Time is urgent, and there is no room for Wen Zheng to hesitate.Just when he was about to jump into the stream, suddenly a light boat came from upstream like an arrow off the string.

Standing on it was Lin Muxuan, an imperial physician from the imperial hospital. This person was wearing a green shirt and a bamboo hat. If it wasn't for the dazzling handsome face when he raised his eyes, Ye Chu might not have noticed it.

"Chen Lin Muxuan has a meeting with the emperor and the queen, and also asks the emperor to get on the bamboo boat quickly, and the minister will take the emperor to leave this place."

Seeing Lin Muxuan coming in a light boat in such a dangerous situation, Ye Chu's eyes lit up.

It has to be said that Lin Muxuan came at the right time.

Behind him, Ye Kang was already hastily preparing boats to pursue him, but Wen Zheng was injured and unable to swim in the water.

Lin Muxuan's small boat just happened to be able to carry Wen Zheng away from danger, and as long as he got to the crowd on the other side, Wen Zheng's safety would no longer have to be worried.

Wen Zheng was suspicious by nature, seeing Lin Muxuan's arrival by such a coincidence, even though the situation was critical, he still looked at Lin Muxuan with suspicion.

Lin Muxuan immediately understood the meaning of Wen Zheng, couldn't help but sighed in his heart, and explained nicely: "I am the imperial physician who is in charge of recuperating the empress's body, and my empress lives in Ye Xiang's mansion. You should come to visit from time to time. It just so happens that there is a medicinal herb that only blooms in winter growing in the Qingshui stream, today I want to go to the prime minister's mansion to ask for the empress's pulse after gathering the herbs."

Lin Muxuan is also good-tempered, knowing that if he can't dispel Wen Zheng's doubts, even if he takes Wen Zheng away in a hurry, there will be some verbal explanations on the way.

As he spoke, he pointed to the bamboo basket by his feet, which indeed contained a handful of strange-looking aquatic plants.

Only then did Wen Zheng believe that Lin Muxuan happened to come here and it was not a trap set by Ye Kang, so he quickly changed the boat.

Ye Chu couldn't help shaking his head when he saw the two people walking away, and then turned to look at Ye Kang who was chasing him.

She made a decisive decision and ordered: "Let the painting boat approach Ye Xiang's boat and block their way!"

Ye Kang saw that the speed of the boat in front of him slowed down, his brows twitched fiercely, and the ominous premonition in his heart became more and more serious.

When the members of the Ye family caught up with the boat that Ye Chu was riding on, the guards wearing swords laid wooden boards between the boats. Ye Kang didn't care about the two boats that were still shaking, and strode over with his hem up.

He didn't go to see Ye Chu, and he didn't care about the red tape on face, so he opened the curtain directly.There was no one in the cabin, only a piece of blood-stained white cloth was left on the small table.

Ye Kang's eyes were fixed on the white cloth, and after a while, he slowly moved to Ye Chu who was standing beside him.He paused every word, and almost squeezed out a sentence of reprimand, and said: "Don't you understand what the father is doing? If this is successful, you will be the most honorable empress dowager!"

Hearing this, Ye Chu sneered.

She had no thought about the power Ye Kang described. Ye Kang just wanted to use the child in her womb to control the government.At that time, even if she becomes the Empress Dowager, she will be just a pawn in the hands of Ye Kang, a powerful minister, to satisfy his ambition.

"I don't understand what Ye Xiang is saying. Ye Xiang came over in a hurry, didn't he even care about the rules and etiquette?"

Ye Chu simply pretended to be confused, and took advantage of Ye Kang's behavior of not saluting just now to mess around and buy Wen Zheng more time to escape.

Ye Kang couldn't see what his daughter was doing, so he couldn't help cursing in his heart, "I really don't know how to raise her"!

Although he did intend to use Ye Chu, if Wen Zheng died, Ye Chu would have innumerable benefits.

At that time, Ye Kang relied on his status as the prime minister to call on all the officials to protect Ye Chu with all the power of the country. When she gave birth to a child, he would be able to ascend the throne and become the queen mother in one fell swoop.

"You're stubborn, you'll have to suffer yourself sooner or later!" Ye Kang cursed angrily, then turned and left with a flick of his sleeves.

The scene of the father and daughter arguing fell into the eyes of the servant woman who followed after her.Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not understanding why Xiang Ye, who had always kept his emotions and anger indifferent, got angry with the queen.

Ye Chu didn't get the evidence of Ye Kang, and Ye Kang was too powerful at this time, and he was not someone she could control.

So even if Ye Kang caused such a big disturbance and almost put Wen Zheng to death, she couldn't punish Ye Kang because of it, and had to help Ye Kang cover it up in front of everyone.

After Lin Muxuan took Wen Zheng away, he didn't return to the palace immediately, but came to a medical clinic on the other side of Qingshui River.

The news of the emperor's disappearance has already spread in the palace, and among the ministers of the court, there are also people like Sangong Jiuqing who have heard that these pillars of the country are trying their best to stabilize the situation in the court.

Wen Zheng didn't want to implicate Ye Chu, so he tacitly concealed the fact that he was plotted by Ye Kang, but he still needed to give an explanation to the court minister during the period of his disappearance, and he was busy resting at this time.

Lin Muxuan has superb medical skills and is familiar with many famous doctors in the capital.

As soon as he took Wen Zheng into the hospital, he greeted the doctor sitting in the hall, and only said that Wen Zheng was an injured nobleman, so he must treat him well.But he himself changed his attire and concealed himself to report to Qin Qi.

Qin Qi has a very high status in the court and has always been at odds with Ye Kang, so he is the most suitable person to be a rescuer at this time.

This was Wen Zheng's order. After Lin Muxuan left, Wen Zheng restrained his worried expression.He glanced at the little fellow in the medical hall, and asked the latter to prepare a secluded room for himself.

After Lin Muxuan stepped into the gate of the Qin family, the turmoil disappeared, and Qin Qi quickly brought several important court officials to welcome Wen Zheng back to the palace.

It is not a trivial matter that the emperor returned suddenly with injuries on his body.The ministers who went to greet him all speculated that the most likely possibility was that Wen Zheng encountered an assassin outside.

Wen Zheng also followed suit and pushed the cause of his injury to the assassin. While everyone was discussing, Ye Kang hurriedly changed his clothes and stood outside the hall for his father-in-law to report.

When Eunuch Zhang saw Ye Kang, his eyes were filled with vigilance.

Today's Ye Kang is very different from the past. This Prime Minister Ye is a self-proclaimed noble and famous person, and has always paid great attention to rules.But today he is disheveled, which shows that he came in a hurry.

Wen Zheng looked at Ye Kang who was saluting in front of him, his heart was extremely cold, but he still forced a smile on his face to comfort everyone.

"Don't worry, my lords. Although I have injuries on my body when I go out this time, it is not a serious problem. The assassin has escaped now, but I have ordered the hidden guards in the palace to investigate."

Hearing what Wen Zheng meant, Ye Kang nodded in embarrassment, and said, "It's a good thing that the emperor is fine!"
