Lin Yuxin pouted, utterly disapproving of the emperor's behavior. Every time she performed meritorious service, he was reluctant to reward her, yet he still wanted her things, treating her like a sucker!
Dog Emperor: ...!
He only said one sentence, and that brat's brain was like a machine gun, firing off a whole bunch of things.
The only person who dared to call him a dog emperor was that brat Lin Yuxin. If it weren't for the fact that he liked her, he would have loved to tear her head apart.
The emperor gritted his teeth, grinding them together with a grinding sound.
Lin Yuxin heard this but remained silent and began to take the emperor's pulse.
[Could it be a calcium deficiency? Otherwise, why would they be grinding their teeth?]
Lin Yuxin didn't know whether the Emperor was grinding his teeth in anger or because he was angry with her.
After that, the emperor no longer wanted to talk to the girl.
Seeing that the Emperor remained unperturbed by his cold expression, Lin Yuxin began to carefully take his pulse.
The Emperor was previously poisoned, and it was a chronic poison, similar to the poison the Empress suffered from. However, the Emperor's poison would damage his heart and lungs, and he also couldn't get angry.
He was so angered by the Crown Prince that he vomited blood, which got stuck in his throat, causing him to be on the verge of death for a short time.
If Xiao Sui had waited a little longer when checking the emperor's breathing, he would have noticed that the emperor's breathing had returned to normal.
Lin Yuxin still remembered that when she followed Butler Mu and Xiao Hao through the secret passage, she saw the Emperor lying on the bed and her trembling hands trying to touch the Empress who was lying on top of him.
Lin Yuxin's expression immediately changed. She thought the emperor was going to die, but when she went forward, she found that the emperor was not dead, but the empress was almost dead.
Seeing that the Emperor was not dead, Lin Yuxin stopped paying attention to him, helped the Empress up, and gave orders to the Emperor:
"Lie down a little more!"
The dying emperor: ...?
He's almost dead, and this girl is so rude to him the moment they meet? Who is the emperor, anyway?
However, when the Emperor looked at the Empress in her arms, he resigned himself to his fate and dragged his broken body in little by little as he moved closer to her.
"Your Majesty, please hurry! If you delay any longer, your Empress will really have to be reincarnated!"
Seeing how slow he was, Lin Yuxin said impatiently.
The steward's expression changed, and he quickly stepped forward to help the emperor a little further inside.
His future princess consort!! This is the Emperor! How dare you speak to the Emperor like that?! You're going to die!! He'll have to go back and talk to the prince, and tell him to properly restrain this audacious future princess consort.
Xiao Hao also stepped forward to help him up.
Seeing that someone was helping and the seat had become available, Lin Yuxin quickly moved the Empress to the outside of the dragon bed and began to take her pulse, her expression solemn.
"What's wrong with the Empress? Can it be cured?"
Seeing her expression, the Emperor himself became nervous and asked anxiously, showing no concern for the fighting sounds outside.
Although Xiao Hao didn't say anything, he looked at Lin Yuxin with a very nervous expression.
"Quiet down!"
Lin Yuxin glared at the Emperor, then continued to concentrate on taking his pulse.
The Emperor was speechless, somewhat unwilling, but he didn't say anything more. He just looked at the Empress with concern. However, when he turned his head, he saw Xiao Hao, and his expression paused and his eyes flickered slightly.
Her fingertips trembled, as if she were a little excited, and her eyes began to redden slightly. She gently raised her arm, wanting to touch the child, but because the child was too far away, she had to give up.
Xiao Hao, however, was looking in the direction of the Empress and therefore did not see the Emperor's expression.
After a long while, Lin Yuxin finally released her grip and said to the Emperor:
"The poison that the Empress was previously afflicted with had penetrated deep into her bone marrow. If it had been half a year ago, I would have been 90% confident that I could have cured her. Now... I'm only 40%. Did you take the pills that I had the Regent send you last night?"
Lin Yuxin asked the Emperor.
"Yes, last night the guards from the Prince's Palace delivered two bottles of medicine, saying it was an antidote. Just to be on the safe side, I took them first. I never expected that such a thing would happen in less than one night!"
The Emperor snapped out of his reverie, nodded in response, and sighed with emotion. If they hadn't taken the medicine Lin Yuxin had given them beforehand, they probably wouldn't have been able to wait for Lin Yuxin and the others to come and rescue them.
Lin Yuxin ignored the Emperor's remark and continued:
“That’s it. The medicine I asked you to send can suppress the poison in the Empress’s body, but it can also suppress other poisons. Although the poison they fed the Empress was very strong, my medicine was still effective.”
"When two poisons are suppressed at the same time, they will rebound over time. The Empress is currently in a coma with weak breathing and a high fever because the effects of the medicine in her body are wearing off, and the two poisons have started to fight each other."
"Stop! Say something I can understand! Can it be cured or not!"
The emperor, lying in bed, was completely bewildered by Lin Yuxin's long-winded speech and quickly stopped her.
"It can be cured!"
Lin Yuxin glanced at the emperor lying on the bed and didn't say anything more.
"Then hurry up and get treatment! What are you waiting for?"
Upon hearing that it could be cured, the emperor immediately urged the process to begin.
"I have a way to cure the poison in the Empress's body, but I'm missing a few ingredients, so I need to find them."
Lin Yuxin really wanted to quit, that evil capitalist.
But Lin Yuxin looked at Xiao Hao beside her, who was looking at her expectantly, and gritted her teeth and patiently said.
"Then let's go look for it! Send someone to the Imperial Hospital to search. They have so many medicinal herbs, there's no way they wouldn't have it."
The Emperor frowned when he saw Lin Yuxin's bashful manner. He had plenty of medicinal herbs in his palace; how could he not have any?
Seeing the Emperor's confidence, Lin Yuxin didn't argue with him. She simply wrote down a list, handed it to the Emperor, and said calmly:
"Whenever Your Majesty can find these three medicines, I will help the Empress detoxify. Right now, I can only use silver needles to suppress it. The rest is up to you."
