Reborn from the bottom of the coffin, the miracle doctor and the ugly concubine fight against the wo

People tend to feel sleepy in hot weather. Chu Zhao took a nap after dinner. Perhaps he was very tired. When he woke up, the sun had already set.

The dim light in the room gave her the illusion of not knowing what time it was in the past. She sat there for a while, lost in thought, and then asked the girl to come in and wait on her.

Qingyu opened the curtain and came in, lighting the candle.

"Princess, you slept well. The slaves thought you were working too hard today and were reluctant to call you."

"It's good, but I will definitely have to lose sleep at night." Chu Zhao said.

After saying that, I remembered my promise to start teaching Ah Ao the art of war tonight, and felt that I had just the right amount of sleep to avoid feeling sleepy at night.

"Is there any news from the prince?" She got out of bed, stretched out and asked Qingyu.

Qingyu shook her head and said, "No, the prince has never sent anyone over to deliver a message."

Chu Zhao couldn't help but frown.

How many hours had passed and Murong Xiao couldn't pry an assassin's mouth open?

It shouldn't be!

"Change, I'll go over and take a look." Chu Zhao said, feeling a little regretful that he didn't interrogate the assassin in person.

It's not all her fault. Since becoming emperor, she no longer needs to interrogate prisoners personally. With Xu Hui here, she can pry open any tough mouth.

I didn't expect Murong Xiao to be so stupid.

Chu Zhao changed his clothes and went out, while A'ao stayed outside. Hearing her say that he wanted to see the assassin, he had to go with her no matter what.

Chu Zhao was afraid that Murong Xiao would cause trouble for him again and didn't want to let him go.

A'ao said: "We will meet him sooner or later. Is it because you are afraid of him that you will never go out? Then how can I be your bodyguard?"

Chu Zhao thought so and agreed to let him follow, telling him not to talk when he got there and not to anger Murong Xiao at will.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the two of them stepped out of the hospital door, Murong Xiao came first.

Seeing A'ao and Chu Zhao walking side by side, Murong Xiao's face immediately dropped: "Do you understand the rules? The guards can only follow the master. Who allowed you to walk side by side with the master?"

Chu Zhao hurriedly glanced at Ah Ao, fearing that he would contradict Murong Xiao again.

A'ao looked as usual, bowed and saluted Murong Xiao: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, this is my first time as a guard, and I don't understand the rules very well. I will pay attention to it in the future."

After saying that, he took a step back and stood to the side behind Chu Zhao, bowing his head respectfully.

Murong Xiao was stunned for a moment and swallowed back the scolding he had prepared.

"My attitude this time is quite good. When Beiyuan comes back, let him teach you a good lesson."

Aao cupped his fists: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chu Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and followed Murong Xiao's words to change the topic: "Is there any news from Beiyuan?"

"Yes, he has already met Zhang Xingzhou, and he has organized his troops to return to Yunzhou in the past two days." Murong Xiao said.

Chu Zhao nodded, thinking that he was finally here. He didn't know if Miss Iron Hammer would come with Zhang Xingzhou.

I hope I won't be able to leave her when I come back.

"Did the assassin spit?" Chu Zhao asked again.

Murong Xiao looked at her, his eyes wandering for a moment: "I am about to tell you that that person is dead."

"Dead?" Chu Zhao was stunned, "His poison has been cured, why did he die?"

"I don't know either," Murong Xiao said. "It's probably because he is physically weak and cannot bear the severe punishment."

Chu Zhao frowned: "Did you use severe punishment on him?"

"Yes." Murong Xiao nodded, "He refused to confess, so of course he was going to be sentenced. During the first round, he fainted from the pain and was splashed with cold water to wake him up. After he fainted again in the second round, even the cold water couldn't wake him up. , I asked people to lock him in the prison, and went back to the front yard to handle some affairs. Unexpectedly, when he woke up in the middle, he hit the wall and died."

After hearing this, Chu Zhao didn't speak for a long time.

As a result, she really didn't know what to say.

Murong Xiao peeked at her face and asked tentatively: "Are you angry?"

Chu Zhao ignored him.

Murong Xiao apologized again: "It's my fault, I was negligent."

Chu Zhao frowned and looked him up and down: "Is it just negligence?"

Murong Xiao was startled: "What do you mean?"

Chu Zhao sneered and said, "Your Majesty never explains anything to me. Why did he explain it in such detail this time, even including pouring cold water on me?"

Murong Xiao's expression changed and he said angrily: "You suspect that I killed that person. What reason does I have to kill him?"

"How do I know?" Chu Zhao said, "How do I know which darling the prince is protecting?"

Murong Xiao was furious: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Whether this is nonsense or not, the prince himself knows clearly." Chu Zhao turned around with a flourish of his sleeves and walked towards the yard, "Aao, close the door!"

Murong Xiao was stunned on the spot, until the courtyard door creaked and was about to close, then he quickly rushed over and raised his feet to block the crack in the door.

"What is the prince doing?" Aao asked him while holding the door.

Murong Xiao had a sullen face and reached out to push the door open.

Aao blocked it with all his strength.

One of them pushed in, the other pushed out, gritting their teeth and struggling with the door panel.

"Get out of my way!" Murong Xiao found out that he couldn't win against A'ao, and couldn't help but become angry.

A'ao refused to give up: "I am the princess's bodyguard, and I only obey the princess's instructions."

Murong Xiao almost died of anger: "I have rebelled against you. Your princess belongs to me, you belong to me, and the entire palace belongs to me. If you don't get out of the way, I will chop off your head!"

Aao: "..."

What the hell?

Although what he said was right, why was it so awkward?

Chu Zhao was also speechless behind him. He was afraid that he would really be harmful to Ah Ao, so he shouted: "A'ao, step back."

Aao hesitated for a moment and then backed away obediently.

The power of resistance disappeared, and Murong Xiao was staggered.

Fortunately, he was good at martial arts and managed to stabilize his figure with his waist strength. He was so angry that he gave Ao a fierce look.

Aao lowered his head and stood back behind Chu Zhao.

"Everyone is dead, what else does the prince have to say?" Chu Zhao asked with a cold face.

Murong Xiao stepped through the door, dusted his clothes, and regained the prince's aura: "You cannot be wronged for what I didn't do."

Chu Zhao couldn't help but sneer again: "Does the prince value innocence so much? What about the many injustices I suffered before?"

"..." Murong Xiao choked, looked around, stretched out his hand to grab her wrist, and pulled her into the room, "Come here, I will talk to you properly."

Aao wanted to step forward to stop him, but Chu Zhao stopped him with his eyes.

The two quickly entered the house and closed the door.

Although Ah Ao was worried, he did not rush in after all, and stayed outside silently with a dark face.

The three girls were hiding under the pillars, like three curious and timid cats, peeking over half their heads secretly. Ao glared at them, and then they all shrank back.

In the room, Murong Xiao pulled Chu Zhao into the inner room in one breath and sat down on the bed.

"I know what you are suspecting. I am also suspicious. If you bear with it a little longer, I will definitely find out the truth and vent your anger after a while."

Chu Zhao was very surprised and stared at him for a long time before saying: "It turns out that the prince knew in his heart that he was just pretending to be deaf and dumb."

Murong Xiao was noncommittal and said vaguely, "It will be fine if you just bear with it a little longer."

"Why should I endure it?" Chu Zhao said, "Last time, the prince said he would give me an explanation for the big steward who wore a human skin mask, but as a result, he hasn't said a word until now. Why should I still believe you?"

Murong Xiao was dumbfounded and hesitated for a long time before saying: "Anyway, just wait a little longer."

Chu Zhao stood up and looked at him: "We have all conspired to plot against the Queen Mother. Is there anything else that the prince cannot say to me? What use does Su Zhifu have to the prince? If the prince says it, I may not be able to do it if he can do it. , Your Majesty is the king of the Southwest, why should you be held hostage by others?"
