Chapter 54 Between Life and Death

The remnant sun is like blood, and the sky is full of clouds.

Ling Yue closed her eyes tightly and her cheeks were red. The imperial doctors who thought everything was safe again fell into anxiety because of Ling Yue's delay in waking up. The doctors wiped Ling Yue's forehead over and over again, but they did not see any improvement.

Just when the imperial doctors were helpless, Liu Ye said quietly, "Needles."

But his status is so low that no one will pay attention to him at all. Liu Ye looked coldly at the anxious depressed people, went straight to the bedside, and took out the golden needle in the medicine box from Liu Yao's surprised eyes.

"You bold slave, is the medicine box of the imperial doctor also something you touched? Get out of here." Liu Yao was originally restless, and when he saw Liu Ye doing such a messy thing, an anger suddenly rose in his heart. A few steps to the night, his backhand was slapped in the face.

To everyone's surprise, Liu Yao was beaten and empty, and Liu Ye had already sat by the bed with a golden needle in his hand.

Liu Yao just wanted to wave his hand again, but his eyes were like frost, staring at Liu Yao coldly: "Lord Liu, what a great official."

"When is it your turn to talk here?"

"In terms of identity, Lord Liu, you are the head of the imperial hospital. Naturally, you are much more noble than my humble slave, but you also heard the princess's words before. If I have something wrong, even if the princess doesn't take you out of eight pieces, at least she will let you bury me.

"Bitch, the head of my imperial hospital, how can I be afraid of you, a powerful slave?" Although Liu Yao is angry, it is not unreasonable to think about Liu Ye's words. It's just that people live a face and a tree. How could he be defeated by the most humble palace man when Liu Yao's hand fanned to Liu Ye.

A light cough suddenly sounded, and everyone's eyes fell on Xia Di who walked in from the curtain.

"How's it going? Is the princess awake?"

"Return to the emperor, princess... The princess hasn't woken up yet." Liu Yao didn't care about the night and hurriedly saluted Emperor Xia.

Xia Di frowned and said, "Hasn't you woken up yet? Hasn't the hidden weapon been taken out of the body? Why is he still unconscious?

"Weichen believes that the princess is a false fire, causing her to blush. When Weichen opens a recipe to clear the fire and let the princess take it down, the princess will definitely wake up within six hours."

"Then why don't you go to the prescription quickly and ask the doctors to decoct the medicine? What are you still doing here?"

"Yes, Weichen obeys the order."

Liu Ye ignored what happened. He remembered that Ling Yue told him that if she could not wake up before dark, she would stab her nails with a needle.

"Ryu Ye, what are you doing?" Xia Di saw Liu Ye sitting by the bed, holding Ling Yue's hand and stabbing the golden needle between his fingers.

"I don't know."

"I don't know? Since I don't know why you did this?"

"The princess told the slave to stab the princess's nails if she couldn't wake up before dark."

"Bitch, the princess is so weak now. How can she withstand the pain of golden needle piercing her fingers? Ten fingers are connected to the heart. Do you want the princess to die?" Liu Yao asked harshly.

Liu Ye lowered her eyes and said lightly, "I don't know. I only know how to do it according to the princess's instructions. Since the princess said so, she must have her own reason."

"Liu Ye, you should know that if the princess wakes up and is safe, you will naturally be safe, but if the princess dies, you will not escape the death penalty." A smile slipped on Emperor Xia's lips. That kind of smile was very familiar. In Cangguo, he had also seen that smile appeared on Emperor Cangdi's face. Perhaps when every king looks down at the people, a god-like smile will appear on his face.

"Only then did I know that if anything happened to the princess, I would definitely apologize with death."

"Let me think about it... If the princess survives safely this time, how about I rewarding you with the position of deputy chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

Liu Ye turned his head, and doubts appeared on his handsome and feminine face: "Chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs? How much is the salary?"

"600 taels of silver."

"Ah, it's only 600 taels of silver. What a stingy." As soon as he said this, everyone looked at the night as if stunned. In the face of the emperor's reward, there are still people who dare to think it is less. Throughout the ages, it is estimated that only this immortal Liu Ye can say such words. Liu Xi had already raised his heart to his throat. If it had been him, he would have kowtowed eight heads on the ground to thank the emperor for his kindness. How could he bargain there?

"So what position do you want?" Xia Di was not angry, but asked with great interest.

"I want to go to the supervisory institute."

The smile on Xia Di's face became more and more intense: "Supervisory Institute? Are you afraid of this place where everyone is far away?

"I don't know, but I think the name of the Supervision Institute sounds better than the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs feel like it is specially cleaned for the emperor."

"Ha ha, you are interesting. OK, if the princess can get out of danger safely this time, I will let you be responsible for managing the files of the Supervision Institute. What do you think? Xia Di took a sip of the teacup handed over by Liu Xi.

File file? OK. However, if anyone wants to check the file file in the future, he must give me money to see it.

"Puff..." The tea in his mouth was touched on the ground, and he never thought that Liu Ye would make such a request to him. Previously, when Ling Yue's life and death were at stake, she proposed to raise money. Sure enough, there must be a master and a servant. "You, you are really worthy of being a princess."

"Although the file is idle, there is no oil and water. Your Majesty, you can't give me a job without oil and water." Liu Ye frowned.

"What, Liuye, do you like silver very much?"

"I like it. As the saying goes, it is difficult to make money into horses. It is naturally much more convenient to do things with money."

"No one has ever dared to ask me for money like this."

"There are exceptions to everything. If I want silver, I will clearly tell the emperor that if you are willing to give it, Liu Ye will naturally be grateful. If you think that I am not worthy of silver, then I have nothing to blame. Anyway, if you don't bring money or die, it's useless to take too much.

"What a fang-tooth slave, I'm accurate."

"Thank you, Emperor."

There is no complacency in the spring breeze, and the eyes of the flowing night are still like meditation, deep like an invisible lake.

Xia Di couldn't see through the deep lake, but he faintly felt a very familiar breath from Liu Ye. This discovery shocked Xia Di, but he quickly rejected the absurd idea in his heart.

"How are your parents?"

"Parents? I don't know." Liuye thought for a moment and replied in a flat tone, "Maybe I have done something wrong, so they want to abandon me."

"So, don't you know who your parents are?"

"I don't know, but it doesn't matter if they know. Anyway, they don't want me anymore. Ah... So, silver is still the most important thing in the world." Liu Ye put one finger on his chin and said seriously, "Oh no, I almost forgot the business."

After saying that, Liu Ye lowered his head again and focused his attention on the golden needle of his right hand.

The golden needle shines under the candlelight. When the golden light gradually approached Ling Yue's slender fingertips, some medical women even carried their backs. The heartbreaking pain was just a look, and it was already a kind of cruel punishment. What's more, lying on **, it is the princess who is usually spoiled to bear the pain of ten fingers.

Liu Ye carefully controlled the speed of the needle. He knew that the slower it was, the more painful the stabbed person would be, so the effort of a cup of tea was only pierced into a grain of rice. Liu Ye's forehead oozed fine sweat. From time to time, he looked at Ling Yue lying with his eyes closed. He hoped that the closed eyes could be opened, so that he did not have to suffer the piercing pain of the cone heart like her.

In fact, Ling Yue was more nervous and scared than anyone else. But all this was covered by his indifferent face. He believes that Ling Yue and his sister will survive.

"Your Majesty..." Liu Yao was just about to say something, but was stopped by Emperor Xia's eyes, so he had to swallow the words back to his throat.

"Wake up, wake up..." Liu Ye's eyes were covered with a layer of fog, and finally turned into big hot tears dripping on the velvet quilt. "You promised me to protect me, you promised me that you would never leave me... What you said can't be counted..."

The sound is like blood, who hears it?

It was another cup of tea. Liu Ye closed his lips and took out the second golden needle...

It's just that when the second golden needle pierced his fingers, Ling Yue still woke up. What's worse, Ling Yue's original red face had become pale as paper and her hands became cold. It seems that he will die at any time.
