Su Xuening knew that his illness could not be hidden, so she took a deep breath and said, "Although you are very ill, I can help you treat your illness. However, as you said, you are old and you are already showing signs of exhaustion. I cannot cure this, but I can help you regulate your body and try to prolong your life. If the regulation is done properly, you should have three more years to live."
Three years lifespan?
Su Xuening's answer was completely unexpected by Helian Rong.
He thought he only had three months to live, but he never expected to have three more!
Three years is enough time for him to elevate Ci'er to power, and also enough time for him to fulfill all his unfulfilled wishes.
Helian Rong was overjoyed and looked at Su Xuening excitedly: "Girl, thank you!"
Seeing Helian Rong so happy, like a child, Su Xuening comforted him: "The acupuncture is still in progress, so you can't get so excited."
Upon hearing Su Xuening's words, Helian Rong immediately restrained himself and tried his best to calm down.
After Su Xuening finished administering acupuncture to Helian Rong, Helian Rong fell into a deep sleep.
Helian Rong also drank some wine today, so he slept even more soundly than the night before.
Seeing that Helian Rong was fast asleep, Su Xuening instructed Yuan Xian, "Keep a close watch on him; he should sleep well tonight."
"Yes," Yuan Xian immediately bowed in response.
It's really rare to see the Emperor sleeping so peacefully.
Yuan Xian originally intended to send a eunuch to escort Su Xuening back to the East Palace, but when he came out, he saw Xuan Yuanzhan waiting in the courtyard.
When Su Xuening saw Xuan Yuanzhan, she turned to Yuan Xian and said, "Don't let anyone see us off. With him by our side, we'll be fine."
"Yes." Yuan Xian immediately bowed to Su Xuening.
Xuan Yuanzhan stepped forward and took Su Xuening's hand, asking with concern, "Are you tired?"
With so many people around, Su Xuening felt a little shy and shook her head: "I'm not tired. Where's Xiaobao?"
"My father-in-law and mother-in-law took him away," Xuan Yuanzhan said casually, completely unconcerned about who had his son now.
The two talked and then headed towards the East Palace.
As Yuan Xian watched the two walk away hand in hand, he couldn't help but feel happy.
It's clear that the new emperor of Eastern Chu loves their little princess very much, and the little princess is also outstanding enough to receive such favor from the new emperor of Eastern Chu.
Who could have imagined that the long-lost grandson of the emperor would marry the empress of Western Liang and have such handsome children? His daughter even married the new emperor of Eastern Chu.
With two such powerful backers now, the Emperor should no longer have to worry about failing to elevate his grandson to the throne!
After the acupuncture treatment, Helian Rong slept soundly through the night and woke up early the next morning.
After two good nights' sleep, Helian Rong felt much better.
Yuan Xian also stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the little princess's medical skills are truly amazing. Your complexion looks much better."
Helian Rong also felt that he was in good spirits, and raised his chin at Yuan Xian, saying, "Go and call two imperial physicians."
Yuan Xian was somewhat surprised. In the past, when the emperor was so ill, he never trusted the imperial physicians. How come now that the little princess has cured him so well, he has to call the imperial physicians instead?
Seemingly sensing Yuan Xian's doubts, Helian Rong said with a wry smile, "Because of that girl, I no longer have to worry about those imperial physicians harming me. The girl said I can live for another three years, but I still can't rest easy. I want to hear what those imperial physicians have to say."
Yuan Xian finally understood: "This old servant will have them go and fetch the imperial physician."
As Yuan Xian spoke, he bowed and went out, instructing the eunuch outside to summon the imperial physician.
Soon, two imperial physicians were summoned.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
The imperial physicians bowed to Helian Rong with some trepidation.
"I am not feeling well today, come and take a look at me." Helian Rong stretched out his hand directly.
The imperial physicians were all surprised when they heard this.
The Emperor hasn't had his pulse checked in almost two years. Has the sun risen in the west today?
Although they had doubts, the two did not dare to delay and quickly stepped forward to check Helian Rong's pulse.
After the first imperial physician took his pulse, his expression was very solemn.
Helian Rong didn't ask any questions until the second imperial physician finished taking his pulse, and his expression was also indescribable. Only then did Helian Rong ask, "What? Is my illness very serious?"
Upon hearing Helian Rong's words, the two imperial physicians were so frightened that they immediately knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me."
When Helian Rong saw the two of them looking like this, his heart skipped a beat, and he frowned and said, "You can't cure my illness?"
The two men were so frightened that they prostrated themselves on the ground: "His Majesty has fallen ill from overwork and is now terminally ill. We are powerless to help."
Yuan Xian was so angry when he heard the two men talking nonsense that he was about to step forward and start cursing at them.
But Helian Rong raised his hand to stop him: "Then tell me, how much longer can I live?"
This question made the two imperial physicians tremble even more violently.
After a long pause, the two finally managed to stammer out, "More than a month!"
The moment the words "imperial physician" left his lips, Yuan Xian was instantly enraged. He glared at the two imperial physicians and shouted angrily, "What nonsense are you spouting! The Emperor's condition has improved; how could it only be a little over a month!"
Last night, the young princess clearly said that the emperor could live for another three years, but now that they've come to believe that the emperor can only live for a little over a month, it's simply outrageous!
Yuan Xian's sudden outburst terrified the imperial physicians, who trembled with fear.
The two dared not speak carelessly again, but they hadn't said anything careless either. The Emperor's health was already showing signs of exhaustion, and he really only had a month or so left!
Helian Rong was not as angry as Yuan Xian; he knew his own body quite well.
He even felt that the timeframe given by the two imperial physicians was the true state of his body, but the girl shouldn't be lying to him!
