Quick Transmigration: Cannon Fodder's Daily Rise to Power and Face-Slapping

Chapter 312 Slapping the Face of the Treacherous Regent 7

"Your Majesty!" the Left Chancellor roared, "Can't you see the pain in my child's body?"

Shangguan Jingzhi stared at the Left Prime Minister with his dark eyes. "Imperial Physician Jiang has already said that Xuanming is in good health. Does the Prime Minister think that Imperial Physician Jiang is lying?"

Physician Jiang knelt down with a thud. "Your Majesty, please investigate thoroughly! I have absolutely not lied! Your Majesty can invite other physicians to conduct an examination as well."

"Summon ten imperial physicians!" Shangguan Jingzhi said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, the eunuchs outside the door rushed to the Imperial Hospital and brought all ten of the highest-ranking imperial physicians remaining there to the main hall.

The ten imperial physicians took turns diagnosing Xuanming, who was groaning on the ground, and their conclusions were all consistent with those of Physician Jiang.

"What does the Prime Minister think?" Shangguan Jingzhi asked slowly, each word deliberate, his eyes filled with a hint of malice.

The Left Prime Minister had nothing to say. If only Physician Jiang had come to such a conclusion, he would still have some doubts. But since the subsequent ten physicians all made the same diagnosis, he had no choice but to believe it.

"Your Majesty, I take my leave!" He ordered the eunuchs serving outside the hall to help Xuanming up, and then led them away from the hall.

After the two men left, Chen Guangfan, the Vice Minister of War, also bowed and left the main hall.

For a moment, only Leng Yuexing and Shangguan Jingzhi remained in the main hall.

"Are you satisfied?" Shangguan Jingzhi asked in a low voice, gazing at Leng Yuexing.

Upon hearing this, Leng Yuexing turned around, walked step by step to the high platform where Shangguan Jingzhi was, put his hand on Shangguan Jingzhi's shoulder, and then sat directly on his lap.

A slight smile played on her lips as she said softly, "I'm fairly satisfied."

“Xuanming has been deposed and turned into a eunuch like you. Are you still not satisfied?” Shangguan Jingzhi gently hugged Leng Yuexing and asked softly with his head down.

Leng Yuexing looked up at Shangguan Jingzhi and asked, "How do you know he's crippled? The imperial physicians all said he's in good health."

Shangguan Jingzhi chuckled lightly, "That kick really landed. I don't know why the imperial physician didn't detect it, but he must be crippled."

“He deserves to be crippled,” Leng Yuexing said lazily, lying on Shangguan Jingzhi’s body.

Shangguan Jingzhi traced Leng Yuexing's eyebrows and eyes with his index finger and said casually, "After that, he'll be left to you to handle. You can do whatever you want with him."

Leng Yuexing reached out and grasped Shangguan Jingzhi's hand, interlacing their fingers. "Don't worry, I will definitely help you get rid of those two."

“Okay,” Shangguan Jingzhi said in a low voice.

He gazed at Leng Yuexing, his deep black eyes like a bottomless pool, as if trying to trap her within them.

After Leng Yuexing noticed this, she reached out her other hand and gently touched the corner of his eye, smiling as she said, "Your eyes are very beautiful."

A ripple appeared in Shangguan Jingzhi's eyes. He couldn't help but wrap his arms around Leng Yuexing's neck, pinch his chin, and want to lower his head to kiss him, but he hesitated to act because of Leng Yuexing's previous words.

Leng Yuexing released her intertwined hands with Shangguan Jingzhi, then grabbed his collar, pulled him in front of her, and gently kissed him.

"Consider this a reward for you," Leng Yuexing said with a light laugh.

Shangguan Jingzhi's pupils contracted sharply, and in the next instant, he grabbed Leng Yuexing's head and leaned in to kiss her...

Delicate moans echoed through the quiet hall as Leng Yuexing was held tightly in Shangguan Jingzhi's arms, her breath being taken from her mouth.

Xuanming, whom they had just mentioned, had already been brought back to the Prime Minister's residence by the Left Prime Minister as quickly as possible.

After returning to the Prime Minister's residence, the Left Prime Minister sent people to summon the best doctors in the city to the residence so that they could treat Xuanming together.

However, all the doctors' examinations came back the same as before; they all agreed that Xuanming was in good health and had no illness.

Seeing Xuanming lying on his side on the bed, groaning in pain, the Left Prime Minister roared in exasperation, "What exactly happened! Tell me now!"

Xuanming was in so much pain that he was about to faint. He wanted to answer the Prime Minister's question, but he couldn't utter a word no matter what he did.

Seeing this, the Left Chancellor could only instruct the physician to find a way to make Xuanming faint.

One of the doctors inserted silver needles into several acupoints on Xuanming's body. The next moment, his wails stopped, and he closed his eyes and fainted.

I thought he would be unconscious for a while, but to my surprise, he opened his eyes and wailed again after only a few breaths.

His voice was extremely hoarse, and he was tormented by extreme pain. For a moment, it seemed as if his soul was about to leave his body, but the pain forcibly pulled him back.

The Left Chancellor sighed deeply, "What exactly is going on?"

The acupuncturist administering acupuncture asked in confusion, "How could this be? Judging from Prince Xuan's condition, he seems to be in great pain, but we can't find the cause..."

"Do you know what happened?" the Left Chancellor asked impatiently.

To everyone's surprise, the acupuncturist shook his head, "I have never seen Prince Xuan in such a condition before. I do not know the reason either, so I can only wait until Prince Xuan calms down before we can discuss it further."

Knowing there was no other way, the Left Chancellor dismissed the physicians in his residence, leaving two servants to look after Xuanming, and then left the room.

"Take good care of the Prince. If anything happens to him, come and see me!" the Left Prime Minister said sternly.

"Yes!" the two servants replied respectfully.

After the Left Chancellor left the room, he ordered his attendants to try to find out what had happened in the main hall that day from Chen Guangfan, the Vice Minister of War.

An hour later, the Left Chancellor received a report from his attendant.

Upon learning that it was the newly appointed commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard who had kicked Xuanming, the Left Prime Minister smashed the priceless cup in his hand to the ground.

"This is outrageous!" the Left Prime Minister roared.

"What is his origin?"

The attendant who was reporting thought for a long time before saying, "I heard from the Vice Minister of War that the name of the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard is Leng Yuexing."

"What? Leng Yuexing?" The Left Prime Minister stood up in surprise.

"Wasn't he exiled to the frontier? Didn't our men kill him?" the Left Chancellor said sternly.

The servant lowered his head and stammered, not daring to speak.

"Tell me quickly! What exactly happened?"

The servant, with his eyes closed, replied, "I investigated and found that it was His Highness who ordered someone to bring him to the palace and make him a eunuch!"

Upon hearing this, the Left Chancellor's chest heaved with anger. "To cut the weeds, you must nip them in the bud. Is this not such a simple principle? Does he not understand it? How dare he disobey my orders?"

The attendants stood by, not daring to breathe, and could only silently endure the Left Chancellor's anger.

The Left Chancellor was angry for a while, then waved his hand to dismiss the servants.

Then he whispered, "Nameless!"

As soon as the Left Chancellor finished speaking, a masked man in black appeared before him.

He was extremely thin, with silver metal chains hanging from his ears.

"My subordinate is here!"

"Kill that Leng Yuexing!" the Left Prime Minister roared.

"Yes!"

The next moment, the nameless man in black disappeared from the room without a trace.
