Before Zhou Changling could even feel joy, he noticed Bai Lingxi's cries of pain gradually weakening. The imperial physician rushed over, and as the servants outside reported the situation, Zhou Changling heard a midwife say to him, "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! The Empress has suffered a postpartum hemorrhage!"
Zhou Changling felt a sudden "boom" in his head, followed by a loud buzzing sound. He couldn't hear any external sounds and felt like he was about to suffocate.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, please save the Empress!"
The palace servants all knelt down, finally bringing Zhou Changling back to his senses. Once he came to his senses, Zhou Changling immediately ordered someone to bring in the imperial physician.
As Judge Zhang entered, a strong stench of blood assaulted his nostrils. He was about to kneel in respect when Zhou Changling roared, "Get in here!"
Zhou Changling's face was grim, almost on the verge of a breakdown: "I order you to save Xi'er's life at all costs, or you'll pay with your head!"
Zhang, the imperial physician, dared not delay any longer and immediately began to take Bai Lingxi's pulse. However, the moment he touched her pulse, his expression turned serious. He then took a black pill from his medicine box and put it into Bai Lingxi's mouth, before taking out silver needles and inserting them one by one...
The acupoints include Kongzui, Shenmen, Yinbai, and Yongquan.
After this smooth and efficient treatment, Physician Zhang finally had a moment to wipe the fine sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief. After checking Bai Lingxi's condition again, he knelt down and reported, "Your Majesty, Her Highness has only temporarily stopped the bleeding."
Imperial Physician Zhang knelt down, bowing his head and not daring to raise it, but judging from the Emperor's expression, he said, "Your Majesty, I just examined your pulse, and it seems you have been poisoned by the Evening Wood Poison."
Zhou Changling tried to suppress his anxiety and quickly asked, "What kind of poison? Is there an antidote?"
Imperial Physician Zhang lowered his head even further: "Your Majesty, this humble servant's medical skills are inadequate; I can only temporarily suppress this poison, but...?"
Before Judge Zhang could finish speaking, Zhou Changling understood: this meant there was no cure for the poison!
Zhou Changling was furious, his anger burning fiercely. He wanted nothing more than to kill everyone to vent his anger! But Bai Lingxi was still alive, there was still hope. If Zhang Yuanpan couldn't cure her, there were other imperial physicians, and many doctors in the common people. He didn't believe that he couldn't cure Xi'er.
Zhou Changling ordered in a deep voice, "Summon all the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital to examine Her Majesty's pulse!"
After giving his instructions, Zhou Changling sat back down next to Bai Lingxi, holding her fair and delicate hand tightly. Looking at her pale face, her eyes tightly closed, and her once rosy lips devoid of color, Zhou Changling felt a stinging sensation in his eyes as he looked at her, a great sense of panic engulfing him.
Whether it was a mother's heart or not, as if sensing that something had happened to Bai Lingxi, the baby held by the midwife burst into tears and cried loudly, and no one could soothe him.
The midwife hurriedly knelt on the ground, apologizing, "Your Majesty, the little prince is crying incessantly; perhaps he is hungry?"
Zhou Changling beckoned: "Take him away. Make sure the young prince's safety is ensured, or I will exterminate your entire family!"
After everyone else had left, Zhou Changling began to ask what was going on with Xi Mu Poison.
Zhou Changling's expression was inscrutable: "What's going on with the Xi Mu poison?"
Judge Zhang remained kneeling: "Your Majesty, the poison of the evening glories is a poison from the southern border. The evening glories grow in places shrouded in miasma, and because their wood has a unique fragrance, they are also called fragrant wood."
