She turned around, glanced at Physician Hu, and then said to the Emperor, "Your Majesty, fortunately Physician Hu has brought the poison under control. Chun-ge'er is out of danger for the time being, and the poison can be cured."

Zhao Huan nodded and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."

Although Zhao Huan's tone was calm, his palms were already completely cold and damp.

His heart, which had been pounding with anxiety, finally eased a little.

Zhao Huan said calmly, "Imperial Physician Hu, please get up."

Physician Hu was so frightened that he was drenched in sweat. Upon hearing the emperor's words, he felt as if he had been granted a pardon: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

He looked at Qian Ling'er gratefully. Fortunately, Qian Ling'er had come, and fortunately, the poison could be cured.

At the same time, Physician Hu was also deeply shocked.

This poison was something even the imperial physician had never heard of before; how could Qian Ling'er possibly cure it?

Qian Ling'er said, "Open all my toolboxes."

He Liming quickly opened Qian Ling'er's delicate and beautiful toolbox himself.

Qian Ling'er ordered someone to remove Zhao Chun's upper garment and take out 108 needles.

Her jade-like hands deftly held the silver needles, swiftly piercing them into Zhao Chun's back. Her method was similar to that of Physician Hu, yet also quite different.

All 108 needles were inserted, including into Zhao Chun's head and feet.

"Your Majesty, this is a rare poison from the Western Regions called Black Widow. It was introduced to Dunhuang from the Abbasid Caliphate during the early Tang Dynasty, and a small amount entered the Central Plains. According to unofficial historical records, Emperor Suzong of Tang was poisoned to death by this poison. Black Widow has been absent from the Central Plains for more than four hundred years. It is normal that Physician Hu cannot detoxify it."

As Qian Ling'er spoke, she took out her jade medicine jar, and each of them took some medicine, and began to mix and grind it.

Her composure calmed everyone present.

Physician Hu couldn't help but interject, "How did Dr. Qian know that?"

"That's what the book says."

It took about half an hour for Qian Ling'er to prepare the medicine.

They set up the stove again and began to brew the medicine.

Qian Ling'er's movements were skillful, and she completed everything in one go.

Moreover, the operation feels smooth and fluid.

Half an hour later, the medicine was ready.

Physician Hu was somewhat surprised and hesitant.

After all, Qian Ling'er was not a professional doctor. Was it too frivolous to rashly give medicine to the emperor's most beloved son?

"His Majesty……"

Zhao Huan raised his hand to interrupt Physician Hu, saying, "Dr. Qian, I'm entrusting this to you."

Qian Ling'er fed Zhao Chun the medicine, filling a whole bowl.

Then he began packing, saying as he did so, "Your Majesty, I have prepared all the dosages of medicine. You only need to take these medicines to be cured."

Qian Ling'er began to pack the medicine into individual packets.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Zhao Chun's eyelids began to twitch.

He slowly opened his heavy eyes, his vision still somewhat blurry.

Zhao Huan was overjoyed: "Chun-ge'er, how are you feeling?"

"Father..."

Zhao Chun's breathing was still very weak, but his complexion had improved.

Zhao Huan gently held Zhao Chun's small hand, which was trembling.

"Chun-ge'er, you should rest well. Don't talk too much. You'll get better."

After saying that, Zhao Huan turned around and said, "Go and inform the Imperial Noble Consort to come to Yanfu Palace."

Shao Chengzhang replied, "Yes!"

Throughout the journey, Han Chenchen kept thinking that Zhao Huan had finally remembered her.

I've been busy with state affairs every day lately, and we haven't seen each other for some time now.

On the way, she saw the Imperial Guards arresting a group of people and asked, "Commander Xie, what are they doing?"

Xie Dahai said, "Greetings, Your Highness. Today, His Majesty noticed something unusual during his meal and ordered me to handle the matter."

Han Chenchen's heart suddenly sank, and an ominous premonition surged into her mind.

Before long, Han Chenchen arrived at Yanfu Palace.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects."

"Imperial Noble Consort, there is something you should be prepared for, but it has been resolved."

Han Chenchen looked around and guessed what was going on; her face immediately turned pale.

"Chun-ge'er was poisoned, but fortunately Dr. Qian has already cured him."

Han Chenchen seemed not to hear what Zhao Huan said, and rushed over, her heart breaking.

Which mother doesn't love her child? Seeing Zhao Chun's pale face, her heart bled.

But she had been in the palace for more than a decade, and her temperament had long since become calm and composed.

"It's good that it's resolved. There's no need to make a fuss about it," Han Chenchen said. "I saw Commander Xie arresting people on the way here. I thought to myself, this matter needs to be investigated thoroughly, so as not to wrongly accuse the people below."

Zhao Huan nodded; he had always felt very lucky.

Although Zhu Lian and Han Chenchen have very different personalities, they are both sensible women who know what is important and what is not.

Zhao Huan had relaxed and said, "Dr. Qian, I will reward you with ten thousand taels of gold and bestow upon you the title of Marquis!"

Qian Ling'er replied somewhat calmly, "Thank you, Your Majesty. It is my duty."

Zhao Huan was glad that he had shown leniency to the Qian family back then.

Zhao Huan then said, "Dr. Qian, you may make a wish to me, whatever it may be, I will grant it."

Qian Ling'er said, "I have no particular wish. My only wish is to find more effective medicines to relieve the suffering of the people of the Song Dynasty."

"With a minister like you, I am truly comforted."

The crowd dispersed.

Night fell.

At the residence of the Marquis of Yongwu, Han Shizhong donned his armor, and Liang Hongyu said, "Husband, it's already dark, and it's snowing heavily. Why are you wearing armor today?"

"His Majesty has personally ordered the Imperial Guards to be on full alert throughout the city. This must be something serious, and I need to investigate it personally."

"My lord, we will be going to war in a few months, and I have a bad feeling about it."
