Doctor Cheng looked at Bai Ze for a while, then said in a deep voice, "Okay."

"It's a deal." Bai Ze finally smiled, "I hope that after tonight, we can all leave alive."

At this time, the maid's greeting sounded outside.

Doctor Cheng hurriedly changed his expression, revealing his anxious face, and at the same time, his movements were as fast as lightning. With a wave of his hands, he quickly pricked Bai Ze's body with silver needles.

Bai Ze let out a muffled snort. He seriously suspected that Imperial Physician Cheng was avenging his own revenge.

The door was pushed open, and Ji Xuan walked in, his steps were steady as always, his back straight.Doctor Cheng knelt down to salute, Ji Xuan waved his hand, and walked to Bai Ze's side, "Why is it suddenly bad?"

Bai Ze coughed, "I can't get better, I just hope that I can hold on through tonight..."

Ji Xuan was silent for a moment, with a rare gentle voice, "I will never break my promise to you."

Bai Ze showed gratitude, but then showed a sad look, "It's just that the servant is like this, I'm afraid it's difficult to persist. The emperor can say this, the servant is already satisfied, how can I not know what's good or bad. Or let's forget it."

"You can rest assured." Ji Xuan's tone was unquestionable, and she turned to look at the doctor Cheng who was kneeling beside her, "You can make her persist tonight."

Physician Cheng respectfully said: "I can use acupuncture to stimulate the girl's physical potential, allowing her to act normally for a while. But this is quite risky, and I need my servant to be by my side so that I can respond to any emergencies in a timely manner."

"Don't go back today, just stay in the palace." Ji Xuan said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Imperial Physician Cheng bowed his head and said yes.

Seeing Imperial Physician Cheng go out, Bai Ze looked back at Ji Xuan again, and suddenly burst out laughing.

Ji Xuan raised her eyebrows, "You're going to die, but you can still laugh so happily? I really don't understand what you think."

"Whether you're happy or not has nothing to do with how long you live." Bai Ze smiled lightly, "The key lies in your own heart. If it's a sweet dream, it's short-lived; if you live in pain and hopelessness all your life, No matter how long life is, it is nothing more than torture. The servants are lucky to meet the emperor... Although life is short, but they can get their wishes, so they are naturally happy."

"Is your wish so simple?" Ji Xuan sighed quietly, "If it wasn't for me, you would still be serving the queen well, happily for a long time, now that you are like this, don't you complain at all?"

Bai Ze shook his head, "How can there be so many ifs in the world, how can we complain about others because of mere hypotheticals. Now the slaves are very content."

"Most people in the world are not greedy enough. I didn't expect that you, a girl, would be able to fall to this point. It really impressed me." Ji Xuan laughed, "Suddenly, I can't bear to part with you."

"The emperor was joking." Bai Ze replied.

Ji Xuan stopped laughing suddenly, and said meaningfully, "If I didn't joke."

Bai Ze was taken aback for a moment, and then chuckled, "That servant can only fail the emperor, and repay the emperor's love in the next life."

"I don't think you have any sincerity in what you said." Ji Xuan twitched her lips, "But this time I don't mind your offense."

"The emperor is really generous." Bai Ze followed with a flattery.

"Okay, take a good rest, I'm still waiting to try your skills at night." Ji Xuan got up and said.

"I will not disappoint the emperor." Bai Ze was full of confidence.

After Ji Xuan finished speaking, he left.

Doctor Cheng got Ji Xuan's order, so he stayed as a matter of course.He retreated from the crowd, and said to Bai Ze: "It seems that Ji Xuan still values ​​you very much, don't let me down tonight."

Bai Ze sneered, "You don't know him too well. How could he value me? It's just because I sacrificed my life to save him. By the way, it also gave the queen enough face."

Doctor Cheng shook his head, "If he didn't care about you at all, why would he rush over when he heard that something happened to you?"

Bai Ze's eyes flashed, "Really?"

"He has a lot of things to do these days. Do you think what happened the day before yesterday is so simple? How many people are in a state of anxiety. He still remembers caring about you under his desperation, how could he not care at all. Very good, very good It's gone." Doctor Cheng stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"If he really cared about me, then he would be self-inflicted." Bai Ze smiled.

"That's not it." Cheng Taiyi clapped his hands and smiled.

"By the way, Ji Xuan really hasn't caught any of you, so he can't be so incompetent?" Bai Ze asked tentatively.

"It doesn't matter if he catches some, he can't expect to get any news." Imperial Physician Cheng said flatly.

"It seems that you are really confident." Bai Ze complimented, "Judging from your tone, you should have an unusual status, right? What kind of organization are you?"

"You don't need to know this." Imperial Physician Cheng didn't want to talk about it.

Bai Ze made indirect remarks, but the other party was strict-tongued and couldn't ask anything, so he had to give up in the end.

……

At dusk, the eunuch in the palace led Bai Ze to the kitchen. The kitchen was the small kitchen in Ji Xuan's palace, but it was not small in size and had complete tools.The raw materials have also been prepared according to Bai Ze's requirements, and they are all the best and freshest ingredients.

Bai Ze knew Ji Xuan's suspicion, so he didn't send the people around him out, but he also refused the help of others, and only let them watch from the sidelines.

He had already thought about what to do.Picking up the spatula at this moment, I still feel a little nostalgic.

Back then, they lived in a remote small palace, and their treatment was similar to that of a cold palace. They lacked food and clothing, and their lives were very poor.In order to make Ji Xuan eat well, Bai Ze had to think a lot about how to make some delicious food under the simple conditions.

So strictly speaking, his craftsmanship is good. Although he doesn't know any complicated and gorgeous dishes, he has been affirmed by Ji Xuan.Ji Xuan ate his food for ten years.Until the palace changed later and Ji Xuan ascended the throne, it was never his turn to do these things.

What he has to do is how to help Ji Xuan remove all obstacles and kill all those who stand in his way... instead of taking care of his daily life.

Therefore, very few people know that the cold-blooded and ruthless commander of the forbidden army can actually cook.

Bai Ze himself did not expect such an opportunity.

He learned kung fu from Xu Xuan, the great eunuch next to Ji Xuan, and he is best at wielding knives.At this moment, he skillfully picked out the fish bones and bones with a knife, smashed the fish meat and made them into balls.Ji Xuan likes to eat fish, and Bai Ze has worked hard to make him eat comfortably. This is his favorite dish.

Bai Ze prepared a few more vegetables, and Ji Xuan didn't like too greasy food, so they were all light.

Because there were only Ji Xuan and Empress Cui, Bai Ze didn't prepare much. He never had the habit of extravagance and waste. Finally, he made a soup with wild mushrooms, which was basically the same.

At this time, a maid came in to announce that the emperor and empress had arrived.

Bai Ze put down his things, arranged his clothes, and said that he was ready.

The maids came in to carry the warm food, while Bai Ze walked behind.

Entering the hall, sure enough Ji Xuan and Empress Cui had arrived.I haven't seen him for a few days, Empress Cui is a little haggard, and she looks at Bai Ze with complicated eyes. She must have heard about him from Ji Xuan, so it is not good to express her dissatisfaction with Bai Ze.

Bai Ze stared closely at Empress Cui's expression, but he didn't find anything wrong. He still had doubts about Empress Cui.

"You're here." Ji Xuan smiled at Bai Ze.

Bai Ze lowered his head and saluted, and said softly: "Please ask the emperor and the empress to try the handicraft of slaves."

Ji Xuan smiled at Empress Cui and said, "How about it? Try it? It's rare for her to have a heart."

Empress Cui forced a smile, raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, "I understand." After speaking, she took a piece of green vegetable and tasted it lightly.She frowned slightly, and opened it again after a while, and said with a smile: "It's very good, your majesty, you can try it too."

Ji Xuan smiled slightly, raised his chopsticks, and when he was about to pick up the fish balls, he suddenly paused, and with a flick of his hand, he also picked up a piece of vegetable.

"Well, not bad." Ji Xuan said.

"As long as the emperor and empress like it." Bai Ze smiled slightly.

Although I don't know whether Empress Cui really likes it or just pretends to like it, but at least on the surface, both of them are quite appreciative of Bai Ze's craftsmanship.Ji Xuan tasted the green vegetables and ate another fish ball, Bai Ze watched nervously.

But Ji Xuan didn't show any special liking or other expression, only took a bite, and never tried it again.Bai Ze was a little disappointed, didn't Ji Xuan like these dishes anymore?But this is not the time to think about these things, Bai Ze raised his spirits and said, "This servant will pour wine for the emperor and empress."

He lifted the jug and carefully filled the three wine glasses in front of him. He seemed to be moving smoothly, but his palms were covered with cold sweat.

Bai Ze picked up one of the cups, came to Empress Cui respectfully, and said in a respectful voice, "This cup is for the empress, please forgive the previous offense for the sake of my servant's death."

Empress Cui took the wine glass, took a sip, and put it down, "I have never blamed you."

"Thank you, ma'am." Bai Ze showed a happy smile, and then he poured himself another cup, and came to Ji Xuan in the same way, "This cup is for the emperor, thank the emperor for his respect for his servants."

Ji Xuan drank it in one gulp and smiled slightly.

"Your Majesty..." Bai Ze suddenly showed a painful expression on his face, and his body shook slightly.

Ji Xuan supported him nervously, "What's wrong? Doctor Cheng! Where's Doctor Cheng?"

"I'm fine, I'm just a little dizzy..." Bai Ze leaned on Ji Xuan's body, his lips almost touched his ear, and at the same time whispered in a voice that only two people could hear: "Pretend to be poisoned, and then restrain me .”

Ji Xuan froze.

Empress Cui saw that the two were so close, she couldn't help standing up angrily, but suddenly she swayed and fell down on the chair.Her expression changed drastically, and she was out of breath, "You, you bitch, what have you done..."

Ji Xuan violently pushed Bai Ze away, stretched out his hand to support the table, and shouted in a deep voice: "Who the hell are you?"

"The one who wants to kill you." Bai Ze stood up straight and threw himself at Ji Xuan, "Today you will definitely die!"

Ji Xuan dodged sideways, grabbed Bai Ze's wrist and twisted it, and held him in his arms. Bai Ze groaned and shouted, "Hurry up and help!"

"He's been poisoned, come and help me!" Bai Ze yelled, struggling.Out of the corner of his eye, he looked at Empress Cui. After all, Empress Cui was a delicate woman and had already passed out.

Bai Ze didn't know whether he should be disappointed or happy.It seems that Empress Cui is indeed fine, what he poured into the wine was just an ordinary drug, this level of drug did not work on Ji Xuan at all, but it brought Empress Cui down.If Empress Cui really belonged to them, she would definitely not let go of such a good opportunity, and would fight with Imperial Physician Cheng.

Originally, when he designed this dinner party, besides trying to force out the people behind the scenes, he also intended to test Empress Cui.

It can only be regarded as a windfall to discover the existence of Cheng Taiyi in advance.But it also happened to add an extra layer of protection to his actions.

As soon as Bai Ze finished speaking, Imperial Physician Cheng pushed the door open and entered.When he saw the pale and bloodless Ji Xuan, he couldn't help laughing loudly at Bai Ze, "You did a good job."

Ji Xuan looked at Doctor Cheng in shock, her tone was weak, and she seemed to be unable to hold on anymore, "It turned out to be you!"

Cheng Tai walked towards Ji Xuan slowly, and sneered, "Everyone outside has already been brought down by me, you can't escape today!"

The imperial physician Bai Ze yelled, "Hurry up and save me!"

"Stop, you don't want his life?!" Ji Xuan's eyes turned cold, and he grabbed Bai Ze's neck. Bai Ze couldn't breathe immediately, and his face turned red soon.

Doctor Cheng's footsteps did not stop at all, and he sneered, "If you want his life, you can just take it."

Ji Xuan finally showed a flustered look on his face, and the movements of his hands loosened a little.

Bai Ze took the opportunity to push Ji Xuan away, and staggered towards Doctor Cheng, coughing while running.Angrily asked: "Where is the antidote you promised to give me!"

"There is no antidote at all." Imperial Physician Cheng looked at Bai Ze with pity.

"You! I'll fight with you!" Bai Ze seemed to have been dazzled by anger, he rushed towards Doctor Cheng!

Doctor Cheng raised his hand, revealing a dagger in his hand, stabbing directly at Bai Ze, his movements were very, very fast.

But Bai Ze's reaction was faster!

Although Bai Ze changed into another body, although this body did not have the slightest level of cultivation, his experience of fighting enemies to the death for countless times did not disappear. He bent his body unexpectedly and easily dodged Cheng Taiyi's sword.

Seeing that Bai Ze was about to approach him, a sneer appeared on the corner of Taiyi Cheng's mouth, and an afterimage of the sword body swayed in the air, as if there was a hazy white light covering the sword body, and the sword was thrown across in an instant.Bai Ze didn't have time to stop his castration, he was about to bump into him, he would definitely die!

Suddenly a wine glass flew over!The wine glass collided with the dagger and immediately shattered into pieces, but the huge impact also caused the dagger to deviate from its position. In the nick of time, Bai Ze hugged Cheng Taiyi's waist and knocked him to the ground!

Physician Cheng was furious, and slapped Bai Ze's chest with his palm, only the sound of bones breaking could be heard.

But this was also his last counterattack. When Ji Xuan threw out the wine glass, he rushed over quickly, chopped off two arms of Imperial Doctor Cheng with two swipes!Physician Cheng let out a shrill scream, rolling and crying on the ground.

"You traitor! I'm going to kill you! Kill you!"

"Come here! Take good care of him, don't let him die." Ji Xuan's voice was cold, "Yes." There was a reply from outside, and Xu Yan walked in, holding the crazy 'Physician Cheng' with one hand. Caught up.

He took a deep look at Bai Ze and walked out.

The room fell silent for an instant.

Bai Ze fell to the ground, coughing up two mouthfuls of blood.

Ji Xuan gently hugged him up, and looked at him quietly, with bottomless eyes.

"Ahem..." Bai Ze kept coughing, and the blood soon stained his clothes red. "I, can't do anything for you anymore..."

Ji Xuan pursed her lips, "You have helped me a lot, and I will let Doctor Cheng speak up. Don't worry."

"That's good...he, he should know a lot." Bai Ze spoke intermittently, and Doctor Cheng's palm directly cut off his last trace of vitality, and his eyes gradually dimmed.

Ji Xuan held his hand slightly harder, his lips moved, and finally seemed to have made a lot of determination and used a lot of courage to ask this sentence.

He asked, "Who the hell are you?"
