Chapter 199 Cannon Fodder Lady's Counterattack 16
Less than a minute later, the imperial physician hurried into the hall carrying a medicine box, knelt on the ground and began to examine the emperor.
The longer the time went on, the more sweat accumulated on the imperial physician's forehead. However, apart from knowing that the emperor had been poisoned, he knew nothing else.
"Imperial Physician, what on earth is going on with the Emperor?"
"In reply to the Queen, the Emperor has been poisoned, and I haven't found a solution yet."
The Queen became even more anxious when she heard this. "How can you not find a solution? If you can't find a solution, then others can't? Hurry up and summon all the people from the Imperial Hospital. If you can't save the Emperor, I will make you pay with your lives."
In less than ten minutes, all the doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau arrived. Faced with such a tough task, all of them looked as if they had lost their parents.
If they could find the cause of the disease and save the patient, it would be fine. They could continue to work in the Imperial Hospital. But if they couldn't save the patient? I'm afraid many people would have to pay the emperor's death. It has to be said that being an imperial physician is also a high-risk profession.
Half an hour passed, and the crowd still hadn't come up with a feasible treatment plan. Seeing that the emperor began to breathe out more than breathe in, everyone in the hall began to feel insecure, and kept glancing at others, trying to find some clues to know who was behind this incident today.
Luo An remained calm, sitting aside and eating and drinking, without any worry or fear at all.
Xiao Heng looked at her countless times, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, "Can you please stop eating? Don't you understand what's going on?"
Luo An gave him a blank look without saying anything. What? If she didn't eat now, would that person suddenly come back to life?
After waiting for a long time, the imperial doctors were helpless against the emperor's poison and could only try to keep the man alive, but this would definitely not work in the long run.
After the imperial physician announced the final diagnosis, the queen's mouth curled up slightly, but unfortunately everyone's eyes were no longer on her, so they naturally missed it.
Only Luo An, who had a God's perspective, did not miss this expression, as well as the eye contact between the Queen and the Prince.
Just when everyone thought that the matter was about to end, Luo An stood up and walked step by step to the center.
"Your Majesty, I would like to see your injuries. Perhaps I can find a solution."
No one expected Luo An to step forward, let alone volunteer when the imperial physicians were helpless. Isn't that overestimating one's own abilities? Even Luo's parents thought their daughter was crazy!
The emperor raised his eyes tiredly and saw Luo An looking at him neither humbly nor arrogantly, with no extra emotions in his eyes, as if treating him was a trivial matter.
But for some reason, he actually felt that Luo An was more reliable than the group of imperial doctors kneeling below. Maybe he was crazy!
The most anxious were the Empress and the Prince's party, "Fourth Brother, take good care of your wife. Even the imperial physician couldn't do anything, so what can a mere woman like her do?"
As soon as the prince finished speaking, the queen continued, "Fourth Wife, I know you are filial, but healing and saving lives require more than filial piety. The emperor's health cannot withstand your reckless abuse."
Xiao Heng listened to the disapproving voices around him, and thought about the prince's accusations against him. His face turned ugly, and he raised his foot to pull Luo An back, "Don't embarrass me."
Luo An gave her a cold look that sent a chill down Xiao Heng's spine, and he swallowed the rest of his words.
"You'll know if it works if you try. Even if I don't consider myself, I still have to consider my parents and children. I'm not stupid enough to joke about the lives of my entire family."
The Queen was about to say something when the Emperor spoke first, "Fourth Wife, do you really have a way to cure this?"
"Let's see if it can be cured first."
Throughout history, there has never been an emperor who was not afraid of death, and he is no exception.
After thinking for a moment, he nodded and asked Luo An to take a look. As for what the consequences would be if he couldn't see clearly, no one said, but there were still many people watching.
Especially Tong's father, looking at Luo's father beside him, a sneer appeared on his face, "Minister Luo, I didn't expect you could raise a miracle doctor. Why didn't you tell us before? It's not good to hide it like this, right?"
Father Luo was so nervous that he almost died. He didn't understand why his daughter suddenly did this, so he didn't have time to care about what he said.
Luo An walked towards the platform step by step, stretched out her hand to take her pulse. Of course, she was just pretending. After all, she had plenty of detoxifying pills. For poisons like this one in the ordinary world, just one pill would be effective.
After pretending for a while, Luo An stopped.
"Is there any way?" Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, the emperor became a little anxious.
"have."
"What? Cough, cough, cough..." With an excited heart and trembling hands, the emperor started coughing without paying attention, and the cough was so heart-wrenching.
"It can be cured, but the herbs needed are very precious, and the preparation of the medicine takes some time..."
Before Luo An finished speaking, the emperor interrupted him and said, "Just tell me what you need. You can stay in Anxin Garden for the next few days and let the child stay with you. Don't worry about anything else."
Luo An had thought of everything, and he replied directly and cheerfully, "Okay!"
"But the Emperor must also investigate thoroughly. Just because I can save someone once doesn't mean I can save them a second time. It's better to get rid of some bad-intentioned people as soon as possible."
Luo An looked at the queen meaningfully. If it weren't for her, the original owner would not have to marry Xiao Heng, let alone what happened afterwards.
The emperor glanced at everyone. He knew that the person who wanted to kill him must be his closest relative, and his eyes darkened.
The man in black was very fast and brought the person up in no time.
"Your Majesty, the person has been brought here."
Behind the black-clad guard stood a maidservant and an old woman. Both of them had handled the emperor's food and knew what had happened. They were so frightened that they didn't know what to say. They could only beg for mercy, "It wasn't me! It really wasn't me! Spare my life!"
Unfortunately, in the eyes of those in power, they were like ants. Seeing that no one admitted it, the emperor immediately ordered them to be tortured.
The sound of the board hitting flesh echoed throughout the hall. The timid girl had already curled up in her mother's arms, crying with her eyes closed, not daring to even look at her.
Finally, the little maid couldn't stand the beating anymore and admitted it, "I know I was wrong! I really know I was wrong! Please spare me! I won't do it again!"
Seeing that the situation was not going well, the prince winked at the executioner, who hit the man with more force and beat him to death in just two strokes.
As for the other old woman, she was considered an old lady in the palace. From the moment she agreed, she knew that she had no choice but to die, so she went to death calmly.
