With Mo Xun's personal assistance, a bowl of medicine to relieve the expansion of the toxin was prepared. The medicine doesn't taste bitter, but instead has a light sweet fragrance.
Mo Xun brought the medicine into the house.
Shen Wei was like an unconscious puppet, and it was very difficult for her to swallow the potion. Li Yuanjing held Shen Wei in his arms and fed her the medicine little by little.
Mo Xun sighed and tactfully told Li Yuanjing: "If the imperial concubine can survive tonight, the toxins in her body will be slightly relieved. If she can't survive, the coffin from the Ministry of Internal Affairs will come in handy."
Li Yuanjing remained silent.
The spring night is dark, the moon and stars are cold.
The candle in the gilded palace lantern burned, and the wax wet the candlestick, which became shorter and shorter. The bedroom was quiet, the aroma of medicine in the copper stove quietly wafted away, Li Yuanjing leaned against the bed, his eyes fixed on the unconscious Shen Wei on the bed.
Deathly aura covered Shen Wei's face.
No longer fresh.
All the details of his time with Shen Wei over the years flashed through his mind like a passing replay. Li Yuanjing felt a dull pain in his heart, and it seemed as if something was blocking his throat.
Sad, scared, confused.
He held Shen Wei’s cold hand. Shen Wei's hands are always warm and hot all year round. Now, that slender white hand, exuding a heart-pounding chill, hung quietly and weakly, allowing Li Yuanjing to hold it.
Her voice was hoarse: "Weiwei, I was wrong."
In fact, he has long been unable to leave Shen Wei.
Li Yuanjing stayed in Yongning Palace all night.
No one knows how he spent that night.
Until the sky gradually turned pale and the faint morning light began to dispel the darkness. Mo Xun forced himself to be alert, walked sleepily into the bedroom, and checked Shen Wei's pulse.
Mo Xun said: "My medicine is effective. The toxins in the imperial concubine's body have been slightly suppressed. However, the toxins are too strong. I have tried everything I can, but I can only extend the imperial concubine's life for another half a month."
After not sleeping all night, Li Yuanjing had some blue stubble on his chin.
His handsome face looked haggard and tired.
Li Yuanjing put Shen Wei's cold little hand back into the quilt, and said in a hoarse voice: "I know."
Having escaped danger temporarily, Li Yuanjing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Eunuch Deshun asked outside the palace: "Your Majesty, are you going to adjourn today?"
The time for the morning court session was approaching. If Li Yuanjing wanted to stay in Yongning Palace to take care of Shen Wei, he could order a day off.
Since ascending the throne, Li Yuanjing has never stopped attending court.
Li Yuanjing looked at Shen Wei, who had temporarily escaped death on the bed, and then looked at the hazy morning light outside the window.
He was worried about Shen Wei and afraid that Shen Wei would die. But he still has the burden of the country on his shoulders and dares not neglect it for even a moment.
The so-called emperor is first the emperor of the world, and then the person beside Chen Wei.
"Go to court as usual." Li Yuanjing stood up slowly, his body swaying slightly. Having not slept a wink all night and being extremely nervous, Li Yuanjing was exhausted both physically and mentally.
He ordered the palace maids to take good care of Shen Wei, and sent someone to the Cining Palace to pass on a message to the empress dowager, who then ordered that the affairs of the harem be handed over to Zhang Miaoyu. After everything was settled, Li Yuanjing did not even bother to have breakfast and took a sedan chair to attend court.
Today is extra busy.
After the fall of Duke Lu's Mansion in Yunzhou, Li Yuanjing set up Yunzhou as a place to train troops and established a new port to transport goods from the south. In addition, there are promotions for officials in the Ministry of Personnel, discussions on new household registration policies in the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Justice's decision on how to deal with the Lu family, matters concerning agricultural irrigation in the Ministry of Works, spring floods in the Chang River...all kinds of big and small matters are piling up on the desks.
Li Yuanjing was busy all morning and finally had some free time.
At noon, I went to Yongning Palace to visit Shen Wei. Shen Wei was still in a coma, with a lingering aura of death and very weak breathing.
Li Yuanjing looked at Shen Wei's face carefully until fatigue overwhelmed his heart, then he took a nap on the small couch beside the bed.
...
...
The goshawk flew across the sky and across the dry sky of Liangzhou City.
In the general's mansion in the city, the emperor's urgent letter of eight hundred miles was delivered to Shen Mieyue and Sun Qingmei.
Chen Mieyue was horrified: "My sister is fine, how could she be poisoned? No, I have to go back to Yanjing City to check!"
Chen Mie became more and more anxious.
As the eldest brother of the Shen family, he has always cared about his younger brothers and sisters. Shen Qiang is farming and his life is generally smooth; Shen Xiuming is an official in the coastal area and is promoted smoothly. Only Chen Wei has been in the deep palace full of intrigue for a long time, and Chen Mieyue misses Chen Wei the most.
The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, and he quickly ordered people to prepare the horses.
Sun Qingmei stopped him and said calmly, "The emperor has ordered me to send the medicine back to the capital as soon as possible. If you and I both return to Yanjing, who will guard this huge Liangzhou City?"
Moreover, generals at the border are not allowed to enter the capital without being summoned.
If Chen Mieyue rashly returned to the capital, he would inevitably be criticized by court officials and arouse the emperor's fear.
Chen Mieyue's face turned red with anxiety: "But if something happens to my little sister, how can I explain to my father in the underworld!"
Sun Qingmei patted Shen Mieyue's hand, her beautiful face calm, "Send the detoxification pills over. With Divine Doctor Mo here, Concubine Chen will be fine. You continue to guard Liangzhou City, train the soldiers and strengthen your martial arts, and I will return to Yanjing immediately."
Sun Qingmei still has a detoxification pill in her hand.
That year, she met Dr. Mo among the people and received three detoxification pills. She gave Princess Zhaoyang an antidote pill.
Sun Qingmei always carried the remaining two detoxification pills with her. Last year, when Chen Mieyue was resisting the barbarians, he was poisoned by a rare poison. Sun Qingmei gave him an antidote pill to save his life.
Now, she just happened to have one left.
Chen Mieyue thought about it and could only nod in agreement. He took out his breastplate and handed it to Sun Qingmei solemnly: "Be careful on your journey. My little sister's life is in your hands. Have a safe journey."
Chen Mieyue and Sun Qingmei had fought side by side for many years. He knew that Sun Qingmei was "as good as a man" and was as good at both literature and martial arts as the veteran. Traveling a thousand miles, day and night, was no problem for Sun Qingmei.
"Well, take care of yourself too." Sun Qingmei said nothing more and quickly asked people to prepare horses and post station documents.
