Ning Yuxi's heart tightened after hearing what the emperor said. Sure enough, there was something wrong with the emperor's body!
It’s a pity that Mr. Wang couldn’t diagnose the specific disease, so now he can only place his hope on Doctor Zhong.
But since the emperor's health was confirmed to be abnormal, what should be done until Dr. Zhong was found? What if his condition worsened during this period?
Thinking of this, Ning Yuxi asked nervously, "What should we do then? Is there nothing Mr. Wang can do?"
Seeing the obvious nervousness and anxiety in Ning Yuxi's eyes, Gu Qilan felt a little warm in his heart and comforted her, "Don't worry, Mr. Wang gave me some of his exclusive secret recipes. Although they can't be the exact medicine, his pills have more or less inhibitory effects on any toxins and can also prevent them from spreading."
Hearing this, Ning Yuxi breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
Although I don't know how much of an inhibitory effect this pill can have on the toxin, it can at least prevent it from spreading. Judging from the emperor's current physical condition, as long as it doesn't continue to spread, there will be no problem waiting for Doctor Zhong to come.
Just as Ning Yuxi was thinking, she suddenly heard the emperor say in a deep voice: "Thinking carefully, my health has indeed been different recently."
For example, he used to review memorials late into the night without feeling tired, but now he can't do it for just a few hours. Another example... in terms of sex, he has been favoring his concubines less and less recently, and sometimes he even feels powerless...
Thinking of this, Gu Qilan frowned deeply. Who on earth could have poisoned him without him knowing?
I don't know how his body is doing now. If the poison enters his lungs...
He is not afraid of death, but he cannot accept being poisoned to death. He has survived so many attacks and arrows in the fight for the throne. Now he is going to die in obscurity. How can he accept it?
Thinking of this, Gu Qilan's eyes were filled with murderous intent. The person who poisoned him had better pray that he would never find out, otherwise he would make sure that person would suffer a fate worse than death!
Ning Yuxi naturally felt the strong murderous intent emanating from the emperor. She could understand that if she was drugged for no apparent reason, she would never let the person who harmed her go.
"Your Majesty, I have also asked my family to look for the miracle doctor Zhong. One more person means more strength. I think we will have news soon. Since so many people in the folk call him a miracle doctor, he must have extraordinary qualities. Your Majesty, don't worry, just take good care of yourself." Ning Yuxi comforted.
The fact that the emperor was ill could not be made public, otherwise it would shake the foundation of the country. Now only she and the emperor knew about it, so she and the emperor were the only ones who had to go find a miracle doctor.
Although her people cannot be compared with the emperor's people, it is not important whether they can be compared or not. What is important is her attitude towards this matter. Obviously, Ning Yuxi's attitude is very good.
Gu Qilan raised his eyes to look at Ning Yuxi, and suddenly hugged her into his arms: "Xi'er, I'm lucky to have you, otherwise I'm afraid I still don't know anything at this moment."
"I am very close to the Emperor, so I can observe more carefully. If the imperial doctors were as close to me and the Emperor, they would surely be able to discover some clues."
Gu Qilan didn't say anything, but just hugged the person tighter. Thinking of something, Gu Qilan spoke again: "By the way, how is your baby?"
Previously, the imperial physician diagnosed that the fetus in Concubine Yi's belly was weaker than the average fetus, but he didn't take it too seriously. The imperial physician said that it would be restored by proper nourishment. But now it seems that the fetus is very likely affected by him and that is why it is weak.
After all, Concubine Yi has always been in good health, and nothing happened when she was pregnant with Chengzhao and his siblings.
Ning Yuxi said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I have been taking good supplements according to the imperial physician's instructions these past few days, and the pregnancy is now much more stable."
Gu Qilan nodded gently: "That's good."
After Ning Yuxi left with the food box, Song Qu couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, you are ill. No doctor in the Imperial Hospital could diagnose you, but Concubine Yi was able to figure it out. Which..."
Song Qu didn't say anything else, but the emperor knew what he meant. So many doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau failed to figure it out, but Concubine Yi, who had only half-baked medical skills, figured it out.
There are only two reasons. Either it is true as she said that she can sense the details because she eats and sleeps with him and their skin is in close contact, or... this poison is related to her.
Song Qu's words were to remind the emperor that perhaps he could investigate Concubine Yi.
The emperor understood what Song Qu said, but he raised his hand to stop him: "It can't be Concubine Yi. If it was her, why would she come to remind me? What good would it do for her to poison me?"
He has only five princes, and they are all young. Although Concubine Yi has two princes, the eldest, Cheng Zhao, is only four years old and has not yet received formal education. What good is there in her harming him?
The most important thing is that after all these years of getting along and accompanying each other, he believes in Concubine Yi!
The emperor's two questions successfully stumped Song Qu, and he had no choice but to bow in response.
He didn't really doubt Concubine Yi, but he had followed the emperor since he was ten years old, and it had been twenty years now.
Now that he knows that the emperor is ill, how can he not be anxious? He wants to check everything related to it. The sooner the emperor's condition is found out, the sooner he can recover. As long as the emperor recovers, he will do anything.
Thinking about this, Song Qu said as he retreated, "Then I'll go get some water to serve the emperor the pills prescribed by Wang Laoyuan." It would be good if it could relieve the pain.
Gu Qilan knew that Song Qu cared about him, so he let him go.
Half a month later, Ning Yuxi got up at noon. Because her pregnancy was unstable, the emperor issued an order to exempt her from paying her respects, so she was able to sleep until noon.
Ning Yuxi was bored after dinner, and her eyes lit up when she saw Ruyi coming in with a plate of melon seeds. She had been ordered by the imperial physician to rest in bed these days, and she was really about to grow hair. Ruyi would find out about interesting things in the palace every day and tell her, which was also a form of entertainment.
Although she was worried about the emperor's health, she was not a miracle doctor and there was nothing she could do. She could only hope to find the miracle doctor Zhong as soon as possible.
Ning Yuxi grabbed a handful of melon seeds and leaned on the couch, then heard Ruyi say, "Last night, Concubine Lan tried to cut Concubine Jing's beard again. I have to say that Concubine Lan is really determined. She has tried several times but failed.
But guess what, Master? Last night, Concubine Lan somehow managed to invite the Emperor over. It seems Master is right, if you work hard, you will get something in return!
Ruyi nodded seriously.
Ning Yuxi burst out laughing. The emperor rarely came to the harem these days. When he came, he would come to see her pregnancy, or go to the queen's place as a routine, and finally to Concubine Jing's place.
But Lanpin had gone to Concubine Jing's palace twice, and the emperor had tried to intercept her every time, but she ignored him. Unexpectedly, Lanpin succeeded last night. Is it true that hard work pays off?
