Just then, the emperor, who was still lying in bed, slowly opened his eyes.

Upon seeing this, the Empress quickly stepped forward and helped the Emperor up.

"How are you feeling?" The Queen's voice trembled slightly.

"It's alright. Xiao Dezi, take some more silver notes and gold jewelry to the Princess's residence and tell the Princess about my situation. See if she has any ideas."

The Empress was puzzled. If the princess had been poisoned, shouldn't the emperor have searched the world for the best doctors? What good would it have done?

The young princess is indeed highly skilled, but I've never heard of her being particularly good at medicine.

The Emperor waved his hand to dismiss all the maids serving in the room, then grasped the Empress's hand and said, "Yuan'er, the letter warned you to be careful of Prince Xiaoyao, but if you still encounter misfortune and the imperial physicians are unable to help, you can go to the young princess and tell her that she has a solution."

He coughed violently, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

The Empress gently patted his back and said, "Since Yuan'er has said so, then the little princess must have a way to cure His Majesty."

The emperor nodded.

…

Inside the princess's residence, Xia rushed in to report that Eunuch De from the palace was requesting an audience.

Su Muyao guessed that they were probably inviting her to a welcome banquet for the Prince of Xiaoyao tomorrow.

I had heard about this from the head maid in the manor before. After lunch, Granny Liu told me that the Prince of Xiaoyao would definitely throw a big banquet when he returned to the capital.

According to Granny Liu, this Prince Xiaoyao is no ordinary person.

Not only does it say that the current emperor does not have a legitimate imperial seal and is an emperor that even the ancestors do not recognize, but he has always been ambitious and wants to replace the emperor.

Su Muyao had heard about what happened in Liuzhou from her family before. She heard that it was this carefree prince who deliberately intercepted the border soldiers' supplies.

That's why thousands of soldiers lost their lives, and the imperial court had no choice but to get food from nearby sources.

It was precisely because of this that so many people starved to death.

"Okay, coming right away."

When Su Muyao arrived at the front hall, she found Eunuch De pacing back and forth, looking anxious.

"Please sit down, Master De. Xia, please serve some good tea."

As soon as Eunuch De saw Su Muyao arrive, he quickly pulled her aside and began to whisper, "Oh my little darling, please save our Emperor... It's because of Prince Xiaoyao that our Emperor is now unconscious."

His Highness the Crown Prince previously sent a letter saying that if anything were to happen to the Emperor, he instructed this old servant to consult with you, the young princess.

Su Muyao frowned. Even after Long Yuanren left, he was still causing her trouble.

When Eunuch De saw Su Muyao frowning, he remembered the Emperor's instructions.

"This was sent by the Emperor, Princess." She said, opening a nanmu wood box on the table.

As soon as the small box was opened, Su Muyao's eyes were glued to it.

On top of the box was a stack of silver notes, and the first one on top was a hundred taels note.

Then, Eunuch De took out the stack of silver notes, and underneath were some precious gems and jade artifacts, as well as a large, gleaming gold ingot.

As expected of His Majesty, he truly knows what he likes.

"Please wait a moment, Father-in-law. I'll go back to my room to get some things. Please wait a moment."

After saying that, he winked at Xia, who quickly grabbed the box of gold and silver jewelry from in front of Eunuch De and followed Su Muyao out.

Grandpa De's lips twitched; he was both amused and exasperated...

After arriving at the room, Su Muyao asked Xia Xia to put away the gold and silver jewelry. She then took out a glass bottle from her spatial storage and filled it with a small bottle of spiritual spring water before heading to the palace with her father-in-law.

With Eunuch De leading the way, the journey was smooth and they soon arrived at the emperor's bedroom.

After reporting, Su Muyao entered the palace and came to the bedside. She saw that the emperor's face was pale and his lips were bluish-purple, as if he had been poisoned.

"Greetings to Your Majesty, may Your Majesty enjoy boundless blessings and peace. Greetings to Your Majesty the Empress, may Your Majesty enjoy boundless blessings and peace."

"Please rise quickly," the Empress said, helping Su Muyao up.

"Mu Yao, please help me see if there's a cure for your royal uncle's poison."

Without any pretense, Su Muyao stepped forward and fed the emperor the spiritual spring water from the glass bottle in her hand.

Eunuch De, who had initially wanted to stop her, looked at the Empress's expression and felt it was unnecessary. This was someone the Emperor trusted. If even the little princess couldn't be saved, then no one could save the Emperor.

Even if we slowly find a way, the emperor can't wait that long.

In truth, he didn't believe in a young princess, especially one so young, and thought that while some of her strange things were unusual, he could still barely accept them.

But when it comes to medical skills, even if this child started learning medicine from birth, he could only learn the basics.

The poison that all the imperial physicians in the entire palace couldn't cure, can the little princess really cure it?

While Eunuch De was still pondering to himself, he saw that after the little princess finished feeding the emperor, the emperor's entire face turned from white to red.

His lip color gradually returned to normal, but suddenly the emperor sat up and vomited a pool of black blood.

"call"

The Empress watched nervously from the side, only to see the Emperor take a deep breath and then smile calmly.

"As expected of the little princess, as soon as I drank this divine medicine, I instantly felt that my breathing was smooth again."

After saying that, he beckoned to Su Muyao, "Come here, let me take a good look at you."

Su Muyao rolled her eyes so hard they wanted to reach the sky. This wasn't the first time she'd seen him like this, and he still wanted her to take a good look at him.

I don't think they want to see a baby like me. They probably want to see what the miracle drug that saved them looks like.

"Your Majesty, this was a gift from my master, and there's not much left."

"I saved His Highness the Crown Prince before, so he knows I still have some left." As he spoke, he handed over the spiritual spring water that the emperor hadn't finished drinking.

The emperor held the glass bottle with great delight, saying, "This is the first time I've ever seen such transparent glass."

Oh no, and that iron lump of yours is also covered in glass like that.

"If Your Majesty is interested, you can go back another day and see if there are any books on glassmaking among the ones your master gave you. Then you can present them to Your Majesty and have the Ministry of Rites make them for you."

Upon hearing this, the emperor patted Su Muyao's head and said, "Those blockheads in the Ministry of Rites are no match for you. All those people are no match for Princess Chang'an's little head."

After saying that, he tapped Su Muyao's little head.

The Empress covered her mouth and chuckled to herself. Seeing that the Emperor was much better, Eunuch De withdrew from the room.

This matter is of great importance. The Emperor's good news should not be publicized, at least not before the Prince of Xiaoyao leaves. Otherwise, who knows if the Prince of Xiaoyao will secretly plot against us again?

"Now that you are a little princess, you should not call me 'Your Majesty' anymore. Just call me 'Uncle Emperor'."

There's no need for such a grand ceremony in the future. I've said it before, how could someone as clever as you be so forgetful?

Su Muyao smiled innocently, "Uncle Emperor, Muyao will remember."

"Good, good!" The emperor's wrinkles deepened as he smiled.

Su Muyao was quite happy to be at ease, at least she didn't have to do it like others, and the kneeling ceremony made her feel quite comfortable.

I had initially thought the emperor would be polite and wouldn't actually refuse to kneel, but now I realize it's really unnecessary.

"Yaoyao, you are to attend the banquet tomorrow, but I am worried that Prince Xiaoyao may harm you. So when you go back, you should take a few people with you. They will escort you to the palace tomorrow."
