Upon hearing this, Emperor Yuanwu hurriedly made way for Physician Li.
Consort Shu glanced at the bowl of medicine, and her eyelids twitched inexplicably.
"Imperial Physician Li, is this the medicine I just had brewed? Why did you bring it to me personally?" Imperial Physician Xie said, glancing intentionally or unintentionally at Consort Shu.
"That's the bowl. It's already cooked. I was worried it would get cold if it stayed cold for too long, so I brought it in myself," Physician Li replied.
"Then hurry up and feed it to the Fifth Prince." Emperor Yuanwu was filled with worry about Mu Junxi's condition and just wanted to give him the medicine as soon as possible so that he could get better.
Consort Shu stared at the bowl of medicine, her eyes twitching again.
This Imperial Physician Li is someone who serves the Empress.
It wasn't that she didn't trust the Empress, nor was it that she was overly suspicious.
However, Mu Junxi was already unconscious at this time.
Even if there is nothing harmful in this medicine.
However, even if only one ingredient in the medicine was not compatible with his body, it would still directly kill him.
Mu Qianqian raised her eyes and glanced at Consort Shu.
She could almost see through the worry in Consort Shu's eyes and the concerns in her heart at a glance.
Physician Xie's expression was equally solemn.
However, he seemed to have little say in this room.
After all, this Physician Li was not only the head of the Imperial Hospital, but also someone close to the Empress.
It's not that he might lose his life if he's not careful.
And then his family was implicated.
She served in the palace for such a long time.
He knew the Empress's character all too well.
Countless concubines and princes in the palace died at her hands.
Mu Qianqian's eyes darted around.
Just as Consort Shu was hesitating whether or not to speak.
Mu Qianqian yawned lazily, then suddenly raised her hand and, by sheer coincidence, knocked over the bowl of medicine in Physician Li's hand.
Because Mu Qianqian was still in Consort Shu's arms, and Consort Shu was sitting by Mu Junxi's bedside.
Even though Physician Li was looking down, he was still considerably taller than her.
If she wanted to spill that bowl of medicine, she would have to raise her arm very high and very quickly.
If she hesitates and dawdles, and is discovered by Physician Li...
If he had just taken a step back, she would never have had the chance to touch that bowl of medicine again.
It happened so fast, without us even noticing.
Although Mu Qianqian knocked over the bowl of medicine, it all spilled onto her arm.
Physician Li was completely dumbfounded.
How did this medicine get spilled?
He was clearly holding the position very steadily.
The fifth prince is out of favor and falls ill; Emperor Yuanwu has come twice in one day to see him.
It's likely that everyone in the entire palace knows how much Emperor Yuanwu doted on the seventh princess.
He actually burned the Seventh Princess!
Physician Li was so frightened that he trembled all over and knelt down on the ground: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Highness, please forgive me. I did not mean to do it."
Physician Xie hurriedly treated the scalded area on Mu Qianqian's arm.
That bowl of medicine had been sitting outside for a while and wasn't very hot anymore.
However, because she was too young and her skin was too delicate, a large area of her skin was still burned red.
Consort Shu breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the bowl of medicine being spilled.
But seeing Mu Qianqian's swollen arm, he immediately felt sorry for her.
"Imperial Physician Xie, what should we do? Will blisters form?" Consort Shu asked worriedly.
"Your Highness, this medicine is a little warm, but not too hot. The Seventh Princess has delicate skin. After I apply some medicine to her, she should be fine by tomorrow," said Physician Xie.
