Seeing Tao Yuwei's uncomfortable and sweaty expression, Emperor Jianchang became restless.
When Cao Youliang, the head of the Imperial Hospital, arrived, Emperor Jianchang was furious. "What are you doing? Why are you so slow?"
Cao Youliang quickly apologized, and Tao Yuwei hurriedly pointed to the fishbone on the table and then to her own mouth.
Cao Youliang has experience in removing fish bones.
He took out a silver clamp similar to a pair of pliers, pulled her to a bright place, opened her mouth, and without caring about the differences between men and women, he saw a fish bone stuck in the gap between her teeth.
Cao Youliang decisively pulled out the fishbone.
Fortunately, he thought that His Majesty had something stuck in his throat while eating fish.
He was so frightened that he rushed over in a panic, and it turned out that Princess Anle had a fish bone stuck in her teeth.
Seeing that the fishbone was quickly removed, Emperor Jianchang's tense mind relaxed.
Tao Yuwei politely thanked Cao Youliang and suggested, "Uncle Emperor and I have dined together and have eaten quite a bit. I feel a bit bloated. Could you please check our pulses to see if we have any health problems from eating too much?"
Cao Youliang was left in a state of confusion by her self-righteous attitude of finding excuses to take his pulse.
It was too reckless to expect him, the chief physician of the Imperial Hospital, to just tell the truth and use such lame excuses full of loopholes to ask him to treat His Majesty and her.
Nor was she afraid that someone would impeach her for peeping at His Majesty's body.
Emperor Jianchang thought there was nothing wrong with Anle's proposal.
This shows that she cares about his health.
"Don't worry, take my pulse!"
Emperor Jianchang was the first to extend his wrist for Cao Youliang to examine.
Tao Yuwei stood quietly aside to avoid making any noise that would hinder the accuracy of Cao Youliang's pulse diagnosis.
She had just used an indecent method, deliberately getting a fish bone stuck in her teeth and then opening her mouth for someone to pull it out.
By doing this, Emperor Jianchang, knowing her arrogant and disdainful temper towards lying, would not suspect that she had any other intentions.
Cao Youwei calmly took the pulse for a cup of tea, then withdrew his hand and said to Emperor Jianchang, "Your Majesty, you have been busy with state affairs day and night recently. You are a little weak and have not been sleeping well. I will prescribe a prescription for Your Majesty to regulate your health."
Emperor Jianchang nodded and pointed at Tao Yuwei, saying, "Take her pulse carefully too, to prevent her from not taking care of her health at such a young age and developing other illnesses."
Tao Yuwei laughed out loud at Emperor Jianchang's words.
"Your Majesty, I'm in good health. There's no need to worry. My stomach isn't bloated anymore."
When Emperor Jianchang saw her shaking her head and refusing, he knew what she meant.
"Girl, your attitude of refusing to see a doctor just to avoid taking bitter medicine is not good at all."
In the end, she was not forced. After Cao Youliang left, Tao Yuwei also expressed her desire to leave the palace to Emperor Jianchang.
Emperor Jianchang called Zhao Chong over and said, "Send Anle a basket of lychees that Yazhou has sent as tribute."
Tao Yuwei happily thanked Emperor Jianchang.
"It's still the Emperor who loves me the most. You go ahead and do your work. I'm leaving now."
Her casual attitude made Emperor Jianchang feel very comfortable.
His princes and princesses were trembling with fear when facing him. None of them treated him, the emperor who was above everyone else, with the same sincerity and care as Anle, who treated him as his own family.
He really liked Anle's attitude of having no fear of him, being unbridled and yet having a sense of propriety.
He could sense from her that she was genuinely doing good for him, yet still felt at ease as if she were family, and that she was pampering his own daughter.
This was an emotion he could not feel from his own children.
Tao Yuwei happily followed Zhao Chong out of the imperial study.
After the chief imperial physician took His Majesty's pulse, there was nothing wrong with his health.
Look at Zhao Chong's little apprentice, who had someone carry a basket of lychees and follow her. It feels great to eat and take at the same time.
It seems that in order to prevent His Majesty from being poisoned, she has to go to the palace more often recently, and she no longer has the previous feeling of rejection and laziness.
However, we cannot take it lightly.
Before being sent out of the palace, Tao Yuwei and Zhao Chong whispered, "The Emperor's health hasn't been good recently. Steward Zhao needs to pay more attention to him. Please be more careful when making medicine for him. If the medicine is well made, the Emperor's health will recover faster."
When Zhao Chong heard Tao Yuwei's arrangement, he was not angry, but happy for Emperor Jianchang.
Two years ago, it was this seemingly spoiled little girl who saved His Majesty from the hands of those murderous Northern Barbarian spies and blocked the fatal swords for His Majesty. The girl almost lost her life and it took a long time for her health to recover.
Her concern for Your Majesty has always been sincere.
"Princess Anle, rest assured. I will keep a close eye on His Majesty's health, and I will also arrange for someone to keep an eye on his medicine."
Tao Yuwei nodded with confidence, and then walked out of the palace gate with her maid Bai Shuang and two eunuchs carrying baskets.
When Zhao Chong returned to the Imperial Study, Emperor Jianchang was reviewing memorials. He was so busy that he didn't even look up. "Is Anle gone?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. Before leaving, Princess Anle reminded me to take care of my health and to have someone monitor the medicine I was taking."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Jianchang paused with the brush in his hand.
"Anle, this little girl, may not be very old, but she's very thoughtful. Just do as she says."
Emperor Jianchang continued to review memorials, and was not at all in the bad mood he had been in the past few days.
In the afternoon, in a dilapidated and hidden palace.
"How is the matter arranged by the master going?" A hoarse voice reached the ears of the visitor, and his heart couldn't help trembling.
"The people over there are very cautious and keep a close eye on things. Even the brewing of the medicine is done by Zhao Kui, the young disciple beside Eunuch Zhao. He brought two imperial guards with him and watched over it personally. It's hard for me to even find an opportunity to take action."
With a cautious and trembling voice, he reported the progress of the matter to the other party.
"Useless, can't you find a way to sneak into the imperial kitchen and do it?"
There was a hint of anxiety in the hoarse voice.
The palace servant was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Your Excellency, it's not easy to get a job in the Imperial Kitchen either. I've tried many ways, but I haven't been chosen to be an assistant there."
The hoarse voice spoke again, "His birthday banquet is coming soon. The imperial kitchen will definitely make preparations for this matter in advance. You must take the opportunity to sneak in and take care of things as soon as possible. Otherwise, I can't protect you."
The young palace maid quickly agreed.
When he looked up again, he found that the figure was no longer in the original position.
He stood up and wiped the cold sweat from his face, thinking that he was lucky.
This time his life was finally saved, he must succeed as soon as possible, otherwise, he would be the one to die.
Tao Yuwei, who had left the palace, didn't know that it was her entry into the palace that temporarily prevented the other party from succeeding.
As soon as she got home with a basket of lychees, she received some news that made her very angry.
