"I want you to cooperate inside and outside, and catch the turtle in the urn!"
Tang Nian met Xiao Yan's gaze and nodded cautiously.
"Your Majesty, I am fortunate to have lived up to my command."
The Xie family received news that Tang Nian from the Taiyuan Hospital poisoned the emperor to kill him. The Emperor was helpless and the Taiyuan Hospital was helpless.
Cheng Yi raised troops to rebel, and Xie Mingyuan also joined Cheng Yi's rebellion on the grounds of "seeking justice for Xie Minghua".
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yan was not poisoned at all, and both of them were killed by Xiao Yan!
"God bless me, Kang Qing. Tang Nian from Imperial Hospital has done a great job in escorting me. I am specially named a sixth-grade medical officer——"
*
"Tang Imperial Physician, Tang Imperial Physician." The palace maid in green called in a low voice, bringing Tang Nian's thoughts back to reality.
Tang Nian came back to his senses and looked down at the sapphire official uniform he was wearing. It had auspicious clouds embroidered with gold thread, which was noble and majestic.
He reached out and touched it, and when his fingertips touched the cold silk, an indescribable excitement surged in his heart.
Tang Nian's eyes shone with determination, and the humiliation and pain he once felt had now turned into inner strength.
Tang Nian raised his head, straightened his back, and slowly walked out of the Xuanzheng Hall.
The sun shone on his body, and the sapphire official uniform reflected the dazzling light. His jade-like gentle face glowed with unprecedented confidence and pride.
Correcting the plot, then only Xiao Yan needs to be eliminated.
As long as Kang Qing dies, the whole world will get back on track.
"Your Majesty." Tang Nian leaned over slightly. Xiao Yan only held a white jade chess piece in his mouth. The chess piece fell into the chessboard, and Xiao Yan also raised his eyes.
"Doctor Tang, will you accompany me for the next game?"
"Your Majesty, I'm not good at chess. I'm afraid..." Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yan had someone prepare the cushion.
"It's okay, I'm blessed."
Fu Haiquan immediately put the black chess piece in Tang Nian's hand, "Tang Taiyi, please."
Tang Nian looked at the black stones on the chessboard and sighed inwardly. This Xiao Yan is indeed a master. His chess skills are probably...
However, he quickly came to his senses and dropped his sword.
Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows slightly. The two of them were playing against each other. They were going back and forth, and the atmosphere became tense for a while.
"Tang Imperial Physician, the situation is not good." Xiao Yan looked at Tang Nian with a half-smile, as if he was sure of victory.
Tang Nian took a deep breath, his fingertips trembled slightly, and a black stone drew an elegant arc on the chessboard.
"Who will lose and who will win is yet to be determined."
As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew by, and the chess pieces on the chessboard flew away with the wind, and the situation between the two of them was instantly reversed.
Xiao Yan looked at the chess pieces on the chessboard and was stunned for a moment, then he laughed. He raised his hand and patted Tang Nian on the shoulder, "Tang Taiyi's chess skills are indeed superb. Today is really an eye-opener for me."
Tang Nian smiled slightly and felt relieved. He stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for the reward. I was just lucky."
Xiao Yan waved his hand, motioning for him to sit down, and then said: "Tang Imperial Physician, I have something to discuss with you."
"Your Majesty, please speak." Tang Nian felt a little uneasy, but he still maintained a calm demeanor.
Xiao Yan was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "I want to make you the envoy of the Taiyuan Hospital and take charge of the affairs of the Taiyuan Hospital. What do you think?"
"But, just now..."
Tang Nian's eyes fell on Fu Haiquan. It was clear that Fu Haiquan had just announced the decree and Xiao Yan named him the imperial doctor.
It's just that he is only half a step higher than the medical officer.
Now that he was directly promoted to the second rank, he was really frightened.
"I am willing to die for Your Majesty." Tang Nian felt warm in his heart, knowing that this was Xiao Yan trying to comfort him, but he did not relax his vigilance towards Xiao Yan.
"It's not necessary to die, but... I feel that my body has been severely deficient recently. I heard that the Tang Dynasty physician has a secret technique that can restore his glory..."
"Pfft." Tang Nian almost spat out the tea that had just been brought to his mouth. "Cough, cough..." Tang Nian coughed a few times.
Xiao Yan's voice was low, with a hint of exhaustion, "Fu Haiquan, present the list."
Fu Haiquan responded and handed a thick stack of rosters to Tang Nian.
Tang Nian opened it and saw that the names of everyone in Tai Hospital were densely written on it. Each person's name was followed by a string of numbers. The numbers may be large or small, but they all represent different meanings.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and he instantly understood Xiao Yan's intention.
Xiao Yan wants him to find out the details of everyone!
"I will give this list to you, the Imperial Physician of the Tang Dynasty. On the pretext of treating me, you will conduct a thorough investigation for me of the spies planted by the Cheng family in the Imperial Hospital."
Tang Nian was shocked. This Xiao Yan was really not simple. He originally thought that he was imprisoned by Xiao Yan because of his "show of love", but he didn't expect that he was raising soldiers.
His chess piece can be reused.
According to Xiao Yan's suspicion, he should not be reused so quickly.
He looked up at Xiao Yan and saw Xiao Yan looking at him with a smile, his eyes full of trust.
Tang Nian smiled slightly, lowered his head and signed on the list, "I will definitely live up to my mission."
Xiao Yan nodded with satisfaction, "Fu Haiquan, send the Tang imperial doctor out of the palace."
Tang Nian stood up and cupped his hands and said, "I'm leaving."
After saying that, he walked away.
As soon as he walked out of the Xuanzheng Hall, a gust of cold wind blew, and Tang Nian couldn't help but shiver.
He subconsciously tightened his collar, but found that a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on his palms.
"Son!"
Tang Nian heard the sound and looked over, only to see two old men standing outside the palace gate, their faces full of vicissitudes of life.
Their clothes were simple and their hands were trembling. It was obvious that they had been waiting for a long time.
Tang Nian's heart moved and he stepped forward, "Father? Mother?"
When the two old men heard this, they looked up at Tang Nian, their eyes full of excitement, "My son, you are finally back."
Tang Nian felt warm in his heart, sore in his nose, and almost shed tears.
He hurriedly raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of his eyes, and forced out a smile, "Yes, the child is unfilial and makes the elders worried."
He looked at his elderly parents and felt his heart pounding.
They didn't know how much torture they suffered in the Xie family for their own sake.
Fortunately, Xiao Yan was taking care of him, otherwise, Tang Nian might not have been able to see him for the last time.
He secretly vowed to let them live a good life.
"Father, mother, let's go." Tang Nian supported them and slowly walked out of the palace.
As the sun sets, the golden afterglow shines on them, stretching their shadows very long...
"Nian'er, these years, have you... been okay?" Mrs. Lin hesitated, holding a chopstick of tofu in her hand, "Nian'er, these years, your husband and I have been fortunately protected by His Majesty, who has protected us. He was rescued by his subordinates. When you are on duty by His Majesty’s side, you must do your best.”
Tang Nian hesitated to speak while holding rice in his hands. It seemed that his parents had no idea about his imprisonment.
It's all because of the devil Xiao Yan, who imprisoned him alive for three years.
For Tang Nian, it was just a moment——
But for Tang Nian in the plane world, it was simply torture.
"Mother, you and your father don't have to worry about it in the future. The emperor has promoted your son's position. Now he is the history of the hospital."
