If the eighty stick punishment continues, even a strong man like Du Heng will have to stay in bed for half a month.
Mu Nanzhi glared at Du Heng fiercely and nodded slightly after a while.
"Thank you for your kindness!" Du Heng and other imperial guards kowtowed in gratitude.
Lu Zhishan lowered his head and looked at Mu Nanzhi's trembling fingers. His heart ached so much that he bled. He reached out and gently held Mu Nanzhi's hand, but was suddenly thrown away by Mu Nanzhi. , Mu Nanzhi ignored him, didn't even look at him, and turned directly into the main hall. Lu Zhishan followed her into the main hall.
In the main hall, Doctor Zhang was so frightened that he almost fainted. As soon as he saw Lu Zhishan and Mu Nanzhi coming in, Doctor Zhang was so busy that he knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing: "I have seen the Long Live Lord... I have seen the Queen." Empress!”
"You keep claiming to be a guilty minister, you must know what crime you have committed?" Mu Nanzhi said coldly, slowly walked to the imperial doctor, and looked down at the sweaty court clothes on the imperial doctor Zhang's body, "Let me talk to you. Tell me what crime you committed."
"The guilty minister... The guilty minister knew that there was an assassin outside and it was extremely dangerous, but... But the guilty minister didn't dare... He didn't dare to go out to rescue..." The doctor Zhang was wailing so much that the old man in his fifties or sixties was crying out of breath. He was out of breath and very pitiful, "It's all my fault for being timid and afraid of death. I beg you to punish me!"
"Who is not afraid of death? Especially if you have a wife and children at home, you will naturally cherish your life even more. I don't blame you," Mu Nanzhi said lightly, while slowly circling around Dr. Zhang, he continued, " But it would be different if you had evil intentions from the beginning."
The imperial doctor, Zhang, was so busy kowtowing that his forehead was bleeding. He kept crying and calling out the injustice: "Your Majesty, please give me a clear warning! The guilty minister is loyal to Long Live Lord! He has no evil intentions! Please give me a clear warning!"
"Oh? Then tell me about Prince Huai's situation," Mu Nanzhi said with raised eyebrows, pointing to the bedroom, while turning to look at Dr. Zhang, "I heard that you are the one who has always asked Prince Huai for his safety. Damn it, why did Prince Huai become so ill all of a sudden? Why haven’t you reported Prince Huai’s pulse?”
The imperial doctor's lips were trembling, and there was more sweat on his forehead. He trembled and said: "To the Queen, Prince Huai has always been in good health. The reason why he fell seriously ill this time... was because he drank wine with Prince Huai last night. Because he was drunk and caught cold, Wei Chen... Wei Chen was also very shocked... "
"Oh? Can you die if you drink two more glasses of wine? Haha, I'm really eye-opening today." Mu Nanzhi sneered.
"Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Liang is here!" A secret guard led Imperial Physician Liang into the main hall.
"We have met the Long Live Lord, and we have met the Queen." Imperial Physician Liang came in and saluted Lu Zhishan and Mu Nanzhi. He walked from the front yard to the backyard, looking at the blood and dead people on the ground. He, a weak imperial physician, wanted to I was so frightened that my voice was trembling when I spoke.
"Are you afraid?" Mu Nanzhi walked up to Imperial Physician Liang and asked with raised eyebrows.
Doctor Liang's knees weakened, and he suddenly knelt down and kowtowed: "If you reply to your Majesty, Weichen... Weichen is afraid."
"It's good to be afraid. If you are afraid, you won't tell lies," Mu Nanzhi said calmly, while mouthing into the bedroom, "Now go in and take a look at Prince Huai, and find out why he fell suddenly ill. Is it really what Dr. Zhang said?" It’s just due to greed.”
"Yes, I obey." Dr. Liang was so busy that he stumbled into the bedroom carrying the medicine box.
Doctor Zhang was shivering even more violently. Mu Nanzhi didn't bother to look at him, got up and sat on the chair in the middle hall.
