If he had wanted to die, he could have chosen poison wine, white silk, scissors, and a dagger. Because if he died like this, he could still keep his corpse intact.

However, when an order was given to behead, it would be done so that the head would be chopped off and the body would be dismembered. This was something that would normally only happen to people who had committed great crimes.

Everyone knew that the Imperial Physician Shangguan was wronged, but so what? Every year, more than half of the people in this palace die in injustice.

Wen Yi could not bother to look at Song Yunqian. The Emperor wanted to execute the Imperial Physician Shangguan, reminding her of how he died. She operated on a patient, who died, and the patient's father, who was angry at her, stabbed her. The greatest tragedy of being a doctor is that doctors are not gods themselves, they are not omnipotent, but all the patients want to be able to have the magic of heaven. It had to be known that life and death injuries were inevitable for everyone. In the eyes of the patients, the existence of doctors could either save lives or be used to blame.

If Taiyuan Hospital was considered to be a pitiful rabbit, then Wen Yi was definitely the type to hurt her. Just like Imperial Physician Shangguan, she could not save the patient and was sentenced to death by the patient's family. This was also the reason why Wen Yi hurriedly ran off to plead for Imperial Physician Shangguan.

She first went to the Taiyuan Hospital and got the prescription that the Imperial Physician Shangguan wrote that day, and asked the Lord of Academic adjudication, who said the prescription was correct. When he heard that Wen Yi wanted to rush to the Taiyuan Hospital, the Academic adjudication immediately gave the love letter that she wrote with Long Fei to Wen Yi, asking her to submit it to the Emperor.

Right now, there was only an hour left before noon.

Wen Yi didn't know where the emperor was. She asked a few palace maid s and they all said she didn't know, so she led the mama and Xiao Ju to walk around the palace in a hurry, asking anyone who saw her. But she didn't know if the emperor was currently in the Imperial study or his own bedchamber.

Wen Yi turned for a while, then stomped her feet and said: "Don't bother looking for us, let's go to the afternoon gate!"

The main entrance to the imperial palace was at noon. The officials of the imperial court had to wait at the main entrance to the imperial palace.

Wen Yi sprinted, leaving mama and Xiao Ju behind. She did not know why she did not feel any pain despite having injuries on her leg, as though her pain senses had been destroyed.

The meridian gate was very big. There were two small doors on the left and right side. Although they were called small, they weren't considered small. It was just that they were slightly smaller than the main entrance.

There were already several people standing in the open area at the entrance of the gate. Without a watch, she didn't know if it was already a quarter to noon or not.

When he saw that there were no traces of blood on the ground, he calmed down a bit. It seemed like he hadn't arrived yet.

She quickly looked back and saw two guards bringing out a middle-aged man with disheveled hair and torn clothes. His hands and feet were on iron chains and he was half dragged out. Without any shoes on, both of his feet were stained with blood. He must have been forcefully dragged along like this all the way here.

Wen Yi anxiously stepped forward to stop him, and asked: "Imperial Physician Shangguan?"

Imperial Physician Shangguan raised his dejected and lifeless eyes and looked at Wen Yi. He had met Wen Yi once before, on the day of the difficult childbirth in Princess Zhenyuan. He was a little taken aback. "Princess?"

The jailer did not recognize Wen Yi but upon hearing Imperial Physician Shangguan's address him as such, she could not help but look sideways, and said respectfully and seriously: "Royal Concubine, please do not stop us from carrying out the imperial edict!"

The autumn sun was shining down on them from above, and it was almost noon. Wen Yi ran all the way over, with beads of sweat on her forehead that sparkled under the sunlight. She hurriedly said, "He's innocent, we can't chop!"

The guard frowned: "Princess, I was ordered by the king to escort the prisoners to the market."

"Caishikou? Isn't it cut here? " Wen Yi was startled, she had been beheaded in the afternoon, wasn't she beheading in the afternoon?

The guard laughed: "This is a sacred place. How can we kill criminals here?" It is almost noon now, and we must kill the prisoners at noon. This is the royal decree of the Emperor; please do not make things difficult for this lowly position! "

So it was actually a quarter to ten in the afternoon. Wen Yi was secretly rejoicing in her heart, luckily she came here and stopped them. She didn't have time to figure out whether she should behead them at noon or send them out of the market via noon. She just wanted to stop this tragedy.

Since she had intercepted him here, she naturally could not let him go so easily.

Wen Yi raised her head to look at the prison warden, and said: "He is wrongly accused, I cannot let you take him away."

The guard said in a difficult tone: "The wrongdoings aren't related to the inferiors. The inferiors are just following orders. If wangfei feels that he is wronged then she can go to the emperor."

Wen Yi said: "I will go find royal father, I beg you, give me some time, delay the execution!"

The guard shook his head, "This, unless it is an imperial edict, I dare not delay the time of execution."

Wen Yi panicked and said: "In the end, it's just a life, how can you be so ruthless?"

Prison guard raised his head: "Princess, the ones who will die will be lowly."

The Imperial Physician Shangguan looked up at Wen Yi and said with gratitude, "If the wangfei is willing to run for the micron, I believe the micron is innocent. The micron is already very grateful, the two of them only followed orders, and the wangfei doesn't have to make things difficult for them. After the death of the micron, I just hope that the wangfei can help righteous micron and not implicate the entire family of the micron.

Wen Yi shook his head, "No, I can't just watch you die from grievances." Wen Yi saw that the guards were not willing to give in and was a little anxious. She remembered the old storyline from the TV series and quickly took off her hairpin and pushed it against her neck, threatening: "If you dare to bring Imperial Physician Shangguan away, then I will die here. When that time comes, you will not be able to account for it either!"

She used to think that such a way of self-harm was stupid, but it turned out that in a situation where there was no other way, it was possible to do such a stupid thing.

Stupid, but effective.

The guards were stunned as they looked at each other.

A few guards walked over. They were probably the guards in charge of escorting Imperial Physician Shangguan to the entrance of Caishikou. After they came forward and asked about the situation, one of them muttered to himself for a moment.

One of the guards answered and turned to leave.

Wen Yi was in a stalemate under the sun. She did not dare let go of the hairpin as she was afraid that the guards would come and take away her hairpin. Although he had never seen them execute martial arts, she knew that being able to serve in the palace was no easy task.

She maintained her position and waited for an hour before she saw the guard who had gone to fetch the decree returning in a hurry.

Prince Zhenyuan came along with him.

When Prince Zhenyuan saw Wen Yi, he immediately shouted, "Luo Yi, put down the hairpin."

Seeing him, Wen Yi heaved a sigh of relief, and said: "My prince, you have come at the right time. I have seen the prescription Imperial Physician Shangguan gave to An Ran.

Prince Zhenyuan glanced at Imperial Physician Shangguan, and said: "But, it's true that An Ran's illness worsened because she took the medicine prescribed by him."

Wen Yi explained: "Even if you didn't take the prescription that he prescribed, An Ran's sickness would have become more and more severe. He is an innate disease, fortunately, he had the prescription from the Imperial Physician Shangguan in order to keep his life." Imperial Physician Shangguan's prescriptions were all conservative methods, suitable for normal jaundice, so, as far as the prescriptions were concerned, he was not at all at fault. Luckily, the prescription he prescribed was able to stabilize his condition. As his condition worsened, so did many factors. Therefore, it had nothing to do with the prescription.

Hearing that, Prince Zhenyuan muttered to himself for a moment, and said with some difficulty: "But, the decree that royal father personally gave, when the golden mouth is opened, I'm afraid that the overflowing water will not be able to be retrieved!"

Seeing that Prince Zhenyuan also said the same thing, Wen Yi became anxious, and said: "Your highness, in the end, only one person lives, comparing heart to heart, Imperial Physician Shangguan also has family, if something happened to him, why would his family feel anxious and sad? Besides, if he deserved it, I would not care about it. However, I knew that he was innocent, and if I ignored him, I would be the one who killed him. I would probably live the rest of my life in guilt. Your Royal Highness, saving a person's life is better than creating a seven-layered pagoda. Your Highness, please reconsider. "

The Prince Zhenyuan was moved. To be honest, the lives of others were not important to him. However, his heartfelt words caused Prince Zhenyuan's heart to tremble. Of course, there was a need to talk about timing. If he had told the Prince Zhenyuan this earlier, he might not have taken it to heart and would not have felt it personally. Now that he had almost lost his beloved, as well as the unknown fate of his son, Wen Yi's words entered his heart.

Seeing his gentle expression, Wen Yi added, "Right now, safety is not over yet, it's really not a good time for us to slaughter each other."

Prince Zhenyuan looked up and said, "Alright, this king will follow you to see royal father for an order!"

Wen Yi's expression loosened, as the burden in her heart dropped, if he was willing to ask the Emperor for help, that would be for the best. She knew that her words were insignificant, and that the Emperor might not believe what she said. Especially since the Emperor had already spoken, it would be harder for him to retract his orders than to ascend to the heavens. But with the Prince Zhenyuan as a lobbyist, the situation would be different.

Prince Zhenyuan ordered the guards to temporarily suspend the execution, he led Wen Yi to Imperial study to look for the Emperor.

Before Prince Zhenyuan came to the Imperial study, he cautiously said to Wen Yi, "This north Hunan flood, the south Hunan drought, has given the royal father a headache. Over the past few days, he has been discussing the disaster relief with his official in the Imperial study. Listening to the person waiting for you at the front reporting that royal father has been in a bad mood for the past few days, please do not speak. This king asks you, and you answer my question. "

Wen Yi felt grateful in her heart, and said with raised eyes: "Yes, I will listen to Your Highness!"

The Prince Zhenyuan nodded and sighed. "This duke had really misjudged you in the past and thought that you …" In the end, Prince Zhenyuan did not finish his words. However, his expression showed some relief, as if he was comforted.

Wen Yi's eyes lit up. Although she did not understand what he said, but she could tell that he did not doubt her personality.

A steward Zhong Zheng, who was serving before the emperor, came out from the Imperial study and said softly, "Today's report from the disaster zone, saying that there was an outbreak, coupled with the fact that the emperor already knew that you had stopped the criminals, is currently in the midst of an uproar.

"Thank you for your reminder, Eunuch."

Zhong Zheng sighed, "As long as the situation in the affected area isn't stable, the Emperor's heart will be anxious and restless. Royal Highness, if the Emperor is unyielding, it's best not to force him, just protect yourself."

Wen Yi's heart skipped a beat. With a frown, she looked at Zhong Zheng who was in a dilemma. She knew that this trip wasn't going to be a good one.
