Chapter 73 The Emperor deceived her with his cunning trickery
She told Queen Mother Jiang.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Rui is in good health. He is in better shape and his heart pulse is stronger than before. I will prescribe a new prescription for him later. Please continue to urge him to take the medicine every day. As long as he is well taken care of, he will live a long life."
Queen Mother Jiang breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, King Rui in her arms heard the voice of the strange woman and began to struggle.
Queen Mother Jiang hugged Prince Rui tightly and urged Song Suihuan to go out quickly with her eyes.
Song Suihuan walked out of the room as quickly as possible, carrying the medicine box and closing the door skillfully.
Once the door is closed, King Rui will feel safe and will no longer be afraid to crawl under the table.
Song Suihuan turned and looked towards the yard.
She stared at Shen Yuanwei's back, a hint of coldness flashed across her eyes, and walked step by step behind Xie Junlin.
"Your Majesty, I have developed a pill that may be able to cure your infertility."
Xie Junlin, who was desperate to have a child, was begging Shen Yuanwei to give birth to a child for him, but she refused after a long time. Suddenly, he heard Song Suihuan say that she had developed a medicine to cure his disease. He was surprised and happy, and immediately turned to look at Song Suihuan.
Shen Yuanwei was also surprised by Song Suihuan.
Xie Junlin is the emperor who God said would have no heirs. Logically, only a fertile physique bestowed by God can allow this person who would have no heirs to have children. Now Song Suihuan actually said that he had developed a pill that could cure Xie Junlin?
Does this medicine really work?
Shen Yuanwei also turned around and looked at Song Suihuan curiously.
Xie Junlin was already speaking with joy, "Doctor Song, are you serious?"
Song Suihuan nodded.
She glanced at Shen Yuanwei proudly and took out the wooden box containing her medicine from the medicine box.
She opened the box to reveal the black pill inside and handed the box over with both hands.
"Your Majesty, look, this is a pill that I developed by improving an ancient recipe. It has the effect of nourishing the kidneys and replenishing essence."
When Xie Junlin heard about the efficacy of the pill, the joy in his eyes faded a little.
He took the medicine box and said, "In the past, the imperial physician has prescribed a lot of medicines to nourish the kidneys and replenish essence. I have taken each medicine for several months and several years, but none of them have any effect."
Song Suihuan nodded, "Yes, I have communicated with the imperial doctors before, and I know what prescriptions they prescribed. However, my prescription was left by the old ghost doctor, and it is completely different from the prescriptions that the imperial doctors have seen. So I developed it for you to try. Maybe it will have some effect?"
Xie Junlin played with the box, turning it around and looking at it, but he was not impatient to take the pills inside.
After playing with it for a few moments, he raised his eyes and looked at Song Suihuan, "Have you let other patients try this medicine?"
Song Suihuan didn't dare to deceive the emperor, and whispered, "I haven't found anyone to try it yet..."
Xie Junlin snapped the medicine box shut and said calmly, "How dare you rashly give it to me without testing it?"
Song Suihuan glanced at the emperor who was unable to tell whether he was happy or angry, and his heart trembled.
She immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
"Your Majesty, I know this is too hasty. I didn't want to offer the medicine today, but I just heard you talking to Madam Xiao. It seems that you want Madam Xiao to treat your illness and help you have a baby..."
Xie Junlin and Shen Yuanwei looked at each other subconsciously.
Neither of them spoke.
Song Suihuan lowered her head and continued, "Your Majesty, Madam Xiao has already snatched away General Xiao from me. I really don't want her to get there first again, so I have the guts to offer the medicine to Your Majesty. Please give it a try."
She kowtowed again and said sincerely, "Your Majesty, I dare to guarantee with my life that this pill will do you no harm. Even if it is ineffective, it will not harm your body. It is a tonic and will only benefit you. If we are lucky enough, it will cure your illness. If you take the medicine today, the concubines in the harem will send you good news of pregnancy next month. After nine months, a plump and beautiful little prince will be born, and your Majesty will have a successor!"
Xie Junlin glanced at the expectant Song Suihuan, then looked down at the medicine box in his hand.
A dark light flashed in his eyes.
Song Suihuan dared to guarantee it with his life, but he didn't dare to try it easily with his own life.
If this pill was prescribed by the doctors in the Imperial Hospital, he might have taken it without hesitation, but Song Suihuan...
He ordered the beheading of Song Suihuan's grandfather, father, and two brothers. Even though Song Suihuan was now sincerely treating Prince Rui, and even though Song Suihuan repeatedly said that he dared not harm him, he could not completely believe Song Suihuan.
This girl forced old General Xiao Zhen to commit suicide because of something that happened more than ten years ago. How could she not blame him at all?
Song Suihuan saw Xie Junlin's hesitation and guessed what Xie Junlin was thinking.
She kowtowed again.
"Your Majesty, I really don't dare to harm you, please understand!"
"I am now a miracle doctor admired by everyone in the capital. As long as I live well, I will have a good life in the future and enjoy endless wealth and glory. I haven't lived enough, so how could I be so bold as to harm you?"
"If anything happened to you, my mother, sister-in-law and I would all be cut into pieces. How could I risk the lives of so many people to avenge my father who murdered innocent people and deserved death?"
"If the emperor is worried, he can immediately summon the imperial physician to dissolve the pill in water for the imperial physician to examine, and then let the palace maids drink a sip to test the poison. What do you think?"
Xie Junlin's eyebrows slightly raised as he looked at Song Suihuan, who was so sincere, frank and fearless.
He put the medicine box into his sleeve and said with a smile, "No need for that. If you doubt someone, don't employ him. If you employ someone, don't doubt him. Since Divine Doctor Song is so frank and has repeatedly stated that this medicine is non-toxic, how can I not believe you?"
He said, "Get up now. I will take the medicine when I go to the concubine's palace. I hope that Dr. Song's medicine is really effective. Then I will reward you handsomely."
Song Suihuan thanked him, stood up and looked at Shen Yuanwei proudly.
Shen Yuanwei looked at Song Suihuan, then at Xie Junlin, her eyes full of interest.
If the emperor wants to try, then let him try.
She also wanted to see if the emperor could give birth to a child after taking the medicine.
If this heirless emperor had a child and no longer needed her, she would not feel any regret. Even without this emperor, she could still be the savior of Xiao Lingzhao and Prince Rui, and she would still be rich and worry-free.
Xie Junlin noticed Shen Yuanwei's gaze and turned to look at her.
"Madam Xiao, look, Divine Doctor Song has already offered me medicine. If you change your mind now and are willing to help me, I can..."
Shen Yuanwei bowed.
"I will not change my mind. I congratulate the emperor on finding the good medicine. I wish the emperor will have a son so that there will be someone to carry on the throne."
Xie Junlin stared at Shen Yuanwei with his dark eyes for three breaths, then turned and left the courtyard.
As soon as Xie Junlin left, Song Suihuan came in front of Shen Yuanwei.
She sneered, "You are not unwilling to help the emperor cure his illness, you just can't cure it at all? If you could cure it, how could you miss such a good opportunity? You would have rushed to cure it with me a long time ago, right?"
Shen Yuanwei smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I don't have that ability. I can't cure it. Didn't Divine Doctor Song say that only you can cure the emperor's illness? How can others do it?"
Seeing Shen Yuanwei's nonchalant and perfunctory attitude, Song Suihuan looked a little unhappy.
Shen Yuanwei winked at her playfully again, "Why hasn't Divine Doctor Song left yet? Do you want to enthusiastically check my pulse and treat my illness?"
She slowly stretched out her white wrist. "Oh, it's my honor to have a famous doctor in Beijing take my pulse. Come, Doctor Song, please feel my pulse."
“…”
Song Suihuan's expression was as if he had eaten a fly.
She gritted her teeth, stared at Shen Yuanwei for a few seconds, then turned around and left.
Shen Yuanwei withdrew her hand with a smile, pulled down her sleeve to cover her wrist, and looked in the direction of the Tai Chi Hall, muttering to herself.
"The emperor took Song Suihuan's medicine and was so happy and eager to leave. He must have gone to ask the concubines to take the medicine for testing, right? Then will he be able to let Xiao Lingzhao and I leave the palace without hesitation?"
…
Imperial Medical Service.
After Xie Junlin left the Empress Dowager's bedroom, he did not go to look for the concubines. Instead, he went directly to the Imperial Hospital to find his most trusted physician, Ge.
He took out a medicine box from his sleeve and handed it to Doctor Ge in a low voice.
"Check for me whether this pill is poisonous."
