Chapter 360
The man's health is currently unknown, and if Shen Zheng finds out, who knows what he might do.
Song Xuan said, "Just say that I and the Imperial Concubine were composing poems and painting in the tent and that we were not there."
Xia Zi nodded and prepared to leave, but Shen Qingnian said, "Wait, go and summon the commander. Have him guard the secret. No one is allowed to enter without His Majesty's order."
The guards outside the main tent were all highly skilled in martial arts, but if Shen Zheng forced his way in, they would not dare to stop him, or rather, they would not dare to hurt him. But with Jin Yi watching, it would be different.
“Do as Qingnian says,” Song Xuan said to Xiaxiazi.
Xiazi left.
When Shen Zheng, who was guarding outside the tent, heard Xia Zi say that His Majesty had rejected him, he immediately frowned. Just as he was about to say something more, he saw the imperial physician carrying a medicine box walk over.
Zhu Lan saw Shen Zheng outside the tent, bowed, and then invited the imperial physician into the tent.
Shen Zheng looked at the imperial physician thoughtfully, but said nothing more, only stroking his beard before leaving.
within the main account.
The imperial physician knelt before the bed, taking Song Xuan's pulse with a serious expression. His expression grew increasingly solemn.
"What is the reason Your Majesty has?" Shen Qingnian couldn't help but ask.
The imperial physician withdrew his hand, kowtowed to Song Xuan, and then said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Imperial Concubine, apart from a slight weakness in His Majesty's pulse, there is nothing seriously wrong."
Song Xuan asked, "Then why can't I get up, and why do I sometimes feel dizzy?"
He felt incredibly weak, as if this body wasn't his own and he couldn't control it, which frightened him.
Upon hearing Song Xuan's inquiry, the imperial physician repeatedly kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, but I truly cannot discern anything wrong with your pulse. I suspect your weakness is related to that cup of wine. As for Your Majesty's inability to rise and the dizziness... please forgive my incompetence, I cannot see any problem..."
By the end, the imperial physician's voice even trembled slightly.
The emperor was suffering from a strange illness, a matter of great importance that threatened the nation. Knowing this secret made him feel that he would lose his head at any moment.
Song Xuan lay on the couch, not enraged by the imperial physician's words. He merely half-closed his eyes, concealing the turbulent emotions within them.
"Eunuch Xia, send the imperial physician away. No one is allowed to divulge even a whisper of what happened today. If even a single word gets out, you'll lose your heads!" Shen Qingnian's tone was cold and stern, carrying a terrifying air of authority.
At this moment, she even resembled Song Xuan somewhat.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will not utter a single word," the imperial physician kowtowed loudly, his tone extremely humble.
Xiazi asked the imperial physician to leave the main tent, leaving only Shen Qingnian and Song Xuan inside.
Shen Qingnian's usually calm eyes were now filled with anger. She spoke ruthlessly, "Your Majesty, there must be something wrong with the wine that Shen Man served last night. I think we should immediately arrest Shen Man and the Shen family father and son and torture them severely!"
She was filled with rage and wished she could beat those three people to death with sticks right then and there!
Song Xuan opened his slightly drooping eyes and comforted her, "Qing Nian, don't be impulsive. That package is just an aphrodisiac, meant to arouse passion. I didn't take it last night either."
My symptoms appeared after I spilled that drink, but Shen Zheng probably didn't know I would be like this. It's not appropriate to spread the news that I have a headache. For now, I can only wait until I return to the palace to have the divine physician examine me..."
He could probably guess why his body was in this state.
Shen Qingnian realized that her words had been too impulsive, and that the man's suggestion was the best. She pursed her lips and said with some reluctance:
