The Emperor understood what Lin Yuxin meant. His men had been searching for five days but had not found the medicine Lin Yuxin had mentioned. He was so anxious these past few days, seeing the Empress lying unconscious in bed, that he was practically bubbling with worry.
He was already thinking that if he still couldn't find her in two more days, he would have to swallow his pride and beg the girl for help!
Don't think he doesn't know; this girl has a backup plan. She definitely has a way to cure the Empress; she just wants to see him make a fool of himself.
Believe it or not, the Emperor was half right. The main problem was that the Empress's body simply couldn't withstand the pain of detoxification.
Lin Yuxin originally intended for the Empress to recuperate for a while. Half a year ago, she knew that the Empress's body had been almost completely damaged by the chronic poison, but it just hadn't manifested yet.
This time, because she was given a different poison that directly clashed with the original poison, the empress was almost in a state of near death. Although she was breathing, she remained in a coma.
After leaving the palace, she worked through the night to refine a bottle of Vitality Pills and had Xueying take it to Li Xiaochen so he could deliver it to the Empress, one pill a day, for a total of seven pills.
It is used to help her restore her vitality, and only when her body recovers to the point where she can withstand the pain of detoxification can she be detoxified.
"Indeed, Your Majesty, you should hurry, otherwise time will not wait for anyone."
Lin Yuxin nodded and replied to the Emperor.
[With only two days left, she wanted to see how the Emperor would manage to procure these two herbs from the Northern Frontier! Even with the fastest horse, it would take five days to get from the Northern Frontier to the capital. Even if the Emperor were just putting on a show, softening his stance, or giving her the reward, wouldn't she have given in? Stubborn!]
The Emperor was furious. "I am stubborn! I don't want to let you have your way! All my treasures belong to my son!"
Despite his anger, the Emperor still knew what was good for him, so it seemed he had no choice but to send his royal guards.
At this moment, Eunuch Liu led Cheng Tinghao out, looking very happy, and we knew what had happened.
"Your Majesty, this is the Ninth Prince. He does indeed have a birthmark on his waist, and it does look like a tiger's head."
"Excellent! Hahaha, my son has returned!"
The Emperor's anger at Lin Yuxin finally dissipated, and he laughed heartily with joy.
The civil and military officials below, seeing this, had no objections and all congratulated the emperor:
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on finding the Ninth Prince!"
Even if you have opinions, now is not the time to voice them.
"Good, good, good, everyone will be rewarded!"
The emperor was delighted and began to bestow rewards.
Lin Yuxin: ...?
So, I'm the only one who didn't receive a reward?
Lin Yuxin was so angry she wanted to give up. "I've been busy all morning and haven't even received a kind word in return."
Although the blood test was not performed in the end, it temporarily confirmed Cheng Tinghao's identity. As for whether anyone would question it in the future, that would be the Emperor's business.
Before leaving the palace, Lin Yuxin went to Kunning Palace to take the Empress's pulse and confirmed that she had been taking the medicine she had given her. Although she had not woken up, her body, which had been damaged by the poison, was recovering.
Lin Yuxin used silver needles to give the Empress a few acupuncture treatments, using the same technique she had used on her third uncle, to stimulate the regeneration of her body's functions. Then she fed the Empress a few mouthfuls of fairy dew before leaving the palace.
It was Eunuch Liu who personally escorted her to the palace. Since the Ninth Prince's identity had been confirmed, he would have to live in the palace from now on. Therefore, Lin Yuxin would have to go to the palace to see Cheng Tinghao in the future.
I was too busy today to have a proper chat with Cheng Tinghao. I don't know when I'll be able to have a proper chat with him again.
Lin Yuxin looked up at the palace gates and high walls, and a sudden feeling of indescribable sorrow welled up in her heart!
Throughout history, emperors have often been lonely or widowed, and she didn't want Cheng Tinghao to become one of those lonely and widowed men after he became emperor!
Well, it's already like this. I can only try my best to make Qiu Tinghao happy from now on!
Lin Yuxin put these unfounded worries behind her and strode towards the palace gates.
Lin Yuxin had just left when Li Xiao chased after her, but there was no one there.
Just as Eunuch Liu turned to return to the Emperor to report, he saw the prince rushing over, looking left and right, and asked in confusion:
"What is Your Highness looking for?"
"Where is the princess?"
Seeing that there was no one outside the palace, Li Xiaochen did not miss a single sound and asked.
"The princess has already left!"
Eunuch Liu understood; she was missing the princess! Suppressing a smile, Eunuch Liu told her the truth.
"She's gone? Did she ask anything before she left?"
Li Xiaochen asked, unwilling to give up.
"Uh! No!"
After a moment of silence, Eunuch Liu honestly told her that the princess not only didn't ask any questions, but she was also very happy when she left, muttering that she would go somewhere to have a meal before going back.
However, seeing the prince's dark expression, Eunuch Liu did not utter the last word.
Li Xiaochen gritted his teeth. He had only been summoned to the Imperial Study by the Emperor to discuss some matters, and then he ran away!
That heartless girl! She hasn't seen him for days, doesn't she miss him? Today, she finally got to see him, but she barely spoke to him.
He actually left the palace without looking back, without even waiting for a moment?
Does this mean she doesn't cherish what she has? Or does this girl not want to take responsibility?
Li Xiaochen thought about what Lin Yuxin had said about looking at handsome men, and he felt that he might have guessed right.
No, he must go to the Emperor to set a wedding date. Marrying this girl as soon as possible is the only important thing.
While we're at it, we should also try to find some benefits for this heartless girl.
Didn't you see that this girl's face was as black as the bottom of a pot because she didn't receive a reward today? She even ignored him. Li Xiaochen felt very wronged!
