Chapter 1888: Find the Imperial Physician for the Little Black Bird
After saying that, he walked straight to Little Black, who had already fallen to the ground.
Eunuch Zhang looked at the dying Little Black and was shocked, afraid, and distressed. He said,” His Majesty likes Little Black very much. What’s wrong with Little Black? What should I do? Call the Imperial Physician!”
As he spoke, Eunuch Zhang ordered the guards beside him as he reached out to pick Little Black up from the ground.
“Eunuch Zhang, wait!” At this moment, Jiang Zhennan’s eyes were sharp and serious as he stopped him.
Eunuch Zhang paused and asked with a puzzled expression,” Great General, what’s wrong?”
Jiang Zhennan stepped forward and pointed at its stomach. He said warily,” Eunuch Zhang, something’s wrong with Little Black. Its stomach is moving. It’s bouncing as if it’s going to rush out of Little Black’s stomach. Little Black’s condition is unknown, so it’s better for Eunuch Zhang not to touch him for now.”
Hearing Jiang Zhennan’s reminder, Eunuch Zhang’s expression was very anxious. He asked,” Great General, what should we do now?”
The reason why Jiang Zhennan stopped Eunuch Zhang was because Little Black had flown past them before. He was worried that Little Black had eaten something to cause this. It was possible that it had eaten a Gu worm.
Although he didn’t know the Gu technique of the Southern Border, his stepfather, Lu Ziyou, was proficient in it. He would often talk to Lin Yuelan, so he knew a thing or two about the Gu technique.
From the court to the imperial palace, Prince Ping had been playing tricks on them. Previously, with Lin Yuelan around, these tricks had failed. After Lin Yuelan left, she gave them some protective measures so the journey was considered peaceful.
However, Little Black’s accident happened after Eunuch Zhang arrived. Its stomach was moving for some unknown reason, which made him suspicious.
Jiang Zhennan thought about it and said,” Let me do it!”
After taking the various tonics given by Lin Yuelan, he had become immune to all poisons. He was not even afraid of Gu worms.
Eunuch Zhang was a smart man. Although Jiang Zhennan did not point it out, the information revealed in his words was extremely terrifying.
Someone wanted his life!
Thinking of this, his heart trembled, but he quickly calmed down and smiled.” Then I’ll have to trouble you, General!”
Jiang Zhennan did not say much. He just bent down and carefully picked up Little Black. He held it in his hands and gently stroked it twice.
If his guess was correct, Little Black was the hero.
Eunuch Zhang looked at Jiang Zhennan’s actions, and his eyes were filled with shock. The Iron-Blooded General actually had such a gentle moment.
“Where are you taking this bird?” Prince Ping appeared flustered and anxious. He asked anxiously,” What’s wrong with this bird?”
In fact, he had also seen the bird’s stomach squirming, so he was very sure that the Gu worm had been eaten by the bird. This had completely disrupted his plan.
When he thought of this, a wave of hatred welled up in Prince Ping’s heart.
Lin Yuelan really had nothing better to do. Why did she give the emperor a bird?
This bird had ruined his plans.
Hearing Prince Ping’s question, Eunuch Zhang seemed to be very suspicious.” Your Highness, of course, we’re bringing this bird to find the imperial physician.”
Prince Ping seemed very surprised.” Bring a bird to find the imperial physician?” Wasn’t this too ridiculous?
Eunuch Zhang nodded.” Yes. His Majesty cherished Little Black. Every day, there were imperial physicians who came to check on its health. This time, when something happened to Little Black, of course, we had to find the imperial physician.”
Prince Ping found it unbelievable.
A dignified emperor actually gave a black bird a doctor. It was really unheard of.
No, if the Emperor continued like this, how could he be powerful?
Just as he was about to stop him from saving the bird, Eunuch Zhang said,” Aiya, His Majesty must be getting anxious. Prince Ping, Great General, let’s hurry!”
Prince Ping was speechless.
This opportunity was missed once again.
He didn’t know if there was still a chance.
Prince Ping’s hands under his wide sleeves tightened.
He quickly followed them.
Along the way, Prince Ping did not have the chance to make a move.
Because, whether it was poison or Gu worms that could kill people invisibly, he had nothing left. The only thing he had was the one that could only be used at a critical moment.
He obviously did not expect that assassinating two insignificant people would be so exhausting. Whether it was poison or Gu worms, it was useless time and time again.
They had really underestimated Lin Yuelan.
They had previously investigated Lin Yuelan and knew that she had once made a Detoxification Pill that could detoxify hundreds of poisons. However, they did not expect that this Detoxification Pill could not only detoxify poisons but also detoxify Gu worms.
That was because the Gu worms did not dare to get close to the person who ate the Detoxification Pill, as if they had a natural enemy.
The group of people followed Eunuch Zhang and soon arrived outside the royal study.
Eunuch Zhang went in first to report,” Your Majesty, bad news. Little Black, it… Something happened to it!”
When the Emperor heard this, his expression changed slightly. He asked sternly,” Little Black, what happened to it?”
Although this Little Black was a bird, it was very eloquent and often helped him to relieve his boredom.
Most importantly, Little Black had saved his life twice.
It could accurately identify danger.
As long as it was a dangerous thing or place, Little Black would remind him.
Therefore, the Emperor valued Little Black very much. He treated it like his own child.
Lin Yuelan had been wronged this time. He could continue to trust her because of Little Black.
Because Little Black was a gift from Lin Yuelan to the Emperor.
Eunuch Zhang shook his head.” I don’t know. Little Black was flying in the air and suddenly fell down.”
The Emperor immediately asked,” Where’s Little Black?”
Eunuch Zhang replied,” Your Majesty, Little Black is being carried by the Great General!”
“Then hurry up and call the imperial physician!” The Emperor ordered sternly.
Eunuch Zhang hesitated for a moment, then whispered a few words into the Emperor’s ear.
Immediately, the Emperor’s pupils contracted violently, and his expression changed. He then asked solemnly,” Eunuch Zhang, are you sure what you said is true? If you lie, I will kill you immediately!”
Eunuch Zhang’s expression changed, and he said very loyally,” Your Majesty, everything this old servant said is true.”
The Emperor thought about it and said,” Then let them come in first!”
Eunuch Zhang’s expression changed again, and he cried out in shock,” Your Majesty, you must not!”
The Emperor’s dignified face sank, and he said sharply,” Hmph, I want to see what they want to do. Is it because of this golden chair under my butt?!”
Eunuch Zhang was still worried.” Your Majesty, this…”
The Emperor raised his hand to stop him from continuing to dissuade him. He said,” There’s no need to say anything else. Let them in!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
