperial physician, even those princes had been killed by him. Everyone in the court was anxious. The An Prince no longer had the late emperor's protection, and her glory was coming to an end. But at least the emperor was still willing to torment her. Who knows if he would give her another "gift" of accompanying him in death. This was a crime of deceiving the emperor!

It wasn't clear what the emperor's attitude was now. The cold sweat on the imperial physician's forehead increased. After thinking for a moment, he decided to tell the truth. "If she takes good care of herself, she can live another ten or twenty years. If not… she might not have many years left."

A murderous aura surged from Qin Li's eyes. He stared at the unconscious girl, his heart in turmoil. After a moment, he bent down and picked her up.

The imperial physician was startled and immediately scrambled to his feet, chasing after him.

Qin Li didn't ask for help. Only when he held her in his arms did he realize that the arrogant little thing from before was now frighteningly light. Although the An Prince was a scoundrel, she wasn't like his brothers. So he originally planned to teach her a lesson and keep her as a toy for amusement. He could always kill her later when he got tired of her.

However, that erotic novel had appeared. Others might find it amusing, but he knew in his heart that some of the details were even clearer than his own memories. To be able to write such things, the author must have been involved in those events.

He always felt that his ascension to the throne was a little too easy, especially in the early stages. It was as if someone had been paving the way for him. Therefore, he didn't immediately ban the book. He wanted to see if there was more information.

However, before he could figure it out, this damned thing had already tormented herself to this extent. He was irritated, not because he felt sorry for the person in his arms, but because things were out of his control.

Qin Li did as he pleased and directly carried Su Tang to his bedchamber. He didn't handle her gently. Fortunately, the white jade dragon bed was soft enough to prevent any injuries.

After throwing her onto the bed, he pointed at the imperial physician behind him. "Wake her up."

He might have been casual, but the imperial physician didn't dare to be careless. He carefully checked her pulse again, then pressed on her philtrum. After a while, seeing that she showed signs of waking up, he said, "Your Majesty, the An Prince is about to wake up. This minister will go prepare some medicine."

Qin Li's expression remained unchanged. He waved his hand, dismissing the physician. As for Qin Anjing's secret, unless he didn't want to live anymore, no one would dare to reveal it without his permission.

When Su Tang woke up, she found herself in a different environment. Before she could rejoice, she saw the dog emperor looking at her with a cold expression. She was startled and quickly discovered something even more horrifying.

She was actually sleeping on the dog emperor's dragon bed!

Oh my god, this was terrifying!

Qin Li looked at her and said directly, "Tell me, who wrote that novel?"

He asked this question, but he already had an answer in his heart. The spies had reported that the novel originated from the An Prince's Mansion. In the entire mansion, there were only old, weak, women, and children left. Besides her, no one else would have the guts to do such a thing.

However, he just wanted to see how she would refute it.

As expected, the little thing pretended to be clueless. Because she had just woken up, her beautiful eyes were still misty. "Ah? What is Your Majesty talking about? This official really doesn't know?"

Hearing this, Qin Li didn't get angry but smiled instead. "Is that so? Then I'll have someone read it to you."
